"The reason I called you all here today is for this."
Yaga Masamichi picked up a piece of chalk and quickly wrote a line of characters on the blackboard.
Then, Yaga Masamichi turned around, slammed his right fist into his left palm, and struck the blackboard with a powerful Aura, declaring,
"The Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event that you are about to participate in!"
The air was silent.
Just as Yaga Masamichi's impassioned expression was about to break, Geto finally spoke up with a question.
"Excuse me, Yaga-sensei."
"Is there a problem, Geto?"
These Young Men nowadays completely lack passion.
Yaga Masamichi sighed inwardly.
"What is the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event?"
As the only Jujutsu Sorcerer from a common background, Geto was indeed unfamiliar with these traditions of the High School.
"Ah, I know this one."
Gojo Satoru, standing nearby, raised his hand to interject.
"The Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event is basically playing a big free-for-all with the High School students from Kyoto."
Bang.
"Completely wrong!"
"Sumimasen, Sensei." (I know I was wrong, Yaga-sensei.)
After retracting his iron fist, Yaga Masamichi returned to the podium.
"The Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event is a two-day Jujutsu exchange activity between the students of the Tokyo School and the Kyoto School of Tokyo Jujutsu High, conducted according to the exchange methods agreed upon by the principals."
"During this event…"
He's completely taken on the role of a principal now.
Eichi looked at Yaga Masamichi, who was meticulously explaining the Exchange Event's procedures and precautions on the podium, and sighed with emotion.
The old principal had already semi-retired, and in just over a year, Yaga Masamichi would be promoted to the new principal.
"But I remember this is only for second and third-year students, right?"
Shoko Ieiri raised her hand to ask.
"There was only one third-year student, and that student died during a mission a while ago."
Yaga Masamichi's voice was somewhat heavy.
"Therefore, I plan to have the first-years participate this time to make up for the lack of numbers."
"Leave it to me, I'll beat the Kyoto School into a pulp."
"Wrong!"
Yaga Masamichi corrected loudly.
"The Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event is a Jujutsu exchange between Jujutsu Sorcerers, not a street brawl."
"I know, I know, there's clearly no difference…"
Gojo Satoru's voice made Yaga Masamichi's blood pressure rise a little.
"Never mind, the second-year students will be back soon. You can get acquainted with them then and prepare for the upcoming Exchange Event."
"What kind of people are the second-year students?"
"Their names are Utahime Iori and Mei Mei. You can ask the rest yourselves later. Now, meeting adjourned."
After class, the group gathered in a circle.
"Have you seen the second-year students?"
Geto spoke first.
"Never even heard of them, so they're probably not that strong."
Gojo Satoru said indifferently.
"That's not true, Gojo."
Eichi offered a dissenting opinion.
"Oh, are they strong?"
Gojo Satoru became interested.
"Utahime's Technique is a support Technique. While it doesn't help much in direct combat, its effects are very strong and can even boost your abilities."
"Mei Mei, that seems to be a codename."
Was Usami, as mentioned by Kusakabe, Mei Mei's real name?
"Although Mei Mei's Technique isn't strong, she herself is a Genius, and her future achievements are estimated to be very high."
"What about now?"
"…Even if both of them came at you, they couldn't beat you."
"Boring."
Eichi was speechless.
If everyone who came out could fight you, what would happen?
This isn't the era where Gojo Satoru becomes 2.5 Gojo Satoru.
But Mei Mei, huh.
To be honest, Eichi found it hard to imagine such a perfectly happy woman existing in Jujutsu Kaisen, a work that was becoming increasingly dark.
This can be seen by comparing her to other female characters.
First, the pseudo-protagonist Nobara Kugisaki.
Although she is a very beautiful and cool character.
However, in this world, Nobara's appearance is not actually top-tier.
This can be seen from other female characters and that talent scout.
Secondly, Nobara's strength also couldn't keep up with the plot's demands.
88 Bridge was her last moment of glory, truly cool, but not long after that, she went offline.
Look at Naruto next door; Sakura could at least join the final battle.
Although her role was not significant, she still participated.
Hinata's strength was relatively weak?
No problem, even if she's weak, she can still be the female protagonist, and when the male protagonist comes to save her, they can also share a huge display of affection.
But look at Nobara, she just went offline, and later, the one waiting to be saved by the protagonist was actually Megumi.
So, Megumi is indeed the true female protagonist, right?
And other characters too.
Utahime has a good personality, is good-looking, and very reliable.
But, she was disfigured.
Miwa Kasumi, one of the few normal people in Jujutsu Kaisen.
After making a Binding Vow that almost ended her Jujutsu Sorcerer career, her strongest slash was parried barehanded by Kenjaku.
Mai.
An unhappy childhood, and finally thrown into a pile of Cursed Spirits to feed them.
Before her death, she sacrificed herself to empower her sister.
Maki.
Her tragic childhood experiences go without saying.
Finally, disfigured + clan annihilation, and her eyes changed from vibrant to as lifeless and indifferent as Toji's.
Yuki Tsukumo.
Powerful, beautiful, and with an undeniable figure.
But Yuki Tsukumo was first tricked by Tengen, then became 49.5 Yuki, and even her final self-detonation was actively suppressed in range because she feared too much collateral damage.
As a result, Kenjaku said, "If you had been a little more ruthless, I might have died."
It felt a bit like being forced to be a clown.
The female characters in this world always give off a strange feeling.
Either overdoing it, like Maki.
Or giving up too hard, like Mai.
But there is one woman who is different; she is the unique fireworks in Jujutsu Kaisen.
Mei Mei!
Mei Mei's Jujutsu Technique, Black Bird Manipulation, is not powerful.
Because of this, for a long time, Mei Mei diligently trained her Body Refining, relying on it and cursed tools to exorcise Cursed Spirits.
This is also why Mei Mei would later use that large axe cursed tool.
Honestly, the first time Eichi saw such a captivating older woman use such a contrasting weapon, he was completely stunned.
The contrast, it's beyond words, it's amazing!
Black Bird Manipulation's killing move, Kamikaze, was also developed later.
However, both her Body Refining and the development of her Technique prove one thing.
Mei Mei is a Genius.
According to the logic of this world, a Genius like Mei Mei would likely not have a good ending.
However, Mei Mei is the person who best understands the Dao of moderation in the entire work.
Mei Mei pursues making money, but she doesn't excessively crave wealth; instead, she enjoys the process of saving money more.
She is powerful, but she still tries every possible way to improve herself.
For example, after her own strength became difficult to improve, she used Ui Ui to compensate for her shortcomings in retreat and Domain confrontation.
And she is also very knowledgeable about social etiquette.
After escaping from Kenjaku and recovering her condition, the first thing Mei Mei did was to handle her assets in the island nation.
She also notified her supporters and business partners.
Whether viewed from the perspective of strength, beauty, career, or life, Mei Mei can be considered the most clear-headed Jujutsu Sorcerer in this world.
It's hard to imagine such a perfectly happy woman existing in Jujutsu Kaisen.
