"You two are being so rude! The Occult Research Club will be abolished because it doesn't meet the minimum requirement of three members. This classroom will be repurposed for those who need it." The speaker was a student council member from Suginami Third High School, and their purpose was to announce the disbandment of the "Occult Research Club."
"Less than three? What nonsense are you talking about? Are your eyes bad, or are you not counting us?" Sasaki-senpai, the president of the club, asked with a plain face and short black hair. "There are four of us here, one, two, three, four. We're over the minimum. How can there be less than three?"
"Yeah, the student council has always had a problem with our club, but you can't bully us just because we're a small club without a faculty advisor." Iguchi-senpai, who was just as unremarkable-looking, chimed in.
"Uh... Sasaki-senpai and Iguchi-senpai, I'm from the 'go home club.' I'm only here because Yuji dragged me along." Seiya, who had been dozing, quickly raised his hand to clarify that he was just tagging along.
"Even if you don't count Seiya, there's still me, plus our two senpais, so we still meet the minimum of three, right?" Yuji Itadori, with his brown hair and brown eyes, quickly spoke up as he heard his club was about to be abolished.
Looking at the confused Yuji, Sasaki-senpai, and Iguchi-senpai, who were all unaware of the real reason, Seiya sighed quietly. The story had finally begun. Unfortunately, no new "big players" had joined his Mind-Dream Realm. Although his current power wasn't weak, it wasn't enough to protect himself in this chaotic plot.
The next second, a middle-aged teacher in a tracksuit appeared, just as Seiya had expected. He declared that Yuji's talent was being wasted in a useless club like the Occult Research Club and challenged him to a duel. The plot was unfolding as expected. Seiya didn't try to stop it, including the moment a little while ago when Yuji brought Ryomen Sukuna's finger into the Occult Research Club.
In this world, Seiya was Yuji's childhood friend. Because of Yuji's habit of attracting misfortune, they had frequently encountered thugs and troublemakers since they were little. If not for Seiya's background in a family of ancient martial arts and Yuji's abnormal physical condition, Seiya probably wouldn't have survived until now. The fact that Yuji found Sukuna's finger seemed like a coincidence, but it was an inevitable result. Even if Seiya had tried to stop it, Sukuna's finger would have found its way to Yuji one way or another. So, instead of trying to change the plot and make things uncontrollable, it was better to let things take their course and get Sasaki-senpai and Iguchi-senpai out of danger first. If Seiya had enough power right now, he wouldn't fear anything and could simply nip all unstable factors in the bud. But the problem was, he didn't have the power to go around messing with things.
The result of Yuji's shot put competition against the teacher was obvious to Seiya even without watching. As is well known, ordinary high school students in Japanese anime are anything but ordinary, and Yuji was no exception. With his seemingly slender arm, he effortlessly threw the shot put far past the world record. And this was the result of him not even training seriously. After easily crushing the teacher, Yuji looked at Seiya and said, "Seiya, do you want to visit my grandpa with me today?" Because misfortune always followed Yuji, he seemed to have many friends growing up, but in the end, Seiya was the only one who remained by his side.
Seiya also often visited Yuji's grandfather, Wasuke Itadori. At first, when Yuji introduced him, Wasuke seemed to dislike him. Yuji always thought it was because his grandpa was just eccentric and told Seiya that's why his grandpa had always been alone. But Seiya didn't believe it. While he agreed that Wasuke was stubborn, he felt that Wasuke's dislike wasn't out of hatred but more like he thought it wasn't a good idea for Seiya to be so close to Yuji. This went on until the last time Seiya and Yuji visited Wasuke in the hospital. Wasuke's eyes lit up when he saw Seiya. After finding an excuse to get his grandson out of the room, Wasuke looked at Seiya with a serious expression. "I didn't expect you to become a Jujutsu Sorcerer, too. Did Yuji's curse affect you after all? I just don't know if this power will be a blessing or a curse for you."
When Seiya heard Wasuke's words, he was stunned. The first time he visited with Yuji, he hadn't shared the powers of his other selves in the Mind-Dream Realm. At that time, while he was skilled in ancient martial arts and had an unusual physical body like Yuji, he had no cursed energy. But this time, Seiya had shared the powers of his other selves, and the spiritual energy from the Tokyo Ravens world had become an equivalent amount of cursed energy in this world.
There wasn't much about Wasuke in the original story. At first, Seiya thought he was just an ordinary old man who knew a few things. But now, it seemed like this seemingly frail old man was not ordinary at all! He couldn't be an ordinary old man if he could sense Seiya's well-hidden cursed energy.
"A curse? What kind of curse is on Yuji, Grandpa Wasuke?" Seiya didn't know the entire plot of Jujutsu Kaisen. He had only watched the first season before he was sent here. Now that he realized the old man was a hidden master, Seiya tried to get more useful information from him.
"With your current power, knowing too much won't be good for you. I was rude to you before because I didn't want you, as a normal person, to get too involved with Yuji and be affected by his misfortune. But it looks like you've already been affected. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone from a normal person to a Jujutsu Sorcerer."
