The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 18

Saki gestured for him to go ahead.

Knowing her strength, Gojo didn't hold back at all. He delivered a solid punch right into the palm of her hand.

"This is without cursed energy."

Then, the second punch followed.

"This one has cursed energy."

Saki remained completely still, her delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her expression was very serious as she tried to sense the difference between the two punches.

After a while, she awkwardly spoke up, "I don't feel any difference."

Gojo fell silent for a moment, then decisively decided to try another method.

"Alright, let's do this. I'll output cursed energy remotely. You can feel what it's like to be hit by cursed energy."

"Alright."

Gojo then channeled his cursed energy, sending it out like a tennis ball, hitting the girl right on the forehead. Her hair fluttered from the force.

"How does it feel?" he asked.

Saki hesitated for a moment before honestly answering, "It feels like being hit by a ping pong ball."

Gojo fell silent again, then suddenly stood up and said, "Forget it, I'm just an ordinary teacher. I can't teach a Super Saiyan."

Saki: "..."

"Wait! Wait! Gojo-sensei, don't give up so quickly!" Saki hurried to stop him.

Gojo was just joking. He quickly sat back down and resumed trying different teaching methods.

He didn't want to give up on such a strong potential. If he could teach her to use cursed energy, it might change the entire structure of the jujutsu world.

He wasn't even sure if, once she mastered cursed energy, she could break through his Infinity like Sukuna did, and whether he would even be able to defeat her.

To be honest, he was more afraid of a brute force battle than a technique battle.

But it didn't matter. After being called to the garbage truck to retrieve his fingers, he had investigated the incident at the sushi restaurant involving Saki. He found out that after the incident, she secretly returned to the restaurant to compensate the owner.

A law-abiding girl who loved the stage like that, he didn't worry that she would suddenly go off track.

He was thinking of a certain former close friend of his at this point.

Anyway, Gojo truly wanted to teach her how to use cursed energy, but... he just couldn't do it. No matter how he tried, it wasn't working.

He taught her from 2 PM until evening, and when he looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the setting sun, he felt an unusual sense of defeat.

It seemed that ordinary people really couldn't teach Super Saiyans.

Saki felt a little embarrassed for wasting his entire afternoon without even managing to teach her the basics of refining cursed energy.

"How about I research it on my own for a few days?" she suggested awkwardly.

"Sure, go ahead and try it yourself. I don't have time to come by all the time," Gojo said, pointing to the cursed corpse he brought with him. "That cursed corpse—if you input cursed energy into it, it won't attack people. You can use it to train."

"Okay." Saki nodded obediently and, as a gesture of gratitude, suggested that they go out for a meal before he left.

Gojo didn't refuse.

Saki quickly tidied up and then they left together, heading to a high-end restaurant with good privacy.

During the meal, Saki suddenly remembered Mahito and casually told Gojo about what happened that day.

"You encountered a talking cursed spirit again? Why didn't you tell me?" Gojo said, a little surprised.

With Saki repeatedly encountering cursed spirits with high intelligence, he couldn't help but suspect something was off. These cursed spirits might be targeting Sukuna.

"Huh? Is that really important?" Saki asked, confused.

This was another difference between the two worlds.

In her world, most of the monsters could communicate normally with humans, and many were even humans who had transformed. So, she didn't find it strange that cursed spirits in this world could talk.

"Of course it's important. They might be after Sukuna," Gojo reminded her helplessly.

"Oh." Saki nodded.

"You're just going to say 'oh'? At least act like you care a bit more," Gojo said, feeling a little flustered.

"Well, they can't defeat me... wait, that volcano guy is dangerous," Saki suddenly became serious. "If that guy burns my clothes again, that would be a problem."

Gojo: "..."

Is she really only concerned about that?

Well, at least she's taking it seriously now.

"Next time you encounter a special grade cursed spirit, make sure to notify me immediately," Gojo advised. "Of course, I'm busy and might not have time to get there, so you'll still need to learn how to use cursed energy as quickly as possible."

"By the way, when you learn to use cursed energy, have you ever considered becoming a jujutsu sorcerer?"

"No," Saki immediately refused without hesitation.

"Just a part-time job, then," Gojo suggested as a fallback.

"No," Saki rejected again, without hesitation.

Gojo didn't press her further but felt a little regretful. "With your kind of power, it's a waste not to become a jujutsu sorcerer."

"With my looks, it'd be a bigger waste not to stay an idol," Saki retorted proudly.

Gojo: "..."

He gave up.

Just then, there was a commotion downstairs. Sensing more and more people gathering, Gojo suddenly had a bad feeling.

Saki also noticed something was off as she could hear voices coming from downstairs.

"Is Kiki really here?"

"Definitely, the figure in the photo looks exactly like Kiki."

"Who's taking the back door watch? If you see Kiki, make sure to notify each other."

"What do you wanna do? How do you usually deal with this kinda thing?" Gojo asked curiously, not worried at all about the current situation.

After all, if he wanted to leave, no normal person could stop him.

Saki fell into a suspicious silence, then shook her head, saying it wasn't a big deal—she'd just walk out later.

"If you wanna sneak out, I can teleport you," Gojo said, then realized something. "But even if you run off on your own, normal people probably wouldn't be able to see you with their reaction speed anyway, right?"

"Can't sneak off." Saki shook her head. "If I do, they might wait here really late, and it'll be a pain to explain your identity later."

"Then if you just walk out, you'll still have to explain me to your fans," Gojo reminded her.

"You'll see what's up in a sec. I'm going to the bathroom." Saki said as she got up and left.
