He even sometimes suspected that his master wasn't human at all. He woke up at 5:30 AM sharp every day to train and went to bed at 12:30 AM, only sleeping for five hours a day.
It was alright for him, since he didn't get up until after seven, unless there were special circumstances. If he woke up as early as his master...
His grave would probably be covered in weeds by now.
"Click—"
The door was opened, and Yuuki and Shura walked out of the house. They hadn't taken more than two steps when they ran into Okkotsu Yuta, who was running towards them. He looked happy to see him, as if something had happened, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Yuuki-kun, that's great, I thought you were taking a nap."
Yuuki asked with some confusion, "I was planning to take a nap, but I found that I couldn't sleep, is something the matter?"
"Gojo-sensei asked the two of us to go over. It seems like he's going to talk about going to Kyoto Jujutsu High, and there are two upperclassmen we don't know."
"Huh? Really!"
Hearing that he didn't need to look for the upperclassmen himself, Yuuki looked surprised.
Although he had considered that the upperclassmen's return meant that he would participate in the sister school exchange event with Kyoto, he didn't expect it to be so soon.
They came back yesterday, and they were going today?
No, no, no, maybe he just wanted me to go over so we could get to know each other, since that would make it easier to cooperate.
"Of course, let's hurry over. Gojo-sensei and the others are waiting in the classroom."
"Okay."
...
The two people and one dog arrived at the classroom door.
Gojo Satoru was standing on the podium at this moment, and waved at the two who had arrived, saying, Good afternoon, I thought you'd be taking a nap and wouldn't come over until much later, Yuuki-kun.
I didn't expect you to be so quick. Let me introduce you to the two second-year upperclassmen!
"Good afternoon, Gojo-sensei." ×2
As Yuuki walked in, he saw the two upperclassmen sitting in their seats.
Uh... how should he describe them?
Very distinctive?
Even though they were only one year older, one of them looked like he was already in his thirties.
His hair was matted together as if it hadn't been washed in a long time, and he had a yakuza face that would make children cry if they looked at him.
He wore a thick gold chain around his neck that was as thick as a little finger, giving off the feeling of a nouveau riche.
The muscles on his arms, which were exposed under his black short sleeves, bulged, and you could tell at a glance that he was not to be trifled with.
As for the other one...
Was it a man or a woman?
Although the feeling wasn't as exaggerated as that muscular upperclassman, something still felt strange, like he was a man dressed as a woman.
It wasn't just him who was sizing them up, they were also sizing him up.
"Hey, hey! Look at me."
Gojo Satoru shouted, "I believe you've all gotten a preliminary understanding of each other in that exchange of glances just now. Let's all introduce ourselves to each other! Yuuki-kun, you go first!"
Hearing Gojo-sensei call his name, Yuuki walked onto the podium, took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression, Hello, my name is Yuuki, and this dog is called Shura.
He's my son. His strength is that he can take a beating, and his weakness is that his IQ is a little low.
I'm not talented, and I don't know many things, but I'm proficient in various martial arts and assassination techniques. If I had to summarize myself in one sentence, I'm a ninja!
"Huh? What the hell?" ×2
The two people in their seats looked at Yuuki on the podium with surprised expressions.
Gojo Satoru clapped his hands and said:
"Alright, it's Yuta's turn."
"Okay, Gojo-sensei."
Okkotsu Yuta took a deep breath and walked onto the podium with some trepidation.
To be honest, this was the first time he had talked to an upperclassman, and although one of them was dressed a bit like a thug, maybe he was a really good person?
Uh... Okay, he shouldn't deceive himself.
"My name is Okkotsu Yuta. It's nice to meet you. I'm very happy to meet you. Although I don't know much, please... please take care of me."
After Okkotsu Yuta finished speaking, he walked towards Yuuki to the side. Gojo Satoru also beckoned to that muscular man, and said, "Alright, come up and introduce yourself, Kinji."
"Okay!"
Kinji Hakari stretched lazily and slowly got up. After twisting his neck a few times, he walked onto the podium with a confident smile on his face, picked up the chalk on the table, and wrote his name on the blackboard, saying, "My name is Kinji Hakari, a second-year student. I'm your reliable upperclassman! You can ask me anything you don't understand."
"Wow! This upperclassman is actually a good person!"
Okkotsu Yuta shouted inwardly.
"Hey, hey!" Gojo Satoru interjected, "Although I know that you get along well in terms of personality, we'll talk about that later. Roro, come up and introduce yourself!"
"Okay."
Kirara Hoshi slowly got up, and a man's voice came from under the woman's appearance.
Just as Yuuki had guessed, it was a man dressed as a woman. As for how he could tell, it was of course from the collarbone.
You could easily tell from this point, but he was a little unsure at the time, after all, his knowledge was limited, and he didn't dare to be too blindly confident.
However...
People who could become jujutsu sorcerers had some kind of psychological defect in them. He didn't discriminate against people who were a man in a woman's body.
Or rather, he only discriminated against those who knew they were weak but didn't try to change.
Kirara Hoshi calmly walked to the podium, gave Yuuki and Okkotsu Yuta a slight smile, and said, "My name is Kirara Hoshi, I'm Kinji's partner, it's nice to meet you."
"Kirara Hoshi... upperclassman?"
Okkotsu Yuta was a little surprised. Just looking at the long black hair and the makeup on his face, he thought it was an upperclasswoman, but it turned out to be an upperclassman!
But he just muttered to himself, and didn't say it out loud. After all, no matter what other people were like, you had to show them basic respect.
Gojo Satoru interjected, "Alright! Now that everyone has introduced themselves, let's talk about the time for the sister school exchange event with Kyoto Jujutsu High."
"It's next Monday, which is four days from now! We'll be leaving a day early, so everyone should get to know each other well for these three days."
"Okay, Gojo-sensei!"
The four said in unison.
"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll see you later!"
As Gojo Satoru left, the four people in the classroom looked at each other, seemingly not knowing how to start a conversation.
"Ahem."
Yuuki coughed lightly to attract the three's attention, and said, "Would the two upperclassmen like to have a drink?"
"Yes!"
Kirara Hoshi raised his left hand, and said with a playful expression. He didn't seem to care about what others thought of him, or maybe he was already used to it.
"Uh... sure, thank you, lowerclassman."
Kinji Hakari hesitated a little, but didn't refuse when he saw Kirara Hoshi's happy expression.
After all, they were weirdos in other people's eyes, and this was the first time they weren't being looked at with strange eyes.
Besides, the passionate speech that lowerclassman Yuuki had just given was very much to his liking, but it was only to his liking.
If the third-year upperclassmen or the higher-ups heard someone describing themselves as a "ninja", they would probably scoff at it.
"You're welcome."
Everyone walked out of the classroom, and Yuuki continued to ask, "Judging from Hakari-senpai's figure, you must be a close-combat type, right?"
"Yeah, you can feel free to ask me, your upperclassman, about anything you don't understand about close-quarters combat!"
As Kinji Hakari said this, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said, To be ashamed, I was criticized by the higher-ups this year.
If it wasn't for Gojo-sensei's recommendation, we probably wouldn't be participating in the exchange event with Kyoto Jujutsu High, hahaha!
Although he said that he was embarrassed, he didn't feel like he had done anything wrong in his words, and was very proud instead.
Yuuki also roughly understood this upperclassman's personality, which was unrestrained!
He dared to do what he wanted to do, and never regretted it after he did it. Underneath his fierce appearance was a helpful heart.
Maybe he would leave school to pursue his dreams one day. He could get to know him better.
"You're cursed, lowerclassman."
Kirara Hoshi was chatting with Okkotsu Yuta at this moment. He found that this person was really interesting.
Even though he had a lot of cursed energy in his body, he always chatted with people in a humble manner.
"No, I wasn't cursed, but I cursed her."
Okkotsu Yuta had noticed this during his jujutsu studies, and had also talked to Gojo-sensei about it. The final conclusion was:
He loved her too much. At the moment when Rika died in front of him, he cursed her, cursed her with the belief that this wasn't true, that Rika was still alive...
"Is that so..."
Kirara Hoshi looked at the ring that Okkotsu Yuta was holding tightly in his left hand, and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He said in a somewhat low voice, "I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's not your fault, upperclassman. I'll take this step and resolve Rika's curse."
Okkotsu Yuta unconsciously clenched his hands, then realized that he was a little nervous, took a deep breath and said soothingly, "Anyway, I'll work hard!"
"Yeah, do your best!"
Kirara Hoshi didn't know how to encourage this upperclassman with a story, so he could only say "do your best", after all, that's how he encouraged himself.
Shura's mind was full of thoughts about the big beef bone for tonight, which was both good for chewing and delicious.
Everyone walked out of the teaching building, and Yuuki ordered seven drinks from the vending machine, and distributed them to everyone. He still had three drinks left in his hand.
These three drinks were for Maki and the others, and it was noon right now, so they should be eating in the cafeteria.
He asked, "Do you want to go to the cafeteria to eat together?"
"No need." Kinji Hakari opened the bottle cap and refused, "We just went out to eat this morning, and we're not hungry yet. Roro and I are going to walk around the training field for a while. Come find us there after you're done eating."
"Okay, see you this afternoon then, Hakari-senpai."
"See you this afternoon, I admire you." Kinji Hakari patted Yuuki on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up, encouraging him:
"If you ever run into any trouble in the future, feel free to ask me, your upperclassman, for help. The passion of youth will never fade!"
Yuuki: "Thank you, Hakari-senpai, have a good day."
Okkotsu Yuta watched Kirara Hoshi leave, and waved his hand, shouting, "See you this afternoon, upperclassman."
Kirara Hoshi didn't say anything, and just waved goodbye.
Looking at the upperclassmen who were leaving, Okkotsu Yuta let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's great, I was worried that the upperclassmen would be hard to get along with, but it turns out that they're all good people!"
