Satoru Gojo Wants to Punch Someone

"What level have you reached in your training?"

Toji stared at Shinsuke Zenin.

His older brother, who had nothing better to do, was far more leisurely than him. He should have already been able to open his fifth acupoint, right?

Toji guessed in his heart.

"Just a little faster than you."

"Alright, why are you asking so much? After I finish eating, I still need to go see my nephew and niece."

Shinsuke Zenin ended the topic.

After enjoying a free meal set, Shinsuke Zenin and Toji returned home, checked on Tsumiki's condition, and then spoke to Megumi about going to Jujutsu High.

Megumi had no objections. He also wanted to try a new life. After studying for so long, he needed to test his skills in actual combat.

A month passed quickly. Satoru Gojo finally brought Yuta Okkotsu out into the open.

When the higher-ups learned of this, they realized they had been tricked by Shinsuke Zenin and Satoru Gojo. They were so angry they tried to cause trouble for the two men overnight.

However, upon meeting them, the two showed such indifferent attitudes that the higher-ups were powerless against them.

If Satoru Gojo hadn't guaranteed that he would train Yuta Okkotsu into a sorcerer as outstanding as himself, the old men in the higher-ups would likely have been angered to the point of spitting blood.

In the end, the higher-ups compromised. Yuta Okkotsu, who had "come back from the dead," had his death sentence commuted to a suspended death sentence, to be decided based on future circumstances.

"It really is useful to be a Special Grade sorcerer,"

Shinsuke Zenin said to Satoru Gojo with a teasing tone.

"Is that so? If I had known these old guys would react like this, I should have brought Yuta out a month ago."

Satoru Gojo sat on the steps of Jujutsu High's main gate, scratching his head with a displeased expression.

The moment Shinsuke Zenin received his reward from the higher-ups, he could have brought Yuta out. It was only out of consideration for the higher-ups' pride that he grudgingly waited for a month.

The effect was quite significant. At least the old men in the higher-ups were only slightly angry. If the higher-ups had known they were played for fools the moment Shinsuke Zenin received his reward, some of them might have actually died of anger.

"By the way, Maki Zenin was that little kid at your place back then, right? Why did you send her to Jujutsu High?"

A while ago, Tokyo Jujutsu High began welcoming its new first-year students. This year, including Yuta, there were a total of four, which was quite a lot.

Maki Zenin also joined Jujutsu High around that time.

Satoru Gojo recognized her at a glance.

After all, he hadn't encountered such weak, undetectable Cursed Energy anywhere else.

"She came on her own, to become stronger. You're their homeroom teacher now, so you better fulfill your responsibilities as a teacher."

Shinsuke Zenin said with a smile. Now that Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi had been promoted to second-years, there was basically nothing for him to worry about.

And Satoru Gojo, teaching the first-years, would have a lot to worry about.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're the least qualified person to say that, aren't you?"

Satoru Gojo said speechlessly.

"I'm not talking about this with you. In a year, my nephew will also report to Jujutsu High. Make sure to take good care of him. He's destined to become the strongest sorcerer of this modern era."

"..." Satoru Gojo.

"I won't. If you want to bring him, bring him yourself. I'm busy. If it weren't for Yuta, where would I find the time to teach students?"

Satoru Gojo flatly refused. He did know about Megumi's situation, having awakened the Zenin Family's inherited Cursed Technique. Such a thing, like when he awakened Limitless and the Six Eyes as a child, would quickly become known to the big shots in the Jujutsu community.

He was someone with the potential to become the strongest. If he had the time, he wouldn't mind taking on more students.

But when he thought about how Shinsuke Zenin, as a teacher himself, was always trying to push his troubles onto him, he found that even the time he did have disappeared.

Not only was he not teaching his own disciple, but he was also being asked to take care of his nephew.

This was the son of the person who had tried to assassinate him back then.

Technically, he had a grudge against Toji, but this guy had managed to fool him.

Asking him to raise the child of his enemy? It sounded quite interesting.

"It's fine, it's just a small favor. You'll have the time."

Shinsuke Zenin said with a smile, hands in his pockets, as he left.

"This guy, still so annoying... I really want to beat him up."

Satoru Gojo felt extremely displeased looking at Shinsuke Zenin, who always seemed to have everything under control.

He had long wanted to beat this guy up under the guise of sparring.

But this guy always refused with excuses like "it's not time yet" or "you're too childish."

If he tried to force the issue, the other party would simply run away and refuse to play with him, which was very frustrating.

Thinking this, Satoru Gojo sighed, shook his head, and walked towards the interior of Jujutsu High. Sooner or later, he would find an opportunity to beat him up.

Back in the classroom, Satoru Gojo saw the trio of freshmen—Panda, Inumaki, and Maki—being beaten up by Rika.

"Rika, stop! They don't mean to hurt me!"

Yuta was still trying to break up the fight, but Rika had already sensed their hostility and was enraged.

"Anyone who wants to hurt Yuta will die!"

The trio's hostility wasn't directed at Yuta, but at Rika. Who wouldn't be wary of such a terrifying presence following them to school?

Slap, slap, slap.

"This ends now. These are your new comrades, Yuta Okkotsu."

Satoru Gojo clapped his hands, stopping Rika's actions and introducing Yuta to the trio.

"So you're a new student. I thought a Curse User had infiltrated the campus."

Panda scratched his head, letting out a sigh of relief.

Inumaki said nothing, while Maki merely glanced at Yuta.

Yuta, on the other hand, was a bit nervous. "H-hello, I'm Yuta Okkotsu. P-please take care of me!"

He wasn't good at communicating with people. Even with a powerful Cursed Spirit like Rika, he was very timid and lacked confidence.

Of course, it was possible Rika was also a factor in this.

"Alright, starting today, you will all study diligently. In a week, I will assign you a mission to exorcise Cursed Spirits."

Hearing this, Maki's eyes lit up, and she tightened her grip on her naginata.

So I came to the right place. By continuously exorcising Cursed Spirits, I'll eventually pass my master's assessment!

Time quickly passed, and a week later.

Satoru Gojo's Cursed Spirit exorcism plan was designed to help Yuta regain his confidence.

Outside a school shrouded by a barrier, Satoru Gojo watched Rika furiously tearing apart a Cursed Spirit and sighed, "She's truly a terrifying entity."

Even he, the strongest Sorcerer of this era, found Rika somewhat troublesome. It was no wonder those old geezers in power wanted Yuta dead so badly.

"Teacher Gojo, we won!"

Yuta emerged from the school, carrying two children on his back. Maki leaned on her weapon's hilt, barely able to stand.

This Cursed Spirit should be around Quasi-Grade 1. If it weren't for this timid guy, I probably couldn't have handled it alone, unless I used Play Cloud, and even then, there'd only be a slim chance.

"I can't believe this guy is actually Special Grade."

Maki hadn't understood why Yuta was Special Grade right from the start.

But now, looking at Rika on the school roof, cruelly tearing apart the Cursed Spirit's body, she understood. This new classmate was a prodigy.
