"..."

Damn System!

Natsu Hiraku was speechless. This damn System really wanted him dead. Although his heart ached, at least this mission was completed. He'd worry about the next one when it came. Right now, the urgent matter was how to converse with the person in front of him.

After all, he was a Special Grade. If he messed up, he'd probably cease to exist, leaving nothing but ashes. For now, he could only pretend not to know him to ease the awkwardness and seek a sliver of hope for survival.

Moreover, he didn't understand the plot very well himself. He was merely drawn to the characters in this manga.

He'd first learned about these characters after watching a cosplay video of Gojo Satoru. His silver-white hair and unrestrained smile were truly eye-catching, especially the part where he danced on the pole.

Then, the comments in the bullet screen all replied, Others cosplay the appearance, but you, you're just copy-pasting!

This was why, as soon as he transmigrated, he recognized Gojo Satoru at a glance. The impression was too deep.

Then, he started thinking about how he could latch onto a powerful figure and survive a few more years.

However, after getting the System, he spent more time figuring out how to "out-compete" them more efficiently.

He said, "Mr. Geto, are you very familiar with Teacher Gojo? Are you also a teacher at Jujutsu High?"

"Of course, we're familiar. It's just that I'm not a teacher."

As Suguru Geto spoke, he put his right arm around Natsu Hiraku's shoulder and pointed to the sky with his left hand. He continued, "With your talent, I believe you'll reach Grade 1 Sorcerer status very soon. When that happens, you'll discover that non-sorcerers are just a bunch of damn monkeys. They'll be jealous of your power and ostracize you."

"..."

If Gojo Satoru knew I dared to think this, he'd break my legs the next day.

Natsu Hiraku gritted his teeth and continued to answer, "What is Mr. Geto saying?"

"Do you want to create a world without non-sorcerers with me?"

"Then... the process is...?"

"Of course, it's to kill all the non-sorcerers. After all, that's the fastest and simplest method."

This conversation is over...

Why does it feel like the more secrets I know, the lower my chances of leaving alive become?

Although he didn't know what other transmigrators would think, he still had to try to struggle. Maybe it would work?!

"Um..., isn't this plan a little bit crazy? I don't think ordinary people are as unbearable as you say, Mr. Geto. But if that day really comes..., I'll contact you then. How about we exchange phone numbers? My friends are waiting for me."

"Pfft! Hahaha."

Suguru Geto's laughter made Natsu Hiraku panic a little. After all, how could such an excuse work...

"Of course, you can. This is truly interesting. Let's exchange numbers, and after that, you should hurry back to your companions. Don't keep them waiting too long."

As Suguru Geto spoke, he gently ruffled Natsu Hiraku's black, messy hair. He took out his phone from his pocket with his left hand and asked, "My number is..., tell me yours."

Natsu Hiraku quickly took out his phone from his pocket, saved the number, and after making a note, said his own number: "Mine is..."

After recording each other's numbers, Suguru Geto patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, say hello to Gojo Satoru for me. If you have any troubles, I'd be happy if you came to chat with me."

"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Geto."

Natsu Hiraku finished speaking and jogged away, his resolve to become stronger even more firm. He was terrified just talking to a strong person, afraid he'd say the wrong word and be instantly killed.

Although Gojo Satoru usually protected him, he couldn't be there all the time!

And this stupid dog System was finding new ways to mess with him. Last time, when he soloed a Quasi Grade 1 Cursed Spirit, it was fortunate that the Cursed Spirit only had powerful Cursed Energy and no combat skills.

If it were like the one he encountered this time, he might have abandoned the mission and let Gojo Satoru erase it.

Gotta go, gotta go. Double the training volume tomorrow.

He arrived next to Asura, who was waiting in the shopping street, and patted his head, saying, "Tomorrow, we'll double the training volume together."

"Woof~?"

Asura looked confused. Does Master have a big problem? The training is already tough enough, and now it's going to double!!

Just as Asura was about to say something else, Natsu Hiraku pinched his mouth shut and said, "Alright, stop complaining. It's decided. Let's go back."

"..."

He really treats this dog like a person...

Asura was speechless but already used to it. After all, his master was like this, occasionally having some crazy idea and making him cooperate to test some so-called theoretical data.

The day after the tests, the entire training plan was changed.

"You're taking your time. We've been waiting in the car for ages."

Yuta Okkotsu rolled down the window and shouted at Natsu Hiraku, who was walking over.

"Salmon!"

Toge Inumaki, sitting in the passenger seat, agreed.

"Sorry, sorry, my stomach really hurts. Let's go back."

Back inside Jujutsu High.

Natsu Hiraku briefly explained the situation to Gojo Satoru and then, dragging his exhausted body, decided to go back for a nap. Although he hadn't exerted himself much fighting the cursed spirit, the pressure from talking with Suguru Geto was immense.

Training could wait until tomorrow. Anyway, today was about rewarding himself for surviving and also about creating a new training plan for Asura.

After all, his combat power was formidable, but he was just too reckless. Even though the original training method was all about recklessness, since he was meant to be the tank.

But that idea changed today.

He realized how annoying it would be if Asura was both a troublemaker and incredibly strong. By the time the enemy realized they were outsmarted by a dog, he would have already won.

"Let's buy a copy of The Art of War online. If he masters that book, his future will be limitless!"

Asura, standing nearby, felt an inexplicable chill. For some reason, he felt like his future self would rather be dead than alive.

"Woof woof~ (Master, what are you planning?)"

"Nothing much. I think as a new dog father, I should teach you to read so you can strive in society later."

"What's reading? Is it edible?"

"Uh..."

Natsu Hiraku pondered for a moment, then patted Asura's head and continued, "Of course it's edible, spiritual food. I believe you'll really like it, Asura."

Hearing it was food, Asura felt much more at ease. After all, how could eating lead to a fate worse than death!

It seemed like the training had been a bit too much lately, too much pressure.

This damn System was something else.

Natsu Hiraku returned home, took a shower, and then lay on his bed, staring at the white ceiling. He just kept staring. Although he wanted to rest, he couldn't sleep. The feeling of exhaustion had dissipated with the cold water.

It seemed he didn't want to rest right now, but he couldn't think of anything fun to do. Asura, on the other hand, was lying comfortably on the bed and had already fallen asleep.

The house had been cleaned this morning, no need to tidy up. Although it felt like they were about to have an exchange event with Kyoto Jujutsu High, Teacher Gojo hadn't announced the exact date yet; it seemed to still be in the works.

And for the first-years, as far as he knew, there were only him and Yuta Okkotsu. He wasn't sure how many students there were in the other years.

He had heard from Megumi Fushiguro yesterday that he had met two senior students at the school.

If he guessed correctly, there would be two senior students as well. Including those two, that would be four people. After all, apart from the first-years, the senior students were already very strong. Not many of them would stay at Jujutsu High specifically; they had all been assigned elsewhere.

Only fledglings like them, whose wings hadn't yet unfurled, would stay at school to receive education.

He thought meeting those two seniors would be very interesting! Forget it, sleeping at noon was a complete waste of time, especially since he wasn't sleepy right now. He'd go meet those two seniors!

He was actually looking forward to it!

Natsu Hiraku patted Asura, who had fallen asleep, and said, "Stop sleeping. Come with me for a couple of rounds, let's find those two people, and then go prepare ingredients for tonight's extra meal. Today is our first collaborative battle. Although our coordination was terrible... we still need to commemorate it."

"Roar~!"

Asura had woken up somewhat reluctantly, but as soon as he heard there would be good food, he immediately perked up. He bounced a few times on the bed and shouted, "Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof! (Hurry, hurry, I want to eat delicious food!)"

After shouting, he ran towards the door. Just as he was about to open it with his right paw, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head, and a slap came at him fiercely.

"Slap!"

Natsu Hiraku, seeing Asura about to open the door, was greatly alarmed and quickly stopped him, scolding, "I'm not even dressed yet, you unfilial son! Do you think everyone is like you? Walking around town naked?"

He was completely naked at the moment, not even wearing underwear. If someone happened to be outside, and it was Maki, of all people!

Heh... just destroy me, I'm tired.

Asura drooped his ears, looking wronged, "Wuwu~ (Is it wrong for me to want to eat?)"

"No, it's not wrong once I'm dressed. Until then, even opening the door is wrong."

After lecturing, Natsu Hiraku took out clean clothes from his bag. Honestly, raising a dog wasn't easy. Although it added some fun to his daily life, when he first got this guy, he used to relieve himself anywhere indoors.

It took him two days of hand-holding to teach the guy how to use the toilet. Honestly, the first time he saw a dog squatting on the toilet, it felt quite strange, but then he remembered he was the one who taught it, and a sense of accomplishment filled him.

After all, how impressive would it be to say you have a dog that flushes the toilet!

Uh...

Natsu Hiraku realized something was wrong. Isn't it more bizarre that a dog can use a toilet...

Would people think it's weird if he told them?

After simply putting on his clothes, he walked to the door and patted Asura's head, saying, "Alright, don't be sad. How about we cancel tonight's training?"

Upon hearing that training was canceled, the negative emotions in Asura's mind instantly vanished. After all, that training volume was really not something a three-month-old puppy could endure.

Who could understand training from half an hour after dinner until midnight without Cursed Energy enhancement?

Who could understand the pain of being hit on the head by a tree branch because it was too dark?

He even suspected sometimes that his master wasn't human, training precisely from 5:30 AM to sleep at 12:30 AM, only five hours of sleep a day.

He was fine, sleeping until past seven. Unless there were special circumstances. If he woke up as early as his master...

He figured the grass would be growing on his grave by now.

"Click--"

The door opened, and Natsu Hiraku and Asura walked out of the house. After only a couple of steps, they ran into Yuta Okkotsu, who was running towards them. Seeing them, Yuta's face lit up with joy, as if something had happened. He asked:

"What's up?"

"Hiraku-kun, that's great, I thought you were napping."

Natsu Hiraku asked with some confusion, "I was planning to take a nap, but I couldn't fall asleep. Is something going on?"

"Teacher Gojo wants us both to go over. It seems he wants to talk about the Kyoto Jujutsu High exchange event, and there are also two upperclassmen we don't know."

"Huh? Really!"

Natsu Hiraku was surprised to hear that he didn't have to go look for the upperclassmen himself. Although he had considered that the return of the upperclassmen would mean participating in the exchange event with Kyoto, he hadn't expected it to be so soon.

They just came back yesterday and we're leaving today?

No, no, no, maybe he just wants me to go over and get acquainted, after all, that would make it easier to cooperate.

"Of course, let's go quickly. Teacher Gojo and the others are waiting in the classroom."

"Okay."

The two, along with a dog, arrived at the classroom door.

Gojo Satoru was currently standing on the podium. He waved at the two who had arrived and said, "Good afternoon. I thought you'd be napping, Hiraku-kun, and would come much later. I didn't expect you so soon. Let me introduce you to two second-year upperclassmen!"

"Good afternoon, Teacher Gojo." ×2

As soon as Natsu Hiraku walked in, he saw the two upperclassmen sitting in their seats.
