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

A child, torch in hand, rampages through the dark night of the mundane world.

He couldn't help but take a half step forward, his fingertips yearning to touch that cluster of light that had scorched the world.

So this is what attraction is.

Xia Youjie would sometimes quietly watch her, thinking—

Honestly... He can't even take care of himself, yet he's always thinking about helping others.

He's not good at dealing with people, often makes a fool of himself, and always acts self-righteous.

...But it is precisely because of you that I feel that I don't have to bear everything alone.

So, I'll fill in the gaps in your skills.

Anyway, I've decided to protect this idiot.

Xia Youjie stood steadily in front of Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu, upon suddenly seeing a tall, imposing figure appear before her: ? ? ?

She silently stood up, peeked out from behind Xia Youjie, and observed the perplexing scene before her.

Just when the atmosphere was so tense that a full-blown fight could break out at any moment, the classroom door creaked open and Night Moth Masamichi walked in, carrying books.

His gaze swept over the two men, who were clearly on edge, and the other two onlookers. After a moment of silence, they felt an urge to turn around and leave.

But his sense of responsibility stopped him.

With heavy steps, he stood in front of the podium and meticulously told everyone to return to their seats. After saying a few simple words, he asked the students, who were still quite unfamiliar with each other, to introduce themselves one by one.

"Ugh, this is so troublesome." Gojo Satoru spoke first, lazily standing up with his hands in his pockets. "Gojo Satoru, the technique is 'No Limits Technique'."

He grinned and turned his head provocatively toward Xia Youjie: "My hobby is sweets, and my special skill is... knocking down a certain weird fringe with one finger."

Xia Youjie: "...Heh."

Moth tried to ignore Gojo Satoru's attempt to fan the flames: "...Next."

Xia Youjie suppressed his anger and rose gracefully, his long, almond-shaped eyes slightly curved, his earring gleaming discreetly in the sunlight: "Xia Youjie, the technique is 'Spirit Manipulation Technique'."

His voice was gentle and polite, a stark contrast to the flamboyant Gojo Satoru beside him.

"I hope to get along well with everyone."

Night Moth Masamichi understood Xia Youjie's personality and knew that his actions were also a response to Gojo's provocation.

Who would have thought that the two would clash on the very first day of school?

Moth paused for a moment, nodded, and shifted its gaze to the back of the classroom.

The brown-haired girl, having witnessed another spectacle, slowly straightened up: "Ieiri Shoko, the technique is 'Reversal Technique.'"

She yawned, her eyes half-closed.

“I don’t have any particular hobbies, except for drinking…” She glanced at Moth’s suddenly changed expression, coughed twice, pretending to have misspoke, and added, “My hobby is reading medical books.”

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Yu.

After Zhu Yu, who had been disconnected throughout the entire process, noticed this, she looked back at each of the previous events.

Why are you all looking at the players? The players need to look back too.

Moth's eyes were lifeless: "...[Kuzi] It's your turn to introduce yourself."

Chapter 120 True and False Techniques

"Hello everyone, I am [Meichuan Kuzi]."

Zhu Yu reported his game ID.

After the round of self-introductions, the [???] above the heads of the unfamiliar NPCs were all replaced with their names.

Because of the positive affinity bonus from being on the same side, these two NPCs, who were meeting for the first time, had friendly green names above their heads.

Yay! Two new, beautiful NPCs!

Zhu Yu gently lifted her finger, and the potted plant by the classroom window suddenly grew wildly. The emerald green vines meandered down, and to everyone's astonishment, two flowers bloomed—one drifted down to Glass's desk, while the other spun and flew towards Gojo Satoru.

"These are for you, I hope you like them."

Xia You and Ye Mo exchanged a glance: ... [Ku Zi] has brought flowers again.

However, they are also happy to see her build good relationships with her future contemporaries.

Glass pinched the stem of the pansy, and a slight fluctuation of magical energy emanated from her fingertips.

She widened her eyes slightly, then suddenly smiled: "A very interesting technique."

After countless unsuccessful attempts to persuade Zhu Yu not to use her powers in front of others, Moth gave in and simply allowed Zhu Yu to register her spell as "Lost Garden".

People are born with all sorts of techniques, not just the path of being passed down from their ancestors. Sometimes a technique that has never appeared before will suddenly emerge.

In order to disguise this different system as a spell, Moth suggested that she simultaneously cover it with a layer of cursed power when activating her supernatural ability.

Experiments have shown that as long as the spell power is fully applied, it can completely deceive people into believing it is real.

And so, her surgical procedure was determined on the college admission registration form.

—As for why Zhu Yu remembered to bring her curse power when activating her supernatural ability...

The supernatural ability is covered with a layer of cursed power, doubling its attack power.

Player 1: Great! It's an attack buff!

*

Wu Tiao Wu began to keep a close eye on Zhu Yu the moment she activated her superpower.

The six eyes can see through the opponent's spells and detect the source of the curse power.

In his eyes, she did not activate any spells; the spell power was simply released.

He pinched the flower petal, thinking he had discovered another "little secret" from his time: "Hey, hey, this isn't—"

Moth suddenly interrupted, appearing between the two of them without them even noticing.

"Now, everyone head to the training ground. Real combat is also an important part of the self-introduction."

On the tree-lined path leading to the training ground, Gojo Satoru suddenly darted in front of Zhu Yu, walking backwards. His white hair was almost transparent in the sunlight, bouncing with each movement.

Xia Youjie and Jia Ruga walked ahead.

With his deliberate dawdling, he and Zhu Yu fell far behind.

This created the perfect opportunity for a conversation.

"Hey, hey." He suddenly leaned closer, his round sunglasses sliding down to the tip of his nose, his eyes gleaming with curiosity. "That move just now definitely wasn't a spell, was it? What exactly is your spell?"

The moment the boy suddenly approached, it was as if he had stolen all the color from the world.

White eyelashes, like feather fans sculpted from ice crystals, cast delicate shadows on the eyelids, yet could not diminish the captivating allure of those swirling blue eyes—a blue so pure, as if blending the icy cliffs of the polar regions with the clear skies of midsummer, shimmering with a divine silver halo under the refraction of light.

The moment their eyes met, he fell into the sky.

His nose is high and straight, with lines as if carved by a master craftsman in one stroke, tapering to a perfect curve at the tip.

Her lips were a very light cherry pink, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned as she smiled.

Zhu Yu: ......

Oh no, an NPC's beauty attack!

Zhu Yu looked as if facing a formidable enemy, raising her hand to shield her eyes: "...Teacher Night Moth said to keep it a secret for now."

Although the moth's original words were, "Companions can be trusted, but whether or not to trust them is up to you."

"Wait until you feel you can entrust this to someone before you confess. For now, you can keep it a secret."

These are the words that Moth said after filling out the procedure registration form for her.

She has a secret, and since it's a secret, the fewer people who know it, the better.

Moth just hoped that the child wouldn't just blatantly strip everything bare on the very first day.

The moth worries, the moth prays.

Zhu Yu summarized it in general terms—keep it a secret for now!

Gojo Satoru's expression froze instantly, like a cat whose snack had been stolen.

When a cat gets angry, it makes a fuss.

“【Meichuan】, don’t listen to Moth so much. A while has already passed, so let’s call it ‘temporarily’.”

"Tell me already!"

Gojo's tone was completely matter-of-fact.

"In exchange, I can tell you the secret of Six Eyes~" Gojo Satoru moved closer to Zhu Yu, this time hooking his arm around her neck. "Tell me, tell me—"

Although her in-game age has increased to fourteen, and her character height has also increased considerably, but...

Suddenly pressed down by something heavy, she raised her head with a blank expression and glanced at the white-haired NPC, right in front of his chin.

Why are NPCs so tall?!

They're both 16-year-old NPCs, so how come he's taller than her black-haired and ochre-haired friends!

Zhu Yu refused to accept this and used vines to lift himself up, successfully achieving the same altitude as Wu Tiao Wu.

"Wow."

The person on the left suddenly grew taller, causing Gojo Satoru to raise his arm abruptly, prompting a curious exclamation.

They started chattering around Zhu Yu—

Zhu Yu: No, that's noise pollution.

Fortunately, sorcerers have far superior senses than ordinary people. Although Natsumi Yuki and Ieiri Shoko were walking in front, they were actually secretly keeping an eye on the movements behind them.

Noticing the commotion behind them, Xia Youjie stopped, turned around, pushed a noisy white-haired colleague aside, pulled Zhu Yu up, and the three of them walked side by side.

"Hey! That weirdo Liu Hai is forming a clique and excluding me!"

Wu Tiaowu forcefully squeezed next to Zhu Yu, causing Xia Youjie to stumble.

Xia Youjie's temple throbbed: "..."

"Gojo-kun, let's have a 'friendly' sparring session later."

He emphasized the word "friendly".

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru waved his hand without turning around: "Hey, you freak, wait a minute~ I'll finish fighting with [Meichuan] first!"

"......Ah."

Ieiri Shoko had already pulled Zhu Yu to her side when the two started arguing.

"How childish DK is."

She shook her head and offered her assessment without mincing words.

"Mmm." Zhu Yu nodded in agreement.

The NPCs are noisy but really beautiful.

Shoko Ieiri stared at her face for a long time, then remembered the flowers she had suddenly received and burst out laughing.

"You're quite an interesting person."

She casually straightened Zhu Yu's collar, which had been disheveled by Gotō Sō, reached out and ruffled his hair, a smile playing on her lips.

"Please guide me in the future, fellow students."

*

The group finally arrived at the training ground.

At Gojo Satoru's insistence, Yae did as he wished and arranged for him and Zhu Yu to practice together first.
