Before seeing him in person, Kyūjō had assumed the boy himself had been the one controlling a Special Grade Curse to attack civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now… it seemed far more complicated than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the Special Grade Curse had latched onto this gifted child and had been feeding off his Curse Energy for years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Kyūjō wasn't exactly a specialist in cursed spirits, so he wasn't too confident in that theory either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something definitely didn't add up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he took another step forward, \"Rika\"—the Special Grade Curse—suddenly surged into view, reacting violently to protect Yuta's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuta… Yuta… I won't let anyone hurt you!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cursed Spirit fully materialized—Rika Orimoto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her massive, alien-like body loomed several stories high, and in an instant, she unleashed her power and obliterated the entire school building around Kyūjō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chunks of ceiling and reinforced concrete rained down like meteors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kyūjō didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a swift leap, he launched himself into the air, rising to meet the monstrous spirit face-to-face. Then he swung his katana with a loud, sharp strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks burst from the blade as it carved into her neck—but the cursed flesh only gave way slightly before stopping the slash cold, less than ten centimeters in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled the blade back and kicked off mid-air with enough force to shatter the air around him, blasting himself higher to avoid a massive claw swipe that nearly clipped his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hovering above the spirit, Kyūjō watched it writhe and snarl below him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stroked his chin, thinking carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two years of nonstop training in Curse Energy… and this was still the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, his body just wasn't built for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that was only part of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd finally figured out the real reason: because of his own existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A being that bordered on \"all-knowing and all-powerful\"... someone like that couldn't easily feel deep negative emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without negativity, there could be no Curse Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lived in perfect balance—too perfect. As long as that inner harmony remained, the growth of his Curse Energy would crawl slower than a snail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten years of intense training, he'd finally reached the total output equivalent of a Grade 3 Sorcerer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, for a fourteen-year-old, that wasn't bad. But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was using the Infinity Perception System. While others relied on human training, he had the power of a supercomputer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even then, his Curse Energy was still Grade 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His katana, too, carried special properties, but at best it could only be called a Grade 2 Cursed Tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Physically, he was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fighting a Special Grade Cursed Spirit with a Grade 2 weapon?

Zzzzing... Zzzzing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deactivated his Cursed Technique and resheathed his katana with a clean, practiced motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he clenched his fists and coated them in a thin layer of Curse Energy—then dove headfirst toward the monster from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating a Cursed Technique consumed far more energy than enhancing the body directly with raw power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So instead of wasting more energy, Kyūjō decided to take her on with his bare fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous crash, he slammed into Rika from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His punch sent the colossal spirit flying, crashing into another building nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked cool—but Kyūjō knew it wasn't enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Grade 3 output barely pierced her defenses, let alone did any real damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To actually destroy her before she regenerated, he'd need to hit her not once or twice—but thousands, maybe tens of thousands of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destruction he was causing was starting to draw attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, ordinary humans couldn't see cursed spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the higher-ups in Jujutsu Tokyo? They'd definitely sensed the Special Grade Cursed Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, they dispatched the strongest possible response:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gojo Satoru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments after ending his phone call, Gojo Satoru crossed several dozen kilometers in a heartbeat and appeared on-site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was curious—just who was messing with his future student?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A boy with the potential to become a Special Grade Sorcerer himself…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their eyes met—both of them froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenin Kyūjō was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected any human in this world to be this fast! The man had just brushed the edge of his Infinity sensory range—and now he was right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Kyūjō didn't possess monstrous mental strength and reaction time, he wouldn't have even perceived Gojo's approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating his Infinity Perception, Kyūjō quickly analyzed the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he saw was unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Cursed Technique this advanced… it defied reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was him—the strongest Sorcerer in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who wielded the legendary technique: Infinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What a magnificent technique…' Kyūjō muttered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Gojo wasn't showing his full power, the Infinity alone was enough to make Kyūjō incredibly curious…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Gojo was just as surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This boy…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked just like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same white hair.

This boy didn't look like he belonged in this world at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single wave of his hand, Gojo deployed a massive Curtain, sealing off the entire school area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he chose not to interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he floated in the air, observing quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this boy with the white hair...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had just become very, very interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Note – Curtain (帳)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A \"Curtain\" is a type of barrier used frequently in Jujutsu combat.
