Jujutsu High Takes Action

Lin Yi made a "Binding Vow" with Suguru Geto, temporarily shaking off Suguru Geto's entanglement and continuing his life of taking jobs and making money.

However, Suguru Geto's unexpected appearance had made Lin Yi reassess the timeline of Jujutsu Kaisen as he remembered it.

The timeline of Jujutsu Kaisen was divided into the prequel and the main story. There was no need to say much about the prequel—it was the story from Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo's student days, with a distinctly different era and style. Lin Yi would not mistake it.

If the main story's timeline was counted from when Satoru Gojo killed Suguru Geto, it had only been around two years. Because the span was so short, Lin Yi had fallen into a mental trap.

He had assumed that October 31 of the current year was the Shibuya Incident, when Satoru Gojo was sealed away.

That was also why Lin Yi had not been overly surprised when he ran into the supporting character Kento Nanami at the bakery he frequented.

Lin Yi had lumped together the year Kento Nanami quit his job and returned to Jujutsu High as a sorcerer with the year Satoru Gojo was sealed.

"Damn, does that mean the first problem I have to deal with is the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons Incident that that lunatic Suguru Geto will stir up on Christmas Eve at the end of the year? Is it this year or next year? I heard the sequel is already out?"

Lin Yi could not remember the entire plot of Jujutsu Kaisen. It had already been over a year since it ended before he transmigrated. All he remembered were a few famous memes—things like "I'll fight Sukuna," "2.5 Gojo," and "Sorry for not letting Sukuna have his fill."

How could he have known that he would somehow physically transmigrate into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen after its main story had already ended? If he wanted to make more money—and master the Reversed Cursed Technique and Domain Expansion that every powerhouse was expected to possess—

Lin Yi had no choice but to get his not-so-clever brain working and see what little tricks he could pull off in these two years. He had only mastered his native cheat technique, Two-Stage Reversal, for a little over three months. He was unwilling to just give up on figuring it out and flee back home. Besides, time was still on his side for now.

While Lin Yi was considering how to use his foreknowledge to profit over the next two years, the very thing he feared was already happening.

On the stretch of road where Lin Yi had packed his valuables and prepared to flee to the airport yesterday, only to be blocked by Suguru Geto and his people, personnel from Tokyo Jujutsu High under the Japanese Official Jujutsu Society had already sealed off the area where Lin Yi and Suguru Geto had clashed.

Assistant supervisors in black business suits were examining the site of Lin Yi's conflict with Suguru Geto's group. One of them, Kiyotaka Ijichi, was reporting to the higher-ups over the phone.

"Yes, there are indeed traces of barrier techniques and residual cursed energy. The preliminary assessment is four people."

"Five people."

Just as Kiyotaka Ijichi gave the higher-ups a brief report of his findings, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Kiyotaka Ijichi turned around and saw Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer of the modern age, appearing behind him without a sound. His sapphire-blue eyes were utterly captivating.

"Mr. Gojo? Why are you here?"

"I was passing by after finishing some business, so I thought I'd inspect your work. You weren't thorough enough, Ijichi."

Satoru Gojo teased his old friend Kiyotaka Ijichi before walking past him to look at the ground Lin Yi had shattered when he switched into his Heavenly Tyrant form.

In Satoru Gojo's field of vision, only the ground Lin Yi had shattered in his Heavenly Tyrant form carried no traces of cursed energy whatsoever.

"Mr. Gojo, the residual cursed energy I observed only indicates four people."

"Idiot. It's not only a jujutsu sorcerer's cursed energy attacks that can cause this kind of destruction."

Satoru Gojo gazed thoughtfully at the ground Lin Yi had shattered. Before Kiyotaka Ijichi could say anything else, he clasped his hands and vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already in the mountainous outskirts of Tokyo Metropolis, where Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical High School, one of Japan's two Jujutsu High schools, stood.

From above, several Buddhist temple-like buildings could be seen halfway up the mountain, with numerous vermilion torii gates lining the paths leading to them.

This was the full view of Tokyo Jujutsu High.

Using Limitless once more, Satoru Gojo teleported again and arrived at the first-year classroom of Jujutsu High in the blink of an eye.

He slid open the door and greeted the first-year students under his care in an energetic voice.

"Hey, my students! Did you miss me?"

"Huh? The idiot teacher finally knows how to come back?"

"Maki, it's not nice to call Gojo-sensei an idiot."

"Tuna mayo."

Only three students responded to Satoru Gojo's greeting. Or rather, in the entire enormous first year of Tokyo Jujutsu High, there was only one class, with three students.

One boy, one girl, and one who was not human—a panda.

The first to answer Satoru Gojo's greeting was the girl. She wore a ponytail and glasses, carried a long naginata over her shoulder, and had her long legs propped on the desk in a carefree pose. Her name was Maki Zenin, and she came from the Zenin Clan, one of the three great families of Japan's Jujutsu Society.

Although she had been born into a major jujutsu sorcerer family, she had no innate technique due to congenital reasons and possessed only a minute amount of cursed energy. Her physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, but she could not see Cursed Spirits with her naked eyes. She had to rely on the prescription-free glasses she wore to observe them, while the naginata in her hands was a cursed tool specially made for slaying Cursed Spirits.

As for the other two who had chimed in, one was a person and one was a panda. The boy was Toge Inumaki, a descendant of Cursed Speech sorcerers. His technique was Word Made Law, though its effect on a target was proportional to his own strength. For the sake of everyday convenience, he often used food names in place of what he actually meant.

As for Panda, well, he was Panda.

"Wow, you guys are really harsh on your teacher. But I'm here to assign you some extracurricular homework."

"What homework?"

"Go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Area and independently exorcise ten Grade 2 Cursed Spirits each. Contact Ijichi—he knows where in Tokyo you need to go. Right now, immediately."

"Got it. You come back and immediately start ordering your students around."

Maki Zenin and the other two first-years had not expected their homeroom teacher's first act upon returning to school would be sending them out to work. After muttering a few complaints, they were pushed out of the classroom by Satoru Gojo.

After seeing off his students, Satoru Gojo finally sat down and recalled the information his eyes had just observed. After putting it all together, he took out his phone and found the person he wanted to contact in his address book.

"Ms. Mei Mei, I have a deal I'd like to discuss with you..."

Lin Yi had no idea that he was about to face the risk of being doxxed. He had still underestimated the Japanese Official Jujutsu Society's level of monitoring over domestic cursed energy activity, as well as Satoru Gojo's abilities.

Right now, he was busy taking on his next job.
