Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 Enrollment (3)

Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

This school, along with the other one in Kyoto, is one of only two educational institutions in the Jujutsu World, recognized by the outside world as a venue for spreading a legitimate religion.

Here, the study of Jujutsu knowledge is the main focus, but since the Jujutsu World exists within normal society, Jujutsu Sorcerers cannot be disconnected from it, so they must also study subjects like mathematics and English to a certain extent.

But not much, only about two hours a day.

Currently, inside a classroom at the school, Yaga Masamichi sat in front of the blackboard, holding chalk, tapping and writing on the board while teaching English.

His identity was that of the homeroom teacher; teaching English was not within his scope of business, but merely because the regular English teacher had a temporary emergency, forcing Yaga, the homeroom teacher, to step in.

"Alright! Everyone, please turn your English textbooks to the second page. This sentence isn't difficult; the key is to grasp the main point of the phrase..."

But while he diligently delivered the English lesson with chalk in hand, none of the students below were paying attention.

Geto Suguru had already perfectly mastered the knowledge taught in the first year of regular high school, and he was currently looking down at the textbooks he had bought, preparing for the second year's material.

Gojo Satoru's lips moved as he brazenly yawned a huge breath; originally, he wasn't sleepy, but the moment he heard those English sentences, he instantly couldn't handle it anymore.

His lips moved as he brazenly opened his mouth wide and let out a breath, and upon hearing that yawn, the chalk Yaga Masamichi held snapped with a "Crack!"

As for Chinatsu's state, it was actually similar; although she had prepared herself mentally, the moment she entered this familiar yet strange classroom environment, Chinatsu couldn't help but frown.

Drowsing in class was a bad habit Chinatsu had in her previous life, and this bad habit would escalate to different levels depending on the subject.

And among these subjects, English was undoubtedly the dominant one; these strings of English words were like a curse capable of stimulating the nerves.

No... No... No... Hold on!!!

In the instant before falling asleep, Chinatsu's spirit successfully overcame her drowsiness for a brief moment. She lowered her head, maintained rhythmic breathing, and adjusted her state.

After a small exhale, Chinatsu raised her head again and entered the "Acting Mode" that had previously defeated several of her Tutors.

Geto Suguru and Ieiri Shoko, sitting on either side, clearly sensed Chinatsu's sudden change, and both couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Especially Geto Suguru, who had met Chinatsu months ago and knew her true personality, was now filled with shock.

Her demeanor had completely changed... as if she were a different person... With such skill, history seemed to repeat itself: Chinatsu successfully got through the class time, while Gojo Satoru, who had slept in class, was struck by one of Yaga's "Fists of Love" and instantly questioned his life, still clutching his head after class.

Did Yaga's fist ignore the Limitless Defense?

Not exactly. It was mainly because Jujutsu High prohibits the use of Cursed Techniques in non-special circumstances, and neither Chinatsu nor Gojo Satoru can yet maintain a fully automatic, 24-hour defense.

After class.

Chinatsu instantly dropped the act, exhausted, and slumped onto the desk, letting out a huge sigh.

Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Shoko stood up from their seats and gathered around Chinatsu to chat.

"Shoko! Shoko! Reverse Cursed Technique!!!"

Gojo Satoru pointed a finger pitifully toward the spot on his head where he had taken a punch from Yaga.

Shoko extended her palm with a smile. Under the effect of the Reverse Cursed Technique, the faint signs of a bump on Gojo Satoru's head instantly vanished.

This is the Reverse Cursed Technique... Feeling the Reverse Cursed Technique energy that Shoko used on his head, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but marvel at its power, yet he still couldn't figure out how the Reverse Cursed Technique actually operated.

Shoko, having finished treating Gojo Satoru's head, let out a soft breath, slightly shaking the hand she had extended.

Although the Reverse Cursed Technique is formidable, it consumes a lot of Cursed Energy. Currently, Shoko's Cursed Energy volume and control precision are not considered high.

In the future, she could heal a large group of people by herself, but right now, she can only treat minor injuries, and even that is not particularly easy.

She looked down at Chinatsu, who was still slumped on the desk. The earring Chinatsu wore on her right ear caught her attention.

"Chinatsu, your earring isn't just a normal decoration, is it?" Shoko asked curiously.

Hearing Shoko's question, Chinatsu slowly straightened up. She subconsciously reached up to touch the earring on her right ear before nodding.

"Yes, it's a Cursed Tool."

Cursed Tools are a general term for weapons imbued with Cursed Energy or even a Cursed Technique. They, like Jujutsu Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits, have strict classifications, and the proper use of a Cursed Tool can effectively enhance a Jujutsu Sorcerer's strength.

The earring Chinatsu was wearing on her right ear was actually an item acquired by the Gojo Family's Elder years ago at a Jujutsu World auction.

Originally, Chinatsu had refused, but the Elder insisted relentlessly, and Chinatsu eventually accepted the Cursed Tool and wore it on her right ear.

However, had Shoko not just asked about it, Chinatsu herself would have almost forgotten she was wearing such an item.

As soon as Geto Suguru and Shoko heard that the earring was indeed a Cursed Tool, they both became interested, staring intently at the earring on Chinatsu's ear.

Finding it troublesome, Chinatsu unhooked the earring from her ear and simply placed it on the desk, allowing them to examine it.

"If you feel carefully, you can indeed sense the presence of Cursed Energy in it, but it's quite faint..."

"Since the Cursed Energy is faint, it must have some very powerful Cursed Technique attached to it, right?"

Geto Suguru and Shoko seriously observed the earring until Shoko suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked another question.

"Chinatsu, how expensive is this Cursed Tool?!"

"It wasn't that expensive, I think it was..."

Chinatsu lowered her head, lost in thought. Since the Elder had bought it, she didn't have direct memory of the Cursed Tool's price, but she vaguely recalled the Elder mentioning it once.

After more than ten seconds, Chinatsu, who had been thinking with her arms crossed and head bowed, slowly raised her head and spoke, her tone still containing a hint of uncertainty.

"I can't recall the exact amount, but the unit suffix being [hundred million] should be correct."
