Gojo Satoru's smile vanished, replaced by a look of surprise.

To test Chu Yang's physical abilities, he had deliberately interrupted the [Stop Power] on his body, but he didn't expect that Chu Yang could actually block his attack.

Gojo Satoru became interested.

After blocking Gojo Satoru's punch, Chu Yang countered with Fishman Karate. He tried to grab the other's wrist, but suddenly couldn't touch him at all.

A tremendous rebound force suddenly appeared, and Chu Yang was caught off guard and bounced away.

He twisted his waist suddenly in mid-air, using his powerful core strength to adjust his body, placed his feet on the ceiling, pushed off forcefully, flipped over again, and landed steadily.

"Wow, excellent physical fitness!" Gojo Satoru exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

Although Chu Yang didn't touch him just now, Gojo Satoru could feel the terrifying power emanating from Chu Yang from the feedback of the [Power of Stopping].

"Your reaction speed is truly outstanding. Among all the humans I've ever met, there's probably only one who can compare to you."

Gojo Satoru clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "That person has been dead for many years. His physical strength was achieved by exchanging zero magical power, but you..."

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone who possesses both extremely powerful magical abilities and a strong physical body."

Gojo Satoru turned to look at Nanami Kento and teased him with a grin, "How come you encounter such a monster even when you work at a regular company?"

Nanami Kento hadn't expected to hear such a comment from Gojo Satoru, and his gaze toward Chu Yang was completely different from before.

That's Gojo Satoru!

The most powerful sorcerer in the world of sorcery!

When he uses strength to describe a person, that person's strength belongs to another dimension to others.

“From our exchange just now, I can confirm that you are human.” Gojou Satoru tilted his head, exuding a nonchalant air, and grinned as he said, “Now I can confidently teach you some common sense.”

Chu Yang nodded and sat down naturally on the old sofa in the living room.

Nanami Kento adjusted his glasses again. "You really are a natural at making friends."

Chu Yang pouted and said, "Senior, don't always look so stingy. It'll be hard for you to raise enough money to go abroad before you turn forty if you keep acting like this."

Nanami Kento's eyebrows twitched suddenly.

Upon seeing this, Gojo Satoru laughed heartily and said, "I was just thinking, Nanami, putting talent aside, your junior is really quite interesting!"

Nanami Kento looked at Gojo Satoru and said indifferently, "From a certain perspective, you two do have something in common in terms of personality, sometimes as disgusting as dog shit."

After saying that, Nanami Kento didn't give Gojo Satoru a chance to refute him. He pushed open the door and walked out of the room, leaving the apartment shortly afterward.

Chu Yang and Gojo Satoru were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Ahem." Gojo Satoru coughed awkwardly a few times, then asked, "How much do you know about jutsu sorcerers?"

Chu Yang shook his head blankly.

"Looks like we need to start from the beginning." Gojo Satoru scratched his head: "You remember that thing that attacked you yesterday, right?"

Chu Yang nodded. "I remember you guys called it a cursed spirit, right?"

Gojo Satoru said, "That's right! Most ordinary people's negative emotions emit curse power, and a large amount of curse power condenses together to become a curse spirit."

"Negative emotions of a specific object will generate a specific cursed spirit."

"Under normal circumstances, ordinary people cannot see the cursed spirits, and physical attacks are ineffective against them; only cursed power is effective against them."

"Whether it's a cursed spirit or cursed power, both are forms of curses. In addition, there are cursed spells, cursed tools, cursed objects, and so on."

"A sorcerer is a profession that deals with curses, removes cursed spirits, or destroys a cursed object that has a huge impact on a region."

Wu Tiao Wu began to explain everything about this world to Chu Yang in detail, his tireless manner truly giving him the air of a people's teacher.

After listening for a while, Chu Yang was almost dozing off. He looked up and asked, "What are the salary and benefits like in this industry?"

Gojo Satoru fell silent. He felt that Chu Yang hadn't taken anything he'd said to heart...

This is the only question he truly cares about.

However, considering that Chu Yang and Nanami came from the same company, Gojo Satoru immediately felt relieved.

"Is this a very sensitive issue?" Seeing that Gojo Satoru remained silent for a long time, Chu Yang chuckled awkwardly.

There was no way around it; Chu Yang had been a corporate slave in this world for too long, and he had developed psychological issues. He didn't want to get involved in any job that didn't offer financial security.

From this perspective, he and Nanami Kento are exactly the same kind of people.

“After a sorcerer is assessed for their level, they will receive a base salary. The base salary of the lowest-level sorcerer is roughly the same as that of an ordinary civil servant.”

"But for each completed mission, the sorcerer will receive several times or even dozens of times the reward."

"Therefore, living sorcerers are generally not short of money."

Chu Yang said with a solemn expression, "In what you just said, it seems that only staying alive was the key point..."

"Bingo!" Gojo Satoru pointed at Chu Yang with both hands and laughed loudly, "Congratulations, you got it right!"

"Of course, you can also choose not to become a sorcerer. Not everyone who awakens sorcery has to become a sorcerer."

Gojo Satoru said in a deep voice, "However, after you awaken your curse power, curse spirits will be attracted to the curse power on your body. No matter where you go, there will be more and more cursed events around you."

"At first you can probably solve it easily, but as time goes by, an unimaginable curse will definitely appear."

Chu Yang said, "To be honest, I didn't hear a single word of refusal in your explanation. You might as well just tell me where I can clock in for work..."

"Before becoming a professional sorcerer, someone with your sorcery power should consider further training at the Tokyo Metropolitan Higher School of Sorcery..."

"Studying, huh? I'm not going!"

"Um...is it just my imagination? You seem to really hate going to school."

"Nonsense, you didn't even take the college entrance exam. Do you know how long it took me—three years of high school and four years of university? If it were you, would you want to go back to school?"

"I understand, but I still suggest..."

"Then I quit. I don't care if the curse comes or not. In the end, even if I die, you sorcerers will still have to clean up my mess."

Chu Yang's resolute attitude prompted Gojo Satoru to change the subject, "Actually, it's not necessary to go to the Spell Arts Academy for further studies. As long as you pass my trial, I will let you intern with Nanami."

Chu Yang frowned and asked, "A trial?"

Gojo Satoru spread his hands and said, "If you can't even agree to this, then there's nothing to talk about. If it weren't for your rare talent, I wouldn't have given you so much room to negotiate."

"Of course, I also admire your personality. You won't find another guy as interesting as you in the High School of Spellcasting."

From Gojo Satoru's tone, Chu Yang realized that this was probably the other party's bottom line, so he nodded in agreement.

He still finds it hard to give up this dangerous but equally rewarding career.

Half an hour later.

Wu Tiao Wu led Chu Yang to an abandoned development zone, where rows of unfinished buildings stood before him.

Even though it was early morning, Chu Yang could feel a bone-chilling cold as he stood there.

"As a working stiff who has been struggling in society for several years, you should understand how much blood and tears of ordinary people are buried behind unfinished buildings like this."

Gojo Satoru looked around, deeply moved. As a sorcerer, he often faced the ugliness and darkness of human nature and witnessed much sorrow.

“Hatred, anger, regret, greed… even though I can’t see them, I can feel the negative emotions that fill this place.”

Chu Yang asked, "Spaces like this are most prone to generating curses, right?"

Gojo Satoru chuckled self-deprecatingly and replied, "That's right, the suffering of ordinary people is the best nourishment for curses."

Chu Yang sighed softly, "What do you need me to do?"

Gojo Satoru explained, "Originally, we planned to have students from the Jujutsu Academy clean up this area, but now the task is yours. If you can complete it successfully, the bonus is yours too."

Chu Yang nodded, said nothing more, did some warm-up exercises, and then walked into the ruins hidden in the city.

Watching his retreating figure, Gojo Satoru felt a sense of anticipation.

Since it's a task intended for students majoring in sorcery, the difficulty level won't be too high.

The level of a curse or spirit is the same as the pyromancer's rating, usually starting from the lowest level four and increasing sequentially.

Level 4, Level 3, Level 2, Level 1, Special Grade.

Before promotion to Level 2 and Level 1, there are also quasi-Level 2 and quasi-Level 1 levels.

While it may seem like there are only five levels, there are actually seven levels for sorcerers.

The unfinished building area has been rated so that no cursed spirits above level four will appear, so it was used by Gojo Satoru to test Chu Yang's combat ability.

Even if Gojo Satoru were here, no matter what level of cursed spirit appeared, it wouldn't threaten Chu Yang's safety.

The curse power in this area was like a hazy fog, which would scatter in all directions when the wind blew. However, because of this, Chu Yang could not use the curse power to pinpoint the location of the curse.

He could only wander around inside at will.

Most of the buildings in front are structurally intact, and can be moved into after a little renovation.

But the further in you go, the more you see broken concrete, exposed steel bars, and collapsed roofs.

An atmosphere of decay and ruin was palpable.

Jingle bells~~~

A section of steel pipe suddenly fell from above Chu Yang's head. He grabbed it, kneaded it in his hand, and forcefully molded it into an irregular sphere.

Then Chu Yang tossed it away like a piece of waste paper.
