As Kenzo absorbed the knowledge from the book, he felt a surge of understanding. The information about the Simple Domain skill became a part of his own.
{Skill Acquired: Simple Domain} - Simple Domain is an anti-domain technique that erects a small barrier around the user to protect them from the effects of a Domain Expansion.
Kenzo experimented with the newly acquired Simple Domain skill. His mana formed a circle around him, but it appeared unstable and weak. He could feel the intricacies of trying to create a defensive barrier against a Domain Expansion, especially without the usual curse energy that Jujutsu Sorcerers typically employed.
He focused, attempting to reinforce the barrier, making it more resilient.
Gojo observed Kenzo's experimentation with the Simple Domain, his eyes assessing the structure that was gradually taking shape
"So just like in a game, you have to grind it up huh.."Gojo said looking at Kenzo's simple domain before something popped up in his mind and he handed Kenzo another book before saying "Read it"
Kenzo started to read the book while Gojo was annoying him in the background it was very hard for him to focus
Gojo continued to make random comments and jokes as Kenzo tried to concentrate on the book.
"You know, mastering a Domain is like learning to ride a bike. Once you get it, you never forget, and you look cool doing it," Gojo said with a grin.
As Kenzo delved into the book, trying to absorb the intricate details of the Simple Domain technique, Gojo couldn't resist being a bit of a nuisance. He playfully poked Kenzo in the side, distracting him.
"Hey, Kenzo, you're reading like it's some ancient grimoire. Lighten up, it's just a book," Gojo teased.
Kenzo, growing increasingly annoyed, shot a stern look at Gojo. "Could you please let me focus? This is important."
"But I am bored, "Gojo said batting his eyes at Kenzo as if trying to look adorable to which Kenzo just looked annoyed.
As Kenzo earnestly continued reading the book, Gojo seemed to find delight in persistent annoyance. He would tap Kenzo on the shoulder, making him lose his place, and then pretend it was an innocent mistake.
"Oops, my bad," Gojo said with a grin, as Kenzo sighed in frustration and went back to the text.
Gojo continued his antics, making silly faces, pulling faces, and even whistling a tune softly. Each time Kenzo showed signs of irritation, Gojo would feign innocence.
"Are you sure you can handle the great responsibility of domain expansion with that serious face?" Gojo mused, looking overly concerned.
Kenzo, trying to maintain his composure, gritted his teeth. "Gojo, I'm serious about this. Stop messing around."
Gojo simply laughed, "Come on, Kenzo, lighten up! It's not every day you learn something new."
Kenzo's frustration reached its peak, and he threw a punch at Gojo, only to be met with an invisible barrier. It was as if an impenetrable shield surrounded Gojo, effortlessly halting Kenzo's punch.
Gojo chuckled, looking amused. "You've got a long way to go, my friend. But that punch... not bad. Keep practicing."
"It could probably have hit me if you were stronger," Gojo teased, to which Kenzo looked annoyed. That damn sensei of his had some sort of busted power that made it impossible to hit him.
"How is this fair?" Kenzo muttered, feeling the frustration building up. He was earnestly trying to master this new skill, and here was Gojo, effortlessly dodging every attempt at a punch.
Gojo's grin widened. "Life isn't always fair, Kenzo. Consider this a lesson." He then handed Kenzo another book, clearly intending to continue the training.
As Kenzo delved into the contents of the book, his understanding of the Simple Domain skill deepened. It was like pieces of a puzzle falling into place, and with each revelation, the skill seemed to evolve.
{Skill Simple Domain has leveled up} x5
The notifications flashed in Kenzo's mind, indicating that he was making progress. The unstable circle around him started to gain definition, becoming more solid and controlled. He could sense the subtle changes, the strengthening of the protective barrier.
'So I was right, that's how it works' Gojo thought to himself upon seeing that, it seemed like this kid curse technique had the potential to be absolutely busted, and to be fair he was here for it.
Maybe he would gain an equal in due time.
"Take this"Gojo said handing him a book that Kenzo took, it seemed like it was a book about curse energy control, and before he could ask Gojo more the man was gone.
Kenzo found himself alone, clutching the book Gojo had given him. As he opened it, he realized it contained detailed insights into the intricate art of curse energy control. The information was dense, and he knew it would take time to grasp the nuances.
Little did he know that all the book that Gojo had given him came from the Library of the Gojo clan...Gojo wanted to see how much he could improve and so he nudged a bit toward the correct direction.
Now it was all up to him to decide his fate and Kenzo had chosen.
Kenzo sighed, realizing the weight of the challenges ahead. The road to mastering his newfound abilities seemed daunting, but a spark of determination flickered in his eyes. He closed the book, ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and power.
"Grinding, huh?" he muttered to himself. "Well, I've got a lot of work to do." As he continued to study the arcane knowledge within the pages, Kenzo Tatsu, the once ordinary student, embraced the extraordinary path laid out before him. Little did he know, this journey into the depths of jujutsu would not only reshape his abilities but also the course of his destiny.
