Daoist Mystery

Chapter 75 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:45 JST Despite my growing disillusionment at reality post-high, I was enjoying myself. This was also in spite of everything that had happened. My failure with Iori-senpai stung, and my dispensing discipline on Naobito’s kid had been irritating at the

Chapter 74 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:45 JST Haruta’s entire body hurt, but her own health was the least of her current worries. Shigemo was holding onto consciousness by a thread. He was currently so hopped up on stimulants that Haruta had stockpiled in her Juchū, that he physically cou

Chapter 73 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:32 JST Each of Geto Suguru’s Special Grades were a problem, individually. All three of them summoned at once was overkill for anyone not named Teira or Satoru. Still, Hibana Whatsherface had a big mouth and needed to be slapped around a little. And S

Chapter 72 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:45 JST Takahashi Hana could have made wiser decisions than immediately launching into an all-out assault against the five boys that had put her between a rock and a hard place, in the middle of pitch darkness at that. Unfortunately, the dark fucking

Chapter 71 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:40 JST For the time being, Kobayashi Jun and Mei Mei were in agreement of one thing: this Grade One cursed spirit had to die. The matter of who dealt the final blow was immaterial to that agreement, and naturally, they would each work to safeguard th

Chapter 70 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:36 JST “Did you guys really just interrupt my nap right now?” Gojo said this to the squad of Kyoto upperclassmen that had veered closely to the tree whose thickest branch he was resting on top of, while they argued loudly. To my senses, he seemed to

Chapter 69 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:20 JST A million things were going through Zen'in Naobito’s head as he watched the screen on the far end of the meeting room in Tokyo Jujutsu High reserved specifically for the Zen'in clan’s top brass. The elders and the top members of the Hei unit h

Chapter 68 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:23 JST It took five minutes of pummeling the Tokyo student to the ground for Haruta to realize that there was some kind of innate technique at play, preventing her from fully finishing the boy. It wasn’t the Reverse Cursed Technique. To her preternat

Chapter 67 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:06 JST The Simple Domain was deceptively versatile, once you understood how to squeeze every ounce of utility out of its mechanics. Ito Aoi’s Hundred Eye Zone was an extension of a Domain’s ability to automatically detect practically anything that cr

Chapter 66 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 12:06 JST Hibana Haruta stood atop the disintegrating corpse of a behemoth Grade One, her friend Shigemo cowering next to some trees. He had only watched the fight with a bated breath, letting Haruta do all the work. His own cowardice was only half the

Chapter 65 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 11:46 JST I was alone in a world that was finally becoming brighter, becoming better. At least, that was the feeling that I was tempted to ascribe to my current experience—betterness. There was something about alcohol that just didn’t give the same feel

Chapter 64 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 10th September, 11:00 JST From the viewing room in the middle of campus, Yaga Masamichi and the rest of Jujutsu High’s faculty were treated to an excellent view of the entire battlegrounds. The small auditorium was facing a wall of large screens that were somehow in tu

Chapter 63 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 9th September, 19:45 JST I blew a fat plume of smoke out from my mouth after holding, or ‘toking’, for a handful of seconds. The hash smoke was thicker and more voluminous than the smoke of any tobacco I had tried before. It gave the activity another layer of amusement

Chapter 62 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 3rd September, 15:09 JST Mistakes had been made. ‘Ego death’ as it was known in the circles of people that liked to fuck with their brains for fun, was not an especially destructive or traumatic process, at least not in my experience. It sounded scary because it contai

Chapter 61 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 1st September, 15:26 JST Four hundred micrograms was a choice to say the least. I hadn’t fallen into an entirely different realm as I had feared. That was nice. What annoyed me was how much the drug intruded into all aspects of my life by way of contemplating certain t

Chapter 60 Jujutsu High, Tokyo 1st September, 07:15 JST Time and time again, in this lifetime and the last, I had heard the adage that time was cyclical. History repeating, time being a flat circle, patterns etched into the fabric of reality so deeply that events could not help but resemble one anot

Interlude: Obon Festival Kyoto Prefecture 15th August, 08:45 PM JST Zen'in Naoya had never truly gotten the point of Obon. All the celebrations were oriented around the topic of remembrance. Remembering one’s departed family and remembering the long line of predecessors that had built the clan to wh

Chapter 59 Shoko panted as she watched the purple-bleeding Grade One cursed spirit dissolve into nothing, looking like she was almost ready to drop the cursed kanabo that I had lended to her. The cursed tool was made mostly of brown wood, and was studded with steel knobs that dripped with purple gor

Chapter 58 This day was long overdue. In the two months since I had arrived at Jujutsu High, making waves with every passing day, I had been mulling over this meeting in my head for quite some time. I considered things like what tone I should take, what my presentation would be, and how much blood I

Chapter 57 It took an embarrassingly long amount of time for Ito Aoi to collect her thoughts after her date. A lot had happened: new experiences both profound and minor. She had done something that she had never thought herself capable of in a million years. She had gone on a date with a boy. The st

Chapter 56 Love was in the air. Teenagers were wont to do a lot of things. They were no longer just children, after all, so now the activities of adulthood were far more enticing than before. Combined with the lack of adult wisdom, it led them to hyperfocus on otherwise banal pursuits, like young lo

Chapter 55 “Teira, why are you smiling so much?” Gojo asked, as a non-sequitur at the end of one of his long rants about video games. The four of us were walking up a hill in a standard residential neighborhood like any other in Tokyo, on our way to a certain person’s home, all the while as I privat

(Version 2: more angst) Patch notes: I felt that the class' reaction to the Geto/Ito fight was too conspicuous in its absence, so I added that part at the start of the chapter. Other than that, nothing else is new or edited. Chapter 54 Kobayashi Jun had heard increasingly insane stories as the days

Chapter 53 To my silent amusement, four hours of listening to old men bloviate about politics was enough to make Shoko nod off several times. I crawled a Juchū under her clothes and used it to sting her back to wakefulness every time. Her own embarrassment and shyness in front of all the old people

Chapter 52 “Eleven Grade Ones, one registered Special Grade, and numerous lesser curses all told,” the council recounted proudly. “Excellent work, Geto-san.” Suguru shifted a little in awkwardness. Ito was standing right next to him in the darkly lit room of the secret council chamber. He glanced at

Chapter 51 Mahito watched, through a tiny hole in the wall between the human and cursed realm, as Tamamo-no-Mae met her end. Mahito could not have called the curse his friend. They had never quite gotten to that point. And yet, Mahito had watched with a growing fascination as she had met her end at

Chapter 50 Ito’s wound had been fatal… to anyone but her, apparently. It turned out that Ito’s instincts for cursed energy manipulation were so sharp that she had managed to essentially quarantine all the brain bleeds from vital parts of her brain, allowing her to continue functioning in spite of th

Chapter 49 Exorcisms at last. Jun had waited for this since the first day of Jujutsu High. His crazy classmates, and the equally crazy upperclassmen and teachers had proven a most frustrating distraction, but it was finally here. He could finally exercise his truth without having to worry about main

Chapter 48 Geto Suguru, despite himself, had imagined Tokyo Jujutsu High to be a new beginning to his school life—one that would allow him to be among equals, and allow him to express himself fully. He had even imagined finding love of all things. A girl might confess to him, and also be able to han

New content after the line where they leave Fushiguro at the hospital. The birthday was cut from this chapter as well. I might do something else with it. And no, you'll miss a lot if you skip reading this. Trust me, it's all new stuff, you won't regret reading it. --- Chapter 47 “Argh! Screw this!”

Chapter 46 “Something’s growing in her brain,” Shoko said, eyes closed. “Not good. It’s wrong. Feels entirely different from the rest of her brain. Putting too much pressure on… important things.” I nodded. “Do you think the limits to your anatomy knowledge will hinder you?” “I can feel the differen

Chapter 45 I stood under the Torii gate before the staircase down Ushiro Mountain, at the edge of campus, Shoko next to me, when I stopped and turned around. Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru had just teleported around thirty yards behind us, Gojo having used Limitless to achieve this feat. “And where do

Chapter 44 Geto Suguru groped around in the dark forest blindly. The darkness of the pre-dawn, combined with his blindfolds and earplugs, ensured that he had zero access to his conventional senses. Satoru grinned as he debated on when to approach him and poke him with his finger. The rules were simp

Chapter 43 “Number three!” Gojo threw his arm around Geto’s neck. “I am impressed, make no mistake—but you and I have a bit of work ahead of us. You really need to work on your senses, my man!” While they had their little moment, I was right next to her as Shoko was tending to Ito’s wounds, bandagin

Chapter 42 “Do me a personal favor, Suguru—never take any of your fellow classmates lightly again. Okay?” A personal favor. What a joke. Teira had a way of making anyone she talked to feel like a child in comparison. That was typical. She was wise beyond her years… isolated incidents of childishness

Chapter 41 “I don’t know,” Shoko said to me three minutes into Suzuki’s fight with Kobayashi. “I’m not sure about either of them.” Suzuki chained a string of strikes using her fists, forearms and elbows, mixing in the occasional kick. Kobayashi handled these by blocking and then dodging once her mom

Chapter 40 Ieiri Shoko had gained eight kilograms since our training began, seven days ago. She had gone from weighing forty-five kilograms to fifty-three, at a height of five feet and four inches. Almost a kilogram of lean growth every day. About half of that mass had been ingested orally. The othe

Chapter 39 “It comes down to enlightenment,” Gojo argued. “It always does. You don’t have to be so damn atheistic about it, when that’s literally all it boils down to.” He and I were standing on the edge of the field, an hour before dawn, watching over Suguru and Shoko’s training both. Shoko was doi

A/N: Content Warning: lots of blood and anatomical descriptions Chapter 38 Shoko’s cursed energy capacity was average, which was a shame. Still, much could be done with her limited means. I had personally witnessed powerful Jujutsu Sorcerers whose stores of cursed energy were hardly any greater than

Part 2 Shigemo still didn’t want to talk to Haruta as they settled in their seats. He switched seats each time she came to sit near him, befuddling the rest of the students. They no doubt all thought that she was an obsessed girl with a crush harassing the boy, but she didn’t care. Eventually, he sa

Hibana Mutou took pride in being Wolf Team Seven’s leader. His cousins, best friends, and comrades that had followed him all his life sat next to him in the back of a black SUV driven by one of the family’s assistants. They were Manji, Hiro, and Kenji. The first two were both knuckleheads that would

Ho-ly shit. As Stacy sat down back on her chair after scaring Jin shitless, Fei-Fei couldn’t help but feel an utter surge of euphoria at the sight of the brat sitting so still on his chair. That sight was almost addictive. She had to stop herself from laughing. Then, the events caught up to her, and

Chapter 37 “You wanna learn how to hit real fuckin’ hard?!” Satoshi Ren took a moment to stop pummeling a dumb tree to the ground to pay attention to the bug woman that had spoken. The same bug woman that had helped him out when he had been swamped by all those weird dog-things. Hibana Teira. Of cou
