...
Kyoto School, in the principal's office.
Todo Aoi and Yuuki were standing inside at this moment.
Masamichi Yaga was staring at the two of them without saying a word. Gojo Satoru was sitting with his legs crossed, whistling and looking at the ceiling, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Gojo Satoru!"
Masamichi Yaga finally couldn't help but speak first, "Look at the student you taught! He actually set fire to the forest!"
"Don't be angry, you're so old, what if you get hurt from being angry? At worst, come to my school next year, and I'll let you set a fire once?" Gojo Satoru said with a smile.
"Pfft!"
Although he knew that he shouldn't laugh in this situation, Yuuki couldn't help it, and laughed directly. Perhaps he had been infected by Gojo-sensei, anyway, he just wanted to laugh, muttering inwardly:
"Come to my school and set a fire next year, what an insulting thing to say, isn't that saying that they'll definitely lose this year?"
"Boy, be careful you won't be rated as a Grade 2 sorcerer if you laugh!" Masamichi Yaga thought that he could threaten him like this.
After all, being able to fight Todo Aoi to a standstill, being rated as a Grade 2 sorcerer was a sure thing. If he couldn't get it this year, he would have to wait a year. Or get a recommendation from another Grade 1 sorcerer, but it couldn't be his team leader, no one would give up this opportunity.
"Tch, if I can't get it, I can't get it, I don't care about that ethereal thing, can it improve my strength?" Although that's what Yuuki wanted to say, he felt that it was a little too disrespectful to this old man. After all, he was the head of a school, so he just sneered and closed his mouth.
Gojo Satoru said with some displeasure at this moment, "Is my student's future something that you can stop? Besides, he doesn't care about it at all, don't be so conceited, old man."
"…"
Knowing that he couldn't reason with Gojo Satoru, Masamichi Yaga didn't say anything else. After all, he had already gotten so thick-skinned that he was protecting his own student to the death, so he could only wave his hand and say, "Alright, I'll talk about this with Yaga later, Gojo Satoru, take your own student and leave, today's team battle doesn't count, we'll continue tomorrow."
"Alright, bye-bye!"
Gojo Satoru immediately got up, put his arm around Yuuki, and left directly. Before leaving, he kindly left a message, "Don't take this fire too seriously, if it really doesn't work out, just burn it back next year."
"…"
Just as Masamichi Yaga was about to swear, Gojo Satoru very sensibly left directly. Todo Aoi looked at his own principal's hands, which had veins bulging on the cane, and said:
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I still need to go find my best friend to increase our feelings for each other."
"Wait a moment, Todo." Masamichi Yaga stopped him, "Your Grade 1 sorcerer rating has been approved."
"Oh, is that all, Principal?" Todo Aoi's expression was natural, seemingly not thinking that this was anything.
"…"
If it were someone else, they would have been happy for a few days, or even bragged about it for half a year after their Grade 1 sorcerer rating was approved. Why was it that when it came to you, you didn't care at all, as if it was a matter of course, and also didn't care at all about the so-called rating.
Masamichi Yaga continued, "What do you think of that Yuuki's strength?"
"He hasn't used his killing moves yet, who knows. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first, goodbye Principal." After Todo Aoi finished speaking, he left directly.
Watching Todo Aoi leave, Masamichi Yaga slowly spat out a few words, "Killing moves huh..."
Tokyo School's lodging.
Okkotsu Yuta sat on a chair and asked with some worry, "I wonder what kind of criticism Yuuki-kun will receive, after all, he burned so many trees."
Hakari Kinji comforted him, "It's just setting fire to the forest, at worst, he'll get the same punishment as us, suspension from school, it's not a big deal."
"Yeah, we were punished not long after we became second-years, but we're still eating and drinking as usual, nothing's happened." Hoshi Kirara was lying on the table, with an ice cream stick in his mouth.
"…"
"What did you guys do to get punished?" Okkotsu Yuta asked with some curiosity.
Hoshi Kirara: "It doesn't feel like a big deal, never mind, I won't say it."
"…"
"The more you don't say it, the more curious I get, senpai!" Okkotsu Yuta complained inwardly.
"Yo-hoo! Did you miss us?"
Gojo Satoru's voice came, and everyone's attention turned to look over. Yuuki walked into everyone's view with a bitter face at this moment, seemingly having suffered some serious psychological blow.
Okkotsu Yuta knew that Yuuki had been punished when he saw this situation, and quickly ran forward to comfort him, "It's not a big deal, right? Otherwise, I'll accompany you to plant the trees back after the competition in a few days, maybe we can get the punishment revoked?"
"Thank you, it's great to have a brother like you, a punishment or something... of course there isn't one!"
Yuuki, who was originally choking back tears, instantly changed to a smiling face, cheering, "Today's team battle doesn't count, we'll continue tomorrow, the plan has been changed to a gang fight!"
"…"
Everyone was speechless, and Okkotsu Yuta also silently retracted his right hand that he had placed on his shoulder.
"Alright, alright, we should go have fun this afternoon, don't have too much psychological burden. Yuta, come with me, I'll take you to see some good things."
"Yeah, okay Gojo-sensei."
Faced with Gojo Satoru's invitation, Okkotsu Yuta agreed and said goodbye to everyone before leaving.
Watching the two leave, Hakari Kinji looked at Yuuki, who was next to him, and asked, "Do you want to go out for a drink together, Yuuki-kun?"
"No, no, I still have some things to do. You two upperclassmen go have fun."
Yuuki declined, he still didn't understand the Reverse Cursed Technique, and always felt that there was some misunderstanding in his understanding of the technique theory.
"Is that so, then we won't force Yuuki-kun to accompany us for a drink, bye-bye." Hoshi Kirara pulled Hakari Kinji and waved goodbye.
"Yeah, see you later, senpai."
Yuuki watched the two leave and also turned to leave. He wanted to return to his room and continue to research the Reverse Cursed Technique.
Although he felt that he didn't really need this thing at the moment, after all, he didn't have much cursed energy in his body to begin with, and under the Sharingan's detailed observation, it was easy for him to run out of cursed energy in his body without anything serious happening to him. If he wanted to change this situation, unless he could draw a Sage Body, otherwise he could only slowly do missions.
Returning to his room, Yuuki took off his shoes, took out the drink he had bought yesterday from the refrigerator, sat on the bed, opened it, took a sip, and put it on the table next to the bed.
He opened the system panel, and looked at the only 32 points he had, and felt a little troubled for a moment. Although after going in -8 he would still have 24 points, in theory, he could draw something good.
But with his ten thousand years of bad luck, the probability of drawing something good was pitifully small.
But!
If he really drew something good, wouldn't he take off?
Yuuki was feeling a little agitated at this moment, and slammed his head against the clean white wall at the head of the bed a few times, making "thump thump thump" sounds. He only stopped when his brain completely stopped thinking about this matter. This was why he hated overthinking, every time he overthought, he needed to force himself to calm down.
Looking at the white paint that had fallen off the wall, and the remaining bloodstains, Yuuki knew that he had broken his head again, so he got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he unconsciously recalled the events of his previous life.
He was a weird person, a very weird person...
Sometimes he would cry and feel sad when animals died in front of him, but he didn't shed a single tear for his father's sudden death from illness, as if he had been liberated. Then he went from relative's house to relative's house. He was numb at that time, like a puppet who only knew how to study and didn't want to touch reality.
After growing up a bit, he understood that people needed to find a reason to live, and then he searched for the so-called meaning on the journey of learning.
Although his classmates in middle school scolded him for being a child without manners, he didn't pay attention to them. Because he knew that he couldn't add a burden to his relatives' families.
In the end, with his own efforts, he was accepted into medical school, and then he met that special person for him...
Liu Yang.
He was his first friend, and also taught him many things. He also found the meaning of life, which was:
『Living is in itself a meaningful thing, people can't have both extreme good and extreme evil, just do what you think is feasible.』
These also applied to this world, but he wanted to have the strength to protect his friends on top of this, after all, only by losing did he understand the preciousness of friendship. He didn't want to be alone, otherwise, darkness would envelop him again.
After recalling the events of the past, Yuuki sighed softly, looked at himself in the mirror, and said to himself, "If you don't comprehend the technique today, don't even think about sleeping."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door, and Todo Aoi's voice came from outside the door, "Best friend, do you want to train together?"
"Train... together?"
Yuuki was a little surprised at Todo Aoi's sudden arrival, but he seemed to have thought of something, and his complex state of mind instantly became clear. He muttered inwardly, "That's right! Train together! Everyone's understanding of the Reverse Cursed Technique might be different, why not ask Geto Suguru? Anyway, he's also a Special Grade sorcerer, asking him won't take a piece of my flesh, he can't possibly come and f*** me through the phone screen, right?"
In addition to his joy, he didn't forget to respond, "No, I have something important to do today, thank you, best friend, I sincerely thank you!"
"You're busy... huh..."
Todo Aoi seemed to have suffered some kind of blow, and the image of himself holding a thick book at this moment, waiting in front of the classroom corridor. Waiting for his best friend from a different class to get out of class and go read a book under the cherry blossom tree together.
But... his best friend's class, the teacher was actually holding them back!
In the end, he returned empty-handed...
Yuuki was completely unaware that Todo had left in disappointment. He sat back on the bed with a happy face, picked up the phone on the bed, and dialed Geto Suguru's number.
At this moment, in a certain church in Japan, Geto Suguru was wearing a cassock and exorcising a cursed spirit from a woman's body.
He lightly shouted, "Don't move," and then stretched out his right hand, as if there was some kind of attraction. The cursed spirit that was originally binding the woman was being torn apart, and eventually formed a black ball in Geto Suguru's hand.
The troubles that had been binding the woman for several months suddenly disappeared, and the woman rubbed her shoulders, which were no longer heavy, and exclaimed, "Huh! Really? I feel so much lighter!?"
Geto Suguru said with a friendly face, "You're alright now."
"Thank you." The woman, who originally didn't quite believe in the so-called church's exorcism, now believed it instantly.
"It's nothing, if you encounter any problems again, you're welcome to come over at any time."
Geto Suguru declined, until he saw the woman leaving. His originally friendly expression instantly turned disgusted, and he murmured, "If it wasn't to obtain enough cursed spirits, I wouldn't bother with you monke..."
Before he could finish speaking, the phone he had placed in his chest suddenly rang. He took it out with a confused expression, and found that it was Yuuki calling him, his expression turned joyful, and he answered the call:
"What's wrong, Yuuki-kun? Did you want to come over? Or do you have some questions you need to ask me?"
Yuuki: "Yeah, I wanted to ask Geto-sensei, how do you understand the Reverse Cursed Technique? I understand all the theory of the technique that Gojo-sensei explained, but I start to get confused when I put it into practice."
Geto Suguru didn't directly explain the principle of the technique, but instead chatted like a friendly older brother, saying, "That guy Gojo actually taught you the Reverse Cursed Technique? You're qualified to learn it after only being enrolled for more than three months, you have good talent. Has your Grade 2 sorcerer certificate been issued yet? If it hasn't, then how about you come over to my side?"
"It hasn't..." Yuuki said with some headache, "Geto-sensei, if you keep saying that, I won't chat with you anymore.
Although I don't have too many feelings for your plan, what I do know is that if too many people die, the balance of this society will be disrupted, farming, animal husbandry, electricity supply, scientific and technological innovation, etc., the things that are usually convenient will be much less."
"Oh! Is that so... I'll think about it carefully, thank you for your opinion, Yuuki-kun."
Geto Suguru wasn't angry, but instead accepted Yuuki's opinion with a very optimistic attitude, and continued, "Alright, as a reward for chatting, I'll explain what I think the Reverse Cursed Technique is."
On the journey of life, there are always many whys, such as why the author gave up a job that paid six or seven thousand a month to write a book. Of course it's to settle down and seek the meaning of life. It's not just getting married and having children, there's also so-called passion.
No one is born perfect. Striving for what you deserve is the best, and also the most profound.
