Curse Returns, a gamble from the start, I awaken dual spells

Seven days later.

Advanced training ground for sorcery, underground comprehensive training ground.

boom!

In the center of the arena, Rito's punch, imbued with cursed power, slammed into a cursed corpse that was hurtling towards him at high speed.

Along with the powerful output of magical energy, the 'Zero Coffin' spell also takes effect on the target.

"Rito, you're amazing! You've only been here a few days and you're already able to deal with cursed corpses of this level."

After glancing at the fallen, lifeless corpse of the cursed creature, Itachi ran up to him and showered him with praise.

Meanwhile, Fu Hei's attention was drawn to the thin layer of frost on the surface of the cursed corpse.

This wasn't the first time he'd witnessed the effects of the rational person's techniques, but to be able to apply them to this extent in such a short time was an incredible rate of growth.

"Has another monster entered the vocational college?"

Instead of delving into that issue, Rihito asked another question.

"Itadori, I've been here for so many days, why haven't I seen Gojo-sensei yet?"

Itadori nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly, and said, "Gojo-sensei is always like this; every time I want to find him, I can't find him, and I don't know where he goes."

Rito nodded. "When will my entrance exam begin?"

Because Rito was recommended by Gojo Satoru, he handled all of Rito's entrance exams.

The first qualification assessment was passed perfectly a few days ago, but the second practical assessment has been delayed due to Gojo Satoru's absence.

"Oh yeah, you still have an entrance exam? I almost forgot about that." Itari slapped his head, suddenly realizing.

Among these people, apart from Kugizaki, Fushiguro and Itadori both got into the high school through "backdoor" connections.

As a member without any "background," one must naturally go through all the assessments to successfully join the company.

"When will Gojo-sensei be back? This dragging on doesn't seem like a solution..."

Itadori frowned, then suddenly grabbed Rito's arm. "Come on, come on, I'll take you to Principal Nightmoth. Maybe he can arrange something for you!"

drip-

Just then, Rito's phone suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone, looked at the message popping up on the screen, and was immediately overjoyed: "It's Teacher Gojo!"

Itachi quickly leaned closer, while Fukuro, though curious, pretended not to care and turned his head away.

[Riri-kun, did you think I'd forgotten about you? Haha, not at all.]

Come to me now; your practical exam has been arranged.

"It's a practical assessment!" Upon seeing the message on the screen, Rito breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally here. As long as I pass the practical assessment, my plan to join the vocational college will be more than half complete.

"Then go quickly, good luck!" Itadori shouted, watching Rito's departing figure.

Fu Hei watched Hu Zhang walk away, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

In the distance, Rito, who heard Itajō's shout, did not turn around. He simply waved and strode forward.

Before long, Rito appeared in Gojo Satoru's courtyard.

"Rito, you're here!" Gojo Satoru waved and greeted him.

"Gojo-sensei." Rito stepped forward quickly, her tone slightly hurried. "What exactly is the content of my practical assessment?"

"Don't rush me. Before we start the assessment, I need to ask you a question." Gojo Satoru didn't rush to reveal the assessment content.

Rihime felt a chill run down her spine. "Go ahead and say it, Gojo-sensei."

Seemingly satisfied with Rito's attitude, Gojo Satoru calmly said, "Although this assessment is only a test on the surface, I must explain the dangers involved to you."

"Although sorcerers and ordinary people live in the same world, they stand in opposite directions. One side is relatively safe, where they can go to school and come home without worry, play with their classmates, and have nothing to worry about. On the other side..."

Gojo paused, his tone suddenly turning somber:

"The other side lies in the dark side of the world, inhabited by endless, terrifying monsters. These monsters are constantly thinking of leaving that place and rushing towards the other world. And what the sorcerer needs to do is to destroy them!"

Li Ren listened quietly; he already knew this knowledge very well.

Nothing made one feel the malice of this world more than when Junpei died. Even if Gojo Satoru didn't say it, he understood it better than anyone else.

"Gojo-sensei, I know all of this!" Rito said calmly, as if he were talking about what he had for breakfast that morning.

Gojo Satoru didn't speak, but a hint of surprise could be sensed from his silence.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I underestimated Rito-kun. Since Rito-kun knows everything, I won't say anything more."

"Let's begin the assessment!"

After saying that, Gojo Satoru handed a document to Rito.

"The location for this practical assessment is an abandoned mental hospital. Last month, a group of adventure enthusiasts went in to explore, but none of them came out alive."

"According to the investigation, there should be a cursed spirit hidden inside, but because of the recent frequent occurrence of cursed spirit incidents, there has been no opportunity to deal with it, so I'm troubling this matter with you, Rito-kun."

Li Ren took the documents, turned to the first page, and saw an old newspaper glued on top of it.

The edges of the newspaper had a faded, yellowish-brown tinge, and the glue had long since dried, leaving uneven marks on the paper.

In the photo, an abandoned old building from the Showa era is covered with vines and rust, and the broken glass windows look like rows of dark eye sockets, facing the camera.

"Riri-kun, please be careful and I wish you a successful mission!"

Only after Gojo Satoru's figure disappeared into the courtyard did Rito's gaze shift from the documents in his hand.

"A plot twist outside the original story, huh? It seems this assessment might not go so smoothly."

Although the content of this assessment was expected, it still felt somewhat unexpected and heavy.

In the previous battle against the real person, besides the fact that he forcibly activated his domain at the critical moment of life and death, there was another extremely important reason that gave him the advantage.

That was the prophet!

Because of her understanding of the original plot, Rito was very familiar with the real person's techniques, attack methods, and even domains.

Therefore, while they may not be able to handle the situation with complete ease, they have a thorough understanding of it and are not likely to find themselves in a passive position.

But this assessment is different.

Perhaps the cursed spirits lurking in this mental hospital are not as powerful as real people, but their most terrifying aspect is their unpredictability.

The most terrifying enemy is the unknown one.

What Rito needs to do now is to enter this mental hospital and completely exorcise this unknown cursed spirit!

"Thinking too much is useless. If you don't even have confidence in your own strength, how will you become stronger? How will you kill the real person? How will you avenge Shunping?"

In an instant, the fear of the unknown just surfaced, but it was dispelled by Rihito's strong determination.

"I will definitely complete this assessment perfectly!"

With that thought in mind, Rito took a step and walked out of the courtyard.

The assessment begins now!
