An hour later, Sherlock knelt obediently on the sports field, sporting a pair of black eyes and a head covered in Buddha-like bumps, tears of grievance still brimming in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Masamichi Yaga was bowing and scraping as he apologized to the film producers, trying to explain this damned misunderstanding and working hard to clean up the mess his student and grandstudent had made.
The two teachers looked deeply disappointed. After learning the whole story, they went over to Sherlock, caught between laughter and tears, and took a photo with him as a way of comforting the audacious little fellow.
As for Satoru Gojo?
Once this sheltered Six Eyes understood the situation, his face turned as red as a monkey's ass. He gave Sherlock a vicious beating, then promptly fled.
In his own words, he had something to take care of back at the Gojo Clan!
Clearly, something this maddening could never have happened without someone from the Gojo Clan being involved.
To think that he, the pure and upright divine child of the Six Eyes, had nearly been tricked into making his debut by someone from the Gojo Clan! Satoru Gojo could barely contain his anger. Even after beating up that lecherous little brat who still refused to give up, he remained furious.
As for the film producers? What could they do? Clearly, that divinely handsome white-haired man was not someone they could afford to provoke. Even if they set their sights on the brat who had started it all, his age ruled him out.
They could only swallow their grievances and leave with their people once again amid Masamichi Yaga's repeated apologies.
Not only had poor Sherlock's dream been shattered yet again, but when he tried to find Shoko to treat the headful of injuries Satoru Gojo had given him, Masamichi Yaga returned and caught him before he could even leave the sports field.
The unfortunate Sherlock was hauled into the office yet again for a scolding.
To be fair, across both of Sherlock's lives, this was his first time being reprimanded by a teacher who held the position of principal.
As for that big smart guy from the Gojo Clan? Well, a red-faced Satoru Gojo gave him a thorough beating with his fists. Strangely, though, no one knew what happened afterward, but after that beating, this big smart guy became the very first person in the entire Gojo Clan to support Satoru Gojo.
Satoru Gojo's expression was exceedingly strange about this, too, as though he had somehow eaten a booger, leaving his head buzzing.
Although the beginning had been a mistake, and the process had been a mistake too, at least the result was fairly good. He just did not know why it felt so strange.
If things had ended there, it would not have been such a big deal. The problem was that Shoko had taken a photo of that dramatic scene.
That very evening, the photo appeared on the Jujutsu Sorcerers' forum, with a headline written in a distinctly UC Club style.
"Shocking! The strongest of our time, Six Eyes bearer and divinely handsome Satoru Gojo, makes his spectacular debut!"
In less than half an hour, the post, complete with photographic evidence, shot straight onto the trending list. Some of Jujutsu Society's horny old perverts even dug up information on the two teachers from nothing more than their blurry figures in the photo.
Once the information on the two teachers appeared in the thread, the post's popularity went through the roof.
With Satoru Gojo's looks, making a debut would have been nothing unusual. What no one had expected was that he would make this kind of debut!
Calls soon followed from Satoru Gojo's former classmates and people connected to the Gojo Clan, all asking what had happened.
Those without Satoru Gojo's contact information tried every possible means to contact the Gojo Clan to confirm the situation. Even the higher-ups summoned Satoru Gojo to question him.
By the time Satoru Gojo realized something was wrong, it was already too late. Fortunately, the photo's angle made it easy for him to identify who had taken it.
"Shoko!!!!!!"
A roar unlike any Satoru Gojo had ever let out since birth erupted from the Gojo Clan Compound.
Meanwhile, Master Xia, the Special Grade Curse User who had only recently taken over the Time Vessel Association and had to both raise children and worry about expanding the association, finally had time to relax after a busy day.
After taking a shower, Master Xia brewed himself a cup of hot tea and sat quietly on the sofa, ready to browse whatever nonsense had cropped up in Jujutsu Society that day. The moment he opened the forum, he saw his best friend splashed across the front page.
"Pfft!"
Too astonished to hold it in, Master Xia sprayed out his entire mouthful of hot tea. He promptly opened the thread and began carefully studying it, comment by comment.
When Your Boy Master Xia saw that someone had worked out the two teachers' identities and specified exactly what kind of "debut" this was, Your Boy Master Xia lost it yet again.
"Pfft!"
After hurriedly cleaning up the mess he had sprayed all over the coffee table, Suguru Geto sat on the sofa in his Gojo Kasaya and began questioning his life.
Heaven knew what Your Boy Master Xia was thinking. His expression grew increasingly strange, until he finally just looked through the window into the darkness outside.
"Satoru, have you really gotten this lonely?"
After saying that, Suguru Geto was the first to break into laughter. As Satoru Gojo's best friend, he knew that Dickhead Cat's personality all too well.
Despite acting more frivolous than anyone, he was also more conservative than anyone.
So this definitely could not have been that Dickhead Cat's own idea. There had to be some enormous joke behind this that he knew nothing about!
The fact that Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo could get along so well in their shared bad taste proved that this narrow-eyed fellow with the strange bangs was certainly no saint either. The instant he realized there was a huge laugh to be had behind this incident, the newly appointed leader of the Time Vessel Association decisively contacted his senior sister.
Mei Mei.
He also spent a little money to buy a detailed account of the entire incident from Mei Mei, along with all the currently public information on Sherlock.
After reading the full account, Suguru Geto actually laughed on the sofa-and it was an extremely happy, hearty laugh at that. This was the first time he had laughed so happily since defecting.
After all, when Suguru Geto first heard that Satoru Gojo had stayed at the school to become a teacher, he had felt that the idea was rather dubious.
Never in his wildest dreams had he expected his best friend's very first disciple to become his best friend's nemesis.
This was the first time Satoru Gojo's "reputation" had suffered such a "devastating" blow!
As his best friend, Suguru Geto decisively resolved to make things even worse for him. He was just thinking of spreading a few rumors on the forum and adding fuel to the trending topic when he discovered that the wildly popular post had been deleted at some point.
Somewhat bored, Suguru Geto put down his phone and leaned back on the sofa, gazing at the ceiling. Only after a long while did a smile curl his lips.
"Sherlock, was it? I'm rather looking forward to meeting you. Satoru's first student-you must be a very interesting person too, right?"
