Chapter 129 For the Azure Future!!
"In my opinion, Special Grade Sorcerers are those who deviate from the conventional ranks. Grade 1 Sorcerers are the ones who guide the other Sorcerers, and indeed, the entire Jujutsu world.
The level of risk, secrecy, and salary... is miles apart from Semi-Grade 1 Sorcerers and below.
Now that you have heard my words, repeat what you just said."
In Principal Gakuganji's office, the conservative elder stroked his beard and questioned the two people in front of him.
Of the three existing Special Grade Sorcerers in Japan, only Gojo Satoru is seriously fulfilling the duty of exorcising Cursed Spirits, yet even he is completely at odds with the Higher-Ups.
But this is also the reason why many people tolerate him without limits.
As for the remaining two Special Grade Sorcerers? They are completely the type that neither listens to orders nor takes commands.
Okkotsu Yuta has been training and seeking Cursed Tools overseas as per Gojo's instructions, and Yuki Tsukumo completely disregards the responsibility of exorcising Cursed Spirits, often being unreachable even by the Jujutsu High schools.
Should the Jujutsu world be sustained by such Special Grade Sorcerers?
Gakuganji has always believed throughout his life that rules are more important than individual willfulness.
If everyone were so willful, the Jujutsu world and even the entire human society would have perished long ago.
Therefore, while conservative rules may be somewhat pedantic, they have been the pillar supporting the continued existence of the Jujutsu world until today.
However, this kind of question is truly superfluous for Mei Mei and Todo Aoi, two Sorcerers who fundamentally don't place much importance on rules.
"Panda, Zen'in Maki..."
"Fushiguro Megumi, Kugisaki Nobara... and my best friend, Itadori Yuji."
"We recommend the above five people be promoted to Grade 1 Sorcerers."
The normal promotion system in the Jujutsu world is based on recommendation.
Except for special cases like Emiya, who couldn't be held back by difficulty and achieved brilliant results, every Jujutsu High student and freelance Sorcerer cannot escape this step.
A candidate recommended by two or more Grade 1 Sorcerers must complete several missions alongside a current Grade 1 or equivalent Sorcerer.
If the candidate is deemed eligible based on this, they are promoted to Semi-Grade 1, which allows them to be assigned Grade 1 difficulty missions independently.
Finally, based on the results of those missions, it is decided whether the candidate is qualified to become a formal Grade 1 Sorcerer.
Regarding these matters, Todo Aoi had sufficient reason to state—
"My brother will definitely receive a recommendation, and based on Sukuna's refusal to cooperate, his mission difficulty will certainly be increased..."
"Do you know what this means? Mr. Emiya, Ms. Mei!"
Todo Aoi posed the question to the two people standing in front of him, and then began to seek the proof—
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he raised his hands and spoke on his own: "An azure future!
This means that the azure future of Todo Aoi and Itadori Yuji carrying out missions together exists, that's what I'm talking about!"
If Eso and Kechizu were about moving brotherly affection, this guy is completely a terrifying lone devotee.
"No..."
Mei Mei was about to speak, but she was suddenly interrupted by Todo Aoi—
"You mean the Grade 1 Sorcerer accompanying him on the mission may not be me, is that what you were trying to say?
But without a doubt, just like fruit falling from a tree to the ground, we are so attracted to each other.
That's right, this is... Destiny!"
What a pure and fervent emotion. Such perfect brotherhood would usually be celebrated by people.
Therefore...
"No, I meant that only Grade 1 Sorcerers other than the recommenders can execute missions with the candidate.
Compared to you executing a mission with him being completely impossible, Mr. Emiya, as his teacher here, has a slight possibility of being assigned to him."
Mei Mei's cruel words were like a steel knife that not only annihilated Todo Aoi 's fervent heart but then plunged in with a fierce stab.
He was now completely petrified.
Why did he, just moments ago, drag Emiya away with the reason that he wanted to personally recommend his best friend, resulting in him personally pushing away the opportunity to fight alongside his best friend?
Todo Aoi instantly lost all internal drive and was unable to recover.
"Let's go, Emiya-kun.
Mr. Todo will clearly need some time to digest this information he can't accept."
Mei Mei had no obligation to care about Todo Aoi, nor did she have any intention of comforting him, because he hadn't paid her.
To prevent wasting any more time, she simply dragged Emiya, who felt a little apologetic, away.
After leaving the Sorcerer's base building, Mei Mei completely dropped her previous restraint and stretched hugely in front of Emiya without a care, letting her beautiful curves be completely exposed to him.
"So I'm a bit unable to understand, why didn't you just remove the Special Grade Cursed Objects from those two guys' bodies?
Even if you don't turn them over to Jujutsu High for the bounty, you could completely sell them independently, and the price would surely be higher."
Mei Mei was referring to the brothers Eso and Kechizu.
It is evident that she would even be willing to resell such dangerous Special Grade Cursed Objects for money, clearly not the type to abide by rules.
"I know you might not value this kind of emotion much, but if they truly possess a brotherhood dependent on life and death... isn't there still the number one, Choso? We also can't rule out the possibility that they have simultaneously found the other seven Death Paintings.
Some people, for the sake of emotion, are willing to jump into a trap even though they know it's a certain death."
Emiya knew that the reason of obtaining intelligence wouldn't convince her, so it was better to use the more tangible reason of potential future battle outcomes.
"Is that so? That's really difficult to understand, this kind of human emotion... and they can't even fully be counted as human, can they?
It's too stupid to die together just because they can't live together."
Mei Mei can respect this emotion, but it's too difficult for her, who prioritizes money above all else, to understand it.
People who can create value are family, and providing even a slight benefit to family members without value is already considered a risky investment.
"But you're right, with your Cursed Technique for forging, you absolutely don't need to worry about money... Would you consider cooperating with me? I have quite a few companies I invest in."
Perhaps for Mei Mei, Emiya's Cursed Technique that allows him to forge Cursed Tools freely is the most significant thing about him.
"Hmm... I don't have that ambition yet, but didn't Gojo-sensei say that you also have a brother who is a Sorcerer, Ms. Mei Mei?"
Emiya felt that Mei Mei, who also had a blood relative, shouldn't completely detach herself from this kind of kinship, right?
Didn't Gojo Satoru also say that they usually operate together?
"You mean Ui Ui? Indeed, he is already quite excellent as a Sorcerer, but unfortunately, I can't bring him along for this mission.
We can talk about Barrier Techniques when we get back."
"Oh? Where are we going?"
"To investigate and capture the internal spy—the one from Kyoto High."
