In his consciousness, he silently chanted, "Switch main world, Jujutsu Kaisen."
"Confirm command."
"Main world switching… Target: Jujutsu Kaisen."
"Time flow rate adjusted."
"Identity information loaded: Jujutsu High first-year freshman."
"Location: Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College."
"Teleportation beginning."
As the panel prompts appeared, Allen felt the surrounding space begin to subtly fluctuate, and the scene before his eyes gradually blurred and distorted like a reflection in water.
The ruined landscape of City A slowly faded, replaced by a hazy outline of an unfamiliar environment, shrouded in lush green mountains.
He could feel his immense power still residing within every cell of his body, like a dormant giant dragon, but some world rule seemed to have made adaptive adjustments to it.
At the same time, some simple information about his new identity flowed into his mind; his name was still Allen, a student who had just had his Jujutsu abilities discovered and was about to enroll in Jujutsu High.
Damp air, carrying the fresh scent of plants, filled his nostrils, replacing the acrid smell of gunpowder and rust. The sounds of alarms and roar were gone, replaced by the rustling of mountain wind through the forest and the faint chirping of birds in the distance.
Allen stood at the bottom of a slightly steep stone staircase, looking up. The steps wound upwards, leading to a cluster of traditional Japanese buildings hidden deep within the dense mountain forest.
Grey tiles and wooden walls, with upturned eaves, exuded a tranquil aura of time's passage.
His original battle-damaged clothes had, at some point, been replaced by a dark blue, slightly loose tracksuit with a spiral-shaped symbol on the chest.
It was very ordinary clothing, but on him, it inexplicably gave off a sense of reserved yet dangerous presence.
"Location: Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, in front of the school gate."
"Identity information loaded. Current time point: Eve of Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori's enrollment, after he swallowed Sukuna's finger."
"Warning: A dynamic equilibrium mechanism has been detected in the current world, with a significant difference from the host's energy level. Excessive release of power may lead to world structural instability. Please carefully control output."
"After the main quest is completed, the restrictions can be lifted, and the world you control will upgrade as the host's strength increases."
Allen slightly moved his fingers, and a faint dark red energy flickered at his fingertips. The surrounding space emitted a subtle hum, as if groaning under the strain. Indeed, he couldn't use most of his power at will; this world simply couldn't withstand his rank.
Allen's expression was calm. He could feel that if he carelessly released his power, the dynamic equilibrium of this world wouldn't be able to keep up with him, and destruction would soon follow.
"What an interesting set of world rules." He took a step, unhurriedly ascending the stone steps leading to Jujutsu High.
"Woah, this place is really out of the way." A vibrant young voice came from behind him.
Allen didn't turn back. Through the footsteps and aura, he had already sensed who was approaching.
A boy and a young man: one with pink hair, a robust physique, and an unusually vigorous life force; the other with white hair, wearing a black blindfold, with a faint energy flow around him, which seemed to be a substance called Cursed Energy.
It was Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori and Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo. It seemed the time point was correct.
"Hey—! You up ahead! Are you a new student too?" Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori had clearly seen Allen on the steps and enthusiastically waved and shouted. He bounded up in a few steps, walking alongside Allen, a bright smile on his face. "I'm Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori! Nice to meet you!"
Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo leisurely followed behind, a playful smile on his lips, seemingly observing Allen with interest.
Allen stopped, turned his head to look at Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori, his dark red eyes calm and unmoving. He merely gave a slight nod: "Allen."
His reaction was not enthusiastic, even somewhat cold, but Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori seemed not to mind, still full of energy: "Allen? Were you also tricked by Gojo-sensei?"
Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo behind them let out a chuckle: "Yuji, how can you say 'tricked'? This is showing you the broad road to success in life."
He walked to their side, his height quite imposing. He bent down slightly, leaning closer to Allen. Although he wore a blindfold, Allen could feel a sense of scrutiny.
"Allen-kun, right?" Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo's voice had his characteristic light tone. "I'm Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo, and I'll be your teacher from now on. Hmm… a very interesting aura indeed. Your Cursed Energy is so faint it's almost imperceptible, yet it makes one unable to underestimate you."
Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes could see the flow of Cursed Energy, but what he sensed from Allen's Cursed Energy was indeed as weak as that of a newly awakened individual. Yet, some intuition, or perhaps the invisible connection between strong individuals, made him feel that this young man was far from as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Allen looked up at Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo. The other party's Limitless technique formed an extremely subtle defensive barrier around him. This way of using rules intrigued him, but that was all.
"Gojo-sensei." Allen greeted him in a flat tone, betraying no emotion.
"Alright, alright, don't all block the way here." Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo straightened up, clapped his hands, and was the first to step onto the stone stairs. "Keep up, or those who are late will be punished~"
Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori immediately followed: "I'll keep up!"
Allen unhurriedly followed at the back, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings. His super-perceptive ability took in the entire layout of Jujutsu High, the strength of its barriers, and the few scattered moving figures.
The barrier here was decent, capable of defending against ordinary Cursed Spirits, but to him, it was as good as nonexistent.
The number of students and teachers in the entire school was small, and their energy reactions were generally not strong. Except for Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo in front, whose energy quality was clearly several levels higher than everyone else's, but that was all.
Soon, they arrived in front of a dojo-style building.
Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo pushed open the dojo door. Inside was a spacious, traditional training ground with polished wooden floors, and the air was filled with a faint scent of moth-proof wood and old straw.
"This is Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, one of only two Jujutsu educational institutions in Japan. On the surface, it's a private religious school." Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo leaned casually against the doorframe, pointing inside the dojo. "Many Jujutsu Sorcerers here, after graduating, also operate from here, not just for education, but also for mission execution and support."
Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori curiously peered in: "Oh! Like a specialized training center?"
"Something like that." Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo chuckled, then turned to Allen, "What about you, Allen-kun? Do you know anything about the Jujutsu world?"
Allen's gaze calmly swept over the dojo. His perception had already understood the entire structure of the building. He answered faintly: "Not much."
This was true. Although he had gained a vast amount of knowledge by devouring gods, he indeed needed to observe and learn about the Jujutsu system of this specific world.
However, with his abilities, understanding and mastering these things was only a matter of time.
