"Welp, guess I am stuck as a grade one for one more year," Keitaro said with a deflating sigh, resignation was seen all over his face. To think that he had all the attack power and all the requirements of a special grade but just because the higher-ups only had info on him during his last year in the school, he was stuck at grade one.
To be fair, he preferred it like this, he did not want the higher-ups to know the full scope of his curse technique as in his humble opinion it was none of their business.
From what he could gather from his own opinion of them that he had formed after meeting them a couple of times.
It was better if they did not know the full scope of his abilities, Keitaro was in no real mood to listen to them asking him to reveal the secret to natural energy.
Those old heads were probably thinking of some way to monopolize for themself, a way to make their hold on the jujutsu society tighter.
He would be dammed if he gave them that chance, from what he had gathered, not everyone could use it. For example, Satoru, someone blessed by curse energy itself couldn't really get it, due to him possessing the six eyes.
Under normal circumstances the six eyes would have made it easier to achieve this state but because the six eyes are inherently bound to curse energy so is Gojo. The more bound to curse energy someone was, the less likely they would be able to feel it.
So someone completely opposite to Gojo, like Toji, with a heavenly restriction like his, was more likely to use that energy than Gojo. Matter of fact Keitaro had a gut feeling that this was the energy Toji's body was using.
His lack of presence and the feeling he gave Keitaro were familiar to his new heightened state.
Gojo chuckled a bit upon hearing Keitaro accepting his fate of being a grade one. "Heh, you probably won't stay a grade one forever, after all, you're the only one who can keep up with me after all"
"And what differences does that make?" Keitaro questioned dryly. Last time he checked to become a special grade someone had to have enough power to overthrow a country, so even if power plays a huge part in it, their ability does too.
So even if in theory he could technically beat the other 2 special grades by himself mid-difficulty... Extreme diff if they jumped him. He was still not considered a special grade for the simple fact he couldn't destroy a country of his own.
He has very destructive as in Indra arrows which he can use because of his Vajra gloves but even that move can only destroy a town.
Plus that technique drained him so chances are, it would probably take him a while before he could finish the job.
Though with sage mode, he could probably finish it up in a day, with his enhanced stats, he could just spam his teleportation curse technique and kill everyone in sight to them it would be like a lightning strike killed them.
As if their lives were claimed by a natural calamity before they could react.
Gojo's smile widened, if Keitaro didnt know any better he would have thought he was just smiling but he knew Gojo, this man was up to some mischievous stuff "Well, let's just say....it means you are technically a special grade sorcerer now."
Keitaro's eyes narrowed a bit, this was not normal. "Technically?" he echoed, suspicion creeping into his voice. "Satoru...did you threaten them?"
Gojo feigned innocence holding up his hands in the hair as if to surrender. "Me? Threaten them? Never? why would I ever do that?" Gojo's voice sounded like that of a child trying his hardest not to lie to his parents.
"Satoru..."Keitaro's voice grumbled as he looked at his friend.
"Well, maybe I did say some stuff"Gojo explained with a soft smile.
"Go on" Keitaro inquired.
"Well maybe I had a very good talk with them about a special one-second sorcerer with the ability to push me to my limits," He said with a playful wink
"You threatened the higher-up....wow," Keitaro said with what seemed to be an exasperated expression on his face.
"It was either that or have people believing I get beaten by a grade one....we can't have that around here," Gojo said with a prideful look.
"Aw, can't your poor ego handle being defeated by a grade one, is the great Satoru Gojo a fraud, who gets carried by his limitless technique" Keitaro teased to which Gojo just looked annoyed.
"I had enough of random Zenin members trying to fight me after they learned domain amplification," Gojo said holding his head a bit, he looked annoyed.
Keitaro couldn't help but burst out laughing, this had made his day.
Gojo must have been pretty annoyed seeing a bunch of grade one trying to challenge into a fight, he could see it now.
He could picture the look that Gojo would have on his face and it was priceless.
A/N... all you have to keep in mind...is this quote.
"The Six Eyes, designed to analyze and manipulate cursed energy, simply couldn't recognize something so fundamentally different. The more attuned one was to curse energy, the less likely they were to even sense this natural energy, let alone utilize it."
This quote alone... eliminates the Gojo clan, Zenin clan, and Kamo clan.
Megumi is excluded because his dad had a heavenly restriction and Maki....she has a heavenly restriction.
Yuji probably can use it...though I heavily doubt it.
Yuta will have a very hard time trying to use it, under normal circumstances he shouldn't be able to use it due to his(spoiler) but he seemed like the kind of guy to be able to pull it off.
Any ancient sorcerer show in the show wouldn't be able to use it.....2 reasons, way too bound to curse energy for that.
That includes the one who took backshots and the one who liked being inside teenage boys without their consent I might add...
