Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King

Kyoto Technical High School.

The principal's office.

"In the rating of magicians, 'special grade' is an extraordinary existence that is out of the conventional evaluation system."

"Therefore, in my opinion, 'first grade' should be the main force to guide other magicians and even the entire magic world forward."

On the office chair.

Yoshinobu Rakuganji's eyes were condensed, and he was serious.

In front of the desk.

Aoi Toudou folded his arms across his chest, and Meimei stood with his hands behind his back.

"In terms of danger, confidentiality, and salary, they are all worlds apart from magicians below 'quasi-first grade'."

"And on this basis, you actually-"

Yoshinobu Rakuganji paused, and Meimei and Aoi Toudou took over the conversation.

"Zenin Shinei, Panda."

"And my brother, Ichigo Yuki (and my brother Yuji Itadori), in the name of the 'first-level' magician Aoi Toudou and--"

"In the name of the 'first-level' magician Meimei,"

"Recommend the above three students to become 'first-level' magicians!" ×2

This is over.

Table tennis room.

"Those recommended by at least two 'first-level' magicians must complete multiple tasks with the current 'first-level' or 'first-level' magician."

"If it is judged that they are qualified, they will be upgraded to 'quasi-first-level' and then assigned to complete 'first-level' tasks alone."

"Depending on the results of the tasks, it will be decided whether they will officially become 'first-level' magicians."

"Brother will definitely accept the recommendation." Aoi Toudou was full of confidence: "Do you know what this means? Ms. Mei!"

Aoi Toudou served with a forehand, and Meimei spun and hit the ball: "What's the meaning or not, this is all, Mr. Toudou!"

Bang!

The white ping-pong ball rotated at high speed.

When it reached the bottom right corner of the opposite table, it suddenly turned and bounced to the right!

Toudou Aoi instantly backhanded and hit it with an air burst. When the whole ball touched the table, it exploded and sunken directly, and finally stuck to the table on Mingming's side, making her completely lose the chance to catch the ball.

"Blue future."

Toudou Aoi stroked the racket in her hand, squinting and said with emotion: "This means that there is a blue future where Toudou Aoi and Itadori Yuji go to complete the task together."

"This..." Mingming was thinking about something.

But Toudou Aoi interrupted with confidence: "No need to say more, I know you want to say that the "first-level" magician who is traveling with me may not be me."

"But I am sure of it!"

Said.

Toudou Aoi took out a brand new ping-pong ball from her pocket and let it fall freely onto the table: "Just like an apple that falls off a branch will fall to the ground, we are attracting each other."

"Do you believe in 'gravity'? Ms. Ming."

"That's right!"

"That's it--"

"Destiny!"

Toudou Aoi served the ball with great force, without any twists and turns, only the purest violence!

Mingming changed her strategy and used the same miracle-making method to hit the ball at a low angle with all her strength, while reminding her lightly:

"No, what I want to say is--"

"The only magicians who can travel with the recommended person are magicians other than the recommender~"

Mingming finished speaking.

"Eh?!"

Toudou Aoi's originally philosophical smile instantly withered into an expression pack of facial expressions, her eyes lost their brilliance, and her face was sunken by the high-speed ping-pong ball, and she fell down with a bang.

Bang——

"We are the ones who recommended Yuji, so the one who will be traveling with him must be a magician other than the two of us. It has nothing to do with fate~"

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go first, Mr. Toudou."

Pah!

The lights in the table tennis room went out.

The sadness in Toudou Aoi's heart at this moment was enough to turn into a river.

…

After separating from Yuji Yuji and others, Kugisaki Nobara first bought two sets of underwear, as the original ones were no longer suitable.

Then she bought a cup of pearl milk tea at "Tokyo Young Lady", a beverage chain under the recently popular consortium B.

At this moment.

She was walking alone on the street, holding two paper packaging bags in one hand, enjoying the sweetness of milk tea and the softness of pearls.

The mid-heeled shoes tapped lightly on the floor tiles, making a tapping sound.

Suddenly.

A burst of hurried footsteps approached from behind, and Kugisaki Nobara subconsciously turned back.

"!!"

But then.

A tall girl who was a whole head taller than her, with her hands folded over her chest, was staring at her with a coy expression.

"Just now..."

"Were you with Yuji-san?" The girl blushed and asked in a low voice.

"Huh?"

Kugisaki Nobara was so shocked that she took a big sip of milk tea and tilted her head in confusion.After a while.

『Tokyo Young Lady』.

Chain store No. 139 in the 20th district.

"Welcome~"

The maid at the door bowed respectfully to the two girls who came in.

"A cup of watermelon water with full sugar and lots of ice." Kugisaki Nobara walked to the counter to order, and suddenly turned back to look at the tall girl behind her and asked, "Would you like to have a cup too? I'll treat you."

Ozawa Yuko lowered her head and shook her head: "Thank you, but I'm losing weight recently, so I won't need it."

"Oh =="

"Then just order a cup of watermelon water."

Kugisaki Nobara confirmed with the receptionist at the counter.

"Hi! A cup of signature watermelon water with full sugar and little ice, right?"

"Um =="

"Okay, a total of 80 yuan, would you like to scan the code or pay in cash?"

"Neither, I have a lifetime membership =="

Said.

With an awkward expression, Nobara Kugisaki took out a high school student ID card in the style of a Yu-Gi-Oh card from her pocket and handed it to the receptionist.

Beep——

Authentication passed.

"Ms. Nobara Kugisaki, is that you? This is the first time our store has received a lifetime member. Can we take a photo together?"

The receptionist looked at Nobara Kugisaki with shining eyes and asked excitedly.

Lifetime member = big connections

This is the first thing every clerk who enters the store will learn.

As for why the receptionist wanted to take a photo with Nobara Kugisaki so much, it was because——

Once a store framed a photo of the clerk and the lifetime member and hung it on the wall of the store as a souvenir. As a result, one day when the boss saw it, he was so happy that he doubled the salary of all the staff in the store.

This incident caused an uproar in the store group, and other stores rushed to imitate it, but due to the small number of lifetime members, there was no movement for a long time.

But then I got lucky with the second store.

After that.

The third, fourth, fifth...

Although the salary would not double if this happened for the second time, the boss would still provide benefits in other aspects, so the practice of taking photos with lifetime members has continued to this day.

"Are you here again?"

Kugisaki Nobara complained impatiently, but still cooperated to take a photo.

Other employees also noticed that there were lifetime members in the store, but because a clerk had already taken a photo, they were quite tactful and did not disturb them too much.

After that.

Kugisaki Nobara and Ozawa Yuko found a seat by the window and sat down.

"Kugisaki-san is really popular~" Ozawa Yuko sighed as she looked at the clerk who looked over from time to time at the counter.

"Well =="

"It has nothing to do with me =="

"It's all because of a bad teacher =="

Kugisaki Nobara, who had long been accustomed to this kind of situation, took a big sip of iced watermelon water and asked, "So, what do you want from me?"
