The Next day, Gojou came back to pick up Asta and Liebe, he put his hand on both of their shoulders and in an instant the three of them arrived in front of a large gate.

(Liebe's p.o.v.)

Gojou had instantly teleported us in front of a large gate, he walked ahead to push the doors open and me and Asta were in awe at what lied beyond. Pass the gate there was a huge valley, and in there was this massive fortress and farmlands that took up half the valley. The mere sight of it told me that the jujutsu sorcerers are clearly self-sufficient. "Follow me guys, there's someone who wants to meet you two." Gojou said. We walked right behind him on the trail leading to the fortress. Asta asked, "How did you guys manage to build all this in the strong magic region?" I myself was about to ask Gojou that question. "We set up a cursed energy barrier around the entire valley, on the outside you can only see a forest." Gojou answered. "Does it defend against magical beasts?" I asked. "That's the interesting part. Magic has no effect on cursed energy, so no matter how hard or how much they bash at the barrier, magical beasts can't get in." What Gojou said was very interesting,  one could defend against powerful spells, just by coating themselves in cursed energy. "By the way, you said something about 'grades' yesterday." Asta asked Gojou. He replied," Yeah, we use a system to rank how strong a sorcerer, a cursed spirit, a cursed object, or a cursed tool is." I asked him how are they rated, and he said, "I'll explain it like this, there are a total of five grades, we rate them by comparing them to the strength of clover kingdom's magic knights. From weakest to strongest there are:

Grade 4: a junior magic knight would be enough to deal with them.

Grade 3: an intermediate magic knight have no trouble.

Grade 2: a senior magic would barely survive a fight with it.

Grade 1: even a grand magic knight would never win.

Special grade: you might be on equal footing with ten wizard kings together.

" Gojo's explanation gave me a better understanding of how strong cursed spirits and jujutsu sorcerers can be. "Interesting, how high up are you, Gojou?" I asked him. Gojou turned his head toward us and said, "Oh, I'm special grade." He replied so bluntly. Me and Asta were both surprised that Gojou was so high ranked.  By then, we had arrived at the fortress, and Gojou said, "We're about to meet the principal." Asta said, "Principal?" Gojou stopped and we did too, he turned to face us and said, " You guys are entering a whole new world that has knowledge and laws of it's own. If you're planning on living in it, you'll have to be educated on the ways of how this new world operates. For that reason, you two will have to attend the academy for jujutsu sorcerers, there you won't just learn about the jujutsu world, but also receive the training you need to be able to use jujutsu. But first, you both need to meet the head of the academy, the principal." Everything he just said made sense, we need to learn how this unknown world functions, in order to live in it. Asta and I looked at each other knowing what each of us was thinking, we nodded and continued to follow Gojou. We entered a big building.

(Asta's p.o.v.)

We entered the building and saw an old man in sunglasses, making cute dolls. My first thought was, what the hell?. The old man, noticed us and asked, "Are you the boys that Satoru told me about?" I answered," Yes sir, my name's Asta." And Liebe introduced himself as well. The man then introduces himself, "I'm the principal at this academy, Masamichi Yaga." He went on, "Satoru told about everything that's happened to you two, and you both have my sympathies. He also told me about your reasons for wanting to become jujutsu sorcerers. Normally, I would interview you on your reasons for coming here, but after everything Satoru told me, there's no need for that, so instead I'll only say this...... Your both admitted, welcome to jujutsu academy, boys." We both thanked him, and he told Gojou to show us to our rooms and explain the security arrangements as well. But before we left, we asked him about the dolls he was making, and why was he doing that? He explained, "These dolls are cursed corpses, inanimate objects infused with curses. I'll show you."  Principal Yaga raises his hand to the side and one of the dolls stands up growling. Liebe and I were surprised to see that doll come alive.

Skip ahead to Asta and Liebe's dorm room.

Gojou explained everything on our way to our room. We opened the door, "Damn this place is huge!" Liebe said as we walked into our room, there were two beds and everything. "Your classes will begin tomorrow morning. So be sure to get some proper sleep, I'm sure you'll be glad to sleep in a real bed after so long, right?" We both nodded. "By the way Gojou, is there any way to tell what our curse techniques are?" Liebe asked. "You know, that thought slipped my mind." I responded. Gojou said, "That's actually a very good question. You'll both have to activate the technique, but first you'll have to learn to manipulate cursed energy first. That will be the first part of your training tomorrow." After that, Gojou left. Not long after, night came and Liebe and I went to sleep in our beds, looking forward to the start of our jujutsu training.

Sorry if this chapter is bad guys, it was hard trying to think of a good follow up.
