Chapter 109 The Second Player
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru met Saikai Haruto again at the foot of Mt. Yan in front of the Jujutsu High School.
The place where the Jujutsu High School is located in Tokyo can be described as a deep mountain "outskirts". If you go further up, you will reach the inner barrier of the Jujutsu High School, and no one with unqualified levels of cursed power is allowed to enter at will.
Although Saikai Haruto can prevent the cursed energy in his body from leaking out at all, making him like a "transparent man" with no cursed energy within the barrier - this is due to the inherent property of his body that "does not contain any cursed energy", as well as the "fusion" property of the "greedy creature".
But he was here to "go to school" after all, so it was better for him to be polite.
...Of course, there is another reason, which is that taxis can only park here at most.
A yellow, half-new taxi was parked at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. A baby-faced boy with black hair and green eyes, wearing a white shirt, was bending over with a faint smile on his face, as if he was chatting with the taxi driver. When he turned his head inadvertently and saw them, his eyes brightened up instantly. He turned around and waved to the two of them happily, revealing a black umbrella hidden on the other side of his body.
When Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru gradually approached him, they heard Saikai Haruto talking to the driver: "... Yeah, don't worry, I didn't lie to you, I will pay!"
"Classmate Getsuyu and classmate Satoru, you've arrived at the right time! Here!" He turned around and waved to them enthusiastically.
Gojo Satoru put one hand in his pocket and strode forward: "Hello again, Yuuki! Have you been waiting for a long time? Sorry, because Jie has been dawdling——"
"Obviously it's because Wu wasn't paying attention. Sorry, this place isn't easy to find. Would you like some water?"
Xia Yujie passed the mineral water in his hand over.
"Thank you, Geto-san." Xi Haiqing Dou didn't hesitate to take the water, opened the bottle cap and poured it down.
Gojo Satoru glanced at Geto and complained in a long tone: "Wow, you are so cunning, Geto——"
No wonder he had to dilly-dally to get water before he came just now!
He took a step forward and casually put his hand over Xi Haiqing Dou's shoulder. He then looked at the taxi and the driver who had not moved for a long time, curiously: "What happened?"
"Well, that's actually the case."
Saikai Haruto gave him a big smile, not quite feeling embarrassed. "The reason is a bit complicated... But anyway, I don't have enough money on me to pay for the bus fare, so I can only stop here... Do you have money on you, Takeru or Satoru? Of course, I will remember to pay you back next time!"
He opened his wallet frankly - it was empty, with only a few 100-yen and 500-yen coins left.
"Huh?! That's too much."
I haven't seen him for a long time. What happened to him? Did he suddenly become a pauper?
Gojo Satoru was shocked and suddenly suspicious: "I say, Yuuki, you didn't really agree to come here just to make money, did you?"
Didn't you say that you were moved by his charisma?
"Ah, how come?"
Saikai Haruto said righteously, "I thought about it carefully. Of course I still want to exorcise the cursed spirits and help others! The money is just a small reward after work!"
Xia Yujie's mouth twitched, and he was a little worried: "Igarashi, are you really okay? You don't have to force yourself."
Xi Haiqingdou shook his head: "Grandma, you misunderstood. How can this be called forced? I thought about it. I have some misunderstandings about myself, Jujutsu High School, and you all... But don't worry, the misunderstandings have been resolved now! I think your school and I are a perfect match! Don't worry, Grandma, I am very clear about the decisions I made, and I will never regret my decisions."
Xia Yujie was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he met his eyes - in that lush and vibrant green, there was a firm and clear look, as if it was filled with light under the sun, and it was particularly transparent and calm. It was like after clarifying something, he would no longer be confused by anything, but would firmly choose and continue to move forward with calmness, composure and determination.
As he said, no one could tell from his eyes that "the decision he made was rash, unthinking, and ignorant and fearless."
...Kazuto Suguru suddenly felt that perhaps he really didn't know much about Igarashi Yuuki before.
Is it true that Wu will win this bet?
"Hey, Jie, Yuki, are we leaving?" Gojo Satoru waved to them in a good mood.
"Mr. Noctua and Nitro must be impatient!"
"I think the one who can't wait is obviously Wu yourself."
Xia Yujie followed him while complaining.
But...ah, it was indeed very funny to think of the confused expression on Mr. Nightmoth's face when he heard that the two of them had helped him bring back another new student before they came over.
Xia Yujie raised the corners of his mouth.
The three of them entered the barrier of the Jujutsu High School happily and enthusiastically.
However, in a classroom at the Jujutsu High School, Yaga Masamichi was in a bad mood.
Of course, as the homeroom teacher of the first grade of Curse High School, Ye Mo Zheng Dao has been in a bad mood for the past few months since the beginning of this semester.
Of course, most of the reasons are due to Gojo Satoru and Kasugano Kei.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School, full name "Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School", is one of only two schools in the country that specializes in training sorcerers. Because sorcerers are rare and hard to find, the number of students in each class is very small. This year, there were originally three students - Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko, which was already considered a lot.
Moreover, the quality of students this year is surprisingly high: there is Gojo Satoru, who comes from one of the three great families in the world of curse, and possesses both the "Six Eyes" and the "Unlimited Technique". There is also Geto Suguru, who possesses the "Curse Spirit Control Technique" and can subdue curse spirits, and Ieiri Shoko, who has the "Reversal Technique" and can output "healing" techniques... Each of them has a rare and precious technique in the world of curse.
As a class teacher, Ye Mo Zheng Dao should have been happy to meet such "high-quality" students... until he found that these students were more rebellious and disruptive than each other, more troublesome and irritating than each other, and Ye Mo Zheng Dao's blood pressure never went down again.
Ieiri Naoko is the better one, she can listen to what people say, but she is also good at smoking and drinking, and sometimes she will join the other two in making trouble; Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru are almost always in trouble - a good training session turns into a fight, some of the equipment in the school is renovated almost every week; they go on missions to exorcise cursed spirits and intimidate clients; they get rid of the assistant supervisors who followed them...the two of them have done every one of these things.
This time, he was even more ridiculous - he suddenly jumped out and asked him, "I found a new sorcerer student for him, are you surprised?" He also said that the student was already outside the school...
Thinking about the "special" thing about that student - "Heaven and Curse Bond" plus the special situation of "fusion" with the curse spirit, it is much more troublesome than Gojo Satoru. Yega Zhengdao has a headache again.
Is the recruitment of Jujutsu High School such a simple and ridiculous matter? Yega Zhengdao's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he just wanted to slap those two little bastards.
"Teacher, Mr. Nightmoth~ We are back! Where are you, Mr. Nightmoth?"
I was still thinking about how to deal with this matter when the loud and excited voices of those two little bastards came from outside the door, and they were getting closer and closer.
Ye Mo Zheng Dao could no longer bear it and opened the door. He tightened his expression and said sternly, "Everyone, be quiet!"
"oh."
The three students outside the door, plus a strange boy, immediately put on an obedient look and responded in unison.
Joining the team halfway, the confused Ieiri Naoko looked back and forth between Yaga Masamichi and Saikai Haruto, poked Kaguru Kei's arm, and whispered, "Hey, Kaguru, what's going on? What did you two do behind my back again?"
Suddenly, he disappeared during training, and when he reappeared, he was walking with a strange boy, and the three of them looked very familiar with each other... What was going on?
"This is the situation you see. Jie and I found a new classmate for us! What do you think, Glass? Are you surprised or not?"
Gojo Satoru came forward and answered in a low voice without any tact, with a look that clearly said "come on, compliment me" written all over his face.
Ieiri Naoko rolled her eyes speechlessly and pushed his big face away: "Not at all - what the hell are you doing? You almost scared me."
...But apart from anything else, the new classmate seemed much more polite and pleasing to the eye than the two next to her.
This is what Student Nozomi thought after receiving Saikai Haruto's polite and bright smile.
“Ahem.”
Ye Mo Zheng Dao walked in front and cleared his throat twice as a tactical move, his eyes first glanced at Gojo Satoru and the others - don't think he didn't hear them, they were still chatting quietly downstairs at this moment!
He frowned. "Have you three finished your training? What are you doing here?"
"Hey - don't be so strict, teacher. It's okay to miss a training session once in a while, right? Can't we just watch?" Gojo Satoru poked his head out.
"Don't think you can get rid of my training like this, just go back to your classes."
Ye Mo Zhengdao straightened his face and without hesitation closed the door again, leaving the three people locked outside looking at each other in bewilderment.
Yega Masamichi and Xihai Qingdou were the only two people left in the empty room. The burly, serious-looking middle-aged man did not rush to speak, but instead fixed his sharp eyes on Xihai Qingdou, scanning him as if he wanted to see through him.
"Hello, teacher!"
Xihai Qingdou blinked, stood still obediently, without changing his expression. He did not show the slightest sign of panic under such a gaze, and looked like a good and obedient student no matter how you looked at him.
There was a glimmer of satisfaction in Ye Mo Zheng Dao's eyes.
Putting aside other things, at least his character seems to be good... and he doesn't look as rebellious as Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru?
...I don't know how Gojo Satoru and Geto Gotsuki both found people. Did they look at their faces? Yega Masamichi's thoughts diverged for a moment. He had to say that the "new student" was indeed very good-looking. Compared with the other two, he was not inferior in appearance, temperament, and momentum. He also knew that the two guys sometimes liked to "look at faces". Could it be that they found this "new student" because of his face?
Ye Mo Zheng Dao coughed again.
"The guy that Wu and Jie mentioned who wants to join the high school, is that you?"
He stared at Xi Haiqingdou and asked seriously, "Why do you want to join the high school?"
"Wrong teacher!" Gojo Satoru suddenly opened the door outside the room and corrected him loudly: "Jay and I tricked the new student here!"
His tone sounded as if he was very proud.
"Gojo Satoru! Go back and train, stop making trouble! Have you finished your training? If you eavesdrop again, I'll make you write a 3,000-word self-criticism. Same thing for Geto."
Yeyao Zhengdao's forehead veins popped out and he threw a stuffed toy in front of the table without hesitation.
How could this annoying student always cause him so much trouble?
The teddy bear drew an arc in the air and smashed directly on Gojo Satoru's head. The white-haired boy immediately covered his head and cried out, "It hurts, teacher! If you continue to be so violent, you will scare the new students, right?"
Xia Yujie looked innocent: "Teacher, it has nothing to do with me. It was Wu who insisted on eavesdropping."
——As for Ieiri Shoko, she ran away quickly alone after Gojo Satoru spoke.
"Three thousand words, due on Monday, and another six thousand words if you quibble and mess around." Ye Mo Zheng Dao said without hesitation, "Close the door for me."
...What a serious, responsible, strict and scary teacher.
Xi Haiqing Dou looked at Ye Ga Masamichi in shock - the punishment was to write a self-criticism! Isn't this too scary?
When Yega Zhengdao looked at him again, he immediately straightened his back and answered honestly and seriously: "Well... although I really want to say that I came here out of the idea of 'wanting to help others and learn how to exorcise cursed spirits', but I think you probably won't believe it, teacher?"
The corner of Yega Zhengmichi's mouth twitched slightly - OK, just with this sentence, he could probably be sure that the guy in front of him was most likely also a guy who was seriously inconsistent with his appearance. Maybe in the future he would be like Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, and would not be a real "good and obedient student".
...He just knew it.
