Chapter 60: I don't want to go to work
Although the intensive training class on Sunday was tiring, the results were outstanding. When Riko returned to school that day, she was able to persist in physical education class longer than before.
The Tokyo Jujutsu High School she attended had a curriculum that was more like a fighting class than a physical education class...
Tennen Riko wiped off the dirt on her face, but she also knew that the dirt was probably washed away by sweat, so she did this action just to prevent the sweat from flowing into her eyes.
She lay on the ground to relax for a while. The physical education teacher standing nearby had already made an impatient "tsk" sound: "Little brat, didn't you say you were going to practice, and this is the result?"
Tennenori felt her strength returning a little - this was one of the changes brought about by practice. She supported her body with her still thin arms tremblingly, and had no intention of arguing with this heaven and tyrant: who dares? Anyway, she didn't dare. She had long learned to silently rate herself in her heart when her whole body was in pain.
She did a few good dodges today. Kuroi should have recorded them for her, right? She'll need to review them when she gets home...
By the time she staggered to her feet, the impatient PE teacher had already gone to "compete" with other students.
Thank God, all three of them took physical education classes together at their affiliated middle school.
She walked to the edge of the playground to drink water, looking down at the blisters on her hands that were almost healed. Those were the blisters and wounds from recent fighting with weapons. She had learned to ignore the stinging in her hands and picked up the water cup steadily.
In fact, she had no objection to working in the village. However, before she knew that village training was really useful, she was worried that she would fall behind in progress if she didn't train for two days during the holiday.
Hei Jing wiped the stains off her face with a wet towel and whispered, "Use some of the ointment Chiri-sama sent you tonight."
While working at Zhili's house on the weekend, she discovered the wounds on her hands and body. Zhili gave them some ointment made from herbs she had picked herself.
"Although there are many kinds of wound medicine on the market now—you can give this one a try," Gong Zhili said at the time. "I do have some experience in this area."
The fact that Gong Zhili, who usually doesn't show off much, said "I have some experience" shows that these ointments must have special features, and they all accepted them happily.
Nakano Riko hesitated. "Should I use it today? I think the blisters on my hands are almost healed."
It is said that blisters are good when they burst, and calluses will grow on the hands. She thinks that the calluses on her hands should also mean that she has reached the next step in her life, right?
Hei Jing helped her check her palms and found that the blisters were indeed healing quickly, and the soft flesh between her palms and fingers had slightly hard calluses when pressed.
"I'll just rest for a while," Tenriko said, "Kuroi, you have your own things to do too. You don't have to stay with me all the time."
The advantage of coming to this affiliated middle school is that there are no curse spirits in this area, so the cursers will be suppressed to the greatest extent. Nanami and Huiyuan said that going to school here feels like having stones tied to their bodies, which is somewhat similar to the feeling of training in the village.
Because there were no curse spirits, the sorcerers were suppressed, and with the patrols and protection of other teachers, Tennen Riko no longer needed Kuroi to be by her side all the time.
Kuroi Misato smiled and said, "The young lady nowadays won't get lost either."
This place seemed to be the old house of the Zenyuan family. It became what it is now after being renovated by Zhili.
Although the scenery was really beautiful, this Chinese garden-style mountain house was winding and she had no idea where to go during the first week after she arrived, so she always needed Heijing to lead the way.
Tianlizi was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "That happened in the past!"
She made it through the morning gym class and went to the cafeteria to eat.
"How pitiful," someone said. "Poor little thing."
Tian Tianlizi looked up unhappily, and the words she wanted to refute were washed away by surprise: "Chiri, why are you here!"
Gong Zhili smiled and waved at her: "Gojo wants to see me for something and wants me to come over."
Gojo Satoru plans to completely transform the mountain into a campus, and will put the kindergarten, middle school and primary schools together, plus dormitories for faculty and students, teaching buildings, canteens, convenience stores, small supermarkets and other functional area buildings. She originally thought that Gojo Satoru wanted to abandon the current style and replace it with the school style of the island country, but Gojo said that the current building complex in the mountain is completely sufficient, and only needs a simple transformation to become a Chinese garden-style school.
"This style will definitely be a hit!" Gojo said. "The students will like it, too."
They were eating in the cafeteria at the moment. Miya Chiri and Tenchi talked for a while. Gojo came over with some desserts. Tenchi's teeth hurt when she saw the pile of sweets, so she went to find Kuroi for dinner.
Gong Zhili asked: "Then why did you come to me?"
Gojo Satoru: "In the future, more and more people will enter schools, and the teachers' ideas will have a profound impact on the children."
Gong Zhili lowered his head to eat, indicating that he was listening.
Gojo Satoru raised his eyes. If other people heard what he said, they might call him a "madman". He didn't care about other people's opinions, but he felt that Gong Zhili would not care about such things.
"I would like you to monitor this mountain," Gojo Satoru said, "so that I can know what is happening there."
Gong Zhili didn't ask him why he did this. In fact, she quite understood this approach. She thought Gojo Satoru would ask her to mark everyone on the mountain for easier surveillance and tracking.
"The reward is this—clang clang!" Gojo Satoru took out a cookbook from somewhere and placed it in front of her. "This book is really good. All my favorite desserts are in it. There's even a recipe for pineapple buns!"
Gong Zhili took the recipe and said, "It's a small matter." She had a contract with this land, and all the creatures on this mountain were her subordinates. If she wanted to know, she could even get the information in the wind blowing across the mountain.
After handing the matter over to her, Gojo Satoru was no longer worried about the follow-up and instead began to introduce her to the middle school enrollment.
"Actually, quite a few people came here just for the school's environment and cafeteria~" Gojo Satoru said proudly, "After I showed them around once, they were all very interested."
While eating the curry udon noodles recommended by the cafeteria, Miyajiri asked, "Will you tell them about the risks of the Jujutsu world from the beginning?"
Gojo Satoru knew what she wanted to ask and said, "Children at home can 'see' strange things. Parents either choose to hide them or try to find out about them. Whether our presence is good or bad for them is up to them to decide. We simply provide a new way out."
Gong Zhili could fully understand what he meant.
"So how many students will you have enrolled next year?" Gong Zhili asked.
"There are three first-year students, five second-year students including Riko, and two third-year students." Gojo Satoru's smile became particularly genuine.
These are things he didn't do in his previous life.
Bring fresh blood to the new world of spells.
Gong Zhili was a little surprised: "So many people? Is there any problem with safety?"
Gojo Satoru looked at her speechlessly.
Gong Zhili pointed at himself and said, "Ah? Are you really going to leave it to me?"
Gojo Satoru shook his head: "This place is much more powerful than you think."
Gong Zhili: "I feel like you've made good use of some of my things."
Gojo Satoru: "I am the strongest, and I am also the strongest in terms of brains."
Gong Zhili glanced at him, didn't respond, and buried his head in eating udon noodles.
Gojo Satoru: "Hey, you seem to disagree with what I say."
Gong Zhili slurped her udon noodles and pretended not to hear.
Gojo Satoru: "Hey, don't you agree that I'm the strongest? Do you want to fight me?"
Miya Chiri started to drink the soup, and Gojo Satoru stared at her with burning eyes.
Gong Zhili finished his udon, wiped his mouth, and said, "Wait until I'm eighteen, and I'll beat you to the ground."
Gojo Satoru suddenly asked, "Where do you think eighteen years old is adulthood?"
Gong Zhili thought for a moment and decided it didn't matter if he tried to trick her: "You can think of it this way."
Gojo Satoru's mood suddenly brightened: "That's only four years away. I'll celebrate for you on your coming of age day, and then you have to fight me!"
Gong Zhili looked at him and nodded calmly.
When her strength returns to her body, she will have the confidence to fight Gojo even if she is not on the land of her contract.
We’ll see who can become the “strongest” then.
After dinner, Gojo seemed to have something else to say, so he took Miyajiri for a walk. Tenchiriko looked at their backs and said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you have so much to say?"
She also wanted to have a conversation with Zhili.
But without Kuroi telling her, she knew that Chiri and Gojo were probably talking about some very important "big thing", something that she couldn't get involved in right now.
"Okay, I have to work hard in the afternoon classes!" Tenriko encouraged herself.
In fact, the two people didn't say anything serious. As soon as Gojo Satoru came out, he asked, "Did you bring your cell phone?"
Gong Zhili took out his cell phone: "Didn't you ask me to bring it with me when I go out? Of course I brought it."
Gojo Satoru said, "Send me some photos of the children you took at home."
Gong Zhili paused: "Huh?"
Gojo Satoru was puzzled. "You didn't take any pictures? That's not right. They say you take lots of pictures after you have a child."
Gong Zhili said slowly: "I did take a lot of photos, but I took them all with a camera and printed them out." There were no photos on the phone at all.
Gojo Satoru sighed: "Next time, use your phone to take a picture!"
Gong Zhili: "What do you want their photos for?"
Gojo Satoru said without hesitation: "Of course, it's to get hold of their dark history as children so that I can use it as a condition for blackmail when they grow up."
Gong Zhili: "Wow, what a scumbag."
Gojo Satoru retorted, "That's the fun of raising children!"
Gong Zhili pondered, "Who among these children do you think would consider their childhood photos as black history?"
Gojo Satoru didn't hesitate: "Of course it's Kei."
Gong Zhili: "What a coincidence, I think so too."
"So we should take more pictures. It will be so interesting to see his expression change." Gojo Satoru urged her.
Gong Zhili: "But it's too troublesome to take out my phone to take pictures at any time at home. I don't want to do that."
Gojo Satoru complained, "How much do you dislike using a cell phone? It's a necessity for modern life, right?"
Gong Zhili: "That's not a necessity. Who would put their phone in their pocket when they're weeding in the fields?"
Gojo Satoru: "But aren't the children pulling weeds at home?"
Gong Zhili protested, "I did it with them! Don't make it sound like I'm exploiting the children. I was the one who did the most!"
Gojo Satoru laughed and asked her, "Are you really going to stay in the village forever?"
Gong Zhili: "Well, but when I turn 20, I must get a driver's license and buy a car." There is no point in her going out alone now.
Gojo Satoru: "You know I'm not talking about this kind of hanging out."
He continued, "When you're twenty, do you want to be a teacher at the technical college?"
Gong Zhili looked puzzled. "Let me ask first, does Shen Erjun have a teaching license?"
Gojo Satoru said cheerfully, "Of course not."
Gong Zhili: "Then how can he be a physical education teacher?"
Gojo Satoru: "The contract he signed with us was for school security."
Gong Zhili: "It's not good to exploit loopholes like this."
Gojo Satoru: "Don't worry, the procedures are complete!"
Gong Zhili: "I don't want to go. I don't want to go to work yet."
Gojo: "Where's your youthful energy?!"
Gong Zhili confessed: "I don't want to go to work because I want to keep this kind of vitality!"
