Chapter 26: 25. Private conversation.
Chapter 25
Itadori and I checked in pretty quickly, unlike regular dorms we didn't have to fill out any paperwork or anything like that, and the rooms themselves already had their beds made. And the rooms, to be honest, were more like fairly spacious one-room apartments with a bathroom, closet, bed and desk, except that the kitchen wasn't in the room, but in the hallway there was one shared kitchen.
The rooms Itadori and I were put in were next to Megumi's room, which, judging by our brief meeting, he wasn't particularly happy about, and in a way I understand him, he's clearly not a very sociable guy and likes silence, and Yuji, although a good guy, is too noisy. As a result of this meeting, Gojo told us that tomorrow we would go with the whole group to pick up another student, and he decided that now was the time for the promised private conversation. So we ended up in our current situation. I was sitting on the bed, and in front of me on the chair with his hands folded on the back of the chair sat Satoru Gojo.
- So, what did you want to tell me so much? I warn you, I am a guy, of course, irresistible and capable of appreciating female beauty at its true worth, but still not a pedophile.
- Very funny. - I rolled my eyes at his words and decided to start telling. - Tell Gojo-sensei, what would you do if you got a manga that you liked, but incredibly cruel and dangerous, with the opportunity to get abilities like the character you liked.
- Hmmm, I would probably participate in the most interesting events and undoubtedly become the strongest. Okay, I understand what you mean. Tell me, I was the main character of this manga, right? - Satoru asked, leaning closer to me.
- Well, even though the whole story essentially revolves around you, but Itadori seems to be the main character, although like some kind of parasitic brain, he overcomes to seal you and turn his plans into reality, sometimes it seemed that he was the main character, but in the last chapters I saw, Yuta Okkotsu killed him, which I am again not sure about since I did not see the ending.
- I see. And after losing to Sukkune, I suppose I died?
- Yes. I think it would be better if I retell you everything I remember from Itadori Yuji's entry into the magic college...
Satoru listened very attentively to my story, and at some points he periodically asked leading questions and, based on the answers to them, confirmed something for himself.
- So at the moment the cornerstones of the upcoming events are a certain curse of a special level of Mahito, which is capable of both killing and creating various garbled things from people by influencing the soul with one touch, then there is an exchange festival between schools, during which our enemies will have to steal Sukuna's fingers that the academy has. And finally the key point. The moment when they will try to seal me and at the same time, in fact, all the enemies will be in one place at the same time and the most difficult thing in this situation will be to save the lives of the people who will be used, so as not to allow me to use the expansion of the territory. And yes, of course, we need to try as much as possible not to allow Sukuna to get into Megumi's body. Even if you can destroy his fingers, it is far from easy for him to have the title of the king of curses and be able to find a way to restore his power. - Satoru summed up out loud.
- Well, yes. These are the most important points.
- Well, you gave me a problem, however, who could have thought that our little Maki would cut out her entire clan. - the magician grinned.
- Well, to be honest, I didn't feel sorry for the Zenin clan, they got what they were stubbornly trying to achieve, and they were actually lucky that Megumi's father didn't kill them, but simply left the clan.
- Yes, this clan is really screwed, but Fischl, you say this because you only know them from manga, but will you really think so if you meet the best part of them in person.
- It's simple, I just don't need to meet them. Hypocritical? So what, if I try to save absolutely everyone, I'll simply go crazy.
- A good point, I approve. - the magician stood up from his chair, clearly intending to end the conversation.
- You should get strong as soon as possible. The Council of Elders will try to get rid of you before you have time to get stronger.
- Knowing what will happen in the future, you still don't have the desire to get rid of them early? - I asked in surprise, after all, in the manga, when he was freed, the council of elders was cut out very quickly, after all, Kenjaku has influence on them.
- Well, my desire to get rid of them has definitely become stronger, but I can't do it now. They won't understand me.
- I see. And when will you be able to help me master infinity? I also want to copy Megumi's technique. - I hurried to ask, seeing that the magician was already about to leave.
- Soon I will show you how I use the techniques and explain how they work, and then everything will depend on you. Oh yeah, don't try to learn other complex cursed techniques like Megumi's, your brain won't cope with it.
- What do you mean? - I didn't understand.
- At that moment, when you used infinity, you felt that you intuitively knew the basic capabilities of the technique, didn't you?
- Mmm... - I thought for a moment and it turns out that I really do know how to use neutral infinity and achieve infinite energy and answered in surprise. - That's true.
- So, we shamans have a special brain structure and our techniques are contained in a certain part of the brain, so when using territory expansion and cursed techniques, so-called overheating occurs and until a certain period of time passes, without dying from brain damage, you will not be able to use the technique again. Now let's go back to infinity. Only owners of six eyes can use it fully and this is due to an improved brain. You are very likely to simply not be able to use infinity and other techniques at the moment, you will have to choose one thing. Although if you are ready to risk giving up untouchability in battle for the sake of summoning shikigami, then go ahead. - Satoru literally explained to me the reason why I won't be able to become an imba (even more than Satoru Gojou) at the moment.
- I see. - I answered slightly upset, although I will still copy some interesting techniques just in case.
- Don't be upset, as soon as you master the cursed blue technique, you will already have enough striking power to snap most special-level curses like seeds. Well, I've been sitting here for too long, settle in here, and I still need to chat with Itadori and I think I'll give Megumi a little kick in the ass to develop. - the teacher encouraged me before cheerfully saying goodbye.
- Goodbye, teacher. - I said goodbye and, calling Oz for company, began to arrange the room to my taste using things that I took from home, I bet that Megumi and Itadori don't have a TV in their room.
- Damn! I forgot to ask for the Wi-Fi password! – I suddenly remembered and immediately ran out the door.
