Wang Pi Bei was deceived.
Like any child who loved learning, he dreamed of getting into Dongda.
But when he arrived to register, he learned that he had enrolled in the Jujutsu Technical School,
a technical high school with no academic atmosphere whatsoever.
He went to demand an explanation.
His family said, "You have a talent for jujutsu!"
That was true. He had become a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer at just fifteen.
His middle school teacher said, "Little Pi might not be cut out for studying."
That was fair, too. Even though he never skipped class and always did his homework, he had never ranked first in his grade.
Only the white-haired teacher listened to his troubles,
then patted him on the head and took him to cause a scene at the main family estate!
In the end, they gave him this answer:
He could leave only if he exorcised a hundred Special Grade Cursed Spirits within a year.
Wang Pi Bei lowered his head.
They thought he was despairing, but then they heard the boy stifle a laugh.
"Fine. I'll show you useless idiots what I'm capable of."
They say that year became a nightmare that every surviving Special Grade Cursed Spirit wished it could forget, but never could.
The love interest should be a Special Grade Cursed Spirit (probably).
