Special Grade Zero-Curse Power Sorcerer?

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Crrrack."

The door opened, and a head poked out

A selfie, with a snowman next to it that looked strikingly like someone.

Miyuki: "Happy New Year! [Cute]"

Suketsugu Zenin: "Nice snowman, but don't build another one next time."

Miyuki: "What do you mean? Doesn't it look like him? [Covering mouth, smiling]"

Suketsugu Zenin: "...Am I that ugly? [Angry]"

Soon, the new year arrived, and as if entering a cycle, Suketsugu Zenin began his daily training.

Occasionally, he would hear news of Curse Spirits Grade 1 or higher, and he would go to Jujutsu High to pick up a team-leading mission.

While "shearing the sheep," he would kill Curse Spirits to increase his strength.

Through several experiments, he had figured out the conditions for absorbing and converting the scriptures.

They were only effective on Curse Spirits he personally killed.

And the Curse Spirits had to be Grade 1 or higher.

Years passed, and Satoru Gojo and Shoko Ieiri graduated from Jujutsu High, successfully becoming teachers.

Graduation and immediate employment, a perfect transition.

Following them, Nanami Kento and Riko Amanai also graduated smoothly.

Nanami did not choose to work as a Jujutsu Sorcerer but entered society, becoming an ordinary salaryman.

Riko Amanai, however, stayed at Jujutsu High, choosing to become a Jujutsu Sorcerer, and would often freeload meals at Suketsugu Zenin's place.

After all, Suketsugu Zenin occasionally took them on missions, so they were at least familiar with the people from Tokyo Jujutsu High.

"Yo, old man, training? I'm here to mooch off you again."

Riko Amanai's figure appeared in the yard.

Having shed her youthful immaturity, Riko had matured considerably.

Her long hair fell to her shoulders, she wore a yellow jacket, and chewed bubblegum, transitioning from a budding girl to a "spiritually energetic" young woman.

Though a bit exaggerated, in Suketsugu Zenin's eyes, Riko did indeed resemble a "spiritually energetic" girl at this moment.

Getting a tattoo and dyeing her hair would complete the look.

"Sister Amanai! Why are you here again to freeload off my brother!"

Besides Suketsugu Zenin, who was training in the yard, were the two unshakeable little ones.

Maki and Mai, as if living there, arrived punctually every day, and no one in the Zenin family dared to stop them.

The two had also evolved from little lolis to slightly older lolis. Aside from growing a bit taller, there hadn't been much change.

"I can't help it, I'm the only one at Jujutsu High. Satoru is on a mission, and Sister Shoko isn't here. I'm bored without anyone to accompany me, so I came to find you guys."

Riko Amanai said matter-of-factly.

Over the years, these were the only friends she had.

Nanami had become a working stiff, and Kuroi wasn't here, so she could only come to this uncle who often stayed home.

"Mai and Mai both call me 'brother,' so why do you keep calling me 'old man'? Do I look that old?"

Suketsugu Zenin had been unhappy with Riko's way of addressing him for a long time.

Hearing this, Riko shrugged indifferently, "Come on, old man, you're already thirty, what else should I call you? Should I and these two little ones call you... 'Brother~'"

"Ew~"

Saying that, Riko even got goosebumps; she couldn't stand the tone herself.

"..." Suketsugu Zenin.

In that case, calling him "old man" was fine; at least it didn't disgust him.

"What's wrong with calling you 'brother'? Brother is brother, what's strange about it?"

Mai didn't understand why Riko was unwilling to call him "brother" along with them.

"Oh right, old man, given your performance over the past few years, the higher-ups seem to have designated you as... a Special Grade 1 Sorcerer without Cursed Energy!

Now you're a sorcerer too, and a special one at that~"

Riko relayed the news she had heard to Suketsugu Zenin.

In recent years, as a team-leading teacher, he had indeed completed many missions, but the highest-grade curse he encountered was only quasi-Special Grade.

This led Jujutsu High to benchmark his strength against that of a Grade 1 Sorcerer.

Regarding this, Suketsugu Zenin was indifferent.

What sorcerer or not, it wasn't as practical as getting some money.
