Eating Avatars' Soft Rice Starting from Jujutsu Kaisen

Subconsciously, he wanted to say his catchphrase, but as Gojo Satoru turned his head and saw Seele beside him, he hesitated.

He was a man who dealt with facts. Just a few days ago, he had been defeated by the young girl in front of him. While his own carelessness was a factor, until another match was fought, the strongest in the Jujutsu World should currently be Seele.

With that thought, Gojo Satoru changed his words.

"Don't worry, I'm very strong."

Seeing Gojo Satoru's confident demeanor, Itadori Yuji could only choose to believe him and stood still, closing his eyes.

A moment later, black markings began to appear on Itadori Yuji's skin.

BOOM!!!

Under the watchful eyes of An Xiu, Seele, and Fushiguro Megumi standing nearby, Ryomen Sukuna, who had regained control of the body, immediately began fighting Gojo Satoru without a word.

However, anyone could tell that Ryomen Sukuna, with the power of only one finger, was merely a plaything being toyed with by Gojo Satoru.

Rather than calling it a battle, it was more like Gojo Satoru's test to see if Itadori Yuji could truly suppress Sukuna at any time.

"Speaking of which, it's a Special Grade cursed spirit Incarnation, rarely seen in previous years, but why do I feel like I'm encountering them more often recently?"

While fighting, Gojo Satoru even had the leisure to chat with An Xiu and the others beside him.

"Don't compare that disgusting fellow with another Seele."

As a joke, how could a deformed creature with four eyes, two mouths, and four arms in life possibly compare to Black Seele? There was no comparison in terms of looks or strength.

"You bastard..."

Seeing Gojo Satoru chatting with the people beside him while fighting him, Ryomen Sukuna, who was already being toyed with, became enraged.

This white-haired guy was completely underestimating him!

He admitted that with the power of only one finger, he was indeed no match for the man in front of him. If that was the case, he would kill these onlookers first as his revenge before killing the other man.

With that thought, after being sent flying by Gojo Satoru once again, Ryomen Sukuna turned his direction and charged towards An Xiu and the other two.

Not good!

Seeing this, Fushiguro Megumi instinctively assumed a stance for his Cursed Technique to block the attack, and Ryomen Sukuna showed a smug smile of a plan succeeding, completely failing to notice that Gojo Satoru behind him had no intention of pursuing. Instead, he wore a look of amusement.

The next second, Seele appeared in front of An Xiu seemingly out of nowhere, blocking Ryomen Sukuna's path. White cursed energy, imbued with the power of creation, erupted from her hand.

BOOM!!!

Instantly, Ryomen Sukuna was sent flying back even faster than he had charged, crashing through the ground below and all the way to the sports field. The shockwave caused the hair and clothes of those present to flutter.

"That hurt quite a bit. I wonder if he's been beaten to death?"

Gojo Satoru said in a rather worried tone as he looked in the direction Ryomen Sukuna was sent flying from the edge of the rooftop.

"Seele did not harm his life, only rendered him incapable of resisting."

Seele replied softly, dispersing the remaining cursed energy in her hand.

"We'll know if we go take a look, won't we?"

An Xiu stepped forward from behind Seele and said, then looked at Seele beside him.

Understanding An Xiu's intention, Seele placed her hand in his, and the next moment, both of them instantly disappeared from their original spot and appeared on the sports field.

"Let's go take a look too."

Patting the somewhat shocked Fushiguro Megumi beside him, Gojo Satoru also took Fushiguro Megumi to the spot where Ryomen Sukuna had fallen.

Coincidentally, the ten seconds had just ended, and Itadori Yuji had suppressed Sukuna's consciousness again, regaining control of his body.

Then, Itadori Yuji felt an excruciating pain all over his body as if it were falling apart.

"What's going on? Why do I have this illusion that all my bones are broken?"

"Is it possible that it's not an illusion?"

Arriving in front of Itadori Yuji and confirming that he had indeed regained his body within the agreed-upon time, Gojo Satoru's lips curled into a smile, but he said slowly.

"Huh?! You hit way too hard!!"

Although he realized that what he had swallowed earlier was dangerous, he shouldn't have had all his bones broken just ten seconds after releasing it.

By the way, can such a level of fracture be treated with modern medical standards? Could he end up being a disabled person confined to bed from now on?

"I didn't hit him. It was Miss Seele over there who did. However, I will take responsibility and find someone to heal you. Until then, please get some sleep."

Ignoring Gojo Satoru's action of knocking Itadori Yuji unconscious, An Xiu's ears were filled with the system's prompt.

"Ding! Detected that Seele defeated Ryomen Sukuna to protect the host. Reward: 2500 points."

What's going on? Normally, wouldn't points be awarded for killing cursed spirits?

"Ding! Answering the host, the action is more important than whether the target is killed. As long as the conditions are met, points can be obtained regardless of defeating, repelling, or killing. However, each target can only be obtained once."

"I see."

Hearing this, An Xiu nodded.

He hadn't expected to gain an unexpected surprise just by coming to confirm if the plot had started.

Chapter 18: Treasure Sukuna, Eishu Reform School Incident

Each target can only trigger a reward once, whether defeated, repelled, or killed.

However, if An Xiu recalled correctly, Sukuna, the King of Curses, had once said that even if the consciousness within Yuji Itadori's merged finger died along with Yuji, it wouldn't affect the revival of Sukuna's consciousness avatars in the other fingers.

So, is there a possibility that each of Sukuna's fingers could be considered an independent target, allowing An Xiu to trigger rewards multiple times?

If that were the case... Sukuna had a total of twenty fingers in the original story, and with 2500 points per finger, triggering it twenty times would yield 50,000 points.

Good heavens, so the greatest treasure in the Jujutsu World was right here!

An Xiu's gaze towards Yuji Itadori, or rather, towards Sukuna, immediately changed.

Noticing the shift in An Xiu's gaze, Gojo Satoru, who was carrying Yuji Itadori on his shoulder, looked over with some curiosity.

For some reason, he felt that An Xiu was looking at Yuji Itadori on his shoulder as if a normal person saw banknotes flying all over the street.

The problem was that Yuji Itadori on his shoulder, apart from merging with Sukuna's finger and being able to suppress Sukuna's consciousness at any time, showed no other special characteristics.

Could it be that he was interested in Sukuna? It wasn't entirely incomprehensible, as Sukuna was, after all, known as the King of Curses.

However, as of now, Gojo Satoru's evaluation of Sukuna was... less than the curse residing within Miss Seele.

The strongest King of Curses from a thousand years ago? To be honest, after experiencing the terrifying cursed energy from Black Seele's attack that rendered him unable to resist, Gojo Satoru felt that this evaluation was somewhat questionable.

"Well then, we'll be taking our leave. After all, we need to report what happened here to the higher-ups."

"Having to meet those annoying guys again, just thinking about it gives me a headache."

Carrying Yuji Itadori on his shoulder and Fushiguro Megumi in one hand, Gojo Satoru flew away after greeting An Xiu and Seele.

"Let's leave too. There's nothing else to see here."

Although he coveted Sukuna, this super points jackpot, An Xiu knew that such things couldn't be rushed. Moreover, as long as he followed the plot, there would soon be an opportunity to verify his conjecture.

He didn't need to rush at all; he just needed to enjoy the present moment.

Thus, without excessively interfering with the plot's progression, Yuji Itadori was still sentenced to death by the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World, just as in the original story. Under Gojo Satoru's strong request, the sentence was changed to a suspended death sentence, citing his role as a vessel for collecting Sukuna's fingers.

An Xiu clearly understood Gojo Satoru's intention: to temporarily save Yuji Itadori's life with an excuse. Collecting the fingers was a long-term task that would normally take several years.

By then, Yuji Itadori would have already grown under his tutelage, and the other younger generation would be capable of taking on important responsibilities. Gojo Satoru, who was already tired of the higher-ups and had a desire for reform, could then confidently take down the corrupt higher-ups of the Jujutsu World, allowing the younger generation to take their place. At that time, Yuji Itadori's death sentence would naturally become a mere formality.

From Gojo Satoru's perspective, this was undoubtedly a perfect and highly feasible plan, and as the strongest, he had the confidence to carry it out. However, he clearly hadn't foreseen the subsequent series of events in the original story.

With that, two weeks passed.

Without any interference from An Xiu in the subsequent plot, everything developed as it did in the original story.

Yuji Itadori, as in the original story, joined Tokyo Jujutsu High School as a first-year student. He formed the classic team of two boys and one girl with Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara, who arrived later. They spent half a month together, exorcising various curses and deepening their bonds, and then...

The Reform School Special Grade Cursed Womb incident finally began.

The sky was dark and overcast, with a drizzle falling from above.

An Xiu and Seele, following the cursed energy, appeared on the street outside Eishu Reform School.

"West Tokyo Eishu Reform School, this is the place, alright."

Sensing the restless cursed energy in the air, An Xiu confirmed he was in the right place.

"Does Seele need to go in now?"

Seele asked An Xiu beside her.

"Let's go report to the person in charge here first. We're not impolite people, after all."

Although the Reform School incident in the original plot was exceptionally dangerous, with Seele's strength, she could handle it at any time.

Therefore, An Xiu was not in a hurry. He calmly walked into the Reform School with Seele and met the supervisor Ijichi, who was in charge of the incident scene.

"You... you are the newly promoted Special Grade sorcerer from half a month ago, Miss Seele?"

Since Seele had officially passed her Special Grade assessment half a month ago, the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World had announced this matter from the Director's Council to all members of the Jujutsu World, notifying them of the birth of the fifth Special Grade sorcerer. Therefore, Ijichi, who had already seen her photo, immediately recognized Seele's identity.

"I didn't expect you to be here. That's wonderful!"

Bowing deeply to Seele and An Xiu, Ijichi immediately informed them about the situation.

"Due to the appearance of a Special Grade Cursed Womb, the Jujutsu World couldn't find a suitable sorcerer to resolve the matter in time. Therefore, they could only dispatch three first-year students from Tokyo Jujutsu High School to the Reform School to rescue any potential survivors."

"Now that a Special Grade sorcerer is present, we kindly request you to exorcise the Cursed Womb inside and resolve this crisis."

In response, Seele did not answer immediately but looked at An Xiu beside her.

"How long have those three first-year Jujutsu High School students been inside?"

An Xiu inquired.

"Uh... about four minutes."

Compared to Seele, An Xiu's fame was undoubtedly much lower. After all, An Xiu hadn't undergone the Grade 1 sorcerer assessment, so there was no announcement from the Director's Council. Thus, Ijichi, who didn't recognize An Xiu at all, was still very respectful in answering the question.

"Four minutes? It seems there's still enough time."

An Xiu signaled to Seele beside him after receiving an answer from Supervisor Ijichi.

"Well then, An Xiu-ge, wait here for a moment. Seele will be back soon."

Raising her hand to summon her scythe, Seele lightly tapped her foot, and her figure instantly vanished into the barrier, 'curtain,' that had been specially deployed to shield ordinary people's sight.

Chapter 19: Special Grade Battle, Another Special Grade Cursed Spirit Instantly Killed

Upon entering the barrier, the scene before her eyes instantly changed. From the original reform school, it transformed into a landscape of intertwined exhaust pipes and buildings.

Clearly, the Cursed Womb had developed completely, just as in the original story. The scene before them was the opponent's incomplete Domain Expansion.

"In this direction."

Sensing the cursed energy within the domain and locking onto her target, Seele immediately activated Quantization and rushed towards the corresponding direction.

Meanwhile, the first-year trio from Tokyo Jujutsu High School had just encountered a Special Grade cursed spirit. Kugisaki Nobara, unaware of the danger, was immediately transferred to another space by the cursed spirit, finding herself surrounded by a group of low-level cursed spirits.

Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuji, on the other hand, were frozen in place under the terrifying presence of the Special Grade cursed spirit, daring not to move.

"Is this... a Special Grade cursed spirit? It's truly on a completely different level than the curses we exorcised before..."

Itadori Yuji said with difficulty.

Even though he had been informed of the horrors of Special Grade before the mission, hearing descriptions and actually facing one were two entirely different matters.

"Yihaha!"

Making strange laughter, the pale cursed spirit, which was roughly humanoid and had four eyes on its head, waved its hand. Instantly, powerful cursed energy, carrying immense destructive force, sent Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuji, along with a large swathe of the ground before them, flying.

Completely outmatched!

Struggling to get up from the ground, Itadori Yuji attempted to swing the blade-type cursed tool in his hand to retaliate against the cursed spirit before him, but it was shattered by a single blow from the spirit.

On the other side, Fushiguro Megumi, kneeling on the ground, also formed hand signs, attempting to summon his shikigami to fight.
