Someone in the Multiverse, Transformed into Fu Hua at the Start Chapter 38

But Yaga was faster, directly turning his back: "Jujutsu High isn't suitable for a young girl like you. Satoru, send her somewhere else."

"Somewhere else?"

Yuji looked at Gojo Satoru in confusion.

Gojo Satoru, however, looked at Amber.

Learning that she couldn't enroll, Amber was a little surprised, but considering Yaga's personality, it made sense.

"As a matter of fact, last night I told Principal Yaga about little Shier's situation."

Gojo Satoru explained with a smile: "The Gojo Clan is one of the three great Jujutsu families in Japan. Because Japan's national happiness rate is well-known, Japan's Jujutsu Sorcerers and curses are also far stronger than in most countries."

"Hey, Satoru!"

Hearing Gojo Satoru bring this up, Yaga turned around, a look of displeasure on his face.

"And the Gojo Clan naturally has some overseas assets and arrangements. So Principal Yaga and I decided that if little Shier couldn't pass the test, rather than having her freedom restricted by the Jujutsu world like this, it would be better to send her somewhere the Jujutsu world can't reach, and let her live out her life peacefully."

Gojo Satoru ignored Yaga's tsundere attitude and said directly: "Even though your power means you don't have to fear those Rotten Oranges, them constantly causing you trouble would be endlessly annoying. So this place has to be overseas."

Amber looked at Gojo Satoru, then at Yaga Masamichi.

Just from reading the original story, she knew this principal was a good person, but she hadn't expected him to go directly against the Director's Office like this for someone he'd never even met before.

'Ha, don't think too highly of him. He's just afraid that if you're really pushed too far, I'll be let out and go berserk.'

Black Amber curled her lip, pointing out the truth directly.

Whether it was what she herself thought, or what her other self thought, Amber felt it was a bit of both, and the combination of the two had led to Yaga's current decision.

"But Principal, aren't you being a bit too high-handed? Isn't it better to let the kids choose their own paths?"

Gojo Satoru shifted the topic, his eyes fixed intently on Amber: "So, little Shier, whether you want to join or not, it's your own choice."

Chapter 17: Exchange Student.

"If I don't enroll, can I not stay here?"

After thinking it over, Amber asked.

"Hm?"

Gojo Satoru was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized what Amber meant.

To be honest, Amber still needed the Jujutsu world's intelligence network. Not only because she needed to gain Recognition, but also because she wanted to keep track of the timeline in real time. However, she didn't want to be controlled by the Jujutsu world.

Thinking carefully, why couldn't she be a free agent like Tsukumo Yuki? It wasn't like she needed to learn Jujutsu, and she didn't have to worry about controlling Cursed Energy at all. With Tai Xu Sword Qi as her foundation, she was already adept at manipulating any kind of energy.

And as for having too few negative emotions, resulting in a very low amount of Cursed Energy... that was even less of a concern. She could always use her other self's Cursed Energy, and with her other self's reserves, she would never run out.

In other words, there was almost nothing Jujutsu High could teach her. Maybe only the general education classes would be useful, but she could also make up for those through her other self.

"Of course you can."

Having just boasted about giving young people the chance to choose their own paths, Gojo Satoru naturally didn't see a problem with this. If anything, Amber saying this actually surprised him a little.

"Satoru!"

Yaga frowned.

"Even if you refuse, it's useless."

Gojo Satoru spread his hands: "I'm a good judge of character. A kid like little Shier will definitely do what she wants, no matter how much you try to stop her."

"Besides, if she's really made up her mind, there's no stopping her anyway."

Looking at the young girl's demeanor, Yaga couldn't see where she matched Gojo Satoru's description, but at least that last part was correct.

With that thought, Yaga Masamichi could only sigh. He didn't think she was suited for the Jujutsu world at all, but if she insisted, he could only offer whatever help he could.

But he didn't forget to remind her: "If any bad situation arises, give up on the Jujutsu world."

Knowing this meant he agreed, Amber obediently nodded.

"Great! But this makes things a bit troublesome. I already processed little Shier's transfer, but if she doesn't transfer in, she'll become a dropout."

Gojo Satoru stroked his chin.

A dropout? No way!

Amber definitely didn't want that. Maybe a lot of people dropped out because of financial difficulties, but in the general sense, dropouts were basically synonymous with delinquents.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it later."

Seeing Amber's familiar nervous expression, Gojo Satoru nodded, then smiled: "We'll keep your student status at Sugikawa, and you'll come to Jujutsu High as an exchange student for the time being. How does that sound?"

Yaga Masamichi had no interest in commenting on this roundabout approach. After all that talk, she was still a student at Jujutsu High in the end.

But actually, there was a difference. This way, Jujutsu High had no real hold over Amber, at least not on the surface. And as long as it wasn't on the surface, it would relieve a lot of Amber's psychological burden.

For one, she could say no to things she felt were unreasonable. For another, it would give her more freedom in her situation.

She wasn't the type to think 'I'm strong, so I make the rules.' Even though she hadn't received much formal education, she still leaned toward the idea of being a 'cog' in a larger whole.

In other words, even though she had the power of a strong person, she lacked the self-awareness of one.

Black Amber couldn't help with this, and neither could Fu Hua. Because self-awareness was something you had to feel for yourself. Realizing your own position and what you were capable of was something you could only understand through experience.

Gojo Satoru naturally understood Amber's meaning: "But if that's the case, those Rotten Oranges probably won't provide you with an Assistant Supervisor anymore, and their malice toward you will shift from the open to the shadows."

That didn't really matter; Gojo Satoru was just casually mentioning it. After all, since she was already at Jujutsu High, as long as she treated missions like 'extracurricular internships' and followed along with the other students, it would be fine. As for the malice, that was even less of a concern—did they really dare to lay a hand on Amber?

Anyway, that matter was set aside for now.

After finishing the enrollment topic, Gojo Satoru asked for Itadori Yuji's clothing size. Jujutsu High's uniforms were custom-tailored for each individual, so even though Itadori Yuji was enrolling now, there was no uniform on hand to give him right away.

As for Amber, since she wasn't technically a member of Jujutsu High, she didn't need the school uniform.

Gojo Satoru led the two through the school, explaining the function of each building while casually sharing some basic knowledge about the Jujutsu world. After finishing, he looked at Itadori: "But none of that matters—you just need to enjoy your youth here."

Talking about youth in a campus life filled with killing and negativity—how was anyone supposed to respond to that?

Fortunately, Itadori was still cheerful. He responded loudly, then finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a while: "Speaking of which, if you need me to find the fingers, why did Principal Yaga test us in the first place?"

"Because he's afraid that kids like you, who've never been exposed to Jujutsu, won't be able to adapt to life in the Jujutsu world."

Gojo Satoru wasn't surprised. Geto Suguru's defection had left an indelible mark on his heart, but that mark wasn't his alone—it was the same for his classmate Shoko and for Principal Yaga now.

"But rather than keeping you locked up at Jujutsu High while we go out and find the fingers to bring back for you to eat, I'd rather have you come out."

"Because no work, no food?"

Itadori blinked.

"Because Sukuna's fingers aren't that easy to find. There are twenty in total, but after all these years, the Jujutsu world only has seven."

Gojo Satoru smiled: "But now that you're here, the Sukuna inside you acts like a radar. To reclaim his own power, he'll tell you where the fingers are. So if you stay holed up, that'd be pretty troublesome~"

"Eh..."

Itadori Yuji's eye twitched: "In other words, as long as I stay holed up, this death sentence postponement is basically indefinite?"

After all, it took several hundred years to find just seven fingers.

"Haha, it's not that simple. The higher-ups won't just let you prance around right under their noses."

Gojo Satoru shattered his illusion.

"Figured as much..."

Itadori knew he was thinking too wishfully. He let out a heavy sigh, then asked another question: "Speaking of which, why did Shier-senpai come here? Principal Yaga mentioned Incarnation—is Shier also a vessel?"

Chapter 18: All Curses Annihilated Within Ten Years.

"Little Shier's situation is a bit special."

Gojo Satoru didn't intend to explain directly: "Anyway, if you run into any danger and the teacher isn't around, just leave it to Little Shier~"

"Eh? Shier's that strong?"

Itadori hadn't expected that answer. He looked at the girl beside him with some confusion.

She was a bit petite in height, but her skin was very fair, and her face was as cute as the photos he often saw—actually, too cute. Paired with her shy and reserved personality, Itadori found it hard to imagine that such a girl could be a Jujutsu Sorcerer stronger than him.

What did he mean by photos? Oh, there were always people at school who secretly took pictures of Shier and shared them in internal group chats—it was Shier's fan club. After all, such a cute beauty couldn't even be seen on big screens.

He counted himself a fan too, though his preferred type was the opposite of Shier—tall and with a hot figure.

But come to think of it, if he looked closely, Shier actually had surprisingly good assets.

"Don't scare your classmate."

Gojo Satoru reached out and tapped Itadori on the head.

"Ah, sorry!"

Itadori snapped back to reality, realizing his gaze had been a bit rude. He didn't mean anything by it, but since she was the easily embarrassed type, even without any ill intent, he must have caused her considerable discomfort.

"It's fine..."

Amber was indeed very uncomfortable.

In her previous world, since it wasn't her own body, it felt like watching through a screen, so it was okay. But in this world... even though it still wasn't her body, because it was so similar, Amber felt like she was browsing the internet under her real name.

She wasn't as socially anxious as in real life, but she wasn't much better off either.

Seeing Itadori look away and start talking with Gojo Satoru again, Amber poked at Black Amber inside her: 'Humans aren't that bad, are they? Even though we've only met once, Gojo-sensei already trusts you a lot.'

Black Amber curled her lips in boredom: 'Where's the trust in me? That's trust in you.'

'What's the difference?'

Amber had a different view: 'You and I are both Amber. Trusting me is the same as trusting you.'

'What a childish thought.'

Hearing Amber's naive reasoning, like 'my friend is your friend too,' Black Amber sneered inwardly. In the end, just as Fu Hua had said before, the Herrscher of Reason wasn't Fu Hua, and she wasn't Amber.

But those words reached her lips and wouldn't come out, stuck uncomfortably in her throat. Blaming Amber for making her feel this way, she snapped: 'Only you would be this naive. He's clearly trying to win you over!'

Feeling like that jab lacked any bite, Black Amber grew even more irritated: 'Forget it, I said you wouldn't understand anyway. I'm going to sleep.'

'You can sleep?'

Amber was a bit curious. Logically, without a body to restrain her, she shouldn't get tired.

But her question went unanswered.

'Another me?'

Amber called out again.

Hearing no reply for a long time, she could only wonder how Black Amber slept, while thinking she'd ask next time Black Amber came out.

On the other side.

Liao Mao had just finished dealing with the barrier and intended to check on the current state of those cursed spirits who had followed him from the original world and formed a bond. But the moment he stepped into the domain, the scene before him made even him, with millennia of composure, somewhat stunned.

"You... what are you doing?"

Facing the petite figure before him—a girl with light blue twin tails, wearing a loose Western dress that still couldn't hide the sutures on her face and body, the former Special Grade Cursed Spirit Mahito—even Liao Mao, with his thousands of years of self-control, felt a bit dazed.

"Ah~ It's Xia You, back."

As the object of his astonishment, the former Mahito, now Mahito, showed her usual smile, as if nothing shocking was happening: "This is the new companion's idea."

"New companion?"

Only then did Liao Mao have the chance to take in his surroundings.

Inside the domain, there was an unfamiliar gray-haired figure—a woman in a black-and-red jacket, with a skirt and hat of the same color. She was arguing with Jogo, who sat on a rock holding a guitar, and then raised her hand to slap him.

Liao Mao: ...

"I told you! Rock isn't something you can just play by knowing a few notes! That's not rock, it's just copying the form!"

The Herrscher of Reason looked at him with utter disappointment.

"We are noble cursed spirits! Why should we learn these things meant for human entertainment?"

Jogo's head kept sparking with flames as he vented his grievances loudly.

"Ridiculous! Who says only humans can understand music? Besides, if you're not going to learn human pleasures, why do you smoke? If you're not going to imitate humans, why wear clothes?"
