Chapter 5: Entrance Test
Suburbs of Tokyo
Toko Jujutsu High is located in a sparsely populated mountain area.
Yuji had already handled his grandfather's funeral, and Gojo Satoru had personally saved Yuji.
Yuji's pinishment of death penalty was changed from immediate execution to a suspended sentence.
Yuji looked around curiously and said, "Is this really a Jujutsu High School? Why does it look like a deep forest?"
Gojo Satoru replied, "Just get used to it. After all, how can a place for Jujutsu be built in the center of a city?"
Yuji then turned his attention to Kazuma and said, "Kazuma is really amazing. He was able to suppress Sukuna the entire time."
Kazuma patted Yuji on the shoulder.
Back then, Kazuma had almost forgotten that Sukuna was occupying Yuji's body.
If Sukuna hadn't dodged, Yuji would have...
Kazuma glanced at Yuji's previously missing arm.
Luckily, Sukuna had used the Reverse Cursed Technique to help him recover.
Yuji asked in confusion, "By the way, where is Megumi?"
Gojo Satoru held his head in his hands and smiled, "He has internal injuries and is receiving treatment. He should be sleeping soundly now."
Then, he looked at Kazuma and Yuji, giving them the rundown on the school.
After a general talk, the group had arrived in front of a retro courtyard gate.
There were large characters engraved on it: Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.
Gojo Satoru said, "Anyway, you two must behave well later. If the principal is not satisfied, he may refuse your admission to the school."
Hearing this, Yuji held his head and screamed, "I might be rejected? If so, I'll be executed immediately!"
Gojo Satoru said, "Don't be afraid. The principal is a very kind person."
...
Soon, the three of them entered a large courtyard room.
The light inside the house was dim, as ony candles were used on both sides for illumination.
The entire house was filled with dolls with strange expressions.
"Too slow, Satoru!"
"You're eight minutes late."
A voice rang out.
Yuji was taken aback.
He saw a tough old man sitting cross-legged in front of him, his hands busy knitting a doll.
A serious-looking uncle was actually making a cute doll?
Aren't his actions and appearance too inconsistent?
Kazuma looked around calmly.
He knew that these dolls piled everywhere were not ordinary dolls.
Instead, they were cursed corpses made by Yaga Masamichi himself.
These dolls should not be underestimated.
The next step is probably torturing Yuji.
Yaga looked at Kazuma with some surprise, and then continued to speak to Gojo Satoru, "I won't reprimand you, but you have to change your habit of being late."
Gojo Satoru placed his hand on Kazuma's shoulder, looking like he was enjoying a good show.
He said, "Let me introduce him to you. This is our great principal Yaga Masamichi! His hobby is knitting some sexy dolls~"
"If you have any needs in that area, you can contact him privately for customization~"
Gojo Satoru joked in a mean way.
Yaga Masamichi gritted his teeth and said, "Stop it, I am the principal! Don't you have any dignity?"
He then slowly stood up, and walked forward.
He looked deeply at Kazuma, and then set his sights on Yuji.
He said, "You are Sukuna's vessel? You're a hidden bomb."
Yuji bowed quickly and said nervously, "It's... it's me! Sorry to bother you!"
Yaga Masamichi asked, "What are you doing here?"
Yuji said, "Ah... interview?"
Yaga Masamichi aasked again, "I asked you, what is your purpose in coming to Tokyo Jujutsu High?"
Yuji looked confused, then answered truthfully from his heart.
Gojo Satoru shook his head helplessly.
Hr spread his hands toward Kazuma, and complained, "Hey! It starts again."
Kazuma was currently looking around for a doll. He finally locked hus gaze onto a pink doll with twin ponytails.
Kamui!
The space twisted, and the doll was silently sucked into the Kamui dimension.
Since he was bored now, he might as well find a doll to hug when he sleeps at night.
"Ahem..."
Gojo Satoru pointed somewhere and whispered in his ear, "I want the one with a tuft of hair on the forehead."
Looking at the direction of Gojo Satoru's finger, Kazuma was stunned.
Why did this hairstyle look so similar to Geto Suguru's?
Kazuma sucked the doll into the Kamui dimension, fulfilling Gojo Satoru's request.
Bang!
Yuji was knocked away by the doll.
Yaga tortured Yuji while preaching some great truths.
These words might be long-winded to others, but they were absolutely meaningful to Yuji.
It was at this moment that Yuji realized his inner self.
His expression changed for a moment, then he said loudly with a firm look in his eyes, "Only I can swallow Sukuna's finger!"
"Even if I can avoid the death penalty and escape this mission, when I go back to eat, take a shower, or something else, someone may die tragically because of Sukuna and cursed spirits at any time."
"How can I be at peace?"
"I don't want that!"
Yaga Masamichi stopped and said, "Very good, you passed."
Kazuma couldn't help but sigh.
What a responsible and kind person.
But he is not as noble as Yuji.
He just wants to become stronger and protect the people he cares about.
What does the life and death of others have to do with him?
"It's your turn, freshman!"
"Gojo Satoru must have seen something special to bring you here, right? Let me see it for myself."
Yaga Masamichi turned his gaze toward Kazuma.
"Wait!"
Gojo Satoru quickly ran up and said, "I advise you not to fight him. You will regret it."
Yaga Masamichi raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think I can't even beat a freshman?"
Although he, Yaga Masamichi, is not a monster like Gojo Satoru, he is still the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Panda is his proudest achievement!
With Panda, he could even barely squeeze into the ranks of top grade 1 sorcerers.
Even without Panda, he could control hundreds of cursed corpses at the same time.
He is a certified Grade 1 sorcerer!
Gojo Satoru was telling him that he couldn't handle a new sorcerer?
"Hey~ I've already warned you."
After trying in vain, Gojo Satoru flashed in front of Kazuma and pointed at his eyes.
He whispered, "Don't be too harsh."
Kazuma nodded.
He certainly wouldn't use Kamui to attack Yaga Masamichi.
Although this principal is a bit old-fashioned and strict, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him as a person, and he even deserves admiration.
The only thing Kazuma wanted to complain about was that he was too righteous, and his death was a bit... depressing.
Yaga Masamichi's seriously said, "So, why did you come to Tokyo Jujutsu High?"
For what?
Of course, it's to poach people.
Not only the ones in Tokyo, but also those in Kyoto cannot be spared.
But Kazuma can't really say that.
So, he looked at Yaga Masamichi and asked, "Didn't Gojo-sensei say that food and lodging would be provided?"
As soon as these words came out, the nearby people were stunned at the same time.
Gojo Satoru gave Kazuma a crazy look.
'Hey, hey, hey! Can you not be so blunt? I'm in a difficult situation!'
Yuji's mouth was so wide open that it seemed like an entire apple could fit in it.
As expected of Kazuma!
'He actually dared to say that. If it were me, I would probably be severely beaten.'
But if it's Kazuma, any answer would be fine, right?
After all, he is very strong and cannot be viewed from the perspective of a freshman.
He wondered who was stronger, Kazuma or the principal?
