Curse Return: Swordsmith Start

After a long while in the principal's office, Moth Masakazu put his phone on the table, took off his glasses, and casually placed them next to the phone.

His body slumped back in the chair, deflated, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

His own troublemaker had messed up again, and this mess was huge, like tearing down the whole building. He didn't even have the energy to be angry anymore; he just felt exhausted.

He was completely at a loss. Reason and emotion told him that what they were doing might be right, but his habit as a rule 'maintainer' was still there. One day, the rule suddenly collapsed, which really left him at a loss.

and......

The brightly lit phone screen flashed text that glared at him.

"The Nightmoth, a first-class sorcerer of the Righteous Path, is appointed as the chairman of the Spells Committee, overseeing all affairs of the spellcasting world!"

From: Kawasaki Eshito (Representative of the three starter families)

What?! So the person hiding in the deepest part was actually you? Yue Ren!

Moth understood everything. The one who truly wanted to overturn everything was his student's student, a boy who had always kept his true intentions hidden.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems like I had expected it all along: the cursed tools, Fushiguro Megumi, Gojo Satoru, and all sorts of events and the people affected... I just hadn't noticed them.

Improving the environment for everyone, ensuring the survival of sorcerers, and now, removing the 'obstacles' that hinder the development of sorcerers—these are all done subtly and quietly, yet they always achieve results far exceeding expectations at crucial moments. Even he admires such methods.

Everyone has a scale in their heart. On one side are those who can protect their own lives and bring hope to this hopeless profession, and on the other side are those who remain outdated, restricting others with all sorts of rules and regulations, and even arrogant dictators who frequently make mistakes themselves. Anyone with their own thoughts knows how to choose.

In this situation, the journey to the meeting venue must be smooth sailing, as is the general trend.

That boy, in a way, accomplished an unprecedented "spellbreaking," gradually unraveling the massive curse within the Japanese sorcery world—a remarkable achievement.

I no longer know how to face this student, and he seems to be very clear about his own personality.

There's no need for persuasion; with just a joint appointment from the three major families, there's no reason for me to refuse... When did they come to know me to this extent?

The one who's truly at your mercy is yourself... Tch, you brat!

Moth was frustrated at being seen through, but there was nothing he could do. Now that things had come to this, he could only do as he had planned. With all the high-ranking figures above everyone dead, the world of sorcery was in great danger. Without a new order to govern the whole situation, chaos was inevitable, and he couldn't just stand by and watch it happen.

According to the power structure sent by the Yue people, he would be the one in charge of everything...

Although I feel embarrassed, this way my children might no longer have to hide!

"Completely Independent Sudden Mutation Cursed Corpse"

The unique cursed remains created by the night moth are made through a special method. Unlike ordinary cursed remains that consume the user's cursed power, the mutated cursed remains can replenish their cursed power on their own.

In other words, they can act semi-permanently and independently even without the help of a sorcerer.

His most representative work is the panda.

This is equivalent to the ability to create sorcerers, making it very easy to form an army of sorcerers. As a result, Moth was certified as a special sorcerer and almost got sentenced to life imprisonment by the original high-ranking officials.

Now that the higher-ups are gone and he is about to become the new ruler, then those children he secretly created and hid in the forest protected by Lord Tianyuan will finally have a chance to see the light of day again.

Imagining such a day, Moth suddenly felt a sense of freedom, as if the shackles that had bound her for so long had suddenly broken.

Ah, even being bossed around and still having to be grateful, Kawasaki Etsuto, you're the most terrifying guy.

In the end, Principal Nocturne Masamichi gave up 'resistance'.

Kyoto Higher Vocational School.

Third-grade students, Noriyuki Kamo and Momo Nishimiya, silently stared at their phones.

More explosive than the fact that someone could simply send such a trivial matter as a message to their phone is the content of the message itself.

"What exactly happened? Kamo, your family head has changed? Boom? Never heard of this guy."

"..."

"The Kamo family is now defunct in name only!"

Kamo Noriyuki felt even worse because of his classmate's question. To be honest, he still felt a sense of unreality. In just a few days, his large family had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Although the Kamo family is not as powerful as the Gojo and Zenin families, who are also among the top three families, as a large family, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. They are not something that other small families can mess with. But who could have imagined that the family would undergo such a dramatic change overnight?

The high-ranking officials collectively rebelled, controlled by the most vicious traitor from hundreds of years ago, Kamo Noriyuki, who wanted to take action against "Lord Tengen". The plan failed, and afterwards, they all died unexpectedly for unknown reasons.

Then, just when he didn't know what to do, Kawasaki Koshito, whom he had met a few times, brought a man to the Kamo family's ancestral home and made a secret "deal" with him as the temporary representative.

He traded his power and status as head of the family for the Kamo family's continued protection, but whether the Kamo family could rise again depended on him, the true bloodline member...

This is what truly troubles him.

He knew it would be difficult for him to revitalize the Kamo family on his own.

Upon seeing the message on his phone, he finally understood what he hadn't thought about at the time: why he had engaged in that seemingly advantageous "deal"—it was all waiting for this moment.

At a speed that left everyone speechless, a new power structure was temporarily established, so fast that those who were still hesitating had not even had time to react before the framework was already in place.

The three main families are the Gojo family, the Zenin family, and the Kamo family.

Five Enlightenment, Subdued Black Beauty, and Expansion.

Three names, representing the heads of the three main families as the highest-ranking officials.

It has a decision-making committee that invites many key figures in the world of sorcery.

Mingming is in charge of finance and logistics.

Qi Haijianren is in charge of task scheduling.

Kusakabe is responsible for internal affairs.

Yuki Kuju is responsible for research and development.

Yi Gu You Tai commanded the self-defense combat forces.

Hiromi Nichisha is responsible for revising the code of conduct for organizations and the laws governing sorcerers.

......

The meeting members are currently at this level, and additional members may be added as needed based on any subsequent issues.

On October 16th, the first Jujutsu Committee meeting was officially held at Tokyo College of Technology, and was successfully convened in the presence of the three heads of the family.

In addition to all the invited participants, dozens of sorcerers came to observe, bringing the total number of sorcerers at the high school to an astonishing two hundred, almost equaling the total number of sorcerers in all of Japan.

No unusual events occurred on the day of the meeting.

According to the pre-arranged plan, the power transfer took place, and at the same time, a shocking announcement was made: war was imminent. The strongest demon, Ryoumen Sukuna, together with the millennium curse master, the Great Curse Spirit, would engage in a great battle with the curse masters in Shibuya on October 31. If they did not accept the challenge, there was a high probability that the other side would carry out a massacre in Shibuya, and Japan would be at risk of falling.

After deliberation, the committee decided to dispatch several elite sorcerers, including Gojo Satoru, to participate in the battle, and to invite suitable sorcerers to carry out related logistical and support work.

In order to prepare for the upcoming war, it is necessary to coordinate everyone.

The new power structure will be tested by this war. Success in surviving it will signify the arrival of a new era for sorcerers.

The massive amount of shocking information impacted the understanding of the participating sorcerers. Regardless of their thoughts, one thing had already been realized: the days to come would not be peaceful.

Besides the war, there are many other issues to resolve.

The existence of the cursed spirits was made public, the final participants in the decisive battle were confirmed, enemy intelligence was gathered, and plans were made to enhance everyone's combat strength...

One thing after another happened.

The Spellcasting Council, acting as a temporary government for the spellcasting world, began to fulfill its functions.

October 18th, Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

The ginkgo leaves had turned completely yellow and fell with the wind, carpeting the entire slope leading to the school gate.

Nobody's sweeping, not because they're lazy, but because nobody has much time.

The atmosphere on campus was strange, like the sweltering heat before a storm.

When Itadori woke up, the first thing he saw was Zhang Xiang and Toudou Aoi, who were guarding him. His feelings were complicated, especially when they showed concern for each other as brothers.

He felt incredibly unworthy to have two brothers who cared for him so much.

After making the sound, Kugizaki came in. Seeing that his companions were safe and sound, Itadori felt a little relieved and glad that he hadn't caused any damage.

His memory was still stuck at the moment he was lulled to sleep. The first thing he cared about after waking up was the safety of his comrades. After all, he knew his own situation. If he lost consciousness on the battlefield, there was a high probability that the thing inside him would wake up, and each time it would be a disaster.

Upon further questioning, she learned from Kugizaki what had happened: she had been controlled, Sukuna's finger had been inserted into her, and her seniors and teachers rushed after them to rescue her...

After listening to Huzhang, I felt a warmth in my heart. Teachers and seniors are indeed the most reliable.

At the same time, he was also glad that Ryoumen Sukuna, the demon that had been residing in his body, had finally left. It was a blessing in disguise. Although Kugizaki said that he almost died, it didn't really feel real to him.

Since he was still alive and hadn't lost any limbs, that was all good news for him.

At the same time, he realized he hadn't seen Fukuro, and learned from Zhang Xiang's words that his best friend was training with Gojo Satoru.

The previous battle exposed many problems. The despair of watching his classmate being kidnapped in front of him tormented Fushiguro, making him eager to become stronger. So, unsurprisingly, he asked Gojo Satoru for help.

Gojo Satoru would naturally not refuse such a request, especially since Fushiguro had been the most outstanding performer in the previous battles. Although he relied on Makura as an element, since he had been subdued, he was a true fighter. It was already quite impressive that he could achieve a decapitation strike in front of so many enemies.

Moreover, it was because of him and Moxulu that Sukuna, who had awakened, was unable to slaughter all the other students in a short time, and left to take care of Gojo Satoru and Echito who were about to arrive.

Otherwise, given Su Nuo's wicked nature, he would definitely kill a few of your people to make you suffer.

It's fair to say he won both the MVP and Best Support awards.

Even so, Fushiguro Megumi still felt that she hadn't done a good job. If she hadn't been careless, Itadori wouldn't have been taken hostage by the enemy, Sukuna wouldn't have woken up, and she would have had to become even stronger.

In the end, Kugizaki concluded that he was an idiot who took all the blame when it wasn't his fault at all.

Just as she was about to use this to teach Itajō a lesson, she noticed that Itajō's expression had also changed.

Yes, what she said had the opposite effect.

Hearing this, Itajimaru suddenly began to reflect deeply, realizing he hadn't been of any help in the battle and had almost held everyone back...

Although no one meant to blame him, Itajiro couldn't get over it himself, and with Fushiguro working so hard, he also started seeking training to become stronger.

Enraged, Kugizaki wanted nothing more than to beat this guy with his peculiar brain circuits back to a pulp on the spot.

And how could our good older brother, Zhang Xiang, possibly let go of such a good opportunity to get close to his younger brother? While trying to stop Kugisaki, he also readily agreed to help Itajitsu train.

Seeing the light gradually return to Huzhang's eyes, and hearing the other party's sincere gratitude, Zhang Xiang was moved to tears.

Higashido Aoi actually cried, and somehow ended up joining in.

Looking at these three guys, Kugizaki suddenly felt her silly little tea-serving assistant drifting away from her, and felt a little empty inside. Even though she arrived first...

On the other hand, besides training Fushiguro, the second place Gojo Satoru spent the most time during this period was the Echigo forge workshop.

According to Yue Ren, the short sword he gave Itachi undoubtedly possessed the "anti-magic" attribute that could disrupt the effects of spells, so Sukuna's current danger level is different.

The same weapon can have different effects in different hands. Zenji was able to pierce Gojo Satoru's bottomless pit with a Tengai-bo, not to mention Ryoumen Sukuna, who has more combat experience. So even as the strongest, he has to be very careful in the future.

In order to increase his chances of winning the battle, he followed the request he had made to Yue Ren, who would then help him forge a custom weapon.

The 20th.

After several days of Gojo Satoru's masterful control over the output of his cursed power, along with the construction technique, Yue Ren finally created a special cursed steel capable of withstanding the intensity of Gojo Satoru's battles.

But at this point, the question became what kind of weapon to forge.

Because of "Gojo Satoru's weapon," this is actually a paradox.

He possesses a "no-limit technique" that causes any physical attack to slow down infinitely before reaching him, eventually stopping in front of him, thus eliminating the need for weapons for defense.

He possesses "Void Form: Zi," an ultimate curse power output capable of erasing all existence. A single strike can annihilate a top-tier curse spirit at the molecular level, so he doesn't need weapons to attack.
