Chapter 29: Goodwill
[Author Note]
Disc: HrPrTeam
Question for you guys.
Who is your least favorite character, and why?
It's a pretty random but interesting topic.
...
Gojo isn't a romance option.
Stop being weird.

Naohiro
Color me surprised when I learned that Ijichi is two years younger than me.
With how he was portrayed, you would think he would be in his forties when canon started.
No wonder he didn't show up when I went on my first mission.
He was ten...
It was a pretty random encounter. I was originally wondering where he was since the only teacher I've recognized is Yaga.
The teacher we currently have is a random grade two, so Geto, Gojo, and I can all effortlessly beat him.
Geto, while not his sixteen-year-old self, was still a grade one at this time. His main go-to curse is the Rainbow Dragon, which he ended up taming before coming to Jujutsu High.
Growing up in the Zenin clan, I already knew a lot of what they started to teach us. I thought Gojo was the same since he would ignore most of the lesson to think to himself.
We might learn useful things when we reach the second or third years. However, so far, nothing.
At the end of today's lesson, he mentioned something that caught my ear: the 17th annual Kyoto Goodwill event. I couldn't help but smile massively when I learned that we would be going against Kyoto's 1-3rd years.
I was excited for it. Really, really excited.
I could solo the entire event, let alone Geto, Gojo, and Shoko, who now has a reverse cursed technique. Calling it unfair would be a massive understatement. Kyoto doesn't stand a chance.
It's got coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb energy.
While I would like to pull out my domain to show off, it's a stupid move, considering certain people could be watching, and keeping that card close is a good strategy.
...
Well, Kenjaku and Uraume already know, so who cares if some random people know it?
I toss away that thought since I'm not going to risk anything. That would be stupid.
I'll also need to be careful since Kenjaku might make a move.
Today's Goodwill event has two days of competition. The first one is a team battle that was shown in the 2018 Goodwill event, and the second day has individual one-on-one fights rather than a normal team event.
Usually, only second and third years get to participate, but first years are permitted to enter with the teacher's permission.
Of course, we were immediately allowed to enter since we were the strongest core of students at Jujutsu High.
The old-school Goodwill event was never shown in the manga, so I was eager to see what it looked like compared to the one I know.
After the lesson ended, the teacher left the classroom, and I started speaking. "Are you guys ready to steamroll this thing?"
Shoko was rolling her eyes, Geto was surprisingly smiling, and Gojo...
He was asleep.
Usually, he would be listening, but I guess learning about fighting some more nobodies put him to sleep.
It makes sense; the only person who even gave him a challenge is on his team.
He needs to be humbled.
While I had changed his personality due to me winning our first fight, he is still cocky, arrogant, and thinks he's nigh-invincible.
With how he is now, he can't beat the current top dogs.
Maybe something unexpected will happen at the Goodwill event, but I doubt that the other school has anything that will challenge our team.
Shoko isn't a fighter, so she'll stay back, but the three strongest students of this generation will massacre the nobodies.
Anyway, I'd better prepare, since next week, we'll be going against our sister school.
Uraume
How humiliating...
I have to play along with a bunch of children, and they won't even allow us to kill the other team members.
Why can't things be like the Heian era? Back then, nobody blinked an eye if someone died.
While I think the plan Kenjaku created was...creative, involving me in this stupid game is frustrating.
I smile.
However, it gives me the chance to finally meet the worm that ate Master Sukuna's finger.
Since the Zenin brat already fought Kenjaku, he proposed that I participate in this children's game by enrolling in the...what school was it?
Whatever. I'm a first-year student, so I had to show off some skills to be allowed to participate, but it was hard when a weakling judged me.
After this whole fiasco ends, I'm going to kill them all. Nobody except him can see me in a vulnerable state.
I haven't shown myself to the Zenin brat, so he doesn't know about my existence. If one were to look at me, one would see a teenage girl with a powerful ice-cursed technique.
*Sigh* I'll have to bear with it for the time being since this is the first step to taking everything away from him.
Hmm, maybe I can deal with the Gojo brat at the same time. I'm not foolish enough to dismiss him as weak since he is one of the few who can grow to the peak of Jujutsu sorcery.
However, only one person will ever be above the peak of Jujutsu sorcery. When he comes back, I'll finally stop pretending like a fool. The end result will be more than worth going through this trouble.
I won't just kill Naohiro Zenin; I'll break him.
Toji Fushiguro
The annual Goodwill event, huh?
I smirk.
I was originally wondering how I would get the two teens to drop their guard, and here comes the perfect event on a silver platter.
Shiu Kong won't shut up about it because of the ridiculous amount they're paying, but he isn't the one who will assassinate two Jujutsu sorcerers. I've learned that looking for quick money is an idiotic strategy.
(A/N - "*teenagers.")
My thoughts get broken when I see number three lose...again.
Shit, that was the last of the money that I earned at my previous job.
After losing again, I stand up and stretch my arms.
I've got a week to prepare, so I'll get ready to earn my biggest paycheck ever.
I exit the building with a smile.
