11 Gojo Satoru’s Reminder

Winter has passed. Snow, frozen dew, and cold winds are gradually replaced by the warmth of spring. Then, summer arrives, and the sun shines bright and hot in the sky above and on the earth.

Gojo Family residence.

With a towel around his neck, Eiji walks to his room.

Along the way, the servants who see him will make way and bow as a sign of respect. In response, Eiji merely nods his head slightly.

Upon reaching his room, he opens the wardrobe, randomly selects clothes, and puts them on.

After that, he looks at himself in the mirror.

"By ordinary standards, my face falls into the handsome category." Eiji assesses himself in front of the mirror without a hint of pride.

At the age of 12, he stands at 154 cm, with white hair styled in an undercut. The beauty of the Six Eyes, resembling a cloudy blue sky, adds to his natural charm.

"Yo, Eiji! Long time no see, are you well?"

The door opens without a knock, and Satoru greets enthusiastically without any remorse.

"At least knock on the door, Satoru Nii-san." Eiji turns around and helplessly says.

"Don't worry about trivial things like that. I brought you some sweets from Kyoto, do you want them?"

"Yes."

Eiji nods, approaches Satoru, and extends his hand to take the gift. However, his hand seems to hit an invisible wall and cannot push any further.

"What is Satoru Nii-san doing?"

He furrows his brows at his cousin's action.

It's worth noting that when activating Infinity, the user can decide what can or cannot be touched. Satoru's actions are tantamount to signaling Eiji as a threat.

"Oh~, take it if you can." Satoru smiles playfully.

(Is he testing me? Fine, let's teach him a lesson.) Eiji thinks.

His right hand is shrouded in a generous amount of Cursed Energy, then it pierces through Satoru's Infinity, easily taking the gift from his hand.

"Whistle~, Amplification Domain. Smart plan."

With just a glance, Satoru understands Eiji's method of bypassing his Infinity.

By coating the user's body with the Inherited Domain, the user can neutralize Cursed Techniques and Domain Expansion. There are only a few Jujutsu Sorcerers who can use Amplification Domain.

Anyway, the main requirement to master Amplification Domain is the ability to use Domain Expansion.

Even among the first-grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, only a few can use Domain Expansion.

"Good job, Eiji. Not only did you master Domain Expansion, but you can also use Amplification Domain. I wonder how Jujutsu Sorcerers and elders will react when they find out about this."

Satoru messes up Eiji's hair.

"Don't treat me like a child. Also, I just combed my hair."

Eiji complains expressionlessly as he moves away.

"Ha ha ha... You say funny things. Twelve years old is still a child." Satoru laughs heartily.

Ignoring his teasing, Eiji asks, "So, did Satoru Nii-san come just to make fun of me?"

"Of course not. Besides, today is your debut. How could I not see you off?" Satoru says casually.

"Oh." Eiji nods.

"Uh, your reaction is so plain. At least show a touched expression."

Seeing him not responding, Satoru stops teasing.

"Alright, I just want to remind you of something."

"What is it?" Eiji asks.

"Well, considering your strength, I'm sure you'll easily exterminate Special Grade Cursed Spirits. Compared to Cursed Spirits, be cautious when dealing with humans; they are more cunning than Cursed Spirits." Satoru warns.

Previously, Eiji had applied for a promotion as a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer to Satoru.

As the current head of the Gojo family, Satoru has privileges in the Jujutsu world. He has the right to recommend Jujutsu Sorcerers for Special Grade ranking.

The proposal was quickly accepted by Jujutsu Higher-ups. The condition was for Eiji to prove himself by exterminating three Grade 1 Cursed Spirits and one Special Grade.

If Eiji succeeds, he will be recognized as the fourth Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.

"Understood."

Eiji, with Lin Fan's memories, naturally understands why his cousin is reminding him to be more cautious with humans than Cursed Spirits.

In the past, when Satoru was still a high school student, he was very confident in his abilities and reputation as a strong Jujutsu Sorcerer, believing that he was unbeatable. His opinions about others often based solely on his judgment of their strength, and he was quite apathetic towards anyone he considered weak. Moreover, due to his strong desire for power, Satoru was very arrogant, confident that he was the strongest in the world, which technically he was.

However, after his crushing defeat against Fushiguro Toji and the death of Amanai Riko, Satoru's attitude began to change.

He abandoned his old ways of arrogantly trusting himself rather than protecting the weak, realizing that the power he possessed made it his responsibility to protect those who couldn't fight for themselves and maintain the balance of the world.

Since then, Satoru has committed to protecting the lives of innocent people and becoming a Jujutsu Sorcerer not for the sake of being the strongest, but for the greater good and for humans who cannot defend themselves. He embarks on many dangerous missions without hesitation, no longer seeking fame or glory but focusing solely on defeating Cursed Spirits to protect humanity.

Eiji observes his cousin's shift from arrogance to being more approachable.

"Oh, right. If those old fogeys tell you something strange, just let me know. I'll teach them not to act high and mighty all day long."

Before leaving, Satoru gives one last piece of advice.

"Um."

Eiji understands who his cousin is referring to.

They are the conservative Jujutsu Higher-ups.

"I still have business to attend to. Good luck, Eiji."

Waving his hand, Satoru disappears.

Watching his departure, Eiji places the gift on the table and heads to the dining room for breakfast.

...

For the first time, Eiji steps through the gates of the Gojo Family residence.

In front of him stands a middle-aged man wearing glasses in an office worker uniform, and his expression seems bored.

"Hello, are you Kamikawa Eiji?"

The man takes a few steps forward and asks politely.

"Yes. That's me." Eiji replies, already aware of the other person's identity.

"Nice to meet you, Kamiki-san. My name is Ijichi Kiyotaka, the manager of Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High. I've been assigned as your supervisor for the Cursed Spirit extermination. Pleasure to meet you."

Seeing Ijichi extending his hand for a handshake, Eiji responds.

"Kamiki Eiji, nice to meet you." His introduction is very brief.

"Well then, please get into the car. I'll take you to the location."

"Okay."

Opening the front door, Eiji sits in the seat beside the driver's seat.

"Eh..."

Ijichi is slightly surprised to see this, not expecting Eiji to sit in the front.

"What?"

Eiji looks at him while still standing outside.

"Ah, nothing."

Dazzled by the Six Eyes, Ijichi regains awareness and quickly sits in the driver's seat. After that, the car drives away onto the road.

"Ummm... Kamiki-san, is it okay not to wear sunglasses or any eye cover?"

Ijichi glances at Eiji, who is supporting his cheek with his hand and looking out the window.

"Why? " Eiji asks without looking at Ijichi.

"I heard the Six Eyes are very tiring because they are always active, as much as Gojo-san always wears an eye cover. So, I thought..."

"It's okay. I have Heavenly Restriction with a superhuman physical blessing. My body is much stronger than Satoru Nii-san's, so the Six Eyes don't have much impact on me." Eiji explains briefly.

He discovered this fact when he started training the Limitless Technique. So, he doesn't need to suppress the Six Eyes with glasses or the like.

"So that's how it is."

Seeing that he's not interested in chatting, Ijichi stops talking and focuses on driving.
