54 Another Adventure
Eiji walked out of the portal, stumbling, holding his throbbing head.
"I pushed myself too hard..."
Taking out a folding chair from the Storage Ring, he quickly sat down.
There's a reason behind Eiji's current condition, and it's the excessive consumption of Cursed Energy.
Previously, he used the Maximum Technique twice in a row, and Azure consumed much more Cursed Energy than other Limitless Techniques.
Although the Six Eyes allowed Eiji to suppress the use of Cursed Energy almost to zero, it didn't apply to Azure. As a result, he felt nauseous and on the verge of vomiting.
"This time's journey, I gained nothing. On the contrary, I incurred losses."
Eiji began to evaluate his experiences during the week in another world.
While that world had magic that humans could learn, its potential wasn't too high. For him, he could defeat users of Written Style Summoning Magic before they even released a single incantation.
It's crucial to note that the future enemies Eiji would face are formidable figures like Kenjaku, Mahoraga, and Sukuna. Against them, even a second could determine victory or defeat.
Written Style Summoning Magic required several seconds to activate the incantation. It was a fatal weakness for individuals of Eiji's caliber, like Satoru, Sukuna, and Kenjaku.
The loss Eiji mentioned was the fact that he slaughtered the inhabitants of the capital of the Lydia Kingdom.
"Suguru-san is labeled a criminal for killing a village's residents, then what about me? My actions are more sinful than his. No doubt, if I do something like that in this world, the higher-ups would sentence me to execution."
Eiji had no doubt that the higher-ups would do this due to their corruption.
Lin Fan's memories of Jujutsu Kaisen were the best proof.
His cousin, Gojo Satoru became a teacher because the higher-ups were too corrupt to hold such positions.
Because no matter the issue, the solution was execution.
Starting from Yaga Masamichi, who was found to be able to create his own army of Cursed Corpses.
The solution was execution.
Geto Suguru, who happened to be sulking and accidentally restricted to one village.
The solution was execution.
Okkotsu Yuuta, who knew nothing and was haunted by Rikka.
The solution was execution.
Itadori Yuji, who accidentally ate Sukuna fingers.
The solution was execution.
"After the Shibuya Incident, the higher-ups used the sealed Satoru Nii-san in the Prison Realm, considering Satoru Nii-san and Suguru-san to be conspirators causing the Shibuya Incident. Because of this, anyone attempting to release the seal on Satoru Nii-san would be considered a conspirator. In fact, Choso shouted at Kenjaku as Kamo Noritoshi out of anger, heard by Yuji, Panda, students from Kyoto Jujutsu High, and Kusakabe. It's impossible for the higher-ups not to know the truth after the Shibuya Incident concluded."
"Not only that, the higher-ups made Principal Yaga a scapegoat for the Shibuya Incident. Moreover, Satoru Nii-san and Suguru-san were once his students. The real reason is they wanted him to surrender the method of creating Cursed Corpses."
"After Satoru Nii-san is sealed, the political power of the Gojo Family in the Jujutsu World will weaken drastically and become a target for the higher-ups and the Zenin Family. Unfortunately, the Zenin Family ended up being destroyed by Zenin Maki, whom they deemed useless."
The Gojo Family and the Zenin Family couldn't reconcile and had been hostile for several eras due to the battles between the heads of the Gojo and Zenin Families until death in the past.
"The corrupt higher-ups, Sukuna being too OP, Kenjaku being good at hiding. This problem makes me uneasy."
Closing his eyes, Eiji sighed tiredly, unknowingly falling asleep due to overthinking.
....
When Eiji opened his eyes, orange light illuminated the warehouse.
"It's already evening, huh."
Checking the time on his phone, it was currently 5:55 PM.
He no longer felt dizzy; his Cursed Energy was fully replenished, and his mind was refreshed after sleep.
"Let's eat something."
Taking out a portable cooking set from the Storage Ring, Eiji boiled water and poured it into a cup of instant noodles.
After waiting a few minutes, the noodles were cooked. Then, he started eating.
Eiji couldn't cook other than noodles and water. After all, he was one of the young masters of the Gojo Family; his basic needs were taken care of by servants, or he bought food outside with his generous salary as a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Moreover, he didn't consider cooking skills as important. For him, instant noodles were more than enough as a meal.
He wasn't a picky eater and could eat anything.
Instant noodles were easy to cook, and the cooking time was very short. Therefore, instant noodles had always been a convenient food for Eiji if he was too lazy to find food outside.
While others might fear the dangers of eating instant noodles every day, it didn't apply to him.
The Heavenly Restriction granted him superhuman physical abilities in all aspects, including metabolism and endurance. So, Eiji could eat instant noodles without worrying about any side effects.
"..."
After finishing his dinner, Eiji shot a fireball into the trash and burned it into ashes.
"Let's do it again. There are still three months before Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High starts. At least, I have to learn another power system, or I won't be at ease."
Eiji stood up and did some light stretching.
Although he knew the future thanks to Lin Fan's memories, he didn't consider it absolute.
He believed that his birth as the bearer of the Six Eyes and the Heavenly Restriction had altered the direction of the future.
Kenjaku was a manipulator who trapped Satoru in the Prison Realm. He might have prepared a similar method to deal with Eiji. Moreover, he had lost twice against the bearer of the Six Eyes in the past. So, he was much more cautious and wouldn't appear in front of the bearer of the Six Eyes without a high percentage of winning.
Eiji was also vigilant against Kenjaku and always kept an eye on his surroundings.
It's okay to use Lin Fan's memories as a reference, but don't blindly trust and think everything will happen as in the plot.
Everyone in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen is a living being with a mind, not just anime characters arranged by the author. At least, Eiji considered everyone he encountered as real, not fiction.
Facing unexpected situations, it's impossible for Kenjaku not to do anything.
Therefore, Eiji was very obsessed with seeking powers other than Cursed Techniques.
"I'm in prime condition. Let's start."
After checking his normal body, Eiji mobilized a large amount of Cursed Energy.
"Cursed Technique Lapse — Maximum Output: Azure."
The space in front of him distorted as a blue portal appeared. After that, Eiji walked into the portal, and it disappeared after his departure.
The next adventure in another world begins!
