Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit
Chapter 11 Restraint
"Mr. Ichiro, I call ordinary people who cannot use curses monkeys. Monkeys have different roles. Some monkeys are used to raise money, and some monkeys are used to collect curses. I apologize to you again for what happened last night, Mr. Ichiro. This was a misunderstanding."
Inside the restaurant, Lin Yi, having deactivated his transformation, sat there eating heartily, listening to Xia Youjie share his views on ordinary people.
He wasn't interested in Xia Youjie's self-justifying explanation; no matter what the other party said, it couldn't change the dark history of how Xia Youjie's mentality had been shattered by a completely powerless tyrant.
If it weren't for the fact that fighting these guys would be too troublesome and would attract the attention of the official jutsu world, including the strongest jutsu master of the modern era, Gojo Satoru, he wouldn't have bothered listening to this guy's long-winded talk.
"So in your opinion, sorcerers should be superior to ordinary people, right?"
"Isn't this just the obvious thing, Mr. Ichiro?"
"Then I'll describe it according to your logic. You call ordinary people monkeys, so that's your opinion. But I'm just curious, if the era you want, where everyone in the world is a sorcerer, comes, who will do all these things? You or me? Or other weak sorcerers?"
Lin Yi wiped his mouth, pointed to the various facilities inside the restaurant and the shops and buildings outside, and asked Xia Youjie a question.
Xia Youjie's expression froze.
"After all, humans and monkeys live in different worlds. If monkeys want to live in the human world, they can only live in zoos or pet stores. If you want to end the era of monkeys and create an era for new humans who are sorcerers, then the work that these ordinary people who are called monkeys in your eyes will have to be done by sorcerers. By the way, the cell phone that your daughter is using now was also invented by monkeys. How sad, Xia Youjie, you who call yourself a new human are actually using a monkey's creation."
It must be said that Lin Yi is indeed quite talented in sharp-tongued remarks. With just a few words, he exposed the flaws in Xia Youjie's logic of prioritizing sorcerers.
Especially when Lin Yi pointed out that the cell phone Xia Youjie's adopted daughter was playing with was invented by an ordinary person, it was a devastating blow. All the details that Xia Youjie deliberately avoided and ignored were exposed by Lin Yi.
This is also the biggest problem with Xia Youjie's logic of prioritizing sorcerers.
Japan is the epicenter of magical power worldwide, with a population of over 100 million. However, despite this unique advantage, the entire Japanese magical world, including all the large and small magical families, only has a few hundred or a thousand magical practitioners.
There are only so few Japanese sorcerers who exist within the vortex of magical power, and the number of sorcerers born in other countries and regions is even smaller.
And here you are telling me you want to create a world where only sorcerers exist? The current global sorcerer population is questionable; even if you were to reproduce like crazy, how many offspring of sorcerers with innate magical abilities could you possibly produce?
It's also worth mentioning here that in this world where everyone possesses magical power, the birth of a sorcerer depends 80% on whether one's paternal or maternal ancestors were sorcerers. If your ancestors or parents were not sorcerers, you cannot be a sorcerer.
Even if your parents are sorcerers, you may not become a sorcerer yourself. You might become an ordinary person without any spells, but who can use a small amount of magical power.
Therefore, the profession of sorcerer is a group that depends entirely on bloodline and whether one has the destiny to be one.
This extremely demanding innate condition means that sorcerers are unlikely to become leaders in the world.
The era that Xia Youjie wanted to create, an era in which only sorcerers lived, existed only in theory.
What Lin Yi didn't understand was that the other party should have known this very well.
"That's wonderful! Mr. Ichiro, you really know me well. I've never thought about these issues carefully before, and now it seems I was being too extreme."
Xia Youjie's sudden increase in volume attracted the attention of others in the restaurant, while Lin Yi looked at the madman in front of him with a completely bewildered expression.
So after all these years of tormenting yourself, you only realize now how extreme you are!
Sure enough, those who can become sorcerers are all a bunch of lunatics; I, a normal person, am definitely out of place with these guys.
Lin Yi rubbed his forehead, looking at him with an expression that said, "I don't know this lunatic."
But Xia Youjie got really into it.
He stretched out his hands and gripped Lin Yi's wrists tightly, his expression one of eager anticipation.
"Mr. Hayashi Ichiro, I really need you. With your help, we might be able to create an era that truly belongs to people like us."
Xia Youjie completely ignored the strange looks from the ordinary people in the restaurant, but Lin Yi was a little numb.
Is being entangled with Xia Youjie, an extreme paranoiac and psychopath, the price I have to pay for gaining a cheat code?
Do you know that your death is imminent, Xia Youjie?
Lin Yi pulled his hand away from Xia Youjie's with a look of disgust. Another reason he didn't want to be bothered by this lunatic Xia Youjie was that this guy's time to die was coming up.
Xia Youjie's mastery of the infinitely powerful late-stage growth technique, the Spirit Manipulation Technique, had long been targeted by Lu Suo, a sorcerer who had lived for a thousand years. Even if Xia Youjie wasn't killed by his good friend Gojo Satoru at the end of the year, he would have been killed by Lu Suo, this thousand-year-old monster. Lu Suo had lived for a thousand years, mastered multiple powerful techniques, and possessed the domain expansion and reversal techniques that were standard for top-tier experts.
He was just waiting for the right opportunity to kill Xia Youjie, take over his body and the spell manipulation techniques, and then carry out his grand plan that he had been planning for a thousand years.
Lin Yi didn't want Lu Suo, this ancient demon, to notice him through Xia Youjie's memories after taking over Xia Youjie's body. Currently, without mastering the reversal technique and domain expansion, he couldn't defeat Lu Suo, this ancient demon.
But Xia Youjie wasn't sure if he could kill him, and if he did, Gojo Satoru might find a reason to avenge his best friend.
Damn it, making money through time travel isn't easy these days.
Lin Yi cursed inwardly, then quickly waved his hand at Xia Youjie, who seemed to be surrounded by ominous signs of death.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Xia Youjie, tone it down a bit. Let me think about your suggestion first, and I'll give you an answer."
Lin Yi quickly calmed Xia Youjie down and sat down with his eyes closed to think about what might happen if he made any choices.
Option 1: Tell Xia Youjie that he's being targeted by a thousand-year-old demon and ask him to lay low for a while? No way, who knows where this thousand-year-old demon is spying on us? What if the demon launches a strong attack? We and Xia Youjie, who can't deploy our domains, wouldn't be able to defeat it. We might even get a free bonus.
Option 2: Find Tokyo High School of Sorcery and explain the situation to Gojo Satoru. Hmm, that doesn't seem to work either. Gojo Satoru is strong, exceptionally strong, but even tigers have their moments of weakness. This ancient demon has plenty of patience and time. If all else fails, you can wear Gojo Satoru down before making your move. Anyway, the enemy has laid so many traps, who knows where they'll detonate? Damn it.
Option 3: Flip the table, go straight back to China, it has nothing to do with me if you guys wipe out Japan, but looking at Xia Youjie's stalker face, I can't just go back to China, damn it!
Lin Yi went through the options in his mind and realized that none of them were good. The best outcome would be to pretend to agree, let Xia Youjie be beaten to death by Wujiao Wu, let Lu Su take over Xia Youjie's body, and run away back to his country. But there was no guarantee that Lu Su might become interested in his magic through Xia Youjie's memories and come to his motherland to cause trouble for him.
Given the current situation where, apart from Japan, there are only a handful of sorcerers in other countries and regions, if I go back to my home country, I might still find that the strongest sorcerers are still there, and no one can help me.
Looking at it this way, it seems that the only option left for me to break the deadlock is to get involved myself.
In the end, Lin Yi could only think of one less-than-ideal solution: getting involved himself.
Opening his eyes, he looked at Xia Youjie, who was full of anticipation, and then said:
"Xia Youjie, how about we establish some kind of 'binding'?"
