The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 07

Title: Opening Ceremony

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an explosion of noise in the classroom. Some people looked at Satoru with admiration and envy, thinking he was strong, while others were surprised and impressed by his strong aura, and some were skeptical, thinking he might just be bragging or joking.

However, at that moment, someone suddenly shouted: “I remember! Gojo Satoru, you’re the famous Gojo Satoru!”

This statement exploded like thunder among the crowd, and the initially slightly noisy classroom became even more lively.

When Kaguya heard this voice, she thought of something as she looked at the somewhat familiar face, and a bit of surprise appeared in her eyes: ‘That’s him.’

“Hey, the student over there, what’s up with Gojo-san?” Everyone interested in the sudden shout looked curiously and asked.

The student who first shouted was very excited at this moment and said in a trembling voice: “Do you know? He is the legendary genius, Gojo Satoru! At the age of just 14, he has a vast fortune of 50 billion yen!”

Before he finished speaking, the crowd around him suddenly burst into an uproar, and various rumors and reports about Satoru immediately came to mind.

“Wow, really? It’s amazing to be so rich at such a young age!”

“So that’s him. I’ve heard this name before, but I didn’t expect to see the legendary figure in person today.”

“Gojo-kun is really amazing. We’re quite lucky to be in the same class as such a genius!”

For a moment, exclamations and praises came one after another, and the whole class was immersed in a warm atmosphere. However, as the discussion became more intense, the originally orderly classroom gradually became chaotic.

At this moment, Hiratsuka slammed the podium, making a clear and loud sound that shocked the whole audience.

“Quiet!”

She said firmly, her eyes showing authority and determination. The initially noisy classroom fell silent in an instant.

After seeing the classroom become quiet, Hiratsuka glared at Satoru and spoke before pointing to the empty seat in the back row near the window.

“Gojo, please sit there.”

Satoru nodded, smiled at Hiratsuka, then slowly put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the empty seat.

After seeing Satoru sit down, Hiratsuka checked the time, looked at everyone in the class, and said,

“We’ll postpone the self-introductions for now. We’ll continue after the opening ceremony. Now, let’s head to the auditorium for the opening ceremony.” After saying that, Hiratsuka turned and walked out of the classroom, and the people in the class began to follow her out.

Satoru looked at the quiet girl next to him and said, “Hello, deskmate.”

The girl tilted her head slightly, looking at Satoru who greeted her with a bit of confusion, and softly asked, “Are you talking to me?”

“Of course, the beautiful and charming girl at the same desk!” Hearing the girl’s question, Satoru smiled brightly.

At the same time, he thought to himself: ‘What an interesting girl~’

Hearing Satoru’s firm response, a bit of barely noticeable surprise flashed in the girl’s originally calm eyes, but she quickly returned to her original state.

As for what Satoru said next, the girl seemed not to hear it.

“Hello, Gojo-kun, my name is Kato Megumi.”

After realizing that the other party was indeed talking to her, the girl nodded politely and briefly introduced herself in response to Satoru’s greeting.

“Oh~ It’s Megumi-chan!” Satoru deliberately extended his tone.

Faced with Satoru’s overly affectionate greeting, Megumi neither refuted nor corrected him, nor did she show any disgust.

“The class is about to leave. Aren’t you going to attend the opening ceremony, Gojo-kun?”

Megumi turned around, with a bit of doubt and curiosity in her eyes. She looked at him calmly, as if waiting for his answer.

Seeing Megumi’s reaction, Satoru slightly raised the corners of his mouth, finding this girl more and more interesting.

He decided to tease her, so he deliberately delayed for a moment before answering: “How could I not? Of course, I have to attend the opening ceremony! But it would be better if someone would be willing to accompany me~”

After saying that, Satoru’s bright eyes looked at her closely, with a bit of mischief and expectation. Then, he immediately stood up with a bright smile on his face. At the same time, he extended his hand to Megumi and warmly invited: “How about it, Megumi-chan, would you come with me?”

Megumi hesitated a bit. She remembered feeling three gazes from different directions earlier. However, seeing Satoru’s warm smile like the sun, the tension in her heart gradually disappeared. After thinking for a moment, she still didn’t say anything. After pondering for a while, she gently replied: “Alright, I don’t mind…”

Although still feeling a bit worried, Megumi finally nodded and expressed her willingness to accept Satoru’s invitation. She lifted her head and looked at him, with a sense of inexplicable trust in her eyes.

“Then, let’s go, Megumi-chan!” Satoru happily took Megumi’s hand and walked towards the auditorium together.

Their figures gradually receded, leaving behind a series of quick footsteps.

The spacious and bright auditorium was bustling and lively.

Asuna sat quietly in her seat, looking ahead absentmindedly, but the scene she saw when she just left the classroom kept popping into her mind.

That strange girl stood with Satoru, and they seemed to be talking about something.

Asuna felt a doubt in her heart.

‘What’s the relationship between that girl and Satoru-kun? Why have I never seen her before?’

She thought to herself, remembering Satoru talking to that girl, she didn’t even realize his presence. So, what were they talking about? So curious…

Yukino sat next to Asuna, also looking a bit absentminded.

‘I thought we’d never meet again, the hateful guy who talked to himself and left me without permission…’

When they met again at Shuchi’in Academy, Yukino was very surprised, and her heart was filled with joy.

However, when she thought about Satoru leaving her without any warning, without even saying goodbye, and then disappearing without a trace, Yukino couldn’t help but feel anger in her heart.

However, she still felt very relieved to meet Satoru again. After all, it was a great happiness that this man, whom she once loved and hated, appeared in front of her again...
