Born as Gojo Satoru Cousin

Gojo Family Residence.

20:10.

In his room, Eiji infused Cursed Energy into the cheap ring he bought this afternoon.

"Failed again. This is more challenging than I thought."

"If creating Cursed Tools were easy, there wouldn't be so few Cursed Tool craftsmen in the modern era."

Not giving up easily, Eiji checked the inscription on the ring.

After revising the inscription several times, he infused Cursed Energy into the ring again.

He failed multiple times and kept trying.

After numerous attempts, on the 22nd try, Eiji succeeded.

"Success!"

A slight joy appeared in his expressionless face.

Wearing the ring on the ring finger of his right hand, he immediately tested its function.

Taking Grass Sword lying on the floor, Eiji activated the ring's function.

The Grass Sword in his hand suddenly disappeared. Afterward, it reappeared and vanished.

Seeing this, Eiji nodded in satisfaction.

"The storage ring is successfully made. Although its capacity is only 10 cubic meters, that's because the material is ordinary. If I use a high-quality ring, maybe its storage capacity will be larger."

Eiji felt uncomfortable carrying the Grass Sword everywhere. Moreover, it drew too much attention.

He really wanted to have a virtual inventory like in games. He was then inspired by Lin Fan's memory.

Lin Fan had read many xianxia novels and the like. Storage rings were common among cultivators to store their belongings.

Eiji wondered if he could make a storage ring like in xianxia novels. Anyway, the basic essence of the Limitless Technique was distorting space at will.

So, he bought a cheap ring and started experimenting.

And the result, he succeeded after dozens of failures.

"It seems the ancestors of the Gojo Family don't like innovation."

Eiji couldn't say that the Limitless Cursed only had four skills: Infinity, Blue, Red, and Purple. Thanks to him, he updated the Limitless Technique and added a new skill, Scarlet.

"Satoru Nii-san will be surprised when he sees this."

He couldn't wait to show off his achievement. Moreover, Eiji still vividly remembered his cousin's expression when demonstrating Scarlet to him.

"This is still not enough. Only five years left before the plot begins. I have to become stronger as much as possible to face the future situation."

The joy of successfully creating the storage ring vanished. For Eiji, there were only three who could threaten him: Mahoraga, Sukuna, and Kenjaku.

Besides these three, he didn't care much about the others. Even Special Grade Cursed Spirits like Jogo, Hanami, Mahito, and Dagon didn't make Eiji feel urgency.

Currently, Eiji was indeed weaker than his cousin Satoru, but the future was uncertain. Even without the Limitless Technique, relying on the superhuman physical strength derived from the Heavenly Restriction, he dared to go head-to-head with Special Grade.

"How can I become stronger?"

Lying on the bed, Eiji stared at the ceiling in confusion.

"It seems I have to explore the Limitless Technique more deeply. Ah, and also eat vegetables. If not, my body won't grow perfectly."

Honestly, he didn't like eating vegetables. So far, he forced himself to eat spinach, broccoli, mustard greens, etc., just to ensure his body didn't lack nutrients.

"Let's check the stock market."

The mobile phone on the table floated into Eiji's hand.

"..."

Looking at all the red numbers on the phone screen, he frowned.

"All the stocks I invested in fell. Indeed, theory and practice are not always the same."

Yesterday, he borrowed 1 million yen from Suguru and put all that money into various stocks.

Eiji had read books about stocks, so he was sure to make a big profit. However, reality cruelly slapped him, waking him up from his delusion.

Events on the field were not as easy as written in books!

"It's not a big deal; I just have to set aside 10% of my salary next month."

Considering the salary of a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, Eiji didn't care about the losses he experienced.

He regarded this failure as a valuable lesson and not to be too overconfident.

...

Monday, October 1, 2013.

At an elementary school.

"Die."

Eiji took a step. In an instant, he had already passed the Cursed Spirit in the form of a giant centipede. A moment later, the giant centipede was sliced into hundreds of pieces.

On the other side, Eiji walked towards the school gate while sheathing the Grass Sword and storing it in the storage ring. He didn't even need to look at the result. Moreover, the giant centipede was only a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit.

"Extermination complete. You can open the Curtain, Ijichi-san."

"Understood."

Ijichi released the Curtain covering the entire elementary school area.

The Curtain was a Barrier Technique commonly used by Jujutsu Sorcerers when exorcising Cursed Spirits.

Anything inside the Curtain wouldn't be visible from the outside, so non-Jujutsu Sorcerers couldn't see Jujutsu Sorcerers or Cursed Spirit activities inside it. They would only see the environment as it was before the Curtain was activated.

The Curtain was mainly used by Jujutsu Sorcerers to maintain secrecy while exorcising Cursed Spirits.

"Your work is always fast, Kamiki-san." Ijichi said.

Compared to the lazy Gojo Satoru, who let others exorcise Cursed Spirits, Kamiki Eiji was very active and diligent.

"Oh." Eiji responded casually.

After spending a month with Eiji, Ijichi knew the other party liked to walk around, so he didn't offer a ride.

Later, going to drive.

"The location is quite far. Just take a taxi."

Checking the map on his phone, Eiji traveled by taxi.

Taxi fares in Japan are among the most expensive in the world, but that was not a problem for him.

Stopping a taxi on the street, Eiji sat in the seat, and the driver asked in a friendly manner.

"Where to, young man?"

"Go to xxx..."

"Understood, please fasten your seatbelt."

"Um."

The seatbelt didn't affect Eiji in any way in case of a traffic accident. He still wouldn't be hurt even without activating Infinity. Even so, he still wore the seatbelt out of respect for others.

Seeing Eiji through the rearview mirror, the driver stepped on the gas pedal, and the taxi moved on the highway.

"Young man, it's school hours. Aren't you going to school?"

The driver was the talkative type.

"I'm suspended from school for a week because I fought against bullies." Eiji made up a random excuse.

"Haaa... Bullying is always there in every school, but the school always turns a blind eye. Only after the bullying victim commits suicide, the school will act."

The driver started talking at length and expressed his dislike for bullying in schools.

Eiji listened and occasionally responded.

After 21 minutes, they arrived at their destination. After paying the fare, Eiji got out of the taxi and saw a building in front of him.

"Suguru-san knows how to enjoy life."
