After Gojo Satoru understood the full story, he also roughly guessed why Kagura Shin's compass had failed.
"It's likely blocked by a special Barrier Technique. Actually, there are quite a few Barriers that shield against others' Cursed Techniques. For example, Lord Tengen's Tomb Chamber is completely covered by such a Barrier."
"The Cursed Spirits' side likely has a Curse User with high proficiency in Barriers, and they seem very cautious."
Although Kagura Shin felt it was a pity, he was also quite helpless and could only put the compass away.
"Then there's no other way. We're back in a passive position now, Teacher Gojo."
"Haha, Jujutsu Sorcerers are just the passive side; it's been like this for a thousand years. Only after Cursed Spirits commit evil do we Jujutsu Sorcerers go to resolve the matter. It's almost become an established practice now—oh, wait, not anymore. I should say it used to be."
There are simply too many Cursed Spirits in the world; in terms of numbers alone, they are over a thousand times more numerous than Jujutsu Sorcerers. Originally, as long as Cursed Spirits didn't cause trouble, sorcerers didn't have the energy to deal with them.
But since the last collective mobilization of Cursed Spirits causing trouble across the country, the Higher-Ups issued an absolute order: exterminate all Cursed Spirits! Furthermore, they assigned performance targets to every Jujutsu Sorcerer, and failure to meet them would lead to accountability! This left the Jujutsu Sorcerers of the entire Jujutsu World miserable, with their workload increasing more than tenfold.
...
After saying goodbye to Gojo Satoru, Kagura Shin returned to his dormitory to continue researching his Cursed Technique. He took out an odd-looking command block, placed it on the ground, and then tried to input Cursed Energy into it.
"It's useless... no reaction at all..."
He then tried inputting experience points, but there was still no reaction.
"Could it be that it can only be used within a Domain?"
He directly partially expanded his Domain and fiddled with the command block inside, but no matter how hard he tried, the command block remained unresponsive, just like an ordinary stone.
After fiddling for a whole morning, Kagura Shin was so hungry his stomach was sticking to his back. He took out a steak, took a bite, and then frowned in disgust.
"The taste is fine, but I'm tired of eating it... Never mind, I'll go to the cafeteria."
Kagura Shin casually threw the half-eaten steak onto the command block placed on the ground and headed out to the Jujutsu High cafeteria to find food.
Inside the cafeteria, everyone from Jujutsu High was eating, while Gojo Satoru was slowly eating dessert on the side. Kagura Shin got a meal and sat down directly across from Itadori Yuji.
"Huh... Yuji, your lunch is a bit... blood-enriching!"
Itadori Yuji's plate had pig liver, wood ear mushrooms, and pig blood balls. The soup was a sweet red bean soup with a few red dates added—it looked very blood-enriching at a glance.
"Ah... because the Cursed Technique I use requires my own blood... Although Ryomen Sukuna has stored dozens of liters in the curse seal, the more blood, the better!"
Nobara Kugisaki, who was nearby, leaned her head over and complained.
"I originally told him to ask Teacher Shoko for help, storing blood while being healed, or to ask you for help, storing it while eating your technique's creations. But he's a blockhead and didn't want to trouble you guys, so he found some folk remedies for enriching blood online and is eating them here."
"I'm really afraid he'll just faint from anemia during training this afternoon!"
Itadori Yuji scratched his head and said:
"After all, this isn't something that can be solved in a few minutes, and I'd feel bad troubling you guys for a long time... Teacher Shoko is very busy, and Shin has his own things to do. Besides, there's no rush to store blood; I can just take my time."
Kagura Shin shook his head helplessly, took out a Healing Potion, and handed it to him.
"Yuji, we're brothers. Why wouldn't I help with such a small favor? Besides, it's not that much trouble. Come straight to my dorm after lunch."
Itadori Yuji took the Healing Potion with an embarrassed look and drank it.
"Then I'll be in your care in a bit, Shin!"
Fushiguro Megumi and Yoshino Junpei were pestering Gojo Satoru to lead their training. Gojo Satoru only agreed to Yoshino Junpei's request and then kicked Fushiguro Megumi over to Kagura Shin.
"Megumi, the way for you to increase your strength is simple: just tame your Shikigami. Go straight to Shin and have him make you a 'Super Invincible Strengthening Potion' to drink. Then you can easily tame the Shikigami."
"...The Taming Ritual can only be performed by one person. Teacher Gojo, didn't you know that?"
"I of course know. But the ritual determines the number of participants based on whether there's a second type of Cursed Energy within the ritual range. Shin's potion doesn't produce Cursed Energy that doesn't belong to you in your body, so it's perfectly fine!"
"...Then why didn't you mention this method sooner! If I had known earlier, Itadori might not have..."
Gojo Satoru flicked Fushiguro Megumi's forehead and said as if it were obvious:
"Of course, it was to make you work a bit harder yourself! If I had told you earlier, you probably would have slacked off long ago. But now is indeed an extraordinary time! No matter what means you use, increasing your strength as quickly as possible is the way to go!"
Fushiguro Megumi clutched his reddened forehead, wanting to say something more to Gojo Satoru, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth. He could only rub his head while heading off to find Kagura Shin.
...
After lunch, Kagura Shin brought Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi back to his room. He opened the door and chatted with the two while walking in, then bumped into the giant command block and fell onto his backside.
[Huh? This... this isn't right! From my dorm to the cafeteria is definitely more than sixty-four meters... Why hasn't the command block despawned?]
After standing up in a daze, he actually saw that half-eaten steak still on the command block!
[The steak hasn't despawned either! I think I've discovered a little bit of what the command block can do...]
Before researching his command block, he first took out a large batch of Cooked Steaks and stuffed them into Itadori Yuji's hands, telling him to eat while storing blood.
Then he took out a Strength Potion and injected experience points into it.
[Let's start by strengthening the power by twenty times... and set the duration to one hour... What! It actually costs fifty levels of experience! This is highway robbery!]
You have to understand, this is a consumable; once used, the experience points are gone! Unlike those tool-type items where you can extract the experience when not in use, this potion—fifty levels of experience—gone in a flash!
Although Kagura Shin's heart ached for his experience points, he still gritted his teeth and crafted it, then shoved the potion to Fushiguro Megumi.
"Take it away, don't let me see it again, or I'm afraid I won't be able to part with it..."
