Gojo heart rate spiked briefly. But he quickly realized what was happening and turned to the smiling Rin.
"Rin, what are you teaching Ellen again?!"
'...But Ellen wearing a teacher uniform… actually, he would really like to see it. Just imagining it was exciting,' he thought, glancing at her.
But one look at Ellen, her tail wrapped tightly around her body, told him enough. She was being pressured.
"Is this Truth or Dare again? Did Ellen lose?!" Gojo guessed.
Because last time, it was also due to Truth or Dare that Ellen was forced to say things that didn't fit her personality at all. And Truth or Dare was a game he brought from Earth v1!
"Oh, just say whether you like it or not. Looking at you, you love it to death!" Rin curled her lip, looking playful.
"Exactly, exactly. Your heartbeat was so fast just now, I could even hear it. Thump, thump, thump!" Ruby continued to tease him.
"Compared to that, I really want to see what Gojo eyes look like under his blindfold. I've never seen them, and the teacher even took it off just now!" Monna chimed in from the side.
When this topic came up, not only Monna and the others, but even Ellen, who had lifted her tail, looked at Gojo with curiosity.
After being seriously injured in the Hollow that time, Gojo had never taken off his blindfold. He kept it on because of the injury.
Ellen vaguely remembered what Gojo looked like as a child. He had a pair of very beautiful brown eyes.
"I was closing my eyes when the teacher took off my blindfold earlier. You know my eyes are injured." When asked about it, Gojo panicked instantly and tried to change the subject.
It wouldn't matter if Monna and Ruby knew what color his eyes were, but it would be different if Ellen knew. Wouldn't that be a roundabout way of exposing himself more quickly? After all, Ellen also went on Hollow missions and should be very familiar with The Honored One.
"Is that so? What a pity, but... I still want to see!" As soon as Monna finished speaking, she lunged at Gojo, trying to pull off his blindfold.
The two dodged and weaved, using the door, the window, the ceiling, and even circling the curled-up Ellen, treating her like an invisible wall!
It turned into a game of guerrilla warfare in the hallway right outside the office! What a daring maneuver! And it was all because Monna didn't believe Gojo at all!
Just a moment ago, she clearly saw the teacher glowing gaze after she took off Gojo blindfold, as well as the envious and hateful looks from the boys around them!
"Hmph, Gojo, your eyes must have recovered. Otherwise, how could you see us clearly while wearing a blindfold? You don't need to role play The Honored One to boost the popularity of your dessert shop in front of us!" Monna lunged at Gojo, trying to grab his pan- blindfold!!
"No, Monna, my eyes really aren't adjusted yet, so I can't take off the blindfold, or it will worsen the injury!" Gojo dodged Monna traitorous and dirty hands, but to his surprise, Rin and Ruby followed! grabbing him from behind!
"Gojo, stop lying. We all saw it when the teacher took off your blindfold earlier. What's the harm in letting us see it?" Monna said with a devilish smile.
Gojo struggled, but Rin and Ruby wouldn't give him a chance to escape. Their eyes shine with determination!
"He… He… He. Today, we must reveal your true face!" Monna said with a sinister smile and with a wriggling fingers taking another step toward Gojo pan- blindfold!!
Seeing that the three of them wouldn't let him go, Gojo could only sigh.
Exposing his eyes was out of the question, so he prepared to use some dirty tricks to escape!
Just as he was about to 'open up', Ellen stepped out from the corner, grabbed Monna, and pulled Gojo out of Rin and Ruby ill intention hug! successfully stopping their scuffle!
"Alright, you three, if Gojo doesn't like it, don't force him!"
"And didn't I say that already? His eyes were indeed injured, and it was quite serious, so it's normal for him to need to cover his eyes. He was cut by an Ethereal in the Hollow back then."
"Ah~~ Ellen, you're such a killjoy!" Monna rolled her eyes.
Seeing Ellen step in, the three had to temporarily drop the idea.
As Ellen good friends, they naturally knew how devastated she was when Gojo had his accident, so they didn't continue messing around.
Seeing the three brat stop, Gojo silently gave Ellen a thumbs up in his heart.
Best comrade ever!
'Thank you, my lovely Ellen Just for this, I will bring more plates that Nekomata made. She really likes to make them anyway, and today the kitchen is half full of plates! And just yesterday Ellen almost cleared everything!' Gojo thought, wondering how Nekomata made all those plates in just a day.
"Since there's nothing else to do now, Gojo, let's go to the basketball court and practice. I don't want us to lose tonight game. Their basketball team is so arrogant. Not only did they call you a dog and a femboy to be 'Dominated' but they also said that if we lose, they'll give your cute childhood friend contact info-" Before Ellen could finish her 100 speech, a warning blared throughout the school.
(Bzzt)
(Attention students, emergency radio report!)
(School dismissal is delayed today. All students, do not move around freely. A sudden Hollow disaster has occurred on 14th Street. The new Hollow has already exceeded Level 5 control!)
(Teachers, please manage your classes and ensure student safety to avoid unnecessary panic. Since the school is close to the location of this Hollow disaster on 14th Street, please manage your students well. Security in the entrance, watch the gate and maintain order!)
Once this message came out, Gojo and the girls frowned.
"14th Street? What's going on? Wasn't a new Hollow already formed this morning? Is this a repeat broadcast?" Rin leaned in to ask.
"Probably not. The school safety broadcasts are very strict. This must be the appearance of a second Hollow disaster" Ellen shook her head, her expression serious.
"A second Hollow?! No way! That's really terrifying!" Ruby said, then moved to hide behind Gojo.
Ellen words made Ruby turn fearful and Rin wonder about the impact two Hollows would have on the school, while Gojo looked outside the school through the window.
Two Hollows appearing in a row, and both exceeding Level 5 control! this was practically a horror story!
One appeared on 14th Street this morning, and another appeared tonight, even closer to the school!
"Is New Eridu about to change? I heard from the Hollow Investigative Association (HIA) that the Hollow ether energy has exceeded normal thresholds and is very likely to continue for some time" Monna said, thinking about the future, her breathing growing heavy and her face turning pale.
The state the two girls was not good at this moment, making Gojo frown, knowing what was going on.
Because the system notification had arrived!
(Ding! New Hollow disaster discovered. Nicole main quest has been activated. A new mission has been dispatched. Since the current Hollow is not the one set in the original plot, please defeat the Hollow boss and neutralize the Hollow. Your progress on Technique: Imaginary Purple will increase by 9%.)
(Current Hollow Technique: Purple: 31%)
(Heheh, do your job, you bum! And good luck~)
'So that means the Hollow that appeared this morning was the beginner Hollow, and this one now is just a sudden Hollow disaster. In the original game plot, the Hollows never is around Level 3, but this morning hollow report said it could go to Level 5...'
'So, I just have to take out a boss from the Hollow this morning and reduce the Hollow area, so it shouldn't be Level 5 anymore, right? Then I don't need to worry about Nicole and the others...!'
Thinking of this, the corners of Gojo mouth curled up.
Even if it's Level 4, Nicole and the others can handle it!
At a time like this, he just needs to wait for Nicole to finish her mission and come back.
'Wow, one less thing to deal with. It couldn't be any better!' Gojo thought, already imagining Bum his way through it.
(...Hah?)
The system was actually speechless, because Gojo way of thinking always deviated from the main point.
In this kind of situation, shouldn't he be worried about the Hollow status? To think he was actually trying to lie flat!
(Ding! This Hollow was generated by an ether energy anomaly from the Cretan Hollow, and its level of danger is immeasurable. Take this more seriously! you bum!)
The system couldn't take it anymore and reminded him again!
"What did you say?!" Hearing this, Gojo was so shocked he shouted out loud!
The girls beside Gojo stared at him, confused.
Noticing their questioning gaze, Gojo gave an awkward smile and waved his hands hurriedly.
"I was just startled by the Hollow anomaly from the broadcast earlier!"
"Yeah, it's definitely strange, but it's not something we should get involved in. Let's just focus on tonight game inste-" Before Rin could finish, the office door swung open, and Lucien stepped out, his face swollen like a pig!
".....Kuhahahahaha… heuk… heuk... heuk-" The second Rin saw him, she burst out laughing, clutching her stomach and bending down, struggling to breathe!
Lucien stepped out, heard it, and immediately bared his teeth like a kitten!
"You still dare to laugh? I'll let you know how tough we are during the Basketball Club game later, especially you femboy!"
The others glanced over, curious about what Rin saw. The moment they did, they turned away, smiling and struggling not to laugh.
Lucien looked at them, then fixed his gaze on Gojo, eyes burning.
"Then see you at the Basketball Club. I'll beat you guys just like our Homeroom Teacher beat you earlier" Gojo said with a crooked smile as he waved at him.
"You!" Lucien was furious and immediately wanted to attack Gojo, but before he could move, the Homeroom Teacher swept a cold, stern gaze toward him.
"Lucien, have you not learned your lesson from earlier yet?" The teacher said with a ruler high up in the sky!
"Sorry, teacher, I'm leaving right now!" Seeing the teacher follow them out, Lucien legs trembled, and he hurriedly left the scene.
After the teacher saw them leave, she looked toward Gojo and the girls.
Under her cold, stern stare, they flinched and stepped back!
"Why are you still here? There's a Hollow disaster. get to the safety hall!"
"Yes, teacher, we're going right now!" the girls replied quickly, then pulled Gojo along and hurried out of the hallway!
