Blessings (2)

--- Gojo Satoru's POV ---

I opened the smartphone "That guy" gave to me.

[Administrator Y has added you to a private (4/4) group chat]

[Administrator Y: If you have any questions about that pill I gave you, you're free to do so]

In fact, I do... Yes, a lot.

I would also want it to be explained in less than 20 words. Sadly, the current phenomenon in front of me won't be able to be explained with only 20 words.

"Gojo-sensei... What is happening right now?"

"Well, you see, Megumi-kun... This is why you shouldn't drink suspicious pills from suspicious people..."

We're inside Yuji Itadori-kun's house.

We are sitting next to him sleeping very comfortably, as well as radiating an intense light of energy...

No, it's definitely not cursed energy.

Long story short: I gave him the pill.

We came to pick him up the next day to join the Jujutsu high, yet here we are, breaking into his house and seeing him sleeping and glowing in white light.

Do teenagers glow after their puberty?

Oh well, whatever...

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

[Hello?]

I called that guy with my new unbranded smartphone. I brought the phone to my ears and:

"So is glowing during puberty normal?"

[Huh?]

[Basically, he is now evolving, and instead of being a curse, he becomes an elemental spirit with a kindhearted nature]

Whoaaa, 20 words, didn't know he could pull that off.

Evolving huh? What is he going to be next? Itado-saur?

[You can find out more about it yourself...]

--- Third Person's POV ---

Meanwhile, Itadori Yuji is having the deepest sleep he ever had in his life.

"You sure sleep well huh?"

"WHOAAA!???"

He was jolted up by an unfamiliar voice.

When he woke up, it was as if he wasn't inside his house anymore.

No, it seems like a dream: a very lucid dream if he was to describe it.

It was the light blue sky when he looks up, And He is standing on soft cotton clouds when he looks down, and finally... in front of him is a shining throne above thousands of golden statues shaped humans, seemingly creating a pyramid to hold the tiny throne.

Though... The owner of that throne is standing next to Yuji.

"You're... Me?"

He asked the man who looks exactly like him even though a few markings of grey tattoos can be found on his body.

"No, I am not you. Didn't you eat me? I am Ryomen Sukuna."

"Huh? But... I didn't though?"

"Huh?"

Both Yujis have the same face of puzzlement due to this stupid conversation.

"Kid, you undoubtedly ate me. I may not be a cursed spirit now, but I knew that for sure."

Yuji crack his head to think a little bit...

"That... You're that pill!?"

"Bingo..."

.

.

.

After a few hours, they finally had a nice conversation.

"So you were a curse, but that Akihito guy or whatever turned you good?"

"You're leaving huge details on that statement..."

"What is it?"

"I'm not exactly 'good', I just ceased my desire of massacre and torture. Overall, I just mind my own business."

The man who looks like he stated thus as he fixed the folded lines of his black kimono.

"Well... So in any case, you're a good cursed spirit aren't you?!"

"Did you even hear what I just said...?"

Sukuna deadpanned at the boy before explaining once more.

"First of all I am not a cursed spirit (Jurei), I am an Elemental. That man describes my source of power to be 'Magicules' and whatnot... But it is saved to say I am a Spirit (Seirei)"

"So you're just a Spirit (Seirei)?

"Yes."

"Will you lend me some help if I were in trouble though?"

"Of course, I would. You're my host, I should keep you alive if I want to exist."

--- Okamura Akihito's POV ---

We've talked about this before too, I've explained what are the uses of the skill compendium and the chat group.

What's left now is letting him do all the work.

Truthfully, I have never expected him to accept my invitation.

No, it was more of an "I'm curious, I will press accept, and I am somehow became one of you"— kind of situation.

But this situation is very advantageous.

• [Limitless] (EX)

Subskills:

[Infinity]

[Space Domination]

[Consumption Negation]

[Curse Affinity]

In the first place, Techniques are not skills. Despite the SAO world having so many eccentric techniques named skills, techniques are by no means a skill, by the system's judgment.

Therefore all of the techniques Gojo used with the Limitless were summarized in two subskills: Space Domination, and Curse Affinity.

They're all techniques he created by using one EX skill.

If "Manipulation" is the ability to control or alter something, then Domination is to force someone/something to submit.

Domination is much more powerful.

It may have been the peak of "Manipulation" sub-skills along the system.

If I can analyze that then...

«Report: Complete analysis has been done on the skill, Limitless. A few upgrades can be done. Would you like to commence?»

What a stupid question, of course, I'd do that!
