NOVEL NEXT Chapter 36: RCT
Judging from the battle with the special-grade curse spirit Rika just now, Ryuji definitely has the ability to become a special-grade sorcerer.
"Forget it!" Ryuji thought about it and declined.
It's not a bad idea. Joining Jujutsu High School means he could meet more sorcerers and trigger more opportunities. But at the same time, it also means he would need to be under the management of Jujutsu High.
Ryuji was very aware that the current world of sorcery was quite corrupt.
In the words of Gojo, it's a group of rotten oranges obsessed with power struggles.
By then, it would be difficult for him to even swallow curse spirits at will, as he'd have to accept their control.
"In comparison, I prefer the free and easy life I have now!"
However, Ryuji thought of something and added, "Of course, if there are curse spirits that are difficult to deal with, I don't mind lending a hand!"
Although he refused to join Jujutsu High, he could still use their information. Knowing where the powerful curse spirits were would make it easier for him to "deal" with them.
"Is that so? Then let's exchange contact information!"
Seeing Ryuji's decision, Gojo didn't push further. Everyone has their own goals. As long as Ryuji didn't turn into a curse user who harmed humans at will, Gojo wouldn't interfere.
After exchanging contact information, Gojo turned to Yuta Okkotsu on the other side.
"How about you?"
"Me?"
At this time, Rika had already returned to Yuta's body.
Yuta was a little confused by the question. He probably didn't expect the situation to concern him as well.
"That! I…"
He didn't even know what Jujutsu High was like. Would it be too rash to say he wanted to join?
However, when it came to Yuta, Gojo wasn't as patient as he had been with Ryuji.
"You just killed three people, so you don't get the luxury of saying no!"
"Ugh!"
Yuta fell silent. Even though it had been Rika who had done it, Yuta still felt the guilt was on him.
"Okay," he finally agreed.
He had secured a genius.
Gojo grinned and turned back to Ryuji.
"Well, see you next time!"
With that, he grabbed Yuta by the collar and disappeared.
"Wait! I…"
Yuta wanted to say something, but it was too late. He was whisked away in the next second.
"What a convenient ability!" Ryuji had to admit that Gojo's ability was quite handy and almost impossible to counter.
Today's gains were considerable. Not only did he get a golden entry from Yukino, but he also received one from Gojo Satoru!
It had been a great harvest.
Looking back, Ryuji saw Yukino still standing there, looking dazed.
Ryuji walked over and said casually, "What, feeling insignificant?"
These female protagonists in anime always had a bit of pride. If it were an ordinary world, it might not be such a big deal. But in a world full of curses, oddities, and urban legends, pride was not a plus.
Moreover, as a regular person, she had no reason to be prideful at all.
"Yeah."
Yukino didn't deny it. As she gradually came back to her senses, she looked at Ryuji, feeling as though they were from completely different worlds.
She had also noticed how Gojo Satoru had completely ignored her earlier. In the end, no matter how amazing she was, she was just an ordinary person. In front of people with special abilities, she was far too insignificant.
"Is that person really strong?"
As for the power structure in the world of curses, Yukino didn't have a clear understanding.
"Very strong! There are only three special-grade sorcerers in the current world of sorcery, and he's one of them, the strongest, in fact. But soon, there will be a fourth."
Ryuji was referring to Yuta, but Yukino thought he was talking about Ryuji himself.
After all, Gojo had just said that Ryuji had the strength of a special-grade sorcerer.
"Well, there's nothing left to do here. I'm going to head out."
With that, Ryuji waved his hand and left.
As for the spiritual power he had left on Yukino, it would allow her to see cursed spirits. But it would dissipate soon, so there was no need to worry.
"I…"
Seeing Ryuji say he was leaving, Yukino wanted to say something, but by the time she reacted, he had almost disappeared from sight.
There was no helping it. Yukino stood there for a while, stunned, and eventually left. After all, they were still at the same school, and there would be opportunities to meet again.
Now that he was free, Ryuji could finally check out the two golden entries he had just triggered.
First, from Yukino.
"Golden Entry: Flower of the High Mountain!"
"???"
Ryuji was momentarily confused. What the hell was this?
He immediately read the system's description.
"Flower of the High Mountain: Possesses a cool and pure temperament, much like a flower growing high in the mountains, giving off the impression that it can only be admired from afar and must not be desecrated!"
"..."
After a brief silence, Ryuji made a decisive choice.
"Decompose!"
What was the point of keeping such a useless entry? Decomposing it was the best choice.
With the decomposition of the golden entry, his points increased by 10,000.
"As expected, most entries from these everyday heroines have nothing to do with combat!" Of course, Megumi's was a pure accident. Saint Megumi was just special like that.
Next up was the talent entry from Gojo Satoru.
"Golden Entry: Reverse Cursed Technique!"
"Is it this?"
When Ryuji saw the Reverse Cursed Technique, he was a little surprised, but it made sense. Gojo Satoru had many abilities: Six Eyes, Limitless, Reverse Cursed Technique, and even Black Flash in physical combat.
Among them, the Reverse Cursed Technique was quite special.
Cursed energy was typically negative energy, but the Reverse Cursed Technique could convert it into positive energy.
The Positive energy could not only heal oneself but also heal others.
