I couldn't believe my eyes as I read Satoru Gojo's stats. He was on an entirely different level, his power dwarfing mine by an unimaginable degree. I struggled to maintain my composure, trying not to appear too shocked.
"What do you want with me?" I asked cautiously, wondering why someone of his incredible strength would be interested in me.
"You are very unique, and I would like for you to join Jujutsu High," Gojo replied with enthusiasm.
"Jujutsu what?" I questioned, my confusion evident.
"It's a place that can help you become stronger," he explained cheerfully.
I couldn't help but feel skeptical. "I have a feeling you're not telling me everything."
"Why would I lie to you?" Gojo appeared slightly offended by my suspicion.
I maintained my stoic expression and countered, "I think you're the type of person who might pester me until I say yes."
"How did you know?" Gojo asked, appearing somewhat taken aback.
"Fine, but can I have a month to think it over?" I requested.
After a brief moment of consideration, Gojo agreed, "Alright, that seems fair. But first, let me see your abilities."
A new quest notification appeared:
**[New Quest: Fight Gojo]**
**[Description: You've encountered the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer, and he wants to assess your abilities. Impress him.]**
**[Rewards: New Skill, 5000 EXP, Skill Stone]**
"May I test them on you?" I inquired, not wanting to risk injuring anyone else.
"Please, try," Gojo said with an eager smile.
I retrieved my poisonous dagger from my inventory and activated [Mana Enhancement] and [Ogre Necklace]. With a burst of speed, I dashed toward Gojo, attempting to strike him. However, my blade seemed to meet an invisible barrier, causing me to jump back.
"What was that?" I asked in astonishment.
I continued to use my teleportation skill, dashing and teleporting around Gojo while maintaining [Mana Enhancement]. I moved so swiftly that it should have been challenging for anyone to track me, but Gojo effortlessly danced around my attacks.
Every time I attempted to strike, he dodged effortlessly. It felt like my attacks were never even coming close to connecting. Frustrated, I decided to prepare my [Purification Ball]. My mana was draining rapidly due to [Mana Enhancement], but I didn't care.
Finally, I launched my attack at full power, creating a massive crack in the floor. The explosive force was akin to being hit by a tank shell at point-blank range. It felt like I had broken through Gojo's defenses, but I jumped back.
Gojo seemed unfazed and even excited. "This is so interesting," he remarked.
I couldn't help but express my frustration. "You must have been hurt by that, right? How are you still unharmed?"
"Your attack was rather weak," Gojo replied with a smile.
I muttered in annoyance, but it was clear that Gojo was immensely stronger than me.
"One day, I'll defeat you," I declared, likening him to a smug Kakashi. Gojo, though initially irritated, chuckled at my comment.
"You can try, but beating me is impossible," he retorted.
Satisfied that I had shown him my abilities, I asked for my month's reprieve. Gojo agreed, vanishing before my eyes.
A quest completion notification appeared:

I heaved a heavy sigh as I looked at my level-up. This encounter had made me painfully aware of my own limitations in this world. I had a long way to go. I decided to use the coming month to prepare myself for whatever challenges the life of a Jujutsu Sorcerer might throw at me.
Returning home, I locked the door behind me and devoted myself to intense hand-to-hand combat training. After several hours, I completed my daily regimen.
A short time later, I crushed the mana stone I had found earlier:
**[Skill: Gravity Manipulation has been gained]**
I stared at my status in amazement. Controlling gravity around my body was an incredible ability.
"Time to put in the grind," I told myself as I set a goal to reach at least level 20 by
the end of the month. Realizing that this would require some sacrifices, I decided that skipping a few classes was a necessity.
