Chapter 28, Chapter 9: Small Eyes!

Although he lost his lines and the chance to show off, Gojo Satoru truly mastered the Reversal Technique and the [He] and [Zi] spells.

And... perhaps because the learning process was more normal compared to the near-death enlightenment in the original work, Gojo Satoru learned the complete version of the Reversal Technique!

That is, the kind that can not only heal itself but also heal others.

Karin Origami clapped her hands with delight: "That's great! Then you can go help out at the infirmary from now on!"

Gojo Satoru:?

Why should I go to the infirmary?

Karin Origami tilted her head: "You're one of only two people who can reverse spells, so why don't you have to go to the infirmary?"

"But I'm a combat unit, what would I do in the infirmary?"

"My mom can fight too, so why is she the only one left in the infirmary?"

Gojo's sunglasses slid down: "Please, I'm the mighty Six-Eyed, the strongest, and you want me to go to the infirmary?"

Karin Origami pouted: "So what? You still ended up kicking the bucket. You might as well come to the infirmary; you'll live a little longer then."

Gojo Satoru: "..."

Damn it! So what on earth is that other Gojo Satoru doing?! Does he even realize he's dragging the other Gojo Satoru down?!

Before Ayaka Arashi could finish speaking, she continued, "Besides, aren't you and my mother good friends? Can't you go to the infirmary to help her out sometimes? My mother has to stay in the infirmary all the time, she must get tired, okay? And now you're all dead, leaving her all alone, and she has to take care of your bodies."

Upon hearing this, the distinguished VIP members of the Alliance of Young Deaths present fell silent.

Although they didn't do those things, and they are all still alive and well, the thought of Ieiri Shoko having to take turns handling their bodies made the grown men feel inexplicably guilty.

Shoko Ieiri paused for a moment, her gaze softening as she looked at the whorl of hair on Karin Oriyuki's head.

No wonder Natsumi was so focused on being a good father to Akari. It turns out that having a child who is completely devoted to you can really melt your heart.

Gojo Satoru's expression faltered for a few moments, unsure of what to say. Finally, he pursed his lips and said, "If you want my help, just say so. Why resort to personal attacks? I didn't say I wouldn't help..."

Karin Origami snorted, mimicking his tone, and repeated what he had just said: "Why the hell do I have to go to the infirmary?"

Gojo Satoru: "..."

Ayaka Shiki asked sarcastically, "I'm a combat unit, what would I do in the infirmary?"

Gojo Satoru: “…………”

Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gojo Satoru temporarily agreed to help at the infirmary, and so... the injured patient who came to the infirmary looked at the eight-year-old child in front of him, and then at Gojo Satoru behind him, whose impatient expression seemed to say, "Let me see where you need treatment," and hesitated to speak.

"Um... what about Ieiri-kun?"

Karin Oriyuki replied, "My mother took the day off today."

The implication is that you can only choose one of us.

Strange spellcaster: "..."

He...he felt that his injury wasn't that serious, and he could wait until his classmates woke up before coming back.

Unfortunately, he had no choice and was eventually subjected to rough treatment by Gojo Satoru.

Looking at the terrified look in the other person's eyes, it seemed that he thought Gojo Satoru was going to beat him up.

After everyone left, Gojo Satoru snorted, "Isn't this simple?"

Following his words, Ayaka Kiri said, "Simple, then you should come often."

Gojo scoffed, not falling for her trap, and sat back down to continue explaining to Natsumi what the Reversal Technique was all about.

At first glance, Xia Youjie's mentor team seems incredibly impressive, with three people skilled in Reversal Spells teaching him how to use Reversal Spells. But in reality... none of their explanations are comprehensible to a human.

Gojo Satoru explains the Reversal Technique as follows: multiplying negative energy will result in positive energy.

It sounds very scientific and makes a lot of sense.

But who the hell can learn how to actually do it from this perspective?! I also know that we can stand on the ground because of Earth's gravity. Does knowing that mean I can learn how gravity is generated?

Xia Youjie felt that Gojo Satoru's description was not as good as those given by Oriyuki Karin and Ieiri Shoko.

At least Karin Oori and Shoko Ieiri could understand each other, but Satoru Gojo couldn't understand what he was saying.

Karin Origami laughed. Back then, Satoru Gojo was complaining that she and Shoko Ieiri were both described in an abstract way, and now she was doing the same thing.

But Xia Youjie could only smile bitterly. He thought... was he going to become the only one in his class who couldn't learn the Reversal Sorcerer skill?

──

A few days later, during which time Oriyuki Ayaka also met with Mingming and Anka-hime.

As before, Mingming tried to get some information from her that could be exchanged for money, but instead, Ankagi got the news that Gojo Satoru was dead and started to mock him for it.

But in the end, Ankagi was still furious with Gojo Satoru, because Gojo Satoru said that she didn't even have the qualifications to fight in that kind of high-level battle.

For the past few days, Ayaka Shiki has been observing, watching Jie's current situation and whether there is any possibility of him defecting in the future.

If Xia Youjie really can't learn the reversal technique like in the original story, then Zhi Xueya Karin, who knows the plot's direction, can point him to a development direction that has already been proven feasible.

But this is contingent on confirming that Brother Jie really won't defect again.

Otherwise... if an enhanced version of the cult leader Jay comes along, we're doomed.

She discovered that Xia Youjie seemed to have taken a liking to reading philosophical and speculative books, which were supposedly recommended to him by Professor Cheng Tian.

Actually, Narita-sensei also recommended some novels to Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko. He recommended some lighthearted and heartwarming stories to Ieiri Shoko, since the infirmary is always filled with stories of death. He recommended...mystery and suspense novels to Gojo Satoru.

He could see that Gojo Gota was confident in his own strength, but before Gojo Gota really suffered a setback, there was no other more effective way to change this situation. So all he could do was recommend some books that could overwhelm others in terms of intelligence and strategy.

I don't hold out much hope. Whether he learns from these novels that fists aren't everything, or whether he subtly develops a habit of thinking things through before acting, that's fine too. If he doesn't achieve either, then I'll just treat it as entertainment...

But when Karin saw Satoru Gojo reading a mystery novel, she had only one thought in her mind: Narita-sensei, do you also think this guy needs to use his brain?

Regardless of whether Gojo Satoru gleaned any insights from those mystery novels, thus becoming Gojo Satoru or Gojo Gaku, Xia Youjie seems to have matured somewhat.

Once, she pretended to be clueless and asked Xia Youjie how he subdued the cursed spirits, what the cursed spirit balls tasted like, and why he would eat them if they tasted so bad.

Xia Youjie's answer was: "Because only in this way can we protect those who need protection."

He was referring to those who needed protection, not the weak. Moreover, his gaze seemed more resolute than before, which gave Karin Orishita a sense of satisfaction that her efforts hadn't been in vain.

However, Xia Youjie added after that sentence: "Moreover, if I don't get stronger, won't that guy Wu think he's the best in the world and invincible? Just thinking about seeing his smug, arrogant face, but not being able to beat him, makes me feel that even the worst cursed spirit ball is worth eating."

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

So you're swallowing the cursed spirit ball with the intention of beating up Gojo Satoru?

At first, she thought it was a bit far-fetched, but then she thought that 28-year-old Gojo Satoru still looked incredibly annoying.

Hmm... then it seems that this goal is quite stable and difficult to shake.

She finally nodded in approval: Keep it up, you silly cat. Brother Jie's resolve depends on how much you deserve a beating.

Of course, Xia Youjie also talked to her about some philosophical principles, which left Zhi Xueya Huali completely bewildered and her mind blank.

Gojo Satoru once again criticized him for spouting righteous theories, which resulted in another fight that sacrificed one-fifth of the college's teaching building—in reality, it was just a blown-up apple logo-shaped hole.

To be fair, Gojo Satoru's destructive power has indeed doubled compared to before.

But putting that aside for now, after sensing how stable Brother Jie's Dao heart was, Zhi Xueya Karin finally felt at ease entrusting the skills that Lu Suo had cultivated to him!

Brother Jie, we're the main character here. We can't be defeated by some guy from Northwest China, right?

She ran excitedly to Xia Youjie with her short legs, and called out, "Dad (chi)..."

As soon as she uttered the first syllable, she realized something was wrong: Why did she say it so naturally again?!

Xia Youjie looked at her with a puzzled expression.

In an instant, Karin's mind raced at top speed: "Chi, chi... small (chiisana) eyes!!!"

Xia Youjie: ? ? ?

The smile on his face was somewhat stiff.

You came all this way from afar just to laugh at my small eyes?

Embarrassed and with nowhere to hide, Ayaka Shiki could only manage a few awkward laughs: "Haha...hahaha..."

Brother Jie, let me explain...

"sorry!!!"
