Chapter 126: The hidden trump card of the Tokyo branch?
Very quickly, a week passed in a flash, and the exchange meeting between the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College and the Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School began.
Because Yuta Okkotsu, who was just there to make up the numbers, had directly punched through the Kyoto Jujutsu High School last year, this year's exchange meeting would also be held in Tokyo.
The Kyoto Jujutsu High School participating in the exchange meeting this time included a total of six people: third-year students Aoi Todo, Noritoshi Kamo, and Momo Nishimiya, and second-year students Mai Zenin, Kasumi Miwa, and Ultimate Mechamaru.
Among them, Aoi Todo was even hailed as the existence of the trump card of the Kyoto Jujutsu High School.
The Jujutsu High sister school exchange competition generally involves six students from each side of the school facing off.
And in order to win, whether it was the Tokyo branch or the Kyoto branch, they generally sent senior students to participate.
Because the Tokyo branch was short of people in the exchange meeting last year, they let the freshman Yuta Okkotsu go on stage. Who knew Okkotsu's strength was too great, and he punched through the entire Kyoto branch by himself.
In this year's exchange meeting, when seeing that the students sent by the Tokyo branch were all freshmen, the advisor teacher of the Kyoto branch, Utahime Iori, also looked at Gojo Satoru with dissatisfaction: "Your Tokyo branch intends to let freshmen go on stage this year? This is simply looking down on our Kyoto branch too much!"
Utahime Iori was also an old acquaintance of Gojo Satoru, and as the advisor teacher of both schools, she naturally didn't want her students to be looked down upon.
Yuta Okkotsu was not on the list for this exchange meeting. She wasn't surprised by this. After all, Yuta Okkotsu was a complete exception. If the Tokyo branch let him go on stage, their Kyoto branch would probably lose face again this year.
But Utahime Iori had never expected that the Tokyo branch not only didn't let Yuta Okkotsu go on stage this time, but even didn't have a single third-year student this year, letting all freshmen come up to make up the numbers. Wasn't this clearly looking down on their Kyoto branch!
"If Utahime thinks so, how about letting our Tokyo branch send one more person on stage this year?
After all, we have seven people here including the second-years and first-years. Honestly, I was agonizing over it before."
Seeing Gojo Satoru's grinning face trying to negotiate with her, Utahime Iori became angry instantly.
Utahime Iori was actually considered a senior to Gojo Satoru, and she was also very pretty in her student days. But later, in a mission to exorcise a cursed spirit, she was injured and left with a scar on her face.
And because of this scar, she had been mocked by Gojo Satoru in his youth, so she had always hated the other party, and the two of them would always tear each other down according to convention every time they met.
The Kyoto branch had all senior students, while the Tokyo branch had all freshmen. In fact, letting one more quota was nothing.
But how could Utahime Iori agree to something that would let Gojo Satoru take advantage?
"The only person in the Tokyo branch worth my attention is Yuta Okkotsu. As for the others, I don't care at all no matter how many come."
Before Utahime Iori could open her mouth to refuse, Aoi Todo, the trump card of the Kyoto branch, had already spoken with his arms crossed.
Honestly, the main reason he agreed to participate in this sister school exchange meeting was for Okkotsu.
Upon learning that Okkotsu was not participating in the exchange meeting this time, Aoi Todo had already lost quite a bit of interest.
But since he had already come, if the quality of the Tokyo branch wasn't enough, then using quantity to make up for it wasn't impossible.
"Good, then it's settled!" Gojo Satoru agreed with a high-spirited look.
"Hey, don't make decisions on your own! I haven't agreed yet!"
Compared to Gojo Satoru and Utahime Iori, who had already started tearing each other apart like enemies, the principal of the Kyoto branch, Yoshinobu Gakuganji—a bald old man with a white beard—had been staring at Sugimura Yuji with malicious eyes.
Yoshinobu Gakuganji was not only the principal of the Kyoto branch but also a member of the jujutsu elite. And after learning that Ryomen Sukuna had awakened in Sugimura Yuji, he had always been one of those who advocated killing Sugimura Yuji Itadori.
Previously, when hearing the report from the Tokyo Juvenile Detention Center, he had been happy that Sugimura Yuji Itadori was dead. But he had never expected that the Ryomen Sukuna vessel, who had already "hung up" in the report, would appear here again.
The original sister school exchange meeting should have been a 6-on-6 lineup, but in the end, under Gojo Satoru's silver tongue and Principal Yaga's excuse of wanting to give young people a chance to train, Yoshinobu Gakuganji and Utahime Iori still agreed to give up one quota to the Tokyo branch.
And in order to obtain this quota, the concessions made by the Tokyo branch were also very huge.
The competition rules for this exchange meeting were to send students from both schools into a forest, where there were a large number of Grade 2 and Grade 3 cursed spirits. The school that exorcised more cursed spirits would win in the end.
And because the lineup this time was 7-on-6, after negotiation, the Tokyo branch, which had the numerical advantage, had to exorcise 30% more cursed spirits than the Kyoto branch to win.
With only one more person in number, but wanting to win required 30% more results. No matter how you looked at it, the Tokyo branch was the one suffering.
But it was precisely such harsh conditions that both Gojo Satoru and Principal Yaga only hesitated for a moment before agreeing directly.
And it was the decisiveness of the two that made Utahime Iori feel that they seemed to have been set up. You have to know that she knew Gojo Satoru this guy too well.
If it was something that would make him suffer, this guy would definitely not agree so readily.
So this meant that the student the Tokyo branch insisted on inserting into the exchange meeting had strong strength himself, and was even capable of bearing this "capital" given by the Tokyo branch.
Then the question comes: who is this last student of the Tokyo branch? As a sister school, besides the freshmen this year, she, Utahime Iori, basically knew all the second-year and third-year students of the Tokyo branch.
"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting. Because Shoko-sensei arranged some work temporarily, I forgot the time after I finished."
And just when Utahime Iori was curious about who the last student participating in the exchange meeting from the Tokyo branch was, a voice appeared behind everyone without warning.
When a sunny boy with black hair, hands in his pockets, and an apologetic look on his face greeted the people of the Tokyo branch, Utahime Iori, Yoshinobu Gakuganji, and Aoi Todo were all stunned.
Mai Zenin, who was standing next to Aoi Todo, looked at the solemn Utahime Iori and the interested Aoi Todo, and asked with confusion: "What is it? Besides looking a bit sunny and handsome, he doesn't look special."
However, when hearing Mai's words, Aoi Todo next to her shook his head directly: "No, you underestimate him too much. Before he made a sound, could you sense that he had already arrived nearby?"
