Chapter 1 Soma Josuke
It is now November 2016. The autumn leaves have fallen and the gradually cooling breeze heralds the arrival of winter.
At the entrance of Sakura High School in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, a girl wearing glasses was waving her slender right hand at a silver-haired boy.
"See you tomorrow, Souma-kun."
Looking at the girl who was saying goodbye to him, Soma Josuke responded politely:
"Well, see you tomorrow, future classmate."
The girl who was called the future was stunned for a moment, seemed a little surprised by the title, and turned and ran away.
It's not that he intended to bring the two closer together, he just had no choice.
He is actually a time traveler. The original owner's name is Soma Josuke. He is sixteen years old and a first-year student at Sakura High School.
His academic performance is average and he looks only slightly more handsome than others. He is just an ordinary high school student.
The short brown-haired girl who greeted him was the only classmate in the class with whom he had a good relationship.
Unfortunately, perhaps due to the time travel, Soma Josuke's memory became a little dislocated and blurred, and he couldn't even remember the last name of his future classmate.
As for the reason for the time travel, he himself didn't know.
Originally, he was enjoying the weekend comfortably at home, reading comics and swimming in a group, when suddenly the world spun around and he came into this world.
The necessary conditions for time travel described in novels and comics, such as being hit by an out-of-control truck while crossing the sidewalk, or being stabbed to death by a random killer on the road, do not apply to him at all.
As for the original owner, it is relatively simple.
According to previous memories, the original owner had not slept for a long time, and every night he desperately drank refreshing drinks to keep himself from falling asleep.
Finally, the fatigue that had accumulated over several days burst out in a Chinese class, and he just fell asleep.
Maybe he achieved enlightenment through cultivation and ascended to heaven directly.
But he, the time traveler, was in trouble.
The teacher who was teaching the class was notoriously concerned about his reputation. Even students who were unwilling to learn would not bore themselves in his class. A blatant provocation like the original owner had already angered this bald middle-aged man.
However, this teacher still had some professional ethics. He did not lose his temper on the spot, but just woke him up. He did not call Soma Josuke to the counseling room until the get out of class was over.
He also didn't expect that almost seven years after graduating from high school, he still had to be educated in the counseling room.
If he hadn't used various methods to make sure he wasn't dreaming before the get out of class ended, he might have just slapped the teacher and then jumped off the building.
Just like that, he had no choice but to accept the fact of traveling through time and became the current Soma Josuke.
Soma's home was in Ukyo Ward, not too far from the school, and he quickly returned to his empty home.
The original owner's parents died in a car accident when he was 14 years old, leaving behind a considerable inheritance and only an adopted sister.
His younger sister Yui and he are both in the first year of high school at Sakura High School, but she has a club, so she hasn't come back yet.
He has a sister and a house, and his parents are both dead. His previous life was basically the same except that he didn't have a sister.
He occasionally fantasized about whether a girl named Lin Daiyu would fall from the sky, but it was just imagination. He didn't expect that this day would suddenly come.
So, you still have to have dreams, maybe they will come true.
Returning to the strange yet familiar room, he began to learn about the world from the Internet. After all, there really is everything on the Internet.
There wasn't much difference between this place and his previous world, and the level of civilization was similar.
This made him doubt more and more what he was doing in this world. Should he continue to live with a different identity?
Time passed quickly and before he knew it, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. In addition to looking up various information, he also took the time to cook some simple meals.
After his parents passed away, the original owner had been doing the housework. It wasn't because he wanted to take on the responsibility of taking care of his sister, but it was just an excuse for not participating in club activities.
The original owner had almost no social skills and didn't have many friends. I really don't know why he had a good relationship with that cute girl named Future.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of a key turning at the door.
"I'm back~"
Soma Josuke responded almost instinctively: "Welcome back."
Although I already knew what my sister Yui looked like, seeing her with my own eyes was another matter entirely.
With a limited vocabulary, he could only describe the girl in front of him as ordinary.
Ordinary long hair, ordinary face, ordinary facial features…except for the curves that a girl should have, everything is so ordinary.
"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing, let's eat."
This was the first time he heard such a name in real life since he was born, and it made him feel a little elated.
Dinner time was over quickly, and he lay quietly on the bed thinking about everything that happened today, but it still felt unreal.
The time travel restored his soul to new vigor, but the physical fatigue soon made him fall asleep.
The night passed quickly.
Soma Josuke opened his sleepy eyes and saw the ceiling of the Soma family again. He felt a little disappointed and a little relieved.
There was a note left by Yui in the living room, saying that she would ask for leave for him. In the morning, no matter how we called him, he wouldn't wake up. If he hadn't been snoring, we would have almost called an ambulance.
It was almost dusk outside, and he didn't know why he slept for so long…
Suddenly, he had a headache and Soma Josuke discovered that there was suddenly something called a system in his head.
"system?"
Perhaps hearing the call, a translucent panel appeared in front of Soma Josuke.
[Host: Soma Josuke]
Age: 16
[Strength: E, Agility: E, Stamina: E, Curse Power: ? ]
[Spell: None]
[Mantra: None]
Spell power, spells, spell tools…
When he saw these words, the first thing he thought of was the comic book called "Jujutsu Kaisen" that he was reading before he traveled through time.
A very absurd guess could not help but emerge in my mind: he traveled through time because he read comics, and he is now in the world of curse.
He remembered that in this world, sorcerers used cursed power to exorcise monsters called cursed spirits.
Cursed power comes from people's negative emotions. Except for some special cases, almost everyone has cursed power.
Ordinary people have less cursed energy, and they cannot keep the cursed energy in their bodies. The leakage of cursed energy will create monsters called curse spirits, but they themselves cannot see the curse spirits, which is a bit ironic.
"Ding Dong~"
Soma Josuke, who was recalling the setting of this comic, suddenly heard a crisp doorbell.
Soma Josuke looked at the time and felt a little strange. It was only about 5pm, who would come to his house at this time?
With some doubts, he opened the door and a familiar figure appeared before him.
"Josuke-kun, since you didn't come to school today, I helped you organize today's class materials."
Mirai, with rosy cheeks, stretched out her hands and handed a notebook to him, but Soma Josuke did not look happy at all. Instead, he looked somewhere with an unpleasant expression.
