It was noon.
The sun's rays streamed into the room through the window. Gojo Satoru, who had previously mistakenly thought he had woken up and was practicing his teleportation technique in a dream, groggily opened his eyes.
"Is this... was everything before just a dream?"
Gojo Satoru groggily opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. A hint of pure foolishness gleamed in his pale blue eyes.
He raised a hand and pressed it against his forehead, a troubled expression on his face.
"I knew it felt unreal. Learning 'teleportation' in an instant was one thing, but my 'big brother plan' was also completed so easily..."
Gojo Satoru let out a sigh. Though frustrated, he could only accept it. He got out of bed, tidied his clothes slightly, and then walked out of his room.
But when he saw Chinatsu already practicing her teleportation technique, he felt as if the step he took out of his room was a step into hell...
A few days later, the announcement of Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru's rankings was officially released. At the tender age of six, both became "Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerers," shocking the entire Jujutsu World.
Children with Jujutsu talent mostly awaken their Cursed Technique between the ages of four and six. While some children had just awakened their Cursed Technique and were at the starting line, Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru had already raced to "Grade 2." How could this not be shocking?
However, for Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru, this was a foregone conclusion, so their emotions didn't change much.
During this time of external uproar, both were attempting to cultivate short-distance teleportation, but this derivative technique was clearly still too difficult for them at their current stage.
Through countless attempts, the afterimages of Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru constantly flashed around the Gojo Family estate, like ghosts.
Even though everyone in the Gojo Family estate knew that the two were practicing teleportation, it still inevitably startled some unsuspecting people.
The Grand Elder saw this scene and awkwardly pulled a cloth from his pocket to wipe the sweat from his brow.
"It seems... I still need to find something for them to do..." the Grand Elder murmured softly.
However, despite saying that, the Grand Elder couldn't immediately think of how to find a lot of things for them to do.
Jujutsu missions?
But in truth, there weren't that many missions.
Because Cursed Spirits originate from human negative emotions, they vary depending on factors such as time, weather, season, and environment.
Simply put, Cursed Spirits also have "off-seasons" and "peak seasons," and currently, it was the "off-season."
The accumulated Jujutsu missions were not numerous, and the Gojo Family, as a major Jujutsu clan, couldn't very well snatch missions from ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers who relied on them to earn a living.
The Grand Elder helplessly raised a hand and covered his head.
He had seen too many children unwilling to cultivate boring Jujutsu, thus diverting their attention to other areas, causing many parents headaches.
He truly hadn't expected to be troubled by the opposite situation, even to the point of not being able to find a solution for a while.
Fortunately, Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru didn't fuss for long. A few hours later, both were lying on the lawn of the estate, panting heavily, feeling like their brains were about to explode.
This [teleportation] was not a technique that the two at this age could easily master. Both were well aware of this, but they truly hadn't expected it to be so difficult to actually execute.
A month? Half a year? A year?
They still hoped to master it sooner.
Lying on the lawn, Chinatsu raised an arm and placed it on her forehead. Her pale blue eyes quietly gazed at the azure sky and white clouds, lost in thought.
She was contemplating her future, wondering what she, a character not originally present in the original work, could achieve or change by suddenly entering this world.
jujutsu kaisen contains many tragedies, and even the main plot is formed by a series of interconnected tragedies.
Could these... truly be changed?
Chinatsu, who should have felt confused about this, unexpectedly felt no discomfort. Her eyes gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, and she even felt a warm current emanating from her chest, whether it was an illusion or not.
[Confidence]
It was a subtle feeling, as if she had experienced success somewhere before. Chinatsu had no doubts about her future and trusted that she would succeed.
If one "the strongest" in the original work isn't enough, then there will be another "the strongest." If that's still not enough, then it's my defeat!
With that thought, Chinatsu, lying on the lawn, gently exhaled, slowly closed her eyes, and quietly drifted into slumber amidst the gentle breeze.
A few days later.
The academy cafeteria, where Chinatsu had carried out the Jujutsu mission, underwent a major overhaul. A year ago, the cafeteria's reputation at this academy was not bad. The academy had adopted an "outsourcing system," hiring a group of excellent chefs from outside to prepare meals for the students.
However, this system did not last. Corruption among the academy's Higher-Ups was the biggest reason. To save as much money as possible, they terminated the contracts of the original chefs and replaced them with a group of people who had subtle connections with the academy's Higher-Ups.
Now, the academy's cafeteria had regained its vitality. Students eating the cafeteria food heartily expressed, "Our youth is back!" The negative emotions generated by the cafeterias visibly decreased to a safe limit.
"Mmm~ This is the taste~ It's truly wonderful!"
"This is more like it, this is what people should eat! What were those things before?!"
"Happiness, such happiness! The stress from this morning instantly vanished. I feel like I can try harder and get through the afternoon classes!"
The students ate their meals with happy expressions. In this warm atmosphere, their conversation topics varied, including Chinatsu, whom they had met once at the school gate, discussing whether Chinatsu would attend their school.
Of course, the answer was no.
Because if Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru were to attend school, they would only attend one of the two schools in the Jujutsu World:
Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College
and
Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High Technical College
Abbreviated as Jujutsu High.
However, at six years old, it was still too early for the two to attend these schools. They would have to be at least fifteen, and before that, they would only receive basic knowledge through homeschooling.
Time passed quickly day by day. Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru, while not neglecting their Jujutsu training, were also constantly subjected to the torment of advanced homeschooling.
Through Chinatsu's efforts, she successfully saw off three generations of tutors with a professional smile, and through Gojo Satoru's efforts, he also successfully drove away three generations of tutors.
Soon, both reached the age of 14...
