Shuchiin Academy, Class 1-C.

As soon as Yoshikage Kira returned to his seat, his cell phone began to vibrate in his pocket.

"Kira-kun, have you been following the news these past two days?"

It was a message from Yukino Yukinoshita. Before Yoshikage Kira could reply, she quickly sent a link to a news report:

"Around 10 PM on June 8th, an explosion occurred at Sugisawa Third High School in Miyagi Prefecture. Two students from the paranormal club who were staying at the school were affected by the blast wave, but they have recovered and are out of danger after receiving timely medical treatment. The Anti-Intellectual Cult has claimed responsibility for the incident..."

"May 8th?"

Kira Yoshikage fell into deep thought. On the night of June 8th, he was in the midst of World War II. The next day, he was busy with World War III and the return to World War II, and hadn't paid much attention to the news. If Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't brought it up, he probably would have completely overlooked it.

Yukino Yukinoshita continued typing:

"This incident has been confirmed to have been caused by the finger of the special-grade cursed object Sukuna, and during this time, a student was possessed by the two-faced Sukuna after swallowing Sukuna's finger."

Yoshikage Kira: "Did the General Staff tell you this?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "They want me to remove Sukuna's vessel because Satoru Gojo wants to protect him."

Yoshikage Kira pondered for a moment, then typed a line of text on the virtual screen:

What is the name of the container?

"Japanese knotweed Hisuhito."

Yoshikage Kira put down his phone, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

Is Yujin Khajiitsu more important, or Sukuna Ryoumen?

Neither Itadori Yuujin nor Ryomen Sukuna were important to him; without them...

Yoshino Junpei used it to fish for real people, while Itadori Hisahito used it to fish for flounder. (The last part is a separate, unrelated sentence: "How shallow: a chivalrous confrontation.")

Judging from the timeline, Hisahito Itadori became the vessel in June, and his death and his contact with Junpei Yoshino both occurred in July.

So, we just need to wait a little longer.

We can start by operating on real people, although this will cause some harm to the patient.

While his Stand ability is far from invincible, it is sufficient to handle this kind of minor, mild situation.

Boom!

"Yoshikage Kira, come to my office."

The female teacher in the white coat punched the classroom door twice, her eyes filled with hostility.

-----------------

Inside the office, a female teacher with long, straight black hair, arms crossed and legs crossed, asked with a serious expression:

"Next time, can you get first place in the class?"

"No."

Yoshikage Kira answered truthfully.

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned and asked:

"Why? Don't you want to be number one?"

Kira Yoshikage thought for a moment, then asked in return with an extremely serious expression:

"Teacher, why don't you become the Prime Minister of Japan? Is it because you don't want to?"

"You kid..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka slammed her hand on the table. "Don't be ungrateful! Shuchiin Academy has a generous scholarship system for students from mixed-gender colleges. It used to be limited to the top 50 students in the whole school, but now the system has been reformed. As long as you can get first place in your class, you still have a chance to get a scholarship. Are you sure you don't want to try?"

Despite the earnestness of the female teacher, Yoshikage Kira persisted in his relentless questioning:

"Teacher, why don't you become the Prime Minister of Japan?"

"Ah, that's right, that's it!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's forehead creased with annoyance, and she said irritably, "Otherwise, why would I become a teacher?"

"I see."

Yoshikage Kira nodded knowingly, then asked:

"I understand the logic, so why don't you become the Prime Minister of Japan, teacher?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled and pointed to the office door:

"Gewuen!"

Chapter 147 Loyalty needs no reward, for loyalty itself is the best reward.

After school, the Light Music Club.

Ritsu Tainaka and Yui Hirasawa are fighting over pastries, Tsumugi Kotobuki is making tea, while Mio Akiyama keeps her head down, looking preoccupied.

When Yoshikage Kira opened the door, this was the scene he saw.

Akiyama Mio raised her head, her gaze meeting Kira Yoshikage's. A hint of excitement flickered in her dark eyes as she whispered:

"Ritsu, Yui, Tsumugi, could you please step outside for a moment? I have something I'd like to discuss with Kira-kun alone."

"Huh? That works!"

Ritsuichi Tainaka was taken aback, but did not ask any further questions. He simply nodded slightly, then grabbed Yui Hirasawa by the collar as she was secretly going to get some pastries, and pulled her away from the activity room amidst her cries of pain.

"I'll come back later~"

Kotobuki Tsumugi poured Kira Yoshikage a cup of black tea, then gestured to Akiyama Mio as she left the clubroom.

Kira Yoshikage sat down opposite Akiyama Mio:

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Kira-kun, I..."

Akiyama Mio opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know where to begin.

Yoshikage Kira didn't urge him, but patiently waited while blowing on his teacup.

After struggling for a long time, the girl finally sorted out her thoughts, but her voice began to tremble inexplicably:

"When I was at school today, I found that I seemed to be seeing some strange...hallucinations. I'm wondering if this is abnormal?"

"That's normal."

"Huh?"

"What you see is not an illusion, but a real 'spirit,' or rather, 'ghost.' The ability to 'see' them is called psychic vision. Although there aren't many people with psychic vision, there are still several thousand in total, so it's not too rare."

"And since you've died once, it's normal for you to awaken your spiritual vision. This shows that you have a certain talent in this area."

"But I don't want this talent at all!"

The thought of seeing those twisted and bizarre things every day made Akiyama Mio tremble with fear.

So, why did she have to go through something like this?

Seeing the girl's terrified expression, Yoshikage Kira simply calmly took a sip of his red tea.

It was expected that Akiyama Mio would possess clairvoyance; near-death experiences can unleash a person's potential, and Akiyama Mio had genuinely died once. However, she should have discovered this on Friday, which is why Kira Yoshikage specifically asked her if she had any further questions.

However, since Mio Akiyama and Mio Kira did not bring it up at the time, Yoshikage Kira simply regarded her as an ordinary person who could not have spiritual vision even when she was on the verge of death, so there was no need to explain it to her.

However, Akiyama Mio's reaction proves that she does indeed possess clairvoyance. The reason she didn't ask at the time might be because she was very lucky and didn't encounter any evil spirits on her way there. It's also possible that Akiyama Mio was too tense and fearful along the way, and lacked attention to everything around her, causing her to subconsciously ignore any evil spirits she might have seen.

For the next two days, she stayed at Kotobuki Tsumugi's villa, presumably isolating herself and not leaving the house.

Naturally, they never encountered any evil spirits.

It wasn't until this morning, on her way to school, that she truly realized for the first time that she possessed clairvoyance.

Akiyama Mio looked at Kira Yoshikage with anticipation:

"Kira-kun, is there a way to turn off the spirit vision? Hey, like the three-eyed spirits in the movies, can't you turn it off?"

"I'm sorry, no, but..."

"but?"

"However, you can try to ignore them. Most evil spirits cannot harm people who cannot see them, so as long as you pretend not to see them, don't scream, don't make eye contact, and don't show fear, they cannot hurt you."

"But isn't that just deceiving yourself?"

Faced with Akiyama Mio's tearful question, Kira Yoshikage readily admitted it:

"Yes, it is self-deception, but it can save your life in many situations."

"Oh, by the way, some evil spirits disguise themselves as normal humans. Maybe it's a commuter asking you the time on the subway, a child waving at you with a balloon in the park, or an old lady waiting to cross the street at a zebra crossing. Ordinary people can't see them, but those who can become their targets."

"So you'd better not respond to a stranger's call for help, whether it's an elderly person or a child. Just pretend they're not there and you'll be fine."

Akiyama Mio raised her head, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading:

"What if I accidentally get possessed by an evil spirit? Can I ask Kira-kun for help?"

"It's best not to."

Yoshikage Kira politely declined, saying, "I'm not always available, and I've already told you that this ability has limitations. Each use puts a huge strain on my body, and even if you ask me for help, you'll probably be a corpse by the time I get there. And if I happen to run out of power, then death is truly death."

Akiyama Mio's face turned pale. She still remembered that Kira Yoshikage had once told her that the ability to 'rewind' could only be used three times.

Is it three times a day, or three times a week?

Akiyama Mio didn't know, but there were definitely significant limitations.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to backtrack indefinitely?

Kira Yoshikage looked at the girl's pale face and continued speaking:

"If you are really haunted by an evil spirit, then run to the school. The deity worshipped at the school will protect you; it's your best option."

"You can also try your luck at her shrine; you might have a chance to become her shrine maiden and receive her blessing."

"If you see her, tell her this is my suggestion."
