With Satoru Gojo's help, Yuta regained his confidence and began to integrate into life at Jujutsu High.
Under the guidance of the three first-years, Yuta started training and was growing rapidly.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Suguru Geto, relying on the Banjin Cult's fundraising, discovered Rika's existence and began plotting to obtain her.
Inside the Banjin Cult's headquarters, blood stained the ground. Suguru Geto, dressed in loose monk's robes, sat in the main seat, surrounded by his followers.
They were all sorcerers who agreed with Suguru Geto's ideals.
Suguru Geto had just drained a wealthy man of his savings and was now holding Yuta Okkotsu's student ID, contemplating how to trick him.
If he could obtain the Queen of Curses, his plan would progress much faster.
After all, the fact that Yuta was already recognized as a Special Grade sorcerer by the higher-ups solely based on Rika proved that Rika was no ordinary Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
Thinking this, a smile crept onto Suguru Geto's face. "Let's go. We'll go meet this little guy first."
He had already figured out a way.
He would first go and greet him. If the other party was willing to help him, then he wouldn't need to resort to extreme measures.
If he refused to help, then he would have to use force.
Suguru Geto wasted no time. He and a few others summoned a flying cursed spirit and headed towards Jujutsu High.
At the same time, inside Jujutsu High.
A group of people were discussing the possibility of opening a physical combat class for the students of Jujutsu High. The one who proposed this idea was Satoru Gojo.
"I believe sorcerers should develop comprehensively. They should be proficient in both cursed techniques and physical combat to gain an advantage when fighting cursed spirits.
When their cursed energy is depleted, sorcerers can still fight cursed spirits using physical combat, preventing them from being completely defenseless.
Furthermore, every powerful sorcerer's physical combat skills are not bad.
Instead of letting students improve their physical combat skills through fighting cursed spirits, I think it would be better to create a dedicated physical combat course.
If they build a solid foundation at school, they can quickly master these combat techniques during battles.
This is also to enable Jujutsu High to cultivate more outstanding sorcerers. What do you think, Principal Yaga?"
Satoru Gojo laid out his points in one breath, his tone confident, as if he were truly considering the future of Jujutsu High.
Riko Amanai, standing nearby, was trying hard not to laugh.
Yaga, on the other hand, had a headache. He looked at Satoru Gojo, then at Riko who was suppressing a giggle, and finally at Shinsuke Zenin, who had a dark expression on his face. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Why did Satoru Gojo call them here for such a trivial matter? Wasn't it obvious that he couldn't stand seeing some people being too idle?
"Nanami, what do you think?"
Yaga looked at Kento Nanami, who had returned to Jujutsu High as a jujutsu sorcerer, and asked for his opinion.
Compared to his student days, Nanami looked much more energetic and robust now.
His hair was neatly combed, he was wearing a suit, and he sat upright. Among the people present, he was the only one who looked like a successful individual.
He took a slow sip of his tea and looked at Shinsuke Zenin, only to find the latter giving him a look that said, "If you dare agree, I'll deal with you."
Of course, this was Nanami's own perception.
"I think, Principal, you should make the decision. I'm just an ordinary jujutsu sorcerer at Jujutsu High."
Upon hearing this, Yaga's cheek twitched slightly. What a useless statement.
"In that case, Mr. Zenin, what do you think?"
Yaga turned to Shinsuke Zenin, the main party involved. If a physical combat class were to be opened, he would undoubtedly be the sole instructor.
After all, when it came to physical combat, he was an expert in practical application, a master of pure physical combat.
"Principal Yaga's decision is fine. I am a teacher at Jujutsu High, so I will naturally follow the principal's arrangements."
Shinsuke Zenin calmed down and said indifferently.
"Hm?"
Satoru Gojo was taken aback, puzzled. This guy didn't refuse?
Although he would have opened the physical combat class regardless of whether the other party refused or not, the lack of any strong reaction from him made him feel a sense of unease.
Didn't this guy always hate these troublesome matters?
"Ahem, in that case, this physical combat course can indeed be opened.
Mr. Zenin, you will be in charge. But don't worry, I will report this to the higher-ups and increase your salary by... three times the original amount.
What do you say?"
Seeing that Shinsuke Zenin did not directly refuse, Principal Yaga settled the matter.
He knew that although Satoru Gojo had proposed this decision with ulterior motives, it did have some merit.
Sorcerers couldn't just focus on cursed techniques; physical combat was also important.
Since Jujutsu High now had a ready-made physical combat master, why not utilize him?
"I have no objections," Shinsuke Zenin replied.
He was just unhappy with Satoru Gojo, not unwilling to be the physical education teacher.
Maki was at Tokyo Jujutsu High now, and Maki had also gone to Kyoto Jujutsu High. He was bored staying home alone.
Not long after, Megumi would also come to Jujutsu High. He would be staying at Jujutsu High for a long time, so he could look after him.
Furthermore, the plot was about to begin, and he wouldn't miss a single bit of the wool that needed to be fleeced.
"Uncle, you've pulled yourself together! You didn't refuse!"
Amanai was relieved by the change in Shinsuke Zenin.
"Hey! That's not fair, is it? Principal Yaga, you're even giving him a raise? His salary is almost exceeding mine, the strongest teacher!"
Yaga giving Shinsuke Zenin a raise made Satoru Gojo very unhappy. Why should this guy get the same salary as him, a Special Grade sorcerer!?
"This matter is settled."
Yaga didn't listen to Satoru Gojo's nagging.
Although he couldn't defeat Satoru Gojo, he didn't need to give Satoru Gojo face, given that he was once Satoru Gojo's homeroom teacher.
"Hey! Principal Yaga! Are you listening to me? I'm protesting!"
Satoru Gojo was so angry he wanted to slam the table. He wanted that Zenin guy to do more work, not get paid more!
"You childish brat, grow up. Even Nanami is more mature than you."
Shinsuke Zenin looked at the powerless Satoru Gojo raging, a smile appearing on his face.
"What do you mean by that? Fight me one-on-one if you dare!"
"One-on-one, one-on-one! Uncle, hurry up and fight Gojo!" Amanai shouted from the side, looking like he couldn't wait to see the chaos.
"As expected, still a kid. What era is this, still fighting one-on-one?" Shinsuke Zenin said disdainfully.
Nanami, meanwhile, adjusted his tie and continued to drink his tea.
Yaga covered his forehead, looking helpless. These guys, did they have any semblance of being teachers? What would the students think if they saw this?
"Hm?!"
Suddenly, everyone felt an abnormal presence.
A Cursed Spirit had broken into Jujutsu High's barrier.
"He's back!"
Satoru Gojo sensed the familiar presence and his figure flashed, disappearing from the conference room.
"Suguru?"
Amanai and Yaga also reacted and quickly followed.
"Is that Suguru kid here to show off? Counting the time, it should be about time for a big harvest.
Nanami, want to go see your good senior?"
Kento Nanami glanced at his watch and refused, "You guys go ahead. It's after work hours."
"Fine."
Shinsuke Zenin stood up and walked out slowly, thinking to himself, another guy driven crazy by his corporate job.
