First Meeting of High School Students from Jujutsu Tokyo and Kyoto

Jujutsu High School Kyoto is located far from the hustle and bustle, high up in the mountains.

The car stopped at the foot of the mountain. Eiji and the others got out and had to climb stairs to reach the summit.

"Let's go up, everyone is already waiting."

Handing over the car keys to the waiting staff member, Utahime walked ahead, guiding the first-year students from Jujutsu High School Tokyo not to wander aimlessly.

Eiji, Maki, Panda, and Toge followed in silence.

Considering the basic physical fitness of a Jujutsu Sorcerer is better than an ordinary person, no one complained about the mountain climb.

Finally, about 10 minutes later, they reached the mountaintop and saw an old man waiting for them.

The old man was indeed old; all the hair on his head had fallen out, making him bald, his back was hunched, and he needed a cane to support himself.

Eiji, Panda, and Toge recognized the identity of the old man in front of them, except for Maki, who did not receive formal education about the Jujutsu world from the Zenin Family.

"Welcome, students of Jujutsu High School Tokyo. I am the principal of Jujutsu High School Kyoto, Gakuganji Yoshinobu. May this School Goodwill Event deepen the relationship between the two schools, and each student learns from one another."

From the way Principal Gakuganji spoke, he did not look like a frail old person.

He stared at the students in front of him, his gaze lingered a bit longer when he observed Kamiki Eiji. After all, besides being the principal of Jujutsu High School Kyoto, he was also one of the higher-ups in the conservative faction.

Although he had heard rumors, he was still shocked to see Eiji not concealing his Six Eyes, which were different from Satoru's.

"Good job, Utahime. Did you encounter any obstacles on the way?"

"No, everything went smoothly."

"That's good. Follow me."

Eiji and the others followed Principal Gakuganji and Utahime to the courtyard.

"Yo, you finally arrived! We've been waiting for a while. Did Utahime intentionally come late?"

"Gojo!"

Just arriving in the courtyard, Eiji saw his cousin standing next to Principal Yaga.

Utahime's anger was immediately triggered by Satoru's brief words.

Picking up a stone from the ground, she threw it towards him without hesitation. However, the stone stopped in front of Satoru and fell to the ground.

"Gojo, don't set a bad example in front of the students."

Principal Yaga felt bringing Satoru here was a mistake.

"Ha ha ha... Did you hear that, Utahime? You're setting a bad example~"

"Look in the mirror! Principal Yaga meant you!"

Seeing Utahime arguing with Satoru, the students of Kyoto High School were a bit surprised.

On regular days, Utahime was a calm, kind yet firm individual who tried to set an example for her students.

This was the first time they saw their teacher behave like this.

"So, he is Kamiki Eiji... This is the first time I've met him in person."

In the row of Kyoto High School students, there was a man with tightly closed eyes, but as if seeing with closed eyes, he had been observing Eiji since the beginning.

He was none other than Kamo Noritoshi, the heir of the Kamo Family.

"So that's him? His face is handsome enough. Unfortunately, he's not my type."

The one speaking was a short-haired green-haired girl named Zenin Mai, a member of the Zenin Family.

Considering the feud between the Gojo Family and the Zenin Family, she did not have a good impression of Eiji.

"Kamiki Eiji... Why is the world so unfair... We were both born with Heavenly Restrictions..."

The voice of the man carried an undeniable sense of envy and jealousy.

He was Muta Kokichi, or more commonly known as Mechamaru by his friends.

Kokichi couldn't engage in normal activities due to his frail and fragile body since birth because of his Heavenly Restrictions.

His condition could no longer be described as fragile. His right arm was completely gone, and both legs were too weak to support any weight below the knees. Immobile, he sat in a bathtub attached to several tubes in a secluded cave.

As a replacement for his weak body, the Heavenly Restrictions provided him with a surplus of Cursed Energy, even exceeding the capacity of a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer's Cursed Energy.

However, the abundance of Cursed Energy did not make Kokichi happy at all. If given the chance to exchange his Cursed Energy and the healthy body, he would choose the second option without hesitation.

When he learned that Eiji had the same Heavenly Restrictions as him but was blessed with superhuman physique, Kokichi hated the world's unfairness towards him.

"Mechamaru, is Kamiki Eiji famous? Noritoshi-kun seems to hold him in high regard, and Mai-san seems to have heard his name."

A young blue-haired girl pulled Mechamaru's arm and whispered softly.

The girl's name was Miwa Kasumi.

"Miwa, have you never heard his name? What have you actually been learning all this time?"

Before Kokichi could answer through Mechamaru, he was interrupted by a short girl with blonde hair tied into two ponytails.

Although she looked like an elementary school student, she was one of the seniors in the second year; her name was Nishimiya Momo.

"Momo-senpai, you know I'm bad at theory. Is he really that famous?"

"Kamiki Eiji is one of the four Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers. What do you think?"

"Nani (What)! Special Grade?!"

Hearing her explanation, Miwa's eyes widened in disbelief.

No matter how foolish she was, she still understood the rankings for Jujutsu Sorcerers.

Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer is the highest status that a Jujutsu Sorcerer can achieve through natural rank improvement, and not just anyone can attain the Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer rank.

The Special Grade is a rank designated for anomalies in the Jujutsu community. It is reserved for sorcerers with such immense power that their destructive potential cannot be measured, making them extremely exclusive and unique cases.

"C-Can we win against a monster like that?"

If previously Miwa regarded Eiji just as a handsome young man, her view changed drastically.

"90% we will lose even against Todo." Kokichi answered calmly.

This answer only made Miwa despair. After all, she aimed for the prize money for the Goodwill Event between schools.

A muscular man walked out of the line of Kyoto High School students and approached the group of Jujutsu High School Tokyo students, or more precisely, he approached Eiji.

"Are you Kamiki Eiji?"

"Yes, and you?"

Staring at the big man in front of him, Eiji's expression didn't change at all. He acted as if he didn't know the other person's identity.

"Todo Aoi, a second-year student from Jujutsu High School Kyoto. Introduction complete. With this, we're friends, right?"

"So, what's your ideal type of woman?"

With a loud and bold voice, Todo asked a strange question to Eiji.

Eiji: "😐"

Maki, Panda, and Toge were astonished by that question. It was the first time they had seen someone ask such a question at the first meeting.

Kyoto High School students were not surprised by Todo's eccentric behavior.

As for adults like Principal Yaga, Principal Gakuganji, Utahime, and Satoru, they merely observed from the side without intending to interfere.

As long as there was no fight, they would let the students from both schools interact with each other.
