Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit

Lin Yi rode his motorcycle through the streets of Tokyo.

After resolving the issue of his ultimate move in his Heaven and Tyrant Kamen Rider form, he felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.

As for the question Lin Yi asked Xia Youjie earlier, it was actually because Lin Yi was wondering if Xia Youjie knew whether he had a chance of winning against his best friend, Gojo Satoru.

Although he is a special-grade student, he is not the same as Xia Youjie, who is also a special-grade student.

Gojo Satoru was rated as a Special Grade by the sorcery world because the only non-special grade for sorcerers is Special Grade. You, Natsuyuki, were rated as a Special Grade because the late-stage growth potential of your technique, Spirit Manipulation, was rated as Special Grade.

The contrast between the two is quite obvious.

Xia Youjie's answer that he would win made Lin Yi unable to hold back. He could tell from Xia Youjie's answer that the other party seemed to be confident in defeating his best friend, Gotiao Wu.

"So, the Pure Love War God, Yuta Otsuku, hasn't even enrolled yet, right? He's probably already been imprisoned by the official jutsu world and is being secretly executed. Xia Youjie has already received the news and is arranging to use his own jutsu manipulation technique to capture Yuta Otsuku's shikigami/waifu, a special-grade cursed spirit: Rika Kimoto. In that case, Christmas Eve at the end of this year will be Xia Youjie's death day, nine months away."

Lin Yi used his phone to photograph the message board he had rented at the east exit of Shinjuku Station. Through his conversation with Xia Youjie, he deduced that he was in the correct time period: one year before the start of the main story's timeline.

On Christmas Eve of that year, Xia Youjie initiated the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) in Tokyo-Shinjuku, Kyoto-Osaka, with the aim of capturing the shikigami of Otsuku Yuta, a first-year transfer student at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School with unlimited jutsu power, and the special-grade cursed spirit Kimoto Rika. His plan failed, and he was severely injured by Otsuku Yuta. He was later personally killed by Gojō Satoru who arrived at the scene.

After Xia Youjie's death, Gojo Satoru did not hand over Xia Youjie's body to the official personnel of the jutsu world for disposal, nor did he cremate it. Perhaps, possibly, he gave Xia Youjie's remains to his family so that Xia Youjie could be laid to rest.

Then the millennium-old sorcerer Lu Suo seized the opportunity and began to plot against them.

A year later, on Halloween, Shibuya Ward orchestrated the Shibuya Incident, sealing away Gojo Satoru, the strongest modern sorcerer. Gojo Satoru was sealed away, triggering the Death and Annihilation Return Sorcery Mayhem.

Looking at it this way, I have about a year and a half to work out, which is plenty of time.

Lin Yi calculated the time and realized he had enough to make a fortune in Japan and run away, which made him even happier.

After completing his daily work assignments, Lin Yi rode his motorcycle around the streets, pondering how he could maximize his own benefits during this time.

Before he knew it, Lin Yi had wandered from Shinjuku Ward to Chiyoda Ward, and arrived at Akihabara, the holy land of anime and otaku culture!

Looking at the dazzling array of electronics shops along the street, the figurines and models displayed in the shop windows, and the offline events like idol handshake meetings being held, a money-making idea formed in Lin Yi's mind.

Oh yeah, I can stock up on all those limited edition figures and models before Tokyo is invaded by cursed spirits, and also stock up on all those idol handshake event autographs. Dude, I can be a conscientious reseller for once!

Lin Yi knew very well that once the Shibuya Incident broke out and Gojo Satoru was sealed away, the entire Tokyo would become a ghost town.

Tokyo became a forbidden zone on the map from then on. Most of the idol groups that were active in Tokyo disappeared in the Shibuya Incident. If you want to see them in the future, you can only look at old video footage.

As for myself, well, I have autographed photos of these idol groups. These are priceless treasures! Let's go!

Driven by the urge to discover a way to make money, Lin Yi also began a large-scale purchasing spree in Akihabara.

Meanwhile, Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School is located in the suburbs outside the Tokyo metropolitan area.

In the first-year classroom of the vocational college, Zenin Maki, who had been enrolled for more than half a year, Inu-maki Toshi, and the fully independent Cursed Panda welcomed two transfer students.

Because of the presence of the special-grade curse spirit Rika Inorimoto and the pure love god Yuta Otokoku with infinite curse power, Yuko Takagi, a runaway girl who is transforming from an ordinary person into a curse master, gets caught up in the death-returning experiment of the thousand-year curse master Rōsō.

"...In short, that's it. This is Yuuta Otsuko, who was cursed by Rika, who loves him the most, and this is Yuko Takagi, a cosplayer who is becoming a sorcerer for unknown reasons. Everyone, please take good care of them~"

The tall and upright Gojo Satoru, with bandages wrapped around his eyes and his hair styled into a hedgehog head, introduced the two new transfer students to Zenin Maki, Inu-maki Toshiro, and Panda.

The first-year classroom was a mess. Zenin Maki, Inu-maki Toshiro, and Panda, along with a bear, all had injuries on their faces and looked at Gojo Satoru, who was completely unruly, with considerable displeasure.

"If you attack Yuta, you might trigger the curse Rika on him. Our Takagi Yuko knows nothing about the world of jutsu, and the jutsu power fluctuations on her body can go out of control due to her emotional fluctuations. You might get hurt if you're not careful. Just be careful when you're with her."

"You should have told me sooner!"

Zenin Maki was very unhappy with Gojo Satoru's belated criticism.

Gojo Satoru introduced his three students to Otsuku Yuta and the new character Takagi Yuko. Unsurprisingly, both of them were drawn to the only non-human student in the classroom, the completely independent Cursed Panda.

They couldn't tell from its appearance whether the talking panda in front of them was a panda doll or a live giant panda.

But Zenin Maki and the others also had questions, especially about the transfer student, Takagi Yuko.

"Yuko, we seem to have met somewhere before. Ah! I remember now, you were one of those hostages on the basement floor of the Lori Group building in Shinjuku Ward."

Although Zenin Maki only possesses a trace of magical power due to her congenital condition and cannot observe the cursed spirits with the naked eye, she has an excellent memory and physical fitness. She quickly recalled that she had seen Takagi Yuko during the exorcism of cursed spirits that Gojo Satoru had arranged for them as an extracurricular task.

"Yes, yes, I don't know why they arrested me either. Anyway, I was unconscious for several days, and when I woke up, I was in the police station. Mr. Nanami Kento brought me here, and after Mr. Gojo learned about my situation, he also suggested that I come here to study and learn about the world of jutsu."

Yuko Takagi answered Maki Zenin's question timidly, her eyes occasionally glancing at Satoru Gojo, who was sitting by the lectern watching the students interact.

Upon seeing Takagi Yuko's expression, Zenin Maki knew that the other girl had only chosen to attend Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School because of Gojo Satoru's good looks. What young girl could resist someone as handsome as Gojo Satoru?

Suddenly, a displeased look fell upon Gojo Satoru.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Although I don't know what those guys did to Yuko, my 'Six Eyes' tells me that Yuko is now a sorcerer. Rather than letting Yuko live in fear in the world of ordinary people, it's better to let Yuko come here to learn about sorcerer knowledge. Moreover, as a sorcerer, even a student can earn rewards by exorcising cursed spirits and buy herself lots of beautiful cosplay outfits."

"Yes! I will do my best, Mr. Gojo!"

Noticing Gojo Satoru's gaze through her eye bandages, Takagi Yuko blushed and responded loudly.

"Tch, what a lucky guy."

After hearing Yuko Takagi's explanation, Maki Zenin responded with considerable displeasure.

For her, who was born into a large family of sorcerers but could not become a true sorcerer due to congenital reasons, she greatly envied the way Takagi Yuko became a sorcerer.

However, we will not take out our envy on Yuko Takagi, an innocent person.

While shopping in Akihabara, Lin Yi had no idea that his personal side quest, which was outside the main storyline of the Jujutsu Kaisen world, was connecting with the main storyline in a way he was unaware of.
