Chapter 100 (Catching Bugs)

On the day of the exchange meeting.

Zenin Maki asked the first-years who had just stepped onto the stairs.

"What about him?"

I looked left and right but couldn't see the white hair that should have been conspicuous.

The dormitories for freshmen and sophomores are not together, so Sochingo should go there with the freshmen.

As a result, after they all arrived, there was no sign of Sochingo.

I remember that it was agreed that he would act like that starting from this morning to reduce the chances of being found out. So the first and second graders took some time out from training a few days in advance to think about how to take care of him, and agreed that the first day's care would be done by the first graders who lived closer.

"He's coming with Gojo-sensei." Fushiguro Megumi walked in front and approached, "He'll probably be late."

Kugizaki Norose looked very shocked, and Yuji Itadori followed her and tried to comfort her in a panic.

The panda asked concernedly, "What's going on here?"

"Uh..." With a ghost in her mouth, Kugizaki No Rose did not answer.

It's nothing, I just thought I was going to Kyoto and brought some gifts. On the way, I met Yuji and the others, and they understood that it was done at our school, so they put the gifts back in the dormitory.

"It's not a big deal." Yuji Itadori laughed dryly, feeling it was not a good idea to directly reveal what had just happened.

It's just... it might be a bit embarrassing for No Rose Kugizaki.

"If we really want to go, come and ask Wu to take us there when we have time. He won't refuse." Yuji Itadori whispered to Kugizaki No Rose, and everyone knew which Wu he was talking about.

Kugizaki No Rose had tears in her eyes: "Really?"

It was obvious that the guy hadn't forced them to skip school since the last time at Fashion Street.

Probably, Yuji Itadori thought about it, nodded and gave Kugizaki No Rose a positive answer: "Really, really."

As far as he could remember, Sochingo rarely refused their requests.

Whenever he had something to ask Sochino about training, he would ask him for help, and he basically never refused.

Kugizaki No Rose was resurrected with full health, and looked around as if she had just discovered the environment: "Ah, are we gathering here?"

They were delayed for some time before arriving, so not long after the freshmen arrived, they heard the sound of small and dense footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs.

The teacher from Kyoto School walked up the stairs.

"There are three freshmen?" Nishimiya Tao discovered this as soon as she came up.

The number of second-year students in the Tokyo school is obviously insufficient, but even if we add the first-year students to make up the number... we don't need that many people.

Her eyes did not clearly pass over Yuji Itadori.

Is this the container?

Her superficial observation was not obvious, the location of Nishinomiya-Momo station to Kyoto school station.

"You can't win the exchange meeting by arranging more trash." The Ultimate Mechanical Maru spoke and stood still.

If arranging two freshmen is a sign of letting the team win, then arranging three can only mean that the opponent still has the desire to win.

But there is obviously another Otsutsuki among the sophomores, so why not let Otsutsuki play?

In response to the words of the Ultimate Machine Maru, Kenshin Kamo stood there with his eyes closed and spoke calmly.

"A sorcerer's strength has nothing to do with age."

He said this and said no more.

Yuji Itadori subtly sensed the attention and concern from others, but this was not sight.

He tilted his head in confusion. It was clear that no one in Kyoto School was looking at him, but his hair stood on end, as if he was being stared at.

In addition to Yuji Itadori, the second-year students and Megumi Fushiguro also noticed this subtle atmosphere.

The teacher finally came up the stairs. An Utahi immediately noticed that someone was missing and asked, "Where's that idiot?"

"It should be here soon." Zenin Maki.

"It shouldn't be too late." Nagizaki No Rose.

"It's really rare." Fushiguro Megumi.

Even if he didn't refer to someone specifically, everyone can tell that the original meaning of this sentence is "It's rare that Gojo teacher was not criticized by everyone" / "Someone actually spoke up for Gojo teacher."

Lian An Ge Ji was a little surprised and walked to the two principals who were already standing near the Kyoto school.

Almost the next moment, footsteps and Gojo Satoru's voice were heard from the direction of the Tokyo campus.

"Wow, I was almost late."

"...Who told you to go to tea?"

It was clearly the same voice, but the helplessness and complaints in the latter sentence made it seem different.

But this does not affect everyone being able to hear it as the same sound.

A group of people looked in that direction and saw two figures, one in front and one behind.

Gojo Satoru walked in front, adapting perfectly to everyone's gaze and leisurely raising his free hand to greet everyone.

With his other hand he was holding the boy behind him.

They are about the same height, but the person at the back looks shorter because he has his hair down.

The white-haired boy had a loose bandage wrapped around his eyes.

She was wearing a well-fitting high school uniform.

Miwa Kasumi's eyes lit up as she looked in their direction. She was so excited inside that her tail was wagging, but she appeared to suppress it tightly, with only her eyes revealing a bit of emotion.

Fortunately, almost no one paid attention to her at this time.

Yoshinobu Rakuganji had seen it last time, so the only one whose pupils trembled on the teacher's side was Utaha An.

? ?

What? What?

Seeing that they were almost identical, the person behind was being led over obediently. She quickly calculated and breathed a sigh of relief after ruling out the possibility that it was Gojo Satoru's son.

An Utahime: ...

Loose a ghost!

Iori Utahime, who didn't pay much attention to the usual rumors in the world of sorcery, had no idea that two Gojo Satoru had appeared recently.

Why are there two Gojo Satoru!

Looking at the younger one, is he going to attend the exchange meeting? !

Because Gojo Satoru walked too fast, Sochin Satoru almost tripped when he was about to arrive.

From his appearance, the careful people present noticed something, but they did not dare to confirm it directly.

"Teacher Gojo, please be careful!" As a result, the people from the Tokyo school had no intention of covering up. Several of them jumped up in fright. Yuji Itadori reacted the fastest and rushed over to support them. He felt that Gojo Satoru was unreliable, so he held Sochin Satoru by the waist and dragged him towards the team.

"Yoshi, I'll leave him to you." Gojo Satoru let go.

Seeing that there was no obstacle, Yuji Itadori was on his way with his men, and basically everyone from the Tokyo school came over.

"Yuji, let go. He will easily fall if you keep doing that." Norose Kugizaki was very dissatisfied with his hugging of her waist.

This is dangerous, isn't it?

"No, I didn't intend to go over like this." Yuji Itadori let go of his hand.

"It's scary if you drag it out like this without even saying hello, okay?"

Fortunately, Sochingo is not really blind.

"…I know I was wrong. There won't be a next time."

Yuji Itadori conducted a deep self-reflection.

While the two of them were arguing, or in other words, the next second after Yuji Itadori let go of his hand, Megumi Fushiguro grabbed the person and carefully guided Sochin Satoru to bypass the person blocking him and took him to the Tokyo school where he should be standing.

Zenin Maki followed him back, but Panda and Inumaki did not follow him at the beginning.

After all, there have to be a few people standing there, otherwise it would seem too rude.

"Good morning, Xiaowu."

Sochingo responded to the voice with a faint smile, "Good morning, Panda."

Even if he only shows half of his face, the first impression people get from seeing this smile is that he is "weak" and "non-threatening".

"Are you serious? Are you guys here to play house?" Seeing this, Zenin Mai, who had not spoken since arriving, could not help but speak up. "It's fine to let Curse come, but now there's even Blind Man. If you let them win, I will make you lose miserably."

Her gaze did not linger on Yuji Itadori, but instead looked at Sochin Satoru.

"Eh, eh...wait, wait, Mayi..." Miwa Kasumi was startled and wanted to stop it but didn't know how to say it.

Being blind or something like that is not good.

Tokyo proofreaders who understood the meaning of her words looked at her unkindly.

The only exceptions are Sochin Satoru and Yuji Itadori.

"Ah? Curse? Where is it?" Yuji Itadori looked around at all the contestants from Tokyo school and a question mark popped up over his head, "I haven't seen it since I entered the school."

Nagizaki No Rose, who had been sullen and furious, stumbled on her way back.

She held her forehead wearily.

She was a fool to think that Yuji Itadori would be hurt by such words.

However, even if Yuji Itadori was a few steps slow in reacting, it is unforgivable to say this about their companions.

"When will the exchange meeting start?" The other protagonist in the conversation, Sochin Satoru, looked as if he didn't hear anything and asked the panda calmly.

"Ah, it will be soon." The panda's anger was also interrupted, and he turned to look at the principals' position.

After being provoked by these two people, I was still angry, but there was no way I could maintain the same atmosphere as at the beginning, which was explosive and ready to start a fight at the slightest mistake.

In reality, it is impossible to start a fight.

After all, the two principals and teachers from both sides were present.

Ye Moth Zhengdao announced the format for the first day of the competition, and both sides disbanded to prepare for the competition.

"Just wait for me. I'm going to beat the shit out of you when I get in."

When they were about to separate, No Rose Kugizaki pointed at Mayu Zenin and threatened her like the super masters.

Zenin Shinji was stunned for a moment, and an expression of anger and shame appeared on her face.

"Kusaki!" Yuji Itadori rushed over and hugged her arm, while Megumi Fushiguro held her other side with an expressionless face. The two of them worked in tacit understanding and dragged away Kugizaki Norose, who was restrained and still making threats.

The second-year students used their bodies to block the sight of the Kyoto school as if nothing had happened.

Outside the dispute, Goujuanji led Zongjinwu forward.

They evacuated quickly. After Zenin Mai was interrupted, everyone in the Tokyo school turned their backs to her and walked away very fast. It was unrealistic to catch up with Kugizaki Norose and fight with her.

I could only grit my teeth and endure it.

"Mayi." Nishimiya Tao looked at her worriedly.

Zenin Shinji took two deep breaths, suppressed her anger, turned around and caught up with her school's team.

Nishimiya Momo stood there and turned to look at Tokyo Gakuen's back, her face turning cold.

These guys...

She turned and followed the crowd.

The waiting area of ​​the Tokyo school.

"I'll be in a team with Hisahito, and Satoshi Panda will go find the leader of the cursed spirits. Norose and Satoru will go around and exorcise the small cursed spirits. After all, Satoru is not very powerful now... If we are not seen by the people from Kyoto school, it will be fine for him to go and help Satoshi and the others." Zenin Maki arranged.

Facing this arrangement, Fushiguro Megumi raised her head and for once directly expressed her disapproval.

In fact, except for Yuji Itadori and Sochin Satoru, everyone else present disagreed.

"Maki, there is a high possibility that the Kyoto school will gather together to target Yuji Itadori." The panda spoke.

Zenin Maki nodded: "I know, I arranged it this way because I understand."

"Wooden fish flower." Goujuanji opened his mouth.

"I don't agree either." Fushiguro Megumi said.

"That's right, Maki-sister. Even if this arrangement gives us a good chance of winning, I must have a fight with that girl... the one with black hair." Kugazaki No Rose raised her hand, and she said this with gritted teeth.

The waiting room became very quiet.

Everyone looked at each other and showed their determination.

Yuji Itadori squatted and looked left and right, but found that he could not get a word in. Finally, he landed at the feet of Sochino who was standing nearby.

After a stalemate, the panda spoke again.

"When we first met, they had no reaction to Yuji Itadori's presence, and that was their biggest reaction."

The reason why that group of people didn't take Yuji Itadori seriously was not because he posed no threat, but rather... because they would definitely kill him, or in their eyes, Yuji Itadori was bound to die, so they didn't care too much.

No one present is a fool, so they can naturally see it.

Similarly, they also knew that Zenin Maki made such arrangements out of confidence.

Yuji Itadori's strength, whether in physical or sorcery, is comprehensive enough to make him a first-class sorcerer.

The same is true for Zenin Maki, who is apparently a fourth-level sorcerer.

But since the other party is so confident that they can successfully attack Yuji Itadori, they must have some hidden trick up their sleeve.

The pandas' concerns are justified.

The other three who objected were worried about their companions and wanted to vent their anger.

Since the other party is bound to take action anyway, why not just fight together, decide the winner, and then go find the cursed spirit.

They were in a stalemate until Zenin Maki finally sighed and compromised.

"What should I do with Wu? He needs someone to take care of him."

Suddenly, Sojingo was cueed and turned his head to "look" over.

Take care of……

This feeling is really rare.

"I'm with Yuji." He also squatted down like Yuji Itadori, his hands consciously supporting his upper and lower jaws, with a smile on his lips, "Originally, I pretended to attend the exchange meeting, in addition to pissing off that old man, to protect Yuji."

It would be great to be able to pretend until the next game, but this is only possible if your companions are not in danger.

Now that he has said so, it will be easy to divide the teams.

Anyone else might get into an accident with Yuji Itadori, but if it was Sochin Satoru, and coupled with Yuji Itadori whose strength has improved by leaps and bounds during training during this period, they couldn't find a reason to be together for a while, so their mentality changed.

——The overall situation is important.

"Then let's stick with the same assignment. How about Wild Rose come with me?"

Hui Panda is the best here in terms of exploration. Together with Dog Juan Ji, it will be no problem for them to fight against the second-level cursed spirit, which is the cursed spirit leader in this game.

And Zenin Maki and Kugizaki No Rose.

To be honest, even if the two of them separated and acted separately, the third and fourth level cursed spirits they met on the road would not be able to hinder them.

No one objected this time.

Nagizaki No Rose stared at the two people squatting in the corner in a funny way and said, "Give that black-haired woman a good beating."

Black-haired woman, who?

Yuji Itadori began to recall.

……ah.

The one who said something incomprehensible and said that Sochingo was blind.

Suddenly feeling himself burning with passion, Yuji Itadori gave Norose a thumbs up and a hearty smile showing his white teeth.

"oh!"

After he finished speaking, his expression became firm.

The announcement of the upcoming competition spread throughout the campus, and students from the two schools stood at their respective starting points.

After the start, the people from the Tokyo school split up and ran in three directions.

"Um?"

An Utahime, who was sitting in the referee's room, made a sound subconsciously, obviously not expecting the Tokyo school's action.

After all, the second-level curse spirit will be initially placed between the two schools.

Normally, the students would rush to the center and collide with each other sooner or later.

Gojo Satoru crossed his legs with his hands clasped behind his head, a smile on his face. He didn't make any sound, just staring at a screen on CCTV where Yuji Itadori was running with Sochin Satoru on his back.

The wind brushed past my ears.

Yuji Itadori was running quickly through the woods with the person on his back. He and Sochingo were heading towards the center of the two schools.

The other two groups went to both sides, looking for cursed spirits from the outside to kill and score points.

A spider hangs from a branch, a third-level cursed spirit.

Sochino raised his hand and waved it lightly using the power of the spell.

"prick--"

The cursed spirit was crushed and scattered in the air, and the fist that rushed out from the side hit nothing.

The man was hidden in the cover of the trees and was not seen until he broke out.

Yuji Itadori jumped over an obstacle that suddenly rushed in during his sprint. He was originally planning to continue running, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the person who appeared was from Kyoto school, so he stopped briefly.

He looked around, a little dazed.

"Oh, alone?"

Normally, everyone should run to the center, Maki-senpai!

"This cursed power control is pretty good." After missing the target with a punch, Todou Aoi stood up, clenched his fists in front of him, and looked at Sochin Satoru with interest.

"Thanks for the compliment~"

Sochingo responded by leaning slightly against him, "Yuujin, put me down."

After this normal volume, he whispered in a voice that Toudou Aoi couldn't hear: "They are all here."

But still on the way.

Without naming any names, Yuji Itadori understood that everything had come.

"Okay." Yuji Itadori put Sochingo down with a normal look on his face, while holding the other person's hand with one hand to give him strength.

"You, really can't see?" Toudou Aoi felt a little discouraged by his frail appearance.

"I can see the magic power." Sochingo told half the truth.

The truth is of course that everyone can see it.

"Since you dare to participate in the exchange meeting, you must be well prepared."

No one will show mercy just because you can't see.

As soon as the words fell, Toudou Aoi appeared beside the two of them.

Yuji Itadori widened his eyes.

So fast.

But he had time to react.

After all, during training, Sochingo was faster.

Yuji Itadori blocked Todou Aoi's fist at Sochino's side, then jumped up lightly without any stagnation, using his hand on Todou Aoi's shoulder to gain leverage, and accelerated in the air with his body flexibly and quickly to perform a side kick.

The force exploded when they made contact, and the accumulated power directly knocked Toudou Aoi back about five meters.

Such a result made Toudou Aoi a little stunned.

It has been a long time since anyone has been able to match him in strength. No, there is even a tendency for someone to surpass him.

"Is Wu okay? He didn't touch you just now, did he? Was it windy?"

Sochino stood aside with his hands in his pockets, watching the show. The strong wind caused by the force of the collision caused his short hair to fly in disarray.

No one even touched him, and besides...

"The wind is strong... I won't be blown down by a gust of wind, right?" He said this with a helpless smile.

Even if there is no limit, it won’t be like this.

When seeing Yuji Itadori circling around Sochino after repelling him, Aoi Todou looked like she had found a rival who was equally matched with her.

The smile was very joyful, and looked a little scary.

"Very good, I recognize your strength."

As expected, they are freshmen who dare to rush forward with just two people.

Whether it is Yuji Itadori or Sochin Satoru beside him, the former's physical strength and skills have obviously been systematically developed, and he has a certain degree of combat experience, while the latter's control over cursed power is definitely stronger than what he just showed.

I really came at the right time to attend this exchange meeting.

"Come, let's have a good fight..."

“Bang, bang, bang—”

The sound of gunfire was heard through the woods with great penetration.

“Enlightenment!”

From the sudden gunshot to the moment Yuji Itadori rushed to Sochingo's side, picked him up with one foot, jumped up and ran away, easily dodging three bullets, only one second passed.

Sochingo suppressed his almost conditional reflex and turned on his unlimited thoughts, and instead wanted to protect Yuji Itadori.

Feeling the wind blowing, I fell into deep thought.

Ah, so how long will the performance end?

While running, Yuji Itadori jumped up flexibly and kicked off the arrows shot at the two people. Seeing the guns and arrows stop, he also stood there holding the people.

At this time, whether on the ground, in the trees, in front, behind, left, and right of him, or in the sky, there were people from Kyoto School.

"What do you want to do?"

Yuji Itadori had anticipated this happening a long time ago, so he was not angry at all and asked directly and innocently.

But in the eyes of others, it was impossible for Yuji Itadori, who was under siege, to remain peaceful since he was able to easily dodge their attacks.

The expression at this moment seemed more like hiding the anger and murderous intent.

So all the students in Kyoto School became alert.

Is this Yuji Itadori? Very strong, a dangerous man indeed.

Just when they were about to reconsider their countermeasures.

A hand slapped Yuji Itadori's face, completely blocking his face. Sochingo's tone was emotionless and he spoke each word clearly.

"Put me down."

So how long will the performance end?

Yuji Itadori immediately realized what he had done and quickly put Sochingo down.

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

The tense atmosphere suddenly faded a lot.

Kenki Kamo did not raise his hand holding the bow and arrow, his attention was all on Sochin Satoru.

Is he Yuji Itadori's weakness?

This person who looks very similar to Gojo Satoru should have been a person they were very wary of.

If what he thought was true, he could start with Sochingo first. As long as he didn't endanger Sochingo's life, he could achieve his goal by involving Yuji Itadori.

Destroying the curse is the top priority, and any means necessary will be used to achieve this.

Zenin Shin'ei was aiming her gun at Sochingo's shoulder, when he turned around without warning and smiled at her.

The Zen temple was really shocked.

Can he see?!

Miwa Kasumi held the hilt of the sword and assumed a fighting stance, but she did not have much desire to fight.

She looked in the direction of Sochingo, her eyes wavering.

This person helped her get an autograph, and his name was also Gojo Satoru... He was blind, so what should he do? If they attacked him, he would most likely stop them.

But before the two people in the middle, or the Kyoto school students surrounding them, became quiet again.

Toudou Aoi, who was also standing in the center, punched the ground, causing a small vibration.

"Don't bother me. If you do, I'll kill you." Todou Aoi's gaze fell specifically on Kamo Kenshin.

Feeling that the people from Kyoto School were about to start an internal conflict, Sochino applied cursed power to his hands.

Although it's not bad to watch them do the inner bar, it's rare to have such a training opportunity~

“Pah.”

The sound of clapping echoed in a small area, stopping many people's movements and attracting attention. The same voice and tone as Gojo Satoru made it easy for people to have the illusion that the person in front of them was Gojo Satoru.

"Okay~ Everyone, get along well with each other."

"We're all going to fight and communicate anyway...how about we just fight together?"

After saying this, Sochingo turned his head and asked Yuji Itadori who was behind him.

"What do you think, Hisahito?"

When asked this question suddenly, Yuji Itadori was stunned for a moment, and said his true feelings very honestly: "Ah, I don't care."

In the special training that lasted for such a long time from the time they entered school to the exchange meeting, each of them had experienced cooperative attack and being besieged, which was considered basic training.

Everyone also has specialty training, for example, Yuji Itadori was assigned a one-on-many situation.

Especially with Sochingo around, it felt like I was training.

Sojinwu curled his lips and smiled.

Then, as he expected, the Kyoto school showed a very surprising momentum.

"You are so arrogant, kid." Zenin Shin'ei tapped the butt of the gun with his palm and raised his eyes. This time, he did not hide his murderous intent at all. "Okay, then I will satisfy you."
