Chapter 98: Such a strong Jujutsu Sorcerer, and he's actually wild!

The terrifying high temperature not only turned all the Cursed Spirits gathered on the school rooftop into ashes but even scorched the ground into a wasteland.

Accompanied by a large amount of thick smoke rising, even the air for hundreds of meters around became scorching hot.

"ROAR——————!"

After doing all this, the Kang Jinlong that had been circling in the air finally flew down and landed beside Itadori and Fushiguro Megumi.

"Thanks for your hard work. Although the previous technique wiped out most of the Cursed Spirits, there should still be some stragglers nearby. I'll have to trouble you and Wei Huo Hu to take care of them."

Jumping down from the dragon's head, Shengzai first reached out to stroke the dragon's horns, then turned his head to give the order.

Upon hearing Shengzai's command, Kang Jinlong nodded in a very human-like manner, then let out a dragon roar before flying off again.

"I am a student of the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer Fushiguro Megumi. Are you from the Kyoto Prefectural Curse Technical College?"

Currently, there were only these two schools for Jujutsu education in Japan, and Shengzai's age clearly looked about the same as his own.

Since Fushiguro Megumi hadn't seen Shengzai at the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, he naturally assumed Shengzai was a student from the Kyoto Prefectural Curse Technical College.

"Curse Technical College, Jujutsu Sorcerer? What are you talking about?

My name is Wenren Shengzai. I'm not from any Curse Technical College you mentioned; I'm a student at Sugisawa High School.

If you don't believe me, you can ask the idiot beside you. From middle school to high school, I've always been at the same school as this guy."

Shengzai naturally knew about the Curse Technical College and Curses, but now he had to pretend to be a novice.

The reason was simple: he couldn't quite explain his shikigami and abilities.

Most Jujutsu Sorcerers in the Jujutsu world had their own masters or guides, especially the Three Great Families, whose family heritage was long-standing.

Before today, Shengzai hadn't had any contact with other Jujutsu Sorcerers. If he knew about the Curse Technical College and Curses without anyone's guidance, it would be too strange.

It wasn't that there were no Jujutsu Sorcerers who awakened their Cursed Energy and techniques on their own, so the role Shengzai wanted to play now was exactly that kind of person.

"You're not a student at a Curse Technical College, and you haven't received systematic training, yet you can summon such shikigami and master such powerful techniques?"

Hearing Shengzai's words, Fushiguro Megumi was completely stunned, especially when Itadori beside him nodded to confirm that Shengzai wasn't lying and that the two of them had indeed been hanging out together since middle school. The black-haired hedgehog-head stood there blankly, not knowing what to say.

Fushiguro Megumi had originally thought Shengzai was a student from the Kyoto Prefectural Curse Technical College, or perhaps a genius from one of those Jujutsu families.

After all, the strength Shengzai had just displayed, combined with his age, meant he wasn't just comparable to monsters like Gojo-sensei and Senior Okkotsu, but was a genius on the level of Todo Aoi.

But as it turned out, according to Itadori's description, this guy Shengzai hadn't received any systematic teaching or training at all.

From middle school to high school, he and Itadori Yuji had spent their days fighting everywhere; among the local delinquents, the two of them were even quite famous.

Fushiguro Megumi didn't think Shengzai was lying to him, because Itadori, Shengzai's best friend, was right there. Besides, facts leave traces; the things Shengzai said could be verified with a little investigation.

It was just that Fushiguro Megumi found it hard to accept that Shengzai, who hadn't received any teaching or training, was already this strong. If he were to undergo systematic teaching and training, with such talent, wouldn't he become the fifth "Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer" in just a few years!

"Shengzai, when did you become so strong?

Fushiguro said before that only Curses can fight Curses. Tell me quickly, how can I become a... um... Jujutsu Sorcerer like you guys? Yes, that's it, what do I have to do to become a Jujutsu Sorcerer?"

Seeing his best friend show off his power just now, it was impossible for Itadori's heart not to be stirred.

Especially when Senior Sasaki and Senior Iguchi were in danger, Itadori felt deeply powerless.

His grandfather had told him before he passed away today to help people in need whenever he could.

But now, let alone helping people in need, he couldn't even protect the seniors who were in danger because of him.

If Shengzai could become a Jujutsu Sorcerer like Fushiguro Megumi, then Itadori believed he should have a chance to do so as well. So, he was asking his friend for tips with an excited face.

"How to become a Jujutsu Sorcerer? If you're talking about that kind of supernatural power, I'm not really sure how I got it myself.

It was just one night when I was attacked by those things... um, the Curses that this classmate mentioned.

And when I was fighting them, I found that no matter how many punches I threw at them, they just wouldn't die.

Finally, after beating up that so-called Curse for a long time, I suddenly felt a new power in my body, and then I beat it to death..."

Shengzai's description was quite simple, but Fushiguro Megumi beside him was sweating profusely after hearing it.

He knew very well that Shengzai's situation was likely a self-awakening of Cursed Energy during contact with a Curse, and he had used this power instinctively to kill the Cursed Spirit.

As for why he was sweating, it was because Shengzai's actions at the time seemed outrageous to him.

When a normal person suddenly sees a supernatural creature like a Cursed Spirit, shouldn't their first instinct be to run away as fast as possible?

But Shengzai's behavior at the time was to go straight up and beat the hell out of it. Is that a normal thought process?

"Well, actually, I didn't expect at first that there were such supernatural creatures in this world.

I encountered it while taking a walk in the park. At first, I thought someone was playing a prank, so I decided to go up and teach them a lesson."

Alright, after hearing the real reason, Fushiguro Megumi was even more speechless.

"So, if I find a Curse and beat it up... oh no, I mean fight it, maybe I can possess the Cursed Energy you guys are talking about?"

Shengzai's experience of awakening Cursed Energy seemed outrageous to Fushiguro Megumi, yet Itadori had an 'I see' expression, and he looked like he couldn't wait to put it into practice.

"Whether you can awaken Cursed Energy depends on talent, and regardless, a normal person fighting a Cursed Spirit is just too dangerous..."

As a Jujutsu Sorcerer, Fushiguro Megumi felt it was necessary to explain the danger of Cursed Spirits to Itadori so he wouldn't easily throw his life away.

However, his earnest advice clearly didn't reach Itadori, who had already started rubbing his hands, preparing to see if there were any stragglers left in the school.
