As Kenjaku laid out his plan to Hanami and the others.
Hanami and Jogo quickly realized something was wrong.
Jogo could not help asking Kenjaku bluntly, "But what happens to Hanami and me if we do this?"
"We're Curses!"
Kenjaku's plan, put simply, was to use the Balance Mechanism to urgently boost the power of Jujutsu Sorcerers.
But Curses like Jogo and Hanami would not get to enjoy the benefits of this new version.
On the contrary, they would become its victims.
After all, the Jujutsu Sorcerers would grow stronger, while they would not.
Was that not just a disguised nerf?
That was something Jogo and Hanami could not accept.
Their lives were already stressful enough as it was.
If they got weakened again, there would be no point in playing anymore.
Kenjaku reassured them, "Don't worry. I won't let the kind of thing you're afraid of happen!"
"Because once the balance is broken, the compensation it produces is limited."
"And I'll consume it before anyone else does."
"I won't let the Jujutsu Sorcerers snatch away this compensation!"
The Balance Mechanism of Jujutsu Society was supposedly balanced, but it was not really balanced at all.
There were bugs in it.
Take Satoru Gojo, for example.
Satoru Gojo had broken the balance once before.
He had caused all Curses to receive a boost.
But had any overwhelmingly powerful Curses been born because of that?
Leaving aside the anomaly that was Ronawa.
Just looking at the other Curses made it clear.
No extraordinarily powerful individual Curse had emerged.
The so-called Four Calamities Curses could only run wild before ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Before Satoru Gojo, they were nothing but roadside trash he could kick to death.
So had the balance failed?
The answer was no.
The Balance Mechanism had indeed taken effect.
But
