After class, the group quickly met Utahime and Mei Mei, who had returned from outside.
"Hello, I'm Utahime Iori from the second year. Please take care of me from now on."
"I'm Mei Mei. Please take care of me."
Utahime Iori, wearing a shrine maiden outfit for their first meeting, offered a gentle smile, determined to present her most reliable side to her juniors.
Imagining her juniors calling her "senpai" and relying on her, Utahime's smile grew even brighter.
However, life always strikes unexpectedly.
Satoru Gojo, currently over 1.8 meters tall and not yet at his peak of over 1.9 meters, stood before Utahime.
His tall frame completely overshadowed her.
Hooking a finger over his eyes, he revealed his Six Eyes, hidden behind sunglasses.
"Um, excuse me, you're Gojo-kun, right? Is there something you need?"
Don't panic, don't panic. It's probably just a prank from a cute junior.
"You..."
Satoru Gojo's voice came from above Utahime's head.
"What is it, Gojo-kun?"
"So weak."
Crack.
Utahime seemed to hear something break.
"Satoru, don't bully your senpai."
"But she really is weak."
As he spoke, Satoru Gojo shifted his gaze to Mei Mei.
"This senpai, on the other hand, looks quite strong."
Satoru Gojo's expression was one of interest.
Crack.
Utahime heard another sound of something shattering.
"Oh my, thank you for the compliment, Gojo-kun."
Mei Mei replied with a smile.
Indeed, only a beautiful woman's squinting smile is truly charming.
Suguru Geto's squinting smile always felt a bit... sleazy.
"I'm Suguru Geto. Please take care of me, senpai."
"Ah, oh, please take care of me."
Looking at Suguru Geto, whose smile held an inexplicable warmth, Utahime finally felt a little better.
Someone with such a gentle smile wouldn't intentionally... it probably wasn't on purpose, right?
However, Utahime was still too naive. It wouldn't be long before she witnessed how naturally Suguru Geto could be infuriating.
Amidst laughter and cheer (Utahime: "What about me?"), they finished their self-introductions.
Gulp.
"Eiji, it's time for dinner."
Altoria said, patting her flat stomach.
"Indeed it is."
Eiji glanced at his phone; it was already past five.
"What's for dinner tonight?"
"I don't know. Heroic Spirit Emiya is out on a mission, so he's not at Jujutsu High today."
"Is that so? Then let's go out to eat. What do you guys want?"
Satoru Gojo made a suggestion.
"How about hot pot? Let's invite Medea too."
"Sushi."
"Sukiyaki."
"Yakiniku."
...
In the end, they went to a yakiniku restaurant.
Sizzle.
The sound of a can being opened.
Shoko Ieiri opened a can of beer.
"Teacher Yaga will scold you if he finds out."
Eiji, who was devouring food with Altoria with elegant movements and terrifying speed, warned her.
"It's fine, Teacher Yaga will be asleep by the time we get back. Don't let his appearance fool you, he's actually very health-conscious."
"Gulp, gulp."
It's good to have the Reverse Cursed Technique; you can drink and smoke without any issues.
"Do you want some too, Utahime-senpai?"
Seeing Utahime's surprised expression, Shoko Ieiri invited her.
"Mm, thank you."
Utahime subconsciously took the bottle.
Utahime realized that these first-year juniors were all exceptionally skilled.
Thinking this, Utahime dejectedly raised her glass.
The atmosphere quickly heated up.
"Satoru, that dango is mine!"
Suguru Geto looked speechless as Satoru Gojo snatched away a dango when he wasn't paying attention.
"Don't be stingy, I'll give you this vegetable, hey, don't grab from my bowl."
The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle using their chopsticks as weapons.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere between the two girls next to them was very pleasant.
"So, Ms. Medea will be coming to Jujutsu High as a teacher next year?"
Mei Mei still had that charming and captivating smile.
Surely no one could dislike a woman who smiled like that.
"That's right."
Medea, dressed in professional attire, returned her smile.
"Is that so? What a shame, we already have teachers, so we won't be able to attend Medea-sensei's classes."
Mei Mei said with a look of regret.
"Oh no, if you have any questions, Mei Mei, you're always welcome to come find me."
"Really? Thank you so much, Medea-sensei."
After speaking, Mei Mei clasped her hands together in a gesture of thanks.
"No need to be so formal. Speaking of which, I often saw crows on the road before. Are those your Summoned Spirits, Mei Mei?"
Medea's gaze drifted towards the window. A few crows were perched on a utility pole not far away.
"That's amazing, you noticed that on our first meeting."
Mei Mei's narrowed eyes opened slightly. This time, it wasn't a professional smile born from reading people, but genuine surprise.
"It just so happens that I know a little about Summoned Spirits as well."
Medea smiled and nodded, looking with satisfaction at Mei Mei's surprised expression.
"However, my Cursed Technique, Black Bird Manipulation, isn't very helpful in direct combat. It's more useful for searching and interference."
Mei Mei showed a troubled expression.
Before she developed Kamikaze, a move that exchanged crows for a powerful one-time attack, Mei Mei relied more on hand-to-hand combat and Cursed Tools.
The crows primarily served as support and interference.
"Have you considered cultivating your own Summoned Spirits?"
"Which type of crow consumes the least Cursed Energy, which type of crow can contain the most Cursed Energy..."
Medea's words made Mei Mei fall into thought.
Mei Mei was a person who pursued progress.
If her Cursed Technique wasn't helpful, she trained her hand-to-hand combat.
If hand-to-hand combat became difficult to improve further, she would turn back to developing her Cursed Technique.
When her Cursed Technique couldn't advance further, she would continue to find other methods, like Uraume.
Therefore, from this moment on, Mei Mei began to value Medea, who could help her improve her strength.
The two people on the outside had already transformed into the "complaint squad."
Bang!
"Seriously, what are they thinking, rushing me to get married already!"
Utahime slammed her glass on the table, her face filled with annoyance.
"They even said that since my talent is so good, I should hurry and have several children with those talented young masters to inherit their Cursed Techniques. Why don't those guys do it themselves?"
I think they want to, but those young masters don't find them appealing.
"Okay, okay, calm down."
Shoko Ieiri gently patted Utahime's back while taking a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth.
"Waaah, you're the only one who's nice to me, Shoko."
Utahime hugged Shoko Ieiri emotionally, burying her face in her shoulder.
"Mhm, don't cry."
Senior Utahime doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance.
The seasoned drinker Shoko Ieiri commented.
"Ah, are you drunk already? How pathetic."
"Shut up, you scumbag Gojo!"
"This, is it good?"
Ignoring the furious Utahime, Satoru Gojo's gaze fell on the beer.
"Want to try some?"
Shoko Ieiri handed him a chilled bottle.
"Ah, thanks."
Clink.
Satoru Gojo pulled the tab and, imitating Shoko Ieiri, chugged the entire bottle heartily.
"Hic!"
After downing the bottle, Satoru Gojo's face began to turn red.
"Could it be..."
Eiji suddenly remembered that Satoru Gojo seemed to have a very low alcohol tolerance.
As expected, not long after finishing one bottle, Satoru Gojo collapsed into Suguru Geto's arms.
Suguru Geto: Should I take this opportunity to do something...
One hundred pranks between best friends flashed through Suguru Geto's mind.
"Phew, thankfully he just has a low alcohol tolerance and doesn't get violent when drunk."
The thing that's a special counter to Satoru Gojo has been found: alcohol.
"Hahaha, scumbag Gojo is so pathetic."
I almost forgot, Utahime and Naobito Zenin get violent when they're drunk.
But...
Looking at Satoru Gojo, who was already lying in Suguru Geto's arms, and then at Utahime, who was still saying "serves him right."
Eiji felt that in the future, Utahime could do this.
Every time Satoru Gojo infuriated her to the point of bristling, she could challenge him. As long as Satoru Gojo didn't cheat and refuse, Utahime could outdrink him for a lifetime.
