Chapter 127 – Visit to the Technical College
No, there didn’t seem to be anything particularly shocking about this.
Hachiman Hikigaya slowly came to his senses.
After all, these two had already been living together in a sense for a long time, and their degree of closeness even transcended that of living together.
After all, they had previously shared one body, including things like using the restroom and taking baths…
No, stop, Hachiman, you can’t keep thinking about this—this is an area you cannot step into.
Hachigan Hikigaya timely stopped his thoughts which were veering towards an abyss, keeping his facial expressions under good control so that no one would notice anything amiss.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Lin Qi, without any intention of continuing chit-chat at the station, beckoned everyone inside the station.
“By the way, where are we going, Senior Ijichi?” Komachi asked curiously.
Every time she called him “Senior Ijichi,” one arrow pierced right through Hachiman’s heart.
“We’re going to Tokyo, the Jujutsu Technical College.”
Lin Qi gave a mysterious smile.
Looking at his smile, an ominous feeling immediately welled up in Hachiman’s heart.
Boarding the train to Tokyo, after arriving, Ijichi Kiyotaka, who had been informed by Lin Qi, was already waiting outside the station to drive everyone to the location of Tokyo Jujutsu Technical College.
“This is the first time for Teacher Lin Qi, isn’t it?”
In the car, Ijichi Kiyotaka said.
“Yes, I thought I should come see it too. After all, I’m considered a teacher here.” Lin Qi smiled, his teaching certificate flip-flopping between his fingers like a butterfly, “And it’s good timing to just check it out.”
Komachi’s matter had already been communicated with Ijichi, who would put her name on the staff roster at the window. As long as there were accurate reports on curses, she could receive a decent amount of money upon verification.
It’s at least enough for spending money.
Hearing the conversation, Hachiman Hikigaya sitting in the front passenger seat couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Such a free-spirited teacher as Lin Qi couldn’t even be bothered to visit his own school.
But considering the special nature of both Lin Qi himself and Jujutsu Technical College, the dead-eyed boy quickly reconciled.
“Oh? That means White-hair actually has some free time then.” Lin Qi curled up the corners of his mouth, his hands beginning to twitch like he was ready to spring into action.
However, after noticing the gaze of the black-haired girl next to him, he settled down again: “No matter, the main purpose today is to observe the level of students at Jujutsu High School and to stage a thrilling live combat practice.”
“Eh!?”
Hachiman Hikigaya could not take it anymore, turning back in surprise: “I haven’t heard anything about that!”
What was meant by live combat practice wasn’t them fighting the Technical College students, was it?
It shouldn’t be a problem for Yukinoshita Yukino, but for himself…
No, it’s not just that, it will definitely be a problem!
Quickly glancing over at Komachi, who was looking forward and curious, the light in Hachiman’s eyes gradually faded, and his body seemed to lose strength as well, slumping back onto the seat.
This time, he was going to make quite a fool of himself in front of Komachi.
Unlike Hachiman, Yukinoshita Yukino’s eyes only flickered slightly—she remained unperturbed throughout.
She had only recently learned about Lin Qi’s plans, but she was accustomed to his impromptu initiatives; hence, she did not react as surprised as he did.
Moreover, she was looking forward to this live combat practice too.
Exchanging blows with other student Jujutsu Sorcerers would give her a clear understanding of her current capabilities.
“Mmm—if you please…”
Ijichi Kiyotaka parked the car in front of an endless, winding staircase outside the city, patting his brow with a handkerchief.
He glanced at the tall, white-haired man standing beside the road, a feeling of unease welling up in his heart.
There was a sense that nothing good would happen when Mr. Ijichi and Mr. Gojo were together.
Yet, Ijichi was wrong.
“Welcome, welcome~”
Everyone got off the car, and Gojo Satoru met them warmly, greeting each person individually.
“Bro, this guy with the eye patch can actually see the path, right?”
After the greetings, Komachi tugged at Hachiman Hikigaya’s arm, whispering quietly.
“Don’t ask me, I’ve only seen Mr. Gojo once before, and this is just the second time… But since he’s doing this, there must be a reason.”
Hachiman Hikigaya whispered back.
“Yo, long time no see, Lin Senpai—I mean, nice to meet you.” Gojo Satoru greeted Lin Qi with a smile, reaching out to shake hands.
“Of course, my own body is naturally easy to use.”
“Hehe…”
The smile on Gojo’s face remained unchanged, but the light-blue eyes behind the eye patch were unblinkingly staring at him.
His aura was perfectly controlled—it’s different from when he stayed in Yukinoshita’s body…
Lin Qi was full of mysteries, and Gojo never stopped observing and trying to unravel the enigma of him.
Not to mention the unheard-of incarnation method, the multiple techniques displayed alone warranted serious consideration from Gojo.
More importantly, Lin Qi was an incredibly formidable opponent, and his unpredictable attitude and ideas.
Still, their relationship for now remained friendly.
At any rate, Lin Qi was a nominative faculty member of Technical College, and brought along Itadori Yuuji—there was no sense in pushing their luck further.
“Then, please follow me! I’ll be your tour guide to show you around this prestigious Jujutsu institution.”
Gojo’s face broke into a radiant smile, and it was as if flowers bloomed behind him, the kind seen in shōjo manga.
“And now, I’ll bid you farewell. I hope you have a pleasant day.” Ijichi Kiyotaka pushed his glasses up, bade goodbye, and drove away.
Although he was just an assistant director, the work of being an assistant director also kept him very busy!
Or rather, the main reason was to stay out of the confrontation between Lin Qi and Gojo.
Watching Ijichi depart, Gojo turned back to the group with a new invitation.
“Well, shall we all follow me!”
…
After school, became a Jujutsu Sorcerer
