I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

Natsuyuki/Ieiri Glass: My eyes went black.jpg

Xia Youjie struggled to speak: "KOKO, did Wu... force you?" Otherwise, why would you be dressed like this?!

One tall and one short, dressed in brightly colored clothes, stood together, both wearing dark sunglasses, hands in their pockets with an extremely nonchalant air, looking every bit the hoodlum, as if they were about to blurt out: "Hey~ I'm a little short on cash lately, wanna grab some money, kid~"

He suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for her unchanging personal style of dress.

Zhu Yu asked in confusion, "No."

Of course, it's voluntary for the players.

These clothes are practically free!

Xia Youjie silently rubbed his forehead. It was a case of one person willing to give and the other willing to receive...

Zhu Yu looked at Xiaozi: "Isn't it pretty?"

Her classmate stared at her intently, his pupils reflecting her image.

Ieiri Glass: "..."

She closed her eyes and lied to herself, saying, "Actually... it's quite unique."

Gojo Satoru gave him an "agreeing" look and began to tempt Natsuyu Kiyoshi and Ieiri Shoko to change into the same outfit.

The two: Ha, do you think they're stupid?

Just as the two were about to coldly refuse, demonstrating their "purity" untainted by the mud, Gojo Satoru's next words plunged them into a deep dilemma.

"—Oh, that's a pity. It seems that only Laozi and Kuzi will be dressed like this. In that case, Jie, you can leave the task of welcoming the newcomers to Laozi. After all, Laozi and Kuzi are obviously together now."

He stretched out his arm and naturally hooked it around Zhu Yu's neck, then lazily hung on her.

The two stood there in the halo of light in the corridor, their similar attire causing their shadows to blend into a blurry ink stain at their feet—anyone who saw them would think they were inseparable best friends.

And outsiders cannot intervene.

When the new batch of college students enrolled, Ye'e Zhengdao asked Xia Youjie and Zhu Yu to pick them up.

Xia Youjie didn't really care who picked him up; in fact, he was happy to have some free time since Gojo Satoru was willing to help.

But now that Gojo Satoru has said this...

He really had no choice but to go.

Xia Youjie's lips curved into a perfectly shaped smile, his eyes slightly upturned, giving him an innocent and harmless appearance: "I appreciate your kindness, but I'll go instead."

Gojo felt that something was very wrong. He considered himself to know Xia Youjie fairly well, and he knew that whenever Xia Youjie smiled humbly and politely, he was definitely up to no good.

Hey, Jay is the one with the Black Heart Monster Bangs, right?

But he couldn't understand why Xia Youjie was suddenly so stubborn. He scratched his head, somewhat confused, and said, "Alright then."

"But... I guess I'll go too."

Although Jay insisted on going, wouldn't it be better if he just went with him?

Gojo Satoru instantly came up with a solution that would kill two birds with one stone.

"Wouldn't that be a bit troublesome?" Xia Youjie tried to struggle.

"How could that be? We're all together. Shoko is coming too."

Gojo Gosho waved to the glass shop owner, extending a warm invitation.

Suddenly caught in the crossfire of the conflict, Ieiri Shoko: "..."

She pinched her chin, her gaze falling on Zhu Yu and Wu Tiao Wu. She could clearly see the two of them leaning intimately together.

That uninhibited intimacy... hey, isn't it just too sickeningly sweet?

......

"Okay."

Xia Youjie slowly cast his gaze over: "..." Glass, what's wrong with you too?

Ieiri Glass shrugs: Sorry.

Since things had come to this point, Xia Youjie's objections were useless, and in the end, all four of the students from the college went out together!

*

The sun-drenched streets were sweltering, and cicadas chirped incessantly among the roadside trees.

"Hey~ you must be the freshmen this year."

A lively voice called out to them—Yu Haibara and Kento Nanami, both freshmen at the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Higher Specialized School, froze on the spot amidst the bustling street.

They were blocked by a humanoid "neon light" wall of flesh.

Four strange men wearing identical Hawaiian floral shirts stood before them—the exaggerated pineapple, coconut tree, and wave patterns on the shirts were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

Loose shorts that revealed her knees, and flip-flops that matched her hair color, with round-framed sunglasses neatly placed on her face.

The outfits were copied and pasted, the only difference being that the two girls in the middle were wearing sun hats for protection.

"Senior?!"

Haibara Yu's luggage fell to the ground with a clatter, his mouth opened into a perfect "O" shape, and his eyes scanned back and forth between the four floral shirts.

Are these four the seniors from the vocational college?

Wow, that's really unique!

Without thinking about why his seniors weren't wearing their college uniforms to pick him up, he hurriedly picked up his luggage from the ground, then stood up straight and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you all. I'm Haibara Yu, a first-year student. Please take good care of me!"

Meanwhile, another freshman, Nanami Kento, who was watching the chaotic scene, had a split expression on his face. His fingers were gripping the suitcase handle tightly, and his knuckles were white.

A deep sense of despair suddenly welled up inside him—what to do? Are there any normal people in this vocational college...?

Is it too late to turn around and leave now?

Chapter 142 Haiyuan and Nanami’s voices

It's been a while since these two newly enrolled first-year college students started their studies. If you were to ask them what they think...

Haibara Yu has something to say—

Everyone in the vocational college is very easy to get along with!

Although Ieiri-senpai sometimes seems lazy, he's surprisingly reliable!

Gojo-senpai is very powerful, but sometimes he's a bit mischievous and will play pranks on him and Nanami. However, he is also a very friendly senior!

Senior Xia You's magnanimity and philosophy are truly admirable; he is an exceptional senior, and he should strive to emulate him!

When it came to Senior Meichuan, he was pleasantly surprised to recognize her.

Before he decided to become a sorcerer, he was once saved by the senior Mei Chuan. When he was being chased by a cursed spirit, the senior descended from the sky, killed the cursed spirit in one move, and then left gracefully.

The moonlight was like frost, and its cold, silvery glow poured down, coating the black-haired girl's silhouette with a sharp, chilling light.

She stood in the shadow of the massive, stacked bodies of the cursed spirits, her hair seemingly melting into the thick night.

The cursed spirit howled and convulsed.

She raised her hand indifferently—

The cursed spirit vanished without a trace in the next breath, like sand caught in the wind.

She turned and glanced at him as he fell to the ground in a panic. His calm eyes seemed to swallow the moonlight, dark and deep.

His hair stood on end, and his heart pounded.

Finally, he stared blankly at her retreating figure as she silently disappeared into the night—a scene etched firmly in his mind, never to be forgotten.

What he regretted most was that he only saw his benefactor's face clearly, and he didn't even have time to ask her name before she disappeared.

I thought I would never be able to repay your kindness, but I never expected to meet you at the vocational college.

This must be fate!

Although he was a little disappointed that his senior didn't seem to recognize him, none of that mattered. He would definitely do his best to repay his senior's kindness!

Unlike Haibara Yu, who faces life with enthusiasm and a smile every day, Nanami Kento says he has nothing to say... but his urge to complain about his senior classmates gradually becomes uncontrollable as they spend time together.

Senior Gojo is strong, that's undeniable, but... why is he so persistent in teasing his juniors? That scumbag senior!

They are absolutely not worthy of respect!

Natsuyu-senpai... is indeed very calm and reliable, but... can someone who can become close friends with Gojo-senpai be a particularly serious person?

He wanted to remind Haibara countless times—please take off your filter for Natsuyu-senpai. When Gojo-senpai was teasing us, your respected Natsuyu-senpai just stood by with a smile.

Among all the senior students at the vocational high school, Ieiri-senpai is truly the most normal one. I am grateful for Ieiri-senpai's existence, which keeps a glimmer of normalcy in the vocational high school.

As for Senior Meichuan, he really couldn't give a proper evaluation...

She's incredibly capable and doesn't act like a senior, but she's too unpredictable and it's impossible to figure out what she's thinking.

Nanami usually keeps her distance from such unpredictable people, but... unfortunately, Senior [Umekawa] really takes good care of them...

It's not that he doesn't know how to repay kindness.

As newcomers, he and Haibara are not yet strong enough to go on missions on their own, and they are currently being guided by senior members of the high school to gain experience.

The senior colleagues were stationed at the college, and the fieldwork tasks they led mostly fell to the other three senior colleagues.

When Gojo gets excited, he'll rush up and exorcise the cursed spirits himself, seemingly forgetting to give his juniors a chance to learn.

"Haha, Nanami, don't mind, this cursed spirit was just too weak, I accidentally lost control~"

What kind of nickname is "Nanami"? Please address your juniors properly and with respect for boundaries, thank you!

Senior Natsume would consciously leave opportunities for him and Haibara to train, first letting them fight against cursed spirits, and only subduing the cursed spirits if they were defeated.

In this respect, Senior Xia You truly embodies the qualities of a senior.

The fact that they only slowly and deliberately intervene after hearing people shout "Senior, help!" is a perverse quirk that is hard to describe.

Ah, I suddenly have a headache, I don't want to think about it anymore.

As for Senior Meichuan, once he goes on a mission, he enters a state of "detachment" and will not take the initiative to talk to them. He just leads them to bury themselves in the mission and pays great attention to efficiency.

He was always the fastest runner, and he and Haibara couldn't keep up with him. Often, they would find the cursed spirit just as they were sweating profusely, only to have it already been exorcised.

Speaking of which, do vocational colleges have a tradition of not lending money?

Surprisingly, not a single senior member remembered to leave the tent...

When accompanying Senior [Meichuan] on missions, it seems that his and Haibara's only role is to help with the tents.

Following their seniors provides a great sense of security; they are protected so well that not a single hair on their head has fallen. It's hard to refuse the wages they receive without having to work... But they are sorcerers, and being constantly protected under their seniors' wings will prevent them from growing.

To die helplessly out of their elders' sight is not what they want.

After expressing their thoughts to their seniors, the seniors gave them a very strange expression. It was hard to describe, but if you had to put it in perspective, it was somewhat like "discovering that the cat at home has suddenly started talking like a human and, for the sake of its health, demands that it catch a hundred mice every day to practice its hunting skills."

He didn't know why he suddenly thought of this description, but it felt very fitting.

If he could, he wouldn't want to be someone who always needed protection in the eyes of his seniors.

Being protected means being the weak.

The weak are bound to lose something.

Friendship and bonds sound cheesy, but he had to admit that his life at the vocational college had indeed touched him.

Sometimes I can't help but think—

I wish these days could last a little longer.

He cherishes every ordinary day when he can eat his favorite sandwich and see the smiling faces of his companions.

......

Another trait of the senior is that he is always willing to help others, and this time was no exception.

The strange expression on the senior's face didn't last long; she quickly nodded to indicate that she understood.

In the next mission, the senior did not rush to the front, but quietly waited for them to fight the cursed spirit.
