Chapter 126 Children Don’t Make Choices
Although Cheng Xiaoyu also wanted to pull off a Rum operation and hold a gem exhibition to directly use Kaito Kidd to lure the zoo, unfortunately, now that the competitor's winery has been arrested, the zoo cannot make any major moves to attract the police's attention.
After all, based on our understanding of the company's goods, the people arrested at the winery are very likely to... no, they will definitely give up their information in exchange for a reduced sentence for meritorious service.
As for the downfall of its competitor, the zoo has only one comment: "So, don't be so high-profile when doing things. And now, it's dead!"
Like a clam that was noticed on the beach, the zoo retreated underground and prepared to dig a hole and run away. They no longer fought against Kaito Crow and ignored Kaito Kidd. They were only concerned about withdrawing their forces from Neon before their competitors sold them out. They planned to stay quiet and wait for the storm to pass for a few years.
However, the fact that they cannot commit crimes openly does not affect their following formal procedures in secret.
Although the zoo is now forced to be a dwarf in terms of action, they can still be giants in collecting intelligence. They can record all the gems that they like but are inconvenient to obtain, and wait for the opportunity to get them after the hype has passed.
But Cheng Xiaoyu didn't intend to waste time with them.
To this end, Cheng Xiaoyu prepared several gems that would be safe for current zoos to acquire. Using the intelligence revealed by her "hyena" brain, she placed these "gem baits" at gem auctions around the world.
It is not convenient for the zoo to use irregular and illegal means to seize diamonds, nor is it convenient for the famous big gem to be unveiled by many people.
But with the advent and maturity of artificial gemstone technology, the whereabouts of a gemstone with no known origin at a gem auction wouldn't cause much of a stir. Zoos don't even need to resort to illegal means; they can simply wire money.
However, if so many "big gems" appear at the auction in a short period of time, the cunning zoo executives will definitely notice that something is wrong. Not only will they not take the bait, but it will also be even more difficult to catch them.
In order to avoid suspicion from the zoo, in addition to each gem looking like a "big gem", the size and shape of each gem are different, and not every gem specifically fits the description of "Pandora". Cheng Xiaoyu also wrote a different "personality" for each gem.
In order to better fish, Cheng Xiaoyu also fabricated and activated multiple fake identities to put these gems on anonymous and real-name auctions.
The main point is to put on a complete show.
The next thing to do is wait for the fish to take the bait.
The most difficult part of fishing is not making the bait and setting up the fishing rod, but the time you spend sitting on the shore and staring at the fish taking the bait.
In order to kill this boring time, Cheng Xiaoyu thought of taking advantage of this time to finish his to-do items, so he went to Tokyo Jutsu High School again.
The most important thing is the several levels of Sukuna on Yuji Itadori's body. It would be terrible if he forgot about this when he completed the mission and left.
When Cheng Xiaoyu explained her purpose and asked where Yuji Itadori was, Jiali Glass said, "You can find Yuji Itadori in the classroom, but he may not be free to come to your place for the soul separation surgery these days. After all, there are sister school reunions these days, and he may be a little busy."
Sister school association?
Cheng Xiaoyu thought about it carefully and finally remembered that she had heard Ieiri Naoko mention this when they were students. "Is it referring to the two sorcerer schools, Tokyo Jujutsu High School and Kyoto Jujutsu High School, joining forces to hold a sorcerer version of the school sports meet?"
Ieiri Glass: "It's about the same, but now there's a new item."
"If I remember correctly, this should only be held during the day when school is not open. Itadori Yuji wouldn't be so busy even after school, right? I think he also wants to get rid of Sukuna."
Ieiri Shoko: "It's not entirely Yuji Itadori's fault... Come with me to the classroom later and you'll know what's going on."
Cheng Xiaoyu noticed that Jia Ruxiaozi was packing what seemed to be lesson plans: "Are you going to substitute for Gojo Satoru in class?"
"No, this is the new project added by this sister school marriage."
Jiarui Glass raised the lesson plan in her hand, and the words "Mental Health Education" were written in large letters on the cover.
"Neither Jujutsu High School nor the other had ever offered a mental health class to their students before. So, Geto Suguru simply proposed adjusting the date and duration of this year's sister school reunion and taking this opportunity to give students from both schools a combined class on the importance of mental health."
......
Since the entire Neon Spell World was overturned and reorganized, the students of the Neon Spell School originally thought that this year's sister school exchange meeting would not be held, but they never expected that they would be notified that a sister school exchange meeting would be held during the upcoming winter vacation.
The students were told that this year not only would the previous individual and team competitions be retained, but new events would also be specially opened that would require all students to participate collectively.
The eager students guessed that the new project might be a cooperative project set up for the real purpose of friendship, such as "getting to know each other", so they were all eager to try it.
This excitement disappeared without a trace until they received the psychological questionnaire and the "Mental Health Education" textbook, and most importantly, when they heard Ieiri Shoko say, "If you don't study hard, you may not be able to get the professional qualification certificate of a sorcerer in the future."
"You're kidding, right?" said Nishimiya Momo, a third-year student at Kyoto School. "Does this mean sorcerers will need a license to work in the future?"
Ieiri Glass: "Specialized occupations should be standardized and require certification, with annual reviews every five years. This is to prevent the emergence of curse practitioners who secretly inflate prices for those affected by spiritual disasters, or who take on private work and charge exorbitant prices."
Except for Kenji Kamo, whose personal hobby is studying, the students immediately complained.
"We're already in the third grade and will graduate soon. Why are we taking the cultural exam now?"
Ieiri Glass: "We've certainly taken this into consideration, so active sorcerers, third-year students, or students at the first level or above can use a temporary sorcerer certificate. The temporary sorcerer certificate is reviewed once a year. And don't worry, the questions won't be difficult, just like the questions on a driver's license test."
The students looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Yuji Itadori, one of the students who had recently been living a normal school life, raised his hand and asked, "So, teacher, when will our exams be held?"
"The same time as the final exams for normal school students, which is five weeks from now."
......This is the reason why Cheng Xiaoyu saw a group of people writing furiously and memorizing test points, and it is also the reason why Yuji Itadori looked so determined when he heard after class that Cheng Xiaoyu was here to exorcise Sukuna.
Because he felt that he was going to fail his major course.
The soul is a very fragile thing, and it is closely related to a person's memory and thoughts. Therefore, even if Cheng Xiaoyu's surgical skills in separating mixed souls are superb, Yuji Itadori will need at least a week to cultivate his soul and will not be able to participate in the final review.
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Is it really okay? If you're in a hurry, you can come back after the exam."
Yuji Itadori: "No, Sukuna's problem is more urgent. This week I will ask Fushiguro and Kugisaki to help me write down the key points. I believe I can create a miracle with just a notebook. At worst, I can... come back next year, just to accumulate experience."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Actually, you don't have to participate, right? After Ryoumen Sukuna is eliminated, you can go back to your original high school."
Yuji Itadori rubbed the back of his head and said, "That's true, but after all, we've been through so much... and I heard from Miss Ieiri that a sorcerer's certificate can be used part-time, just like Zenin-senpai's sister and Panda's two sisters."
So Yuji Itadori doesn't want to choose between the life of an ordinary person and that of a sorcerer, he wants it all.
"So I plan to attend high school classes normally, and after class I'll go on missions with Kugisaki Fushiguro. This will also allow me to earn a salary as a sorcerer to support myself and enroll in cram school. After all, I missed a semester..."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "Are you greedy enough to want both life choices in your hands?... If you have this kind of determination and drive, you'll succeed in most things you do."
Yuji Itadori was a little embarrassed: "I'm just thinking about it first. I don't know if I can succeed."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "No matter what, you've tried your best. Even if you don't succeed, the most you can do is make up for it next year or repeat a grade in a regular school. This outcome is not a failure at all. You still have a long life ahead of you."
"Yeah!" Yuji Itadori replied with a smile, "I will definitely work hard to live a good life. I also plan to go to Beika Town to participate in the competition later! I hope I will have the opportunity to achieve it in the future."
"...into a karate tournament?"
"Not necessarily. After all, I haven't learned karate," said Yuji Itadori. "It's just that it's close and there are a lot of prestigious sporting events. I want to add more competition experience to make my resume look better."
"...Perhaps Beika Town would be a good place for you to develop in the future."
"That's what I thought. It's close to Tokyo, and both are part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, so transportation and management are very convenient. There are also many cursed spirits there. If I go there to study and work at a university, I can balance my work as a sorcerer with my daily studies. And so it seems, Miss Ghost thinks so too."
Cheng Xiaoyu: "...Yeah, that's right."
In fact, she just thought that with Yuji Itadori's extraordinary physical fitness, he would definitely meet many people like him in Beika Town.
For example, there's an elementary school student who can kick a satellite with a soccer ball, a high school girl who can bend a telephone pole with her bare hands and dodge bullets, and a low-profile Saiyan who can shatter a concrete pillar with his bare hands will randomly appear...
I guess in Beika-cho, even if Yuji Itadori accidentally revealed his extraordinary physical fitness in life, people would only think that he "learned it from karate."
