Ray

Ray was the anomaly of the world. He knew about that. He had experienced death. He was from the earth, a different kind of earth. There is no supernatural force like this one.

He expected his life to be normal since he didn't he would be reincarnated into a world of jujutsu. His parents were busy with their company. He was mostly alone but he liked it.

But that normal changed when he started seeing a glimpse of curses. And he began to notice the immense energy inside his body. At age 7, he unlocked his talent for jujutsu.

He awakened his cursed techniques. With the help of his parents, he enrolled in the Tokyo Jujutsu High. That is when he realized, his parents were the sponsor of the school.

There was a sorcerer bloodline in the family tree. His father said it was a very small chance but awakening cursed techniques could be possible.

Ray was dumbfounded at first. Encountering the crazy things, he was curious about the power he carried. So since the moment he awakened his cursed techniques, he began to study jujutsu.

He knew about this world. He has seen the anime but he didn't know the ending. He could easily fly to another country and live there but he didn't. He wanted to experience the life of a sorcerer.

Gojo clapped his hands, bringing the attention to himself. " You heard about the match between Kotyo? "

All four of them nodded.

" I don't think Ray would be participating in the tournament. " Gojo announced.

" Huh! Why? "

" The higher up deemed you to be too strong for the students. And it is not fair for them to fight for a future special grade in the start, right? "

" But without him, he won't have firepower in our team. " Maki said. Although she and Ray didn't get along for some reason, she knew about his strength.

Gojo shook his head, " We got Hakari. That should be enough. And we will have another person in the group. "

" Who? "

Gojo laughed, " It is a secret for now. Anyway, I am here to talk about that. So train harder. Don't always depend on Ray. "

Ray smiled and threw a glance at Maki. She grinded.

" And Ray, come with me. "

Ray nodded and followed Gojo. They walked silently for a while. " They are afraid of my cursed techniques, right? "

Ray broke the silence. Gojo nodded. " With your cursed energy manipulation along you could attack all the students with ease. "

Ray sighed. " It is not like I asked to be born with the overpowered cursed techniques. "

His cursed technique is manipulation. It didn't have any limit to the things he could manipulate. But he needed cursed energy to do so. And he had to form restrictions when using the object he desired to manipulate.

For example, if he wanted to make a candle fire light in the water, he had to sacrifice the normal output of fire. The candle would burn an hour in the air but with his manipulation, he can make the candle burn for about thirty minutes in the water.

So he mainly focused on using his cursed technique on the cursed energy. Like changing the substance and weight.

He knew that it was not the reason, they were afraid of the technique. Gojo knew as well.

His heavenly restriction. In exchange for seeing cursed energy at the molecular level, the sacrifice was his physical state.

Without cursed energy reinforcement, he could be crushed with a normal punch. His vision didn't grant him invincible but he could be at that level with enough time.

" I got a mission for you. " Gojo said, guiding the conversation.

" You will be the teacher of Megumi. " Gojo smiled, patting Ray's shoulder. " The higher-up gave you this mission because you are the most qualified person to teach him. "

Ray looked at Gojo. " Serious, that is your best idea. "

" I will give you pocket money. "

" My family made the sorcerer work. "

Gojo laughed. " Don't be stubborn. I knew you wanted to take a break. "

Ray sighed. " I will. And what are you planning to do about Yuta? "

" Introduce him to the school. "

Ray nodded. He had tired of looking out for Yuta. And he knew that Yuta would be key in the future. He just didn't know how it would fit.

***

Waiting in the cafe, Ray played with the cursed energy. He shaped cursed energy into various things. He made them hard like a diamond and soft like a slime. He even added traits like electricity and fire.

He wanted to make reverse cursed techniques but was unable to do so.

I wished I had some soul-destroying techniques. With that, I could kill Mahito.

He signed took out a sweet and threw it into the mouth. The Paradise event will start in a few months. He believed he could survive the event with ease but the problem with come in the future.

With him being the centre of the world, along with Rika. Geto would surely make a plan for him.

There goes my future knowledge.

As he was daydreaming, a finger sat in front of him. His sense picked up an unknown cursed energy trait from the man.

" It is bold of you. " Ray said.

Geto smiled. " Well, there is not much space in the cafe so excuse my rude behaviour. " He waved at the waitress and ordered milk.

" You better hurry to drink the milk. I got a man on your seat. "

" How kind of you. " Geto smiled. His eyes were shining looking at Ray.

" Hey, don't you want to join my plan? "

Ray stopped Geto from speaking further. He already where it is going.

But why did he come to me?

" No. "

Geto nodded and lay back in the chair. " I don't think you have experienced the nature of a sorcerer. This path leads to the pool of blood. "

" I can stop that from happening. "

"You believe in your strength? " Geto asked.

Ray nodded.

Geto laughed. That's where you are wrong, sorcerer. Strength didn't stop everything.

" Well, it is a failure. I thought I had a shot. Anyway, see you later. " Geto said goodbye and he left the cafe.

Ray sighed. That is weird.
