Chapter 105 The Second Player

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru didn't actually mean to come so... late.

First of all, the Jujutsu High School's regular schedule is not very free. In addition to various classes, they also have to go on missions everywhere. Secondly, the two of them don't want others - especially Glass and Night Moth - to know. They promised to give them a "surprise", so of course they have to do it quietly without them knowing!

It's okay for Teacher Yemo, but Glass often goes on missions with them...so if they want to hide it from her, it will still take some effort and time.

——Then there is the problem of Saikai Haruto himself.

Neither Gojo Satoru nor Geto Suguru thought that this guy would be so hard to find! !

They didn't communicate much with Saikai Haruto, they only knew that he worked part-time in a dessert shop, and originally the two thought it would be easy to find him.

Unexpectedly, when the store manager saw them, he said warily, "Yuuki Igarashi is not here." The look in his eyes as if he was looking at them as "delinquent students who want to corrupt and bully the good students" was really depressing.

Then the two of them took a lot of effort to convince the store manager that they "really weren't bad people" and learned from the store manager which school he attended, and only then did they successfully find this place.

...But even if we successfully find De Ming High School, it will not be easy to find him.

This is the second time that Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru have entered De Ming High School.

But the last time they came, they still couldn't find where Saikai Haruto's class was. They just asked someone randomly for the name "Igarashi Yuuki" and learned from passers-by that he left school as soon as the school bell rang to work part-time. After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find him...

This time, the two of them simply learned their lesson and secretly skipped half of their high school classes to come to him a little earlier - by the way, Gojo Satoru even "sold his beauty" to ask several female students on the way to successfully find this place, otherwise they might not be willing to bring him and Geto to see him...

"I didn't expect you, Igarashi, to be so popular. You're almost as popular as me." Gojo Satoru sighed.

However, this time when they met, both Gojo Satoru and Kagome noticed that the boy with black hair, green eyes, wearing a white shirt and black uniform pants looked much colder than the last time they met.

The boy blinked his lush, translucent green eyes, his expression calm, though he looked a little confused: "Eh? Gojo-kun and Geto-kun... are you guys here to see me? What's the matter?"

The attitude was neither happy nor angry and resistant, but more like - simple confusion and surprise.

...No, to be honest, his attitude when we parted last time was actually a little too nice? His attitude now seemed to have returned to the cold and gentle attitude he had when he met them in the dessert shop before - treating ordinary strangers who he had only met once or twice with rationality, gentleness and distance.

"You're so cold, Yuuki. Are you really so cruel? You were so warm and enthusiastic the last time we met."

Gojo Satoru smiled and didn't seem to care at all about his change in attitude.

"Sorry, Igarashi, Satoru is not very talkative sometimes. When that happens, just ignore him."

Xia Yujie smiled, his expression sincere and apologetic: "Igarashi, you should be done with school, right? Sorry, can Wu and I keep you for a while?"

"Is it inconvenient to talk here? If it's just for a while... it's still possible, but the time can't be as long as last time."

The boy hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, as if he had thought of something, and his expression showed a flash of realization. He stood up from his desk and packed his schoolbag: "Please wait for me, we can talk while we walk."

Kagome Kei and Gojo Satoru looked at each other tacitly.

Originally, they hadn't thought about it that much, and planned to tell him their purpose directly when they met him. But along the way, it seemed that he was very popular in the school... If they told everyone so bluntly that they wanted to "persuade Igarashi to transfer", then they would definitely be surrounded by other ordinary students, right?

Some other students who had not left the classroom looked at each other in bewilderment. Ishikawa, who was also sitting next to him, touched Saikai Haruto's arm again and whispered in his ear, "Igarashi, are these two your friends?"

"Ah, not really." Xi Haiqing Dou replied quietly, "Probably... a kind boss I know and his friend?"

"But don't worry, Ishikawa-san. They are not bad people. They are not necessarily dangerous. You can rest assured about that."

…Although they spoke in a low voice, the volume of their voices sounded no different from loud voices to the ears of the two “magicians” Gojo Satoru and Kagome Geto.

This time, even Xia Yujie's eyes flashed with surprise and astonishment.

It’s true that “someone you’ve only met once” should be a stranger to anyone...but this is Yuuki Igarashi. The first impression he gave to Geto Suguru was that he was the kind of cheerful, outgoing and lively person who “can make friends with anyone he’s only met once” - to be honest, the “label” he initially gave him was more like “overly enthusiastic to the point of being a little distressing”...who would have thought that this was actually the impression and positioning of the two of them in his heart?

...Oh, my new classmate in the future is also a very interesting person.

Xia Yujie smiled.

Saikai Haruto simply packed up his books and exercises, slung his schoolbag over his shoulder, and looked at Gojo Satoru and Kagome Geto: "I'm done."

Without even turning his head, he waved to Ishikawa who was still in the classroom, turned around and walked out of the classroom. After walking a short distance, he asked, "Why did Gojo-kun and Getsu-kun come to see me? Can I tell you now? No one should be able to hear it."

Gojo Satoru and Kagome Geto looked at each other.

—Jay, do you want to talk or should I?

——Wu, you go and tell it.

——Hey, why don’t you say anything, Jay?

——It’s my problem… I’ll leave it to you this time, Satoru.

——Jay, are you...

--……Um?

——After spending so much time with Hanayamain Haruna and Nozomi, have you become a girl too, Jay?

The corner of Xia Yujie's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt like an idiot for being inexplicably nervous just now.

Gojo Satoru had already put away the solemn expression on his face, looked away, and naturally put his hand on Saikai Haruto's shoulder, and said in a lively and natural tone: "So, Yuuki, have you ever thought about transferring to another school?"

"Eh? Transferring schools? Why?" Xi Haiqing Dou paused, looking surprised, as if he had never thought about this question.

He was doing well in his studies at De Ming College, why did he want to transfer?

Gojo Satoru's expression was as matter of course: "But now you already know that you are different from other ordinary people, right? Although you are now in the state of 'half human, half cursed spirit', the cursed power and spells you can use also come from the cursed spirit in your body, but if we don't say it and you don't say it, other people won't know it. They will only think you are a sorcerer - just like me and Jie."

"The Jujutsu High School is a school that trains people with cursed powers and provides education on how to use cursed powers. If you don't go to the Jujutsu High School, do you want to continue staying in a school for ordinary people?"

"Well...why not?"

Saikai Haruto asked in confusion, "Can't I continue to study in a normal school? But, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"Well, Gojo-kun, you may have misunderstood me." He raised his hand, his eyes sincere and frank: "I actually don't plan to become a sorcerer in the future, okay?"

Xia Yujie smiled bitterly in his heart.

Compared to Gojo Satoru, who has always lived in the Gojo family and the world of curse and has never attended school in the outside world, he is probably able to understand the reason for his confusion as an "ordinary person" who, like Saikai Haruto, has been living and going to school in the world of ordinary people in an orderly manner before coming to the Jujutsu High School.

After walking all the way with Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru probably has some idea of ​​what kind of image Saikai Haruto is like in school: good grades, good personality, good looks, popular, and good relationships with teachers and classmates... No matter from which aspect, he is a nearly perfect "good student".

De Ming High School itself is also a good school with a deviation value of 68. It can be said that if he had nothing to do with sorcerers and the sorcery world, his future would most likely be in a good school like the University of Tokyo and Keio University - a bright and promising future is foreseeable at a glance.

No matter how you look at it, the idea of ​​a future Tokyo University student who has always been an ordinary person giving up a nationally ranked top school that can be obtained with just hard work and transferring to a little-known "jutsu high school" is a fantasy and will be easily rejected by others, right? No matter how you think about it, no one would agree to it so easily, right?

Not everyone is like him - having been influenced by the curses and cursed spirits that they can see since childhood, they can nod in agreement so quickly - no, even for him, his parents had to be persuaded by him for a long time before they finally nodded in agreement reluctantly.

It was precisely because of this that he suddenly became so hesitant just now...he always felt like he couldn't say it.

Gojo had never been to school properly. The only time he ran away from home was to attend the Jujutsu High School in Tokyo. Before that, he had studied in the Gojo family. Wu Ze had never thought about these things.

In his opinion, most of the schools outside are no different, and are almost the same as the Jujutsu High School - one is a school for sorcerers, some are schools for ordinary people, except that ordinary people's schools are also divided into good and bad schools - but these "good schools" and "bad schools", to him, there is nothing special or unique about them.

But for him, the sorcerer's school is of course more interesting.

"Eh? Why?"

Now it was Gojo Satoru's turn to be stunned. His expression was one of genuine confusion, as if he couldn't understand why Saikai Haruto would react like this. He asked again, "But you already know that you are definitely not an ordinary person, right?"
