Japan, Tokyo, Jujutsu High.
A golden sun hung high in the sky, radiating billions of golden rays, bringing light and warmth to the earth and the world.
Lush green trees lined the roadside, with dappled sunlight scattering across the ground through the leaves.
Outside a massive red torii gate stood a tall, white-haired boy dressed in a black trench coat.
The boy's collar was very high, covering his nose and mouth.
"You're here," said Yaga Masamichi, a teacher at Jujutsu High, looking at the boy standing by the road.
"Student Alex Moyan."
Alex Moyan nodded, then followed Yaga Masamichi into the shrine's interior.
As one of only two Jujutsu High schools in Japan, how could an average person imagine that Tokyo's largest private shrine would house a school for education?
To be precise, they didn't teach books, but techniques!
The ability to use superhuman powers by harnessing the power of curses.
"Suguru, a new dessert shop opened over in Yingu recently. Let's go."
At this time, Satoru, who was still a first-year at Jujutsu High, spoke to his neighbor and closest friend, Geto Suguru.
"Sure, we'll go after school," Geto Suguru agreed with a doting look.
The two were inseparable, their relationship incredibly close.
Meanwhile, their other classmate, Ieiri Shoko / Shoko Ieiri, was ignored by them.
It wasn't exactly ignoring; Shoko had clearly stated that she didn't like sweets.
As a dessert lover, Satoru would exclude Shoko from any plans involving sweets.
Just as Satoru and Geto Suguru were discussing where to go after school, Yaga Masamichi walked in.
Standing on the podium, Yaga Masamichi motioned for the three to be quiet and then began his announcement.
"Everyone, today, a new student will be joining us."
Before Yaga Masamichi could finish, Satoru interrupted.
"Sensei, does he like sweets?"
Yaga Masamichi's face darkened. The boy wearing sunglasses before him was from the Gojo Family of the The Big Three Families.
He possessed the Six Eyes, a rarity not seen in centuries; his strength was such that even he, the teacher, was no match.
He often caused trouble and contradicted him in daily life.
But there was no helping it; not only was this kid powerful, he was also the current Young Clan Head of the Gojo Family.
The old fogies of the Gojo Family couldn't wait for Satoru to become the clan head and lead them to prosperity.
Only a few months after enrolling, he was already a Quasi-Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, a height 99.9% of Jujutsu Sorcerers could never reach in their lifetime.
Even some current heads of the The Big Three Families hadn't reached Quasi-Special Grade.
It was no wonder the Gojo Family was so impatient.
In a few years, he would likely be a Special Grade Sorcerer.
A Special Grade Sorcerer isn't just someone who can open a Domain; they are called Special Grade because they can overthrow a nation!
"Shut up, Satoru! Don't interrupt while the teacher is speaking!"
Yaga Masamichi slammed his hands onto the podium with a thunderous crack.
Seeing this, Geto Suguru quickly intervened and told Satoru to quiet down.
Seeing that Satoru was no longer speaking, Yaga Masamichi took a breath to calm himself.
"Alright, let's continue."
Just as Yaga Masamichi was about to call Alex Moyan into the classroom...
Alex Moyan had already taken a step ahead and entered the classroom.
Looking at Alex Moyan as he entered, the first thing Satoru and the others sensed was an incredibly vast and powerful Cursed Energy.
In an instant, dark purple Cursed Energy filled the entire classroom, even dropping the temperature by a few degrees.
"This kid is pretty arrogant!" Satoru thought, his interest piqued as he looked at the white-haired boy.
It was obvious that the dense Cursed Energy that had just enveloped the classroom was intentional.
Alex Moyan walked to the podium and looked down at Satoru and Geto Suguru with a cold expression, his eyes full of contempt and provocation.
"I heard you two are strong. Come at me together, or one by one."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Satoru and Geto Suguru felt a surge of eagerness.
It had been a long time since they had met someone who dared to challenge the two of them.
Facing such an arrogant and powerful guy, they couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson and show him that there's always someone better.
"Interesting." The corners of Geto Suguru's mouth curled up like a crescent moon, and he narrowed his eyes into his signature fake smile.
On the other side, Shoko had a look of schadenfreude as if watching a play, and even started clapping.
"Satoru, Suguru, you guys are being looked down upon."
Shoko, enjoying the chaos, added fuel to the fire.
Satoru simply spread his hands and glanced at Geto Suguru beside him.
"What do you think, Suguru? Since this classmate is so enthusiastic, will you go first or should I?"
Geto Suguru propped his face up with his hand, his narrowed left eye revealing a thin slit as he looked at Satoru and then at Alex Moyan on the podium.
"You go first. I can tell you're very interested in him."
"As your closest friend, I'm quite the selfless person."
Their conversation treated Alex Moyan like a gift, even putting on a show of humility, completely ignoring him.
This was a blatant provocation!
But these words didn't anger Alex Moyan; instead, they infuriated Yaga Masamichi.
Yaga Masamichi roared in anger, "All of you shut up! Do you even respect me as your teacher?!"
But just as Yaga Masamichi finished speaking, Alex Moyan slapped him in the face with his words without mercy.
"Fine, I'll wait for you outside. I hope you can keep me entertained. After all, I can sense that you're quite weak."
As soon as he finished speaking, Alex Moyan's figure had already vanished from the podium, leaving only the swaying classroom curtains.
Seeing such speed, Satoru and Geto Suguru couldn't help but give him a higher evaluation in their minds.
Satoru looked at Geto Suguru with a smile: "Suguru, are you really letting me have him?"
Geto Suguru smiled slightly, his heart already piqued by Alex Moyan's words: "Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly a bit reluctant. How about... I go first?"
The two smiled at each other and prepared to fly out of the window like Alex Moyan.
Yaga Masamichi saw through their intentions.
"You two, stop right there! Go through the front door!"
Satoru and Geto Suguru wilted instantly like deflated eggplants.
"Sensei, you've completely ruined our mood." Satoru showed a hint of faint sadness, looking like a child scolded by a parent for doing something wrong, putting on a pitiful act.
Geto Suguru nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yeah, do you know how much damage this has done to our fragile young hearts?"
Shoko was amused by the two, and her bell-like laughter echoed through the classroom.
Yaga Masamichi was driven crazy by the two—one was the Six Eyes, the other was a genius of Cursed Spirit Manipulation, and now there was another once-in-a-millennium Cursed Speech User prodigy!
Yaga Masamichi could already imagine the trouble these three idiots would cause him in the future.
"Go through the front door!"
Cursed Energy began to spread behind Yaga Masamichi, and the silhouettes of eerie cursed corpses began to emerge.
It seemed as if in the next second, these cursed corpses would pounce like savage beasts toward Satoru and Geto Suguru.
Only then did Satoru and Geto Suguru realize they had truly angered their teacher, and they hurriedly headed for the front door.
They planned to vent all the resentment from being scolded by Yaga Masamichi onto Alex Moyan, who dared to provoke them.
"It's been a long time since I felt like this."
Simultaneously, both recalled their first meeting; back then, neither would back down, and a battle had forged their deep friendship.
