The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 2

Title: Memories of the Past

It turned out that it wasn’t because she was underachieving, but what her mother hoped for wasn’t just her outstanding achievements. Rather, her mother hoped that her achievements would attract others for marriage.

Anger and disappointment intertwined in her heart. Asuna couldn’t bear it any longer and rushed out the door. Running down the street, tears flowed like a broken dam, streaming down her face.

When her emotions calmed slightly and her awareness gradually returned, she was shocked to realize that she was in an entirely unfamiliar place and didn’t know where she was.

The deserted, deep alley around her made Asuna feel scared, so she hurried towards the alley entrance.

However, even after running with all her might for a long time, there was still no exit in sight. At that moment, she became increasingly frightened and anxious, and she couldn’t help but shout loudly:

“Is anyone there? Can anyone help me? I’m lost. Can you get me out of here?”

Fear surged into her heart like a tide, flooding Asuna’s mind and leaving her in deep helplessness.

Her cries echoed back and forth in this silent alley, as if they would never end... As the lingering sound remained, the only answer was the sound of the cold wind.

In an instant, a burst of deep roars and monstrous howls suddenly reached her ears. Immediately after that, the previously peaceful alley in front of her began to undergo a strange change.

Streams of black gas flowed out of the walls, quickly gathering and condensing, eventually forming a terrifying and ugly giant.

The monster’s eyes were as big as human heads, its mouth wide enough to swallow someone whole, filled with jagged sharp teeth, and it stood over three meters tall.

Facing such a terrifying scene, Asuna was horrified and unconsciously backed up. She didn’t stop until she felt her back against the wall, with no way to retreat.

Looking back, despair suddenly surged in her heart. There was no way out now!

At this moment, Asuna’s heart was filled with endless regret and self-blame. She regretted rushing out of the house so impulsively.

Seeing the fierce-looking monster rushing towards her with its mouth wide open, she collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had been drained. When she tightly closed her eyes and braced herself for the impending disaster, she didn’t feel the expected pain for a long time.

As she wondered, a slightly annoyed voice came from her ear.

“Haiz, how annoying. Are there too many disgusting things recently? Sure enough, I should ask two students to come out and do some work for me.”

The other party’s voice clearly sounded very annoyed, but for some reason, Asuna felt comforted.

She slowly and gently opened her beautiful, enchanting eyes.

The first person she saw was a man wearing a dark school uniform. He had short ear-length hair that shone with a silver light and wore mysterious dark glasses on his face.

He had one hand in his pocket and extended the five fingers of his other hand in a very cool posture, facing the terrifying, frightening monster.

Asuna could only hear a low, magnetic voice coming from the other party’s mouth.

“[Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue]”

Immediately after that, something happened that shocked her.

The extremely ugly and fierce monster suddenly let out a piercing scream. It only lasted less than two seconds and completely disappeared as if it had evaporated from this world!

What happened before her eyes was so extraordinary that Asuna couldn’t help but feel as if she were in a dream.

The monster that had forced her into a desperate situation in one second, making people feel hopeless and terrified, was easily annihilated by the boy of her age with one hand in the next moment!

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, her heart filled with turmoil, which she couldn’t calm down for a long time. The scene was so shocking that time seemed to freeze.

Even though all this happened in just a few seconds, to her, it was the most thrilling scene in the past ten years.

After Satoru faced the Cursed Spirit, he waved his hand casually, then turned his attention to the girl sitting on the ground.

He raised his hand slightly, lowered his dark glasses a bit, and carefully looked at the girl in front of him. Feeling the other party’s gaze, Asuna seemed to realize and slowly raised her head to look at him.

When his dark glasses were lowered, only half of his face was covered, and Asuna could see those eyes as clear and blue as the sky.

In an instant, she seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, completely immersed in them, and couldn’t help but exclaim: “Beautiful!”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt regret.

Although this mysterious boy had just successfully defeated the monster, who could guarantee that he was a good person? At this moment, Asuna hadn’t completely escaped danger, and the situation was still full of peril.

Hearing the girl’s praise, Satoru slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile. Then, he slowly bent down and extended his hand.

Seeing the hand extended towards her, Asuna felt nervous. She hesitated for a moment but soon realized she didn’t have many choices at this moment. So, she gritted her teeth and gently placed her hand in the other party’s hand. When their hands touched, a warm strength was transmitted to her, making her feel relieved.

Satoru pulled the girl from the ground with a strong tug. Asuna stood up, her body swaying slightly, but she finally regained her footing.

Satoru looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes sharp and deep.

He just stared at her without moving. As time passed, the air seemed to grow thicker. Finally, when Asuna couldn’t bear the strange atmosphere any longer, Satoru broke the silence:

“How about it, do you want to become my disciple?”

“Huh?”

Asuna’s eyes widened in surprise.

If she remembered correctly, she heard the other party say that he wanted to find two students to help him with some work, but she decided to agree.

After that, Satoru taught her how to train. Since Asuna was good with a sword, he taught her many sword skills.

Of course, he also learned that Asuna was a middle school student. To provide a better education, Satoru asked her to transfer to his school after Asuna’s parents learned that the boy asking her to transfer was a genius.

He earned 5,000 yen at the age of 14. Satoru now had one trillion yen, with no intention of keeping it a secret at all.
