Although Yotsuya Miko had already heard a lot about Miyauchi Hikage in the chat group.
The invisible genius male supporting character in a cute-girls-doing-cute-things manga, who created several internet celebrity accounts with millions of followers single-handedly, turning the small rural village of Asahigaoka into a famous online check-in spot.
Having "ambiguous" relationships with multiple diary holders, helping Shiina Mashiro adjust her breathing style, completing his supernatural awakening, and going to another world to save a giant dragon from another world.
Clearly, the other party was the same age as her, but none of the things he did were things Yotsuya Miko had ever thought of.
Especially after guessing that ghosts might exist in this world, he was bold enough to take people to those "haunted houses" to film supernatural videos.
For such a genius, Yotsuya Miko felt some admiration and respect in her heart.
Unlike her, whose first reaction was to escape when she had problems with her eyes, causing her to miss out on nearly half a month's reading value income. Thinking about it now, Yotsuya Miko felt a little regretful.
After all, the other girls in the chat group had unlocked the commission module ten days ago and started earning extra reading value by completing commissions, while she had to wait another week to unlock this function.
If she had confirmed the diary's content earlier, she should have become a formal jujutsu sorcerer by now.
However, it was precisely because she was already a big step behind the other girls at the starting point that, after luckily joining Jujutsu High relying on the eyes she once despised and even feared, she was the most diligent cultivator in the school.
She just wanted to become a jujutsu sorcerer as soon as possible, possess the ability to protect herself, and then figure out what was wrong with her eyes little by little.
Then, when she woke up this morning, she saw Shinomiya Kaguya, who had left Tokyo a few days ago to find that Yushiro Yamamoto, followed the clues all the way to the former Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and should have been studying breathing there these days, suddenly announced in the group that she had gone to meet Tohru and Miyauchi Hikage.
Then the group chat suddenly became lively early in the morning.
After all, everyone knew that Miyauchi Hikage was a hot commodity now, and they were also aware of the relationship between Shiina Mashiro, Honma Meiko, and Miyauchi Hikage.
Including Kasumigaoka Utaha, those in the group who were interested in Miyauchi Hikage thought they could get to know him through their relationship with Shiina Mashiro and Honma Meiko.
As for Tohru, everyone remained calm, knowing that they would need to know Miyauchi Hikage first before making long-term plans to get to know this dragon girl.
Who knew that Shinomiya Kaguya would be so unethical, sneaking off to meet Miyauchi Hikage in secret.
Shinomiya Kaguya was originally quite frank. Facing everyone's inquiries, she said with a clear conscience that the Shinomiya Zaibatsu had discovered the potential of online videos in the future and wanted to get in touch with related industries. She just happened to find that there was an idea within the conglomerate to invest in Asahigaoka Media, so she went over to contact Miyauchi Hikage and discuss breathing styles by the way.
It wasn't until the "innocent" Shiina Mashiro accidentally posted the screenshot Miyauchi Hikage sent her to the group that the discussion in the group became even more lively.
The screenshot showed Miyauchi Hikage thanking Shiina Mashiro for the scrolls Shinomiya Kaguya brought him and the Nichirin Blade she was going to gift him. He was currently studying the principles of Sun Breathing and the Transparent World, and he would repay and thank Shinomiya Kaguya after he fully mastered Sun Breathing.
This was nothing originally, but Shinomiya Kaguya had mentioned in the chat group before that the Transparent World she obtained was only an incomplete fragment, and she would post it to the group after she studied it for a while. As for the Nichirin Blade, because of the materials, she couldn't produce more for the time being, so everyone didn't care much.
Then, seeing that Shinomiya Kaguya took all these to build a good relationship with Miyauchi Hikage, the girls in the group immediately sensed that Shinomiya Kaguya's attitude towards Miyauchi Hikage didn't seem as innocent as she claimed.
However, since this was her private matter, Kasumigaoka Utaha only cursed her as a thieving cat in her heart, and still maintained her usual speech in the group, even explaining a few words for Shinomiya Kaguya.
But if someone could run into Kasumigaoka Utaha's room now, they would see Kasumigaoka Utaha gnashing her teeth facing her phone screen.
As the initiator of all this, Shiina Mashiro continued to maintain her usual silly and sweet persona. She answered "truthfully" whatever others asked, continuing to solidify her image as a scheming-free little white flower.
She just posted the picture Miyauchi Hikage sent her to the group according to his request. What bad intentions could she have?
Being stabbed in the back so suddenly was the reason why Shinomiya Kaguya had been silent all morning.
But depressed as she was, Shinomiya Kaguya still thought very clearly.
She immediately praised Miyauchi Hikage's kendo talent, mastering Water Breathing in ten minutes the first time he held a sword, and understanding the principles of Sun Breathing in an hour.
After discovering Miyauchi Hikage's talent, she decided to gift the Nichirin Blade and the Transparent World scrolls to Miyauchi Hikage together, so that Miyauchi Hikage, who mastered these things, could guide everyone in the group in the future.
Finally re-consolidating her position in the group, and after the liveliness in the group subsided, Shinomiya Kaguya immediately sent a private message to Yotsuya Miko, asking her to come and welcome Miyauchi Hikage later, to brush up some favorability and leave an impression on Miyauchi Hikage first.
Shinomiya Kaguya's idea was simple. Except for Honma Meiko and Shiina Mashiro, who was obviously closer to Miyauchi Hikage, most girls in the group didn't have much contact with the inner world.
Her biggest ally now was actually Yotsuya Miko, who entered Jujutsu High with her. She would also be an important helper for her in the future.
Now helping Yotsuya Miko get to know Miyauchi Hikage would only benefit her.
Yotsuya Miko didn't think much of it either. After all, this was a connection Shinomiya Kaguya pulled for her. It would be enough to meet a genius like Miyauchi Hikage and exchange contact information.
She thought she would go back to continue her cultivation after getting to know him.
But after meeting and taking him around Jujutsu High, she found that the situation seemed a bit wrong.
Shinomiya Kaguya had actually come to Jujutsu High quite often during this period. Usually, she was busy with the early election at Shuchiin during the day, and took time to come to Jujutsu High for remedial classes at night and on weekends.
But after all, Shinomiya Kaguya wasn't like her, who had completely transferred to Jujutsu High and solved her daily needs here.
Her familiarity with Jujutsu High was indeed higher than Shinomiya Kaguya's.
Originally, Panda-senpai was supposed to introduce these things, but who knew that Miyauchi Hikage suddenly asked her about her feelings about Jujutsu High as a new student.
Panda, a Cursed Corpse who had grown up in Jujutsu High since gaining consciousness, naturally had nothing to say.
So under Miyauchi Hikage's subtle guidance, Yotsuya Miko, who had been cultivating hard recently and hadn't found anyone to vent her inner emotions to for a long time, unknowingly poured out her true thoughts during this period in front of Miyauchi Hikage.
It wasn't until Shinomiya Kaguya's face behind them became more and more subtle, and they were eating in the cafeteria of Jujutsu High at noon, that Yotsuya Miko suddenly realized that she seemed to be too engrossed in chatting with Miyauchi Hikage, and had ignored the fact that Shinomiya Kaguya hadn't spoken for a while.
Yotsuya Miko wasn't a green tea bitch after all. After realizing her overly intimate attitude towards Miyauchi Hikage on their first meeting, she immediately felt embarrassed.
Miyauchi Hikage quickly realized Yotsuya Miko's mindset, so he simply covered up the awkwardness for her, and chatted briefly with Shinomiya Kaguya and Panda about his feelings towards Jujutsu High.
Hearing that Miyauchi Hikage felt the atmosphere at Jujutsu High was good, and even if he didn't join Jujutsu High, he wanted to come here to take some missions in the future, Shinomiya Kaguya, although caring a little about being given the cold shoulder all morning, was mostly happy in her heart.
Miyauchi Hikage probably just wanted to know the real situation of Jujutsu High, so he kept talking to Yotsuya Miko, who knew Jujutsu High better, about these things.
After all, she had talked a lot about Jujutsu High with Miyauchi Hikage these past few days. It was nothing to care about if he wanted to confirm with others.
It could only be said that Yotsuya Miko was still young after all, and didn't know the problem of talking deeply with shallow acquaintances. After chatting a few words with Miyauchi Hikage, she poured her heart out to him.
And Miyauchi Hikage probably responded with a sincere attitude because of her sincere attitude.
Shinomiya Kaguya knew that it was probably difficult for her to communicate with others with such a sincere attitude, so after hearing Miyauchi Hikage's thoughts, she quickly suppressed the little strange emotion in her heart.
She had intended for Miyauchi Hikage and Yotsuya Miko to become friends. Now that the two were getting familiar, she should be happy.
However, Shinomiya Kaguya vaguely felt that something seemed wrong.
After simply eating in the cafeteria of Jujutsu High, Panda, knowing Miyauchi Hikage's attitude, quickly pulled him to get an entry pass.
The old man had told it when contacting it to find a way to keep Miyauchi Hikage. If he wanted to enroll, just pass him directly.
Although he didn't plan to enroll now, getting an entry pass meant that as long as he came to Jujutsu High often to take missions in the future, over time, he would also be considered one of their own at Jujutsu High.
After privately running to the principal's office and stamping the pass for Miyauchi Hikage with the school seal, it briefly told Miyauchi Hikage some relevant matters.
Although in the Jujutsu world, the certification of a jujutsu sorcerer's grade was completely decided by the Jujutsu higher-ups. Without their consent, even if you had the strength of a special-grade sorcerer, you couldn't get the certification of a high-grade sorcerer.
Of course, generally speaking, if one didn't court death too much, the Jujutsu higher-ups wouldn't block these things.
If one could repel or kill a Cursed Spirit of a certain grade alone, the Jujutsu higher-ups would arrange the corresponding certification after a little pulling.
Miyauchi Hikage had no combat record now, so naturally, he had no certification.
In other words, even if he wanted to take exorcism missions at Jujutsu High now, he could only take those lowly patrol missions.
The content was simple, even no different from the content of the videos he was filming now, just patrolling places with ghost rumors and where negative emotions easily gathered, confirming that no formed Cursed Spirits or vengeful spirits had appeared locally.
Of course, the rewards for these commissions were also touching. At best, it was earning more than working part-time at a convenience store. If there was anything better than working part-time at a convenience store, it was that the rewards obtained from completing commissions here could be exchanged for some special materials not sold in the outer world.
"After a while, Miyauchi-kun, you can take some commissions to exorcise low-level Cursed Spirits. The rewards for these commissions are also the main source of income for those jujutsu sorcerers."
After Panda finished talking about this step-by-step normal monster-fighting and upgrading process, it paused, and then mentioned another way to take those exorcism commissions in advance.
That was to prove his strength at Jujutsu High.
This was also another thing Panda was instructed by the old man—even if Miyauchi Hikage was unwilling to stay, find a way to figure out his current strength and know what his ability was.
Although Gojo Satoru had told Yaga Masamichi about Miyauchi Hikage's awakened ability being related to "fate" after returning, just "fate" was a bit too confusing.
And whose fate ability awakens by taking people to teleport?!
In short, test this boy praised by Gojo Satoru a little to see what he's got.
"So Miyauchi-kun, do you want to come and test your strength in actual combat? We can start testing from the level of a Grade 4 sorcerer," Panda politely pointed to Zenin Maki, who had offended the Zenin family and was suppressed by the Jujutsu higher-ups as a Grade 4 sorcerer.
As soon as this sentence came out, Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko's faces immediately became subtle.
Zenin Maki was indeed nominally a Grade 4 sorcerer, but how could she really be a Grade 4 sorcerer?
In fact, she could easily exorcise Grade 2 Cursed Spirits relying solely on taijutsu, and had the strength of a semi-Grade 1. Let alone among students, even in the entire Jujutsu world, she was considered an excellent jujutsu sorcerer.
Letting Miyauchi Hikage, who had just awakened not long ago, fight her, wasn't it a bit too bullying?
But before Yotsuya Miko could express her concern, Miyauchi Hikage nodded first.
Having used the characteristics of the Pure Yang Body to bully those Grade 2 and 3 vengeful spirits these days, he indeed wanted to see what level he could reach when facing normal supernatural beings using only card magic and his own body under normal circumstances.
