"You two sisters really have a great relationship, it's just a bit awkward. If you love soone, just say it out loud and be straightforward, like ."
Kael rested his chin on his hand, looking at Zenin Maki sitting in front of him. She hadn't yet shaken off the emotions from eting her younger sister just now, and her concentration was a bit lapsed.
"You're just lusting after my body,"
Zenin Maki looked down at the hand resting on her thigh, her tone slightly helpless.
"That is also love; they aren't mutually exclusive."
Kael smiled.
"You don't understand the situation between us. Mai, she..."
Zenin Maki didn't know how to continue. When it ca down to it, she really had left her sister behind in the Zenin Clan and run away alone.
Although she had her own reasons and thoughts, the fact of abandonnt truly existed.
"Leave this to . I'll make you sisters open your hearts to each other."
Kael patted his chest, volunteering himself, while his mind raced with a hundred different ways to win them over.
"Don't you dare interfere in the business between and her."
Zenin Maki looked at the enthusiastic Kael and had a very bad feeling.
"We're all family, don't be so polite."
Kael gave Zenin Maki a reproachful look.
"I'm not being polite!"
Zenin Maki grabbed Kael's increasingly restless hand, slamd it hard onto the table, and stood up, continuing.
"Co out, let's have another practice session!"
"What a hardworking girl, I like it."
Kael followed with a positive attitude; training girls was always much more interesting than training boys.
Afterward, he could even help Zenin Maki with so blood-circulating massage to heal her bruises.
This was Kael's favorite part.
...
...
"The aura of a Cursed Spirit has appeared at the Cinema. The Higher-ups have assigned this mission to you. All the detailed report information is right here... um, Kael-kun, could you please listen to seriously?"
Ijichi asked cautiously.
The Kael in front of him wasn't just ignoring him; it was as if he didn't even exist. From the mont he entered until now, Kael hadn't even lifted an eyelid, flipping through the latest model magazine in his hands.
Inside were mostly tall Western models with great figures.
This was a tribute previously handed over by Todo Aoi as an apology for his crushing defeat last ti.
"Kael-kun."
Ijichi took another step forward, hunching his shoulders and tucking his neck like a bullied little daughter-in-law.
Being caught between Jujutsu High and the Higher-ups, wasn't he just there to be bullied?
"I say, do the Higher-ups not have any other liaisons? Knowing we don't get along, couldn't they send soone young and beautiful? If the surface-level effort was there, it's not like I couldn't deal with you guys for a bit."
Kael finally finished admiring the magazine and handed it to the long-waiting Itadori Yuji beside him.
"Er, I will report your request to the Higher-ups, but as for this incident..."
Ijichi gave a sheepish smile.
Inwardly, he couldn't help but roar.
(If soone really wanted to swap shifts with , I'd be more than happy! After serving you people from the high school, he'd have to turn around and serve the Higher-ups. Who the hell would want this job?!)
"Then why don't you just quit?"
Kael looked straight at Ijichi, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the other's inner thoughts.
"..."
Ijichi swallowed hard, a terrifying thought popping into his head.
Could this person actually be a mind reader?
"What do you think?"
Kael asked back.
He wasn't actually a mind reader in the literal sense.
It was just that his current ntal strength was too powerful. For soone like Ijichi, whose willpower wasn't firm enough, his thought fluctuations were too obvious. Even just by looking at the other's facial features, Kael could tell what he was thinking.
"Please don't scare , I'm just a worker."
Ijichi didn't dare think anything else now. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he spoke in fear and trepidation.
"If you want to work, the money must be sufficient first. This is what I need."
Kael tore off a slip of paper with a list of items he had written down. The materials needed for cursed tool research were by no ans few.
As per his routine, he needed to find himself a sucker.
Did those old fogies in the Higher-ups really care about so Cursed Spirit?
No, what they wanted was to gather more intelligence and data on Kael to prepare for the inevitable future conflict.
One Gojo Satoru was already enough of a headache for the Higher-ups to fear. If another Heavenly Restriction were to "collude" with him, they really wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
The title of Sorcerer Killer carried quite a bit of deterrent power.
"I will convey this to the Higher-ups..."
As Ijichi spoke, his eyes kept darting toward the materials in his hand, his intention being all too obvious.
"I'm not in the habit of taking things handed to by others."
Kael said, looking at Itadori Yuji, mimicking the way Tony spoke.
"Eh? Big Bro, didn't you look pretty happy taking that magazine from Todou just now?"
Itadori Yuji sotis lacked a bit of situational awareness.
Well, after taking a slap to the head, he cleared up quite a bit and imdiately reached out to take the intelligence materials Ijichi was offering.
With that, this bullied workhorse could finally consider his job done.
...
...
Kael's demands weren't low and didn't match the mission's difficulty assessnt, but the Jujutsu World Higher-ups ultimately chose to satisfy them.
Showing goodwill to win him over was one aspect, but more importantly, compared to the centuries of accumulation the Higher-ups possessed, what Kael wanted really wasn't much.
"Aren't Big Bro and I enough for this mission?"
After hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Itadori Yuji looked at Kael beside him and then pointed at his own nose.
With this team lineup, even exorcising a Special Grade Cursed Spirit would be more than enough.
Having just one of him for the atmosphere was enough!
"In terms of strength, it's definitely enough, but your experience in exorcising Cursed Spirit is still too little. It's always good to have a senior give so pointers."
As he spoke, Gojo Satoru led the two of them to a man in a sharp suit who looked like a typical corporate drone.
"This is a junior I trust very much, a Jujutsu Sorcerer who refused to be a salaryman, Nanami Kento!"
Gojo Satoru warmly and familiarly put his arm around Nanami Kento, introducing him to Kael and Itadori.
"This senior looks way too old. I'd believe it if you said he was Teacher Gojo's teacher."
Kael gave a reasonable evaluation.
"True."
Itadori Yuji agreed with Kael's assessnt.
Wait?
Big Bro, why did you say what was in my heart out loud?
Itadori Yuji's expression stiffened for a mont. He stole a glance at Nanami Kento, and seeing his unchanging face, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha~ Even fifty years from now, I, your teacher, will definitely still be this handso and dashing. That's not sothing just anyone can learn."
Gojo Satoru took Kael's words as a complint to himself.
"If you worked a job for a few years, you'd end up like this too."
Nanami Kento did not agree with Gojo Satoru's words.
"Is working a job that scary? Suddenly, I don't have much to look forward to regarding graduation."
Itadori Yuji rubbed his arms, unable to imagine himself turning into soone like Nanami Kento.
"That's the right way to think. Whether it's working a job or being a Jujutsu Sorcerer, it's all the sa shit!!"
The resentnt coming off Nanami Kento was almost overflowing; soone who didn't know better would think a Cursed Spirit was about to erge.
"What a gloomy man."
Itadori Yuji whispered to Kael.
"You're right about that."
Kael nodded.
"Since it's all shit, why wouldn't I choose the one I'm more suited for?"
Nanami Kento then stated his reason for returning to the Jujutsu world and followed up by saying frankly:
"Also, please do not think I am on the sa side as Mr. Gojo. I trust him, but I do not respect him. I hate the ways of the Higher-ups, but I stand on the side of the rules."
To translate: he was a moderate who preferred the status quo.
This was also what most Jujutsu Sorcerers thought.
After all, while the Jujutsu World Higher-ups were sowhat corrupt and decadent, it hadn't reached an unbearable level yet.
No one knew if Gojo Satoru's revolution would drag the Jujutsu world into an abyss. In a state of uncertainty, maintaining the status quo was the preferred choice for most.
It wasn't like they couldn't just scrape by.
However, these kinds of people generally wouldn't hinder Gojo Satoru, and in so cases, they could even cooperate.
Just like the current situation.
...
...
Nanami Kento brought Kael and Itadori to the cri scene.
From the wounds on the victims, the perpetrator indeed had little to do with being human.
Furthermore, there were still traces left by Cursed Spirit in the theater—residue that was thinner than Cursed Energy and harder to observe.
Nanami Kento didn't look like an easy person to get along with, but as a senior, he was dedicated enough, putting effort into teaching Itadori Yuji how to beco a qualified Jujutsu Sorcerer.
As for Kael, Nanami Kento's attention was much less focused on him.
On one hand, both were First Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, so he couldn't exactly take the attitude of a senior.
On the other hand, Kael's situation was different from ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers. Nanami Kento didn't know if his experience would be of any use to Kael, so he simply chose to say less to avoid mistakes.
The three followed the residue all the way to the rooftop.
"It's going to rain."
Kael looked up at the weather, murmured a sentence, and took a step back to hide under the eaves.
The rain began to pitter-patter down.
"Those two are all yours. Good luck; it's ti to test the results of your training."
Kael spoke up.
"What?"
Itadori Yuji was stunned for a mont.
A mont later, he noticed the two Cursed Spirit hiding on the rooftop.
"Lu... lu... lunch..."
"So... so great... laundry detergent..."
The two bizarrely shaped Cursed Spirit made indistinct sounds.
The battle ended quickly.
These two Cursed Spirit were at most Third-Grade level. If it weren't for the sake of observing Itadori Yuji's level, Nanami Kento could have finished them all off in a single encounter.
And even during the battle, he didn't forget to teach, revealing his Cursed Technique.
This was a very common tactic in Jujutsu Sorcerer battles.
By using a "Binding Vow" of self-revelation, one could enhance the power of their technique.
After all, the techniques of most famous Jujutsu Sorcerers were already well-known; whether they revealed them or not didn't make much difference.
And when facing Cursed Spirit with little capacity for rational thought, even if they knew the effect of the technique, they wouldn't know how to exploit it.
Itadori Yuji's performance indeed did not disappoint his expectations.
Under the special training of Kael and Gojo Satoru during this period, he had already mastered a martial art developed based on the characteristics of his own Cursed Energy.
Divergent Fist, a combination of physical force and Cursed Energy that could deliver a double blow to the opponent.
By utilizing the original drawback of slow Cursed Energy release and fully playing to his physical advantages, Gojo Satoru could indeed occasionally live up to the title of teacher.
However, before Nanami Kento had ti to offer a word of praise, he noticed sothing strange about these two Cursed Spirit, and his expression suddenly beca solemn.
"Wait, Itadori, these two Cursed Spirit aren't right."
"What do you an by that?"
Before Itadori Yuji could figure it out, he heard Kael follow up with a sentence.
"By the looks of it, they should be human."
Kael walked out holding an umbrella, crouched in front of the dead Cursed Spirit, and after observing carefully for a while, continued.
"To be precise, they were originally human."
"Are you saying... I killed people?"
The light slowly faded from Itadori Yuji's eyes.
Killing soone with his own hands was still too impactful for a high school student.
"You didn't kill them; you helped set them free. Does it make it easier to accept if I put it that way?"
Kael offered a word of comfort, but the effect seed diocre.
Itadori Yuji still looked like he found it hard to accept.
Seeing this, Kael shrugged at Nanami Kento.
Since he had embarked on the path of a Jujutsu Sorcerer, he had to learn to get used to taking the lives of others. If he didn't have that kind of resolve, it was better to leave sooner rather than later.
Of course, if the one standing in front of Kael wasn't Itadori Yuji but a female version of him, Kael would have a completely different attitude. He had always been biased toward won and kept public and private matters blurred.
"There are traces of technique residue on the brainstem. It seems the culprit didn't just twist their bodies but also blurred their consciousness."
Kael fiddled with the corpses in front of him and gave a preliminary judgnt.
"You even know about this?"
Nanami Kento increasingly felt that Kael was extraordinary. Even for a First Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, without specialized training or talent, it would be difficult to possess such subtle observational skills.
"Is this difficult?"
Kael stood up calmly and gave Itadori Yuji a kick, jolting him out of his daze.
"Now is not the ti for self-pity. If you want to shut yourself off, do it after we've caught the culprit."
"...You're right, Big Bro."
Itadori Yuji cheered up sowhat. The best way to get over emotional distress was to find sothing to do.
Seeing this, Nanami Kento breathed a slight sigh of relief and took out his phone to dial a number.
"Shoko, I have two special corpses here..."
Halfway through the call, Nanami Kento saw Kael standing in front of him, reaching out toward him.
Nanami Kento didn't react at first until Kael pointed at his phone. Only then did he realize what the other wanted. Although puzzled, he still handed over the phone.
"Dr. Shoko, hello. I'm Kael, a first-year student. I've been wanting to et you for a while..."
"..."
After a bit of discussion and exchange, Kael remarked with feeling.
"What a gentle older sister. I heard Shoko is currently still single, right?"
"..."
No, what are you trying to do, hey?!
The eyes behind Nanami Kento's sunglasses couldn't stop twitching.
