Among Jujutsu Sorcerers, "Special Grade" is an extraordinary existence, so compared to these anomalies, "Grade 1" is the backbone that guides other Jujutsu Sorcerers and even the entire Jujutsu World.
Therefore, being a Special Grade Sorcerer is truly just a special title; Jujutsu Sorcerers who don't have Special Grade power cannot obtain this title, and Jujutsu Sorcerers who possess Special Grade power but don't want it are still forced by the Jujutsu Higher-Ups to wear it.
It is both an honor and a restriction.
The Jujutsu Higher-Ups elevate these powerhouses, who possess exceptional strength and can even disregard regulations, to a position where everyone can notice them, thus forming an invisible constraint.
If any Special Grade Sorcerer attempts to ignore the rules they've set, these Higher-Ups can relatively quickly discover it and take countermeasures.
For example, moral condemnation, or perhaps pinning some baseless stigma on the Special Grade Sorcerer, and then gathering a large number of Jujutsu Sorcerers for a targeted extermination.
Of course, whether they can win is another matter entirely.
At this moment, Chinatsu, who had received the title of Special Grade Sorcerer, was simply quietly eating her curry rice. Although her childhood goal was to become a Special Grade Sorcerer, she wasn't particularly excited when she actually obtained the title.
Because her goal was "Special Grade power," not the "Special Grade title." That feeling of joy and excitement had already been fully experienced when she awakened after her battle with Fushiguro Toji.
Soon, she finished her curry rice and walked out of the cafeteria. Although she was given the title of Special Grade Sorcerer, she was not yet invincible, because she had not yet mastered Domain Expansion.
Domain Expansion is the ultimate secret of this level of Jujutsu; there is a very deep chasm between Jujutsu Sorcerers who have mastered Domain Expansion and those who haven't.
Even if one's normal combat power overwhelms the opponent when a Domain Expansion is not active, if the opponent activates their Domain Expansion, the outcome of the battle might shift.
In the original work, the Domain Expansion awakened by Gojo Satoru is called Unlimited Void, the strongest killing move of the mental control system, capable of forcibly injecting a large amount of junk information into the enemy's brain, causing the enemy's brain to crash and leaving them standing foolishly in place.
The effect of this Domain Expansion seems simple but is also quite brutal; even Ryomen Sukuna, another ceiling-level powerhouse in this work, would suffer severe brain damage and spit blood after enduring its effects for 10 seconds.
Yet, despite such a powerful technique, Chinatsu currently had no idea how to train for it, and Chinatsu's goal was not Gojo Satoru's Unlimited Void; she yearned more to master her own unique Domain Expansion.
"I need to try harder..."
Chinatsu sighed helplessly and continued to immerse herself in training. Although there was still a long time before the main storyline of the original work unfolded, Chinatsu had a premonition that the unfolding of the plot might not be as smooth as she imagined.
And when the news that Chinatsu, Gojo Satoru, and Geto Suguru had become Special Grade Sorcerers spread throughout the Jujutsu World, the entire Jujutsu World once again erupted in a clamor.
The Gojo Family members were filled with pride and joy, while the Kamo Clan acted as if they heard nothing, because not long ago, a son of their family head named Kamo Noritoshi awakened their family's top Cursed Technique, Blood Manipulation.
Although Kamo Noritoshi was not the legitimate eldest son of the family head but a child born to a concubine, since the main wife failed to give birth to a son who inherited the Cursed Technique, he was publicly declared to be the true legitimate son.
The Gojo Family had two "Rikugan Limitless" users.
The Kamo Clan also had one "Blood Manipulation" user.
Zen'in Naobito, the current head of the Zen'in Family, sat with a grim face, drinking sullenly. Originally, facing the Gojo Family's individuality, there was still the Kamo Clan to share in the hardship, but now, their family had become the one that stood out.
"Ten Shadows Technique... Ten Shadows Technique... Where are you, after all...?"
It was precisely because Zen'in Naobito was the strongest Grade 1 Sorcerer that he understood how far a future an excellent Cursed Technique could give a Jujutsu Sorcerer.
His Cursed Technique was "Projection Sorcery," one of the inherited Cursed Techniques of the Zen'in Family, considered strong, second only to the Ten Shadows Technique.
After activating this Cursed Technique, objects moving within the Jujutsu Sorcerer's line of sight would slow down, breaking into 24 frames per second, and a set of movement trajectories would be tracked and formed.
Anything touched by Naobito's palm that did not move according to the predetermined trajectory could be frozen for one second.
Strong, very strong.
But it was still slightly inferior to the Ten Shadows Technique.
Zen'in Naobito exhaled a breath, smelling of alcohol. He closed his eyes in frustration and dozed off.
On the other side, in the Fushiguro household.
Fushiguro Toji was lounging on the sofa, legs crossed, holding a remote control and flipping through channels on the TV, watching a gambling program.
"Tch, I didn't win again. I really need to quit this gambling addiction, or else the money I've saved will run out soon."
Fushiguro Toji said, flicking the betting slip he held in one hand onto the floor. Young Megumi Fushiguro walked out of his room and happened to hear Fushiguro Toji's mumbling.
"If you could quit, you would have quit long ago. I'm sick of hearing that ever since you came home," Megumi Fushiguro retorted bluntly.
He walked directly from his room towards the kitchen, as the refrigerator was in that direction. Megumi Fushiguro intended to take out some leftover milk from the refrigerator to drink.
On his way, he casually glanced towards his father's direction. It was just that one glance, and he suddenly froze, stopping in his tracks.
Because in his sight, Fushiguro Toji today was different from before; a black, worm-like Cursed Spirit was wrapped around Fushiguro Toji's body.
Megumi Fushiguro's unusual behavior was quickly noticed by Fushiguro Toji, who was lounging on the sofa. At first, he just glanced at Megumi Fushiguro, who was standing still, with some confusion.
He was about to ask Megumi Fushiguro why he was standing still, but by observing the position of Megumi Fushiguro's gaze, he immediately understood the reason for Megumi Fushiguro's immobility.
A Cursed Spirit was wrapped around Fushiguro Toji's body. This was a Cursed Spirit he had cultivated a master-servant contract with since childhood, possessing the ability to store space. Most of the Cursed Tools he owned were kept inside this small Cursed Spirit. When needed, he only had to think, and the Cursed Spirit would spit out the corresponding Cursed Tool from its body.
Non-Jujutsu Sorcerers cannot perceive Cursed Spirits; only Jujutsu Sorcerers who have awakened their innate Cursed Technique possess this ability, and basically, those with potential awaken between 4 and 6 years old.
Megumi Fushiguro was currently 5 years old, so it was perfectly reasonable and normal for him to awaken his Cursed Technique any day, but Fushiguro Toji hadn't expected it to be so sudden.
He didn't immediately explain to Megumi Fushiguro what a Cursed Spirit or a Jujutsu Sorcerer was. Instead, he simply spoke with a faint smile.
"Megumi, congratulations on entering the foul Jujutsu World."
