Murder Attempt

The official Jujutsu situation releases a new article about the 4th Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.

This causes a stir among Jujutsu Sorcerers in Japan.

The appearance of a new Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer becomes a hot topic for a while.

The article also discloses the identity for everyone to know. Once again, everyone is surprised to learn that the 4th Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer has just turned 12 years old and is also the second Six Eyes bearer in this generation, causing a sensation a few years ago.

As a result, the black market value of Kamiki Eiji's life skyrockets, second only to Gojo Satoru's.

....

The next day.

Thursday, September 3, 2013.

8:30 AM.

With candy in his mouth, Eiji stands in front of the Gojo Family residence gate.

Shortly after, a black sedan stops in front of him, and a man in office uniform gets out of the driver's seat.

The man is Ijichi Kiyotaka.

"Good morning, Kamiki-san."

"Morning." Eiji replies to the greeting.

Knowing the other party dislikes small talk, Ijichi hands him an identification card.

"This is the Jujutsu Sorcerer ID card. Congratulations, Kamiki-san, your rank is Special Grade."

"Oh."

Seeing that he shows no excitement, as if it's normal for him to get a Special Grade rank, Ijichi smiles wryly.

Considering every other Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, they also react like this.

If a Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer is promoted to Grade 1, they would seem happy.

"Ahem... Starting today, I am assigned as your manager, Kamiki-san. My task is to escort you to Cursed Spirit locations and report your achievements."

"Um."

Eiji is not surprised to hear this. After all, Ijichi is also his cousin's manager and the protagonist.

"Did Satoru Nii-san say anything to you?"

"Yeah. Gojo-san said to escort Kamiki-san to Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High."

"So that's it. Let's go then."

Opening the car door, as before, Eiji sits in the front seat.

Ijichi returns to the driver's seat, starts the engine, and the car moves onto the highway.

....

20 minutes after leaving the Gojo Family residence.

Staring at the scenery outside, Eiji mutters, "I hope I find a suitable Cursed Tool."

The night before, he had told his cousin that he wanted a Cursed Tool. Unlike Cursed Objects, Cursed Tools are weapons containing Cursed Energy. Therefore, even non-Jujutsu Sorcerers can use them to fight Cursed Spirits.

Like Jujutsu Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits, Cursed Tools are categorized from Grade 1 to Grade 4 based on their strength and potential. The higher the grade, the greater the advantage they provide to the user in battles.

With the political power of the Gojo Family and Satoru's influence, it's no problem to give Eiji a Cursed Tool.

"Stop the car." Eiji says suddenly.

"Sorry?" Ijichi turns confused.

Seeing him staring back, he knows he didn't mishear. He then stops the car, and Eiji immediately gets out.

"This is a good spot for a murder."

Eiji observes the surrounding environment. Currently, they are on a secluded hilly road with no houses around except for the trees.

"Murder?!"

Hearing that, Ijichi is shocked. After calming down, he asks seriously, "Should I call for help?"

"No need. I've got this." Eiji says nonchalantly, indifferent to the fact that the target of the murder is himself.

"Oh, your words are quite arrogant, brat."

From one of the trees, a tall blond man appears.

"Let's finish this quickly; I still have things to do."

"You little brat. You underestimate me."

Veins appear on the tall man's forehead.

*Whoosh*

He moves at sonic speed, and his punch is only a few meters away from Eiji.

"Is this all your ability is? I thought you had a way to overcome Limitations, but your Inherent Technique only speeds up momentum."

Eiji sees the Cursed Energy flow of the other party with the Six Eyes, and he understands the basic principle of the opponent's Cursed Technique.

"This is just the beginning!"

In less than a second, the tall man has retreated about 20 meters, reaching for a small pouch on his waist, holding dozens of marbles.

"Bullet Acceleration."

He throws the marbles one by one. Each marble is shot faster than a bullet fired by a firearm.

"So that's it... Your Cursed Technique is not just accelerating your own momentum but almost everything. This technique multiplies the speed of an object (living or not) by a significant amount just by willing it. The faster an object moves, the greater the speed it gains."

Standing in place, Eiji quickly analyzes his opponent, while dozens of marbles are stopped by Infinity.

"Impossible! Is a 12-year-old kid this strong?"

The tall man is amazed to see his attack ineffective. It should be noted that Bullet Acceleration can even penetrate a tank!

"Uncle, don't you feel ashamed shouting your technique's name at your age? You're too childish." Eiji says calmly.

"You bastard! I'll show you the true power of the Blessing of Hermes!"

The tall man can feel the disgust in the blue-eyed kid's eyes.

"You talk too much."

Eiji takes a step forward, and his figure suddenly appears behind the tall man.

The tall man's pupils contract, before he can react, he feels pain in his neck. Next, his vision goes pitch black, and he dies with full regret.

"So, this is what it feels like to kill a human, huh."

Staring at his hands that just snapped the tall man's neck, Eiji feels nothing.

"Fool. The Special Grade rank is not just a title. Not everyone can get it. You were blinded by greed. Your mistake was assessing someone's strength in terms of age."

Looking at the tall man's corpse on the asphalt, Eiji directs his right hand toward the corpse.

A flame appears, burning the corpse into ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Trash."

Eiji glances in a certain direction.

Evil Sorcerers who are hiding and looking for an opportunity to attack feel intimidated by the Six Eyes.

Survival instincts warn them not to provoke the monster-shaped boy.

Regardless of the tempting reward offered, no matter how much money, life cannot be bought with money!

"Huh."

Feeling another Evil Sorcerer fleeing, Eiji is too lazy to take action against them. He gets back into the car.

"It's done, let's continue."

"Understood."

Ijichi doesn't ask anything and obediently drives.

Eiji takes out his phone and opens the Jujutsu dark site. Without changing his expression, he looks at the bounty on his life.

"No wonder they dared to attack even though they knew I'm a Special Grade. As long as the money is enough, there are always some foolish people with a mentality to try."

He sees the forum filled with discussions by Evil Sorcerers expressing their willingness to accept the mission.

In fact, when Eiji fought against the tall man, he sensed that there were six other people watching.
