[700 preorders to launch]
Xinggu Rins opens Jujutsu Turn-Based Game. It's easy to pick up, and the monsters are things called curses, whose appearances are pretty abstract. They're divided into four ranks based on how difficult they are to defeat.
Because she grinds hard and spends freely, she quickly clears the beginner chapters and enters Jujutsu High.
The game's flexibility opens up instantly. She can talk to NPCs and invite them to fight monsters with her.
But the NPCs here aren't very pleasant to talk to, especially the white-haired guy wearing sunglasses. So Rin often refuses to take him along to fight monsters and uses random skills dropped by the game interface to prank him.
A very strange person has recently arrived at Jujutsu High: during battles, she has to take turns attacking curses, one hit from her, one hit from them. It's an incredibly bizarre sight.
The Six Eyes' prodigy can't figure out what her cursed technique is, and even Limitless can't block her attacks.
Gojo: Are we really just going to stand here and watch her fight curses, Geto?
Geto: We can't exactly get involved.
Gojo: Ah...
Geto: The curse got a combo.
Gojo: Huh...
Geto: Yeah, the curse just counterattacked.
We thought she was an incredibly powerful classmate who was hiding her abilities, but sometimes she also crashes and burns against a mere Grade 3 curse, just like in the scene above.
Just as the best-friend duo starts thinking that this "hidden powerhouse" of a classmate is actually just a bit dim...
Jujutsu Headquarters suddenly sounds the alarm, saying she's slaughtered everyone on the first floor.
Wow. 6.
System notice: The instance "Star Plasma Vessel Incident" is about to begin. This instance cannot be entered a second time. Failure will count as permanent failure. Please confirm.
The instance has to be played eventually, Rin Xinggu thinks, and clicks confirm.
The instant Toji thinks his plan is perfect and appears behind Jujutsu High, a sharp attack is blocked by a young woman.
Gojo: ?
Geto: ?
Toji: ?
Rin: Whenever an instance boss appears, there's a red warning. Can't you see it?
System notice: The Grade 1 instance "Land God" is about to begin. This instance cannot be entered a second time. Failure will count as permanent failure. Please confirm.
Why is this weird notice here again? Xinggu Rin clicks confirm.
As Xinggu Rin expected, a Grade 1 curse appears.
Haibara: Senpai, you're amazing! How did you guess this was a Grade 1 case?
Rin: The instance said Grade 1. Aren't you an NPC? You didn't know? Also, I'm a player. Who are you calling senpai?
