Eating Avatar "Soft Rice" Starting from Jujutsu Kaisen

"Uh, what does this mean? We're not supposed to act discreetly, but rather high-profile?"

Hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Itadori Yuji looked confused.

In response, Gojo Satoru glanced at Fushiguro Megumi in the corner.

"Megumi, you explain it."

Upon hearing this, Fushiguro Megumi nodded.

"Now that the existence of cursed spirits is public knowledge, society is at its peak of fear regarding curses. To alleviate this emotion, simply revealing the existence of sorcerers won't be enough."

"To build confidence in the general public, the Jujutsu World will definitely dispatch sorcerers extensively to eliminate cursed spirits during the upcoming period. They will also publicize their achievements through various means, establishing the perception among the public that sorcerers can easily exorcise cursed spirits and that curses are no match for them."

"To achieve this effect, continuing to resolve cursed spirits in secret like before won't work. Acting high-profile will actually help the public curb their fear, which is why Teacher Gojo said that sorcerers might need to be more public in the coming period."

"So that's how it is. I still feel a bit unaccustomed to it."

Itadori Yuji scratched his head, not fully understanding, while Kugisaki Nobara by his side's eyes lit up.

"Wait, if that's the case, doesn't that make us sorcerers a kind of idol?"

"This is way more impressive than being an idol."

Gojo Satoru, standing behind them, chuckled.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Gojo Satoru took it out and saw an email from the Director's Council.

"They're asking me to go to the Director's Council immediately?"

After carefully reading the email's content, Gojo Satoru sighed.

"It seems I'll have to excuse myself for now. You all continue to stand by at Jujutsu High."

After leaving Jujutsu High School, Gojo Satoru soon arrived at the Director's Council and was led to Makima's office by a staff member.

"What is it that you called me here for?"

As Gojo Satoru pushed open the door, Makima smiled and took out a document from her desk, placing it in front of him.

"This is regarding the results of some discussions by the higher-ups on the upcoming plan, and it includes a part that requires Mr. Gojo Satoru's participation."

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru picked up the document and began to read its contents.

"Sorcerer Superhero Project? Publicly broadcasting the process of sorcerers exorcising cursed spirits through official live streams to create superhero-like personas for sorcerers, building public confidence to resist fear of cursed spirits?"

"The primary recommended sorcerer candidate is... Gojo Satoru?"

Looking at the document before him, Gojo Satoru looked up, somewhat uncertain.

"Me?"

"That's right. After all, to build public confidence, it's natural to select the strongest sorcerers for this role. Therefore, Mr. Gojo Satoru is naturally on the initial list."

"Having me do this idol work, well... it's not impossible, but shouldn't there be better candidates?"

When it came to powerful sorcerers, Gojo Satoru didn't see Seele's name on the list. If we were talking about strength, she should be the strongest in the Jujutsu World currently.

"Mr. Gojo Satoru, I must remind you that although Miss Seele is powerful, in terms of age, she is still a junior high school student."

"Fine."

Unable to refute Makima's words, Gojo Satoru finally nodded, accepting the job.

Since the Jujutsu World had officially begun cooperating with the Japanese government, this 'debut' plan for sorcerers naturally had official support.

Three days in advance, the Japanese government had already released notifications and set up live streaming rooms on Japan's largest live streaming websites to build anticipation for this operation.

The public, upon learning of the situation, was in an uproar. After all, although the existence of sorcerers had already been revealed along with cursed spirits, unlike cursed spirits, no one had managed to capture footage of sorcerers in action so far. The existence of sorcerers had always been shrouded in a veil of mystery.

And now, was the time finally here to lift that veil?

"It's finally here! Sorcerers!!!"

"Do groups wielding supernatural powers like this really exist?"

"I wonder if I have the aptitude to become a sorcerer."

"Hurry up and show us, I can't wait!"

Thus, amidst the clamor of anticipation, time quickly flew to 7 PM.

Within a derelict building complex, Gojo Satoru looked up at the building before him, which was constantly emitting cursed energy, and nodded slowly.

"This is it, no mistake."

To allow Gojo Satoru, the subject of this live broadcast, to fully display his abilities, this location was a 'treasure spot' meticulously chosen by the Jujutsu World for him.

Judging by the cursed energy contained in the surrounding air, there were at least a hundred cursed spirits gathered here, and it was almost certain that Grade 1 cursed spirits were among them.

In other words, with the current public revelation of curses, negative emotions across Japan had surged, otherwise, such a large gathering of cursed spirits would have been impossible to find so easily.

"Checking the time, still a few minutes left. I wonder if the backstage preparations are done."

"I never imagined that I, as a teacher, would one day be exorcising cursed spirits while live-streaming."

As Gojo Satoru arrived at his destination, the staff responsible for the plan behind him had already begun their actions.

Five minutes before the broadcast began, almost all residents of Japan received a notification from the official channels on their mobile phones.

The homepages of all Japanese streaming platforms were now displaying a special broadcast room set up by the Japanese government, labeled as Room Number One.

Simultaneously, all Japanese television stations began broadcasting the event at the same time.

In an instant, millions of people flocked to the stream, while even more watched through various other channels.

Finally, after several minutes, the once completely dark broadcast room finally showed an image.

In the abandoned building complex, Gojo Satoru was placing a special cursed corpse on the ground and was currently adjusting it.

For sorcerers, who needed to battle cursed spirits, it was clearly unrealistic to hold a mobile phone and broadcast live while fighting. Therefore, under the instruction of the higher-ups in the Jujutsu World, Gakuganji Yaga had specifically created the cursed corpse before him to assist Gojo Satoru with the broadcast.

This cursed corpse not only served as a substitute for the broadcast equipment to connect to the signal, but it was also exceptionally sturdy and resistant to damage from combat, capable of adapting to various environments. Furthermore, it possessed two functions: a normal broadcast perspective and an overhead perspective. Once a sorcerer entered combat, it would automatically find a suitable viewing corner to switch to the overhead perspective, allowing viewers to see the battle details more clearly.

"Yo, has it started already? Didn't expect so many people."

Noticing the cursed corpse had started working, Gojo Satoru greeted them with a smile.

At this moment, what the viewers saw in the broadcast room was a white-haired, spiky-haired individual wearing an eye patch, along with an introduction displayed by the backstage staff.

[Special Grade Sorcerer]—Gojo Satoru.

Chapter 52: Tsukumo Yuki's Arrival

"Hello everyone watching on screen, I am Gojo Satoru, a Special Grade sorcerer from the Jujutsu World."

"Um… to be honest, this is my first time exorcising cursed spirits while broadcasting live. It's a novel experience, and I feel a little unaccustomed to it."

After the cursed corpse was activated, Gojo Satoru walked towards the interior of the abandoned building complex, chatting with the viewers while broadcasting.

"As you can all see, this abandoned building complex is a large gathering place for cursed spirits. It's estimated that there are over a hundred cursed spirits gathered here. Gathering places of this scale are rarely encountered before the public revelation of curses. Today, my mission is to exorcise all the cursed spirits inside."

"Hmm? What does the title 'Special Grade Sorcerer' mean… A Special Grade sorcerer refers to a sorcerer who is at the pinnacle of the sorcerer ranking. Only a very small number of extremely powerful sorcerers can be awarded the Special Grade title after passing an assessment. The normal ranking for sorcerers, from lowest to highest, is Grade 4 to Grade 1."

"The number of Special Grade sorcerers? Currently, there are five Special Grade sorcerers in the Jujutsu World. For specifics, you can wait for the official list of Special Grade and Grade 1 sorcerers to be released later."

"How do sorcerers fight? This is a bit complicated to explain. Simply put, normal sorcerers use normal combat techniques, while sorcerers with Cursed Techniques use their Cursed Techniques on top of that to fight."

It had to be said that Gojo Satoru did have a certain talent for broadcasting. Through his unique conversational style, he quickly connected with the audience.

During their chat, Gojo Satoru had already ventured deep into the abandoned building complex, and the cursed energy around him began to grow restless.

"I'll stop chatting for now. I need to focus on dealing with the curses."

For Gojo Satoru, who possessed the Six Eyes, the cursed spirits hiding within the abandoned building complex were completely exposed to him the moment he arrived.

A wisp of red cursed energy condensed at his fingertips, eventually forming a point. Then, under Gojo Satoru's control, this red cursed energy shot violently towards a corner.

"Cursed Technique: Reversal: Red!"

BOOM!!!

A massive repulsive force instantly erupted, tearing apart the cursed spirit hiding in the corner. Simultaneously, the residual energy blasted a ten-meter-diameter hole in the building's wall.

"Cursed Technique: Lapse: Blue!"

The attack wasn't over with a single blow. Gojo Satoru circulated his cursed energy again, and blue energy appeared in his hands, unleashing a powerful suction force.

"ahhhhh!!!"

Instantly, countless cursed spirits screamed as they were sucked in from all directions and crushed into a single mass by the power of Blue.

"Cursed spirits are like this. Although there are many of them, most are actually very weak to sorcerers. Powerful curses are a rare minority."

Looking at the mass of cursed spirits crushed into a pulp before him, Gojo Satoru disdainfully tossed them aside, letting their remains naturally dissipate.

"Of course, the curses here are not exactly weak. According to the intelligence, this abandoned building complex is inhabited by a Grade 1 cursed spirit. Just like the ranking of sorcerers, a Grade 1 cursed spirit is the strongest cursed spirit below Special Grade."

"But it makes no difference to me. Let me see, is the Grade 1 cursed spirit in the dark hiding here?"

His gaze locked onto a direction, and red cursed energy once again gathered at his fingertips, but this time, the scale was much larger than before.

"Since it's my first time showing off in front of the public, I'll be a bit rough."

A Red with the size of a basketball suddenly erupted and was released by Gojo Satoru with one hand. The terrifying cursed energy even caused the broadcast image to fluctuate unnaturally.

RUMBLE!!!

A terrifying repulsive force instantly destroyed everything in its path, and the entire ground shook violently at that moment.

Amidst the loud sounds of buildings collapsing, when the dust and smoke cleared, what appeared before the broadcast viewers was the abandoned building complex, now reduced to ruins.

"I accidentally used a bit too much strength."

Gojo Satoru smiled sheepishly.

"Alright, there are no cursed energy signatures in this area anymore. The mission is successfully completed."

The first live broadcast by a sorcerer to the public ended. Having completed his mission, Gojo Satoru returned to Jujutsu High School.

With this demonstration of strength by a sorcerer, the public's fear of curses was once again reduced. In the eyes of most sorcerers in the Jujutsu World, the situation finally seemed to be under control.

Under these circumstances, another half a month passed.

"Boss, two servings of taiyaki, please."

"One moment, coming right up."

Standing in front of a snack stall by the roadside, An Xiu took the snacks from the vendor and looked at the streets, which were still a bit deserted despite being during peak hours. He couldn't help but sigh casually.

"There are so many fewer people on the streets than before."

"After all, when people know there might be danger outside, they prefer to stay home."

Seele, who was accompanying An Xiu, answered softly.

"But with the efforts of everyone in the Jujutsu World, things should gradually recover after a while."

Although the surge in negative emotions in Japanese society had led to a significant increase in both the quantity and quality of cursed spirits, the sorcerers of the Jujutsu World were not to be underestimated. Especially now that the Jujutsu World, under Makima's covert control, was no longer as corrupt as it used to be and was operating at full capacity.

It had to be said that the Jujutsu World had changed dramatically after the existence of curses and sorcerers was revealed, to the point where it was almost unrecognizable to An Xiu.

"Let's go back."

Taking Seele's fair hand, An Xiu and Seele returned to the villa.

As soon as they arrived, they saw several figures standing in front of the villa, seemingly in conversation.

An Xiu recognized most of the figures. On one side were Makima and her escorts, Miwa Kasumi and Nishimiya Momo. On the other side was a tall, mature woman with blonde hair.

"Is that… Tsukumo Yuki?"

Looking at the blonde woman conversing with Makima, An Xiu quickly recognized her identity.

Tsukumo Yuki, the only female among the original three Special Grade sorcerers in the Jujutsu World, a Special Grade sorcerer who mastered the Cursed Technique of manipulating imaginary mass.

An Xiu wasn't surprised that Tsukumo Yuki would appear in Japan at this time. After all, with such a huge upheaval in the Jujutsu World, even Tsukumo Yuki, whose whereabouts were usually unpredictable, had to return to check the situation.

However, she was now at the entrance of his and Seele's villa. Was she here specifically to see Seele?

An Xiu was self-aware enough about his own situation. Since he rarely made a move, most outsiders saw him as merely a hanger-on to Seele, who was the youngest in the Jujutsu World yet subtly held the position of the strongest among the Special Grade sorcerers, a proud daughter of heaven. In this context, Tsukumo Yuki would definitely not be coming to see him.
