Chapter 3 - Jujutsu Sorcerers and Him

Zilton Lightfeather stood, observing the Hunter Unit. The Hunter Unit and Zilton were standing in front of a large screen. Displayed on the screen were images of two individuals. One had black hair, black eyes, and wore a dark blue jacket. The other person had blonde hair, black eyes, and wore a dark purple hoodie.

Zilton glanced at the screen and then turned to the Hunter Unit. There were seven Divine Soldiers who could use Divine Energy. Divine Energy is Cursed Energy; the Aliens refer to Cursed Energy as Divine Energy. The Hunter Unit's attire consisted of black caps, black buttoned shirts extending to the neck, and black buttoned trousers tucked into black high-laced boots.

They had gathered here to discuss the Jujutsu Sorcerers of Earth who use Divine Energy like them.

Zilton said, "These two individuals on screen are Jujutsu Sorcerers. They use Cursed Energy, which we call Divine Energy. There are many Jujutsu Sorcerers like them who use Cursed Energy." He then scanned every member of the Hunter Unit and continued, "Your job is to kill, and if possible, capture them, so we can extract more information about their use of Divine Energy. We captured a rogue Jujutsu Sorcerer some days ago, and we found that they can expand their Cursed Techniques on a broader level, which provides sure-hit effects. They can even recover their limbs or heal their injuries."

The Hunter Unit was stunned to hear this, especially coming from His Majesty. They never even imagined the use of Divine Energy on such a scale, especially the ability to recover limbs and heal injuries. They had always believed that their use of Divine Energy was the most efficient and advanced, yet they never expected such a "weak planet" to possess such a broader range of Divine Energy application.

Zilton was in deep contemplation before continuing, "I also found, after interrogating the rogue Jujutsu Sorcerer, that they possess recorded accounts of ancient sorcerers using the expansion of their techniques on a broader level, which provides sure-hit effects. Jujutsu Sorcerers call this method Domain Expansion. They also have information on how to use your Divine Energy to recover from injuries; this technique is called Reversed Cursed Technique."

He then turned to the screen and continued, "So, your first priority is to capture an official Jujutsu Sorcerer and use them to find their main base, where they keep recorded accounts on the use of Sorcery at a higher level."

Zilton then motioned for the subject on the screen to be changed, and a map was brought up. Zilton then turned to the Hunter Unit and said, "We have a plan to achieve what we want. We are going to capture some Earthlings who unconsciously leak Divine Energy to lure out the Jujutsu Sorcerers. When they attack, we will fight as normal.

But this time, the Hunter Unit will be hidden in the shadows and must suppress your Divine Energy. When the Jujutsu Sorcerers succeed and return to their base, you will follow them and locate their headquarters. Once you find it, you will send me the location, and I will be there as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

The Hunter Unit shouted in unison, "Yes, Sir! We understand. We will not disappoint you!"

Zilton then nodded and said, "Then let's begin."

...

In a forest, a large house was constructed from wood and stone. Its roof was pitched steeply from the middle, forming an inverted 'V' shape. Trees of many kinds covered the vast land. A large wall surrounded this main house for protection.

The house itself only covered a small space within the boundary. Many single-story buildings were also inside the walls. This was the Jujutsu Sorcerers' main base, where students received their training and sorcerers resided.

Inside this large boundary was a small forest where students practiced their sorcery. Currently, there were only four students, all of whom were third-year students in their final year. This was their last test, after which a new evaluation would take place to determine their new grade.

A small, wooden house was bustling with sorcerers. There were nine sorcerers in this house right now. They were looking at a screen where images of the four students were displayed at different locations. The students were two boys and two girls, their names were Sinma Kamo, Zota Zenin, Yuka Zenin, and Yuzu Gojo.

Sinma Kamo had a ponytail of long black hair wrapped with a thin, long piece of cloth. He had black eyes and wore a loose, buttonless shirt with wide sleeves and a dark blue sleeveless jacket on top. He wore dark blue loose trousers and a cloth ribbon around his neck.

Zota Zenin had short black hair and black eyes. He was tall and had an athletic build. He wore a half-sleeve black T-shirt and cargo pants.

Yuka Zenin had long black hair and black eyes, and she had a lean build. She wore a loose-sleeved T-shirt with a collar that tightly covered her neck. On top of the T-shirt was a sleeveless black jacket that reached her knees, and a skirt that reached her ankles.

Yuzu Gojo had long white hair and green eyes. She wore a dark blue blouse that reached her belly, and underneath it was a black T-shirt. She wore a skirt that reached her knees, and underneath were black leggings.

Everyone wore the same-colored dark blue shoes.

Everyone who sat in the house was looking at the students with hope—the hope of Earth, the hope of humanity, the hope of Jujutsu Sorcerers, and the hope of a new age.

In this test, the students first have to kill the Cursed Spirits hidden in the forest and then must find each other to fight. The student who wins the most matches will be the winner. Regardless of whether they lose or win, everyone is going to pass the test. It was merely a formality designed to make their last year a memorable one, so they would not feel like they simply passed the third year and were still stuck there.

...

Two men in the darkness, holding a flaming torch, were descending the stairs. It was a long staircase going deep into the ground. After some time, they stepped onto the floor and stood in front of a glass cylindrical containerl. Light from the torch danced on the container, and inside the container lay a naked man.

One man asked, "Who is he?"

The other man smiled, bowed, and answered, "Lord Sukuna's Vessel. Lord Sukuna will revive once again to split not just the world, but the Universe. Chaos will descend upon not just the earth, but the universe. He will light the darkness with the Fire of Destruction!"
