Time flew by, and in a blink, it was 2017.
Originally, in this year, Yuta Okkotsu would have been sentenced to death.
Then Gojo Satoru would have saved him and he would have joined the High School.
However, in this timeline, Rika Orimoto did not die in the car accident.
Instead, she dented the front of the car.
Rika Orimoto herself, protected by a cursed tool, was flung over ten meters by the car.
Then, to everyone's stunned expressions, she pounced into Yuta Okkotsu's arms, asking for a hug and comfort.
At first, Yuta Okkotsu nervously felt all over Rika Orimoto, checking if Rika Orimoto was injured.
Later, he was startled awake by the sound of a phone camera behind him.
Because he had already been exposed to the Jujutsu World through Eichi and knew the Jujutsu secrecy principle, he picked up Rika Orimoto and ran.
Rika Orimoto was unharmed and did not transform into a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
Therefore, Yuta Okkotsu had not been as gloomy in the past few years as he originally was.
Instead, he had become much more cheerful and lively with Rika Orimoto by his side.
This April, Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto will enroll together at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Also enrolling are Panda, Inumaki Toge, Mai, and Maki.
Mai, having been studying with Heroic Spirit Emiya and Medea, naturally enrolled in Tokyo Jujutsu High this time.
Miwa Kasumi, as before, joined Kyoto Jujutsu High under the recommendation of Shinkage-ryu.
Eichi did not object to this, as Yūkichi was also at Kyoto Jujutsu High.
Eichi felt there was no need to break up this true love.
Thus, the number of students in this cohort at Tokyo Jujutsu High reached six.
Having so many students in one grade is already a rare occurrence... On the High School training ground.
The weather in March was still a bit cold.
Therefore, the High School students were all dressed warmly.
On the training ground, Kinji Hakari and Maki were sprinting at full speed on the track.
"You're really amazing, Maki."
Kinji Hakari watched Maki run faster and faster, gradually leaving him behind.
Even though his body was very tired at this moment, Kinji Hakari still accelerated again.
Kinji Hakari could feel a "passion" for strength in Maki.
And what Kinji Hakari loved most was this feeling of passion.
Therefore, Kinji Hakari did not want to lose to Maki.
But unfortunately, in terms of pure physical strength, Kinji Hakari was completely no match for Maki.
So, as expected, he didn't catch up in the end.
"Huff, huff, you two, huff, wait for me."
Long after Kinji Hakari and Maki had finished running.
When the two were already wiping sweat and rehydrating on a bench next to the sports field.
Kirara Hoshi barely managed to finish the distance required for this physical education class.
"You still need to exercise, Kirara."
Kinji Hakari smiled and patted Kirara Hoshi's somewhat slender shoulder.
Kirara Hoshi, who was panting non-stop and resting his hands on his knees, almost fell over from the pat.
"Stop it, be gentler with your comrades, Little Kin."
Kirara Hoshi pouted and complained.
"And that guy, you haven't even enrolled yet, why are you running with us?"
Kirara Hoshi looked at Maki curiously.
Unlike the cutely dressed Kirara Hoshi, Maki gave off a cooler impression.
"I'm just doing my daily workout."
Maki put the empty bottle back into his bag and said without raising his head.
Kirara Hoshi was speechless; he, being cute, couldn't understand why someone would do this exhausting training every day, and even enjoy it.
"It seems you're not passionate enough, Kirara."
Compared to Kirara Hoshi's confusion, Kinji Hakari, who had already taken off his jacket and was wearing only a vest, radiating heat, understood Maki better.
"Little Kin."
Kirara Hoshi looked at Kinji Hakari with a speechless expression.
"Hmm?"
"You look like you just came from a construction site."
Kirara Hoshi quipped.
"Do I?"
Kinji Hakari tilted his head.
"You're here, Maki."
A sudden voice attracted everyone's attention.
Eichi, dressed in a High School uniform and holding a white long-handled umbrella, appeared not far from them.
"It's you. Why are you wearing this today?"
In Maki's impression, Eichi usually dressed very casually.
"After all, I'm also affiliated with the High School. I plan to come back this year and experience what it's like to be a teacher."
Eichi said as if it were the most natural thing.
"Being a teacher?"
Several figures appeared in Maki's mind.
Kusakabe Atsuya, who was somewhat serious during class but ran faster than the students once class was over.
Gojo Satoru, who taught seriously but always managed to make the students' CPUs smoke.
Toji Fushiguro, who believed that "preaching is useless; broken bones are the best textbook."
Actually, Toji Fushiguro just didn't know how to teach, because no one had ever taught him in his life.
Toji Fushiguro's skills were all learned through countless battles and injuries.
Therefore, he only knew this teaching method.
But even Yaga Masamichi admitted that students grew very quickly with this teaching method, provided Shoko Ieiri was always nearby... After reviewing the current teachers at the High School in his mind, Maki realized that Eichi, who usually only had a nominal affiliation and was rarely seen, actually seemed the most like a teacher.
After all, Eichi was nominally her and Mai's guardian.
So they actually spent quite a lot of time together.
While Maki was thinking about Eichi's sudden return as a teaching assistant.
Eichi was also observing Kinji Hakari.
Kinji Hakari.
The man with the most "luck with women" in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen series.
The two cutest girls in the entire show couldn't escape his grasp.
Kirara Hoshi was one.
Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi were classmates, and later, after being suspended, they eloped to open a casino.
Uraume was the other.
From the start of the battle to gang up on Sukuna, Kinji Hakari had been entangled with Uraume.
It hasn't ended even now.
Some people even drew fan art of Uraume playing together with Kinji Hakari after being conquered by him.
One can only say that Kinji Hakari indeed has considerable luck with women.
Incidentally, Uraume's incarnated body is named Himi Shiori, and from the name, you know she's a cute little girl.
However, the most interesting thing is Kinji Hakari's Domain.
Idle Death Gamble.
After hitting the jackpot, he gains a nearly invincible state for 251 seconds.
During these 251 seconds, Kinji Hakari's Cursed Energy is infinite, and his Reverse Cursed Technique automatically operates, healing all of Kinji Hakari's injuries.
"Bet everything on these 251 seconds." jpg
Most importantly, during the Domain, Kinji Hakari's Cursed Energy is infinite.
So after the Domain ends, Kinji Hakari has enough Cursed Energy to deploy a second Domain.
It's truly a gambler's temporary high, and a continuous gamble means continuous highs.
I remember not long after Kinji Hakari appeared, there was already the meme, "No child cries every day, no gambler loses every day."
"So you came to find me just to say that?"
Maki swung his bag over his shoulder.
"Not really."
Eichi shook his head.
"I mainly came this time because I need your help with a cursed tool testing mission."
Saying this, Eichi held up the cursed tool in his hand, which was predominantly white and resembled an umbrella.
"cursed tool testing? Shouldn't you be asking Mai for that?"
"She'll be with you."
