(Note: In this story, students must be eighteen to enroll at Jujutsu High. Having them be too young always felt a little weird... consider it protection for minors!)
I clicked confirm and began setting my name, age, and appearance.
My name would be Takechi, and I would be eighteen-just old enough to enroll.
The appearance automatically generated from my stats was way too beautiful. No adjustments needed. I would just set my eyes to bamboo green and my hair to black.
The girl on the glowing screen stood slender and graceful, her features as lovely as a painting. Her bamboo-green eyes seemed to shimmer with water, tugging at the heartstrings, and her figure was hazy beneath a jade-green hanfu. With the delicate beauty of an ailing Xi Shi and a warmth like spring water, she made people instinctively lower their guard.
Huff, huff. I absolutely loved sickly beauties! I was drooling, drooling! Quick, wipe it off.
Right, where was my cheat? Why hadn't it arrived yet?
[Ding. The host has finished setting up. Your cheat will now be issued. Please draw it yourself.]
System 1008, whose presence was practically nonexistent, piped up timidly from a corner.
"Ah, sorry, sorry! I forgot about you. Right, your system number is 1008, so I'll call you Little Eight."
[Okay, dear host~ Hurry and draw your cheat!]
My attention returned to the glowing screen.
I chose to draw a constitution first and leaned closer to examine the screen.
I hadn't known what to expect, but the more I read, the quieter I became.
Because these drawbacks were just too ridiculous!!!
[Ninja: Allows you to turn invisible. Passive effect: Speed and jumping ability ×2 when fleeing. (P.S. You can only turn invisible when in danger. You are not immune to damage while invisible, and any emotional fluctuation will immediately cancel the effect.)] [Oracle: Allows you to predict events that have not yet happened. Each prediction consumes all your cursed energy. Passive effect: Night falls, everyone close your eyes. Werewolves, open your eyes. Kill the Oracle first. (P.S. Getting predictions wrong is perfectly normal, right? You only have a 50% chance of predicting correctly.)] [Myriad Poison Body: Your blood contains poison, with its potency determined by your strength. Passive effect: Immunity to poison. (P.S. Only works on ingested poison. Externally applied poison still works on you~)] [Born Master of Brain Shutdown: Even the Six Eyes cannot see through you. Passive effect: No emotional fluctuations. (P.S. But you seem more likely to arouse suspicion and wariness~)] [...]
Boo-hoo, what kind of garbage constitutions were these? Why was my luck terrible wherever I went?!
Inside, I was already a crying cat biting a handkerchief.
With tears in my eyes, I clicked refresh again, trying hard to ignore the fine print. At last, I rolled something halfway decent.
[Word Manifestation (Enhanced Pity Version for the Unlucky): As long as you believe it, whatever you say will come true. Passive effect: Unlimited cursed energy. (P.S. 1. Excessive cursed energy consumption will still leave you weakened and may have lasting side effects. 2. The damage you suffer is determined by the severity of the Cursed Speech curse and the difference in strength between you and your target. 3. If the target breaks free, you will suffer backlash. 4. ＊＊)]
At last, I had rolled something like an ability from Jujutsu Kaisen.
That unknown part, though... oh, forget it!
Wasn't this just an enhanced version of Inumaki's Cursed Speech? I had coveted this skill even before transmigrating. Too bad Inumaki was too polite with it. Hehe.
I felt like I could do this again. Time to strike while the iron was hot and draw a cursed technique.
[Netherworld Crossing Guide (Unawakened): The eyes are the windows to the soul, and yours can inflict a curse from the soul on anyone who meets your gaze, while also strengthening your Cursed Speech. (P.S. Comes with an inherent curse-based intimidation effect, but may sometimes accidentally harm weaker people.)]
It came with a cursed tool:
[Special Grade Cursed Tool · Silk Ribbon: Ability: Wrapping it around your eyes seals the power of any leaking curses. Skill: Incredibly tough; can be used as a defensive cursed tool. Trait: Binds itself to its owner and normally wraps itself around their hand automatically.]
This was practically tailor-made for me. Everything else aside, that ribbon tied over my eyes would look so cool. I loved it!
Then this was the one.
[The host has finished selecting. Enter the world of "Jujutsu Kaisen"?] [Yes.]
"Host, I'm going to send you in now."
