Chapter 82 The Daily Life of a Sorcerer
Since Li Muyang posed no threat and was instead an asset, Gojo Satoru became interested in the troublesome matter Li Muyang had mentioned, and naturally he would investigate in that direction, which was also the result Li Muyang wanted.
Anyway, Li Muyang has a clear conscience; all he wants is for more people on the side of justice to survive! Gojo Satoru was prepared beforehand and wouldn't follow Tōsō's plan, which is the key to changing the original plot and breaking the deadlock!
Wu Tiao Wu certainly wouldn't easily tell others about Li Muyang. Things involving the future and somewhat vague wouldn't be believed by the higher-ups. Li Muyang telling him meant he trusted him. As for being tricked? Wu Tiao Wu was confident in his own abilities!
It's very simple. If Li Muyang truly harbors malicious intent, and Gojo Satoru can't handle him, then probably no one in the entire sorcerer world can deal with Li Muyang! So what's there to worry about? At that point, Li Muyang, along with Ryoumen Sukuna and the currently unknown Ryouso, these three alone would be enough to turn the entire world upside down!
As long as what Li Muyang said is true, even if only a tiny bit is true, if the other side were to switch sides, Gojo Satoru would never know how they could win, no matter how hard he tried!
Sincerity begets sincerity, and Gojo Satoru is willing to do anything for Li Muyang, even if it means sacrificing himself for a grand scheme. Gojo Satoru is willing to accept it!
And so, Li Muyang and Wu Tiao Wu pretended that their secret conversation had never happened and continued their respective student and teacher careers!
Not long after, Gojo Satoru, carrying Tiger Staff, encountered a little trouble on his way to the Jujutsu Academy! An attack that shouldn't have happened there.
The special-grade natural disaster curse spirit mentioned by Li Muyang, Grandpa Louhu, originated from humanity's fear of the earth. His curses are mainly fire attacks, but can also be used as magma!
As we all know, Louhu is quite skilled, but unfortunately he only plays high-level games his whole life!
The appearance of this guy confirmed the information Li Muyang had mentioned. Gojo Satoru then let Louhu go, deliberately allowing him to be rescued, but of course, he still gave the guy a good beating! He was beaten into submission by his master and didn't dare to be arrogant anymore! He obediently went home to listen to Ryosaku's plan.
Before getting beaten up: I'll kill Gojo Satoru!
After getting beaten up: You want me to hold off Gojo Satoru for a minute? You're trying to send me to my death!
At the same time, this incident also gave Gojo Satoru a clearer understanding of the situation, and he trusted Li Muyang's words even more! He then began a new plan.
The next day, Hisahito Itadori joined Satoru Gojo's team as a student, becoming a golden new student!
Joining him was a girl named Nobara Kugizaki, who is the female protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Comrades! A little red has arrived!
This girl is no mere pretty face; her spells are curses infused with her own magical power, and she uses nails to unleash magical power over a certain distance, which can also damage the soul.
Unfortunately, none of the three men in the team were particularly interested in women, and Ding Jie herself wasn't interested in the three men either! None of them were her type!
A teacher with a white hair and an eye patch, a passionate young man, a seemingly aloof and cool chuunibyou guy, and finally this guy who looks like a warm-hearted man is definitely a scumbag!
Li Muyang (′-i_-｀): "Girl, I'm warning you, watch your mouth! What do you mean by 'looks like a warm guy'? I'm 100% a pure warm guy! As for 'scumbag,' that's slander! I'm still a pure yang virgin! The kind that can cultivate Yang Five Thunder!"
Kugizaki Nobara (￢_￢): "I despise her even more! What a waste of that face!"
After a simple assessment, Kugizaki Nobara and Itadori Yuujin officially joined the team. During the assessment, they also rescued a little boy who accidentally ran into an abandoned building while playing and was captured by a cursed spirit.
At that moment, only Sister Ding was facing the cursed spirit that had kidnapped the little boy. The building was deserted and abandoned. Facing the ugly and evil cursed spirit, and the trembling, frightened little boy, plus the beautiful but helpless Sister Rose, this scene was clearly not quite right.
Cough cough, I didn't say anything! I don't understand anything!
At crucial moments, it's always the protagonist who saves the day. Well, here we're referring to the protagonist, Itadori Yuujin. Li Muyang is next door observing the situation with Gojo Satoru, the sixth brother. Fushiguro Megumi wanted to go and help, but the two of them stopped him.
If something really happens, there's Gojo Satoru-sensei! What are you afraid of?
It was obvious that Li Muyang said those words.
Gojo Satoru said: Why not you?
Li Muyang: What is the teacher saying? Shouldn't the most important job be to show off and save the day?
Gojo Satoru: Hahaha~
Go ahead and praise them, and they'll all shut up!
This made Wu Tiao Wu itchy to spar with Li Muyang!
Getting back to the main point, Yuujin Itadori, the protagonist, is currently acting normally. Sensing the commotion in another room, he smashed the wall of the abandoned building with a single punch. Before the cursed spirit could react, he was hit hard and inadvertently released the little boy. Then, Nail seized the opportunity to finish him off with a single blow using a spell.
Chic!
As the sun set, the group took the little boy home. Gojo Satoru then said that he would treat everyone to dinner that night, and that the boy could say whatever he wanted to eat!
Itadori and Kugizaki had another heated discussion about what to eat, and finally turned to the only foreigner, "Hmm, Li Muyang, Old Li! What do you want to eat?"
Li Muyang (；￣д￣): Whatever, as long as it's not Chinese food. If you really want to eat Chinese food, buy the ingredients and I'll make it for you when we get back to school!
These past few days, Li Muyang took some time to try Chinese cuisine in Japan... It was a mixed bag!
In the end, we decided to go to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant.
Since we'd never been before, we decided to give it a try. Only Li Muyang and Sister Ding hadn't eaten this before.
As for Fushiguro Megumi... as long as he doesn't spoil the fun! Even though Gojo Satoru offered to treat him, Megumi still wanted to order takeout.
6!
He really is a man without any romance.
After finishing their meal, the group returned to the school.
After that, it was just the daily life of exorcising cursed spirits. However, Gojo Satoru, the teacher, was deliberately transferred away on a business trip by a group of higher-ups under some pretext. He was usually quite busy, so this situation was considered normal. At least Fushiguro Megumi didn't think there was a problem.
However, before leaving, Gojo Satoru naturally had another private talk with Li Muyang, informing him of the higher-ups' wary attitude towards Itajō, and that after transferring him, they might be assigned difficult tasks to the four of them! He urged them to be careful!
Just like mentioned earlier, although Li Muyang is an international student from China, he should definitely be treated well. However, if he dies during a mission, the higher-ups in the sorcerer world will at most put forward a few scapegoats!
Those who know minor etiquette but lack great righteousness, who are bound by trivialities but lack great virtue, who value minor details but disregard integrity and shame, who fear power but do not cherish virtue, will inevitably become thieves and bandits when strong and subservient when weak.
They're polite on the surface, but underneath... humph.
However, Li Muyang is not afraid of this little trouble!
"Understood, don't worry, I'll take good care of them." Li Muyang replied with a light laugh, though there was a hint of danger in his eyes as he casually teased, "But, teacher, are all the higher-ups in the sorcerer class such a bunch of incompetent fools?"
Gojo Satoru sighed deeply: "Sigh, there's nothing I can do. You might not believe it, but the higher echelons of the sorcerer world are actually controlled by a group of politicians and lawmakers in Japan! Even we top-tier sorcerers don't actually have much real power! These guys don't know anything about sorcery! If I could, I'd kill them all!"
The only reason Gojo Satoru didn't do that was because it wouldn't be very effective! Even if he killed these incompetent mascots, it would just mean replacing them with a new batch! And he himself would be ruined in the process!
A meaningful smile flashed in Li Muyang's eyes: "But if they betray us and die at the hands of the enemy, then things should change, right?"
"The problem in the world of sorcerers is the lack of a target, such as an enemy that can unite sorcerers worldwide! At the same time, this enemy should be able to threaten those incompetent and immoral politicians and members of parliament! Even threaten the entire world! This is the most likely way to break the status quo! No destruction, no construction!"
Upon hearing such words, Gojo Satoru was startled! Old Li, your thinking is too dangerous! You're ready to overturn the table and smash the chessboard at the slightest disagreement!
However, after thinking it over carefully, he nodded thoughtfully: "I have to admit, your method is highly feasible! The world of sorcerers is like a stagnant pool now. Fewer and fewer people are willing to work in this industry because the risks and rewards are completely disproportionate, and there isn't even enough basic security! On the contrary, these high-ranking people are being fattened up!"
To put it bluntly, it's still about the uneven distribution of resources. People like Gojo Satoru, who are the strongest and have a family of sorcerers behind them, are in a better situation. But for the others, even those who are also top-tier sorcerers, their standard of living is mostly just average.
The situation is even worse for other first-level sorcerers; their salaries and compensation are really low! They receive very little compensation for dying in action! And there's not even a proper reason given for their deaths.
Moreover, the job of a sorcerer is too monotonous, consisting only of exorcising cursed spirits. Not only is it dangerous, but the process of the mission cannot be made public, and there is little to gain in terms of fame or fortune. Why would a sorcerer risk their life for a mere passion? As a result, many sorcerers now either live a life of idleness or simply quit their jobs.
After Li Muyang's reminder, Gojo Satoru suddenly realized that the world of sorcerers still had many problems, but they were not entirely unchangeable. It was just that in the past, he had been standing at the strongest perspective and his view was too grand and one-sided! Because in the past, Gojo Satoru only thought about a one-time solution and top-down reform!
In reality, what seems simple from top to bottom is actually fraught with difficulties. On the contrary, with his influence, it wouldn't be difficult for him to start making changes from the grassroots level! And the higher-ups can't completely stop their own actions!
"Teacher, your thoughts are dangerous~" Li Muyang teased with a smile.
Wu Tiao Wu's forehead veins bulged: "Mu Yang, you're really unreasonable! Didn't you start this? I was just following your line of thinking and continuing to calculate!"
"Hahahaha!" x2
The two of them burst into laughter in perfect unison.
