Reborn, My Archenemy Can Read My Mind

Kisogawa Hoki was a panda girl with a serious top obsession in her previous life. One day, she transmigrated into the world of Jujutsu and became a Grade 3 sorcerer at Kyoto Jujutsu High.

She used to like the strongest cat in the manga, but during the sister-school exchange event, he beat her up without holding back. Her self-esteem was shattered, so she decided to stop being his fan and become a hater instead, then kick him while he was down.

As someone obsessed with being number one, she always had someone firmly holding her back, leaving her stuck in second place for ten years. Her love turned to hate until she could barely stand him, and yet he loved showing off in front of her.

On the day of the Shinjuku Incident, Hoki saw him near death on the battlefield through the surveillance cameras. Just like in the manga, everyone was in chaos. Though she was a mage who couldn't fight at close range, she petrified all the cursed spirits, including Sukuna, with her bare hands. Then, coughing up blood as she held the dying Six Eyes, she said she'd take him with her even if she had to die.

But she never expected to return to two years earlier, to a time when she and her archnemesis were at each other's throats and she would rather gouge out her eyes than look at him.

Good thing she'd figured out how to use her matter conversion technique against people. This time, she would definitely be the strongest in the jujutsu world! And she could take the opportunity to mock her archnemesis for nearly being killed by his own student.

Hoki kicked open the door to Tokyo Jujutsu High and sneered at the tall man with bandages over his eyes. "Well, well, the strongest. I heard your student killed you. You've gotten pretty pathetic after all these years, huh?"

The strongest white-haired sorcerer raised an eyebrow, stepped closer, and tilted his head. "Hoki, were you dreaming about me?"

"Honestly, I knew you were all talk, Hoki. You clearly like me."

Hoki was speechless.

He'd hit the mark, but she'd already stopped being his fan and become a hater.

Gojo Satoru had a junior who was all talk, with the hardest mouth on her entire body. Ten years ago, she was a junior at Kyoto Jujutsu High, and he pinned her down and beat her during the sister-school exchange event. She'd held a grudge against him ever since, steadily climbing from Grade 3 to Special Grade and becoming an inspirational legend and an idol to young sorcerers throughout the jujutsu world. The funny thing was, she had no idea, and still thought he was the most popular one.

His junior hated him because he'd beaten everyone during the exchange event, including her. She was so frail back then that she would have been better off living as a non-sorcerer rather than becoming a sorcerer. And so she hated him.

His junior hated the great families. As a freelance sorcerer, she was always kept beneath them, and they wanted to control her. Since he was the head of one of those great families, she hated him.

His junior hated people who disrupted her normal life, as well as extreme lunatics. Geto's actions had left her with a mountain of work, and since he was Geto's best friend, she hated him.

"Pretty boy, crazy, strongest, hey, you, bastard." Those were the names she called him. She had no respect for her senior at all.

She hated him so much that she wouldn't even let anyone else kill him. If he was going to die, it had to be by her hand. She told him she'd take him with her even if she died, then used her matter conversion technique to turn them both into soft flower petals.

But the very next second after they died together, he returned to the time when Yuta had just enrolled.

His junior kicked the door open and immediately started mocking him.

She really did hate him as much as ever.

But then he heard a voice: [Huh? How can I spoil the plot? Didn't I used to throw up blood whenever I said anything? I even used that to make Shoko keep this dead cat at my service for a whole month.]

Dead cat?

His junior lifted her chin and glanced at Maki. "You're so pathetic. Don't start crying the moment someone teases you."

[My dependable big brother! I was blind to like this dead cat. I should've been a Yuta fan from the start. I think I went on a mission with him in my last life, and he was really considerate. I said there was a cursed spirit in the lake, and he jumped right in... I wonder if he's into older women.]

His junior looked at Maki.

[The ship I rooted for is doomed. Maki and Mai's perfectly dark, forbidden love! Damn it, can't you two just kiss for no reason?]

His junior finally turned to look at him.

[I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him! I don't like this dead cat at all, so why did I die with him? I hate him, I hate him, I hate him!!!]

The strongest: "..."
