The Clichés of Hot-Blooded Shonen Manga

It was a warning from the Diary.

Because the deduction of Reading Points also served as a chance to calm her mind, Yotsuya Miko took this warning very seriously.

Ignoring the current situation, Yotsuya Miko subconsciously took out her Diary and checked the warning on it.

Seeing Yotsuya Miko suddenly take out her Diary in front of everyone while struggling with her decision, Shinomiya Kaguya's heart couldn't help but jump.

Why did Miko suddenly take out her Diary?

And will the sorcerer known as the strongest Sorcerers beside her and the Jujutsu High be able to see their Diary?

Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kaguya became a little nervous.

To her surprise, after Yotsuya Miko quickly glanced at the reminder in the Diary, her expression suddenly turned serious.

In her line of sight, Yotsuya Miko put down her Diary and spoke to Masamichi Yaga with utmost seriousness.

"Although I may not be used to those Vengeful Spirit yet, I will try my best to adapt. So I still want to join the Jujutsu High to figure out what's wrong with my eyes."

And that warning in the Diary...

How exactly did my father die?

Am I now being targeted by that even more mysterious entity?

If she were to give up her sight, she would likely never be able to uncover the truth of the matter.

Looking at the girl in front of him who had seemed hesitant before, he suddenly became determined as if he had thought of something. Masamichi Yaga raised an eyebrow slightly.

Just now, he seemed to have sensed a faint surge of power emanating from the other party.

If he hadn't set up numerous barriers around the house, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense such a faint fluctuation of power.

He looked at Satoru Gojo beside him.

The other party must have also sensed that mysterious power, but at this moment they could only shake their head slightly, indicating that they also didn't understand the situation of that power.

Was it the other person's special eyes that made her see something just now, which strengthened the other person's resolve?

Could those eyes possess a power similar to "futurism"?

The arrival of such an unknown force in this rapidly changing era leaves us wondering whether it is good or bad.

Masamichi Yaga was pondering this.

But since the girl has already shown her resolve, and her eyes also possess great potential, he has no reason to refuse her.

As for what the other party saw that led to the change, Masamichi Yaga did not intend to ask.

His educational philosophy has always been to let students think for themselves and choose their own future paths, only imposing restrictions when the students go too far.

So, he closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and then nodded to the two girls.

"I hope you will always remember how you felt when you made this choice."

"Well then... welcome to the Jujutsu High."

After saying that, he turned to Satoru Gojo.

"Wu, take them to choose their dorm rooms. With them joining, the first year you're in charge of will be a little more lively."

Upon receiving Masamichi Yaga's affirmation, both Yotsuya Miko and Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but show expressions of relief.

Yotsuya Miko was happy because she had successfully enrolled in the Jujutsu High.

Shinomiya Kaguya relaxed after confirming that neither of the two powerful Sorcerers should be able to see the Diary in their hands.

It seems that the Diary's ability to block messages is indeed superior.

The only being capable of creating this Diary could be a deity living in a higher dimension.

While pondering this in her heart, Shinomiya Kaguya still had to step forward and explain her situation.

After all, she hadn't finished fulfilling her request at the Shuchiin Academy.

"Hmm... you mean, it might take a while before I can officially come to the Jujutsu High?" Masamichi Yaga frowned slightly.

Shinomiya Kaguya's reason was that she wanted to use another half month to a month to let her put an end to her past high school life.

Before Masamichi Yaga could speak, Satoru Gojo solemnly agreed to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"It's alright. After all, this is the most precious time of your life—high school. There are only three of you students in the first year. If you're reluctant to leave your high school friends, you can take another month off!"

"Eh, there are only three students including us?" Yotsuya Miko a little surprised.

Does that mean there was only one student in the entire first grade before they enrolled?

She thought that since the Jujutsu High was a school, there would be at least dozens of students. How come there was only one first-year student a month after the start of the semester?

"Ahem," Masamichi Yaga coughed heavily, seemingly reluctant to bring up the topic.

Does he mean to imply that the pool of students for Sorcerers has been largely taken by the better-developed Shinto and those monks?

It would be troublesome if these two students, who had awakened unknown special powers, whom we had finally managed to recruit, changed their minds and wanted to switch sides to Shinto.

"Anyway, since Wu has no objection to the leave request, I agree. However, let's complete the enrollment procedures first, and also introduce them to the other students at the school."

Chapter 153: Stereotypes in Hot-Blooded Shonen Manga

"So, there are only four students currently enrolled at the Tokyo Sorcery High?"

During lunch break, the girls in the Chat Group were quite taken aback when they saw the information about the Jujutsu High that Shinomiya Kaguya shared with them in the group.

No wonder the Diary warned you if more than three girls wanted to go to the Jujutsu High.

If a few more people go, they'll become the majority of those at the Jujutsu High. It would be strange if the Jujutsu Society didn't investigate their situation.

Shinomiya Kaguya continued to add to the list.

"The student who became a top-level mage as soon as he enrolled last year is no longer at the school. It seems he has gone abroad to carry out other missions."

"Then there were originally two senior students in the third year of high school, but it seems that they had a conflict with the higher-ups of the magic school at the end of last year and have now been suspended from school. But even if you include everyone, the number of students in this school is less than double digits."

"And to be precise, among the four students currently enrolled, there is also a panda..." Shinomiya Kaguya posted several photos in the group chat, which were group photos of herself, Yotsuya Miko, and several teachers and students from the school.

The photo of him with the panda immediately sparked a lively discussion in the Chat Group.

Compared to Satoru Gojo, who is known as the "strongest," the panda is definitely more likely to attract the girls' attention.

After seeing the panda photo, even Yukinoshita felt a little envious of Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko.

After all, the nickname she used in the group, "Mr. Pan," was based on a panda mascot.

Her love for pandas is on par with that for cats, and perhaps because pandas are rarer, they hold a slightly higher place in her heart than cats.

However, given the embarrassing situation of the students at the Jujutsu High, she had no way to get close to this panda Sorcerers.

After a brief discussion in the group, Shinomiya Kaguya continued to ask questions to everyone in the group.

"Anyway, who among these people do you think looks more like a comic book protagonist?"

Shinomiya Kaguya analyzed the personalities of these people and hoped that the girls in the group who loved otaku culture could help identify the main character of the manga.

UMR: "Hmph, leave this Umaru me, Umaru. After all, I'm a loyal reader of shonen manga."

After some comparison and thought, Umaru decisively crossed out the message in the group.

UMR: "According to Umaru's judgment, there are basically no main characters in the photos that Kaguya posted."

She analyzed them one by one.

The two students who were suspended from school are senior high school students, which doesn't seem like the main characters, so they can be ruled out.

The young man who became a top-tier mage, Yuta Okkotsu, looks a lot like the protagonist.

But he's too talented.

In shonen manga, such geniuses are usually the ones the protagonist needs to catch up with. In addition, without any other explanation, and having been abroad for several months without returning to Japan, it wouldn't be surprising if this background character, who has been absent for a long time, suddenly appeared as the protagonist's enemy in the future.

The panda is a mascot, and the other two boys both seem to be the kind of cool characters who don't like to talk and like to act like experts. In a shonen manga, they would at most be the second male lead with a tragic backstory.

As for the remaining girl named Maki Zenin, her profile seems quite standard.

The lowest-ranking fourth-level Sorcerers comes from the Zen'in Family, one of the three great families in the Jujutsu Society. However, due to his scarce innate Cursed Energy, he was disliked by his family and came to the Jujutsu High to study alone.

Because of their scarce Cursed Energy, they cannot use spells, so they can only hone their physical skills and rely on magical tools to fight against the cursed spirits.

It looks like one of those classic tales where a seemingly useless protagonist makes a comeback.

UMR: "But Jujutsu Kaisen is a shonen manga, so I don't think they'd have a female protagonist. The protagonist of a shonen manga should be a hot-blooded male lead who is single-minded, uses the same set of skills from beginning to end, and keeps talking about 'friendship and bonds' all the time."

"Moreover, the male lead in this kind of story usually ends up choosing a girl who may not be in the main cast, or even have many scenes, but who definitely has a nice figure as his wife."

"If that's the case, then Maki Zenin is not only unlikely to be the main character, but she probably doesn't even have anything to do with being the female lead. At most, she'll just be a relatively important side story."

While there were some dissenting opinions in the group regarding Umaru's lofty pronouncements, these were indeed fairly standard stereotypes about shonen manga.

So, the real protagonist might not have enrolled yet, and she's arrived a step too early?

Shinomiya Kaguya made this judgment.

After all, this year Satoru Gojo is the homeroom teacher for the first-year students. If there were only one student in the first year, it would be a huge disrespect to the strongest Sorcerers.

Having spent the morning at the Jujutsu High, thanks to the excellent genes and education of the Shinomiya Family, Shinomiya Kaguya demonstrated her social Jujutsu High and quickly grasped the basics of the school.

There are indeed not many Jujutsu High, but schools are only one of their functions.

It also serves as a transit point for the Jujutsu Society to accept and issue missions. In addition to current students, the school actually has more adult Sorcerers who have already graduated.

They will remain at the school to receive the necessary resources by performing exorcisms and supporting other Sorcerers until they feel fully capable of handling things on their own. Only then will they leave the Jujutsu High to carry out missions in other parts of Japan.

In just one morning, Shinomiya Kaguya had already sensed the unique atmosphere of this place where only extraordinary people existed.

It has to be said that she really liked this feeling.

Because she was just too outstanding in the outside world, so outstanding that even if she only showed 60% of her strength, it was enough for others to regard her as a genius.

Even just showing a little more of one's talent could lead to being ostracized by others.

Here, she could feel that she was no longer special.

Or rather, she is now far behind, perhaps even unable to see the shadows of those true geniuses.

"That's what makes it even more challenging, isn't it?" Shinomiya Kaguya looked at the Sorcerers who came and went without giving her a second glance, but she wasn't discouraged at all. Instead, her eyes became even more determined.

After enjoying a fairly delicious meal at the Jujutsu High, which may have even contained a trace of Spiritual Power, Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko prepared to leave the Jujutsu High in the afternoon.

Yotsuya Miko is going back to confront her family and explain all the truths except for the Diary. A teacher from the Jujutsu High, who specializes in negotiating with ordinary people, will come to her house to assist with this process, but the appointment is for tomorrow.

Of course, Yotsuya Miko had already explained to the other party about her father and the powerful Vengeful Spirit around him. As long as it was confirmed that the Vengeful Spirit had no intention of harming others, even Jujutsu High would not actively exorcise it.

Shinomiya Kaguya only found out why Yotsuya Miko's eyes had suddenly become so determined after Yotsuya Miko secretly asked her about it.

It turned out that she had learned from her Diary that her father's death might have been caused by interference from another mysterious Vengeful Spirit, and that the mysterious Vengeful Spirit might still be watching her in the dark.

Even if Yotsuya Miko could obtain the so-called "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" and ignore the existence of ordinary Vengeful Spirit, she still couldn't deal with the mysterious Vengeful Spirit that had been eyeing their house for a long time.

Under such circumstances, only by joining the Jujutsu High and quickly acquiring the power to exorcise the enemy can Yotsuya Miko not worry about the safety of herself and her family.

As expected, Yotsuya Miko was the girl with the most pressure among all the Diary holders in her group.

Shinomiya Kaguya sighed inwardly.

However, for them now, these things are still too far away.

At most, they can only deal with some low-level cursed spirits. Even those level three cursed spirits could pose a fatal threat to them.

Shinomiya Kaguya's current priority is to return to the Shuchiin Academy and quickly bring an end to her "ordinary" life so that she can use the Reading Points she gains from completing the missions to accelerate her growth.

"Mitsuwa-senpai, do you want to come back with me?" Shinomiya Kaguya thought to herself, looking at Kasumi Miwa who was standing to the side with a satisfied expression.

This woman's thoughts are so easy to understand.

A girl who idolizes Satoru Gojo is this happy just to be able to take a picture with Satoru Gojo.

It's a pity that she's already a student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. If I could get her to transfer to Tokyo, I'd probably gain her complete trust in no time and make her abilities work for me.

At this point, Shinomiya Kaguya had essentially ruled out the other party from the list of second-batch Diary holders.

After all, the other party is not bad-looking and should have appeared in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga.

However, her skills are average, her fangirl persona is unremarkable, and her personality is too ordinary.

She's not in the same school as the protagonist, so unless she can build a bond with the protagonist later and become the female lead, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who could get the Diary.
