"Oh, wow...and I thought I had a lot of Cursed Energy..." remarked Gojo, sporting a smile that didn't quite reach his shimmering eyes as he sized Subaru up for the first time.
"How about it? Do you think you can teach him to control or at least rein it in within the next three and a half months...?" asked Vahn, causing Subaru to swallow audibly while standing ramrod straight with his hands glued to his sides.
"Honestly? I have no clue," admitted Gojo, spreading his hands, tilting his head slightly, and shrugging as he contended, "There are unmistakable similarities, but I've never dealt with Cursed Energy from another world. I can teach him how Jujutsu Sorcerers in my world control it, but there's no guarantee we're playing by the same rules. Still, as long as he's willing to work hard, I should be able to figure something out."
"If it's just working hard, I'm willing to do whatever it takes, Sensei...!" exclaimed Subaru, holding up and gripping his right hand into a fist. He had no idea who Gojo was, but if he was a teacher Vahn recommended, he had to be exceptional.
"Oh, yeah, I can definitely work with this guy..." affirmed Gojo, his smile gaining undertones of expectance and appreciation. Any ordinary person would have succumbed to the amount of Cursed Energy plaguing Subaru long ago, so Gojo was genuinely impressed by his ability to stay positive despite dying and even taking his own life 38 times.
"Then I leave him in your capable hands," said Vahn, nodding. "And if you need anything to that end, just let me or someone in the Dragon's Pavilion know, and it will be provided."
Seeing Vahn preparing to depart, Gojo stopped him, stating, "There is one thing. The best way to familiarize oneself with Cursed Energy and Jujutsu is by employing it against Cursed Spirits. This Corridor of yours seems to filter out or purify Cursed Energy like a massive shrine, so if we're going to train in Jujutsu, we need a proper training ground."
