Now that she knew the truth of the New Shadow Style, Miwa Kasumi would naturally not let the young girl in front of her learn it without knowing anything.
But the fact that the New Shadow Style's binding vow would drain one's lifespan was, after all, a secret that could not be casually revealed. After seeing those "secret stories" of the Jujutsu world in the diary, Miwa Kasumi no longer dared to trust the so-called Jujutsu higher-ups.
Therefore, when faced with Shinomiya Kaguya's inquiry, Miwa Kasumi hesitated for a moment, and then, on the grounds that "the binding vow of the New Shadow Style might restrict future development" and "it's better to first familiarize yourself with the situation of Jujutsu Sorcerers before making a choice," she advised Shinomiya Kaguya to consider it a little more.
Shinomiya Kaguya also felt that Miwa Kasumi seemed to have a hidden meaning in her words. It seemed this so-called "binding vow" was much stricter than she had thought, otherwise, Miwa Kasumi would not have had this reaction.
In any case, Miwa Kasumi's words had temporarily dispelled her thoughts. She prepared to wait until she had figured things out before making a decision.
Seeing that Shinomiya Kaguya was no longer talking about learning the New Shadow Style, Miwa Kasumi let out a slight sigh of relief. After all, she was not very good at lying.
And speaking of which, Miwa Kasumi seemed to have remembered something. She hurriedly began to talk to Shinomiya Kaguya about today's arrangements.
"By the way, Kaguya-san, I already spoke with Principal Gakuganji on the phone last night and mentioned your thoughts."
Originally, Miwa Kasumi's mission was to confirm Shinomiya Kaguya's talent and bring her back to Kyoto Jujutsu High.
As a result, she had indeed confirmed her talent, but because she was too relaxed, she had accidentally let slip the matter of Tokyo Jujutsu High, and had even mentioned that the current strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer was also a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
And then Shinomiya Kaguya had stated that she wanted to go to Tokyo Jujutsu High to have a look first before making a decision. To this, Miwa Kasumi could only call her principal last night with tears in her eyes to report her mistake.
Fortunately, Gakuganji Yoshinobu's side didn't seem to care much if their school would be missing one person with connections.
He had directly, on the other end of the phone, given Miwa Kasumi a plan that sounded a little difficult, and had her relay this plan to Shinomiya Kaguya.
"In other words, if I choose Kyoto Jujutsu High now, I can be admitted directly without an exam. But if I choose to go to Tokyo Jujutsu High now, even if they don't accept me, if I want to re-enter Kyoto Jujutsu High, I will have to pass your entrance exam first?"
Miwa Kasumi stammered and nodded. Regarding the matter of the entrance exam, she was relaying it according to her principal's meaning.
After all, their Jujutsu High only had so few people. They were either brought in by some big shot, or they were descendants of a Jujutsu family who were admitted directly with their Innate Technique. She had never heard of any entrance exam in the school.
But since the principal had said so, then this entrance exam should exist.
After finishing her explanation, she wiped the sweat that had appeared on her forehead, wanting to know what choice Shinomiya Kaguya would make.
She naturally hoped that she could go back to Kyoto with her directly. That way, after she went back, the principal's side probably wouldn't pursue her mistake anymore.
Although if Shinomiya Kaguya refused and still wanted to go to Tokyo High, she could also take the opportunity to meet the Gojo Satoru she had been admiring for a long time.
But she didn't want to have received such an easy out-of-town mission, only to have her subsidy deducted when she went back!
Between chasing her idol and the subsidy she used to support her family, Miwa Kasumi would still choose the latter.
However, Shinomiya Kaguya's thoughts had long since been determined.
She could naturally clearly understand the meaning of that principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High. The so-called entrance exam would probably be to give her a mission that she would most likely be unable to complete.
After all, having refused Kyoto's invitation once, and then being rejected by Tokyo Jujutsu High, Kyoto's side probably wouldn't want someone who had been rejected by their competitor.
According to the mysterious person, the future story of this Jujutsu Kaisen was clearly with Tokyo as the main stage. Not only did Tokyo Jujutsu High have the current strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer, as well as the youngest special-grade sorcerer in history, but the protagonist of the story had also clearly joined this school.
To put it bluntly, Kyoto Jujutsu High was like an experience pack specially prepared for the protagonist—Miwa Kasumi had said that the two Jujutsu Highs would hold a school exchange event every year in September for a competition.
Shinomiya Kaguya, who had been specially reading some of the mainstream manga and light novels on the market recently, felt that that so-called protagonist would definitely be able to shine in this exchange event and show his talent.
And then at the end of October would be that "Shibuya Incident," and that so-called strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer would also be cut in half by the revived Sukuna. The strengthened protagonist should also play his part in that battle.
Although the mysterious person had said that the ending plot of the manga was very abstract, judging from the meaning in the diary, that Sukuna should have still been defeated by the protagonist group in some way in the end.
Shinomiya Kaguya thought to herself.
Since she knew these things, how could she be willing to join a foil school that was destined to be used as a stepping stone for the protagonist?
At worst, I'll just continue to be the student council president at Shuchi'in.
After all, even if my ability is not good, isn't there still Miko?
As the only girl among the first batch of diary holders who had awakened her Yin-Yang Eyes before getting the diary, Shinomiya Kaguya still had high expectations for Yotsuya Miko.
With the connection between them as diary holders, as long as Miko could be admitted by Tokyo Jujutsu High, then the things she learned there could soon become the common knowledge of everyone in the group.
And so, Shinomiya Kaguya did not hesitate much. "Let's go to Tokyo Jujutsu High first. After all, I have a rather special friend who also wants to go with me."
"Ah?" Miwa Kasumi was even more surprised.
How is there another person? The school didn't tell me.
Shinomiya Kaguya also had someone bring Yotsuya Miko over to meet Miwa Kasumi.
Originally, she had wanted to have Hayasaka Ai pick up Yotsuya Miko last night and have her stay at her house for a night.
But ever since awakening her Yin-Yang Eyes, Yotsuya Miko had become a little unable to accept going out at night.
After all, although there were many vengeful spirits during the day, they would still avoid the sun a little, and their numbers would not be that many.
But at night, it was truly a case of being able to run into several creepy big guys just by casually going out.
In addition, Yotsuya Miko also had to pack her own luggage, so the time was changed to this morning.
And during breakfast, Miwa Kasumi, who was enjoying a high-class breakfast that she had only heard of but never truly tasted, met the somewhat shy-looking Yotsuya Miko.
Miwa Kasumi looked at this young girl with some hesitation.
Her life force was not bad, but it was only a little better than an ordinary girl of the same age, far from reaching the level of Shinomiya Kaguya.
As for spiritual power fluctuations... anyway, Miwa Kasumi couldn't feel any sense of spiritual power from her at all.
If it were a normal spiritual power user, they should be able to feel it when they were being observed with cursed energy.
But the other party still didn't feel anything, just greeted Shinomiya Kaguya and her with some restraint.
Is this the girl who is said to have suddenly awakened high-level Yin-Yang Eyes and is easily entangled by vengeful spirits?
Could it be that Shinomiya Kaguya has been deceived?
After all, she had simply confirmed Shinomiya Kaguya's situation. Although she could awaken spiritual power with the help of that Godly Mother of Shitamachi, she had not yet chosen to enter the final step in order to accumulate her own potential.
So the current Shinomiya Kaguya, under normal circumstances, should not be able to see those vengeful spirits and cursed spirits.
Thinking of this, a scrutinizing look appeared in Miwa Kasumi's eyes as she looked at Yotsuya Miko, wanting to find out if this Yin-Yang Eye of hers was real or fake.
Yotsuya Miko was originally a little unaccustomed to coming to Shinomiya Kaguya's house for the first time, and especially now, seeing that the girl from Jujutsu High was staring at her with such a suspicious look, it made her even more uncomfortable.
Shinomiya Kaguya naturally could not doubt the authenticity of Yotsuya Miko.
The mysterious person had certified it, Miko herself had admitted it, and the Godly Mother of Shitamachi could also confirm that although Miko couldn't feel the slightest bit of spiritual power, she did indeed have a pair of rather "amazing" eyes.
Therefore, she took the initiative to chat with Yotsuya Miko, easing her discomfort.
And after Yotsuya Miko sat down, Miwa Kasumi also asked her about the appearance of the vengeful spirits she had seen.
After asking a few questions, and Miko being able to accurately describe their appearance and characteristics, Miwa Kasumi had to admit that at least in her description, there were no problems.
In fact, when Miko mentioned that she had to face the constant questioning of those vengeful spirits and had to suppress her own fear to pretend she couldn't see anything, that genuine emotion was completely unlike an act.
Miko almost let slip the matter of the diary here, but the blocking mechanism between the two sides made it so that Miwa Kasumi did not notice any problem.
"Having not awakened spiritual power, but possessing high-level Yin-Yang Eyes, I've never heard of such a thing," Miwa Kasumi frowned and thought for a long time, and in the end, still shook her head, indicating that she really had never heard of such a situation.
Anyway, with her ability, she couldn't tell if what this Yotsuya Miko was saying was true or false.
"But we're going to Tokyo Jujutsu High later. Whether it's the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High or that Gojo Satoru, they are all people with wide knowledge. They will definitely be clear about your current situation!"
To this, Miwa Kasumi was very confident.
And Yotsuya Miko also had a look of anticipation in her eyes.
...
"Have you really awakened the Yin-Yang Eyes? I can't tell at all."
Looking at the man with an eyepatch in front of her, who was sizing her up, even though she couldn't feel his gaze, Yotsuya Miko still felt a sense of restlessness.
Miwa Kasumi on the side was looking at that man with sparkling eyes, frantically reminding herself not to lose her composure in front of her idol.
At the very least, she had to wait until after the two girls she had brought had gone in for their interview.
Therefore, Miwa Kasumi was now doing the explaining, telling the Gojo Satoru in front of her about Yotsuya Miko's situation.
They had been in the car for more than an hour, driving from the center of Tokyo all the way to a barren mountain in the suburbs, before they had arrived at this Jujutsu High.
And then, when they were explaining the situation to the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High, they had run into the just-woken and still-yawning Gojo Satoru.
Then Miwa Kasumi had recognized him at a glance and had greeted him enthusiastically, which had made Gojo Satoru notice them.
After hearing that Shinomiya Kaguya was first noticed by the Kyoto side but wanted to come to Tokyo Jujutsu High more, this strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer showed a matter-of-fact look.
"After all, the homeroom teacher for the first years this year is me. It's only natural that she would choose my side."
Just one sentence, combined with his loud laughter, made Shinomiya Kaguya realize that this guy's personality seemed a bit flighty and malicious.
She could even somewhat foresee why the mysterious person had written in the diary that after this strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer had died in battle, none of his disciples had mourned him.
But on the surface, Shinomiya Kaguya was still very polite.
And after that, it was Gojo Satoru staring at this girl, Yotsuya Miko, who looked nothing special on the outside, and asking her the reason for coming over.
However, under Yotsuya Miko's expectant gaze, Gojo Satoru sized her up carefully for a good while, and in the end, still spread his hands, indicating that he also didn't know.
This attitude of directly stating that he didn't know not only made Yotsuya Miko feel a wave of disappointment, but even Miwa Kasumi, his little fangirl, was somewhat dumbfounded.
"But, aren't you the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer? How could you possibly not know?"
"Ya, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer is not omniscient," Gojo Satoru waved his hand casually, indicating that he was not the strongest in terms of knowledge.
"After all, the period of mysterious decline lasted for more than a century, and the revival has only been in the last twenty years," Gojo Satoru said, using his fingers to count as he spoke.
"In these hundred-plus years, the total number of humans has jumped from over a billion to over seven billion."
"Logically speaking, the number of us supernatural beings should also have increased by six or seven times, but in reality, the number of supernatural beings on the hidden world's side is quite a bit less than a hundred years ago."
"Perhaps to make up for this missing hundred years, since the mysterious revival, all sorts of ability users who have never appeared before have also become more numerous. For example, you, and for example, this young lady with a problem with her eyes."
As Gojo Satoru said this, he first pointed at Shinomiya Kaguya, indicating that he could see the special power born from her breathing, and then pointed at Yotsuya Miko's eyes.
Although he indeed could not feel any spiritual power, after careful observation, he could still feel a trace of an imperceptible, unknown power from her eyes.
He continued to joke with the few girls, "Speaking of which, if it were a hundred years ago, you people who have obtained supernatural powers that have never appeared before, after entering the hidden world, if it were discovered that your powers could not be inherited, then there would be a high probability that a certain Magus' Association would issue a 'Sealing Designation' order, and then capture you to be soaked in formaldehyde."
Seeing the looks of resistance on the two girls' faces, he then clapped his hands with a smile on his face. "Just kidding. That association suffered particularly heavy losses during the period of mysterious decline. It can be said that their situation is four or five times worse than our Jujutsu world. Until now, those old guys haven't even sorted out their own magical philosophies, so they have no mind to be doing any Sealing Designations."
Gojo Satoru casually talked about these secrets of other forces, and then realized that these two girls had not yet enrolled, so he waved at them again.
"Weren't you going to see the principal? I'll take you over. Maybe I can even say a few good words for you then. After all, I'd also quite like to have two more cute girls in my class."
