"Would you like to work for me?"
Eiji's words reached Yuki Tsukumo's ears.
"What kind of work, and how much will you pay?"
Yuki Tsukumo assumed Eiji was just looking for some help and didn't refuse.
Though she might seem lazy, Yuki Tsukumo was a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, after all.
When she was abroad, she often helped others with minor troubles and earned some spending money.
"Ah, for this, I don't plan on paying you."
"Are you kidding me?"
A '#' symbol faintly appeared on Yuki Tsukumo's forehead.
This brat first negated my ideals, then called me 'Big Sis,' and now he wants me to work for free? I'm so angry, should I teach him a lesson?
Yuki Tsukumo prepared herself mentally.
If Eiji's answer wasn't to her liking, she would teach him how to respect his seniors.
"Your goal is to create a world without Cursed Spirits. Your intention is not to see anyone else die because of Cursed Spirits, right?"
"That's right."
Yuki Tsukumo nodded.
"I have an idea: create a massive Barrier, and within it, create a small world. Then, absorb all the Cursed Energy dispersed by ordinary people into the Barrier."
Lines extended from the shadow beneath Eiji's feet. One line formed a circle on the outside, labeled "World."
Another line formed a smaller circle within the "World" circle, labeled "Small World."
"Then, Assistant Supervisors responsible for maintaining the Barrier will observe the situation inside. Once the Cursed Energy becomes dense enough for a Cursed Spirit to be born, we'll send people to eliminate it."
"Isn't that the same as Jujutsu High now, a method that only treats the symptoms and not the root cause?"
Yuki Tsukumo was a little disappointed.
"But ordinary people won't die from Cursed Spirits anymore, and this method is more feasible than yours, isn't it?"
"But Jujutsu Sorcerers will still die because of it."
Yuki Tsukumo looked at Eiji seriously.
"Firstly, no industry is entirely without risk. Even ordinary people working in offices can die from car accidents during their commute or from certain Natural Disasters."
"Secondly, the location where Cursed Spirits are born is within a Barrier that we control. We can accurately see everything about the Cursed Spirits, so there won't be frequent misjudgments of Cursed Spirit information like there are now. The casualties among Jujutsu Sorcerers will be significantly reduced."
"Finally, if possible, I don't intend to have Jujutsu Sorcerers themselves enter the Barrier to fight."
"Oh? Then how do you plan for Jujutsu Sorcerers to fight Cursed Spirits?"
Yuki Tsukumo became interested.
"Do you know about Heroic Spirits?"
Eiji didn't rush to answer.
"I've heard of them. I even saw a Heroic Spirit outside just now, but it wasn't much help to my research, so..."
Yuki Tsukumo suddenly realized something.
"You want Heroic Spirits to Exorcise Cursed Spirits?"
If that were the case, it might actually be feasible, but could Jujutsu Sorcerers summon that many Heroic Spirits?
Or rather, was Eiji willing to hand over the method for summoning Cursed Spirits?
"Not entirely. On one hand, we can have Heroic Spirits take turns on duty, and on the other hand..."
Eiji's gaze fixed directly on Yuki Tsukumo.
"We can make Jujutsu Sorcerers into Heroic Spirits."
Suguru Geto and Yuki Tsukumo's eyes widened simultaneously.
"I see. Making Jujutsu Sorcerers into Heroic Spirits."
Suguru Geto thought of many things.
For example, if he and Satoru Gojo became Heroic Spirits, would they also ascend to the Hall of Heroes together after death and protect humanity together?
"It's definitely feasible, but as you said, achieving this will also face resistance from the world, right?"
Yuki Tsukumo brought up the reason Eiji had opposed her.
However, Eiji wasn't hit by his own boomerang this time.
"First, I believe I will possess the power to confront the world in the future, and I also have trustworthy companions."
As he spoke, Eiji put his arm around Suguru Geto.
Whether it was the current Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo, or the future Yuta Okkotsu and others, these were all powerful forces Eiji could win over.
"Second, I don't intend to achieve it all at once. I will start by gaining control of this country and gradually change the world."
Eiji slowly clenched his fist.
It was as if he were trying to grasp the entire world.
"Hahaha, this is interesting. You're even crazier than I am, kid."
Yuki Tsukumo laughed exaggeratedly.
However, this laughter wasn't mocking or sarcastic.
"Those old geezers in the Jujutsu World won't give up their power. Aren't you planning to go against the entire world, just like me?"
Eiji knew Yuki Tsukumo was very interested in his proposal.
"Controlling this country is actually much simpler than you think."
"Tell me."
"The Three Great Families hold most of the power in the Jujutsu World, and they can even interfere with the country's operations."
"But."
Eiji looked at the two of them seriously.
"The Jujutsu World respects strength. And I possess the legitimate Ten Shadows Technique of the Zenin Family, so it won't be difficult for me to take control of the Zenin Family."
"I just need to eliminate some, win over some, and support some."
"Furthermore, Satoru Gojo is destined to become the head of the Gojo Family. He also wishes to change the Jujutsu World. With two of the Three Great Families secured, the last one, the Kamo Family, won't be able to cause any significant trouble."
Eiji held up two fingers.
"Next, we just need to win over some influential local families, and the Jujutsu World will fall under our control."
"Interesting. What about Master Tengen? This country is enveloped by Master Tengen's barrier. Such a large-scale operation will surely attract Master Tengen's attention. What if she objects?"
Yuki Tsukumo raised another question.
"You've met Master Tengen before. She's like rotten wood now. There's no need to worry."
"And even if she objects, it doesn't matter to me. My Heroic Spirits include beings with top-tier Barrier Techniques. Besides, the current Master Tengen is no longer human."
"Before completing her evolution, Master Tengen's existence is closer to that of a Cursed Spirit."
Eiji's lips curled into a malicious smile.
"As long as it's a Cursed Spirit, Mahoraga will never lose. In fact, if I wanted to..."
Eiji's gaze shifted to Suguru Geto.
Master Tengen was close to a Cursed Spirit, and Suguru Geto possessed Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
Both of them understood Eiji's idea.
For some reason, Yuki Tsukumo was quite looking forward to such an outcome.
"Is that so? Then I'll look forward to it. However, I won't abandon my original plan."
Seeing Yuki Tsukumo agree, Eiji also showed a satisfied expression.
Just as the three were about to delve deeper into their discussion, Eiji was hit by a boomerang he had thrown a few days prior.
Boom.
"Enemy attack?"
The sudden sound made them instantly vigilant. Before the Star Plasma Vessel incident, none of them would have thought this.
But after someone actually attacked Jujutsu High, they had become overly cautious.
"You bad woman, stay away from Geto!"
Before the dust had even settled, a familiar voice came from within.
"Satoru?"
Eiji and Suguru Geto looked at Satoru Gojo, who rushed out of the smoke, in surprise.
Satoru Gojo pulled Suguru Geto closer and warily eyed Yuki Tsukumo.
"Bad woman? Me?"
Yuki Tsukumo looked bewildered.
"That's right! Tell me, what are you trying to do by getting close to Geto, you bad woman!"
Slap.
Eiji slapped himself across the face.
A few days ago, he had jokingly told Satoru Gojo that Suguru Geto might go down the wrong path because of Yuki Tsukumo.
His original intention was for Satoru Gojo to keep an eye on Suguru Geto and prevent him from being led astray if Eiji was out on a mission.
He hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.
Looking at Satoru Gojo, who was shielding Suguru Geto as if he were protecting his beloved, Eiji didn't know how to explain the situation for a moment.
"You better explain yourself! How am I a bad woman?!"
"Always running around outside doing nothing productive, what else could she be but a bad woman? And the moment she gets back, she goes straight for Geto. Be careful, or I'll send you flying."
"Huh? If you can do it, then try me."
Yuki Tsukumo's temper flared.
Under Suguru Geto's stunned gaze, the two completed their annual task of demolishing the Jujutsu High training grounds once a year, adding another sum to Jujutsu High's GDP.
"Damn it, is that Infinity? What an annoying brat."
Yuki Tsukumo limped out of Jujutsu High.
Her Cursed Energy was too depleted, and even her Reverse Cursed Technique wasn't operating smoothly.
Inside Jujutsu High, Satoru Gojo wasn't feeling great either.
It wasn't that Satoru Gojo had lost, but rather...
"You must fix the classroom before sunset today."
"Yes, Teacher Yaga!"
The three of them, heads hanging like quails, skillfully repaired the classroom's exterior wall under Masamichi Yaga's supervision.
