Chapter 27, Chapter 8: In Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Supreme!
Gojo Satoru was somewhat dissatisfied with the demands made by Oriyuki Karin, especially since she made it seem as if all those things were his fault.
Zhi Xueya Karin simply used reverse psychology: "Are you afraid to agree?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Gojo Satoru readily fell into the trap.
Zhi Xueya Huali decisively concluded: "Then it's settled. If you go back on your word, you're a little dog."
Gojo Satoru: "...?"
She acted so quickly that it took Gojo Satoru a while to realize—had he been tricked?
"…………"
The strongest one was unwilling to admit that he had been tricked by a little kid. In the end, he raised his chin and snorted, "So what if we made an appointment? It's just a matter of not being overconfident. What's so difficult about that?"
Karin pointed at him and said, "Look! You're so confident now!"
The smile vanished instantly, freezing Gojo Satoru's expression on his face.
But the smiles don't usually disappear; they just shift. Ieiri Shoko and Natsuyuki, standing to the side, were smiling quite happily.
Xia Youjie patted Wutiao Wu on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, I will definitely remind you more often in the future."
He finally had the chance to repay Gojo Satoru for what he had experienced in the past year, and Natsume was very happy.
In the distance, Haibara Yu's energetic voice rang out once again: "Senpai—"
Karin and the trio turned around to look, and sure enough, the two first-year students had arrived.
They came, naturally, to train with Gojo Satoru and the others. Ever since Karin Oriyuki mentioned that Yuu Haibara would die in a mission during his second year, Gojo Satoru and the others have been bringing the first-year students along for every training session, providing them with guidance from their seniors.
Of course, it's also possible that it's not just about teaching...
Karin Origami glanced at Nanami Kento, who was being patted on the shoulder by Gojo Satoru, and expressed her sympathy.
Because Haibara Yuu greatly admired Natsuyuki, and Natsuyuki was happy to teach him, Nanami Kento was forced to be paired with Gojo Satoru.
As for Yuki Ayaka? She doesn't need a match; anyone here can be her teacher.
Hmm... even non-humans can be her teachers, like Xia Youjie's cursed spirit, or the cursed skeleton of the Night Moth Righteous Path.
She would get beaten black and blue every time, and then run to her mother crying for treatment.
Although she herself could reverse the spell, it was different. Besides receiving treatment, finding her mother meant getting a hug. The former healed the body, the latter healed the soul, and Karin felt she desperately needed it.
In addition, Iori Glass was also training with them.
At first, it was just that Karin Ooyuki pestered Shoko Ieiri to train with her. After the first time, there was a second, a third... Now, even if Karin Ooyuki doesn't go to her to be cute, Shoko Ieiri has already tacitly joined in.
Karin Oriyuki wasn't sure whether it was Shoko Ieiri who had awakened, or if she had simply gotten used to it.
Besides training with them, he also goes on missions with Gojo Satoru and Natsume.
It was also Yuki Karin who initially pestered Ieiri Shoko to come with her. She first expressed her desire to go along, and after Gojo Satoru and the others agreed, she came and shook Ieiri Shoko's arm and acted coquettishly.
Because of her tendency to constantly whine and act cute to her mother, Gojo Satoru has now earned the nickname "Cute Acting Monster" throughout the vocational high school.
Karin Oori didn't care how he laughed at her. He was talking about Hiri Iori, what did it have to do with her? So what if Hiri Iori was a mama's boy?
Besides, who does he think this is for?
Shoko Ieiri was completely charmed by her various acts of cuteness and pleading, so she agreed to go on the mission with her, but sometimes she felt a little helpless. After all, although she was just a student, she was also the only healer in the entire jutsu world. Sometimes, when injured patients came to the infirmary, she couldn't leave.
Okiyuki Karin thought this was no big deal.
"Hiri can help Mom!"
Doctors in regular hospitals need to undergo systematic training before they can practice, but doctors in the world of sorcery sometimes only need to master one reversal technique. Yuki Ayaka thought: She could be a doctor too.
And so, an eight-year-old little family doctor joined the clinic.
Shoko Ieiri never imagined that one day, the person who would come to the infirmary to help her with some of the workload would be her eight-year-old son.
Sometimes, when they encounter injured patients covered in blood and gore, Ieiri Shoko will take extra care of Oriyuki Karin, saying that she should handle such cases. After all, regardless of whether the person is her son or not, their age alone suggests that they need her care.
Karin Okiyuki knew that the wound must be extremely gruesome and horrific, but she felt that she was at least two or three years older than Shoko Ieiri. If Shoko Ieiri could do it, she couldn't possibly lose, right?
So she went after making thorough mental preparations for herself.
In the end, he vomited it out, and his little face turned green.
As it turns out, this kind of thing can't be solved simply by being mentally prepared.
When Gojo Satoru found out about this, he made fun of her again.
Karin Origami retorted, somewhat unconvinced: "Go ahead and try if you dare!"
Gojo Satoru scoffed, "Go ahead, I've seen this kind of thing a million times. What's the big deal?"
Zhi Xueya Karin said with a disdainful look: "What use would it be if you went? You don't know how to reverse the spell, you would just be watching the show."
Gojo Satoru: "..."
Xia Youjie: "Pfft."
Gojo Satoru retorted, "It's just a reversal technique, I'll learn it in no time!"
He was telling the truth; he really was just a little short.
Zhi Xueya Karin scoffed, "My mother has been teaching you for over a year, and you're only just starting to learn? You're so stupid!"
Gojo Satoru: "..."
Xia Youjie was still laughing beside him when Wutiao Wu glanced at him and said, "What's so funny? Aren't you just like me?"
Xia Youjie smiled and nodded: "Yes, I admit that I am indeed a bit slow when it comes to reversing spells."
Wu Tiao Wu was speechless after hearing this. He had originally wanted to get Xia Youjie to join his side, but the other party directly surrendered, or rather, admitted defeat.
Seeing his speechless expression, Xia Youjie couldn't resist kicking him while he was down.
He patted Gojo Satoru on the shoulder and reminded him, "Satoru, don't be too confident."
Karin Oriyuki: "Pfft."
Gojo Satoru: "..."
His expression shifted several times, and he finally decided to engage in a war of words with Xia Youjie: "Did you ever think about defecting today?"
He said this through gritted teeth; anyone who didn't know better would think he was furious that the other party hadn't defected.
Perhaps because he had found the best way to retaliate, Xia Youjie just smiled when he heard the question: "No, but I think you're being a little too confident today."
Gojo Satoru: “#&*@……”
After being ridiculed, Gojo Satoru finally snapped. The next day during training, while Oriyuki Karin was still pecking at Natsuyuu, Gojo Satoru unleashed a [Hah] that blew a huge crater into the training ground behind the mountain.
He finally mastered the technique reversal!
The principle of spell reversal is to inject the positive energy generated by the reversal spell into the original spell, which means that he has also learned the reversal spell.
And... when the [Azure] spell is reversed and the [He] spell is reversed, they collide and become... the virtual spell [Zi].
So, just as Xia Youjie and the others were overjoyed that Wutiao Wu had mastered [He] and were about to go up and celebrate with him, Wutiao Wu fired another [Zi], clearing a smooth road between the high school and the training ground on the back mountain.
Xia Youjie's pupils constricted slightly, not from fright, but from shock.
He could sense that Gojo Satoru's strength had increased significantly, even... doubled.
At this moment, Xia Youjie didn't yet feel the fatigue of not being able to keep up with his opponent's strength. He was still that confident young man, believing that even if he was temporarily behind, he would definitely catch up quickly. After all, he and Wujiao Wu had always been like this before, one day you were stronger than me, and the next day I would be stronger than you.
Therefore, Xia Youjie is only happy now, happy that his friend has become stronger.
He approached Gojo Satoru, his tone filled with joy: "Satoru, you've learned the technique reversal?"
This is completely nonsense, but people sometimes say nonsense.
“Yes.” Gojo Satoru’s tone was also somewhat excited. He turned around, his joy mixed with other emotions.
In fact, that emotion was already written on his expression; it was a kind of... divinity that seemed to transcend all living beings.
Karin was a little stunned; it was the first time she had ever seen Satoru Gojo with such an expression. It was only at this moment that she truly understood why this childish brat, who allowed her to change his identity twice but always managed to steal her snacks, was given the title of "Six-Eyed Child."
At that moment, he truly seemed like a god.
Haibara Yu was also taken aback for a moment, but he quickly stopped paying attention to this detail.
"That's great! Congratulations, Gojo-senpai!" He was extremely excited, as if he were the one whose strength had increased.
Even the usually taciturn Nanami Kento spoke up, saying, "Congratulations."
Shoko Ieiri smiled and said, "Congratulations on graduating from the Ieiri teaching class."
Neither she nor Xia Youjie found Gotiao Wu's current state strange, because Gotiao Wu had been like this when he first started college. This feeling only faded after he got to know them better.
As for now—they'd rather call it being "overwhelmed."
Forget it, considering he just gained an improvement in strength, I won't hold it against him.
Xia Youjie smiled and asked Wutiao Wu, "How are you feeling?"
Gojo Satoru looked at Natsumi Yuuki and slowly said, "I feel like I'm..."
Karin, who was still in a daze, was instantly snapped out of her daze by that familiar opening, and the next second she immediately started speaking—
"Above and below the heavens, I alone am supreme!"
The boy's clear and loud voice interrupted Gojo Satoru's words.
Everyone was drawn to his voice, their expressions puzzled, wondering why he suddenly uttered such a seemingly childish statement.
Despite her mischievousness, Karin Oriyuki's smile appeared quite innocent. Pointing at Satoru Gojo, she said, "I bet that's what he was about to say."
Everyone looked at Gojo Satoru again and saw that he looked frustrated, as if he wanted to say something but was stopped.
Xia Youjie and Jia Rugao, the two best friends, burst out laughing.
Xia Youjie even pretended to be considerate and said, "It's okay, you can say it again."
Shoko Ieiri also offered a particularly heartwarming suggestion: "We can pretend that what just happened never occurred."
Gojo Satoru's lips twitched. Just a moment ago he thought he was the supreme being, but now he felt like a monkey. His sense of divinity shattered completely.
After glancing at the culprit, Karin Oriyuki, Karin Oriyuki earnestly assured him, "Don't worry, Uncle Gojo, I definitely won't steal your lines this time."
Gojo Satoru: "..."
-----------------------
Author's Note: Just a little something. If you've read my other works before, you might have noticed that I always add the pronunciation to the main characters' names, but this time I didn't. That's because both "Aka-ri" and "Hi-ri" can be pronounced "akari".
This was something I secretly arranged myself, mainly to show that these characters are actually all Akari, and the protagonist's alternate names are all like that. The reason I didn't show the pronunciation is to downplay the fact that every character is Akari.
In other words—from the perspective of the characters in the story, and even from Akari's own perspective, these names are completely unrelated. So please stop asking if the characters find it strange that they all have the same name!
