Tokyo Jujutsu High was located in the suburbs of Tokyo, in a deep mountain forest that was usually unvisited.
However, "unvisited" referred to ordinary people. For supernatural beings in the inner world, Jujutsu High was also one of the main gathering places for supernatural beings in Tokyo.
After all, the spiritual resurgence had only been around for about twenty years. "Special-grade" combat power was still quite valuable. Having a special-grade combat power in an ordinary supernatural force was enough to gain a foothold in the inner world.
Although there were only three special-grades publicly known in the Jujutsu world, there were still a few jujutsu sorcerers whose combat power was at the special-grade level but had not been awarded the title of special-grade by the Jujutsu higher-ups.
Since Gojo Satoru, who was still a high school student more than ten years ago, emerged as the strongest modern jujutsu sorcerer, Jujutsu High had spent less than ten years making jujutsu sorcerers the third largest force in Tokyo, second only to Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism.
And as a place for training jujutsu sorcerers and issuing missions to them, after ten years of development, not only did jujutsu sorcerers study and live here, but many other supernatural beings recruited by the Jujutsu world also gathered here.
Out of respect for a powerhouse like Gojo Satoru, they chose to attach themselves to Jujutsu High.
Although when Miyauchi Hikage thought of Gojo Satoru now, the first things that appeared in his mind were still the two memes "Nah, I'd win" and "I'm sorry I couldn't make Sukuna-sama use his full strength."
But to be fair, Gojo Satoru was indeed strong enough in this era.
Pseudo-infinite endurance in normal state, high destructive power, absolute defense that could not be broken without a domain, teleportation ability, plus his own talent.
If it weren't for the blank period of hundreds of years caused by the supernatural decline, during which the Jujutsu world lost many secret manuals and documents, and many moves were lost in these hundred years, Gojo Satoru's battle with Sukuna might have lasted a few more chapters.
It was just that Gojo Satoru's upper limit was here.
Although there was no such saying in the inner world, for Miyauchi Hikage, a battle power enthusiast who frequented various forums in his previous life discussing "quasi-admiral" and "super kage" levels, he tentatively placed Gojo Satoru at the threshold of "super special-grade."
After all, Jujutsu Kaisen did expose all of Gojo Satoru's weaknesses.
There were mechanics, but not many.
Unlimited Void sounded impressive, but it was only used to clear mobs. The innate techniques that were "not inferior to Gojo Satoru" in the later stages of the manga were the ones that really played with mechanics.
The Six Eyes did have stats, but they were still far behind a pure stat monster like Sukuna.
So with poor mechanics, insufficient information, insufficient stats, and even Sukuna being crazily patched by the author with void loans, it was not surprising that Gojo Satoru lost to Sukuna.
It could only be said that Gojo Satoru's exit was really not dignified, which was why netizens crazily meme'd about it.
However, considering that Gojo Satoru basically stomped special-grades other than Sukuna, and Kenjaku, an old fox who had lived for thousands of years, only thought of sealing Gojo Satoru instead of killing him, placing Gojo Satoru at the position of the gatekeeper of super special-grade should be quite reasonable.
And Miyauchi Hikage, who now had the qualification to fight special-grades relying on Unlimited Blade Works and the dragon-slaying holy sword, thought about it. He probably still couldn't touch Gojo Satoru right now. Fighting with those ordinary special-grade Cursed Spirits should be his limit.
The next improvement would be to increase his stats from all aspects.
Looking at the gate of Jujutsu High, and Yotsuya Miko and that panda welcoming him at the school gate, Miyauchi Hikage turned to look at Shinomiya Kaguya.
"That is Yotsuya Miko, my good friend. She is a supernatural being who suddenly awakened 'Spiritual Vision'. She is currently a first-year student at Jujutsu High like me. If you are willing to join Jujutsu High, she will also be your future classmate."
"That panda is a second-year senpai. It is said to be a sudden mutant Cursed Corpse born from an accident, with self-awareness. It should be that the principal knew you were coming to visit Jujutsu High, so he specially called him over to welcome you."
It had to be said, even though she already knew Miyauchi Hikage's talent, Shinomiya Kaguya was still a little envious watching the principal specially call Panda-senpai over to welcome Miyauchi Hikage.
After all, when she and Yotsuya Miko were brought over, if they hadn't been lucky enough to bump into Gojo Satoru who had just woken up, no one would have come to welcome them.
"Yo, Kaguya, you guys are finally back," Panda showed a kind smile on his face and greeted Shinomiya Kaguya and Miyauchi Hikage who got out of the car.
He put on a friendly appearance. He remembered the old man's instructions to take good care of Miyauchi Hikage at school and try to make him have a good impression of Jujutsu High and stay.
This kind of thing shouldn't have been left to him, but recently a bunch of messy guys calling themselves "Ghouls" had inexplicably appeared in Tokyo and caused quite a stir.
Now the entire inner world of Tokyo was fully searching for these man-eating evil spirits that had suddenly appeared, and figuring out how they suddenly appeared in Tokyo.
Including the old principal, who was also dealing with the Ghouls outside the school. This could be considered the number one major event in Tokyo at present.
Therefore, most of the teachers and supernatural beings of Jujutsu High were currently not in the school, and the most reliable candidates among the students in school were actually only the newcomer Yotsuya Miko and him, the Cursed Corpse panda.
Regarding these matters, Panda also briefly explained the emptiness within the college while taking Miyauchi Hikage around Jujutsu High.
"Ghouls?" Hearing the panda's complaints, a ripple appeared in Miyauchi Hikage's eyes.
Of course he knew the origin of Ghouls.
But listening to Panda, those Ghouls seemed to have appeared suddenly in Tokyo, and no trace of them before their appearance could be found by any means.
It sounded as if those Ghouls who were originally in another world had suddenly been transferred to this world.
Is it a world rift again?
It might be different from the situation on Tohru's side.
After all, the unstable spatial area in the mountains of Asahigaoka was very obvious. Anyone with a little perception ability could detect the spatial fluctuations in that area.
But if unstable spatial fluctuations appeared in a big city like Tokyo, they would probably be discovered and sealed immediately. The appearance of these Ghouls shouldn't be traceless.
Either these Ghouls were created by some conspirators and put into Tokyo by hidden means, or these Ghouls crossed over to this world from the world of Tokyo Ghoul through another way that was not easily detected.
He wondered if Kirishima Touka and Kaneki Ken had appeared in this world now.
Although he didn't have a good impression of Ghouls, as long as they didn't deliberately hunt humans, Miyauchi Hikage felt that he could barely accept them.
However, looking at the big moves of the inner world, under the influence of other Ghouls who hunted humans wantonly, these neutral Ghouls would probably also be targets of extermination.
And the intensity of the extermination would definitely be much greater than in the world of Tokyo Ghoul.
But this matter wasn't that important. Miyauchi Hikage, who didn't plan to save those Ghouls anyway, just kept this matter in mind, planning to mention the Ghouls in the second batch of diaries first. If Kirishima Touka was a holder of the second batch of diaries, these things should be able to provide her with a little help.
But that was all.
After knowing about the Ghouls, he focused his gaze on Yotsuya Miko.
After practicing at Jujutsu High for a while, Yotsuya Miko, who hadn't even returned home a few times during the entire Golden Week holiday, looked much healthier mentally than in the manga.
In the manga, Yotsuya Miko had no countermeasures against those vengeful spirits and evil spirits, and could only bite the bullet and pretend with teary eyes that she couldn't see anything.
Now Yotsuya Miko, after undergoing the entrance test, seemed to have been reborn, devoting herself wholeheartedly to cultivation, only thinking of becoming a true jujutsu sorcerer as soon as possible, so she could personally eradicate those frightening vengeful spirits and Cursed Spirits.
And these changes occurred because of his appearance.
Miyauchi Hikage was very gratified by this.
If those girls could have the awareness of Yotsuya Miko, and he could hide peacefully to write diaries and farm rewards, and these girls could make good use of the diary's benefits to change their lives and enhance their strength, how great it would be for everyone to win together.
Watching Miyauchi Hikage chatting with Yotsuya Miko, Shinomiya Kaguya only felt that his appearance seemed to have less politeness and more sincerity than when he met her before.
Does Miyauchi Hikage like this type of girl?
Sitting in the car, because she saw Miyauchi Hikage's intimate contact with his two childhood friends in the morning, Shinomiya Kaguya's gaze towards Miyauchi Hikage was slightly strange.
But after calming down, she also realized that as a male supporting character in a cute-girls-doing-cute-things manga who never showed his face, versatility and genius were indeed his labels.
But that was just a cute-girls manga after all, not a real yuri work.
Shinomiya Kaguya, who had been instilled with a lot of knowledge by the 2D girls in the chat group these days, knew that cute-girls manga featured main characters who were all female, but without obvious yuri plots, and those girls who appeared might even have crushes and secret loves.
In this regard, in order to reduce the impact, Miyauchi Hikage should belong to the "harem protagonist" treatment who clearly hadn't officially appeared in the manga, had super low presence but was liked by everyone, yet was slightly indecisive in terms of feelings.
Of course, based on Shinomiya Kaguya's contact with Miyauchi Hikage over the past two days, she also knew that Miyauchi Hikage was not a central air conditioner who radiated friendliness to everyone equally.
To be precise, Miyauchi Hikage usually fit his characteristic of low presence very well.
If it weren't for the fact that his filming of those horror videos was discovered, just his statement at the beginning of the school year that he liked horror movies and wanted to make a movie like The Shining would be enough to make him an invisible person in that class.
Only those around Miyauchi Hikage could enjoy his gentle treatment.
And it wasn't just women who could be treated like this by Miyauchi Hikage.
Like the bunch of young men at the Asahigaoka studio, Koshigaya Suguru, and Sakakibara Kouichi and Itou Kaiji in Tokyo, Miyauchi Hikage's attitude towards them was also quite good.
And relying on Shinomiya Kaguya's various small schemes, she should barely be considered to have entered this list now, but she was obviously still inferior to people like Shiina Mashiro and Honma Meiko who knew Miyauchi Hikage in advance.
However, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't really plan to "throw herself" at Miyauchi Hikage like Shiina Mashiro, nor did she have a life-and-death friendship with Miyauchi Hikage like Honma Meiko.
In fact, she currently hadn't developed romantic feelings for Miyauchi Hikage yet.
Shinomiya Kaguya, who had seen her foolish appearance when falling in love, was now extremely sensitive to emotions in this regard. Even a single spearhead would be forcibly suppressed by her rationality.
She just wanted to be a friend who could communicate normally with Miyauchi Hikage and occasionally have a heart-to-heart talk. Of course, the premise was that Miyauchi Hikage could continue to maintain his current excellence.
She knew her thoughts were very realistic. Perhaps because of this, a shrewd person like Miyauchi Hikage would always maintain a trace of politeness when communicating with her.
Even though at her request, she and Miyauchi Hikage were now in an "intimate relationship" where they could address each other by given names, essentially Miyauchi Hikage's "Kaguya" was probably about the level of "Shinomiya-san," only slightly higher than "Miss Shinomiya."
Could it be that Miyauchi Hikage, through his ability close to "mind reading," sensed that her heart was not that sincere, and then felt Yotsuya Miko's affection for Miyauchi Hikage in her heart, which led to this differential treatment?
Miyauchi Hikage didn't even know that just by greeting Yotsuya Miko with a slightly better tone, he had caused this woman, Shinomiya Kaguya, to think of a bunch of messy things like exchanging hearts.
After all, Miyauchi Hikage did have his own preferences for those 2D works.
Even in Shinomiya Kaguya's work, Miyauchi Hikage liked Fujiwara Chika and Hayasaka Ai the most, and Shinomiya Kaguya was ranked further behind.
Yotsuya Miko's slightly lewd but pitiful character setting was quite to Miyauchi Hikage's taste.
It was the same logic as his preference for Bocchi.
When facing these characters, Miyauchi Hikage's attitude would naturally be slightly friendlier.
And facing a woman like Shinomiya Kaguya who was full of harem intrigue schemes, although Miyauchi Hikage didn't dislike her, or rather, he quite liked the current Kaguya persona.
But dealing with such people did require more caution, so naturally, he wouldn't let go so easily.
