"It's just the Reverse Cursed Technique, isn't it? See, I learned it in an instant."
"Whoa, it's for real. Guess I have a real talent for teaching."
"It's just because I'm a genius. Has nothing to do with you, Shoko. But speaking of being a teacher, you're actually a good fit."
A young Gojo Satoru and a young Ieiri Shoko bantered with each other. Standing beside them, also in a Jujutsu High uniform, was Geto Suguru, who simply found them noisy.
He had no idea how Gojo Satoru could understand such an abstract description—something about doing it with a 'whoosh' and it was done.
In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that Gojo Satoru's talent was truly heaven-defying. After all, he possessed the 'Six Eyes.'
Gojo Satoru himself didn't know how to explain it. When he tried to release the Reverse Cursed Technique, he felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if he had already learned it before.
Following his instincts, he completed the Reverse Cursed Technique. And soon after, all sorts of developmental ideas began to surface.
For instance, using the Reverse Cursed Technique to repair his own body, combined with the Cursed Energy conservation of the Six Eyes, to achieve virtually infinite Cursed Energy, allowing him to keep his Limitless Cursed Technique active around the clock.
There was also destroying his brain and instantly repairing it with the Reverse Cursed Technique to bypass the technique burnout after opening a Domain, allowing him to open his Domain multiple times in a short period.
The Star Plasma Vessel escort mission was completed with great success. He couldn't even be bothered to recall the process; the so-called 'Heavenly Tyrant' was completely powerless against him now that he had learned the Reverse Cursed Technique.
And for some reason, Tengen's power had evolved. The absorption of the Star Plasma Vessel now only required absorbing the 'constitution,' which meant that Amani Riko also survived safely and even received a hefty reward.
Everything was so perfect. The corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth turned up, and he smiled with great joy...
...
"So, what's with you today, suddenly asking me out for a drink?"
The Supervisory Department's conference room had now become completely Gojo Satoru's one-man show, even transforming into his personal 'bedroom.'
Ever since he mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique and became the strongest in the Jujutsu world, no one could oppose him.
Not only that, but he had also taken on many students: Yuta Okkotsu, Fushiguro Megumi, Itadori Yuji, Mechamaru, Aoi Todo, Kinji Hakari...
All of them were excellent prospects who could soon stand on their own under his guidance. As a result, the entire council of elders was made obsolete, replaced by his students who now managed the big picture.
Gojo Satoru himself took care of all the Curse Users and High-Grade Cursed Spirits that reared their heads. From then on, the entire Jujutsu world was under his control, and humanity hardly needed to worry about the influence of Cursed Spirits anymore.
To prevent the issue of Cursed Spirits reviving, he even specifically imprisoned some self-aware Cursed Spirits. Under the threat of death, some of them chose to live peacefully.
"It's been a while since we hung out, Geto Suguru. What, not happy to see me?"
Gojo Satoru held an iced—sparkling water, the kind with excessive sugar content, while the drink prepared for Geto Suguru was beer.
"You say we're drinking, but you're not even having any. All you do is drink that sweet stuff all day."
"Sugar is still important. Besides, I can't get drunk. It would be bad if something happened and I wasn't in top condition."
"What could possibly happen now? Your students are all stronger than Special Grade. With them around, Cursed Spirits are no longer a threat."
With a click, Geto Suguru pulled the tab on the can and downed half of it in one go, chatting idly with Gojo Satoru.
He didn't know what Gojo Satoru was so busy with. He was already the strongest, yet he still only slept six or seven hours a day and worked year-round without a break. What was he working so hard for?
"If we want to solve the Cursed Spirit problem permanently, what we have now is not enough."
"I actually have a new idea. Just as humans can use the Reverse Cursed Technique to turn Cursed Energy into life force, couldn't Cursed Spirits do the same?"
Gojo Satoru suddenly raised this question. In a little over a decade, he had unified the entire Jujutsu world, and now he was getting into scientific research, his energy seemingly inexhaustible.
"So what if they can? The bodies of Cursed Spirits are different from humans. They can already use Cursed Energy to repair their bodies directly. Using the Reverse Cursed Technique would be suicide for them."
"No, that's not what I mean. If Cursed Energy can be reversed, is it possible for the Cursed Spirits themselves to change?"
"Then we could let Cursed Spirits truly integrate with humanity, and we would never have to worry about the Cursed Spirit problem again."
Gojo Satoru spoke of these seemingly nonsensical things, his mind always filled with so many fantastic ideas.
But this time, it wasn't a castle-in-the-sky fantasy. That sense of déjà vu appeared again, as if... as if he had really seen a Cursed Spirit that wanted to integrate with humanity.
Every time this feeling of déjà vu occurred, he would make a huge gain, like taking on a new student, mastering the Reverse Cursed Technique, or saving a massive number of people on the brink of death...
"So you just wanted to talk about this? Letting Cursed Spirits and humans live in harmony?"
"That's something that can only happen in dreams. Cursed Spirits are born on the opposite side of humanity from the very beginning."
Gojo Satoru looked at him with a smile, his expression incredibly peculiar. Is that so... it can only be done in a dream...
"It really is something that can only be done in a dream, isn't it? Drinking with you so leisurely like this," he said, his words holding a deeper meaning.
"Yeah, after all, we're usually busy as hell. It's not easy to get together." Geto Suguru acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, drinking by himself.
Being busy didn't matter. As long as reality could truly be like this, with everything moving in a wonderful direction, he didn't mind being busy.
"It's time to 'go home,' Gojo Satoru." As if seeing right through his thoughts, Geto Suguru finished his drink in one gulp and spoke to Gojo Satoru.
"Go home? Isn't this my bedroom? How can I go home?"
Gojo Satoru leaned back; the soft tatami mat and quilt behind him were extremely comfortable.
"You know that's not what I mean, Gojo Satoru."
"Do you trust your students that much?"
"..." Gojo Satoru fell silent for a moment.
"Of course I trust them. I'm just taking a little break. They'll be fine."
"Besides, even if I went back now, it wouldn't be much use. It's better to do something meaningful."
Gojo Satoru looked at the faintly glowing light in his hand—Senjutsu Chakra, as that person called it.
This power was completely different from Cursed Energy. It was more natural, harmonious, and also more powerful. If Cursed Energy was the 'negative emotions of humans,' then Senjutsu Chakra was the harmony between humans and nature.
If he could successfully master this power, not only would his own strength increase, but he might also truly find a path for humans and Cursed Spirits to coexist.
Lowering his hand, he looked at Geto Suguru, who had returned to normal as if he had forgotten their previous conversation, and picked up a can of beer for the first time in a long while.
"It's time to have a real drink. For the last time..."
