A few days later...
Jujutsu High, the dormitory hallway.
Geto Suguru, Satoru, Shoko Ieiri, and Alex Moyan were walking together as usual.
In the hallway, Shoko Ieiri let out a sigh: "Sigh, there have been so many missions lately. I'm almost dead from exhaustion."
"I've even noticed dark circles under my eyes recently."
Beside her, Geto Suguru squinted his eyes and comforted Shoko gently.
"The number of Cursed Spirits has indeed increased lately, but it's alright. It'll pass soon, and then you can take a good vacation."
"That's right, Shoko, just stay relaxed in the rear."
Satoru grinned and chimed in.
"Me, Suguru, and Alex—the three of us are the strongest."
"There's no mission or trouble we can't handle."
"Am I right, Suguru, Alex?"
Satoru looked toward Alex Moyan as he spoke.
Alex Moyan nodded and said as if it were obvious, "Of course."
Just as the group reached a corner with a vending machine and a bench in a rest area,
A beautiful and sexy blonde woman suddenly appeared in their sight.
The three of them looked at the woman with faces full of confusion.
Only Alex Moyan recognized that the woman before them was none other than the fellow Special Grade Sorcerer, Yuki Tsukumo!
Yuki Tsukumo put her hands on her hips and struck a pose that was both sexy and showed off her perfect curves.
Then, she delivered her classic opening line.
"You must be Geto Suguru, Satoru, and Alex Moyan."
"What type of women do you like?"
Geto Suguru and Satoru stared at this overly familiar woman with blank expressions.
Just as Geto Suguru was about to ask who Yuki Tsukumo was,
Satoru beat him to it, asking, "Who are you?"
Yuki Tsukumo gave a confident, mysterious smile, her eyes full of pride.
"Special Grade Sorcerer, Yuki Tsukumo."
Geto Suguru was slightly surprised as he looked at Yuki Tsukumo.
He blurted out, "You're that one..."
Seeing that Geto Suguru had heard of her name, Yuki Tsukumo immediately showed a happy expression, looking forward to his next words of praise.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's me."
"You're that useless person who is a Special Grade but doesn't take missions at all, just idling around abroad."
One could visibly see it happen to Yuki Tsukumo upon hearing those words.
The light of expectation, hope, and spirit in her eyes... vanished.
Yuki Tsukumo felt a wave of dejection, as if the sky had lost its color.
But she quickly recovered; she had a purpose for coming here.
That's right, it was him—Alex Moyan!
Looking at the white-haired youth who covered his mouth with his collar,
Yuki Tsukumo asked, "Alex Moyan, what type of women do you like?"
Alex Moyan glanced at Yuki Tsukumo and replied flatly, "Me? My requirements are simple. She just needs to be breathtakingly beautiful, a national treasure of grace, with pearly teeth and rosy lips, a delicate countenance, like a lotus emerging from water, graceful and poised, an absolute beauty of the age, with features like a painting, bright eyes and clear brows, as handsome as jade, a face like a flower and skin like cream, eyes like autumn pools, standing tall and elegant, with the air of an immortal, a refined beauty from a humble home, intelligent and beautiful within, vibrant as a peach tree, with a thousand graces, hands like soft jade, capable of eclipsing the moon and shaming flowers, noble and cold, outshining all others, clever as ice and snow, gentle and lovely, the most magnificent of her generation, naturally gifted, a master of the household and the kitchen, skilled in both the arts and martial ways, and immortal. That's all."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was completely stunned!
We understood everything before, but what the hell was that 'immortal' part at the end!
Alex Moyan gave a 'tch': "Haven't you all heard the saying?"
"If she's three years older, you hold a gold brick; if she's three hundred years older, she'll give you an immortal elixir."
Yuki Tsukumo realized it—this kid was playing her!
Where would such a woman even exist!
Could it be...
Seeing the three grown men so close to each other, Yuki Tsukumo couldn't help but...
Eww~~
This was the pure gaze coming from Yuki Tsukumo.
Alex Moyan interrupted her wicked gaze and said, "Excuse me, Ms. Yuki Tsukumo, why are you looking for me?"
Yuki Tsukumo replied, "Naturally, to see for myself the fellow Special Grade Sorcerer who was recently promoted—you."
Alex Moyan smiled, "Oh? Is that so?"
Yuki Tsukumo: "Of course."
"Then give me a congratulatory gift."
As he spoke, Alex Moyan stretched out his fair and slender hand.
"I am a student."
Yuki Tsukumo was dumbfounded. What was going on?
How did things develop in this direction?
But for some reason, she still reached into her wallet as if possessed and gave Alex Moyan a gift.
Taking the money, Alex Moyan laughed, "Thank you for the congratulatory gift, big sister Yuki Tsukumo!"
Hearing Alex Moyan's voice, Yuki Tsukumo finally snapped out of it and remembered the intel about him.
"Cursed Speech Technique!"
"Kid, you played me!"
Yuki Tsukumo glared at Alex Moyan with an angry gaze.
The reason she had dizzily pulled out her money just now was clearly the work of the Cursed Speech Technique!
This kid actually used such underhanded tricks!
If the kid didn't give her a reasonable explanation today, she would definitely show him what's what.
And the reason Alex Moyan did this was simply to provoke the other party.
That way, he would have a chance to fight Yuki Tsukumo and comprehend her Cursed Technique.
As for why he provoked Yuki Tsukumo...
An angry battle, fists carrying fire.
Only then would it be more explosive, pure, and easier for one to comprehend a brand new and powerful Cursed Technique!
Alex Moyan VS Yuki Tsukumo!
Special Grade against Special Grade!
