Hikaru Kuganami's complaints were like a drizzle to Gojo Satoru. Not only did he not care, he even generously shared his experience with him.
"Don't worry, since I learned the Reverse Curse Technique, my brain hasn't fried anymore. I suggest you learn it quickly too. The only thing that can save you is probably the Reverse Curse Technique."
"...Reverse Curse Technique?"
Hikaru Kuganami perked up, knowing that this was probably related to the ability system of those with special abilities, and it was about healing.
"Speaking of which, Hikaru—did I get the name right?" Gojo Satoru suddenly put his arm around Hikaru Kuganami's shoulder in a friendly manner. "What grade are you in now? You should consider transferring schools."
Although he wasn't familiar with Gojo Satoru, the other person directly called him by name, and Hikaru Kuganami didn't bother to correct him. "Why are you suddenly talking about transferring…"
"To Tokyo Jujutsu High. It's full of companions, and you don't have to work so hard to hide yourself."
Gojo Satoru concisely explained to Hikaru Kuganami.
Soon, Hikaru Kuganami understood. People with special abilities like Gojo Satoru were called Jujutsu sorcerers, and Jujutsu sorcerers had special schools. The strange things he had occasionally seen were called curses, and the things that made Gojo Satoru's brain overload with information, making his head spin, were called techniques.
Cursed energy is negative energy, born from the negative emotions of the human heart. Negative times negative equals positive, which means the Reverse Curse Technique can achieve a healing effect.
Although Hikaru Kuganami's Six Eyes only lasted for a day, he didn't doubt that he could become a Jujutsu sorcerer.
Even without the Six Eyes, he could still see curses before, and he had even dealt with them. Therefore, he was very eager to learn the Reverse Curse Technique, which could heal his body, and he felt that he should be able to learn it.
However, Hikaru Kuganami didn't intend to go to Tokyo Jujutsu High.
From Gojo Satoru's words, he could tell that the Six Eyes couldn't be turned off. It had been like this ever since Gojo Satoru was born. In other words, even if the Six Eyes were common, Hikaru Kuganami's situation of constantly changing eyes was very strange. No matter how friendly Gojo Satoru was, he didn't dare to take that risk.
It just so happened that the Six Eyes were like a cheat code, and he could directly see his own cursed energy and Gojo Satoru's use of the Reverse Curse Technique. So Hikaru Kuganami was eager to learn the Reverse Curse Technique right now, so he wouldn't have to continue interacting with the Jujutsu world.
… To be honest, he didn't understand the Reverse Curse Technique very well, but it wouldn't hurt to try. There was an expert right in front of him, and he wouldn't have to worry if something went wrong.
However, as soon as Hikaru Kuganami "looked" inside his body, wanting to "see" what his technique looked like, his mind suddenly buzzed, and then his throat felt sweet, almost spitting out another mouthful of blood.
Gojo Satoru immediately shouted to stop and supported Hikaru Kuganami, who was swaying, "Here, glucose."
After another bottle of glucose was poured down, Hikaru Kuganami finally recovered.
"Your body really can't handle it." Gojo Satoru's face was full of "You're so weak." "Let's not push it for now."
Hikaru Kuganami rubbed his forehead in pain, "Sorry, my body wasn't this bad before…"
This was definitely the Six Eyes' fault! He should wait until tomorrow when his eyes returned to normal before trying again.
"You need to transfer schools, your body won't be able to handle it." Gojo Satoru said naturally, "I'll have the family doctor and nutritionist take a look at you later and see how to adjust your health."
Hikaru Kuganami was stunned for a moment. It sounded like he had already decided to transfer schools? Gojo Satoru was so enthusiastic about recruiting students for the school. Did the school belong to the Gojo family?
He quickly refused, "It's not about money. Besides, with my body, I can only do limited missions. I'm probably not suitable to be a Jujutsu sorcerer. I won't be able to help you much…"
"That's true. If you don't learn the Reverse Curse Technique, you probably won't live past twenty."
Hikaru Kuganami was speechless.
Although he knew he was in poor health, wasn't living past twenty a bit too much? His bottom line was sixty!
But even if the side effects of the Six Eyes today caused Gojo Satoru's judgment to be off, even doubling it would only be forty. That was really hard for him to accept.
"...Are you exaggerating? I went for a checkup, and the doctor just told me to take care of myself…"
"No, your technique has been fully activated. If you continue to lose control like this, your health will only deteriorate rapidly."
"..."
Gojo Satoru smiled and patted Hikaru Kuganami's shoulder, "So what do you think? Consider it? Or are you planning to learn the Reverse Curse Technique on your own without even being able to control your cursed energy? You're very brave. I didn't have your level of difficulty back then. Good luck."
Hikaru Kuganami's face turned black.
Giving someone a terminal diagnosis with such a carefree attitude, so annoying! But the other person did offer a solution, and it was him who didn't want to accept it. He couldn't even scold him…
The scariest thing was that even though Gojo Satoru gave off a very unserious vibe, Hikaru Kuganami felt that Gojo Satoru wasn't lying when it came to his health.
After much thought, Hikaru Kuganami began to ask Gojo Satoru preemptively, "How does your Jujutsu world define insiders and outsiders? Do ordinary people's laws apply? Are there any operations like those in movies, where they dissect people…"
Gojo Satoru blinked, his beautiful sky-blue eyes revealing a look of understanding, "Don't worry, none of those things will happen. I'm the strongest."
Hikaru Kuganami, whose delusional disorder was resurfacing, wanted to retort, "You're the strongest, what does that have to do with whether I'll be dissected or not," but he reluctantly understood that Gojo Satoru would protect him, so he didn't ask further. Although he was very worried that once his secret was exposed, Gojo Satoru would be the first to change his attitude…
But, maybe Gojo Satoru didn't care. Although his eyes were strange, he could still see curses without the Six Eyes. He was definitely one of them, right?
Hikaru Kuganami agreed to stay at the Gojo residence with some trepidation, planning to ask for a day off from school first.
He would see how Gojo Satoru acted tomorrow when his Six Eyes disappeared, and then he would talk about other things.
After confirming Hikaru Kuganami's thoughts, Gojo Satoru seemed to have other things to do, so he left Hikaru Kuganami with the woman in the kimono he had seen when he woke up.
Hikaru Kuganami discovered that the Gojo family was truly a large family, with more background than he had imagined. This was not only reflected in the sprawling mansion, but also in the fact that the people he encountered along the way, when they saw him, a stranger, were all extremely courteous, so polite that Hikaru Kuganami almost thought that Gojo Satoru had already put the "I'm your dad" statement into practice, telling everyone that he was the head of the household's son.
Hikaru Kuganami, who still didn't understand the rarity of the Six Eyes and thought it was Gojo Satoru who had said something, asked others and confirmed that Gojo Satoru hadn't done that. After much thought, he felt that this was probably what a large family was like, he was just too naive.
He had a long-awaited, very sumptuous dinner at the Gojo residence. Before going to sleep, Hikaru Kuganami was still regretting that his eyes would return to normal tomorrow. He wondered if Gojo Satoru would turn on him. He really hoped he would have another chance to freeload.
Hikaru Kuganami thought he would have trouble sleeping, but perhaps his body was really exhausted. After lying down in bed, he quickly fell asleep and slept soundly until dawn.
The next day, Hikaru Kuganami woke up nervously and was stunned to discover something.
Why were his eyes still the Six Eyes? Shouldn't they have returned to normal?
Quickly, quickly, think about what was different from before—the only difference was that he had encountered the Six Eyes! He had never encountered anyone else with special eyes before!
Hikaru Kuganami fell into deep suspicion.
Could it be that his eyes were actually influenced by metaphysics, and the probability of having the Six Eyes would increase because he had encountered the Six Eyes?!
Thinking about it, it was very likely, and even his soul felt a deep certainty about this guess.
Then what else was there to say? Run away!
He had asked others about the Reverse Curse Technique yesterday. This Gojo Satoru was said to be a super genius, raised in a Jujutsu family, and he had only learned it at the age of seventeen. He was already seventeen years old now, and the probability of learning the Reverse Curse Technique before he died was incredibly low!
He might not be able to learn the Reverse Curse Technique, but without the pressure of the Six Eyes, he was 100% guaranteed to live a few more years!
So, when Gojo Satoru came to find Hikaru Kuganami, Hikaru Kuganami, who thought there were many Six Eyes in Jujutsu High and felt that his lifespan was seriously affected, blurted out a sentence.
"I thought about it, and I think transferring schools is out of the question. I'm not really short of money… I mean, everyone dies, sooner or later. Sometimes the difference isn't that big…"
Gojo Satoru: "...???"
Although he didn't quite understand why Hikaru Kuganami's attitude had changed so drastically, Gojo Satoru was stunned for a moment before asking with a smile, "Do you want to leave now?"
Hikaru Kuganami nodded, "Can I?"
"Hmm… Of course." Gojo Satoru stroked his chin, seeming very casual, "But if you continue like this, you probably won't live past this year…"
Hikaru Kuganami was shocked, "Didn't you say twenty years old yesterday?!"
"That was calculated based on you transferring to Jujutsu High." Gojo Satoru said confidently, "And I didn't know yesterday that someone was about to investigate you. If you go home like this, those rotten oranges on top will definitely kill you once they find you."
Hikaru Kuganami immediately became nervous, "What investigation? Someone wants to kill me? Why?"
"Because you can use the Six Eyes."
Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses, pointed at his own eyes, "It appears once every few hundred years. They've had enough of just me. And they can't kill me, but they can definitely kill you."
Hikaru Kuganami: "...???!!!"
—Ah?! The Six Eyes are actually that rare?! You should have told me this earlier!!!
