"There are only 4 months left until the interclan tournament. Today we will be going on a mission far away. A mission in America to exorcise a cursed spirit. More specifically an Imaginary Vengeful Cursed Spirit Jason Voorhees. Before I continue can anyone tell me what an imaginary vengeful cursed spirit is?" the elder asked.
It has been a month of use doing missions and exorcisms with him, we only ever fought a grade 1 once, every other mission was grade 2's and below. What is he thinking trying to fight for a special grade?
Tomogui and I are special grade 1, the elder and Daichi are semi grade 1 and grade 2. Do they expect me and Tomogui to fight the vengeful spirit alone? Although I'm sure we can do it, I'm surprised they are putting that much trust in children.
*More importantly, did he just say fucking Jason Voorhees. What the hell is that doing in the JJK world?*
"An imaginary Vengeful Cursed Spirit is formed from the cumulative fear of the masses of one idea or person. Typically folklore can cause an imaginary vengeful spirit to be born." Daichi responded immediately. He seemed more hardworking after the Kuroda incident.
"Correct Daichi! This Cursed Spirit was born from the fear people had from a movie called 'Friday the 13th'."
"Now before you all ask, we won't be fighting this cursed spirit alone. There are 3 other grade 1 sorcerers joining us for this exorcism. When they come over they will introduce themselves. Does anyone have questions"
"How did a cursed spirit form outside of Japan? I thought they were only in Japan because of tengen's barriers" Ren Kamo asked.
"This happens, although it is rare, sometimes cursed spirits form outside of Japan." The elder responded.
"Anyway it looks like the grade 1 sorcerers are here."
There were 3 of them, two of them looked like generic guys you would see on the street. Their bodies were built quite well though. As for the third, it was a lady with white hair, and a nice figure. She was 5'10 and she was someone I was familiar with.
Mei Mei.
*Mei Mei is also on this mission? I wonder how much the Kamo clan had to pay for her*
*It makes sense they would, right now they need people to help them with missions, and Mei Mei is someone willing to do anything for money. I'm surprised they were willing to put down their pride and request assistance from a woman though.*
"Hello youths, my Name is Riku Ito, my cursed technique is blade creation. I can create a blade with my cursed energy." One of the guys said.
'It isn't a bad cursed technique but it isn't really special. If you want to use a blade just get a cursed tool'
"Hi, my name is Bunma. My cursed technique is forced rotation."
*He is quieter than the other guy. Also forced rotation, I wonder how that works.*
*Is it like Kuroda's rotation, or maybe something like Spin from Steel ball run* Tomogui's question
"I'm Mei Mei, my cursed technique is black bird manipulation. It allows me control birds, and lets me see through birds"
"And that's that introduction of the 3 external grade 1's. They will be joining us on these exorcisms. Alongside Futago and Tomogui, there will be 5 grade 1 level sorcerers. I can assure you this should be a safe exorcism."
"Shouldn't the two grade 1's from your side introduce themselves?" The guy with forced rotation BumBum, asked.
'I don't really feel like explaining my cursed technique, then again all the higher ups at the clan already know it. Trying to hide Chiral Manipulation wouldn't have much of a purpose.'
"I'm Futago Kamo and my cursed technique essentially allows me to copy another cursed technique"
"I'm Tomogui Kamo, and I have the same cursed technique."
"Are they twins?" Mei Mei asked the elder who was leading while pointing at us.
"Yes they are, that one is the one who dealt with the Kuroda Incident" He answered while pointing at me. He seemed like a proud father trying to show off his son. Not that we ever even talked outside of training, and exorcisms.
"At the end of the day we will be flying over using the clan's private plane. For now, prepare for the trip, we will probably spend a week outside Japan. Bring what you need and say goodbyes to whoever you need to" With that the elder dismissed us.
*On a trip to America, we never asked where in America though.*
*I wonder, where do you think the most negative emotions towards Jason would be centered*
*It's kinda funny knowing that people are scared of Jason, right now its 2005 when Jason was considered scary, but in the 2020's he became less scary and entertaining.*
*We should pack up and tell Aiko we are leaving.*
"Hey boy would you mind leading me around the clan a little" Interrupting Tomogui and my internal conversation Mei Mei's voice sounded out.
*... first naoya and now her, why do they use the excuse of wanting to be led around instead of just saying they want to talk* Tomogui's voice sounded again.
"Me or him" I said, pointing at Tomogui.
"You" she pointed directly at me.
"See you later Futago, I am going to start packing."
"... where do you want me to lead you" I say, might as well talk to her. She is a grade 1, and her cursed technique is pretty useful.
"Do you know a good food place in the estate? I haven't eaten yet."
"There is a good sushi place 2 blocks from here, I can lead you there."
"That would be great" She said while putting a hand on my shoulder, rubbing it oddly. Since I haven't started puberty yet I am pretty short, around 5'2. In other words she towers over me.
We walked in silence, she followed behind me. When we finally arrived at the restaurant, we were seated and had our order taken immediately.
'That's the benefits of being a Special Grade 1 of the clan. The restaurants allow me to skip the line, and take my orders immediately. Not just that I don't even have to pay.'
'... Is that why she wanted to eat with me? Since she knows the Kamo clan, Special Grade 1's get to eat for free at the restaurants within the estate.'
"Why did you choose me to guide you, the elder leading us would have happily guided you here" I asked Mei Mei, not out of anger, just a little curious.
"Well grade 1, sorcerers from the Kamo clan get free food at these restaurants, that old guy is only semi-grade 1."
"Using me for my status. How cruel of you" I responded jokingly.
"Oh no I was also interested in learning about the newest grade 1's of the Kamo clan" she responded while taking a sip from her cup.
'...' Now that I think about it, I am around the same age ui ui was in the main series. Is she treating this as a date…
"Speaking of which, do you know anything else about the cursed spirit we are exorcising, and a more precise location than just America."
"The cursed spirit was born in Hardwick, New Jersey. Specifically in a forest, with a camp called 'Camp Crystal Lake'." (Canonically where Friday the 13th takes place)
"Do you know whether the cursed spirit has a cursed technique. What has it done, and who identified it?"
"A sorcerer from America noticed it, alongside his group of sorcerers, they all died except for him. Afterward he gave Jujutsu Headquarters the information. As for having a cursed technique … it's unconfirmed whether it has one."
We finished eating, and split up shortly after. I had to get home and say goodbye to Aiko, at least Tomogui packed up for me.
"Goodbye Tomogui, Futago. Make sure to stay safe when exorcising that cursed spirit. Have fun in America, maybe you two could get me a souvenir."
*For the first time in our life we are going to be leaving Japan. I wonder how Tengen's barriers look both from the outside and inside* I asked
*I'm more interested in whether we can use our technique to copy it. We have successfully copied barriers in the clan, but I wonder if Tengen's barrier is the same.*
*Even if we could copy it, is there a point? We don't really need to contain cursed energy for any purpose.*
*Maybe we could repurpose it to help with the Kodoku Ritual we made. Right now the setup we made is severely limited and flawed. The pools are literally just plastic containers, other than the veil there aren't any other barriers to conceal what is going on there.*
*Even with all that we have been fine for now.*
*What happens when a sorcerer actually comes over to our place and notices the concentrated cursed energy over. A simple veil can only do so much, real sorcerers would notice the veil*
*In the last month we managed to make 25 grade 1 cursed tools and 1 Special grade cursed tool.*
While saying this I pulled one of the two normal looking rubik's cube out from my desk. To a non-sorcerer like Aiko they weren't anything special, in actuality one was a special grade tool made from the Holy Ichor of Kuroda.
The other was created by applying Chiral Manipulation to create a copy of the original tool.
The results of this cursed tool were amazing to say the least.
Deciding to play around a bit, I poured some cursed energy into the tool, and a green 60x60x60m grid appeared with the cube as the center.
'When I rotate a face of the cube I teleport like this'
Following my rotation, I reappeared 2 meters to the left.
*As long as we want, we can teleport anywhere within a 60x60x60m radius around ourselves. Although there are flaws compared to Kuroda's own teleportation* I remarked mentally
*Unlike Kuroda who could teleport multiple times within a second, this tool would only allow someone to teleport once every 30 seconds.* Continuing my line of thought I began to ponder the weaknesses
*I feel like this cursed tool had a lot more potential, if I made a barrier that could contain the cursed energy that emanates from the Holy Ichor, and concentrate more of the cursed energy into the tool, it might have been able to retain more properties from Kuroda.* Tomogui stated.
*Holy Ichor is made from the curse spirits' existence. Not just the body, but the very soul. Given that, it might be possible to even engrave the innate domain of the spirit into a tool.*
*Enough theorising about the Cursed tools, we should get over their, just in case anything goes wrong during this exorcism, I'm bringing one of the Flux Cubes with me* (The name of the tool)
