If only, if only Gojo Chingetsu could enroll at Jujutsu High. Masamichi Yaga felt some regret, and some remorse.
If he had not been worried that he might lose to Gojo Chingetsu and embarrass himself in front of his students, he would have dragged Gojo Chingetsu back to Jujutsu High, even if he had to tie him up.
Chapter 46: The mist surrounding Chingetsu
"Tell me, are all you Jujutsu High students as idle as you are?"
Chingetsu looked helplessly at Satoru Gojo, who sat before him with his legs crossed, endlessly stuffing strawberry cake into his mouth. "I'm different from them. I'm a genius!"
Satoru Gojo adjusted the sunglasses on his nose. "Geniuses get a few privileges."
"So your privilege is eating and drinking at my bar for free?" Chingetsu wore his exclusive deadpan expression.jpg.
"Oh, come on, don't put it like that. It's not like I come every day." "Heh."
Chingetsu rolled his eyes.
He turned and began tidying the liquor shelves.
Jujutsu sorcerers had stronger constitutions than ordinary people. So.
Even though Nanami had offered to request a discharge and return to work at the bar, Chingetsu had refused, telling him to rest and recover properly. Inside the spacious bar.
Chingetsu was currently a one-man operation.
"Looks like I need to recruit some quality workers."
"With just Nanami, keeping the bar running is still a bit of a stretch."
If Kento Nanami had known what Gojo Chingetsu was thinking at that moment, he would surely have been moved to tears by this wicked capitalist.
"Hey, Chingetsu, make me a coffee." Bang!
A cup of black coffee was roughly set down before Satoru Gojo. Chingetsu turned back to the bar's chores.
Satoru Gojo picked it up and took a sip. "Pfft!"
"Bitter, so bitter!"
Satoru Gojo spat it out and looked at Chingetsu resentfully. "You did that on purpose, didn't you!"
"Who knows?"
Chingetsu did not deny it, a gloating smile curling his lips. "Well? Not everyone gets to drink my freshly ground coffee." "So you're saying I should feel honored?"
Satoru Gojo kept adding large amounts of sugar cubes to his coffee as he stirred. "Chingetsu, were you the one who exorcised that special grade cursed spirit at the Supermarket today?"
Satoru Gojo brought the heavily sweetened coffee to his lips and took a sip, asking with an air of indifference. "Yeah."
Chingetsu did not deny it.
As Masamichi Yaga's student, Satoru Gojo knew about this, which did not surprise him at all.
"What did that cursed spirit look like? Was it ferocious, with nine tails on its back, the kind that whimpers when you punch it?"
"That's why I told you not to read so much Shonen Jump." Chingetsu leisurely set out a row of teacups.
Tea slowly flowed from the pot into the cups. Its delicate fragrance instantly filled the space.
Dark green tea leaves slowly floated to the surface, then gradually sank. The leaves in the cups freely stretched their languid bodies. The poetic fragrance of tea complemented the bar's dim yellow glow.
Chingetsu lifted his tea and sipped it, an expression of enjoyment appearing on his face. It was not just alcoholic drinks.
When he had nothing to do.
Chingetsu also honed his tea-making skills.
This was his way of life.
A dull life sometimes needed a little hobby to liven it up. Fighting and killing all the time.
Would turn a person into an extremist madman sooner or later.
"Chingetsu, Jujutsu High's recruitment starts tomorrow."
"Has Nanami told you that he wants to join Jujutsu High?" After hesitating for a long while.
Satoru Gojo finally recounted his conversation with Kento Nanami. Kento Nanami was nominally an employee at Chingetsu's bar.
But after spending so much time together.
Neither Satoru Gojo nor Chingetsu treated Kento Nanami as an outsider anymore. Otherwise, the two of them would not have made a special trip to the hospital to look after him. Therefore, Satoru Gojo felt.
On this matter.
He needed to ask Chingetsu's opinion.
After all, Satoru Gojo could tell that Chingetsu had always harbored a faint resistance toward Jujutsu High. But to Satoru Gojo's surprise, Chingetsu remained calm throughout.
He did not fly into a rage.
"Chingetsu, I thought you'd be really angry." "Angry? Why would I be angry?"
"Haven't you always hated Jujutsu High?" "Then you really underestimate my generosity." Chingetsu gently blew aside the tea leaves at the rim of his cup.
"I won't force my personal wishes on others. If I hate something, that only represents me." "If I really did that, how would I be any different from those higher-ups in the clan?"
Satoru Gojo's eyelids lowered slightly. He realized.
He seemed never to have truly understood this close friend of his.
Chingetsu was like a great cocoon shrouded in layer upon layer of mist. When he finally managed to pass through the mist.
And thought he could see his true nature, another layer of mist blocked his path.
"Sometimes, I really don't understand you. But it doesn't matter." Satoru Gojo chuckled, cursed energy flowing and gradually enveloping his entire body. "Don't worry. Nanami won't get bullied at Jujutsu High."
The coffee on the counter still gave off faint wisps of steam, but Satoru Gojo had already vanished. "That guy..."
Chingetsu's gaze sharpened slightly.
"Looks like recruiting new employees needs to move up the schedule." "Let me think. Seems I still need an old man to watch the door."
Chingetsu lightly tapped his fingers against the table. He already had someone in mind.
Chapter 47: The handsome Satoru Gojo appears
Inside the hospital.
Kento Nanami was gazing absently at the white ceiling. Creak.
Someone pushed open the door to his room.
Satoru Gojo appeared outside.
"Ohayo, Nanami! The handsome Satoru Gojo has arrived." Satoru Gojo greeted Kento Nanami as he walked toward him.
Dark lines fell across Kento Nanami's forehead, and he ignored the somewhat eccentric Satoru Gojo. "Tch, just like your boss. So aloof you're boring."
Satoru Gojo casually found a chair and sat down, crossing his legs with practiced ease.
"Nanami, I brought good news and bad news this time. Which do you want first?" "The good news."
"Ah, the bad news is, one of my favorite shops near the hospital closed down. I might never get to eat such delicious buttered potatoes again."
Kento Nanami wore an expression of accustomed indifference.
If Satoru Gojo could be serious, he would not be Satoru Gojo. "The good news is, Jujutsu High's recruitment is about to start." "When?"
"Tomorrow."
"All right. I'll be there on time tomorrow."
"Need me to give you some inside information beforehand?" "No need."
Curses existed everywhere.
Wherever there were people, there would be cursed spirits. These things called cursed spirits.
Were curses given form, born from the gathering and manifestation of humanity's negative emotions. They were products of the mind alone.
It was impossible to completely eradicate cursed spirits.
As long as humans existed, negative emotions would arise, and cursed spirits would never die out. Just like weeds.
Wildfires could not burn them all away; the spring breeze brought them back to life. So.
Jujutsu High's recruitment had always used performance in actual combat against cursed spirits as the standard for judging whether someone qualified to join Jujutsu High.
"Everyone, ohayo!" "Look here, look here!"
Satoru Gojo waved both hands and stood before an abandoned apartment building. In front of him was a group of youths.
The abandoned apartment building behind Satoru Gojo was the combat site Jujutsu High had chosen for recruitment. "Ahem."
Satoru Gojo held a hand to his mouth and cleared his throat.
"Everyone, take a look. This abandoned apartment building behind me is the examination site the school selected for you." "The rules are simple. Reach the rooftop within the time limit, and you pass." "Of course, the test isn't that simple. There will be plenty of surprises waiting inside for you."
A mischievous smile appeared on Satoru Gojo's face, and he deliberately emphasized the word "surprises." "Also, if you call for help during the test, you'll be eliminated."
With an ambiguous smile, Satoru Gojo looked at the youths before him, whose expressions varied. Some of them came from small jujutsu sorcerer families.
