Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School.
Nobara tilted her head up to look at the school grounds where she would be studying. The expression on her face was less anticipation than simple curiosity.
"Come to think of it, are we the only first years?"
As she spoke, Nobara turned toward Megumi Fushiguro beside her. Before coming to Jujutsu High, she had attended ordinary elementary and middle schools. Going straight from classes of thirty or forty students to just two was quite a change.
"Small classes are normal. That might change later."
Megumi Fushiguro gave only a matter-of-fact reply. Although he was a new student too, he had grown up in a different environment from Nobara and knew much more about the Jujutsu Society.
Aside from the fact that his father was the Heavenly Tyrant, Toji Fushiguro, Chinatsu also dropped by his home from time to time. He had learned plenty about jujutsu from her.
For example, his father was strong.
For example, Chinatsu was even stronger.
And then there was how powerful the Ten Shadows Technique he had awakened was, how dangerous its final shikigami was, and how much attention that technique would draw to him in the future.
The Zenin Clan's head...
With both hands in his pockets, Megumi Fushiguro frowned slightly. He could not keep his Ten Shadows Technique a secret forever. Naobito Zenin, the head of the Zenin Clan, had already sent a letter asking him to become a candidate for the next clan head.
Six Eyes, Limitless.
Shikigami, Ten Shadows Technique.
Blood control, Blood Manipulation.
Among jujutsu families, granting higher status to children with exceptional cursed techniques had become an unspoken rule that everyone understood without much explanation.
Those born with both the Six Eyes and Limitless, like Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo, were revered as divine children.
