The Cursed Spirits were fully contained, and Sōjun Minamoto had properly dressed himself. His previously loose hair gathered on its own, tied back at the nape by a single looped strand.
He was now wearing the Tokyo Jujutsu High uniform—enough to clearly identify his affiliation.
“Let me introduce myself.” Sōjun Minamoto smiled and greeted the group. “I’m Sōjun Minamoto, a bounty sorcerer from Jujutsu High. I was sent to assist with deploying the Curtain.”
He t...

Time passed quickly.
That’s just how life was for a Jujutsu Sorcerer. As long as you treated exorcising curses like clocking in for work, it wasn’t so different from a regular job.
When there were no missions, the days slipped by fast—just like how vacations always seemed to vanish in a blink. Taking off your ID badge wasn’t all that different from an office worker loosening their tie.
Another new school year had begun.
Not that it had much to do with Sōjun Mi...

In the courtyard, a tree as thick as a person’s arms stood alone. Withered flowers and dead grass lay scattered at its base, and the strong wind occasionally bent its branches.
Sōjun Minamoto and Shiko Mishima were sparring.
Or rather, Shiko Mishima was attacking, and Sōjun Minamoto was simply evading.
Her strikes were fierce, trapping him in the center of a swirling blade aura. Sōjun Minamoto lifted his head, closed his eyes, and spread his arms as if embracing the sky...

By mid-March, Sōjun Minamoto had surpassed his mission quotas for the month, successfully completing both mandatory assignments. Starting next month, he would no longer be bound by compulsory tasks.

Following the recent cursed womb incident, Sōjun decided to slow his pace once more. He recognized numerous areas for improvement.
His flesh armor required completion and optimization. Currently, only one arm was finished; his plan was to develop a full-body armor ...

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed in beside the bed, casting a pale golden glow.
It was four a.m.
Sōjun Minamoto woke on schedule, refined his Cursed Energy, and did some light exercises in the courtyard.
He wasn’t planning to go out today.
The Cursed Womb he captured yesterday was still waiting to be dealt with.
After calmly finishing his daily training, Sōjun returned to the living room. The Cursed Womb sat cross-legged on the wooden flo...

The mission was complete.
Though this exorcism had been especially dangerous, neither Sōjun Minamoto nor Shiko Mishima suffered any major injuries.
Aside from being completely drained of Cursed Energy.
After thoroughly sweeping the school to ensure no spirits remained, Sōjun Minamoto dispelled the Curtain, and the two returned to the car.
Shiko Mishima had already bounced back to normal and, once again, extended an invitation.
“Mission accomplished. How about...

Tokyo in March was still bitterly cold, clinging to the last traces of winter with a chill that pierced the bones.
Even the Cursed Spirits seemed to be in a slump during this seasonal lull—the frequency of incidents had dropped significantly.
But spring was here. Sooner or later, the earth would awaken.

Shiko Mishima showed up unannounced.
“There’s a named mission we need to take,” she told Sōjun Minamoto.
Named missions were assigned when sorc...

The next afternoon, 2:15 p.m.
When Sōjun Minamoto arrived at the main gate of Jujutsu High, Shiko Mishima was already waiting in the car.
At a glance, the conflict and unease on her face were obvious.
She spotted Sōjun Minamoto and immediately, her expression brightened. Without hesitation, she voiced her concern.
“You didn’t reply to my message last night. Were you mad?”
Sōjun Minamoto paused. You held onto that all night?
“No, I fell asleep,”...

In the morning, Shiko Mishima woke up to find herself lying on Sōjun Minamoto’s sofa.
Another blackout from drinking.
Holding her head, she tried to ease the throbbing from the hangover. Most of last night was a blur.
She sat on the sofa, still groggy. Her blank gaze drifted forward, unable to focus.
Sōjun Minamoto walked over, leaned down, and waved a hand in front of her face.
Shiko Mishima met his eyes.
One, two, three, four, five—huh? Why are ther...

No missions today.
Sōjun Minamoto continued with his daily training.
Shiko Mishima was also practicing swordsmanship in her courtyard. Yesterday’s battle seemed to have had an effect—her technique had clearly improved.
In just a few days since moving in, she’d already turned the once-orderly courtyard into a wreck of crushed plants and mangled greenery.
She didn’t seem to have many friends, rarely left the house, and spent every day either training her body or...

Another day passed.
March brought the early signs of spring. Each morning, the air was filled with birdsong and the scent of flowers, with fresh green buds pushing their way into the light.
Sōjun Minamoto didn’t rush to accept any missions.
He continued his daily training while gradually familiarizing himself with the surroundings, trying to establish a rhythm for training and daily life that suited him.
Shiko Mishima had already moved in nearby, acting with her usu...

This time, walking through Jujutsu High, Sōjun Minamoto felt something real. It was no longer just a collection of scenes or fragments from memory stitched into a few stories.
This was a real world.
It gave him a dull sense of disorientation—binary and ternary systems mixing, time and space overlapping.
So many things seemed almost right, but not quite, leaving him unsettled.
In truth, it didn’t matter which world he was in, or how many dimensions it had. He didn...

Early the next morning, there was a calm, unhurried knock at the door.
It wasn’t the kind that rushed or demanded attention—just steady and polite, the kind that left a good impression.
Sōjun Minamoto was already up.
These days, four hours of sleep were enough for him to fully recharge. By now, he had already completed his daily Cursed Energy refinement exercises.
He cleared his mind and felt his mood lift.
Opening the door, he saw a tall woman leaning casua...

Sōjun Minamoto followed Masamichi Yaga through a long and winding route before finally reaching their destination.
They had arrived in a remote mountainous region on the outskirts of Tokyo.
It was hard to believe there were even mountain roads built in such a secluded area. On one side loomed jagged rock walls, while the other was lined with a dense, ancient forest. The entire mountain range was blanketed in greenery.
As they drove along the mountainside, mist drifted throu...

This New Year, like always, was spent with Mr. and Mrs. Minamoto.
The first day after the New Year.
The whole family went to the temple to pray for blessings.
Clap, clap—
Sōjun Minamoto pressed his hands together in front of him and stood silently for a moment.
“What did you wish for, Jun?” Mr. Minamoto leaned over, curious.
“I wished for everyone to stay healthy and happy. That Mrs. Minamoto would always stay young and beautiful. And that Mr. Mina...

Sōjun Minamoto sat cross-legged by the tea table, his back to the window. An eye had opened on the back of his neck, its sharp gaze sweeping the surroundings.
Inside the eye, its internal structure was undergoing constant micro-adjustments—some parts added, others reduced.
For instance, the blood vessels on the retina: too many would cause astigmatism and chromatic aberration; reduce them, and vision improves. But too few, and the eye would suffer from energy deficiency and beg...

During this period, Masamichi Yaga had been taking Sōjun Minamoto on various missions.
The new volume of the Jujutsu Guide had already reached the advanced chapters.
It now covered the major family factions within the Jujutsu world—their inherited techniques, key figures, territorial influence, and more.
The information was thorough.
How could something like this circulate so easily? It had clearly crossed into forbidden territory.

After more than half a year, the "wait a while" Masamichi Yaga had spoken of had finally arrived.
The new book was already midway through the intermediate volume—and only now did the moment finally come!
That morning, just before dawn, Masamichi Yaga appeared at the door.
"Ready?"
He was dressed in a black formal suit today, giving off a rather solemn air.
"Just a sec!"
Sōjun Minamoto, well-versed in the layout, quickly found the key and unlocked the bas...

Masamichi Yaga wrapped up the week’s lesson and handed Sōjun Minamoto a notebook.
“Read it yourself,” he said, walking off without a glance back.
Sōjun Minamoto opened the blank cover. On the title page were two handwritten lines:
[New Edition Standard for Learning Basic Cursed Techniques (Beginner – Part 1)], published by Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.
It was definitely handwritten!
He flipped through the book ca...

“You're very talented. Would you like to be my student?”
“Sensei!”
Sōjun Minamoto switched how he addressed him without hesitation. It reminded him of his first mentor, but becoming Masamichi Yaga’s student was clearly the right choice.
In the Jujutsu World, there's a ranking system: Special Grade, then Grades 1 through 4, with Special Grade being the most powerful.
If regular weapons worked on Cursed Spirits, the comparisons would go something like this:

Sōjun Minamoto grew serious.
His thoughts drifted back to his past life:
A cog in the machine, part of the endless grind of corporate life, dead before fifty from sudden cardiac arrest... Though calling it “sudden” wasn’t exactly right. Deep down, he’d seen it coming.
Too many all-nighters. Too much overtime. His heart would sometimes jolt out of rhythm—sharp, stabbing pains now and then.
Heart problems were no joke. He’d sensed so...

Now that he’d entered that door, he could correct his own form. With the support of his Innate Technique, his progress was both stable and fast.

When Sōjun Minamoto awakened his Innate Technique, he instinctively understood its ability—
Perfect Self-Control.
This control extended across the body, soul, and Cursed Energy.
It was a straightforward technique—simple, yet full of potential.
And of course, how far it could go depended entirely on the user.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a world filled with curses and death.
Negative emotions from humans give rise to Cursed Energy. When Cursed Energy accumulates, it manifests into Cursed Spirits. These spirits bring harm to society and cause human deaths, prompting the emergence of sorcerers who wield Cursed Energy to combat them.
In Japan, more than 10,000 unnatural deaths and disappearances occur each year. Most are the result of curses—negative emotions made manifest.
Nearly all humans...

Nagato almost thought the Two-Tails had been beaten senseless. How could it still be laughing?
But he felt no sympathy and still refused to give it a choice. He couldn't allow the Two-Tails to roam freely in the Land of Rain. It would be too unstable, introducing too many unpredictable variables.
Before his words had even finished, Nagato was already airborne.
