Chapter 44: Day 44 of Cultivation
Chapter 44
Location: Panxing Sect, Tokyo Headquarters.
Time: February 2007.
Characters: Gojo Satoru, Ieiri Shoko, Meimei, and Geto Suguru (he follows the other three worriedly, so he is placed at the end of the order).
Are you asking about Kanako? Oh, Kanako is holding Gojo Satoru's hair and riding on his neck.
"Fighting!" Kanako took out the few English words she remembered and drove the Gojo towards the headquarters.
*
After a while, at the headquarters of Panxing Sect, the Home of the Son of Star.
As Panxing Cult's representative director, Shigeru Sonoda, was convening a meeting of all ordinary members, a member who had been guarding the gates rushed in and whispered, "It's the sorcerers... those sorcerers are here."
"That's really strange." Sonoda Shigeru remained calm and explained with a smile, "Everyone, we have a special guest arriving today and I need to entertain them. Please be patient."
"For the time being, I will have my assistant continue to preside over the gathering. Don't worry, it won't affect the best time for your offerings."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked off the stage and followed the believers guarding the door out of the side door of the venue.
Almost as he left the door, Sonoda Shigeru's expression darkened, and he slowly opened his half-closed eyes: "Tell me, who are they?"
"Two of the sorcerers are Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, the main personnel involved in the astral plasma escort mission last year. They have both been promoted to special-grade sorcerers. The details of the other three are currently unknown."
At this point, the guard gnashed his teeth and couldn't help cursing, "Damn it! If it weren't for the interference of those two bastards, the assassination mission of the Star Plasma might have succeeded, and Master Tianyuan wouldn't have to—"
"Fujita," Sonoda Shigeru interrupted him, frowning and scolding, "Don't make me remind you a second time that Master Tianyuan didn't assimilate."
"But the news in the Jujutsu world is clearly saying..." Fujita hesitated, "that Master Tengen has found a more suitable astral plasma, so Tennariko is no longer needed. The timeline for assimilation is still unknown."
"It's just a deception. Master Tengen's body is inviolable. Besides, I've already revealed the truth to you at the previous gathering—there is no second Star Plasma. The former Star Plasma, Tenriko, has returned to her school, proving that Master Tengen actively refused assimilation."
Sonoda Shigeru said devoutly, "I have always firmly believed that Master Tianyuan must have noticed our faith. In order to repay our ancestors' loyalty over the years, Master Tianyuan finally came to his senses..."
"…No, it's because Lord Tianyuan finally stopped believing the slander of those sorcerers and realized how noble his own body is, one that cannot be polluted or harmed."
"Yes, you are right!" Fujita agreed.
Fujita was successfully persuaded, but the good times didn't last long. He vaguely discovered the key to this incident: "Lord Sonoda Shigeru... what should we do if they attack us?"
"Should we seek help from the sorcerer who is in charge of us?"
"No need," Sonoda Shigeru said calmly. "We, the Panxing Cult's [Vessel of Time Society], have always firmly stood for those who are not sorcerers. No matter how powerful those sorcerers are, they have no reason to attack us directly."
"Otherwise, they would be violating the principles of the magic world... and would become criminals wanted by the entire magic world."
"Oh... As expected of Lord Sonoda Shigeru, you are so thoughtful!" Fujita applauded.
"Forget it, Fujita, let's go meet those distinguished guests."
At this time, Panxingjiao's representative director Shigeru Sonoda did not realize what he was about to face.
He would never have imagined that the church known as the "Absolute First Religion" would be completely overturned along with his worldview in one day.

"Turn it on."
*Gojo Satoru swears.
"Can't someone just delete the startup chime from this loudspeaker?" Gojo Satoru said unhappily. "It's ruining our impressive entrance!"
This group of students used cursed energy to strengthen their bodies and ran very fast. The system gritted its teeth and tried desperately to catch up with them, floating out of breath.
The system recovered, took a deep breath, and complained loudly: "That kind of aura doesn't exist at all. You guys just look like you're on a picnic, right? Don't slander the loudspeaker! It's innocent!!"
Ieiri Naoko shrugged, threw a bulging bag to the ground, and took out a bag of snacks from it: "How can it be a picnic?"
System: ...Do you dare to let me see what is in your bag?
"Ahem, hello, hello, I'm the handsome Gojo Satoru."
After testing the clarity of the cursed power loudspeaker, everyone tacitly freed their hands and covered their ears tightly.
The next second, a deafening voice rang out: "Listen up, everyone in the Panxing Sect's [Vessels of Time Society], you've been surrounded by members of our [Tianyuan Lord Gaming Club]! Come out and fight!"
Geto Suguru stepped forward to advise, "Actually, there's no need to be so extreme... Wait, is this just a simple battle? Are you sure you won't do anything that violates the bottom line of the Jujutsu world after the battle?"
According to the "Geto Suguru Reverse Supervision Plan", this time it is Ieiri Shoko's turn to use her best acting skills and start to act out.
So, she narrowed her eyes dangerously, holding an unlit cigarette in her hand: "What are you talking about, Xia Yu, are you scared?"
"They're just a bunch of non-magicians. Their existence only causes us trouble and they were sacrificed by unreliable rulers in the battle to annex the church. Haha."
Mingming took out a lighter and pretended to light a cigarette for Jia Ruxin, but the latter waved his hand to refuse.
"This isn't a question of whether it makes sense..." Xia Youjie was confused. "You mean annexing the church?"
“Crunch.”
The iron gate at the front of the Panxing Sect headquarters slowly opened, and Shigeru Sonoda and Fujita walked out.
"Who is making so much noise here?"
Gojo Satoru said impatiently, "We've already introduced ourselves. We are the Pansei Cult's [Tengen-sama Gaming Club]!"
Sonoda Shigeru:?
The Panxing Sect is in front, what is following behind?
Never mind. Sonoda Shigeru said calmly, "I've never heard of such an organization affiliated with the Panxing Sect."
Gojo Satoru snapped his fingers. "You're right, you haven't heard of it. Just like Lord Tianyuan doesn't care about your nonsense, we are an organization authorized by Lord Tianyuan. We are completely incomparable to pirated goods."
When Fujita heard the word "pirated," he was immediately enraged: "Lord Sonoda Shigeru, they are insulting us!"
He really comes with bad intentions.
Sonoda Shigeru let out a light click of his tongue and decided not to continue pretending with them.
Since the other party came with obvious hostility, Sonoda Shigeru simply asked directly: "What exactly do you want to do by coming here uninvited?"
"Friendly relations and cooperative exchanges." Mingming said with a smile, "Have you ever been to elementary school? Clubs organize exchange activities to improve the relationship between members..."
“But sometimes, this exchange of activities is held in the form of competition.”
Sonoda Shigeru understood a little and said, "Are you planning to have your organization engage in a religious exchange with us?"
"Faith?" Mingming emphasized the word, and said with a hint of amusement, "Is this the battle mode you chose? Okay, we accept it."
Sonoda Shigeru frowned: "Don't try to act on your own."
"The Panxing Sect calls itself the First Divine Religion, but it doesn't even have this level of tolerance. Isn't it a bit of a name without substance?" After Mingming finished reciting his own lines, he performed exceptionally well, adding in a rhythmic manner, "Isn't it impossible?"
Kanako chimed in in the most accessible way: "Are you scared? Worried that you're no longer the most favored organization under Lord Tengen, aren't you?"
"No way!" Kanako suddenly realized, "This is too lame!!!"
Too bad——
Lose——
...
The strengthening of the cursed power speaker transmitted Kanako's words, and they echoed in the air like lingering sound.
The simplest provocative method can yield the most effective results.
Not only was Fujita present, who heard the entire conversation, the volume was loud enough to make some people in the venue lean over and stick their heads out, making the believers easily take the bait.
“How dare they insult our faith!”
"Let them see how powerful we are, Lord Sonoda Shigeru!"
“They will definitely be punished!!!”
"By the way, our organization has a special approval certificate from Lord Tengen." Gojo Satoru clapped his hands and looked at Geto Suguru.
Then he shifted his gaze to the package and looked at Geto Suguru.
Xia Yujie walked over with gritted teeth, opened the zipper of the package, and took out a piece of... a banner with a red background and gold edges.
"The [Lord Tengen Gaming Club] is truly amazing! The power of faith is so terrifying—a gift from Lord Tengen." Gojo Satoru read out the words embroidered on the banner word by word.
System: ? Isn’t this the banner they asked me to order from the grocery store at the foot of the mountain a few days ago? It’s only 9.9 yuan, free shipping, and they’ll deliver it to my door personally.
"But please look, here is the cursed power seal exclusive to Lord Tengen, there is no mistake about it." Ieiri Shoko kicked a small area in the corner.
It's bad. Sonoda Shigeru discovered that something was wrong.
That seal was genuine. Besides him, those old believers who had believed for many years would surely be able to accurately identify it... the kind of seal engraved on documents that had not changed or faded for thousands of years.
The [Tianyuan Lord Game Club] was actually personally recognized... Now, they have a completely reasonable excuse to initiate an exchange meeting.
For a moment, the people who came out of the venue became excited again.
Shigeru Sonoda was in a difficult situation. He kept reminding himself, "These people can't use cursed power on ordinary people like us, otherwise they will be convicted as curse masters and wanted..." After a moment, he finally felt relieved.
Let him see what these guys are up to.
Shigeru Sonoda "friendly" invited everyone into the venue and personally explained the purpose of their visit to the believers in the venue.
The general meaning is that as a church that worships Master Tianyuan, this newly emerging organization has been recognized and responded to by Master Tianyuan, so they want to have a competitive meeting with us with faith first, friendship second, and competition third.
The believers looked at each other in confusion, and someone asked, "So how exactly do we communicate?"
"It's simple. Just follow the rules we've set." The microphone was now in Ieiri Naoko's hands. She pulled out a fake cigarette butt and a real candy stick from her mouth and said, "Each side will select five players to take turns taking the stage for a 1v1 battle. The loser will be eliminated, and the winner will hold the stage. The ring master who holds on till the end wins."
Ieiri Shoko recited at lightning speed: "Those who defeat the arena master with their own abilities will receive gym badges as proof of victory, and only by collecting all the badges can they challenge the league. Come on, Pokémon Masters! Fighting!"
Panxing taught everyone:?
Geto Suguru:?
System: "...you forgot to change the ending when you copied and pasted the rules, assholes!!!"
"Why is it a Pokémon battle?! What the hell does this have to do with faith in Gurren Lama?" The system realized something. "Wait, is the [Gurren Lama Gaming Club] really serious about playing games?!"
"That's not the point."
A man named Gojo Satoru, who was over 180cm tall, wearing a tightly wrapped bunny girl uniform and flowery sunglasses, walked out from the side door and seriously looked up at the sign-holder in the boxing match.
He blew a kiss, held up the round number sign, and walked around the stage, saying, "Ready for the first round~"
Geto Xiayou felt like he was going blind and wanted to poke his eyes out, but fortunately his fingers didn't find his eyes.
"That's considered a good thing now. In the original proposal, Gojo specifically requested a bunny girl uniform with a ripped-open stomach..." Ieiri Naoko's eyes were dead, and she calmly put her hands in her pockets. "We rejected it on the grounds that 'visual damage to allies is prohibited.' He was unhappy for half a month."
Xia Youjie's face twitched: "So now... are we really going to have a fight?"
"That's right!" Kanako shouted as she leaned over to the microphone.
"One round will decide the outcome, dear believers! The loser will be swallowed up by the winner today—"
"Let your incredibly weak power of faith see how powerful our faith in the Pokémon Game Fan Club is!" Kanako was extremely excited.
System Crash: "At least you got the organization name right!!!"
【Author’s words】
Yes, what's going to happen next is an incredibly funny Pokémon (crossed out) arena battle. I haven't figured out how to make it funny yet, but I'm laughing subconsciously (?)
I have run out of drafts, so I owe you more. I will make up for it when I finish writing (vomiting blood)
