Someone in the Multiverse, Transformed into Fu Hua at the Start Chapter 32

Amber didn't have much fondness for her—in fact, the only characters in all of Jujutsu Kaisen that Amber liked were Nobara and Gojo. Too bad Nobara was done in, and Gojo turned into a clown.

Come to think of it, she didn't even know if the main crew had finally beaten Sukuna or not.

As she thought this, Amber was about to go eat, but Maki Zenin finally snapped out of it and hurriedly asked, "Wait! Um, are you a jujutsu sorcerer?"

"Jujutsu sorcerer?"

Amber looked at Maki Zenin with some confusion.

She'd easily taken down a Special Grade Cursed Spirit—what else could she be if not a sorcerer?

But Maki Zenin had a different explanation for Amber's confusion: this girl clearly had no concept of jujutsu sorcerers. She was a wild Innate Technique awakener who'd taught herself how to use Cursed Energy to exorcise curses.

That was a genius!

"Like that monster just now—it's actually something called a cursed spirit. A jujutsu sorcerer's job is to exorcise curses."

Maki Zenin felt gratitude toward her savior, along with a desire to build a good relationship with a powerful sorcerer who might become a classmate. She continued her explanation: "Both sorcerers and cursed spirits have rank classifications..."

Watching the girl explain so earnestly, Amber finally realized—she was being treated like a newbie.

Ah... well, she supposed she kind of was one.

"Um..."

Finally finding a gap in Maki Zenin's speech, feeling the hunger in her stomach and the completely unsuitable environment for conversation, Amber tentatively suggested, "How about we grab something to eat first?"

"Ahh! How rude of me!"

Maki Zenin finally snapped out of her excitement.

Because of the life-saving debt, even though she usually liked to save money, Maki Zenin took the initiative to cover the meal costs. She also messaged the others on her phone about the cursed spirit being dealt with and the possibility of a new classmate.

Over the meal, they exchanged names, and then Maki Zenin told Amber more about the jujutsu world—Assistant Supervisors, the Directorate, Jujutsu High—she held nothing back.

As for why she trusted Amber so much, wasn't she afraid Amber might be a Curse User?

First, because Amber had saved her life. Second, because of Amber's apparent age. Third... a kid this cute! There was no way she could be a bad person!

Amber had no idea all this was running through the other girl's mind. She just ate quietly, listening obediently to the explanation. Seeing her so focused and earnest, Maki Zenin felt another surge of emotion—this kid was an angel, just like her little sister!

So strong, yet without any of that arrogance the powerful usually had. Instead, she was gentle and considerate.

Thinking they might become classmates, Maki Zenin's fondness for Amber only grew.

After listening, Amber decided to mention the orphanage situation to Maki.

"A cursed spirit... it's not impossible."

After hearing Amber's speculation, Maki thought for a moment and said, "I'll let an Assistant Supervisor know. If we can find Cursed Remnant at the orphanage, we can confirm it's a cursed spirit and prepare tracking methods."

Then she suddenly remembered to ask, "Shier, when did you awaken your technique? Or rather, when did you first feel something was different about you?"

"Ah... today."

Amber said.

"Oh, today... today!?"

Maki Zenin was stunned. Awakened the same day, and already able to kill a Special Grade Cursed Spirit? Did such a genius really exist?

"Mm."

Amber didn't bother hiding it. "Since Shier was born, there's been a... birthmark on her chest. Only today did that birthmark give Shier a strange feeling. Not only could she see cursed spirits, but just now, another me briefly used Shier's body to help deal with that terrifying cursed spirit."

"!?"

Maki Zenin completely lost her composure.

A strange mark on the body, plus the appearance of another personality—this was exactly the same as an Incarnation.

This wasn't something that could be brushed aside. According to jujutsu society's rules, an Incarnated person could no longer be considered human. They could be treated as—no, they had to be exorcised by curse standards. In other words, this girl in front of her was already an extremely dangerous target.

Maki Zenin, who had just felt so warmed, was now breaking out in a cold sweat. This was no longer something a mere Grade 3 sorcerer like her could handle casually. Once the other classmates and the Assistant Supervisor arrived, Shier would definitely be taken away!

Seeing Maki Zenin hesitating to speak, drenched in sweat, Amber caught on.

The background she'd made up was basically Itadori Yuji's situation—except the one 'Incarnated' in her wasn't Sukuna.

Amber wanted to explain, but before she could say anything, the shop door opened and in walked a burly young man with a scarred face and a topknot, looking like he was in his twenties or thirties. He glanced around, spotted Maki Zenin and Amber, and immediately walked over with a scowl.

Chapter 6: Gojo Satoru.

"This guy..."

At first, Todo Aoi didn't notice anything wrong, but after just a few steps, he frowned. "Is she Incarnated?"

Compared to Maki Zenin, who was average or even weak in strength, Todo Aoi was top-tier even among Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers. Combined with his natural sensitivity to Cursed Energy, he saw at a glance that Shier was off.

If normal people had Cursed Energy wrapped around their bodies, then Shier had it concentrated entirely in the center of her chest, while the Cursed Energy on her body's surface was negligible, like an ordinary person.

"Um...!"

Maki Zenin regretted calling the others over so quickly, but there was no helping it. The situation had demanded backup, and a Special Grade suddenly appearing without Window's surveillance definitely required a strong sorcerer and an Assistant Supervisor to check things out.

Amber also knew it was too late to explain now. Besides, she hadn't expected to look so much like an Incarnated person in others' eyes.

Observing the two of them for a moment, Todo Aoi relaxed his frown, acted as if nothing had happened, ordered a bowl of ramen at the shop, and then sat down next to them.

Amber had no idea what he meant by that, so she could only look to Maki Zenin.

Maki Zenin hadn't known Todo Aoi for very long either. Seeing the newly acquainted cute girl staring at her so pleadingly, she explained Shier's situation to Todo Aoi, then nervously asked her classmate, "Um... Todo, about Shier..."

"Give it up. There's no hiding this kind of thing."

Todo Aoi said while eating his ramen: "Even if we cover it up today, this kid can't live a sealed-off life forever. It's only a matter of time before other sorcerers, or even curse users, find out."

"That's... that's true."

Maki Zenin understood the logic, but her expression turned grim.

"Little girl, what's your situation right now? Who's the curse that incarnated you?"

Todo Aoi asked.

"Shier feels no different from usual..."

Todo Aoi's appearance fit Amber's impression of a yakuza boss perfectly. When he spoke in that ominous tone, it made Amber a little nervous: "Shier hasn't been incarnated. The one who helped Shier just now was another me."

"Another you?"

Todo's expression twisted oddly: "You only sensed cursed energy today, right? Did that 'other you' exist before today?"

The girl said the birthmark was congenital, so he wouldn't be surprised if this other her had always existed. His question was whether the girl had known about the other her inside her body before today.

"She's always been there..."

"Hm..."

Todo finished his ramen in a few big bites, using the time to think everything through, then said: "If what incarnated you was just an ordinary curse, I'd have ways to minimize the trouble. But a curse that can easily handle a Special Grade is a different story."

He was one of the four Special Grade sorcerers, a disciple of Tsukumo Yuki. Though Tsukumo Yuki almost never appeared in public and was an extremely self-willed existence that refused the Directorate's orders, she was still a Special Grade sorcerer. Protecting an ordinary rule-breaker wouldn't be too hard.

But Amber's situation was far from ordinary. A Special Grade Cursed Spirit could be crushed with a wave of a Special Grade sorcerer's hand, but for a Grade 1 sorcerer, it was an opponent that required great effort and could still lead to defeat. The Directorate would never allow such a ticking time bomb to wander under their noses.

"How could this..."

Maki Zenin's face grew even paler.

"But it's not completely hopeless."

At that moment, Todo Aoi changed his tone.

"What way!?"

Maki Zenin's expression was even more excited than Amber's.

In truth, Amber wasn't that agitated. She was worried, yes, but not about being monitored or eliminated by the Directorate. She was worried that the Directorate, or even the entire jujutsu world, would be completely wiped out by Black Amber.

She was already straining with all her might to suppress Black Amber's fury!

Fu Hua was also watching Black Amber's movements closely.

She had never wanted Black Amber to return to Amber's body, because compared to Amber, Black Amber had a greater advantage in controlling the body. In other words, if Black Amber wanted to, Amber couldn't stop her from forcibly taking over.

The reason Fu Hua had agreed to their fusion was also to get a clear look at Black Amber's 'true nature' through this opportunity. If Black Amber made any suspicious moves, she would directly strike and suppress her.

But watching Black Amber, whose anger was clearly high yet still being held back by Amber, Fu Hua fell silent.

Could it really be, as the Herrscher of Reason said, that it wasn't such a harmful existence?

Back to reality.

Seeing Maki Zenin's excited reaction and Amber's tense expression, Todo Aoi spoke the only name he could think of to resolve this: "Gojo Satoru."

"If it's Gojo Satoru, even if the Directorate is unwilling, they'll have to swallow their anger for now."

Todo Aoi explained: "Not only because Gojo Satoru is the strongest Special Grade sorcerer, but also because he's the head of the Gojo Clan, one of the Three Great Jujutsu Families of Japan. Though the Directorate and the families aren't aligned, they can't openly oppose the three great families."

"Of course, more importantly, if it's that Gojo Satoru, he'll definitely get involved in this."

"Gojo Satoru-sama..."

Hearing that name, Maki Zenin showed an expression of admiration: "Come to think of it, Todo-kun has Gojo-san's contact info, right?"

"My teacher does have some connection with Gojo Satoru."

Todo Aoi nodded. What he didn't say was that he himself wasn't a stranger to Gojo Satoru either—Gojo Satoru had also guided his jujutsu studies.

"That's great! Let's contact Gojo-san right away!"

Maki Zenin said.

"I've already sent him a message. If nothing held him up, with his speed, he'll be here soon."

Todo Aoi wasn't particularly helpful by nature, but this was his classmate's lifesaver, and also a top-tier beautiful girl.

Most importantly... he wasn't confident he could subdue a Special Grade without causing a commotion.

If the curse on Amber fought back here, he'd have to consider whether the surrounding area would be reduced to rubble.

After weighing multiple factors, he could only turn to Gojo Satoru for help.

And just as Todo Aoi said, as the strongest in the jujutsu world, five minutes after contacting him, a figure in a jacket, white shirt, and black jeans walked into the restaurant.

His height of over 190 centimeters, silver-white hair, and the faint glint of azure-blue eyes behind his sunglasses all announced his identity.

Special Grade sorcerer Gojo Satoru.

Chapter 7: The Use of Quantization

"Yo, kids~"

Gojo Satoru had one hand in his pocket and raised the other in greeting, then sat down without hesitation in the spot Maki Zenin had vacated near Amber. Through his sunglasses, his gaze carefully examined Shier.

Being stared at so bluntly made Amber somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Gojo didn't keep it up for long. After only three or four seconds, he withdrew his gaze and let out a laugh. "Scary, scary~"

Todo Aoi, who had been waiting for Gojo's reaction, froze for a moment.

Scary? For a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer—and the strongest modern sorcerer at that—to give such an evaluation? Could it be that Sukuna had undergone Incarnation? But Sukuna couldn't possibly incarnate, could he? Not only were those fingers clearly not something anyone could accidentally ingest, but no body could withstand the Incarnation of the King of Curses. An ordinary human would be reduced to ashes in an instant, and even a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer would likely die from the toxicity.

Still, no one had ever tried it, so Todo couldn't be certain his reasoning was correct.

"The curse on you is living here, isn't it?"

Gojo pointed a finger at Amber's chest—the location of the stigma. Black Amber didn't need a vessel, but since she had become Shier, she obediently stayed within the stigma.

"She's not a curse..."

Amber pressed her lips together and refuted.

"Ah, sorry—the other you, then?"

Though his words were an apology, Gojo's tone remained light and airy, showing no real remorse, which earned him a dissatisfied glare from the girl.

Gojo felt a bit helpless. He had never seen someone so attached to a curse—one that had even taken over their own body. He had only spoken rudely about that curse, yet this little girl had gotten angry.

"At least have some sense of danger. Curses aren't as docile as you imagine, you know."

He explained, "The curse inside you is enormous—so enormous that even I've never seen anything like it. And a curse's enormity mostly comes from its amount of Cursed Energy."

"So, Todo-kun~ Where does Cursed Energy come from?"
