Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Chapter 16 Fujimaru Ritsuka's First Mission

"Oh my? Everyone seems to be working unusually hard today."

When Gojo Satoru arrived at the playground, he was somewhat surprised to see everyone lying on the playground, completely exhausted and without any regard for their image.

At this moment, apart from Gojo Satoru, only Fujimaru Ritsuka and Jeanne Alter beside her were still standing on the playground.

Kugizaki Nobara replied listlessly:

"It's more than just trying; today's workout volume has far exceeded my limit. All I want to do now is rest."

The others nodded silently, indicating their strong agreement.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was not lying; the three shikigami (Shadows of Spirit Origins) she summoned were indeed very effective at training.

That's too good!

Those three guys were not only exceptionally strong, but also highly skilled in training. When they trained together, they exerted a powerful pressure that would not stop until they had squeezed out all their potential. They could always push them to their limits time and time again, but they would never break them.

It's practically Spartan training!

This is only natural, since one of the trainers was none other than Leonidas I, the King of Sparta.

Of course, it was tiring, but the results were obvious.

It was just a sparring match, but everyone could clearly feel the tremendous improvement they gained when they approached their limits time and time again, so it was a bittersweet experience.

On the other side, seeing the scene of devastation before her, Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced away, pretending to be nonchalant.

Scáthach, Li Shuwen, and Leonidas I are all known for their rigorous training. Although she only summons their spirit origin shadows, the high standards and requirements of the training are ingrained in their very being. This is indeed not very friendly to college students who are experiencing this kind of training for the first time.

However, their performance was already quite good. You have to understand that she was trained to the point of ecstasy, and she even had nightmares about the terrifying training at night.

As for now?

She's used to it.

It has to be said that the human body's adaptability is truly terrifying.

"In that case, you should all get some rest. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Well then, I'll borrow Ritsuka for now~"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing her name called, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Gojo Satoru with a puzzled expression, and the others also looked over curiously.

"Mr. Gojo, is there something you need from me?"

"Of course, and it is an important event that every college student must experience."

"What is it, please tell me?"

Gojo Satoru mysteriously kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then smiled and said:

"We're on a mission! We're on a mission!"

"How is it, Ritsuka? This is your first official mission as a sorcerer. Aren't you nervous and excited?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said:

"I wouldn't say I'm nervous, but I am definitely a little curious."

Upon hearing that they were taking Fujimaru Ritsuka out on a mission, the others lay down peacefully again.

For novice sorcerers, the first mission is the most dangerous, because in addition to strength, they also face a series of problems such as experience and mentality. Only after overcoming these difficulties can they truly be called qualified sorcerers.

But since it's Fujimaru Ritsuka, there's not much to worry about.

Having already witnessed Fujimaru Ritsuka's strength, the group wasn't worried about her safety at all; if they were worried about anything, they should be worried about the cursed spirits on the other side.

The only thing to be careful about is probably her mindset, but this is something that only Fujimaru Ritsuka can do on her own; there's nothing they can do to help her.

Kugizaki Nobara laboriously raised her right hand, waved it slightly at her, and said:

Keep it up!

"Yes, I will!"

-

In the car, Gojo Satoru and Fujimaru Ritsuka sat together in the back seat. The driver was named Ijichi Kiyotaka, the assistant supervisor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Higher Specialized School.

He was a somewhat thin middle-aged man, a typical middle-aged office worker.

Assistant supervisors generally lack combat abilities, so they are temporarily prohibited from participating in battles. They usually provide support to the caster using simple barrier spells called "tents" and shikigami, or handle some miscellaneous tasks.

At this moment, he is driving them to their destination for this mission.

Jeanne Alter remained in her spirit form beside Fujimaru Ritsuka because Gojo Satoru said that apart from the students of the high school, no one else should be aware of the Servant's presence for the time being, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Although Kiyotaka Ijichi is the assistant supervisor of the high school, he is not entirely on Gojo Satoru's side, so some secrets should be kept from him.

"You're getting along with them quite well, Ritsuka. I didn't realize you were so adaptable."

Gojo Satoru and Fujimaru Ritsuka started chatting.

"Well, adaptability is one of the few strengths I can be proud of."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"And everyone here is a good person, so it's easy to get along with them."

"Emmm, I don't deny that they're good people, but in terms of personality, aren't they all a bunch of problem children?"

Gojo Satoru teased:

"To be able to quickly become friends with such a group of troubled children, maybe your personality is a little abnormal too."

Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise:

"Hey, why this bias? Normally, shouldn't it be because you think I'm good at dealing with people?"

"Because sorcerers are all crazy, being abnormal is normal, haha!"

"But isn't that a bit too extreme? In the end, what should define what is normal and what is abnormal? Everyone has a different opinion."

"That's right."

After chatting for a while, they got down to business. Gojo Satoru said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Although this is your first mission, I've been a bit busy lately, so I have to excuse myself from this mission. I apologize."

"But with your abilities, there's nothing to worry about."

At this point, he smiled easily and said:

"Of course, although I can't accompany you on the mission, I've assigned a trustworthy junior to mentor you. He also has a mysterious partner of the same rank as you. Stay tuned!"

She said to look forward to it, but after hearing Gojo Satoru's description, she had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

"Mr. Gojo, we've arrived at our destination."

After a while, the car arrived at its destination and stopped.

On the sidewalk directly opposite the car window, a surging crowd of people came and went.

Amid the ever-flowing crowd, two people stood quietly by the roadside, waiting for something, looking somewhat out of place.

One of the two was a middle-aged blond man wearing a white suit and strange glasses. He looked very capable and had the air of a social elite.

Another person was a young man with a pink spiky hairstyle, wearing a college student uniform, who was probably about the same age as her.

Gojo Satoru rolled down the car window and waved cheerfully to the two of them:

"Hey, over here!"

"Teacher Gojo!"

Upon seeing Gojo Satoru, the pink-haired hedgehog happily trotted over to greet him.

A middle-aged man with blond hair slowly walked over. Fujimaru Ritsuka got off the car with Gojo Satoru and stood next to him, sizing up the two people opposite.

Gojo Satoru enthusiastically introduced the situation to both sides:

"This is Fujimaru Ritsuka, a first-year student at a vocational high school. This is her first time on a mission."

"This is Nanami Kento, a first-level sorcerer, and Itadori Yuujin, who is also a first-year student at the vocational high school."

"I'm counting on you guys for this mission!"

Chapter 17: Rendezvous, Hisuhito and Nana Ming

Yuujin Itadori looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru in front of him. No matter how you looked at her, she was an incredibly cute girl, completely different from Kugizaki!

"Hello, my name is Hisahito Itadori, nice to meet you!"

He greeted Fujimaru Ritsuka warmly, then asked with some curiosity:

"Are you also a first-year student? But I've never seen you before."

Fujimaru Ritsuka replied:

"Hello, I'm Fujimaru Ritsuka. Nice to meet you. I just enrolled these past two days."

"So that's it."

Yuji Itadori suddenly realized, and then he quickly asked:

"What about Fushiguro and Kugizaki? Have you seen them? How are they doing now?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and said:

"Yes, I've met them. They're currently preparing for the upcoming sister school exchange event in Kyoto."

"Wild Rose mentioned you to me."

Hisahito Itadori asked in surprise, "Eh, what did she say about me?"
