Chapter 45

The sound exploded like thunder in the silent night. Rokudo Mukuro's pupils contracted slightly; he hadn't even noticed the others approaching.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people appear outside the window at some point.

The two made a very peculiar entrance. They both stood on a monster that was neither fish nor bird, flying in mid-air, their eyes meeting the monster's.

One of them had white hair and was wearing small round sunglasses late at night; the other had black hair, but it was tied in a bun with a wisp of bangs in front. When the white-haired man saw them looking over, he immediately put his arm around the black-haired man's shoulder and gave them a triumphant "V" sign.

He said with a smug and arrogant expression, "Heroes always make their appearance at the last moment, so I, the handsome one, am here to help you deal with the cursed spirit."

The boy he was holding had a helpless smile on his face. "Alright, Wu, get back to work."

The tennis players were surprised by the way the two men appeared, but they also understood from their conversation that the two men were capable of dealing with the monster in front of them.

Meanwhile, Rokudo Mukuro noticed something: despite riding on the monster, not a single drop of rain fell on them.

Both of them are absolute powerhouses.

Gojo Satoru glanced at the boys in the corridor, then heard his best friend urging him on. Without saying a word, he kicked open the glass door in the corridor and rushed inside.

The tennis players were completely stunned by what they saw. They knew that someone who could ride a monster must be very strong, but they never imagined that this person could kick open the glass in the corridor with one kick.

More importantly, he broke the glass. What should be done about that? Is the responsible party responsible for repairs? If not, are the individuals involved liable for compensation?

Xia Youjie followed closely behind, put away his cursed spirit, and walked to Gojo Satoru's side. "Satoru, is it okay to openly damage public property at school?"

Gojo Satoru blinked and said innocently, "I did it to save people. Besides, I didn't mean to damage it." He had an arrogant look on his face, as if he was right and the thing was just too fragile.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Youjie nodded. "That's true, it's just an inevitable loss in battle."

When he said this, he completely forgot that they were not fighting the cursed spirits at the moment, and that Gojo Satoru had broken the window to enter the third floor because he was too lazy to go up the stairs.

Rokudo Mukuro joined the conversation with a smile, "If you really destroy the school building, the students here will probably thank you."

Upon hearing this, Gojou Satoru stared intently at Rokudo Mukuro, who had spoken, and carefully examined the cursed spirit bound behind him.

He asked lazily, "It seems the cursed spirit has been subdued. But will you really thank me?"

The tennis players who were asked the question looked at each other, unsure of how to answer.

Xia Youjie immediately nodded, "If we really damage the teaching building, the students will most likely be grateful to us. After all, not having to go to school is good news for them."

Gojo Satoru immediately perked up, a wide smile spreading across his face. "Then let's have a fierce battle with the cursed spirits!"

After saying that, he turned to look at the group of tennis players and said in a cheeky tone, "No need to thank us too much, it's just a little perk for you."

Currently a second-year student at a vocational college, and attending school for the first time, Gojo Satoru knows how boring classes can be. He prefers skipping classes with his best friend to go shopping for desserts rather than attending school.

“No way.” Xia Youjie’s sly smile resembled that of a cunning fox. “Wu, if we destroy the school building, they’ll get a holiday, but after we deal with this cursed spirit, we still have to go back to class…”

Before he could finish speaking, Gojo Satoru immediately understood what he meant. While others were enjoying their holidays, he had to be poisoned by the Night Moth Path in the classroom and had to remove the cursed spirits. The stark contrast was infuriating to think about.

Xia Youjie examined the cursed spirit bound by vines, then looked at Rokudo Mukuro beside him and said with certainty, "You controlled this cursed spirit. Are you also a sorcerer?"

His tone was gentle, and his attitude towards Rokudo Mukuro was very friendly.

"What is a sorcerer? And is this monster what you call a cursed spirit?" Rokudo Mukuro was very curious. He had never heard of either a sorcerer or a cursed spirit before.

Xia Youjie thoughtfully explained to them what a cursed spirit was and what a cursed sorcerer was. In his eyes, Rokudo Mukuro was just a cursed sorcerer born as an ordinary person, just like he used to be, so he couldn't help but feel concerned.

“Jay, you’ve made a mistake this time.” Gojo Satoru lowered his small round sunglasses slightly, revealing his sky-blue eyes. “He doesn’t have any cursed power in his body, but the others do have considerable cursed power.”

"Huh?" Xia Youjie looked at Rokudo Mukuro with some surprise, but did not doubt the truth of Gojo Satoru's words at all. He was surprised that Rokudo Mukuro had the ability to control cursed spirits, but was an ordinary person without cursed power.

What surprised him even more was that, according to Satoru, apart from Rokudo Mukuro, the others all had the potential to become sorcerers. The probability of becoming a sorcerer is one in ten thousand; the number of sorcerers in all of Japan is extremely limited. Yet now, six of them appeared before him at once.

"Although I was also shocked, Six Eyes is never wrong. He has a special energy that is different from curse power."

Rokudo Mukuro was intrigued by the cursed spirits they were talking about. "Are these monsters the cursed spirits?" he asked, poking the monster's massive body with his trident.

"I controlled it and prevented it from hurting people, but it seems I can't inflict fatal damage on it."

"Because only sorcerers can remove cursed spirits..."

The tennis players, suppressing their fear, diligently absorbed knowledge beyond their comprehension. The white-haired man said they possessed cursed power, implying they might encounter similar monsters in the future.

While staring at the weapon in Rokudo Mukuro's hand, Gojo Satoru said, "There are all kinds of cursed spirits in this world. They are strong and weak. This one is quite weak. It's just a level two cursed spirit."

Tennis players: The weakness you speak of is something that can easily take our lives.

Noticing his gaze, Rokudo Mukuro's smile remained unchanged, but the trident in his hand vanished in a wisp of green smoke.

When Gojo Satoru saw this scene, his eyes lit up even more.

"Jay, did you see that? It just vanished!"

Xia Youjie also said thoughtfully, "It might have been put into some special space."

Gojo Satoru's eyes sparkled as he confidently declared to Rokudo Mukuro, "One more time!"

Rokudo Mukuro's lips twitched. He was an illusionist, not a magician in a circus. Another round...

If he hadn't sensed that these two were very strong, so strong that he wouldn't have been able to get away unscathed, he would have been easily defeated by them.

These two kids are such troublemakers, they seem even more difficult to deal with than Hibari Kyoya.

When Xia Youjie is reliable, he's still a good kid. "Wu, that's very rude. This..."

"I am Rokudo Mukuro," Rokudo Mukuro introduced himself politely.

“I am Xia Youjie, and he is Wutiao Wu.”

"Jay is my only true friend..."

Ignoring Gojo Satoru's boasting, Xia Youjie continued the previous topic, "...That's Rokudo-kun's unique ability, how can it be displayed so easily? Just like your six eyes and no limits, would you be willing to use them in front of others at will?" He earnestly educated the young master Gojo, who had no common sense about interpersonal communication.

"Of course I'm willing." Gojo nods nonchalantly. "I'm not as stingy as Jie. If anyone wants to see my techniques, just let them come to me."

...And then come in vertically and go out horizontally?

"Then why does our school have cursed spirits?" Kirihara Akaya mustered up his courage and asked them.

“Cursed spirits are formed from people’s negative emotions. The more people there are, the more cursed spirits there will be,” Xia Youjie explained considerately, but then he also had some questions, “Have you never seen cursed spirits before?”

The teenagers shook their heads in a daze.

Even Rokudo Mukuro couldn't help but marvel at how vast and wondrous the world was.

Xia Youjie frowned and shifted his gaze to Wujiao Wu.

Gojo Satoru showed no sign of nervousness. Instead, he leaned closer to Kirihara Akaya and said, "Wow, your hair looks like seaweed."

Even the highly tense Kirihara Akira couldn't help but break down. This guy was really too annoying. If it weren't for the fact that he could deal with the monster... His gaze fell on the broken window, as if he couldn't do anything about it either.

Kirihara Akaya could only vent his anger in a fit of rage.

“Jay, don’t be nervous,” Gojo Satoru said to Xia Youjie through his sunglasses, “This is the result of the effect of time and space.”

Xia Youjie was completely confused. He knew his best friend was good at science, but had he started studying relativity so early?

Seeing Xia Youjie's bewildered expression, Gojo Satoru grinned broadly, his eyes brimming with joy. "So, we've traveled through time!"

"No classes, no more nagging from Moth, we can do whatever we want, Jay, aren't you happy?"

Xia Youjie looked at Gojo Satoru who had come close to him, and he was so happy that his fists clenched. Time travel?! Why didn't you tell me this sooner?

Veins bulged on his forehead as he struggled to suppress the urge to pat the cat's head with his fist. "...Explain in more detail."

"These are two different worlds, and our world and this world are now beginning to merge."

A simple sentence explained everything, and Rokudo Mukuro was stunned. So this was the World Consciousness's purpose in bringing him to this world.

This person is really something else!

"So that's why they have magical power, but couldn't see the spirits before?" Xia Youjie pondered, then immediately realized, "Where is the high school now?"

He left home in a hurry today without bringing any money, thinking he'd be back soon after completing his mission. Now that he's transmigrated, he doesn't want to be sleeping on the streets.

“Of course it’s still in another world.” But Gojo Satoru remained calm and unhurried.

"Hey, I'll help you remove the cursed spirit, and you guys will cover our daily expenses during this period, how about that?" Gojo Satoru stared at the others like a bandit.

Rokudo Mukuro was the first to answer, "Of course, no problem. I live alone at home, so you're all welcome."
