Chapter 100 Chapter 100 The twists and turns of the exchange competition (I...
“Wow, so many people!”
Gazing at the bustling crowd queuing to enter, Yuji Itadori sighed loudly. Since he was apparently in a "dead state," he wore a sports cap to hide his overly eye-catching pink hair.
For the past few days, he'd been following Gojo's teacher's instructions, holed up in his cramped room, watching horror movies and practicing his cursed energy. Even though Itadori Yuji had always been a cheerful and energetic young man, he couldn't help but feel a little sullen after such a long time. Seeing his beloved student's lack of energy, and then stumbling upon Itadori's interest in the Japan-US Youth Exchange Competition advertised on television, Gojo Satoru spontaneously organized this team-building activity.
"snort."
Nobara Kugisaki snorted coldly, crossed her arms and turned her head away, expressing the meaning of "I'm still angry" and "Don't talk to me". No wonder she was so angry. It was not until she arrived at the scene today that she learned that Yuji Itadori was not dead. While she was happy, she couldn't help but feel that her previous sadness was in vain.
Yuji Itadori touched his head, not knowing how to coax the only female classmate in his grade. It was indeed their fault in this matter. After all, three of the four teachers and students knew that he was not dead, but they hid it from Kugisaki alone. It was really not right. No wonder Kugisaki was angry.
Megumi Fushiguro sighed silently. He was completely innocent in this matter. It was clearly the orders given by Sensei Gojo and Senior Saionji, and he was just following their orders.
"Lucky~ Fortunately, I had the foresight to ask Rin-chan to get the tickets. Otherwise, I would have to use [Aoi] to take you to the beams on the top of the stadium to watch the game, haha."
Gojo Satoru, whom he silently complained about, was unaware of it and spoke happily. Since he had no mission today, he was not wearing his high school uniform, which was unusual for him. Instead, he wore fashionable casual clothes, his usual eye mask was replaced with sunglasses, and his hair was down, which attracted the attention of many young girls around him.
Megumi Fushiguro's gaze fell on Saionji Gyomone who came out specially to greet them. To be honest, it was not just Gojo Sensei, many people were also looking at him because of Saionji-senpai. Add to that the overly lively Itadori, and their group was really conspicuous, which made Megumi Fushiguro feel powerless, thinking, "Are you really keeping the secret of your fake death?"
Tamane had no idea she'd become the target of Megumi Fushiguro's ridicule. After hearing Gojo Satoru's words, she smiled and said, "This exchange tournament was surprisingly popular. The American team alone attracted quite a few fans. Plus, the Japanese team is made up of seeded players from strong local teams in Kanto, so many students from the corresponding schools came to support their own players. As soon as the news of the tournament was released, the front row tickets were practically sold out. If you hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have had to step on the beam, but if I buy a ticket now, I'm sure I'll only be able to sit in the last two rows."
As if to confirm Yuyin's words, the following conversation was heard nearby.
"Xiaolan Xiaolan, hurry up~"
"Sonoko, don't run so fast. The race is still a long time away."
"Ah~ I'm so excited at the thought of meeting the Griffey brothers in person!"
Conan rolled his eyes habitually, wanting to complain whether you were here to watch the game or to chase stars, and then suddenly heard the voice of the person he didn't want to see at the moment -
"Sonoko? Ran?"
"Tamaon-san?" Mao Lilan turned around and saw Tamon, and said in surprise, "You are here to watch the Japan-US exchange competition too."
Tamane explained with a smile, "Keigo is a contestant, I'm here to support him."
"Oh, that's right~" Suzuki Sonoko pounded her fist in sudden realization, "That Atobe guy is also participating."
Sonoko is a member of the women's tennis club of Teitan High School. When her summer vacation just started, she specially hired a college tennis player to serve as her sparring partner in Karuizawa. So when she heard about the Japan-US tennis match, she immediately paid attention to it. She was then fascinated by the good-looking Griffey brothers doubles combination, and excitedly invited Xiaolan to accompany her to watch the game.
Conan is completely a byproduct of the Maori Detective Agency.
But now, Sonoko's attention was obviously captivated by something else.
"Hmm~ Yuyin-chan, did you meet a friend?"
Gojo Satoru leaped out from behind. Although he was wearing sunglasses, his dazzling and sparkling appearance could not be ignored, not to mention that there were two young men with very different temperaments following him, both of whom had extraordinary looks.
Yuanzi couldn't take her eyes off him immediately. After a moment of shock, she excitedly pulled Yuyin over and whispered in her ear: "Yuyin-san, Yuyin-san, who is this friend of yours? They are all so handsome~"
"Uh... this is Gojo Satoru, my senior from the religious school," Yuyin said, stumbling for a moment before finally coming up with a way to get around the senior title. "He's now a teacher at the school, and those three are his students." She then introduced Gojo Satoru and the other three, "Suzuki Sonoko and Maori Ran. They're friends I made while I was away, students at Teitan High School. This is Conan, who's staying at Ran's house."
"Teaching is such a meaningful profession," Suzuki Sonoko said, knowing that Tamane's family owned a shrine and had taken the idea of a religious school well. She immediately changed the subject and praised him, "Gojo-san is clearly a proactive and responsible teacher."
Gojo Satoru stroked his chin, not forgetting to give his student (specifically Megumi Fushiguro) a smug look, and said with a smile: "Haha, Ms. Suzuki really has good taste, I think so too~"
Facts have proved that when Gojo Satoru is well-behaved and not causing trouble, his appearance is still very attractive to little girls. At least at this moment, Suzuki Sonoko completely forgot about the purpose of her visit - the Griffey brothers, and started chatting harmoniously with Gojo Satoru.
The group moved forward with the crowd. When they were about to reach the ticket gate, Fushiguro Megumi held out his hand and said, "Teacher, Kugisaki and I will go first."
Gojo Satoru waved his hand happily and said, "Go ahead, go ahead~ Be careful~"
Yuanzi was puzzled: "Hey, are they going?"
Yuyin smiled and turned around to explain, "Fushiguro and Nobara have signed up to be volunteers at the competition venue, so they won't be entering with us. They're going inside the venue."
Many social activities recruit volunteers. Sonoko nodded in understanding: "I see."
Only Conan stared at the backs of the two people leaving, and after a long time, he turned back to look at Gojo Satoru.
Although Miss Saionji's reasons were reasonable, he just felt that it was not that simple. In fact, after several experiences, Conan had subconsciously doubted the identity of the people who appeared next to Saionji Yuon. What kind of people would appear?
After just this short period of contact, Conan felt that the young man named Gojo Satoru must be no ordinary person. So, could his so-called student be an ordinary person?
Is there any unknown secret hidden behind this tennis exchange tournament?
*
"What a coincidence, Tamane-san, Gojo-san~"
Because of different ticket seats, a group of people originally entered from different entrances. After sitting down, they found that they were in adjacent areas. Yuanzi immediately waved and greeted them loudly.
Tamane didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. In fact, she was the one who asked Atobe for the tickets. Due to the large number of supporters of Hyotei, they directly booked an entire area of seats (the fee was sponsored by Atobe), and then distributed them to the students in the support group who registered to watch the game. The seats in the front row were specially reserved by Atobe. After distributing them to Tamane and other members of the Hyotei tennis club, there were still more than enough seats. So after Tamane asked for two more tickets, Atobe gave them to her with a wave of his hand.
Although Miss Suzuki usually likes to eat at discounted food stores, she is also generous when it comes to spending money. Naturally, she buys seats in the front row with the best view, which unexpectedly leads to a coincidence.
After greeting each other, both sides sat down. There was a small opening ceremony before the official competition began. A super popular girl idol group from the United States participated in the performance, and the atmosphere was very hot. Yuji Itadori leaned on the railing and watched intently, occasionally exclaiming with joy.
"You seem very happy, Yuji. It seems that the teacher made the right move." Gojo Satoru touched his chin and smiled with squinted eyes.
Yuji Itadori touched his head sheepishly: "Hehe, I've never seen it live before. It feels completely different from watching it on TV."
"You'd better be careful, Hisahito-kun," Tamane pointed at the cameras spinning around the venue, recording footage, and handed him a pair of sunglasses from her bag. "The cameras sometimes capture the audience's reactions, and since you're in the front row, you'll be more easily captured. Put these on."
Although those idiots at the top of the Jujutsu Association probably wouldn't watch this kind of show. Ummm, if it was that old man from Rakuganji Temple in Kyoto, who knows...
Yuji Itadori quickly took the sunglasses and put them on, "Oh, sorry, sorry, it was my negligence."
Gojo Satoru waved his hand with a relaxed expression: "Well, whatever. Anyway, the Kyoto sister school exchange meeting will be coming soon, and Hisahito will be able to return to his normal identity soon. It doesn't matter if those rotten oranges know in advance."
"Hey, will I be able to recover soon?" Yuji Itadori said happily, pointing at himself.
Yuyin asked him quietly, "It seems that you are very satisfied with the progress of Hisahito's training?"
"Of course, it doesn't matter who taught me~" Gojo Satoru said proudly, then whispered back, "Speaking of which, what's the inside story of this competition? Can you tell me now?"
Yuyin blinked: "How can you say that, Senior?"
"Your expression is too fake. You're not qualified~" Gojo Satoru shook his finger, pointing out her flaw. "When you first answered my call last night, you were very emotional. Then when you heard I was just bringing Yuhito to the game, your attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. You must have thought of some benefit, right? You didn't mention it before because you were worried that I would know and you wouldn't come?"
"Why not," Yuyin smiled, "I just don't want this little thing to disturb you and Hisahito-kun's fun. It's not a serious matter anyway."
Anyone who ignores Gojo Satoru's wisdom because of his incredible fighting power is a fool. In this regard, Yuyin has never underestimated this senior.
"It doesn't look like it's a cursed spirit issue," Gojo Satoru said firmly. "Indeed, not only did Kei and the others patrolling the stadium find nothing unusual, I also didn't sense any signs of cursed energy surging."
When competitions like this lead to large crowds gathering, it is common practice for the Spell Association to send sorcerers to patrol the area in order to prevent emergencies. However, any activity missions without any curse signs are assigned to students who have not yet graduated from the technical college.
"Look over there."
Yuyin pointed to the front row of another area some distance away from them. As the opening ceremony was about to end, a group of elites in expensive suits took their seats one after another.
"They're the sponsors of this exchange tournament. The outcome will determine their next investment," Yuyin explained directly without further suspense. "Scepter 4 has received word that a criminal gang with psychics from Yokohama has targeted one of their members and is planning a kidnapping and extortion operation. They're likely to strike today."
"It's a psychic..." Gojo Satoru said thoughtfully. Unlike cursed spirits, psychics have very small abnormal energy fluctuations when they don't use their abilities. Even if he has six eyes, he can't identify people from the crowd at a glance without careful observation.
"I see, Yuyin-chan, you should have told me earlier. I'm the type of person who doesn't want to lend a hand, senpai~"
Gojo Satoru patted Yuyin's shoulder heavily and laughed.
Feeling the strength on her shoulders, Yuyin grinned and complained silently in her heart: You are it.
Anyway, he is a person who doesn't want to suffer any loss, so he must get back at his loss.
