The next few weeks were relatively peaceful. Jotaro was scratching his head as he flipped through a thin book in the training grounds of the Kamo Clan headquarters. With a sigh, he tossed the book aside, only for his Stand to catch it.
Now, beside him, the floating book flipped its pages rapidly, with Star Platinum observing every detail in mere seconds.
Jotaro smiled. While he had read its contents himself, it didn't mean Jotaro was now an expert in hand-to-hand combat and at the same time using all his free time to learn how to fight with his body did not sound that good for Jotaro.
Jojo wanted to speed up the process of learning how to fight so he decided to experiment in another way.
Fortunately, his body was already in excellent shape, thanks to his Joestar genetics, which were remarkably strong. His physical strength, even without using cursed energy or his Stand, was already at a peak human level. The same went for his durability and reflexes. Jotaro was confident he could fight five professional fighters at once and emerge victorious, even without formal training.
No, even that could be considered an understatement. After all, in the original series, Jotaro had his body reverted to when he was a child, literally becoming a 10y old child and managed to beat a grown man to a pulp without his stand, only using his small fists.
'This body really is something else.' He thought while flexing his bicep.
With his body confirmed to be ready, the plan was simple. Since his Stand's observational abilities far surpassed his own, he would rely on them for training.
Star Platinum had already finished memorizing the book a while ago. With the book now on left on the ground, Jotaro stepped closer to his Stand, which floated silently beside him. In the next moment, Star Platinum phased into his body, the two becoming one.
Jotaro raised his arm and thrust his hand forward, extending his palm in a martial arts technique. His posture was stiff, and while it was powerful due to his large body, it was inefficient. However, that didn't matter since Star Platinum corrected his stance before Jotaro could even realize the mistake.
'It might work' Jotaro thought with a satisfied grin. He continued this process for over an hour, hoping his muscle memory would do its job as he practiced technique after technique. Eventually, it was time to take things a step further.
Star Platinum materialized in front of him, standing two meters away. This time, the Stand wasn't floating in its usual confident manner but instead shifted into a combat-ready stance. Its posture was grounded but felt unfit for how Star Platinum was build, inefficient. Still, for Jotaro's sake, this had to be done for now.
"Let's see how this goes," Jotaro thought, mimicking his Stand's stance. The two faced off.
Jotaro made the first move, throwing a punch. Star Platinum extended its right palm, limiting its speed to Jotaro's, and deflected the punch to the side. Before Jotaro could react, a purple fist moved toward his face, phasing through his head like a ghost.
A bead of sweat slid down Jotaro's forehead. He had instructed Star Platinum to hold back its power and match his speed, limiting everything to match his user's ability, yet the battle was over in an instant, it felt unfair.
"Again," Jotaro murmured, resetting his stance. Before he and his stand could continue, the sound of deliberate footsteps drew Jotaro's attention. Shino, an elder of the Kamo Clan, approached with his hands clasped behind his back.
"The master is looking for you," Shino said simply.
Jotaro lowered his arms as Star Platinum disappeared. "What for?" he asked bluntly.
Shino clicked his tongue. "You live here rent-free and still have an attitude," he muttered before continuing, "It's just a simple investigation. Since the clan recently changed leadership, we need to maintain our reputation as a strong and capable group. Sending you on a mission to build some credibility as a Special Grade would be essential."
Jotaro was silent for a moment. Then he adjusted his hat and stepped forward. "Lead the way old man."
Pulling something from his pocket, Shino said "First, take this," handing something to Jotaro. It was a small ID card.
Jotaro took the card and looked at it for a moment. It had his name, age and a few other details
"Special Grade, huh?" he remarked, a bit surprised. He hadn't expected the higher-ups to not only revoke his execution order but also grant him the status of a Special Grade sorcerer so easily. The process had lasted no more than a few weeks. 'Working with one of the three great clans of the jujutsu world has its perks'
A reputation was already build in the jujutsu world, within the span of a single month, Jotaro had joined Jujutsu High, been expelled, had an execution order placed on his head, and then had it revoked as the Kamo clan sided with him.

Later that day.
Through the dense traffic, inside a black sedan, a black-haired girl sat in the back seat, wearing a traditional miko outfit with her legs crossed, she scrolled through information on her mobile.
"A cursed object sealed near the gate area disappeared recently," she said aloud in a formal tone, professional and calm. "At the same time, a strong cursed presence was detected in the vicinity of the area."
In the front seat, a woman focused intently on driving while another one, younger with white hair gazed silently out the window, watching the passing scenery.
"Sounds time-consuming," she said, keeping her gaze on the passing cars.
