Chapter 187: Ours is a simple money transaction! ...

The player and the first-year students received notification of the exorcism mission at the same time.

Before departure, while I was sorting and preparing my equipment, I was visited by a senior who happened to be free and had not received any overseas assignments.

"It's rare to see all the first-years here," Gojo Satoru said, deliberately sounding sarcastic. He stood in front of the cursed tool, completely unaware of his size, forcing the player to look up at him. "You've been missing since the summer festival, and now you've been caught by the respected Gojo-senpai. Why don't you just confess?"

Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu were only attracted by each other's appearance. When they found that Gojo Satoru was harassing the players, they lowered their heads and continued to pack up their cursed tools to prepare for the next mission.

The player looked around and saw that the only option left was to talk to Gojo Satoru, so he obediently replied, "Shin'er has assigned me some taijutsu training."

With the help of each other, the player's proficiency in QTE improves by leaps and bounds.

In addition, [Heaven and Curse] also has additional benefit bonus.

Nanami Kento frowned and relaxed his brows, and finally looked away.

Gojo Satoru reluctantly accepted the player's explanation, and pondered, "If it's that guy... he'd be a surprisingly suitable candidate."

Acknowledging the strengths of the man he considered utterly terrible made Gojo Satoru look grumpy. "Then tell me, what did he teach you?"

"Hey, Shen'er said there's no need to improve strength and explosiveness for now. He only taught me some techniques for dealing with dangerous people." The player pointed his finger.

Gojo Satoru tilted his head: "Huh?"

"Feel free to use Gojo Satoru as a training punching bag." Geto Suguru made a 'casual' gesture, hoping that the player would demonstrate the results of his training to Gojo Satoru over the past period of time.

"……OK?"

Gojo Satoru reflexively questioned his peers' intentions: "Why do I have to be a punching bag?"

"Well, forget it, let me check it out..."

The player recalls the techniques taught by the nominal taijutsu teacher.

Women's lower limbs are stronger than men's, so they should prioritize kicking over punching.

"Hiss——" the sound of sucking in cold air.

It wasn't made by Gojo Satoru himself, but was purely an instinctive reaction when he was startled by the player's unexpected action.

"...Good speed, and most importantly, no murderous intent at all." Gojo Satoru rested his chin on his hand, observing the player's kick that stopped not far from him. After a moment of calm, he was inexplicably shocked. "But why is it a move to defend against perverts?"

Xia Yujie patted his shoulder heavily: "This is why you were chosen."

If it happened to anyone else, they would definitely get hurt.

The player stared blankly, "The coping strategies are based on the level of danger you might encounter."

Speaking of which...

After Gojo Satoru’s reaction, the players couldn’t help but think deeply.

It seems that most of the targeted skills taught to players are based on the premise that the enemy is human, and there are very few moves specifically designed to deal with curses.

When asked this question, the person involved gave a nonchalant, barely permissible explanation: "It makes no difference whether it's directed at a human or a cursed spirit."

"The mission assigned to you by the Polytechnic Institute doesn't require you to take any action. If you encounter a cursed spirit that you have no chance of defeating, use the method I taught you. Let the cursed spirit catch up to your two peers first, and you can still hold on until rescued."

Teaching a guilt-free and quite inhumane method of self-protection!

The players at that time immediately used condemning eyes: stare...

"Ha, I haven't seen you look at me like I'm trash this way in ages." The man being stared at raised his hands insincerely, pretending to surrender, and quickly changed his words without any hesitation, "I was just kidding. ...If you're really in danger, just hide behind the six-eyed brat. Isn't he very strong?"

↑Above.

Gojo Satoru, who had received the approval of Heaven and Tyrant, was gesturing with a look of fear as he showed the expected position where the player would be kicked if there was no limit.

Xia Yujie suppressed his laughter, tightened his expression, and tried to make his voice sound serious: "As a means of self-defense, it is indeed very effective."

I just don't understand the intention of Tianyu Zhufu, who has zero spell power, teaching this way.

This picture clearly shows their attitude of guarding against the high school...

Geto Suguru silently lowered his gaze, the curve of his lips remaining the same as always.

It's quite... annoying.

"Huh?"

Gojo Satoru, realizing belatedly that something was amiss, protested, "The Zen temple has insulted my pure love for the younger generation!"

"Please, don't let the word 'love' come out of your mouth so frivolously." Nanami Kento said calmly.

Huiyuan Xiong suddenly realized: "So... it's love."

Gojo Satoru's emotions came and went quickly. Before the three first-year students were about to leave, he suddenly warned them, "Ah, be careful. You might run into some unpleasant people."

The players waited for his next words, but Gojo Satoru quickly gave up again.

"Forget it, it shouldn't be such a coincidence."

Nanami Kento said sharply, "Usually, after saying this, something unexpected will happen."

"Hey!" Gojo Satoru pretended to be innocent and cute.

…

"In the end, he still got away with it." Nanami Kento was unwilling to give in.

Huiyuan Yu naturally tried to smooth things over: "If it was an emergency, Gojo-senpai would definitely tell us."

"That would be better." Nanami Kento had no hope for this.

They arrived at the scene where the special magical power was detected at the 'window'.

No signs of cursed spirits were found nearby.

The player exchanged glances with his two peers and began to expand the search area around the point to track the whereabouts of the curse.

“…”

When the player realized that he had walked a long way, and turned back, he could no longer see Kento Nanami and Yuu Haibara.

The player turned his attention back to the remnants of cursed energy on the ground that were almost fading away, and a shadow appeared in front of him.

Following the clogs in front of me and looking up, I saw traditional clothes that were not often seen in technical colleges, and the person had a special highlighted hair color.

He did not bend over or lower his head to look the players in the eye. His eyes, which were filled with pride, were raised at the corners and his gaze was downward, looking down at the players from top to bottom.

"...Excuse me." The player tilted his head back, not blinking.

"Hasn't anyone taught you that a woman should always remain silent until a man asks her a question?" he said.

If the voice wasn't wrong, the player would have thought it was Ryomen Sukuna speaking.

No, Ryoumen Sukuna isn't the type to talk much with players, unlike this...

When the player was hesitating whether to draw his gun or sword, his chin was pinched and lifted up by someone.

That delicate face leaned closer, its eyes swept across the player's face, looked left and right, and then let go unkindly.

"I don't know what poor little place this woman came from. I really can't see what's so special about her."

Player: I feel like I've heard similar things more than once.

Compared to Tokyo, where else is not "poor"?

Really... I can't stand you young masters, huh? Young masters?

Now it was the player's turn to observe the other person carefully. From the facial features, one could see that he was somewhat similar to Shen Er.

Is this the 'young master of the Zenin family' that Gojo Satoru mentioned?

Zenin Naoya stood up straight, his hands tucked into his haori, and stood condescendingly: "Let me teach you the duty of a woman to stay within her proper place."

Player raises hand.

Say the first complete sentence since the other person appears.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zenin, let's just call you that for now, what is your relationship with Shen'er...?"

If you look closely, there aren't many similarities between the other person and Shi Er.

Cousins? Uncle and nephew?

The player did not get the answer from Zenin Naoya.

He almost jumped up after hearing what the player said, "Besides Wu-kun, you're also involved with Shin-kun?"

"Well, there are indeed some financial transactions." The player answered truthfully.

Seeing how aggressive he was, it turned out to be because of Gojo Satoru.

Now we have to add Shier.

Zenin Naoya took two steps back and suddenly smiled as he thought of something: "Pray that you don't fall into my hands at this year's sister school exchange meeting."

"Otherwise... I will definitely make you unable to cry."

He stared at the player with his fox-like upward eyes, his mouth curled up maliciously: "You are my prey."

After saying that, he turned away.

Player: Am I not your classmate from a different school?

What is this person talking about...

In short, a simple search found no trace of the cursed spirit, and the player reunited with two of his peers.

"We found signs of a battle over there. Other sorcerers must have exorcised the cursed spirit before us." Nanami Kento summarized his findings in a few words, noticing the dazed player. "Did anything happen?"

"Eh... I met a strange person." When asked suddenly, the player answered subconsciously, "He mentioned the sister school exchange meeting."

Huiyuan Xiong said "Ah" and asked curiously, "Fushimi wants to participate in the sister exchange meeting?"

His face was immediately filled with an embarrassment, as if he wanted to persuade someone but didn't know how. "Teacher Ye Moth feels that although the sister school exchange meeting is determined by the number of exorcised cursed spirits, it does involve competition between sorcerers."

"If you join without understanding the structure of a spell, you'll probably learn nothing." He blinked. "But now that Fushimi wants to join, I think Yoga-sensei will probably agree."

Nanami Kento also looked over, ready to listen to the player's answer.

"Hey, I don't have any intention of changing my decision." The player shook his head.

Fushimi Kyoji was just curious about something.

From the beginning, the player had no intention of participating in the sister school exchange meeting.

How is that person going to implement the action of "making players cry without even being able to cry"?

I have absolutely no idea what these young masters of the family are thinking.
