“It was clearly…
just last night…”
“Clang—!!!”
A table knife flew past Lin Ye’s ear and embedded itself deeply into the pillar behind him!
The handle was still vibrating with a hum.
Lin Ye shut his mouth.
He raised both hands, signaling surrender.
“I’m eating.”
“I’m shutting up.”
Watching Lin Ye get deflated, Kugisaki didn’t know why, but she felt a bit annoyed.
“Hmph.”
“Scumbag.”
She cursed silently in her heart.
Favorability fluctuation: 72 -> 70 (Jealous?
No, I am not!)
Just then.
The cafeteria doors were pushed open.
A tall, white-haired man wearing a blindfold walked in.
He was carrying a large bag of souvenirs.
“Yo~”
“Everyone’s here!”
“Good morning!
My dear students!”
Satoru Gojo’s energetic voice rang throughout the entire cafeteria.
But everyone seemed used to it and didn’t show much enthusiasm.
Except for Itadori.
“Teacher Gojo!
Morning!”
Satoru Gojo tossed the souvenirs onto the table.
“Come, come, these are Yatsuhashi I bought while on a business trip to Kyoto!”
“They’re super delicious!”
“Kyoto?”
Maki frowned.
“Why did you go to Kyoto?”
“Aren’t those Old Oranges over there the ones who hate you the most?”
Satoru Gojo picked up a piece of Yatsuhashi and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Well, about that…”
“Of course, it was to discuss business.”
Satoru Gojo’s expression suddenly became somewhat mysterious.
“Regarding the upcoming…”
“Kyoto Jujutsu High Exchange Event!”
Hearing this name.
Maki and Panda’s expressions both became serious.
The Exchange Event.
It was the annual grand event between Tokyo Jujutsu High and Kyoto Jujutsu High.
It was also a test of strength between the two schools.
And more importantly…
A stage for the power struggle between the various great families.
“Exchange Event?”
Itadori looked confused.
“What’s that?
Is it edible?”
Fushiguro explained:
“It’s just a competition where students from the two schools battle each other.”
“The winning side can obtain certain privileges or resources.”
“And…”
Fushiguro glanced at Maki. The source of this chapter is g.com.
“This is also a good opportunity to prove our strength to those who look down on us.”
Maki clenched her fists.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
“That’s right.”
“This time, I’m going to beat the faces of that trash from the Zenin Family into a pulp!”
Satoru Gojo clapped his hands.
“Exactly, exactly!
That’s the spirit!”
“But…”
“Before that.”
Satoru Gojo suddenly looked at Lin Ye.
“Student Lin Ye.”
“Although you are very strong, I checked your file…”
“It seems you haven’t been officially graded yet, right?”
Jujutsu Sorcerers have ranks.
From Grade 4 to Special Grade.
The higher the rank, the higher the status, and the more difficult the missions you can take.
Although Lin Ye had displayed super strength, in the official files, he was still an unregistered person.
“Grading?”
Lin Ye took a sip of soy milk.
“Is that kind of thing important?”
“As long as I can kill Cursed Spirits, isn’t that enough?”
Satoru Gojo shook his finger.
“No, no, no.”
“It’s very important.”
“If you don’t have a rank, you can’t take high-level missions.”
“If you can’t take high-level missions, there’s no high bonus.”
“No bonus…”
Satoru Gojo pointed at the soy milk in Lin Ye’s hand.
“You’ll only be able to drink this one-dollar cup of soy milk.”
“Do you want to drink soy milk for the rest of your life?”
Lin Ye: “…”
Although I have the system black card, I can’t say that.
This reason is indeed very powerful.
“Fine.”
“Then how do I get graded?”
“Fight?”
“Fight who?
You?”
Satoru Gojo chuckled.
“You’re a hundred years too early to fight me.”
“A grading mission has already been arranged for you.”
Satoru Gojo pulled a file out of his pocket and slapped it on the table.
“On the outskirts of Tokyo, a juvenile reformatory.”
“A reaction suspected to be a ‘Special Grade Cursed Womb’ has recently appeared there.”
“Although the Window (the detection agency) says it’s suspected, I feel…”
“It should be real.”
Hearing the words “Special Grade Cursed Womb”.
Itadori, Fushiguro, and Kugisaki’s expressions all changed.
Wasn’t that the kind of monster they just encountered yesterday?
How did another one appear?!
Is this a wholesale specialty?!
“Teacher Gojo!”
Fushiguro stood up.
“If it’s a Special Grade, it’s too dangerous to send first-years!”
“If it weren’t for Lin Ye yesterday…”
“Don’t worry.”
“This time, I’m not sending you to your deaths.”
“This is a solo mission.”
Satoru Gojo looked at Lin Ye.
“Lin Ye.”
“This is a designated mission.”
“Those Old Oranges up top seem very curious about you.”
“They want to see if you really are as amazing as the report says.”
“So…”
“You have to go on this mission alone.”
“And…”
Satoru Gojo lowered his voice so only Lin Ye could hear.
“If you don’t want to be bothered by those old geezers.”
“You must do this mission beautifully.”
“Preferably…”
“Scare them to death.”
Lin Ye picked up the file on the table.
He took a look.
[Mission Location: Eishu Juvenile Reformatory.]
[Objective: Confirm survivors, exorcise the Cursed Spirit.]
[Estimated Rank: Special Grade.]
Lin Ye smiled.
He laughed wildly.
“Special Grade?”
“Just what I wanted.”
“I was just worrying about where to farm points.”
He stood up, rolled the file into a tube, and tapped it against his palm.
“I’ll take this mission.”
“However…”
Lin Ye glanced at Maki beside him.
“I have a condition.”
Satoru Gojo: “Speak.”
“I need an assistant.”
“To carry my bags.”
“She’ll do.”
Lin Ye pointed at Maki.
Maki: “Huh?!”
“You want me to carry your bags?!”
“Do you want to die?!”
Lin Ye ignored Maki’s fury and winked at her.
“What?
Senior, are you afraid to go?”
“Scared?”
“If you’re scared, forget it, I can go by myself.”
“After all, it’s a Special Grade, people die.”
Provocation.
It was provocation again.
Although cliché, for someone as competitive as Maki, it worked every time.
“Scared?!”
Maki stood up abruptly and kicked the chair over.
“The word’scared’ doesn’t exist in my dictionary!”
“Fine, I’ll go!”
“But let’s get this straight!
If you dare to order me around to do chores…”
“I’ll twist your head off and kick it like a ball!”
Lin Ye snapped his fingers.
“Deal.”
