Although Miyauchi Hikage stayed up until 3 AM because of Ichinose Chizuru's matter, he still got up early the next day.
After all, a few days ago, he had made an appointment with Yotsuya Miko and the others at Jujutsu High to finish off Sakurajima Mai's matter.
With his current physical condition, sleeping a few hours less a day wouldn't affect his state at all.
And when he arrived at Jujutsu High, not only had Yotsuya Miko and the others arrived in advance, but even Gojo Satoru rarely appeared again.
"Yo, Miyauchi-kun, you're here. Haven't seen you for half a month. I heard you seem to have developed many tricks for your ability?"
Seeing Miyauchi Hikage's arrival, Gojo Satoru still greeted Miyauchi Hikage casually without any formality.
Although Miyauchi Hikage didn't come to Jujutsu High often during this period, and the commissions he received were not difficult.
But he also cooperated with Shinomiya Kaguya to complete several Grade 1 and 2 commissions. Judging from Shinomiya Kaguya's mission records (with Miyauchi Hikage's consent, Shinomiya Kaguya wrote Miyauchi Hikage's development of abilities into the mission records), Miyauchi Hikage's development of his abilities was already relatively high. Not only could he directly control those low-level vengeful spirits, but that fate ability could even directly cause great suppression to Grade 1 vengeful spirits.
Combined with the opponent's performance of easily defeating Zenin Maki head-on in close combat and weapon combat more than once, many rumors had spread in Jujutsu High that Miyauchi Hikage was the second Okkotsu Yuta.
Some even felt that Miyauchi Hikage's speed of becoming special-grade was faster than Okkotsu Yuta back then.
Originally, Gojo Satoru didn't take this seriously until Yaga Masamichi mentioned to him the ambiguous attitude of the jujutsu higher-ups towards Miyauchi Hikage, then he became interested in this matter.
He came here today not only for Sakurajima Mai, this future half-student, but also to see Miyauchi Hikage's current quality.
In fact, half a month ago, when he met Miyauchi Hikage for the first time, he could feel Miyauchi Hikage's concealment.
And now twenty days later, Miyauchi Hikage, as an ordinary person, showed a historical-level genius performance. Those bugs in the jujutsu higher-ups not only didn't want to completely control this young genius, but even showed extra preferential treatment to this genius.
One should know that when Okkotsu Yuta rose back then, the jujutsu higher-ups wanted to kill him directly to avoid future threats at the beginning, and then also wanted to use various ways to control the other party.
But on Miyauchi Hikage's side, it became "it is our duty to maintain the growth of excellent juniors in the jujutsu world."
Just this point was enough to make people curious about Miyauchi Hikage's background.
Facing Gojo Satoru's greeting, Miyauchi Hikage continued to maintain his persona, nodding friendly to the other party: "Just some simple applications of power, nothing impressive."
Listening to this, Yotsuya Miko's mouth twitched there.
This week she accompanied Sakurajima Mai to many places to relax, helped the other party untie many knots, and allowed the other party to simply control her ability. She didn't deal with Miyauchi Hikage much.
It was just that although she hadn't contacted Miyauchi Hikage, Miyauchi Hikage's fame spread throughout the chat group.
Especially in the early hours of last night, after Ichinose Chizuru told the scene where Miyauchi Hikage stood still in the illusion yesterday, and Shadow Chizuru's clone army was annihilated while chatting and laughing, Miyauchi Hikage became one of the characters in the group who could not be provoked the most.
After all, an assassin who looked battle-hardened inexplicably tripped while walking on the road, which was fine, but he also broke his leg directly. To what extent did he have to be unlucky?
Especially according to Miyauchi Hikage, because he was favored by fate, even calling out Miyauchi Hikage's name might be detected by the other party and affected by the other party's power.
This was like someone cursing Miyauchi Hikage at home, and the next moment they could drink water and send themselves to the hospital.
Such insidious power made the girls in the group unable to generate any idea of standing on the opposite side of Miyauchi Hikage.
However, she also had a little expectation in her heart.
After all, looking at Gojo Satoru's meaning, did this strongest jujutsu sorcerer want to spar with Miyauchi Hikage?
A spar between such top powerhouses should be more exciting, right?
Is this something a small weakling like her can see?
It was just a pity that although Gojo Satoru did have such an idea and didn't think he had any possibility of losing, it was obviously not at this time.
After all, the main purpose today was to deal with Sakurajima Mai's matter.
Therefore, after chatting for a few sentences, Gojo Satoru focused his attention on Sakurajima Mai again.
Not seen for a week, it seemed that Sakurajima Mai's skin was slightly tanned compared to before.
However, even if slightly tanned, with Sakurajima Mai's skin color, it was still considered fair.
Yotsuya Miko briefly explained Sakurajima Mai's current situation with the jujutsu sorcerer who traveled with them.
The previous Sakurajima Mai had been affected by the Cursed Object buried in their school, so she awakened supernatural abilities, and this ability even carried a trace of cursed energy.
The previous Sakurajima Mai couldn't control this power due to insufficient spirit, causing her awakened power to go out of control.
According to the assessment, supernatural beings below Grade 2 couldn't sense Sakurajima Mai's existence.
Of course, except for psychics like Yotsuya Miko who had special-grade Yin-Yang Eyes.
After removing the influence of the Cursed Object originating from the demigod's heart, Sakurajima Mai's ability didn't continue to run wild, and in this week, she revisited the places where she had filmed over the years, considered to have regained her original intention.
So her mental state was much more stable than last week.
Although she still couldn't fully control her power, and it seemed that many people on the Internet still hadn't recalled Sakurajima Mai's existence.
But at least those around her gradually recalled her existence.
And she wouldn't casually let everyone forget her anymore.
Of course, actually, Sakurajima Mai's knot hadn't been completely untied.
Her mother still didn't remember Sakurajima Mai's matter.
Because in Sakurajima Mai's heart, she still hadn't fully summoned the courage to resist her mother's control over her.
However, it was simple to solve this kind of thing now.
If wanting it fast, just let the girls in the group go to the Metaverse to change Sakurajima Mai's mother's heart.
If not so anxious, let Sakurajima Mai join Jujutsu High to cultivate cursed energy.
Although the mentality of supernatural beings shouldn't be arrogant towards ordinary people.
But people with power would indeed have changes in mentality.
Sakurajima Mai just hadn't completely converted her mind yet. When she realized that she didn't need to be controlled by her mother anymore, this knot would naturally be untied.
According to Miyauchi Hikage's idea, this way of Sakurajima Mai awakening resistance herself was better.
The power of changing hearts was also equivalent to a kind of mind control in some people's hearts. This power indeed needed to be used cautiously.
Even if this power was to be used, it must be used with Sakurajima Mai's knowledge and consent.
Shiina Mahiru actually already knew a little about the Metaverse under the deliberate disclosure of Shiina Mashiro and Miyauchi Hikage.
But until now, Shiina Mahiru hadn't made a decision whether to change the heart of her mother who abandoned her daughter and family to seek new love outside.
However, sure enough, the plot of Bunny Girl Senpai had been completely changed.
Miyauchi Hikage thought so in his heart.
What exactly was the original Adolescence Syndrome, and how did it come about? There was no definite answer in the whole book.
The only thing that could be confirmed was that this symptom mostly appeared on young people, and most of the time it was because the patients themselves had some psychological problems that led to the appearance in the form of superpowers.
And generally speaking, after solving the psychological problems of these patients, they could return to normal and become ordinary people again.
And those abilities would dissipate with the disappearance of the symptoms.
It was just that the concept of Adolescence Syndrome hadn't appeared here yet.
The male protagonist who first proposed this concept in the work didn't exist at all.
Miyauchi Hikage hadn't been idle this week. He spent a lot of effort investigating Sakurajima Mai's school, and then hacked into the local household registration system to investigate the name of that male protagonist.
The result was that not only did that male protagonist not exist, but even many supporting roles in the book disappeared.
This situation reminded Miyauchi Hikage of Suzumiya Haruhi.
After all, Suzumiya Haruhi seemed to be in a similar situation.
Although this world had North High and Kouyouen Academy, there were no other protagonists and supporting roles from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya in those schools.
Only Suzumiya Haruhi and her family came to this world quietly. Except for Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai who was responsible for investigating Suzumiya Haruhi noticing this at the beginning, others didn't realize any problem with Suzumiya Haruhi's appearance at all.
However, under the current world correction force, or perhaps also under the influence of Suzumiya Haruhi's own power, let alone Hayasaka Ai, even Shinomiya Kaguya and Kasumigaoka Utaha would almost forget that there was a Suzumiya Haruhi in Miyauchi Hikage's class if not mentioned actively.
Maybe Sakurajima Mai was in the same situation, transmigrating here at a young age, embarking on the original path in this world as well, and obtaining the same ability as she got Adolescence Syndrome in the original work after supernatural awakening.
The only difference was that after this power appeared, not only would it not disappear, but it could also be freely controlled by Sakurajima Mai, and maybe Sakurajima Mai could push this ability to a higher level in the future.
Miyauchi Hikage pondered. After listening to these explanations, the jujutsu sorcerer in charge analyzed Sakurajima Mai's ability situation again, considered to have analyzed Sakurajima Mai's potential as well.
If Sakurajima Mai was willing to cultivate cursed energy, she should be able to become a Grade 1 supernatural being relying on this power in the future, and belonged to the kind of supernatural being with quite useful abilities.
Not only eliminating her own presence but also making people subconsciously ignore all things related to her—such an ability was indeed very useful in intelligence gathering and sneak attacks.
And after getting along with Yotsuya Miko and the others for a week, Sakurajima Mai didn't have any resistance to joining Jujutsu High now.
The only problem was that after joining Jujutsu High, she hoped to continue her acting work externally.
After a week of relaxation, visiting the places where she had filmed, and recalling her thoughts when filming back then, Sakurajima Mai strengthened her belief.
If Sakurajima Mai was asked to give up these things, it would be denying her existence value again.
It was just about this point, it seemed that Jujutsu High still had many other opinions.
To be precise, those jujutsu higher-ups who did nothing all day but pointed fingers at Jujutsu High felt that "the ways of the ancestors cannot be changed." Even if the spiritual resurgence was irresistible, they couldn't stand up to be the first ones to break the rules.
Letting someone like Sakurajima Mai join Jujutsu High was fine, but the other party still wanted to show her face outside, risking exposing the jujutsu world. This was certainly not allowed!
Seeing Gojo Satoru shrug and say these words, Sakurajima Mai's face didn't look very good.
But in the next moment, Gojo Satoru waved his hand indifferently: "But don't mind it. Those jujutsu higher-ups are such guys. I've never seen them do anything serious."
"And although Jujutsu High cannot formally accept you as a student, it is no problem to be an extra-staff student like Miyauchi-kun. We won't miss any treatment that high school students can have, and it is even freer than high school students in other aspects. This is actually more suitable for your current situation, Mai-san."
Those jujutsu higher-ups might have wanted to say something originally, but after Gojo Satoru brought out Miyauchi Hikage as a special case to talk about, they finally stopped.
It was unknown whether it was because they thought of the fact that this Sakurajima Mai was originally found and recommended to Jujutsu High by Miyauchi Hikage.
After Gojo Satoru finished speaking, Sakurajima Mai breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, she didn't have to join Jujutsu High, but having a backing could reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles. Since extra-staff students of Jujutsu High could also enjoy normal treatment without being subjected to too many constraints, it was a good choice for her.
Her gaze fell on Miyauchi Hikage, who stood up and found her a week ago when she thought she had been forgotten by the whole world, and showed a faint smile to the other party.
Seeming to indicate that they could be considered classmates now.
