Xia Jie looked at the personal page displayed by the system, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

Compared to before he had entered Jujutsu High, his strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.

First was his Cursed Energy. Its rate of increase had startled even him. Then came his basic physical attributes, which could be said to have reached the pinnacle of what ordinary people could achieve.

Outwardly, he had grown a full fifteen centimeters since entering Jujutsu High, reaching an astonishing 188 centimeters.

Panda and the others, who spent a lot of time with him, had even wondered whether he had secretly taken some sort of height-increasing medicine.

Then there were the personal skills he had mastered. Whether in hand-to-hand combat or Cursed Techniques, he was no longer inferior to Panda, Toge Inumaki, and the others at the same level. He had even learned Shockwave Fist from Panda.

Even without counting Shadow Maru and Thunder Maru, he now possessed the strength of a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer. His physical abilities were even more outstanding than those of ordinary sorcerers.

If he summoned Imaginary Cursed Spirits, he could probably subdue most Grade 1 Cursed Spirits. Then, like Suguru Geto, he could gain more means of attack by subduing Cursed Spirits.

However, Japan might not have that many Imaginary Cursed Spirits left for him to subdue. Brain had likely already gathered all of Japan's Cursed Spirits into his possession.

Thinking of the ten million Cursed Spirits Brain had released during the Shibuya Incident, Xia Jie did not need to guess to know that Japan's Cursed Spirits had already been swept clean by Brain.

His plan to subdue Japan's Imaginary Cursed Spirits was most likely hopeless, aside from those Special-Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirits that even Brain was not confident he could subdue.

But those Special-Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirits were difficult even for Brain to handle, so Xia Jie had even less of a chance.

Putting aside the thought of subduing Cursed Spirits, Xia Jie left to meet up with Okkotsu and the others.

Today was the day spring break began. Okkotsu, Maki, Panda, and Toge Inumaki were all sitting in the classroom, waiting for Gojo Satoru to arrive.

Okkotsu, Panda, and the others secretly watched Maki, observing her reaction.

They had not seen Maki recently because she had gone to take the assessment for Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer, but the result had been far from satisfactory.

During the assessment, Maki had received C-Lower Assessments three times. A C-Lower Assessment meant that Maki had played no role in the operation and was even suspected of holding the team back.

The Higher-Ups of Jujutsu High had naturally rejected Maki's promotion assessment, but Okkotsu, Panda, and Toge Inumaki all knew there had to be something fishy about the process.

With Maki's strength, she could exorcise a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit by herself without any problem, let alone with another Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer at her side.

But the problem lay precisely in the Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer accompanying Maki. Without such a companion, Maki's promotion to Grade 2 would have gone much more smoothly.

Those Jujutsu Sorcerers were all connected to the Zenin Clan in one way or another. The Zenin Clan's three scumbags—Naoya Zenin, Jinichi Zenin, and Maki's father, Ogi Zenin—had manipulated Maki's promotion assessment from behind the scenes.

And within Jujutsu High, there were likewise people who did not want Maki, who could not use Cursed Energy, to become a higher-ranked Jujutsu Sorcerer. If Maki successfully rose to Grade 2, the status of traditional Jujutsu Sorcerers would undoubtedly be threatened.

After Maki defeated the last Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer responsible for her assessment, she learned the truth behind it from him.

After learning this, Maki did not feel particularly defeated. Back when she was in the Zenin Clan, she had already deeply understood the difficulties she would face in Jujutsu Society as someone unable to use Cursed Energy.

Instead, an even fiercer fighting spirit rose within her.

So what if she could not advance? As long as she became stronger, one day no one would be able to ignore her!

"Maki will be okay, right?" Panda leaned closer to Okkotsu, lowering his voice. "What exactly happened... With Maki's strength, how could she fail to advance to Grade 2?"

"I don't know either!" Okkotsu scratched his head helplessly. "Maybe... Gojo-sensei knows?"

Although he had returned to Special Grade, that did not mean becoming a Special Grade gave him greater authority or let him know everything.

"Hey! Okkotsu, Panda!" Maki shouted, making Okkotsu and Panda jolt. "Is there anything you can't ask me to my face?"

"Salmon!" Toge Inumaki added from the side.

"Hey, Toge, that's too sneaky!" Panda looked at Toge Inumaki speechlessly, then hesitantly said to Maki, "Maki, there's something I don't quite understand..."

"You mean my promotion, right?" Maki directly cut Panda off.

"Yes. Why?" Panda asked, while Okkotsu and Toge Inumaki also looked at Maki.

"Because..." Maki had just begun speaking when the door opened with a creak.

Everyone looked toward the door. Xia Jie's expression froze slightly as he looked back and asked strangely, "What's wrong? Why is everyone looking at me?"

"Get in here already, Xia Jie!" Panda complained weakly. "Why are you so late?"

Xia Jie glanced at the time, baffled. "Late? I'm not that late, am I?"

"Alright, stop talking for now!" Panda waved him over to sit down. "Maki was just about to tell us about the assessment!"

The assessment?

Xia Jie glanced at Maki and quickly sat down. Although he knew Maki's promotion was destined to fail, he still wanted to hear the specific reason from Maki herself.

"There wasn't really any reason," Maki continued. "When I was fighting the Cursed Spirits, my glasses broke. So when it came time to exorcise them, I was practically no help at all. That was why I only got a C-Lower Assessment."

"All three times... your glasses broke?" Panda asked doubtfully.

"Dorayaki?" Toge Inumaki said.

"Were the Jujutsu Sorcerers responsible for the assessment behind it?" Xia Jie narrowed his eyes slightly.

The other four all looked at him, and Maki's gaze was especially strange.

"Why do you say that?" Maki asked.

"The Maki I know isn't careless enough to make the same mistake twice," Xia Jie said calmly. "Besides, how could you let your glasses break so easily? I don't believe a Cursed Spirit could knock your glasses off!"

"Ruling out the Cursed Spirits and yourself, that only leaves..."

"The Jujutsu Sorcerers responsible for the assessment!"

Okkotsu unconsciously clenched his fists, and a terrifying presence spread from him.

No wonder Maki had been injured when she returned from the mission! If the accompanying Jujutsu Sorcerer had secretly sabotaged her, then everything made sense!

Damn it! Did they not know that doing this could get Maki killed?

"Hey! Okkotsu, stop releasing your Cursed Energy everywhere!" Maki sighed and said to Okkotsu.

Then she glared at Xia Jie, seeming to blame him for revealing the truth. "You all know I was born into the Zenin Clan... They have always looked down on me, so naturally they do not want me to advance easily! But they never intended to get me killed!"
