The only thing that mattered was one question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What grade of Curse can you exorcise on your own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you could take down a Grade 4 Curse by yourself, you were a Grade 4 Sorcerer. If you could solo a Special Grade Curse, then you'd be considered among the strongest Grade 1 Sorcerers alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, reaching the rank of Special Grade was an entirely different matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this current era, Special Grades were seen as individuals capable of bringing down entire nations. That was the unofficial definition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To receive an official rank, one needed evaluation from the top authorities of the Jujutsu world—namely, the Tokyo and Kyoto Jujutsu Technical Colleges, or the Three Great Families: Gojo, Zenin, and Kamo. Only they had the authority to assign official titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you channel Cursed Energy into your own technique—that was Technique Activation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ability could be refined through innate talent and relentless training, which deepened your understanding and improved the precision of your technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Gojo Satoru, for example. His body naturally inherited the Limitless technique. When that technique was reversed using Reverse Cursed Technique, it became \"Blue\"—a force that generated powerful gravitational pull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its counterpart, \"Red,\" and other more advanced applications, were far more complex... topics for another time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because her Cursed Energy was so weak—and she was still young—Mai Zenin, Kyūjō's older sister, had never once successfully activated a technique of her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was why she was so stunned when she saw Kyūjō do it so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, she had always assumed her little brother was just like her—untalented, fragile, flawed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she realized the harsh truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who lacked talent... was her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To awaken his own personal technique at the age of eleven?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn't just talent—it was genius. Even by Zenin standards, it was rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of white light swept across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō released his technique. The long sword that had manifested in his hand faded away like mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying a word, he picked up a pen and scribbled a message on paper:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My technique boosts my entire physical body. That sword acts like a cursed tool—it deals enhanced damage to Cursed Spirits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The spirits faced by the Final Guard are all low-grade. They're not particularly dangerous. I want to join them so I can practice my swordsmanship. Please don't stop me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading Kyūjō's note and seeing the calm in his eyes, Zenin Arisa felt something unfamiliar stirring in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really her son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zenin Clan, there was an unspoken law:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're not a sorcerer, you're not even human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a mother who had spent her whole life under that brutal truth, Arisa knew she had no moral right to stand in the way of a child who had finally crossed that threshold—no matter how young he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyūjō… even if you've awakened your technique, please… be careful in the Final Guard. I don't want you to get hurt,\" Arisa said softly, her eyes glistening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll go too!\" Mai suddenly shouted, spinning around. \"I want to join the Final Guard with Maki-nee and Kyūjō!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Maki stepped forward and cut her off with a firm glare. \"You? Mai, how about you train your own technique first before joining anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the oldest sister—with both the physical strength and emotional maturity to back it—Maki easily calmed her impulsive younger sibling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Zenin Ogi—their absent father and the \"head\" of their small household—returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arisa, filled with rare excitement, immediately told him the news about Kyūjō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh yeah? Seriously?\" Ogi raised an eyebrow, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat down cross-legged on the tatami floor and said coldly, \"Call the boy here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Arisa left to get him, Ogi narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A technique in the shape of a sword… boosts the body… and deals more damage to Cursed Spirits? Hmph. Sounds decent, if it's not just some bluff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, Ogi Zenin had never truly acknowledged Kyūjō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the boy was just a mute failure. Trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Kyūjō, who had just been summoned from his room, narrowed his eyes as he walked toward his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still sees me as garbage, huh? Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let's play this your way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Kyūjō stood before his father and attempted to replicate the technique he had used earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he acted clumsy, flinching slightly, and failed to activate it properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ogi's face darkened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a displeased wave of his hand, he dismissed Kyūjō like a fly, glaring at Arisa before storming back into his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fully believed the boy had lied about his ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wasn't so tired tonight, he thought, he'd have given that brat a beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Completely worthless,\" he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Kyūjō had faked the failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had absolutely zero interest in being acknowledged by someone like Ogi Zenin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man who blamed his own children for his failure to become clan head?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, Kyūjō and Maki officially joined the Final Guard Unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that day forward, Kyūjō slowly began revealing his extraordinary talent to the world:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A body far stronger than any ordinary human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swordsmanship that grew at an unnatural pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this combination, Kyūjō earned his place in the squad in just a few short months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, he was already accompanying them on real missions—exorcising low-grade spirits outside the Zenin estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Maki trained day and night:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning to wield cursed tools, knives, spears, bows—even guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to her Heavenly Restriction-enhanced body, her physical growth was rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only six months after Kyūjō, thirteen-year-old Maki caught up to the senior members of the Final Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Maki-nee. I'll protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was what Kyūjō wrote on the small note he handed to her one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maki tapped his head with a sigh, a faint warmth rising in her chest despite herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyūjō, I don't need you to protect me. Just make sure you stay safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she knew full well her little brother had already surpassed her in strength, Maki still said it firmly—like a proper big sister should.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Join my Patreon here:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🔗 patreon.com\u002FFaaanzKun\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>✅ Enjoy 120+ chapters ahead of WebNovel\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>✅ 2 new chapters every day (Monday–Saturday), exclusive on Patreon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>✅ Be the first to experience Arc 8 and the new season before anyone else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>📖 The first chapter of Arc 8 is now live!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read it right now on Patreon~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🌙 Note: Sunday is a rest day, so there will be no updates tomorrow.
