Chapter 8 - chapter 7:Nice to meet you. I am Hazome, Hazome Sosuke

Blue Flame is Gojo Shino's innate technique. When he activates it, he can summon Blue Flames. Aside from its appearance, "Blue Flame" is almost indistinguishable from ordinary flames.

However, when the target is a Curse Spirit, Blue Flame becomes the most lethal flame. It uses the enemy's cursed energy as fuel, causing geometrically multiplied damage far exceeding that of normal flames, until the opponent is reduced to ashes.

In just a moment, this Blue Flame devoured the entire Curse Spirit!

The Curse Spirit's body slowly dissipated under the burning of the Blue Flame. However, when only its head remained, the Curse Spirit's eyes suddenly became clear, just like a human's!

Its mouth also intermittently uttered ambiguous words.

"Ah ah ah ah ah! Explosion! Fire!… Run!… Home!… My dear…"

???!!!

This situation instantly struck Gojo Shino and Masamichi Yaga like lightning, leaving them frozen in place.

This Curse Spirit was a Grade 1 Curse Spirit; Gojo Shino couldn't have misjudged.

When they first engaged, it showed no signs of the intelligence that a Special Grade Cursed Spirit would possess.

Therefore, the only possibility for it to speak human words now was that this Curse Spirit itself was the product of the lingering souls of the victims from that explosion, intertwined with the cursed energy of negative emotions…

Gojo Shino, who had originally wanted to vent his anger by exorcising Curse Spirits, now felt extremely complex emotions.

His face grew increasingly solemn, and he felt a profound emptiness as he and Yaga walked out of the factory, preparing to go home.

However, outside the dissipated curtain, a figure stood in front of the factory.

After binding the system and exorcising the Curse Spirit, Hazome Sosuke noticed a black sphere that appeared out of thin air, enveloping a space not far away.

Having watched jujutsu kaisen, he naturally knew that the black sphere was a necessary preparatory step for a Jujutsu Sorcerer before exorcising a Curse Spirit: deploying a Curtain!

So, he hoped to use this opportunity to meet a Jujutsu Sorcerer and use it as a stepping stone to enroll in Tokyo Jujutsu High.

That's why he came to this abandoned factory and waited quietly.

Evidently, effort pays off, and he waited.

Hazome Sosuke watched the two individuals emerge from the dispersing Curtain.

The one on the left, though young-looking, wore sunglasses and had a distinctive appearance; he was, of course, Masamichi Yaga.

But the handsome man on the right, dressed in traditional black robes and with a heroic demeanor, he had never seen in the original manga.

Gojo Shino and Masamichi Yaga were somewhat puzzled by Hazome Sosuke's appearance.

So, Masamichi Yaga tentatively asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Hazome Sosuke did not respond directly. Instead, he pretended to be completely ignorant of everything and asked, "Excuse me, what was that giant black sphere just now?"

At these words, Masamichi Yaga was stunned: "You can see the Curtain?"

"Curtain? So that black sphere is called a Curtain." Hazome Sosuke nodded thoughtfully.

Masamichi Yaga observed Hazome Sosuke, who was muttering to himself, seemingly contemplating and digesting what he had just said.

Meanwhile, Gojo Shino, sensing a faint flow of cursed energy from the man in front of him, as well as the disgusting residual cursed energy from the Curse Spirit that had just been exorcised, immediately asked, "Did you just exorcise a Curse Spirit? Are you also a Jujutsu Sorcerer?"

"Jujutsu Sorcerer? What's that? Also? So you two are Jujutsu Sorcerers? I see, Jujutsu Sorcerers can create black spheres called Curtains." Hazome Sosuke feigned thinking through everything before appearing enlightened.

"So that ugly, man-eating monster I just encountered is called a Curse Spirit? I did kill it, but I don't know how I managed to defeat it."

"But that was really close; I was almost eaten by it."

Masamichi Yaga and Gojo Shino exchanged glances. From Hazome Sosuke's reaction, it was not difficult to deduce that he was completely clueless about professional terms like Curse Spirit and Curtain.

However, he saw a Curse Spirit and, somehow, exorcised it.

From this, it could be seen that Hazome Sosuke should be a newly awakened Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Of course, the premise of all these inferences was that Hazome Sosuke was not approaching them with some ulterior motive, deliberately feigning ignorance.

Gojo Shino secretly observed Hazome Sosuke. The chaotic cursed energy fluctuations on his body were only present in newly awakened Jujutsu Sorcerers; experienced Jujutsu Sorcerers simply could not continuously feign such a state without revealing flaws. This was beyond doubt.

"It seems you are a newly awakened Jujutsu Sorcerer. As an ordinary person, to encounter a Curse Spirit upon your first awakening and not only survive but also exorcise it, you are quite lucky."

Gojo Shino kindly explained to Hazome Sosuke.

Ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers usually awaken at the age of five or six, but cursed energy awakening is the result of the combined action of physical maturity, cursed energy accumulation, and external triggers.

Evidently, Hazome Sosuke triggered this mechanism at a moment of life-or-death crisis, thus successfully awakening at his current age.

"Let me start by explaining Curse Spirits to you. They are supernatural entities born from concentrated human negative emotions such as fear, hatred, and anger, also known as Curses. Ordinary people cannot see their existence, and they bring harm to humans, so the duty of Jujutsu Sorcerers is to exorcise them."

"You just exorcised a Curse Spirit, so in a sense, you are already considered a Jujutsu Sorcerer. My name is Gojo Shino, and I am also a Jujutsu Sorcerer." Saying this, Gojo Shino pointed to his side: "He is also a Jujutsu Sorcerer named Masamichi Yaga, the current Dean of Education at Tokyo Jujutsu High."

"Jujutsu High is a specialized institution dedicated to training Jujutsu Sorcerers. Unlike regular schools, Jujutsu High only teaches courses related to Jujutsu and the exorcism of Curse Spirits."

Upon hearing this, Hazome Sosuke was stunned for a long while.

Gojo Shino? Someone from the Gojo Family? I haven't heard of him in the original manga. By the way, has Gojo Satoru been born yet?

He couldn't just ask directly.

He then feigned surprise and exclaimed, "There's such a school in Tokyo?"

"Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself yet."

Then, Hazome Sosuke instinctively prepared to blurt out his identity.

But then he remembered that his primary mission, which he had just drawn in the system space, was to impersonate Aizen Sōusuke.

So, he paused for a moment, then spoke in a magnetic, deep voice: "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Hazome, Hazome Sosuke."
