Facing the classic multiple-choice question, Hikaru didn't hesitate much, "Let's hear the good news first."
"The good news is that the rotten oranges from above won't be bothering you for now. You can focus on studying for a while."
This good news was expected. After learning that Gojo Satoru was truly the strongest in the Jujutsu world, Hikaru had a lot of faith in him. He wasn't overly excited, just a little relieved, "What about the bad news?"
Gojo Satoru, "Your allowance for this semester is gone. Maybe next semester."
Hikaru was excited this time, "...??? I'm broke! If I didn't have a dorm, I'd be homeless. Can't I apply for it?"
"I know, I know… But this is a delicate matter. You don't even know if they're deliberately stalling or if their efficiency is just that low." Gojo Satoru complained, "Just look at them. They're still using handwritten documents and fax machines. It's useless to rush them."
Hikaru Kuganami, "......"
Ah, this.
It sounds like a valid excuse…
Principal Yaga coughed, "Sorry, the school's funds are all being used to rebuild the school building. The new funds haven't been approved yet, but I'll see what I can do."
Hikaru hadn't considered diverting school funds, but Principal Yaga's explanation caught his attention, "Rebuild the school building? Come to think of it, there are a few places that are pretty new…"
Principal Yaga looked grave, "Kuganami-kun, I don't mean to imply anything, but just saying, if you have any particularly powerful attacks in the future, remember not to try them in the direction of the school building or the dorms…"
"...I understand." Hikaru looked at the Principal with sympathy.
Shoko Ieiri leaned against the side and casually asked, "So what now? Do you want to work part-time to pay for your studies? If you cough up blood at work, I don't think your salary will be enough to cover the manager's reputation loss."
Gojo Satoru was confident, "It's okay, I can support him. I promised him anyway."
Shoko Ieiri was taken aback. She looked at Hikaru, "He's letting you support him?"
Hikaru, "...??? I'm not! Gojo Satoru was just joking!" What do you mean "maybe I'm your dad, so I'll support you"? That sounds like a joke, right?
"Why are you still calling me Gojo Satoru? It's too formal." Gojo Satoru's focus shifted, "After all, I'm your future sponsor. Even if you're not willing to call me teacher, you can call me…"
Although he believed and was grateful to Gojo Satoru, Hikaru found it hard to develop respect for him. He looked at him warily, determined that if the other person mentioned "dad" again, he would block him from that point on.
Gojo Satoru, "You can just call me 'Gojo'. Maki and Panda call me that."
Hikaru Kuganami, "Okay, Gojo Satoru."
Gojo Satoru immediately turned to complain, "Shoko! You said I made him cough up blood! Look at him! He's not respectful to his teacher at all! If I'm going to be made to cough up blood, it's because of me!"
Principal Yaga remained silent, thinking, even if it wasn't because of you, it was because you were being a jerk… Since the crisis has been averted, he should leave. The Principal is very busy and doesn't have time to watch Gojo Satoru act.
Shoko Ieiri was used to Gojo Satoru's childish behavior. She didn't sympathize at all. While nodding to the Principal who was about to leave, she said, "It's normal for students to not want to call you teacher. Don't bribe them with money. Act like a teacher."
"Act like a teacher…" Gojo Satoru pondered for a few seconds, his expression suddenly becoming serious, "Hikaru, if you have any questions about your studies, you can ask me. I have a lot of free time now!"
Gojo Satoru actually looked quite teacher-like now, but since Shoko Ieiri had just said that, it made him seem very fake now. But Hikaru didn't care if he was possessed by a drama queen. He asked directly if he had any questions, "How do I use my technique? I've found that to reverse the technique, I have to first understand the direction of its normal operation…"
According to Gojo Satoru, when his technique activates, it randomly gives his eyes a new state, but he's tried for a long time, and it's still the Six Eyes.
Gojo Satoru, "Jujutsu sorcerers usually don't have this problem. They feel it, then it 'whoosh' and then 'bang' and they can use it. So I don't know how to explain it."
Hikaru Kuganami, "......" That's too abstract.
Seeing the look in his new student's eyes that read, "You're still talking about problems coming to ask you?" Gojo Satoru added, "Your situation is rare, but I have a few guesses."
"What guesses?"
"Based on your description, the reason why you've had the Six Eyes continuously this time is probably because the Six Eyes are the most suitable eyes for you now. It's suicidal self-rescue."
Hikaru expressed his confusion, "Why do you say that?"
The most suitable eyes? Self-rescue? It's the most suitable eyes for suicide. If Shoko Ieiri wasn't here, he would have been killed by these eyes sooner or later.
"Wasn't your body getting worse and worse because you hadn't been controlling your technique and cursed energy? The Six Eyes are the best auxiliary tool." Gojo Satoru explained like a serious teacher, "Theoretically, you should be able to control your cursed energy and technique now."
"Cursed energy is fine. The Six Eyes are really useful for controlling cursed energy."
Hikaru had just been treated and was at his peak. He raised his hand, gathered his cursed energy, and demonstrated, "But the technique, no matter how much cursed energy I use to activate it, it doesn't work. Is the method wrong?"
Gojo Satoru hooked the edge of his eye patch with his finger, his clear sky-blue eyes fixed on Hikaru, "The flow of cursed energy is correct… Come to think of it, have you considered a possibility?"
"What?"
"Your technique has a cooldown period."
"......Can there be a cooldown period for that?" Hikaru was baffled, "It's not a game!"
"It would be strange if your technique had no restrictions at all. Just like the Six Eyes can't be turned off… Let's do an experiment tonight?" Gojo Satoru suggested enthusiastically, "Try chanting 'No Six Eyes' a thousand times before you go to sleep. See if your willpower can affect the effect of your technique."
Hikaru Kuganami, "......"
That sounds so unreliable. But there's no other way, so he might as well try it according to Gojo Satoru's instructions.
So, after a day of classes, Hikaru returned to the dorm assigned to him by Jujutsu High, with deep doubts. He chanted "No Six Eyes" according to Gojo Satoru's instructions and fell asleep.
The next morning, Hikaru was awakened by his alarm clock and fell silent as soon as he opened his eyes.
He reached for his phone under his pillow, turned off the alarm, and then pressed the shortcut to call Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru answered the phone quickly.
"It's not the Six Eyes today, but it's not my own eyes either. It's called the Sharingan." Hikaru reported concisely, "And this Sharingan seems very powerful. It has many different ways to use it, but…"
"But?"
Hikaru Kuganami, "I feel like I'm going blind."
Gojo Satoru, "...???"
—Yesterday he saw too much, and today he's going blind? This technique is quite good at keeping track!
