[is there? is there really a way????? IS THERE....]
It's cause of the Innocence. It's the only material in the world that can destroy Akuma, and it chooses its wielder. No one knows how it chooses people, just that they have to get whoever it is.
That's what they tell you... And how it always has been. Can't even put in your resignation. [ That's so sad. ] I don't have any plans to stop being a sorcerer, but at least I have some choice.
I guess there must be, but most see it as a responsibility and duty. Can't carry that out if you're dead. It's different if you're the last line of defense, though. No choice unless you want to be a deserter and let mankind die.
[ Thinking more. ]
In my opinion, a lot of sorcerers are more self-serving.
Honing your cursed techniques, getting stronger... It's also a display of your place in the pecking order. That's traditional self-interest.
[ Strokes chin. ]
There are those who join and stay because we get paid very well, or working in corporate Japan doesn't suit them. Then those who join because they want to protect their close few... And finally the very few of us who take the strong protecting the weak tagline incredibly seriously. Some of that is genuine, some of it is plainly self-righteous.

I wonder what kind of person you are, too, Lavi. You're kind of just hanging around the outskirts of the order, but they're dragging you in. That's annoying.

And once they do, they're Exorcists for life.

Well, we've got types who want to save the world more than themselves. I'm guessing it's like that for you too?
