บท 9: Jujutsu Sorcerer Rankings

A week later, Eiji curiously checked the official Japanese Jujutsu website. He wasn't a Jujutsu Sorcerer yet and shouldn't have access, but who is Eiji? He's a core member of the Gojo Family! The bearer of Six Eyes and the user of Limitless Technique! Eiji was granted special privileges to create a Jujutsu website account early.

"With this, all my doubts are gone. Jujutsu Kaisen anime in Lin Fan's memory is real."

Previously, there was skepticism about whether Jujutsu Kaisen anime was genuinely the world he lived in. After seeing the news in front of him, Eiji fully believed.

On the site, the trending topic was the death of the Star Plasma Vessel. This news shocked the Japanese Jujutsu world, as this death would have a significant impact on Master Tengen.

"Tengen-sama is a Jujutsu Sorcerer with an incredibly long lifespan, even older than Sukuna and Kenjaku. Her longevity is due to her Cursed Technique, Immortality. Though it sounds good, it's not True Immortality. She will still experience aging. That's why the Star Plasma Vessel plays a crucial role for Tengen-sama, resetting her Cursed Technique every 500 years."

"If Tengen-sama doesn't join with the Star Plasma Vessel, her Cursed Technique will force her body to evolve. Tengen-sama's evolution has negative consequences for the Jujutsu world and humanity. One of them is the shield protecting the two Jujutsu high schools; it's her creation. Furthermore, the shield restricting the interaction between humans and Cursed Spirits is also her creation."

"If Tengen-sama evolves, her shields will shake or collapse, as her body has changed. This is very dangerous because humans and Cursed Spirits can meet, causing chaos."

"Well, I don't need to worry about Tengen-sama bringing disaster due to the failure to join the Star Plasma Vessel. Based on Lin Fan's memory, Tengen-sama is not a threat. In fact, she provided clues to free Satoru Nii-san from the Prison Realm."

Scrolling the mouse, Eiji read many comments about Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's failure to protect the Star Plasma Vessel. It was normal; people were worried that Master Tengen would evolve and endanger humanity. They weren't like Eiji, who knew the future.

Even if Eiji said that Master Tengen successfully maintained his sanity through sheer will to protect humanity, others wouldn't believe a 5-year-old's words, and he had no evidence to support his claim.

"Never mind. I don't need to provide any clarification. No matter what Jujutsu Sorcerers feel about this issue, it has nothing to do with me. My top priority is to grow before making my debut."

Taking a glass of milk prepared by Naomi on the table, Eiji drank it to grow up quickly.

Several months later, people began to forget about the Star Plasma Vessel issue. Regardless of who died, the earth kept turning, and the world kept going. Gojo Satoru was recognized as the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of the modern era after the Six Eyes' awakening. On the other side, Eiji continued his boring routine as usual. He used his free time at night to surf the internet on his smartphone.

This smartphone was a birthday gift from Naomi to Eiji.

"Sigh. It's unavoidable."

Lying on the bed while playing with his phone, Eiji read the trending topics.

Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer Geto Suguru was branded as a criminal. His crime was massacring the residents of an entire village.

Eiji had studied the knowledge of the Jujutsu world before starting his career as a Jujutsu Sorcerer.

There are seven Grades for Jujutsu Sorcerers.

Grade 4 is a ranking for Jujutsu Sorcerers considered weak and inexperienced.

Grade 3 is an average ranking occupied by Jujutsu Sorcerers, especially those still students.

Grade 2 is a ranking for Jujutsu Sorcerers not considered weak. If a student can reach this rank, they are deemed a Jujutsu Sorcerer genius. Moreover, they are allowed to undertake missions alone.

Semi Grade 1 is a ranking in between Grade 2 and Grade 1. Those who can achieve this rank have typically completed missions and received recommendations from Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers.

Grade 1 is one of the highest rankings achievable by Jujutsu Sorcerers. Those at this level are very powerful and capable of undertaking dangerous missions. Alongside the perilous missions, they also receive much larger rewards.

Special Grade 1 is a ranking referring to Jujutsu Sorcerers outside the school system (active Jujutsu Sorcerers without a ranking) whose strength is considered on par with Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers.

Finally, Special Grade is a ranking intended for anomalies in the Jujutsu community. It is reserved for Jujutsu Sorcerers with such immense power that their destructive potential cannot be measured, making them highly exclusive and unique, hence called 'special.'

"Setting aside Okkotsu Yuta, who is still a child like me, currently, there are only three Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers: Satoru Nii-san, Suguru-san, and Tsukumo Yuki."

"No wonder Suguru-san's betrayal caused a stir in the Jujutsu world."

"There are too many Grades in the Jujutsu Sorcerer ranking. I want to be like Yuta, instantly becoming Special Grade in one go. For that, I have to show my strength to earn that ranking."

Eiji could be considered a candidate for Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer. Moreover, he had Six Eyes and Limitless Technique with the blessing of superhuman physical abilities. If he couldn't achieve it, he'd be too useless.

.....

After his 5th birthday celebration, Eiji requested not to have it again.

He had informed Naomi, Satoru, Shoko, and some acquaintances about this.

At the age of 7, Eiji had completed high school-level studies. Perhaps due to the urgency after realizing how dangerous the future would be without power, his studies were a year ahead of the target he had set for himself.

After the head of the family received the news, he didn't immediately teach Eiji the unique Gojo Family Limitless Technique. Instead, he personally taught him basic Cursed Techniques. Simple Barriers, Curtains, and so on.

Thanks to Six Eyes, Eiji had perfect control over his Cursed Energy, and its expenditure was almost close to zero, so he never ran out of Cursed Energy, even though he had only half of his cousin's Cursed Energy.

He quickly mastered anything the head of the family taught him.

The head of the family was very satisfied with Eiji's progress. After there was nothing more to teach, he gave him a handbook on Limitless Technique.

"Thank you, head of the family. I won't let you down."

Holding the handbook tightly, Eiji couldn't wait to start learning.

"Um, I believe in your potential, Eiji. Don't rush it; if there's anything you don't understand, just ask Satoru."

"Understood. In that case, I'll take my leave."

Eiji bowed to the head of the family and then left the room.

"I wonder how far Eiji can master the Limitless Technique. Even for Satoru, he could only master Limitless and Cursed Speech; it was only after the awakening of Six Eyes that he could master the Red and Purple."

Stroking his long beard, the head of the family didn't hold high expectations for Eiji.

Even Satoru, born with Six Eyes and Limitless, had to go through an awakening to fully master the Limitless Technique.

On the other hand, Eiji was born with Six Eyes and Limitless, along with the Heavenly Restriction, blessed with superhuman physical abilities. His advantage lay in close combat.

However, the head of the family didn't expect Eiji to surpass his wildest imagination.
