Looking at the lines of text that flashed across his vision, Hazome Sosuke was ecstatic. Clearly, he had played his part correctly!

"Of course, you are also a Jujutsu Sorcerer now. If you are willing, you can also enter to Jujutsu High to study." Gojo Shino had a smile on his face.

Hazome Sosuke looked surprised: "Ah? Really?"

"Of course! Right, Yaga?" Gojo Shino said.

Masamichi Yaga, suddenly cued, looked at Gojo Shino with some confusion.

Although Shino was usually straightforward and uninhibited, Hazome Sosuke's sudden appearance clearly had many suspicious aspects. How could Shino, who was also very meticulous, have no vigilance at all?

Despite his confusion, Yaga followed Gojo Shino's lead and said, "That's right. As long as they pass the review, talented Jujutsu Sorcerers can enroll in jujutsu high."

After receiving the answer, Hazome Sosuke did not immediately show surprise. Instead, he asked a question that completely caught Gojo Shino and his companion off guard: "After graduating from Jujutsu high and becoming a Jujutsu Sorcerer, is the salary... high?"

"...?"

Gojo Shino and Yaga were dumbfounded by the question.

Yaga's mouth twitched: "Exorcising Curse Spirits will earn you corresponding bounties. The higher the grade of the Curse Spirit, the larger the amount, but... the corresponding danger will also increase."

Upon hearing this, Hazome Sosuke couldn't help but inwardly complain.

the danger only going to increase? Didn't most of them die in the later parts of the manga? Those who didn't die were all old, weak, and disabled. Some lost arms, some were burned... Is there a single intact person left?!

Hazome Sosuke's silence, in Masamichi Yaga's eyes, became the other party's concern about the high-risk profession of a Jujutsu Sorcerer. So he said, "You don't have to rush to decide. Let's exchange contact information. Once the review is approved, I will contact you, and you can make your decision then."

"Oh, and for reference, this Gojo Shino next to me is the current head of the Gojo Family, one of the three great families of the Jujutsu World. His son, Gojo Satoru, the child of the Six Eyes, who was born not long ago, currently has a bounty of 100 million yen!"

As Gojo Shino's friend, Masamichi Yaga said this to test whether Hazome Sosuke was deliberately approaching them to find an opportunity to kill Gojo Satoru and claim the dark market bounty.

"Gojo Satoru has been born!"

Hazome Sosuke was shocked inwardly! He hadn't expected to meet Gojo Satoru's father so soon after transmigrating.

Fortunately, he had prepared himself mentally, so he didn't reveal any flaws as Yaga intended. Moreover, according to "Tang's Acting Principle": "Don't give the initiative to the other party; don't be forced to follow their rhythm. The show is seized!"

Hazome Sosuke feigned surprise: "One hundred million? Oh my, what an astonishing amount."

"Child of the Six Eyes? I see, having Six Eyes, a value of one hundred million seems reasonable." Hazome Sosuke rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

Masamichi Yaga: ...

Gojo Shino: ...

Three crows, trailing a string of ellipses, slowly drifted over their heads, and the atmosphere fell into a long silence.

After exchanging contact information, the three went their separate ways.

...

One hour later,

Back at the Gojo Family estate, Gojo Shino headed straight for his room.

Inside the spacious master bedroom of the traditional building, Gojo Satoru was sleeping soundly, while behind the four curtained doors, four powerful elders of the Gojo Family were strictly guarding him.

"Elders, you've worked hard." Gojo Shino thanked them.

"Master, not at all. Satoru is the child of the Six Eyes, a gift from heaven to our Gojo Family. It is our honor to guard him; there is no hardship to speak of."

Gojo Shino bowed: "I appreciate your efforts."

After speaking, Gojo Shino exited the bedroom and went to the study.

On the desk in the study, there was a laptop and a stack of paper documents.

Gojo Shino sat down and used the mouse to open a video in a folder.

The content was surveillance footage of Hazome Sosuke encountering and exorcising a Curse Spirit that night, and the accompanying documents were various records of Hazome Sosuke from childhood to the present.

The records were detailed, including his family members, and even how he confessed to a neighbor girl at age five and was rejected.

He, Gojo Shino, did not become the head of the Gojo Family by being a pushover. Hazome Sosuke's appearance had many suspicious points.

So, after parting ways with Yaga and Hazome Sosuke in front of the factory, he immediately called the family members responsible for intelligence gathering and retrieved all of Hazome Sosuke's records.

However, Gojo Shino held Hazome Sosuke's file, flipping through it again and again, and watched the surveillance video countless times.

He couldn't find a single flaw.

The other party was from an ordinary family, friendly, humble, and polite. All the teachers' comments from his childhood were positive...

After graduating from university in Tokyo, he became a typical office worker, no wonder he was more concerned about a Jujutsu Sorcerer's salary earlier.

At the same time, Masamichi Yaga, back in his Jujutsu Hight dorm, also carefully reviewed Hazome Sosuke's file...

After a long time, he came to the same conclusion as Gojo Shino.

Facing a Curse Spirit, awakening cursed energy in a crisis, then imbuing that cursed energy into his fist, punching it directly into the Curse Spirit's mouth, and piercing its head to complete the exorcism...

Logical and without abnormality.
