Chapter 8

＊＊＊

Kiyotaka Ijichi felt that his hair volume was decreasing rapidly and wanted to refuse, but thinking of his past experiences, he finally choked up and handed in a standard answer sheet at the speed of an ordinary worker in 37 minutes.

Then, a mobile phone screen was pressed in front of Sukuna's eyes. A rising voice seemed to be spinning and jumping in her ears, "Sukuna-chan, look, this is the evaluation of me by the faculty and staff of the technical college!"

Sukuna looked at the thing called "mobile phone" curiously for a few times, and after guessing that it was the same thing as the communication jade, she read the text on it.

She didn't know who wrote this short essay, which was divided into several aspects such as "high combat power, high appearance, good personality, deeply trusted by all teachers and students in the school, and the most trusted existence of the top leaders in the jujutsu world" and praised Satoru in detail and listed the number of trips Satoru had made in the past year, the amount of cursed spirits he exorcised, and even gave examples of Satoru's good deeds in teaching him physical skills.

Sukuna read the whole article and raised his eyes doubtfully. Since he was used to receiving compliments, he was so happy before, maybe because he was optimistic and cheerful by nature, and he was easily satisfied with a few compliments?

"Sukuna-chan, do you believe it now?" Satoru, who was trying hard to defend his reputation, tilted his head and looked at Sukuna with a smile.

Sukuna didn't understand his competitive spirit, and never thought that there would be a strongest person who would threaten his subordinates for compliments. Seeing that the evidence was in front of her, she naturally believed it and nodded.

"What? Wow, so strong!" Yuji also leaned over curiously and was directly shocked.

Nobara also rushed over with a crab leg, always feeling that there was a desire to survive between the lines.

Megumi saw Ijichi at the sender's place, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the prematurely aged assistant director. So many unfaithful and eye-catching words, it was really hard for him.

After eating, they bought some daily necessities. When the freshmen returned to the dormitory of the technical college, they received the future course schedule.

A table could be summarized as "theory class in the morning, practical class in the afternoon."

Leaning on the chair, Yuji looked at the overly simple course schedule and decisively chose to patiently ask the most experienced Megumi, "Fushiguro, how is this class taught?"

"It depends on the arrangement of Gojo-sensei." Megumi washed his face, "And if there is a task, we don't have to go to class."

After a pause, he couldn't help but remind, "This is my room."

Don't just turn over from the balcony just because they were neighbors next door!

"Oh, sorry..." Yuji turned over pitifully with a jump, and then shouted loudly, "Fushiguro, can I turn over?"

"Stop making so much noise, don't delay my beauty sleep!" Nobara leaned out of the window not far away and couldn't help but roared.

In the end, the three of them gathered in Megumi's dormitory.

Then, Yuji, who was sitting at the table obediently, saw a few textbooks on Megumi's table and whispered to Sukuna beside her, "Miss Sukuna, although my sports performance is good, my academic performance is not that good... I don't know if it's difficult here in the technical college. I should learn some kind of curse theory or something. It would be embarrassing if I postpone graduation..."

"Itadori, lend me a hand." Sukuna made a soft squeeze, and the textbook wrapped in plastic film appeared in her hand automatically under the influence of the cursed power.

Before opening the book, Sukuna, who was curious about the cover and thought it was a magic textbook, showed some confusion in her eyes, "What is this?"

"Why! Jujutsu High School has to learn physics!" Nobara's eyes went dark, and she fell back on the ground, "I thought Newton didn't care about the jujutsu world..."

"And Japanese language, I hate memorizing texts the most..." Yuji wanted to lie down, but he thought of something and cheered up again, with a look of desire in his eyes, "Miss Sukuna, can I apply for off-site hints? Coke, milk tea, daifuku, please!"

They could secretly pass the answers through heart sounds!

Although Sukuna liked the feeling of having her taste buds stimulated by various kinds of delicious food, these little things were not enough to make Sukuna do something for Yuji. She was not the kind of person who could be moved by small favors.

Using Yuji's hand to push away Yuji's head, Sukuna flipped through Yuji's textbook.

Sukuna had no idea why a car could keep moving at a constant speed, why a ball could be thrown at an angle of 37 degrees and ignore air resistance, and what was the use of friction and buoyancy calculations?

"Do you use this knowledge in your daily life?" Sukuna asked incomprehensibly, "Shouldn't professionals do professional things?"

"Hey—" Yuji sighed, "Miss Sukuna, you didn't learn it at the time, but this knowledge is already part of the national basic education in our era."

"Basics?" Sukuna looked at the various English characters and unfamiliar word combinations that she couldn't understand, and felt dizzy.

However, her innate unwillingness to admit defeat and her curiosity about this knowledge prompted Sukuna to read on.

So, the atmosphere of the chat changed instantly.

"Itadori, what does this word mean?"

"Itadori, how to calculate this formula?"

"Itadori, is this answer correct?"

Yuji could still answer some of the basic questions at the beginning, but as Sukuna's questions deepened, Yuji gradually became shaky and unable to support himself, like a paper man, falling to the ground and losing his life.

"Why do you want to learn this?" Nobara couldn't bear it anymore. She thought that if she were a curse that didn't have to take exams, she would never learn such things. Why, a curse in a big city wanted to take her to study! Could this world still be better?

"Because I am full of curiosity about this world." Sukuna used Yuji's hand to forcibly pull Yuji up and let him answer, while casually answering Nobara, "I want to know where the wisdom of mankind is concentrated in this world where cultivation is not possible."

She vaguely felt that this knowledge was the cornerstone of this world with airplanes, cars, mobile phones and other unheard-of things.

As if because of the joy of discovering something interesting, the scarlet gemstone eyes were raised, flashing with dazzling rays of light.

Full of ambition.

But there was no malice towards the world that a curse should have.

Nobara and Megumi, who thought they had a sufficient understanding of curses, felt a kind of helplessness beyond cognition.

Only Yuji, who had just entered the world of curses, did not think there was anything wrong with this. He crawled behind Megumi with his hands and feet. "Miss. Sukuna, I'm really not a search engine. I really don't know how to do this question!"

"Search engine?" Sukuna heard a new term again and immediately leaned over.

Yuji immediately used his experience of teaching his grandfather to use a smartphone and patiently taught Sukuna bit by bit.

"This is a mobile phone."
"Click here to enter the search engine."
"Then use the mobile phone keyboard to enter your question."
"Click the link below..."

Sukuna, who thought this was the first time she heard of such a convenient function, tried it slowly like an old man. After confirming that Yuji did not lie to her, she looked at the phone over and over again in disbelief.

After making sure there was no cursed power or other metaphysical power, Sukuna weighed the thing that weighed less than half a pound, and her enthusiasm for learning about this world became even higher. She praised sincerely, "Science, amazing!"

The next day, students received a notice early in the morning that Gojo's physics class was in the morning.

Sitting in the classroom that was too spacious due to the small number of students, Yuji rubbed his sore wrist, wondering if Miss Sukuna had used his hand to do some physical work yesterday, while sleepily opening the textbook.

Then, he saw in disbelief that the last page of the textbook had elegant handwriting. He rubbed his eyes and immediately opened his mobile phone and flipped through the history records.

Except for a few records that tried to search the world of jujutsu, from 8pm to 6am, all the searches were about physics questions.

From the simplest definition of universal gravitation that elementary school students sneered at, to the terrifying comprehensive mechanics questions, and then looking at Sukuna behind him who was energetic and enthusiastic about knowledge, Yuji seemed to be driven by some mysterious power and began to seriously prepare for today's lessons.

Nobara didn't understand, but it didn't stop her from being shocked.
She whispered to Megumi beside her, "In Tokyo, even the Jujutsu High School, are all such terrible schools?"

Megumi, who was about to play with his phone as usual for a whole morning, faced his classmates' sincere questions. His eyes were as ignorant and ignorant as a newborn baby, and as dull and trance as dried salted fish...
