JJK X Fate: The Heroic Sorcerer Chapter 80: The Only Thing That the Singer Can Do to Defeat

After class, the group quickly t Utahi and i i, who had just returned.

"Hello everyone, I'm Iori Utahi, a second-year. Please take care of from now on."

"I'm i i. Please take care of ."

Utahi, wearing a miko outfit and showing a gentle smile, tried to present herself as a reliable senior. Thinking about her kohais calling her "senpai" and relying on her made her smile even brighter.

However, life always delivers a critical blow from unexpected places.

Satoru, already over 1.8 ters tall and not yet at his peak height of over 1.9 ters, stood before Utahi.

His tall fra completely dwarfed her.

He hooked a finger to his sunglasses, revealing the Six Eyes.

"Th-that, you're Gojo-kun, right? Is there sothing you need?"

Don't panic, don't panic. It must just be a little joke from a cute kohai.

"You…"

Satoru's voice ca from directly above Utahi.

"What is it, Gojo-kun?"

"So weak."

Crack.

Utahi seed to hear sothing break.

"Satoru, don't bully senpai."

"But she really is weak."

Satoru turned his gaze to i i.

"This senpai, on the other hand, looks really strong."

He looked intrigued.

Crack.

Utahi heard sothing shatter again.

"Oh my, thank you for the complint, Gojo-kun."

i i replied with a smile.

Indeed, only a beautiful woman's squinting smile can look charming.

Suguru's squinting smile always ca off a little too... suggestive.

"I'm Geto Suguru. Please take care of , senpai."

"Ah, yes, please take care of too."

Utahi glanced at Suguru, whose smile felt strangely pleasant, and finally felt a little comforted.

Soone who smiles that gently couldn't be doing it on purpose… right?

But Utahi was still too naive. She would soon witness just how naturally annoying Suguru could be.

Amid laughter and introductions (Utahi: What about ?), the group completed their greetings.

Grumble.

"Eichi, it's dinner ti."

Artoria patted her flat stomach.

"It really is."

Eichi glanced at his phone. It was already past five.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

"I don't know. Emiya is on a mission. He's not at school today."

"I see. Then let's go out to eat. What do you all want?"

Satoru made a suggestion.

"How about hot pot? Let's invite dea too."

"Sushi?"

"Sukiyaki."

"Barbecue."

…Eventually, they settled on a barbecue restaurant.

Pshh—

The sound of a can being opened.

Shoko opened a can of beer.

"If Yaga-sensei finds out, we'll get a lecture."

Eichi, who was devouring food with Artoria in elegant yet terrifying synchronicity, reminded her.

"It's fine. By the ti we get back, Yaga-sensei will already be asleep. Don't let his looks fool you. He's really into health and wellness."

Gulp, gulp.

Having Reverse Cursed Technique is great. She could indulge in both smoking and drinking without worry.

"Utahi-senpai, do you want so too?"

Seeing Utahi's surprised expression, Shoko offered.

"Mm, thank you."

Utahi subconsciously accepted the bottle.

She had co to understand sothing. These first-year juniors each had extraordinary abilities.

Thinking of this, she gloomily raised her glass.

The atmosphere quickly turned lively.

"Satoru, that dumpling is mine. Mine!"

Suguru looked speechlessly at Satoru, who had snatched the dumpling when he wasn't paying attention.

"Don't be stingy. Here, take this vegetable. Ah, don't steal from my bowl!"

The two engaged in a fierce chopstick battle.

The atmosphere between the two girls sitting nearby was much more peaceful.

"So, dea-san will be coming to the school as a teacher next year, right?"

i i kept her elegant, captivating smile.

"That's right."

dea, dressed in a tailored suit, returned the smile.

"Really? What a sha. We already have teachers in our year, so we won't be able to attend your classes."

i i showed a regretful expression.

"Oh, no. If you have any questions, you're always welco to co find , i i."

"Really? Thank you so much, dea-sensei."

i i placed her hands together in thanks.

"No need to be so formal. Speaking of which, I saw a lot of crows on the road earlier. Are those your shikigami, i i?"

dea's gaze drifted toward the window, where several crows perched on a nearby utility pole.

"How impressive. You noticed that so quickly?"

i i's eyes opened slightly, her squint no longer part of her usual polite smile. She was genuinely surprised.

"I just happen to know a thing or two about shikigami."

dea smiled and nodded, satisfied with i i's reaction.

"But my Technique, Black Bird Manipulation, isn't particularly helpful in direct combat. It's mainly useful for searching and disruption."

i i looked slightly troubled.

Before developing Kamikaze, a move that sacrifices crows for a powerful single-use attack, she had relied mostly on Body Refining and cursed tools in battle.

Her crows were support units.

"Have you ever thought about training your own shikigami?"

"Which type of crow consus the least cursed energy? Which type can carry the most cursed energy…"

dea's questions made i i pause in thought.

i i was the type to constantly seek improvent.

If her technique wasn't helpful, she'd train her physical strength.

If her physical strength hit a bottleneck, she'd return to refining her technique.

If that wasn't enough, she'd seek other thods.

So from this mont on, i i began to value dea, soone who could potentially help her grow stronger.

anwhile, at the far end of the table, two people had ford the "complaints" group.

Bang!

"So what were they thinking, trying to rush into marriage like that?!"

Utahi slamd her wine glass on the table, face full of indignation.

"They even said, 'With your excellent talent, you should have several children with those equally talented young masters to pass on their techniques.' Why don't those guys go do it themselves?"

I an, they probably want to, but those young masters don't want them.

"Alright, alright, calm down."

Shoko gently patted Utahi's back, picking up a tissue to wipe her mouth.

"You're the only one who's good to , Shoko."

Utahi threw her arms around Shoko, burying her face in her shoulder.

"Mm-hmm, don't cry."

Utahi-senpai's alcohol tolerance is average.

The heavy drinker Shoko comnted internally.

"Ah, already drunk? That's so la."

"You shut up, you scumbag Gojo!"

"This, is it good?"

Ignoring the raging Utahi, Satoru turned his attention to the beer.

"Wanna try?"

Shoko handed him a chilled bottle.

"Ah, thanks."

Pshh.

Satoru pulled the tab and imitated Shoko, chugging a whole bottle in one go.

Burp~

After just one can, his face started to flush.

"Could it be…"

Eichi suddenly rembered sothing.

Satoru had terrible alcohol tolerance.

Sure enough, shortly after finishing the can, Satoru collapsed into Suguru's arms.

Suguru: Should I take this chance to ss with him...? A hundred prank ideas flashed through his mind.

"Phew, at least he just has poor alcohol tolerance. He doesn't go wild when drunk."

So, alcohol was Satoru's weakness.

"Hahaha, scumbag Gojo is so la."

However… looking at Satoru now, passed out in Suguru's arms, then at Utahi, who was still muttering "serves him right"...

Eichi thought Utahi had found her counterasure.

Every ti Satoru pissed her off, she could challenge him.

As long as he didn't cheat or back out, Utahi could beat him in drinking for the rest of her life.
