Chapter 21 - Chapter 21 Enrollment (2)

In response to Ieiri Shoko's greeting, Gojo Satoru stretched out a hand to stroke his chin, his eyes fixed on her as he approached her step by step.

Shoko was momentarily stunned, and instinctively reached out a hand, intending to push away Gojo Satoru's steadily approaching head, but due to the influence of Limitless Power, Shoko's hand was halted in mid-air.

"You... haven't awakened a Cursed Technique?" Gojo Satoru asked, puzzled.

One of the innate abilities of the Rikugan was to see through the Cursed Techniques inscribed within others. Gojo Satoru immediately noticed the difference in Shoko's Cursed Energy, and with a second glance, he directly saw that she had not awakened a Cursed Technique.

Listening to Gojo Satoru's words, Shoko simply withdrew the hand she had extended and gently placed it on her chest, while her other hand reached up to remove the cigarette from her mouth.

"Hm, I haven't awakened an Innate Technique, but I can use Reverse Cursed Technique," Shoko replied calmly.

Although Reverse Cursed Technique has the word 'Technique' in its name, it is not actually a Cursed Technique, but rather a highly advanced skill in Cursed Energy manipulation that can be learned and mastered later in life.

And Shoko possessed a very special talent in this area; a skill that others might spend a lifetime trying to master, Shoko grasped with ease.

Gojo Satoru was first stunned, then showed an excited expression, and dazzling stars seemed to sparkle in his azure eyes.

Shoko looked at Gojo Satoru's appearance and simply smiled faintly, then said, "What? You want to learn? I can teach you."

Gojo Satoru's face instantly became serious, his back straightened, and his legs were together, showing his full attentiveness.

Shoko gently cleared her throat, bending one arm to check something, while extending a finger from her other hand, waving it gently from left to right in the air.

"It's just a 'whoosh' and then a 'swish,' well~ it's pretty much like that, how about it, can you understand?" Shoko said leisurely, gesturing as she spoke.

Gojo Satoru's serious expression instantly crumbled as he watched Shoko's abstract teaching, and a vein throbbed on his forehead. He inwardly wondered why he had been so serious just now.

"Huh? I don't understand, you're really talentless~"

"..."

Gojo Satoru's mouth twitched slightly as Shoko finished speaking, put her hands on her hips, and sighed.

This was not Shoko deliberately messing with Gojo Satoru; of course, there was a tiny bit of that emotion involved, but it was mainly because Reverse Cursed Technique was indeed very abstract.

There are only two people in the current Jujutsu World who openly possess such a technique.

One is Ieiri Shoko, who is right in front of him.

The other is Yuki Tsukumo, who was recently granted the title of "Special Grade Sorcerer." Speaking of Yuki Tsukumo, she... never mind, we can talk about that later.

Chinatsu slowly walked from behind Gojo Satoru to stand in front of Shoko, extending her hand with a smile.

"My name is Chinatsu, and he's Satoru, from the Gojo Family."

Chinatsu introduced herself and Gojo Satoru in concise words, and Shoko likewise extended her hand, shaking Chinatsu's hand.

"Ieiri Shoko, just call me Shoko."

The three of them were already standing at the school gate but did not enter, instead chatting idly at the entrance.

During their conversation, Chinatsu also mentioned the large bag full of delicacies she had bought on the way, asking Shoko if she wanted some snacks.

Shoko had initially intended to refuse, but when she saw the food in the bag, her body instantly became honest.

"Then I'll gladly accept~"

Shoko happily took some delicious-looking food from the bag. Just as she was about to take a small taste, a muscular man with a fierce aura strode out of the school.

"What are you all doing! You're at the school gate, what's the meaning of not coming in?!"

With that shout, everyone shivered and turned to look at the man who had yelled.

Yaga Masamichi, he was to be the homeroom teacher for these few at Jujutsu High.

No one lingered any longer; hearing Principal Yaga's urging, they all scurried into the school.

The moment they passed through the school gate and entered the school grounds, everyone instantly felt the presence of a "barrier." This was Jujutsu High's first line of defense; if an unregistered outsider entered, an alarm would immediately sound.

Regarding schooling, Chinatsu had originally thought she had already come to terms with it, even hypnotizing herself into believing that attending Jujutsu High would be a very interesting experience, different from schooling in her previous life.

However, when the group of "classmates" appeared around her, and a person named "teacher" appeared ahead, and the terrifying building called "school" appeared not far away...

That fear from the depths of her spirit surged up. There were definitely people in this world who loved going to school, but Chinatsu also knew that she was absolutely not one of them.

Chinatsu let out a cool breath, her eyes darting left and right, trying to find a sense of agreement from Shoko and Gojo Satoru on either side of her.

But Shoko was still her usual carefree self, not showing any fear at all, while Gojo Satoru, rather than being afraid or fearful, seemed more nervous. He was currently adjusting his state, preparing to confront Yaga.

Chinatsu withdrew her gaze and looked forward again. Geto Suguru, the last first-year student whom Chinatsu had initially thought was late, appeared in her line of sight.

It turned out he wasn't late; on the contrary, he had arrived very early, having waited inside the school for Chinatsu and the others for over half an hour.

At this, Yaga Masamichi reached up with a relieved expression to adjust the sunglasses on his face, thinking that at least there was one normal student in the first year. In the future, he would use Geto as a benchmark and try to make the other problem students emulate him.

Yaga Masamichi's little thoughts were clearly caught by Chinatsu. Chinatsu lowered her head and let out a soft, helpless sigh, silently mourning for Principal Yaga for three seconds.

A normal student?

Yaga, give up the struggle.

Among these people, only I am normal; the others are each more abnormal than the last.

Chinatsu thought this to herself, unaware that in the distant future, when someone would ask Yaga which student's personality he found most troublesome among those he taught...

Yaga would immediately grab a bottle of beer, gulp down several mouthfuls, and then answer the question without hesitation.

"Is that even a question? It's definitely that girl!"
