Chapter 10: The Goodwill Event Part 01
3rd POV
Entering the city of Tokyo, Mai sensed the change. The others were ignorant but because of his extraordinary senses, he could pick up the change in the quality of Cursed Energy.
'I wonder is it because of these traits?' he thought as he looked at its description.
[Reality Sense: Your innate senses can peer through concepts of what holds reality. Whether it be concepts of energy, matter, space, time, physics, or reality itself. You can comprehend them mentally and observe any changes in them.]
[Meta Sense: Being used to metaphysical energies from the beginning of your origin, you are far more senstive to meta concepts that exist whether they be luck, fate, mind, soul, or any other conceptual energies or auras]
'What is real and what is not real, huh.'
Basically, his sensing powers are a hax. While the Six Eyes inclined towards Cursed Energy and reading the Cursed Techniques, Mai's capabilities were broad. Still, being able to control Cursed Energy on the atomic level makes Gojo the definition of OP.
'Maybe if my Focus skill was at Transcendent level, maybe...' but honestly, there wasn't such need at all. His Cursed Technique could become overpowered but there were various other ways to become stronger.
"And it's not like he doesn't have any weaknesses," he muttered.
If Mai gained any OP powers from Gacha, that would already make him instantly OP.
'How much lucky was I to get that [Immense Luck] trait?' he smiled.
Looking at his teacher and Principal, he noticed that they were much quiet than usual. At least Utahime.
'It also seems that teachers won't help students in any way. It might become cheating if they slipped up any information.'
Throughout the whole 4-hour journey, Mai was thinking about different things.
'Are there different anime worlds like this?'
'Is this only the JJK world or are there any other worlds mixed in?'
'Can I travel to other worlds?'
'Toriko and Pokemon would be my first choice. Oh, the amount of sweets I can get there!' He probably loved sweets as much as Gojo.
'I wonder if the Coffee Jelly in those worlds would be as heavenly as they describe about other foods.' He was daydrooling thinking about sweets when he was interrupted.
"Mai. You still didn't explain about these wireless earpieces." Kamo asked.
"Yeah sorry. I forgot."
Then he explained all the features like group communication, one-on-one communication, emergency messages, and turn-off and turn-on options. His Kimoyo beads could do a lot more than he had initially imagined.
Since the software installed in it was also highly advanced, he could learn a lot of things. In fact, he's been grinding on all sciences and studies ever since.
Even with a great mind, he never bothered to study much in his past life. Now he has to.
With the help of Kimoyo Beads, he got to know about the Beads themselves. As they contain Vibranium, he, the one guy who has the power of Creation although a dubious one, can create Vibranium out of nothing using Cursed Energy.
"I can make at most 150 grams(around 5oz) of mass at my current stage if I use my whole Cursed Energy reserves."
Using that ability no longer caused him any physical backlash as it did before. But he could only perform it a few times a day depending on the size of his creation.
Also, if its shape and working are complex, the creation cost also increases, just like this bullet.
[Exploding Bullet: A creation of Zenin Mai. This bullet is extremely hard, made using combinations of several metals. This bullet contains several chemicals when exposed to a certain amount of pressure, which would combine to cause an explosive reaction.
Explosion delay time: 2.50 seconds.]
After 2.5 seconds of firing the bullet, it would explode...explosively.
Mai also had bullets with different delays that ranged from 0.2 seconds to 5 seconds.
The main mechanism was that the bullet's structural integrity would collapse easily from the inside but is extremely hard to break from the outside. Its shape would not change even a little unless it collides with something unbreakable or near unbreakable.
"If I only had more time..." he could've created a shit ton of weaponry. But for now, this was enough.
He also had a special bullet he created the day before. It was made of special materials like Vibranium, Azantium Ore.... It was the same exploding bullet but could pierce through tanks easily, and it could sustain Cursed Energy more properly.
"I only have one at the moment. Hopefully, it helps to defeat the special grades." He wanted as much Gacha as possible. Now that he was more lucky than before, his desire also increased.
After all, he has a quest in front of him.
[Tournament Arc!
Your main quest begins here. The 30th Goodwill Event held between the two Jujutsu schools is an important event. Make sure your Kyoto side wins the first event.
Bonus: Villains are going to attack the Jujutsu High during the event, as you know. Hinder the enemies and make it so that they don't accomplish their goals.
Reward for Completion of main quest: 5 Gacha Rolls.
Extra Rewards depend on the accomplishments in the Bonus quest.]
'Hmm. Since I already know that Principal will order us to kill Itadori, it will also be a nice time to take a look at him and Sukuna, if possible.'
But Gacha was more important.
---------------
[A/N: Some of the conversations here are somewhat the same as anime. You are free to read or you can just speed read it.]
'These Barriers feel way different than in Kyoto. Maybe because Tengen resides here?' Mai felt how the barriers of Tokyo Jujutsu High were much...robust.
At this point, it only furthered his desire to meet this Tengen-sama. As they were walking, Mai heard some voices.
"I won't forgive you, Okkotsu Yuta! Even though I haven't met you!" It was a girl's voice.
'Oh. It's Nobara's voice. This meeting will surely be much quieter.' Mai thought as he recalled their previous encounter.
Thinking about how weird his thinking became, Mai was worried about his mixed personality.
'Dang. This life's personality has surely affected me. But I can't exactly hate it because it was ME who lived through it. At least that's how I feel.'
"-i"
"Oi!" Mai came out of his thoughts when someone was shouting at him. Looking around, he saw that it was Maki.
"What is it?" Mai asked not deterred. At first, he thought he would be angry at Maki, but at the end of the day, it was just spite and bitterness. If not, he should be brimming with anger right now.
But he didn't care for her either. She left not caring about the consequences. So, he was not obligated in any way.
"Where is Mai?"
"Why are you asking me?" Mai asked.
"Those guys said you knew," she said pointing to other members of the group.
Looking at them, they looked tense. Or mostly, it was Nishimiya and Miwa looking worried. Todo was just mumbling about Okkotsu not being there.
"Oh. Ok." Mai said not giving an actual reply.
"Haa! What's that supposed to mean? You didn't even give a proper answer."
"And why should I answer any of your questions?" Mai spoke back with the same dull voice.
"Where is the cake box? Bring out the yatsuhashi, kudzu noodles, and buckwheat noodles?" Nobara was being a delinquent as usual.
"Where is she?" Maki was getting annoyed that this familiar person whom she can't remember is ignoring her.
"Maki. Don't force him if he doesn't want to answer. Besides, I think I know where she is." Panda spoke.
'This guy is Panda? I guess he's the only one who recognized me. Probably because his perspective is different from a normal human's.'
"What? How?" Maki asked Panda surprised.
"I don't think she's no longer a she but a he." He spoke in his panda voice.
"Salmon?" Inumaki asked confusedly but in a moment, he realized. Then to confirm, he looked at me and then at Maki. He repeated that a few more times,
"Caviar! Kelp." He said greeting Mai.
Mai knew what words meant what and bowed a little with a smile.
"What? I don't get it. Oi Toge." It was a little funny seeing her like that.
And like the troll he was, Toge didn't explain anything to her and made a sheepish smile.
[A/N: Inumaki likes to troll others, if you don't know. Even though he doesn't look like that type of guy.]
Panda sighed and looked toward Mai.
"Was it a Cursed Technique?" he asked.
"Yeah," Mai said smiling. He sighed again looking at my smile. What he misunderstood, Mai didn't bother. Just as Panda was about to explain to Maki, Utahime arrived.
"So, where is that idiot?" she asked.
Other Tokyo students turned towards her and answered at the same time.
"There's no way he'll arrive on time."
As they were saying that, Mai sensed two presences heading their way.
'Strong.' is the only thing that registered his mind. While the amount of Cursed Energy he felt was enormous, he felt like one of the three presences had a strong soul.
'Sukuna! So, he's not that impressive. Oh wait. He only has eaten 3 fingers till now. So, his spirit will be... 7 times stronger than it is now.' That was certainly strong. But it was hard to compare whose spirit was stronger.
"He's here," Mai said pointing towards the direction Gojo was coming from.
"Sorry for the wait, Everyone! I was on a business trip overseas." Gojo was shouting waving his hand. He was acting very childish.
'Poor guy. Needs to become an eccentric so that he won't be bored in his life.' Mai thought.
"I brought some souvenirs for everyone. Here's for everyone from Kyoto. A certain protective charm from a certain tribe. None for you Utahime~"
"I don't want one!" Utahime shouted. The chaos sure ensued with Gojo's arrival. As everyone was absorbed in those souvenirs, Mai also took a look at the protective charm.
His Observe skill also worked on non-living things.
[Adamu's charm: A good-luck charm made from an ancient Kenyan tribe ritual.
Slightly increases good luck. Works for an hour before it resets after 24 hours. Must be kept on the body to work.]
'So, it is an actual good-luck charm.' Mai thought before observing the reveal of Itadori.
'Everything till now looks same. So, no changes till now. That's good.' He knew that he won't get another chance until the completion of the first match.
So, he took a look at Gojo's Status. And boy, it was as expected.
[Name: Gojo Satoru

C.E Output: Mid-Special Grade

...]
'So, even he's not considered Transcendent Level.'
Mai surmised that Transcendent is a stage where it the realm that is utterly unreachable. Gojo, in general, was a genius who could do anything if he put his mind to it. He could've maybe reached Transcendent if there was something that motivated him to be.
It might require a lot of time and dedication beyond reasoning to achieve that stage of mastery in a skill.
"Hey, Everyone from Kyoto! This is Sukuna's vessel, Itadori Yuuji-kun." Gojo introduced him but everyone was absorbed in the creepy-looking charms that Gojo gave earlier.
Mai looked at Itadori with an impassive face to take a look at his Status.
