Osaka.
Of all the regions across the country where riots had broken out, Osaka was relatively stable. Kenjaku had not deployed any ancient jujutsu sorcerers there, because quite a few modern curse users lurked in the city, long frustrated by having to hold themselves back.
Jujutsu sorcerers and curse users seemed to be two different professions, but in reality, they were merely labels Jujutsu Society used to distinguish sorcerers on the side of good from those on the side of evil.
Jujutsu sorcerers belonged to one of three major systems-the jujutsu families, Jujutsu High, or the higher-ups-and used their jujutsu to protect ordinary people's everyday lives.
Curse users, on the other hand, had never registered with any of those three systems. They used jujutsu without restraint in their daily lives, indirectly or even directly threatening ordinary people's lives and safety.
Normally, these curse users did not dare operate too openly. Compared with them, the sorcerers on the side of good were not only far more numerous, but also stronger.
Even excluding the five special grade sorcerers, if all the remaining sorcerers mobilized to wipe them out, simply escaping alive would count as a huge, huge, huge victory.
Jujutsu sorcerers could not pinpoint the curse users' locations.
Curse users deliberately concealed their whereabouts to avoid capture.
Now, with the ancient sorcerers joining the fray, that delicate balance had tipped. How could these already somewhat twisted curse users pass up such an opportunity? One after another, they plunged into the chaos.
There was an old woman who could transform into other people and imitate them, and had even developed her transformation cursed technique to the level of a Séance Technique.
There was a muscular old man who could reverse the relationship between strong and weak, allowing the underdog to defeat the superior.
