This probability...
Are you kidding me?
Claiming a 50% chance when it's actually 10% or even lower!
Natsubi Raku was speechless, looking at the last three points in his account, his heart trembling.
Afraid of getting nothing, or just some fragments, but if he didn't draw, there would be nothing...
As the roulette spun rapidly, Natsubi Raku did a single draw. No matter how annoying it was, he would use up these three points today.
If he could get a C-rank ninjutsu, that would be great, as it would consume less cursed energy and could be used frequently. Anything higher, and he couldn't afford it.
But these were just fantasies. He suddenly felt that his luck had been entirely spent when he got that B-rank ninjutsu last time.
As the roulette stopped, the pointer pointed to a C-rank ninjutsu, but Natsubi Raku wasn't surprised; he was calculating how many fragments were needed to combine a C-rank ninjutsu.
[Congratulations on obtaining a fragment of the C-rank ninjutsu: Phoenix Flower Jutsu. You need five fragments to synthesize the ninjutsu.]
Five fragments...
Whatever, let's continue. Who knows when the remaining four will appear.
The roulette continued to spin, and Natsubi Raku's attention shifted to the crowd around him. He had moved barely a meter from the entrance after three minutes.
Three minutes to move a meter...
Even a turtle would be faster. It's just a handshake and autograph; why so slow?
"Whoa~!"
An excited shout caught Natsubi Raku's attention.
"Please sign my shirt. No! Draw a heart on my chest and sign inside it!"
"Okay."
Takada, having seen it all, wasn't fazed by the tall man. No, not just tall—he was huge!
He must be at least 190 cm tall, with clear muscle definition. He looked so strong!
Heh, am I that attractive?
Takada picked up the pen and drew a heart on the man's chest, signing her name inside, and said, "Stay energetic today too!"
"Of course, Takada-chan!"
Todo Aoi dropped his shirt, ready to leave, then thought of something and asked for another autograph on his shirt. "Please, on my shirt too!"
"Okay~."
Satisfied, Todo Aoi left but suddenly sensed cursed energy. He looked towards the source and saw a black-haired boy staring at him, wearing the Tokyo Jujutsu High uniform.
Natsubi Raku smiled calmly, whispering, "Found him, and there's an unexpected surprise!"
[Congratulations on obtaining the C-rank ninjutsu: Fireball Jutsu.]
[Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu: Consumes 100 points of cursed energy. The more cursed energy injected, the greater the damage.]
This final draw hit the C-rank ninjutsu slot again, and this time, it delivered.
But...
Do I have a connection with Fire Style?
Fire Annihilation, Fireball Jutsu, Phoenix Flower Jutsu fragment, and Flying Thunder God fragment.
Three of them are related to Fire Style. Am I destined to follow the Uchiha path?
Fire Style: Can't Burn Anything Jutsu!
Natsubi Raku left the line, walking towards Todo Aoi.
What's this guy doing? We don't seem to know each other.
Todo Aoi watched the boy approaching, confused. Judging by his youthful face, he was a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, new to the school.
They had never met before. Could it be that they were kindred spirits?
Yeah, he must be here for Takada's autograph too. A fellow jujutsu sorcerer, both liking the same idol—what a coincidence.
Before Natsubi Raku could introduce himself, Todo Aoi, with tears in his eyes, hugged him, saying, "I understand! We are the same kind of people!"
"Huh?"
No, what do you understand?
I haven't said anything yet!
Natsubi Raku was baffled. He just came to say hi and get familiar. What did Todo understand?
"Brother! Though we're not from the same school, as a second-year senior, I can't let you go back and wait again. Take this autograph!"
Todo Aoi said, taking off his shirt to reveal his muscular torso, carefully folding the shirt and handing it to Natsubi Raku.
Natsubi Raku: ???
No, I just came to say hi. Why are you taking off your shirt?
"No, there's no need..."
Before he could finish, Todo Aoi continued, "I'm Todo Aoi, and I like women with big chests. What about you?"
"..."
How awkward...
Natsubi Raku could feel the strange looks from those around him. He suddenly regretted coming here but braced himself, saying, "I'm Natsubi Raku, a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Nice to meet you. I like bold and brave girls."
"Oh! Is that so? Nice! Come, let's chat as we walk."
"Your shirt..."
"Forget it. You keep it as a souvenir. Takada's love is etched deeply in my heart, never to be forgotten!"
Todo Aoi said, touching the autograph on his chest with a blissful expression, scaring Natsubi Raku, who wanted to run away.
Is this a parallel universe where I turned into a guy?!
"Uh, okay..."
Holding the shirt, Natsubi Raku felt awkward. He made a good friend, but something felt off, like there was a misunderstanding.
After half an hour of chatting, Natsubi Raku excused himself to go cook. He couldn't stay another second, feeling the strange looks from the crowd.
This is ridiculous!
I'm out. If I don't go back to cook, the ingredients will no longer be fresh.
Half an hour later, getting out of the taxi, Natsubi Raku saw Principal Yaga talking to a man.
The man, dressed in a suit, looked like a successful businessman. A black sedan was parked nearby, with two tall, bald security guards standing sternly.
What the...
Which company's CEO is this, making such a scene?
As Natsubi Raku wondered, Principal Yaga's voice reached his ears:
"Raku, come here. I have a mission for you."
"Coming."
Natsubi Raku glanced at the man, feeling a sense of familiarity. He seemed to have seen a similar face before. Though he couldn't remember who, he politely said:
"Hello, I'm Natsubi Raku, a student at Jujutsu High."
"Hello, I'm Otsuchi Ichitaki. I hope we can get along well in the coming days."
Get along well...
What the...
Natsubi Raku looked at Principal Yaga, his small eyes filled with confusion.
Principal Yaga cleared his throat and said, "Though the mission came suddenly, you'll need to protect Mr. Otsuchi's daughter from curses for the next half month."
"Huh?! Half a month?"
