Two months later, on the training ground of Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Two figures moved rapidly, occasionally colliding, stirring up a gust of wind that swept up the surrounding green grass.
The people currently in combat were Freshman Hazome Sosuke and Tokyo Jujutsu High's special teaching consultant Gojo Shino.
Hazome Sosuke calmly analyzed while dodging Gojo Shino's powerful, heavy, and swift attacks.
Gojo Shino truly lived up to his reputation as the current head of the Gojo Family.
Even without using his cursed technique, his fists were fierce, his elbows like heavy hammers, and every joint of his body seemed to be a deadly weapon concealing a killing blow.
His physical prowess was so strong that Hazome Sosuke felt like he wasn't facing a Jujutsu Sorcerer, but rather Fushiguro Toji, who possessed a perfect body due to a Heavenly Restriction.
There were simply no weaknesses.
However, Hazome Sosuke was not surprised.
A man capable of giving birth to Gojo Satoru, the Six Eyes child and the undisputed future ceiling of the Jujutsu World, naturally possessed such formidable strength.
As Hazome Sosuke dodged, he channeled his cursed energy, enveloping every part of his body.
A qualified Jujutsu Sorcerer can enhance their physical strength, speed, and defense by controlling cursed energy.
This is also a crucial aspect for Jujutsu Sorcerers fighting Curse Spirits, aside from their cursed techniques.
Although it had only been a little over two months since his enrollment.
Hazome Sosuke's control and application of cursed energy already matched that of a Jujutsu Sorcerer dedicated to Curse Spirit exorcism.
In the next instant, dense cursed energy enveloped Hazome Sosuke's feet.
And his figure instantly vanished from his original spot.
At the same time, he drew Kyōka Suigetsu from his waist, wrapping blue-black cursed energy around the blade, and with a sharp momentum, slashed towards Gojo Shino.
Hazome Sosuke's sudden attack surprised Gojo Shino for a moment.
But with years of Curse Spirit exorcism and abundant combat experience, he instantly leaned back and shifted his body sideways.
The chilling blade almost grazed his face as he dodged, but the cursed energy condensed like a blade around the sword, leaving a shallow cut on his face.
Feeling the warm blood trickle down his cheek, Gojo Shino was secretly alarmed.
Freshman who had only recently enrolled had mastered cursed energy to such a proficient level that he could even injure him in actual combat.
Although a large part of the reason was his own underestimation.
But being able to precisely seize this opportunity further indicated that Hazome Sosuke possessed extraordinary combat talent!
If he continued to hold back, he would likely suffer a great loss.
Therefore, Gojo Shino declared loudly, "Hazome-kun, I'm getting serious now, please be careful!"
No sooner had he spoken than the cursed energy within Gojo Shino surged forth like a turbulent tide.
He stomped his feet fiercely, his figure like a cannonball fired from a barrel.
His speed was so great that Hazome Sosuke couldn't see him clearly, only managing to bring his blade, also wrapped in cursed energy, horizontally in front of him for defense.
Bang!
Gojo Shino's cursed energy-infused fist slammed violently onto the blade.
Hazome Sosuke's hands went numb from the shock, almost losing his grip on the sword.
He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a dump truck at full speed, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.
And Gojo Shino's earlier warning was clearly not empty words; having landed a hit, he gave Hazome Sosuke no chance to regain his footing.
A blur flashed, and his figure appeared behind Hazome Sosuke.
the same time, a cluster of enchanting Blue Flame bloomed in his palm.
Gojo Shino's innate cursed technique!
Blue Flame!
Hazome Sosuke smelled a hint of danger from that flame.
He immediately said without hesitation, "I surrender!"
As soon as he surrendered, the flame in Gojo Shino's hand and all the cursed energy in his body instantly dissipated with the wind.
Seeing this, Hazome Sosuke quickly stabilized his body, sheathed his sword, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said helplessly, "As expected of the current head of the Gojo Family, I still have a long way to go!"
Gojo Shino laughed heartily, "Haha, Hazome-kun is too modest. To have progressed to such strength so soon after enrolling, I probably won't be your match even before you graduate."
The two exchanged pleasantries.
Meanwhile, Masamichi Yaga, who had been observing from the side, now approached, applauding sincerely, "That was a truly splendid battle. Hazome has made rapid progress. Once he awakens his cursed technique, he will surely become a pillar of the Jujutsu World."
Gojo Shino agreed, "Indeed. I'm quite looking forward to seeing what kind of cursed technique Hazome will awaken."
Regarding their high expectations, Hazome Sosuke humbly said, "You two are truly overpraising me…"
The next moment, Gojo Shino suddenly announced a serious piece of news.
Oh, right, Yaga, Hazome, my son's banquet is in a week. You two must come and attend."
He then pulled out two beautifully crafted invitations from his pocket.
Hazome Sosuke was slightly surprised to hear about Satoru's banquet. He then promised to attend and accepted the invitation.
Yaga also said there was no problem.
After background checks on Hazome Sosuke and two months of teaching, Gojo Shino and Masamichi Yaga had largely let down their guard around him.
Unbeknownst to them, the three of them were subtly forming a Jujutsu High trio.
