Chapter 60
Faced with Kazuma Hatake, who didn't get angry at being called "super dense" but instead showed a clear smile, the white-haired boy smugly threw a look at the girl next to him, the gist of which was, "See, I told you so! I'm a perfect judge of people!"
Before the girl with shoulder-length brown hair could respond again, Masamichi Yagami spoke up first to stop the two from continuing to comment on Kazuma Hatori.
"Alright, this person's name is Kazuma Hatake, and he's neither [super dull] nor [a bit gloomy]."
As Masamichi Yagami wrote "[Hatori Kazuma]" on the blackboard, he turned around to continue speaking when he realized someone was missing.
"You guys introduce yourselves and get to know each other... Hmm, where's the last person?"
"Hello, I am Ieiri Glass."
The brown-haired girl raised her hand listlessly, looking completely unmotivated.
"Gojo Satoru——"
In contrast, when the white-haired boy raised one hand high, he still kept the other hand supporting his chin. Even when he said his name, his tone was lazy, as if he wanted to lie in the sunlight outside the window and take a nap rather than sit here to attend class.
“Jay went to the bathroom and will be back soon—here he is.”
At this moment, Gojo Satoru was not yet 16 years old. His figure was much thinner than the handsome Daigo that Hato Kazuma had seen. His still-growing appearance made his movements look even more agile, and his undisguised emotions also revealed a youthful liveliness and spirit, like an agile young leopard that had just learned to run in the mountains and forests.
This is a gem that has not yet been worn down by years of pressure, and it still shines brightly. When held up to the sun, it reflects an extremely clear and sparkling light, like the summer sky reflected on the surface of a lake.
Kazuma Hatori was genuinely glad that he had started a second playthrough.
He didn't even bother to turn and glance at the other classmate who was walking back from the classroom door, until the other person spoke—
"Excuse me, I went to the restroom. Ms. Moth, is this the new student you picked up?"
Kazuma Hatake: "…………"
Kazuma Hatori: "?!"
That familiar voice.
That familiar enunciation and pronunciation.
When he turned his gaze, he unsurprisingly saw a boy with a single black fringe hanging down to one side and wearing an earring—the only difference being that his long black hair was tied into a bun.
Even his appearance was almost identical to the one he had seen back then.
At that moment, the other person was still politely introducing himself to him.
"Hello, my name is Xia You, Xia Youjie."
Kazuma Hatori remained silent.
Even the same name? Is this the villainous boss who will wear a strange robe in the future, and who will most likely perish together with him?
Thinking about it, it's indeed possible. He was able to infiltrate the college as the "Holy Son of the Panxing Cult" and have people looking out for him from within. So, it wouldn't be uncommon for a fellow student to turn out to be the mastermind behind all the conspiracies in the future.
Tsk... Can we kill him now?
Kazuma Hatori had been itching to try it for a while, but ultimately decided to give up with regret.
First of all, he is only at level four, so it can be basically concluded that he cannot beat the opponent.
Secondly, the other person's name is already displayed in the [Social] interface, with only the words [Xia Youjie], without any mention of being deceased or a question mark.
In other words, the Xia Youjie he has seen so far may not be the complete villainous BOSS of the future.
Yuqu Kazuma scrutinized Xia Youjie intently until the latter felt a little uneasy under his gaze, at which point he suddenly realized what was going on.
He said that it looked like something was missing... the suture line that ran across his forehead.
Why are you staring at Jay all the time?
Kazuma Hatake's train of thought was interrupted by Satoru Gojo's confused voice—but before he could come up with a suitable reason, he heard the other party speak enthusiastically.
"Hey, don't you also think Jay's bangs are weird and his uniform is strange? I can assure you, he didn't just go astray after entering junior college! I don't know where this guy got his inspiration from, but he managed to come up with this weird visual kei that's both punk and delinquent."
"...I'm not a punk, nor a delinquent, nor a weird visual kei."
Xia Youjie couldn't allow Wutiao Wu to define his aesthetic style so casually, "This is what I've been doing since three years ago..."
"Ugh—"
Xia Youjie was about to elaborate on his design concepts for the hairstyle and the college uniform when he was interrupted by Wu Tiaowu's drawn-out interjection, followed by his grumbling complaints.
"Starting from three years ago? Your story is going to be this long? I don't want to hear it—"
The phrase "I don't want to hear it" sounds a bit soft and weak when the last syllable is drawn out. It's more like a spoiled, coquettish plea than a firm refusal.
Xia Youjie: "…………"
The fist is getting a bit hard.
Fortunately, Principal Moth helped maintain order in the class, preventing the three classmates who had only known each other for a short time from wreaking havoc on the classroom.
Why three? Because if Natsumi really fights Gojo Satoru, Hato Kazuma will immediately join Gojo Satoru's side, creating a two-against-one situation.
One-on-one? What one-on-one? A fight that can be resolved by a group brawl, why insist on a one-on-one fight?
"Everyone, please pay attention to classroom discipline. I'm still standing here."
Seeing the atmosphere suddenly becoming tense, Masamichi Nocturne felt exhausted and waved it back down.
"Jay, sit back down first."
"And Wu, don't speak yet."
"Yizhen, your uniform will be delivered in the next couple of days. Is there anything you'd like to change? We allow students to redesign elements of their uniforms within certain limits."
Masamichi Yagami had already arranged an empty desk for him, and before letting Kazuma Hatori sit back down, he wanted to ask for his opinion on the high school uniform.
This is why both Natsumi Yuki and Gojo Satoru wear men's uniforms, but the styles are completely different.
Seeing that Kazuma Hagoromo had glanced at Satoru Gojo several times, Masamichi Yagami took the initiative to speak.
"He didn't add any changes; it's the most basic original men's uniform style."
"Me too, I don't have anything I want to add."
Kazuma Hatake replied immediately.
"Okay, then go and sit down in an empty seat."
Masamichi Yagami pointed to the right of Satoru Gojo, where a new empty table and chair had been placed, reserved for Kazuma Hagoromo.
Not only were there few students at the Jujutsu High School ten years later, but there were also very few freshmen when Gojo Satoru entered the school. Even if you include Hagoromo Kazuma, there were only four people.
The current positions, from left to right, are Ieiri Shoko, Natsuyu Suguru, Gojo Satoru, and Hato Kazuma.
When Kazuma Hatake sat down in his empty seat, Satoru Gojo turned around, lifted his sunglasses by one hand, revealing his round, slightly upturned blue eyes, and winked at him like a cat, looking exceptionally cunning and mischievous.
His movements and expressions were exactly the same as his 11 years later.
Hagoromo Kazuma maintained a very restrained expression, only giving a flat nod in return, but in his heart, a bright and joyful feeling welled up for him.
It turns out that even after being repeatedly worn down by countless pressures for more than a decade, Gojo Satoru was still just Gojo Satoru, and he never changed.
"Now that all the first-year students have arrived, we will begin arranging practical courses next week."
Night Moth stood on the podium, his expression serious—it was called a [practical course], but it was no less dangerous, and the students needed to actually exorcise the cursed spirits.
In previous years, some students have died in missions for various reasons, which is not uncommon.
“Jay, you’re grouped with Shoko, who can reverse spells, so you don’t have to worry too much about your safety—but you still need to be careful. I believe you’re not impulsive, but there are many kinds of cursed spirits. Even the same type of cursed spirit you’ve seen before may not have the same attack methods.”
"Yes, Teacher Moth."
Seeing that Natsume Yuki and Ieyasu had agreed, Masamichi Yagami turned his gaze to Gojo Satoru and Hatori Kazuma.
"Wu, you already have a wealth of experience in exorcising cursed spirits before you even entered the school. When you're in the same group as Yizhen, you can guide him through the process of exorcising cursed spirits."
Okay.
Gojo Satoru casually agreed, showing no nervousness whatsoever about exorcising the cursed spirit.
Kazuma Hatake: "…………"
It was only at this moment that Kazuma Hatake belatedly realized what had happened.
This time around, there's no more Daigo taking him on a rocket-like leveling ride!
"Has the task been decided yet?"
"[The haunted studio incident],"
The moth is the right path.
"At that time, you will need to investigate the truth of the matter yourselves. If there is a cursed spirit, exorcise it."
