The next day.

When Shinsuke Zenin arrived at Jujutsu High, two students had already been waiting in the classroom for a long time.

The empty classroom contained only the two students and Satoru Gojo, who was getting impatient.

"You're finally here, big brother. Can't you have some sense of time?"

Satoru Gojo quipped.

"You didn't tell me the specific time, did you?" Shinsuke Zenin retorted.

He had always been punctual. If he said he'd arrive in the morning, he'd arrive in the morning. If no specific time was given, then eleven o'clock was still considered morning, wasn't it?

"..." Satoru Gojo.

Unable to find a response, Satoru Gojo looked helpless. "My bad, alright? Come here, you two. Starting today, this gentleman will be your homeroom teacher. You'll go to him for everything."

"Of course, if you have any questions about your Cursed Technique, you can ask me, or any of the other teachers."

Satoru Gojo pulled the two students in front of Shinsuke Zenin and said:

"Get acquainted. I have other things to attend to."

With that, Satoru Gojo left. As a Special Grade Sorcerer, he didn't have as much free time as Shinsuke Zenin.

Shinsuke Zenin ignored Satoru Gojo and looked at the two students before him, one male and one female.

No, to be precise, one male and one male-presenting female.

"Introduce yourselves briefly."

The man with a slightly mature appearance stepped forward and said:

"Kinji Hakari, male. I like doing passionate things."

"Kirara Hoshi, female. I don't have any particular hobbies."

Seeing the person who looked like a delicate girl but had a lip piercing, Shinsuke Zenin frowned slightly. "Do you think I can't tell you're a man?"

It's fine if you're a male-presenting female, it's not something to hide.

"You saw through me, alright." Kirara Hoshi stuck out his tongue.

He thought he could have fooled them.

"My name is Shinsuke Zenin. You can call me Teacher Zenin, or Teacher Shinsuke. I don't have many rules as a teacher. I only ask one thing of you: by the time you graduate, you must at least reach the level of a Grade 1 Sorcerer."

Shinsuke Zenin stated his sole requirement, believing that these two could meet it.

If Kinji Hakari was lucky, he might even become a Special Grade.

However, with the thinking of those old fossils in power, it was unlikely they would ever classify him as Special Grade.

"Teacher, are you a sorcerer from the Zenin Family?"

Kinji Hakari asked.

"Yes and no. These are not questions you should be concerned about."

Shinsuke Zenin looked at the two. "From now on, if you have any questions about your Cursed Technique, go to Satoru Gojo. If you're on a mission or encounter any difficulties, just call me."

After giving them his contact information, Shinsuke Zenin thought for a moment and felt there was nothing else. "That's all for today. Train hard at Jujutsu High and strive to reach Grade 1 as soon as possible. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

After giving his final instructions, Shinsuke Zenin left amidst the bewildered stares of the two students.

Seeing the empty classroom with only the two of them, they exchanged glances. Kinji Hakari said, "Don't you feel like this teacher is a bit unreliable?"

Both their homeroom teacher and Satoru Gojo, who found them, gave off an unreliable vibe.

For two newcomers to the Jujutsu World, their luck was indeed quite bad to have ended up with such a teacher.

"Before coming here, I did some research. The white-haired one is the pillar of the Jujutsu World, the strongest sorcerer of our time."

"As for Teacher Zenin, our homeroom teacher, although he has the strength of a Grade 1 Sorcerer, he himself doesn't possess a Cursed Technique, nor does he have Cursed Energy."

Kirara Hoshi clearly knew a bit more than Kinji Hakari.

"He's from the Zenin Family, but I heard his relationship with them isn't very good."

"What do we do now?" Kirara Hoshi chewed his gum and looked at Kinji Hakari beside him.

"How should I know?" Kinji Hakari was speechless.

Is this school even reliable?

"Let's ask some other teachers. At least we need to figure out what we should do next."

The two wandered around Jujutsu High like headless flies. Their sorcerer careers began at this very moment.

For several months, Shinsuke Zenin, their homeroom teacher, seemed to have disappeared, and they never saw him again.

Not only that, but he was also getting paid a high salary for nothing.

However, such good days couldn't last forever. Until a phone call came, his leisurely days finally came to an end.

"Hello, hello? Is this Teacher Shinsuke Zenin?"

A somewhat familiar voice came from that direction. Shinsuke Zenin paused for a moment before realizing, "Kinji Hakari?"

"It's me, teacher. It's like this, Kirara and I took on a mission to get promoted to Grade 2 Sorcerer, and we need our teacher to accompany us..."

Kinji Hakari explained the situation to Shinsuke Zenin.

If the situation hadn't been so unusual, they wouldn't have wanted to bother their teacher, who had been letting them do their own thing.

After all, without their teacher watching over them, they were quite free.

"Grade 2 Sorcerer, huh?"

Shinsuke Zenin mused. It had only been a few months. It seemed geniuses were truly different, able to participate in Grade 2 Sorcerer assessments in just a few months.

"Alright, I understand."

For a Grade 2 Sorcerer assessment, the target must be at least a Grade 2 Curse.

Geniuses always got special treatment. Perhaps the two would encounter some unforeseen circumstances during their mission and run into a Grade 1 Curse or something.

He could just take care of it then.

Grabbing a regular cursed tool long sword, Shinsuke Zenin headed to Jujutsu High to take the two on their promotion assessment mission.

Upon arriving at Jujutsu High, Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi were standing next to Riko Amanai, who had a displeased look on her face.

"Uncle, your teacher is too irresponsible! Do you know I've been teaching them these past few months?"

Amanai put her hands on her hips, extremely annoyed.

Satoru Gojo had been extremely busy lately, so he could only spare some time for Amanai to teach the two about Cursed Energy and Cursed Techniques.

It was purely voluntary, with no pay, because the salary was all going to Shinsuke Zenin.

It was equivalent to her doing the work while he collected the salary.

"Uh... is that so."

Shinsuke Zenin suddenly understood. No wonder the two hadn't contacted him in months; it turned out Amanai had been helping them.

"How about I transfer a month's salary to you?"

Shinsuke Zenin scratched his head. Any more than that wouldn't be possible.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm only squeezing out a little time a week anyway. Just let me freeload a few meals at your place from now on."

Amanai waved her hand, not wanting money.

She just genuinely wanted to complain about this irresponsible uncle.

"Of course, no problem. You're always welcome."

"If that's the case, then I'll take these two to go over the promotion mission first."

"OK."

Amanai made a gesture. "These two students have excellent talent. You should pay more attention to them, teacher."

Hearing this, Shinsuke Zenin smiled indifferently.

Geniuses should be allowed to create things freely.

"Let's go, my two little geniuses. It's time for your mission."

"..."

Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi's cheeks twitched slightly. This homeroom teacher was indeed a bit unreliable.

Fortunately, they were confident in their own strength. A mere Grade 2 Sorcerer assessment was a piece of cake.
