"The Gojo Clan's Six Eyes Twins!"
"Both brothers carry a hundred-million-yen bounty—how thrilling!"
"Old man, what's your take?"
"Old hag, as cursed sorcerers, fixating on money isn't exactly stylish!"
A staticky voice crackled through the earpiece as Granny Oshin frowned, lifting her coffee cup.
"Whose fault is that? You squandered our funds on your idols! Half of our last bounty went to buying fan-voting tickets!"
"That was for Maiden's Love's third-anniversary celebration!"
"You old cow munching on young grass… They're here!"
As Granny Oshin's words fell, Nira Susaka peered down from the high-rise.
Two white-haired children, about six or seven, walked side by side on the street, followed by a respectful middle-aged man.
"According to intel, that's the Gojo Clan's Grade 1 sorcerer, Genso Gojo!"
"The kids in front of him must be the Six Eyes Twins!"
Nira Susaka flashed a feral grin. "I'll handle the twins. Old hag, you keep the bodyguard busy!"
Meanwhile, in the café, Granny Oshin set down her cup, her eyes glinting darkly.
"Don't screw this up!"
Just as the two braced for action, Sawa Gojo and Satoru Gojo halted below.
In unison, they looked up, their cerulean eyes piercing through all disguises, locking gazes with the cursed sorcerers from afar!
In that instant, Granny Oshin and Nira Susaka felt like prey under a predator's stare, their hearts skipping a beat.
Coming to their senses, they collapsed, cold sweat soaking their collars.
Fear! Like mice facing their natural enemy—a cat—fear etched into their very bones!
A single glance had brought the threat of death!
"O-Old man…"
"Plan's off!"
Gasping for air, their trembling bodies reveled in the ecstasy of surviving disaster.
"Mere small fry!"
Satoru Gojo retracted his gaze, snorting disdainfully.
Sawa Gojo stretched his limbs. "Even small fry can serve as a warm-up!"
Satoru raised an eyebrow. "You're jumping in?"
"Wanna join? The strongest two—you pick first!"
Satoru sighed. "Fine, I'll take the old man."
Sawa turned to Genso. "Uncle Genso, the leftover grunts are yours!"
"Yes, Young Master Sawa!"
In the next moment, all three vanished from the street.
In a shadowy alley, lesser cursed sorcerers stirring trouble found their path blocked by a man.
Genso Gojo's face was icy. "You dare target Young Masters Satoru and Sawa? You lot must be tired of living!"
With that, a Grade 1 sorcerer's immense cursed energy surged forth.
On the rooftop, Nira Susaka turned to flee, only to face a devilish figure.
Satoru Gojo, barely a meter tall, loomed impossibly large in Nira's eyes!
The overwhelming pressure, transcending life itself, sent Nira's heart racing at two hundred beats a minute!
"Hey, small fry, decided how you wanna die?"
Satoru scratched his ear nonchalantly.
Nira Susaka trembled, both from fear and humiliated rage at Satoru's words.
"Don't underestimate me! You're just a six-year-old brat spouting big talk!"
Nira shouted, psyching himself up, then charged at Satoru in a furious haze.
"Boring!"
Satoru snorted, his cursed-energy-laced fist connecting with Nira's face without fail.
To Satoru's surprise, Nira grinned, seemingly unscathed.
"Die!"
Nira drew a knife from his waist, thrusting viciously at Satoru's heart.
But the blade, inches from its mark, met an infinite counterforce, unable to advance.
"Damn it!"
Nira roared.
Then he saw Satoru slowly raise his right hand, fingers splayed, his sky-blue pupils pure as the heavens.
"Your technique is 'Reverse,' right?"
"Huh?"
Nira's eyes widened in terror and disbelief.
His technique was nearly impossible to detect on first encounter.
That's why he dared face Satoru, hoping to escape under the cover of ignorance.
He never planned to defeat Satoru Gojo.
His only hope was to use the 'Reverse' technique to avoid fatal blows and find a chance to flee!
But Satoru's casual words shattered that hope!
Satoru continued, "It's not just 'Reverse,' though. If it were pure reversal, collisions with dust or air would kill you. So, 'Reverse' has upper and lower limits."
"So, where's the upper limit?"
Phase.
Twilight.
Eye of Wisdom.
Technique Forward: Blue!
A blue vortex swirled in Satoru's palm, its terrifying pull like a compressed tornado.
Nira tried to back away, but his body was drawn inexorably toward the vortex.
The gravity, like giant hands, twisted Nira's body like dough.
As if thrown into a meat grinder, his skin, flesh, and bones spiraled apart.
Nira didn't even have time to scream before dissolving into a mist of blood.
Satoru's face remained impassive. "Guess the upper limit's lower than I thought."
…
"Good grandson, stall them for ten seconds!"
Splat—
Sawa Gojo stared coldly at Granny Oshin, holding the bloody head of her "good grandson."
Ten seconds? It didn't even last one!
Granny Oshin gaped in horror at Sawa, frozen, forgetting even to use her technique.
"Spirit summoning, inviting gods to possess? Old hag, don't disturb the dead's rest—it's bad karma."
Sawa grinned, then twisted his hips, hurling the head like a cannonball at Granny Oshin.
Boom!!!
Blood and brains exploded like fireworks.
…
"Too slow, Satoru!"
When Satoru returned, Sawa was already there, holding two cups of juice.
Satoru grabbed one casually. "I was fast enough. That guy's 'Reverse' technique was kinda interesting."
Genso returned then, his once-pristine suit now disheveled.
"My apologies, Young Masters Sawa and Satoru, for keeping you waiting!"
The two waved it off and resumed their stroll.
The Gojo Clan's Six Eyes Twins' first battle with cursed sorcerers ended thus.
For Sawa and Satoru, it was a casual stretch of the limbs.
But for the cursed sorcerer community, it was earth-shattering news.
What are cursed sorcerers?
In ability, they're identical to jujutsu sorcerers.
But while jujutsu sorcerers fight curses to protect non-sorcerers, cursed sorcerers have no such qualms.
For money, fun, or other whims, they'll target curses, sorcerers, or even ordinary people!
Unbound by taboos, they revel in reckless freedom, with killing as their "liberty"!
But now, the Six Eyes Twins' emergence stripped them of that freedom, making even appearing openly a pipe dream.
Powerful, mysterious, unfathomable…
The Six Eyes Twins had become the nightmare of cursed sorcerers!
And with these two boys, the jujutsu world's landscape shifted dramatically!
