TSCJTTM CH6 Jujutsu High and Entrance Interview

"Alright then!! There is a whole lot of fun waiting for you in your future. Now, you have a few days to pack your stuff and prepare yourself. Where are you staying?" Gojo asked.

"XXXXX XXXXXX Hotel. Just ask for me at the reception and they should be able to guide you to me easily." Rudra replied.

"Okay, We will come to pick you up in a few days. We have to solve a few things regarding Itadori before that. Once we are done with that we will guide you through the process to join Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School."

"You will be joining the First Year Batch. Incidentally, you will join as the Third Student in the batch, or the Fourth if we are able to get Itadori to join us too." Gojo said cheerfully.

"Whatever, third or fourth doesn't make a difference to me as long as I can learn how to control my power better and get stronger. I am leaving for now, see you in a few days." Rudra said as he jumped out of the building with a casual wave as farewell.

For the next few days, Rudra spent all his effort in gathering skill points. He had a lot of skill templates saved up due to him designing skills in his idle time and saving them. After these past few days of effort, he had finally accumulated 26000 skill points.

'First I will get Reverse Cursed Technique and Simple Domain to completely cover all the basic cursed energy utilization paths as a Jujutsu Sorcerer. After getting these two along with my previous skills, I will have the means to use Cursed Energy for Attack, Defense, Support, Miscellaneous, and even Healing.' Rudra thought as he used his skill points.

After using 10000 points for Reverse Cursed Technique and 6000 for Simple Domain, he was left with 10000 points. Seeing that he grinned in relief and excitement.

"What a lucky coincidence!! Only 10000 points left, just enough for one of the skills I was planning to redeem next. Lets go for it: Skill Fusion."

[Skill Fusion]

[By using up a small amount of Skill Points, User can fuse two or more skills and form a new improved skill that contains properties of its constituent skills or is an evolved version of them. Amount of skill points required for fusion depends on the quality and quantity of skills.]

[Skill Points needed: 10000]

Rudra had created Skill Fusion because he noticed that eventually he would accumulate a large amount of skills as he grows stronger in the future. While he could delete some of them with his power, it would be a very inefficient thing to do because he had paid Skill Points to redeem them.

However, with Skill Fusion he would have the ability to fuse the redundant skills into stronger ones that he can use as he grows stronger. He would also be able to fuse Cursed Techniques he would probably acquire in future, through Absorbing Curses, into his main one so that he can prevent other Jujutsu Sorcerers from getting suspicious.

Even right now, Rudra had already made a few plans to make his current Cursed Technique stronger. The most effective one he could think of was to fuse Cursed Technique: Fear Aura with Curse Absorption. This combination should allow him to create a Cursed Technique that would paralyze the curses while he absorbs them, increasing the power and effectiveness by multiple folds.

Two days after he redeemed Reverse Cursed Technique, Simple Domain, and Skill Fusion, Gojo arrived to take him to Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. Rudra had already placed all his valuables in his inventory long ago, so he left with Gojo immediately.

They picked up Itadori on the way as he was also joining the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. They traveled to a secluded place on the outskirts of Tokyo in the midst of woods and mountains.

"Its really deep in the mountains. Is this really Tokyo?" Itadori asked while walking beside Rudra and Gojo on the path winding through the mountains.

"This is the outskirts of Tokyo and it looks like this." Gojo replied.

"Where is Fushiguro?" Itadori inquired.

Gojo smiled as he replied, "He got his wounds treated by a Jujutsu Sorcerer. He is resting now in Deep Sleep."

He then informed them about some background information on their destination. Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School was one of the two major institutions in Japan for Jujutsu Sorcerers. Tokyo Jujutsu High serves not only as a training ground for the next generation of sorcerers but a headquarters for all alumni who have graduated on to be full-fledged Jujutsu sorcerers as well.

All sorcerers play a role in mentoring Jujutsu students, whether in a teacher's role or accompanying them on missions. Weaker sorcerers are assigned the roles of windows, someone who can see curses but is not considered a full-fledged sorcerer or managers to contribute as well.

The Jujutsu schools are considered the place for the community and provide mediation, general support, education, and shelter. Rudra was surprised by the sheer size of it and the amount of responsibilities it undertook.

Tokyo Jujutsu High was a broad campus of several buildings build in a traditional Japanese architectural style, operating under the guise of a Buddhist temple. The school building was well hidden on Tokyo's outskirts, far and high in the mountains. Naturally, there were a lot of trees around the property to further obscure the location.

Some elements other than the buildings reflected the Buddhist theme. There were several statues of deities, shrines, and torii gates around the campus. There were several entrances into the school. The school grounds included training grounds, courtyards, dormitories, and classrooms, among a variety of other amenities.

After a basic walk around the campus, Gojo guided them towards the Administration Building where they would have an interview for admission into the school.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, If you fail the interview then you wont be admitted." Gojo said with a cheeky smile, "So do your best both of you."

Itadori immediately protested, "Doesn't that mean I will be executed immediately if that happens?"

"Well I don't care either way. It was you who invited me to study here, not the other way around." Rudra said as he put on an indifferent front. In fact, he was just as anxious as Itadori, because failing to join the academy meant failing the system's mission and losing the amazing rewards.

Sukuna emerged at that moment to taunt Gojo and annoy Itadori. This proved to Gojo that while Itadori could suppress Sukuna within himself, it was not as if he was completely powerless and sealed.

Rudra quietly observed Sukuna who was manifesting through a mouth that would randomly open on Itadori's body. He wondered if he could devour immensely powerful curses like Sukuna once he fuses and evolves his Cursed Technique and the amount of Skill Points he would gain if he succeeded.

After seeing the antics of Sukuna, Gojo informed them of Sukuna's history upon Itadori's inquiry.

Ryomen Sukuna was a mighty cursed spirit known as the undisputed King of Curses. According to a legend, during the golden age of jujutsu over 1,000 years ago, Sukuna was an Imaginary Demon, though in truth was a human sorcerer, and other sorcerers gave their all to defeat him.

After his death, he became a cursed spirit, and his curse was too strong for his body to be fully destroyed. Until Itadori swallowed Sukuna's fingers and became his vessel, Jujutsu Sorcerer had no way to destroy his remains of 20 indestructible fingers. They could only keep them preserved in grave wax and seal them, as they traversed the ages as cursed objects, ever growing in power.

However, Gojo boasted that while it would be hard to defeat a fully resurrected Sukuna, Gojo could still defeat him and win. Before Either Rudra or Itadori could ask more about this, they reached the Hall where Principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High was waiting for them.

Itadori was interviewed first and Rudra watched him realize his own motivation to a Jujutsu Sorcerer. After Itadori passed, the principal then turned towards him.

"And what about you?" Principal Yaga fixed his gaze at Rudra, trying to intimidate him, "What is your motivation to join Jujutsu High?"

"Grow stronger and Defeat stronger monsters or Curses." Rudra said as he stared back at Principal Yaga, unaffected by his gaze.

"... That is all?" Principal Yaga asked.

"Yup."

Principal Yaga seemed to get annoyed at Rudra's answer, "In that case lets see the strength that makes you seem so eager to go against Curses!!"

Rudra watched grimly as Yaga activate three of his Cursed Corpse dolls instead of the single one he sent at Itadori. Rudra gave a smile of excitement as he got into a fighting stance.

'Yes. This is perfect. No nonsense, no talks. Just fight and see my power!!!' Rudra said as he rushed towards the dolls.

Initially the Cursed Corpses had the upper hand, as they dodged Rudra's attack and used their soft bouncy bodies to rapidly shuttle between the walls and pillars in the room. However, the tables turned when Rudra started using his Cursed Technique: Fear Aura.

Cursed Technique: Fear Aura restrained the dolls, giving Rudra chance to attacks them with his cursed energy coated attacks using his powerful body. The damage started to accumulate on the dolls but Yaga kept pushing them without letting Rudra relax.

'Okay, enough of this. Lets finish this is one go.' Rudra thought as he prepared to use Skill Fusion to create a new Cursed technique.
