Chapter 3: Gojo Satoru

Mei Mei looked at the little boy sitting on the ground. Judging by his fatigued state and the residual Cursed Energy that hadn't fully dissipated from his body, it was hard to believe, but that Cursed Spirit must have been exorcised by him.

However, to be 100% sure, Mei Mei still asked, as it was quite extraordinary for such a young child to eliminate a Grade 1, almost Special Grade, Cursed Spirit. Furthermore, the burst of Cursed Energy that had drawn her here earlier was also terrifying.

Yet, the young, handsome child remained silent, merely looking at her. Mei Mei couldn't help but sigh, rubbing her forehead. She truly had no experience dealing with children this small, especially when the other party was somewhat wary of her.

Mei Mei composed herself, revealing a kind and gentle smile. She half-crouched and said to Kamihara Hajime, "Don't be afraid. I'm a Jujutsu Sorcerer, specializing in dealing with these monsters. You can think of me as the Police! Now, little one, can you tell me what happened here?"

"Jujutsu Sorcerer..."

As if struck by something, Kamihara Hajime began to rack his brain, and then, in a flash of insight, he remembered.

Jujutsu Sorcerers! The name for a group of people in Jujutsu Kaisen.

In that world, negative human emotions give rise to Curses and Cursed Spirits, while those born with a Technique and the ability to control their Cursed Energy are called Jujutsu Sorcerers, and they are responsible for eliminating those Cursed Spirits.

The animated work flashed quickly through Kamihara Hajime mind. In his previous life, he hadn't known much about it, only having seen the film and television adaptations. The characters and plot emerged one by one in his mind...

That's right, Mei Mei!

That beautiful white-haired female character, no wonder she seemed familiar. So, this means... I've reincarnated into Jujutsu Kaisen! My "Psychic Power" ability is actually Cursed Energy, so does that mean I'm exceptionally gifted?

He had a slight understanding of Jujutsu Kaisen when it became popular in his previous life, but he rarely read manga and had only watched the anime on a certain platform, and even then, only about half of it before he lost the opportunity.

A flurry of thoughts surged through Kamihara Hajime mind. Mei Mei, seeing that he still hadn't reacted, felt her smile almost stiffen. Just as she was about to try a different approach, she heard the boy speak.

"Kamihara Hajime, my name is Kamihara Hajime. A big monster ate Sister Sakura, so I killed it."

Following where Kamihara Hajime pointed, Mei Mei saw Sakura lying on the ground. She walked over to check on her and then said, "She's just fainted, not seriously injured. The Curse hasn't deeply eroded her, but she'll need a long rest."

Mei Mei then turned to the boy named Kamihara Hajime, sighing in relief. At this moment, her heart was filled with curiosity and inquiry, so she walked over to Kamihara Hajime and easily lifted him up.

"I'll believe you for now. The big one has been eliminated by you, and I've cleared out the small ones. Let's head out first. Did you see any other survivors?"

Kamihara Hajime told her about the two hidden children. Then, Mei Mei carried him with one hand and the unconscious Sakura with the other, walking out as if they weighed nothing.

She carried the two through that curtain-like thing. If she remembered correctly, this thing should be called a Curtain, which seemed to be a barrier that Jujutsu Sorcerers used to isolate the surroundings when performing missions.

The two were placed in a black car. Mei Mei then turned and re-entered the Curtain. Before long, she emerged again with two children who were slightly frightened but generally calm.

Then Mei Mei called Kamihara Hajime aside. He had rested for a while and was much better. Mei Mei, with a curious expression, said, "Someone will be here soon to handle the follow-up. Can you tell me, big sister, the full details of what happened?"

After a moment of deliberation, Kamihara Hajime selectively recounted the events to her. Now that he had confirmed it was the Jujutsu Kaisen world, Kamihara Hajime had a new goal: to find a way to enroll in Tokyo Jujutsu High in the future!

He didn't have a family, and the profession of a Jujutsu Sorcerer had a lineage. Even with his talent, self-teaching would lead nowhere, especially since the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer in the world, Gojo Satoru, was there!

Enroll in Tokyo Jujutsu High, receive guidance from Gojo Satoru, and improve his strength! Having set his plan, Kamihara Hajime now faced Mei Mei, who was also a graduate of Tokyo Jujutsu High and a senior of Gojo Satoru. It was only then that Kamihara Hajime didn't refuse her request.

After all, by merely describing the general course of events, Kamihara Hajime was confident that even if he wasn't top-tier, he was definitely talented, which should attract attention and prepare him for entering the Jujutsu World.

A magnificent world was finally revealing a corner before his eyes, and how could Kamihara Hajime, with his qualifications, refuse?

Indeed, after listening to the somewhat halting description, Mei Mei's eyes were filled with either shock or emotion. She patted Kamihara Hajime head: "There are some snacks in the car. The Police and Hospital personnel will be here soon, so just wait for a bit."

So Kamihara Hajime sat in the car, sharing snacks with Kumiko, who had escaped danger and was now a bit hungry. Out of the corner of his eye, Mei Mei was standing not far away, making a phone call.

...

"Satoru, you absolutely won't believe it, but in that Cursed Spirit's semi-complete innate domain, there was a child who exorcised that Cursed Spirit."

Mei Mei had a strange smile. After the person on the other end finished speaking, she continued, "Yes, he seems to have awakened a Technique. He appears to have grasped some rudimentary applications of Cursed Energy on his own, and his Cursed Energy is terrifyingly immense..."

"Okay, once you've handled things there, come over as soon as possible..."

Soon after, wailing police cars and ambulances arrived. Sakura and the two children were taken away. The arriving Police said something to Mei Mei and then walked towards the orphanage, which was no longer enveloped by the Curtain.

Mei Mei turned and got into the car. Kamihara Hajime glanced at her and then looked out the car window. Mei Mei also didn't speak, and the two fell into a harmonious silence.

Suddenly, a person abruptly appeared in Kamihara Hajime line of sight. His eyes widened slightly as he carefully scrutinized the person: the same white hair pushed upwards, a tall figure dressed in black clothes of the same style as Mei Mei's, and a well-defined, handsome, and refined face with layers of bandages covering his eyes.

Gojo Satoru! The strongest in the Jujutsu World, one of the protagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen. Watching Gojo Satoru walk straight over, Mei Mei pulled open the car door and got out, then gestured for Kamihara Hajime to get out as well.

Gojo Satoru walked closer with his hands in his pockets, bending slightly to examine Kamihara Hajime. Kamihara Hajime looked at the face obscured by bandages. He knew that the other person's gaze wouldn't be blocked by mere bandages.

Then Gojo Satoru straightened up, stroking his chin and saying, "How interesting. His name is Kamihara Hajime, right? He indeed possesses immense Cursed Energy, and he's self-taught in understanding how to suppress it and some simple applications. Not bad, not bad..."

"Can I see your Technique?"

Kamihara Hajime appropriately showed a puzzled expression: "What's a Technique? Are you talking about my superpower?"

Gojo Satoru smiled and snapped his fingers: "Exactly! Sense that inherent thing you have, and show it to me."

Then Gojo Satoru raised his hand and removed the bandages, revealing those exquisitely beautiful blue eyes, which were also a legend in the Jujutsu World: the Six Eyes!

Capable of seeing the flow and operation of Cursed Energy, and even the information of Techniques.

Kamihara Hajime took a deep breath under the gaze of those blue eyes, then activated his superpower—no... it should be called his Technique.

Then everything around him seemed to slow down. Kamihara Hajime looked up and, as expected, saw Gojo Satoru still observing him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

As Kamihara Hajime moved around, Gojo Satoru's gaze remained fixed on him. This was the first time Kamihara Hajime had seen someone who could keep up with him in this state.

Mei Mei, on the other hand, was a bit behind. After Kamihara Hajime finished his demonstration, Mei Mei asked curiously, "How was it, Satoru? Is his Technique to accelerate his movements? I barely saw anything just now."

Gojo Satoru closed his eyes in thought: "No, it's not as simple as acceleration. I can't be 100% sure yet, but... it's very interesting..."

Mei Mei grew even more curious upon hearing this. After all, there weren't many things that could pique Gojo Satoru's interest like this. Coupled with the boy's immense Cursed Energy and his unknown Technique, perhaps... another Special Grade would emerge in the future?

Gojo Satoru's expression changed, revealing a brilliant smile. He crouched down and said in a cheerful, enticing tone, "Kamihara Hajime ... you've awakened a Technique, you're no longer an ordinary person! You, I, and this big sister are all the same kind of people. We have a school that specifically accepts people like you."

"There are many fun things there, and they can teach you how to use your 'superpower.' How about it? Come join us!"

Mei Mei rubbed her forehead: "Satoru, can you please not look like a creepy child abductor? Also... Tokyo Jujutsu High doesn't accept children this young."

Gojo Satoru stroked his chin: "He's already awakened a Technique. Staying outside isn't a good idea. It would be bad if Curse Masters targeted him. I need to find a way... I've got it!"

"No matter what, let's get him out of the orphanage first. Otherwise, when those Curse Masters discover him, this orphanage will also suffer."

Gojo Satoru frowned at Kamihara Hajime small face. He knew the child could understand him. Then he heard Kamihara Hajime say, troubled, "Then what should I do?"

Gojo Satoru laughed heartily, waving his hand, "Relax, relax! As long as you understand. I'll find someone to handle the adoption procedures for you later. The Gojo Family can easily raise a child..."

Gojo Satoru re-tied his bandages and said, "We can't stay here forever. This isn't a safe place for you. How about this, I'll take you somewhere first."

Seeing Kamihara Hajime nod in agreement, Gojo Satoru suddenly bent down and showed a sinister expression: "Actually, we're bad guys and we're going to kidnap you!"

Kamihara Hajime showed no sign of the panic Gojo Satoru wanted to see. In fact, the child even looked at him with a slightly disdainful and contemptuous gaze. However, Gojo Satoru wasn't embarrassed in the slightest and instead burst into laughter.

Mei Mei, on the side, maintained her smile. Satoru still had that somewhat mischievous personality. In a way, he was also like a child.

Then Gojo Satoru placed his hand on the back of Kamihara Hajime neck, and without any visible grasping motion, he firmly lifted Kamihara Hajime up.

"Then we're off!"

This was said to Mei Mei. Then, amidst Mei Mei's words of "Don't forget my reward," Kamihara Hajime felt the scenery before his eyes instantly shift.

He couldn't tell how much it had changed, and the next moment, he appeared in an unfamiliar place.
