Eating Avatar "Living off Others" Starting from Jujutsu Kaisen

Gojo Satoru, standing with Principal Gakuganji and Principal Yaga, spoke when he heard this.

"Huh? Besides the people from the two Jujutsu Highs, are there others coming to watch this exchange event?"

Utahime Iori said with some surprise.

Logically speaking, given the personalities of sorcerers outside of Jujutsu High, it was rare for anyone to specifically make time to watch a competition focused on sparring and exchange between students. After all, except for a few oddballs like Gojo Satoru, most adult sorcerers rarely cared about matters that didn't concern them.

Just then, several figures walking from a distance came into view.

Leading the way was Makima, dressed in a women's suit, exuding an aura of sharp competence, followed casually by An Xiu with a lazy expression beside her, and Seele next to him.

At this moment, sensing the arrival of the three, the students from the two Jujutsu Highs, who had been filled with palpable tension, quieted down.

"Senpai, who are they?"

Among the Kyoto Jujutsu High students, Miwa Kasumi, with her blue hair, cautiously asked the people beside her.

"They are the new high-ranking officials from Tokyo's Supervision Committee, Makima, who is fully in charge of all sorcerer-related affairs in Tokyo."

"And... Seele ! Who recently became the fifth Special Grade sorcerer just over a month ago, rumored to have defeated the current head of the Gojo family, Gojo Satoru!"

Standing nearby, Noritoshi Kamo from the Kamo family, one of the Jujutsu World's great families, spoke with a serious tone.

Chapter 30: Utahime Iori's Shock, The Attack Arrives

"Yo, Miss Makima, and young Mr. An Xiu, and Miss Seele. I didn't expect you three to be together."

Seeing the three arrive, Gojo Satoru from not far away immediately called out to them.

Yes, the reason An Xiu and Seele were here was at the invitation of Gojo Satoru.

"Mr. Gojo Satoru, it's our first meeting. And Principal Yaga, Principal Gakuganji, Miss Utahime."

After nodding at the four people in front of him, Makima then looked at An Xiu and Seele beside her.

"I happened to meet Mr. An Xiu and Miss Seele on the road. We got along well and had the same destination, so we decided to travel together. I hope we haven't caused any trouble for everyone."

"Miss Makima is too kind. As long as Miss Seele and Mr. An Xiu don't mind."

Gakuganji Yaga said with a stern expression.

In fact, he had always been curious about Seele, the newly promoted Special Grade sorcerer who could make the usually confident Gojo Satoru personally admit defeat. Now that he had met her, even he couldn't help but marvel at how she had achieved such accomplishments at such a young age.

Judging by her appearance, she seemed to be only around middle school age. Although eighty percent of a sorcerer's strength came from talent, Seele before him had truly refreshed his worldview over the years.

After all, even Gojo Satoru back then couldn't possess such strength at this age.

"Is she the Special Grade who defeated Gojo Satoru?"

Utahime Iori beside them was also carefully observing Seele. When she learned that the annoying Gojo Satoru had been defeated, while she felt a sense of relief, her first reaction was also disbelief.

After all, as Gojo Satoru's senior in Jujutsu High, Utahime Iori knew how powerful Gojo Satoru was.

It was hard to imagine that such a monster could also be defeated, and that the one who accomplished this was the young girl before her, who looked petite and cute, and even gave off a timid impression at first glance.

As if noticing Utahime Iori's gaze, Seele's eyes met Utahime Iori's briefly, and then she gave her a sweet smile.

Instantly, Utahime Iori felt as if she had been healed.

Compared to that scoundrel Gojo Satoru, the girl before her was like an angel. She really wanted to hold her and cuddle her.

How happy would that be if it were possible?

But this was just a thought; after all, the girl before her was a Special Grade sorcerer, and capable of defeating Gojo Satoru. She was likely someone that even the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World couldn't control, just like Gojo Satoru.

Who would dare to do anything disrespectful to such a person?

Then, Utahime Iori saw someone directly do what she only dared to think in her heart but absolutely dared not do.

"I'm feeling a bit bored. When will the exchange event start?"

A pair of hands directly wrapped around Seele, pulling the petite girl into his embrace. An Xiu leaned his entire body against Seele.

Seele showed no dissatisfaction, only asking with concern, "Is An Xiu-bro tired? Then lean on Seele and rest for a while."

No, who is this guy?

Although she wanted to say this, Utahime Iori opened her mouth and found that she didn't seem to have the right to say it. So, she could only try to hide her inner shock and silently close her mouth.

Gakuganji Yaga, on the other hand, had heard from Gojo Satoru about the relationship between the newly promoted Special Grade sorcerer Seele and An Xiu beside her. But seeing it firsthand, he was still surprised by their intimate relationship.

"Ahem, since our guests can't wait any longer, I will now explain the rules for the team battle of this exchange event."

The rules for the team battle were simple: Grade 2 cursed spirits and varying numbers of Grade 3 cursed spirits would be placed in a pre-prepared venue at Jujutsu High, and then the students from the two Jujutsu Highs would be placed in the venue.

Whoever could first kill the Grade 2 cursed spirit or more Grade 3 cursed spirits would achieve victory.

After announcing the rules, Gakuganji Yaga gave the Jujutsu High students some time to prepare, and then Makima, the principals of the two Jujutsu Highs, Utahime Iori, Gojo Satoru, An Xiu, and Seele, among others, headed to the monitoring room.

Soon, it was time for the competition to officially begin. Gojo Satoru held the microphone and repeated the previous rules.

"Then, I declare the competition officially begun!"

Following Gojo Satoru's command, on the screen in the monitoring room, the students of Jujutsu High began to move.

Then, as expected, a portion of the monitor quickly went black.

Coincidentally, all the Kyoto Jujutsu High students and Itadori Yuji also disappeared from the monitor.

Anyone could see what was going on in this situation.

"Is this your intention, Principal Gakuganji?"

Faced with the situation, Gojo Satoru's smile had taken on a cold edge at some point as he spoke to Principal Gakuganji beside him.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Principal Gakuganji naturally wouldn't admit it and immediately stated that he didn't understand Gojo Satoru's meaning.

"Then, is this the intention of the higher-ups?"

Seeing this, Gojo Satoru turned his gaze to Makima beside him.

"The higher-ups would never harm students who are still in school, at least I can guarantee that's the case on my end,"

Makima said with a perfectly fitting smile, speaking calmly to Gojo Satoru.

In fact, this operation to surround and kill Itadori Yuji had nothing to do with the Jujutsu World's higher-ups. After all... most of the higher-ups in the Jujutsu World were already under Makima's control.

Collecting fingers to restore Sukuna's power, and then defeating him to offer points to the master, this was the approach that aligned with the master's interests. Therefore, Makima naturally would not act to prematurely eliminate Itadori Yuji, who was Sukuna's vessel.

And Makima's intention was the intention of the current higher-ups of the Jujutsu World. In other words, this action to surround and kill Itadori Yuji was entirely the decision of Gakuganji Yoshinobu, the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High.

Seeing that Makima appeared not to be lying, Gojo Satoru tentatively believed her and then prepared to shift his focus back to Principal Gakuganji.

However, at that moment, all the surveillance screens in the monitoring room suddenly disappeared at the same time.

Then...

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE—!!!

A massive surge of cursed energy exploded in the direction of the forest, followed by soaring flames.

"Wh-what happened? This cursed energy..."

Staring at the change in the forest, Utahime Iori covered her mouth in fear.

With such a terrifying scale of cursed energy, what exactly had happened in the forest?

"Someone has infiltrated Jujutsu High, but why didn't the barrier here have any effect in blocking them, and why wasn't even the most basic alarm triggered?"

Gakuganji Yaga also looked in the direction of the forest with a solemn expression.

"Jujutsu High has been infiltrated right under our noses..."

Principal Gakuganji's already gloomy face became even gloomier.

"Principal Yaga and Principal Gakuganji, go and check the situation with Lord Tengen. Everyone else will come with me to the forest to protect the students of Jujutsu High."

At this moment, Makima, who had the highest authority among everyone present, stood up and arranged the tasks for them.

PS: Regarding the pacing of this book, the reason the protagonist is in such a hurry to collect points is mainly because, according to the outline, the abilities of the characters in the next world are very expensive. The two worlds that are likely to be written next are Izayoi Sakuya from the JOJO world, and Yurudai'er + Sakura from the DanMachi world. The ability to manipulate time costs over 100,000, and the 54 Sakura cards are even more outrageous. Even if the author intends for the protagonist to buy them one by one, it's still a lot. Therefore, unconsciously, the protagonist has been written to be a bit too eager for points in the Jujutsu world. The author will try to be more mindful of this later.

Chapter 31: An Xiu's Acting, Makima's Arrangement

No one had any objections to Makima's arrangements, and they immediately got up and left the monitoring room in two groups.

Gakuganji Yaga and Gakuganji Yoshinobu went to check on Tengen's situation as a precaution. The rest headed from the main gate towards the direction from which the massive cursed energy originated, which was the forest area where the Jujutsu High students were, to search for the intruder.

However, as soon as they walked out of the main gate, everyone saw a dark barrier descending from above the forest in the distance, covering the entire forest.

"It's a Curtain; someone has erected a barrier here."

Utahime Iori said with a solemn expression.

"It seems like a curse user is at play?"

Gojo Satoru's tone was still very casual, but his eyes under the blindfold had taken on a dangerous aura at some point.

Quickly approaching the black barrier, Gojo Satoru circulated his cursed energy and reached out to destroy the barrier in front of him.

Bang!

A sound of colliding cursed energy rang out. Unexpectedly, Gojo Satoru's hand was repelled by the barrier.

"How can this be?"

Utahime Iori on the side looked astonished. A seemingly ordinary barrier was actually able to stop Gojo Satoru?

Thinking of this, Utahime Iori also reached out to touch the barrier in front of her.

However, when she touched the barrier herself, her hand passed through it without any obstruction, as if the barrier didn't exist.

"Wait, why were you repelled, but I could enter?"

"It's a binding vow-like effect."

At this moment, Makima from behind walked forward and said.

"In exchange for the effect of only one person being unable to enter, everyone else can enter and exit freely."

As for the single person who couldn't enter, it was clearly Gojo Satoru among those present.

"Very skillful barrier technique. It seems to be a curse user of a very high level."

"What should we do now? The students from both Jujutsu Highs are still inside the barrier. If they encounter the intruder..."

Utahime Iori's expression turned grim. The fact that the other party could set up such a specifically targeted barrier in advance clearly showed they were prepared. Regardless of their objective, the Jujutsu High students trapped inside the barrier were now in grave danger.

"No need to rush. While the opponent has blocked me here with this barrier, I'm not the only Special Grade sorcerer present."

Although slightly surprised by the skill of the person who erected the barrier, Gojo Satoru didn't appear flustered.

After all, what if blocking him here was all they planned? The very act of setting up such a barrier indicated that the invaders were wary of his strength and, knowing they likely couldn't defeat him, had decided to intercept him beforehand.

But if they couldn't defeat him, did that mean they could defeat Seele?

"Miss Seele once defeated Gojo Satoru, and she also possesses a Cursed Technique that allows for spatial movement. Even if the barrier erected by the opponent can block Mr. Gojo Satoru, I doubt it would be a match for Miss Seele," Makima said, glancing at An Xiu and Seele beside her.

"Miss Seele, I am requesting your assistance, on behalf of the Jujutsu World's higher-ups, to help rescue the Jujutsu High students trapped within the barrier. I ask that you accompany me and Miss Utahime Iori into the barrier to save them."

"Afterward, I will personally visit and provide both of you with satisfactory compensation."

Gojo Satoru and Utahime Iori, standing nearby, understood the implication of Makima's words.

She requested assistance in the name of the Jujutsu World's higher-ups, but when it came to compensation, she only mentioned herself.

This meant that even if the higher-ups decided to renege on the deal later, Makima would personally cover the payment for An Xiu and Seele.

Was this her way of dispelling their concerns, perhaps because she worried they wouldn't trust the integrity of the higher-ups, and she didn't want to waste precious time needed to rescue the students?

It seemed Makima was truly different from other Jujutsu World higher-ups. She was a leader who genuinely considered the well-being of ordinary sorcerers, unlike those "rotten oranges" who completely disregarded the lives of those beneath them.

As for why she didn't directly command Seele to help in her capacity as a Jujutsu World higher-up... that was out of the question. When An Xiu and Seele first joined the Jujutsu World, they had explicitly stated they would not accept any commands from the higher-ups. Gojo Satoru himself had conveyed this condition. Therefore, to gain Seele's cooperation now, even they had to seek the young girl's opinion.

In response, Seele turned her gaze to An Xiu beside her.

"Do you want to go, Seele?"

An Xiu asked.
