3 Sorting Memories and Planning
'How do I access my Status?'
[You can mentally say 'Status' or speak with your mouth. You can also access it from the Menu.]
'Menu?'
[Menu:
1. Status
2. Quests
3. Gacha - 10
4. Rewards]
Clicking on Status, displayed a bit of information.
[Name: Mai Zenin
Physique: Mid-Grade 4
C.E Capacity: Low-Grade 3
C.E Output: Immeasurable{A/N: Read below to understand what this is in case you don't know.}
Traits:
[Superior Psyche] [Godly Soul] [Danger Sense] [Exceptional Memory] [Strong Will]...
Skills/Abilities:
[Construction] - Amateur
[Shooting] - Advanced
[C.E Control] - Amateur
[Focus] - Master
[Hand-to-Hand Combat] - Intermediate
...]
[Note: I included skills and traits from his past life, in case you were wondering. They are created from what I've seen in the anime. Saiki could naturally keep up with his brother's antics and sometimes or many times outwit him with light usage or no usage of powers. And remember, his brother had an IQ of 218.]
------------
'Explain about grading and the skill levels.'
[Physique and C.E Capacity are divided from Grade 4 to Special Grade in increasing order which are then again divided into Low, Mid, and High.
So, a total of 15 levels from Low-Grade 4 to High-Special Grade.]
[Above these is 'Immeasurable.' To quantify it, the current System would need more Statistics and an Upgrade.]
[Grade 4 represents humans and going up and up, Grade 1 represents the peak of a Jujutsu sorcerer.]
[C.E Output refers to how much C.E you can release at once.]
[Traits are what it says literally. They are usually innate but one can gain new traits in extreme conditions.]
[For skill levels, there are 10 levels:
Beginner->Novice->Amateur->Intermediate->Advanced->Adept->Expert->Master->Grandmaster->Transcendent
Transcendent is the epitome. It is nigh-impossible to reach.]
After looking through the Status, it gave Mai some answers.
Grade 4 was the realm of average humans.
Grade 3 was the realm of peak humans to average sorcerers.
Grade 2 was the realm of good sorcerers.
Grade 1 was that of great sorcerers.
Above that was the realm of anomalies.
'Alright, I'll check the other functions in the Menu later.'
First, he needed to reassess his thoughts properly and come up with a plan of action.
~~~~
Thinking for some time and remembering everything he knew, some things were cleared out. Firstly, it is the 3rd week of August. That means Itadori should've completed his training and either was performing that Mahito mission or should've completed it.
There are 10 days till the Goodwill event begins.
He watched the 1st season completely and read a few upcoming chapters of the manga. Most of it was the past of Gojo and Geto.
What he knows is that the Geto or whoever is in Geto is planning to seal Gojo in something called Prison Realm. Anything beyond that was not known.
There was also that Tengen-sama who was never shown till where he read the manga.
Gojo suspected that there was someone from the Jujutsu High's side teaming up with the curses.
'My best option is to inform Gojo about what I know.' There would be no suspicions if proper Binding vows are placed.
Still, Mai decided to do nothing and only decided to act after confirming everything. For all we know, Gojo might be evil or that Geto look-alike might be a savior.
'If everything looks like it's the same as in the anime, only then I will ask for others' help.'
Right now, Mai had these main goals: Get strong, know about the world, and CHANGE BACK TO A MAN!
Even though it might be hard, with Gacha, it should not be impossible.
"Still, my personality was much more shitty than I imagined." Recalling her personality change after Maki left, and she got dragged in because of her, she felt embarrassed.[A/N: I put a 'she' while referring to Mai here because it was a flashback. It won't keep happening.]
Remembering Maki and the rest of the family, all Mai felt was disappointment now.
"No. They are no longer family now." Mai said to himself.
Maybe not Maki. But the lingering hatred towards her was still there. Even though the promise they made was when they were kids, Mai only had Maki as someone who she truly cared for.
When she broke the promise and left, not only did Mai feel lied to but also the fact she had to be dragged into the sorcery mess because of Maki made her feel even more spiteful.
'I guess this was the reason for the personality shift.' Even then, thinking properly, Maki did what she did because her position in the clan was much worse than Mai's. Despite that,
"I won't feel satisfied until I punch a few times in her face," Mai said out loud.
-------------
After sorting his thoughts, Mai recalled. Today, he was supposed to go exorcise some cursed spirits at Osaka. Looking at the time, it was 8 AM.
'I have 30 minutes left.' He quickly got ready, even though it felt a bit uncomfortable in a woman's body.
'It's not like this is the first time.' Whenever there was a free buffet for high school girls, he used to change himself into a girl and snuck in with other girls for sweets and cakes.
As he was almost ready, he heard a knock at the door.
"Mai-san, are you ready?" It was the voice of a fellow classmate, Kasumi Miwa.
"Yeah. I'm done. I'll meet you at the entrance gate."
Taking the revolver, and the bullets required, Mai left. It was time for some exorcising.
The Kyoto Jujutsu school was pretty much the same as the one of Tokyo's shown in the anime. Except it was much smaller.
At the entrance gate, Miwa and Mechamaru were present along with the manager.
"Good Morning, Mai-san." Miwa greeted herself politely. Damn, she was a kindhearted and hard-working girl. She shouldn't be here in this shitty Jujutsu world.
"Good Morning, Kasumi, Mechamaru." Mai had to act a bit feminine.
"Good Morning. Now let's go. It's going to be an hour-long drive." After greeting the manager, all of us took the car. On the way, the manager explained what the problem was.
As I kept an eye on the explanation, I started looking at the rest of the system.
'Can I see the descriptions of Skills and Traits?'
[Yes]
[Traits:
Superior Psyche: A psyche and mind highly superior to others. Has expansive mental capabilities and is extremely hard to be influenced by external factors. Has a few more benefits.
Godly Soul: A soul superior and very strong compared to others. Has high resistance towards external spiritual attacks. Makes you more sensitive to spiritual presence. Has a few more benefits.
...]
[Skills:
Construction(Amateur): The innate technique of Mai Zenin. Utilizes Cursed Energy to create something out of nothing. It is considered an incomplete technique because of the massive cost of Cursed Energy required to use the technique.
Shooting(Advanced): Using long-range weapons that require a level of accuracy and precision. Includes bow and arrows, firearms, etc.
Focus(Master): The general ability to focus on a situation or a phenomenon or an action. Higher the level, the higher the probability of gaining enlightenment or a higher understanding of a skill. This skill is hard to obtain and extremely hard to increase its level.
C.E Control(Amateur): Cursed Energy Control shows your use of Cursed Energy with your mind, body, and soul. Higher level helps in faster growth of Cursed Techniques, Barrier Techniques, C.E Enhancement, Reverse Cursed Techniques, etc.
...]
'So this energy that I feel in the gut is supposed to be Cursed Energy. It feels like an untamed dog. Or like electricity.'
But this wasn't a problem for him who had to tame his wild powers from birth. Tens to hundreds of powers on a planetary scale. He spent a lot of time and focus on suppressing, controlling, and taming them. Even though he was never able to do it, it was still a lot of practice.
Comparing Cursed Energy to his past life's powers was like comparing a wild dog to an overexcited hyena. Putting his mind to it, he felt as if he could easily increase his control over it. But he didn't try.
Right now, he was with others in this car. Others would easily notice the changes.
'Why are there 10 Gacha already present?'
[They are present as a starting gift. Apparently, that is the norm.]
'What? You know what? I'll stop questioning it. Is there any problem if I roll those Gacha here or should I be in a private place?'
[You can do it anywhere without a problem. Any reward you receive will be metaphysically present in the System and you can take it out in the form of a card.
Remember though, you cannot transform the reward back into a card once you've used it.]
'Alright then. I feel good. So, let's roll them.'
[Rolling 10 Gacha at once will give you 1 guaranteed good reward. Meaning it will be something you want or need.]
'Then do that.'
[Rolling...]
[You have received the following.]
[1. Purple Smoke Bombs(Naruto) x 10
2. Cursed Energy Pills x 5
3. Toriko Burger(Toriko) x 2
4. Revy's Twin Beretta 92FS(Black Lagoon)
5. Takada-chan's 1st Event Autograph
6. Rotten Blue Cheese 4oz
7. Gender Bender Potion(Terraria)
8. Skill Modifier
9. Sandai Kitetsu(One Piece)
10. Gojo Satoru's Sunglasses]
'Holy Shit. I guess the first time is a bit special.' Mai already got one of the important things. The Gender Bender Potion. Even though he continued living normally, it was bugging him very much living like a female.
You don't just change your gender and act like it's nothing.
For the other rewards, some were useful and some were not.
[Purple Smoke Bombs: Bombs when smashed against a hard surface cause them to release purple-colored dense smoke that impedes vision.]
[Cursed Energy Pills: Increases Cursed Energy reserves by a Grade 4's worth temporarily after consumption. Slightly increases Cursed Energy Reserves permanently.
Note: Using these on Cursed Spirits can increase a Cursed Spirit's strength temporarily by a lot.]
Mai looking at these had already been making plans.
'But what is that Skill Modifier?' Just as he was about to look at it, someone was calling him/her.
"-i"
"-ai"
"Mai!" Mechamaru shouted and brought Mai back from his thoughts.
"What?" he was startled and asked back.
"You look different. Is there something wrong?" Mechamaru asked in a robotic voice.
"I also think so. Did something happen, Mai-san?" Miwa asked worriedly tilting her head.
"Sorry. I feel like something bad is going to happen." Mai said already planning on how to change his gender without getting under suspicion.
"What do you mea-?" Mechamaru was about to ask but the manager interrupted.
"Don't worry, you kids. The Elementary School is abandoned and there are only Grade 3 or Grade 4 curses present. Do you think we'll put much pressure on you a week before the Goodwill Event?" he said.
"That's true, Mai-san. We'll complete it quickly and have some nice takoyaki on the way back." Miwa said trying to reassure him.
"I hope so, Mitarai-san." Mai replied to the manager while sighing.
Once again, it became silent. Mai went back to looking at what he got from Gacha.
[Skill Modifier:
You can modify any skill or ability to an extent. The more the number of Skill Modifiers, the more you can modify the skill.
-It is to be noted that modifications in the Skill must pertain to that skill.
-Any change in the Skill or Ability might reset the mastery of the skill depending on the change.]
'I guess I'm really lucky today.' When he saw his Innate Technique and its drawbacks, he already had ideas. Hopefully, they'll work. But that was for later.
'Open up the Quests tab.'
[Quests:
Open Quests:
1. Kill 10000 Grade 4 Cursed Spirits
2. Kill 1000 Grade 3 Cursed Spirits
3. Kill 100 Grade 2 Cursed Spirits
4. Kill 10 Grade 1 Cursed Spirits
5. Kill a Special Grade Cursed Spirit
6. Perform a Black Flash
7. Defeat a Special Grade Sorcerer
8. Defeat 5 Grade 1 Sorcerers
9. Become a Grade 1 Sorcerer
...]
There were different Quests like Open Quests, Mandatory Quests, Personal Quests, Storyline Quests, etc. But the gist was like this,
[Perform a Black Flash:
Using a Black Flash separates a great sorcerer from a good sorcerer. Perform a Black Flash to show your superiority.
Bonus Quest: Perform more than one Black Flash within the 5 minutes after you perform your 1st Black Flash.
Reward: 5 Gacha Rolls
Bonus Reward: You get an extra Gacha Roll for every extra Black Flash.]
This gave a proper idea about the System. As Mai was looking at the System, they all reached the Osaka city. The change in scenery caused Mai to look outside.
As someone with supernatural senses, the presence around them had changed. Even though Kyoto was a city, it had quite a contrast compared to ever-bustling Osaka and Tokyo. He could feel the increase in cursed energy around him.
Soon, they reached their destination.
