Recently, that nouveau riche Assistant Supervisor has gained immense popularity at Jujutsu High.
In just two short months, almost every student at Jujutsu High had enjoyed "chaebol-style" travel treatment.
They had experienced all kinds of luxury cars and first-class travel, had even treated themselves to quite a few lavish meals along the way.
Although Kobe Suzuo was quite wealthy, she surprisingly lacked any sense of aristocratic airs, she could be considered reasonably diligent in her work as an Assistant Supervisor.
Aside from a minor, inconsequential mishap involving a forgotten bill during her first mission, almost every student at Jujutsu High gave Kobe Suzuo's "service" a five-star rating.
You have to admit, once the fatigue from the journey passed, even exorcising Cursed Spirits became a breeze.
Well, the truth was that the missions handled by Kobe Suzuo provided intelligence so detailed it was almost terrifying, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the extermination work.
As for this point, Kobe Suzuo also provided an explanation: it was the result of the Window's detection system undergoing an upgrade.
The upgraded Window can capture information several times more extensive than before.
But this intelligence is a mix of truth and falsehood; supervisors must undergo special training to filter the correct information from the complex data.
Kobe Suzuo was one of the earliest special talents to master this ability.
That is why the Jujutsu Director sent him to Jujutsu High, to safeguard the future of the Jujutsu World.
The students were somewhat aware of the deeds of that Jujutsu Director from the rumors, so they believed the statement without a second thought.
Coupled with Kobe Suzuo's inhumanly extravagant lifestyle, everything became quite ordinary.
The young master is just going down to the grassroots to build up his resume; I can understand that.
As a young master from one of the Three Great Families, this kind of popularity was something Satoru Gojo could not understand.
Whether it was intuition or a stereotype, he always felt that Kobe Suzuo carried the "scent of the higher-ups" on her.
Even though she wasn't as infuriating as those "old oranges," her occasional condescending attitude always made people feel uncomfortable.
And Satoru Gojo's classmates were quite indifferent to this.
Compared to you, they're nothing at all.
In essence, they are actually the same kind of person, though Satoru is more arrogant, while Mr. Suzuo is more reserved and tactful.
Maybe it's because Mr. Suzuo is older and has already started working?
No, I think even when Satoru Gojo reaches Mr. Suzuo's age, he will still be just as self-centered.
They didn't avoid Satoru Gojo at all when they said these things.
Come to think of it, Satoru Gojo is actually quite approachable; he doesn't act like a young master of the Gojo Clan at all.
Actually, it's because his personality is so terrible that it completely overshadows his other traits.
It was an incredibly harsh assessment, devoid of both classmate affection and the bonds of school friendship.
And as long as Satoru Gojo spoke in rebuttal, that "princess carry photo" that had long been circulating widely throughout Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High would be brought up to make a scene.
Could it be that because such a shameful thing happened, Gojo-kun doesn't like spending time with Mr. Suzuo?
Satoru Gojo originally thought that being hugged by a man was no big deal, but he truly couldn't withstand being teased like this so frequently.
Since Kobe Suzuo was elusive, appearing almost exclusively when there were missions, no similar incidents ever occurred again, the matter was gradually no longer mentioned.
If one were to speak of the greatest benefit Satoru Gojo gained from Kobe Suzuo, it would have to be that he got to eat incredibly delicious desserts with him.
As for Satoru Gojo, he liked all kinds of sweets.
Whether it was the Kikufuku from the old shop on the street, the buttered potatoes from the snack stall, or the pineapple buns from the supermarket chain.
These sweet foods can quickly satisfy a brain that is constantly consuming energy, making Satoru Gojo feel comfortable.
Expensive and exquisite desserts are also favorites, but because he is busy, he does not go out of his way to seek them out.
Eating something that suits one's taste is a matter of luck.
The desserts Kobe Suzuo treated her to were simply a matter of luck.
It could be considered as having helped Satoru Gojo mark a delicious "hunting spot."
Satoru Gojo's precision in capturing taste buds was so high that he even began to doubt whether his own palate was listed in Kobe Suzuo's intelligence.
But Satoru Gojo had never once imagined that he would run into Kobe Suzuo in a restaurant.
With the vision of the Six Eyes, the moment he stepped out of the elevator, he saw the person sitting in the window seat.
Kobe Suzuo's attire was even more formal than when he was working.
His suit was without a single wrinkle, with the embellishments of gemstone cufflinks, a tie clip, earrings, a watch, his entire appearance appeared even more exquisite.
And in the next second, this glittering young nobleman had a face full of water splashed upon him by an elegant lady, who was like a Yamato Nadeshiko from across from him.
Whoa!
Satoru Gojo's first reaction was to want to take out his phone and take a photo.
When he actually raised his phone, his remaining conscience made him hesitate: would it be a bit improper to laugh at someone like this?
That thought lasted only a moment before Satoru Gojo pressed the shutter with a wicked grin.
If such a scene wasn't recorded, it might never be seen again.
And with only a brief delay, Kobe Suzuo seemed to sense something, her deep eyes meeting Satoru Gojo's gaze.
Tsk, how awkward.
..
You are just as the legends say: a gentleman, taciturn, inscrutable.
“Mm.”
Kobe Suzuo gave a low response, while taking the menu from the waiter, she adjusted her glasses.
The woman opposite him was elegant and beautiful, with a high-class background and outstanding abilities, but unfortunately, she was still not the one he was looking for.
They all said you were looking for someone, I didn't believe it at first. But when I came here and saw the way you looked at me, I understood.
You're not looking for the person I'm searching for, are you?
Kobe Suzuo remained silent, like a dull gourd that wouldn't make a sound even after being struck several times.
The lady's fingers curled for a moment, then she said:
“There is no need to be so repulsed; I admire you, I also admire your deep affection.”
“Even if there is no possibility for us, we can still be friends, can't we?”
At the same time, Merlin's synthesized voice rang in Kobe Suzuo's ears:
[Young Master, it is time for you to speak]
Kobe Suzuo took a breath and squeezed out a single word: "Sorry."
[Algorithm readjusted]
[Young Master, are you really not considering changing the entry? All of your rest time over the past half month has been spent on "blind dates," yet the progress bar for the "Fated Person" hasn't moved even a fraction. This is not in line with your efficiency.]
Kobe Suzuo silently calculated the amount of time the lady before him had left before she lost her patience.
“Young Master Kobe, I truly cannot understand you. You have chosen the fastest way to infuriate me by refusing to communicate with me. What benefit does that bring you?”
The woman pursed her lips, her expression turning completely cold.
The young master of the Kobe Family issued a sincere "date" invitation, yet when they met, he remained speechless.
Over the past half month, the changes in the rumors had become so frequent that they were almost being labeled as "mockery."
And now, she does not intend to waste any more time.
They were right, you really are an idiot.
The woman picked up the warm tea that had just been placed on the table and splashed it out without hesitation.
Normally, she wouldn't be so impulsive.
But this venting session was tacitly approved by this young master of the Kobe Family; it was the compensation she deserved for being "teased."
The young master of the Kobe Family, having had water splashed all over his face, remained elegant and dignified; a few stray strands of hair softened his facial features, making him look unexpectedly fragile.
The accumulated anger had actually dissipated a bit. The woman picked up her bag and left with a parting remark:
I wish you a speedy reunion with the person you are destined to meet.
He left without looking back.
Kobe Suzuo let out a long breath before finally issuing a command to the AI:
Keep calculating, Merlin. This is the most efficient method I can think of at the moment.
[To be blunt, Young Master, you are completely clueless when it comes to romance]
Kobe Suzuo let out a soft snort. "You, an idiot AI with forty-seven percent of your functions missing, are just as bad as I am."
Such bouts of mutual insults had already played out many times before.
This was undoubtedly a "suicidal blind date," designed to disappoint the other party as quickly as possible, cutting off any possibility of romance while simultaneously resolving any potential trouble that might follow.
Kobe Suzuo had enjoyed twenty years of smooth sailing; aside from being kidnapped, suffering from insomnia, having stomach issues, the greatest hardships she had ever faced had all occurred within these few days.
He looked down at his disheveled state and was about to get up to leave when Merlin's synthetic voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Young Master, please pay attention to the person in front of you. According to the data calculations, the probability that he is your Fated Person is 89.99%.
This was the largest number Merlin had provided since the calculation began.
Kobe Suzuo's gaze suddenly sharpened, locking directly with the eyes of Satoru Gojo, who had just put down his phone.
Even from a considerable distance, Kobe Suzuo saw him at a single glance.
The tall youth with white hair and blue eyes was truly too eye-catching.
In an instant, Kobe Suzuo thought of many things.
For instance, why a bratty kid with a bad temper like Satoru Gojo would be factored into the algorithm; for instance, why it hadn't occurred to him before that the target could actually be a man; for instance, that Satoru Gojo could actually be considered a top-tier "rich, beautiful, talented" woman.
And, his first meeting with Satoru Gojo did indeed trigger a "Passive" by a very strange coincidence.
In the embrace of a domineering CEO, there were always people who would inexplicably crash into them.
By the time Kobe Suzuo walked up to Satoru Gojo, he had already fully awakened.
