"Ahem! Let's hold off on deg a new 'stro' until Gojo gets back," Principal Yaga Masamichi interrupted, clearing his throat to draw everyone's attention. His tone was serious.

  After all, regardless of Ryuji's impressive dispy, Gojo was still a member of Jujutsu High, and the title of "the stro" was more than just bragging rights, it oint of pride for the school. Even if Gojo himself probably didn't care about the title, Yaga knew how much it meant for the institution's reputation.

  "..."

  Mei Mei shrugged, nuing. She uood Yaga's stance; he was the principal, after all. She wasn't here to pick a fight over titles. Instead, she turo Nanami, who had been watg the live stream quietly.

  "You mentioned before that you've seen Ryuji's Domain. Was it the same one he just used?"

  Nanami shook his head. "No. The Domain I saw st time was entirely different from this ohey're definitely separate Domains."

  The room went silent as everyone processed this. It was hard enough for a sorcerer to master one Domain. But two?

  Nanami tinued, "Ryuji's previous Domain had a pletely different atmosphere, one filled with bloodlust and mehis o… colder. Like a calcuted execution." He frowhinking back to the different Domains he'd seen Ryuji dispy. They were worlds apart in style and purpose.

  "Two Domains?" Maki looked incredulous. "That doesn't make any sense. How a sorcerer use two Domains?"

  "Believe me, I'm just as surprised," Nanami replied, nodding. "This is the first time I've ever entered a sorcerer capable of wielding two Domains. And there's a ce he could have more."

  Mei Mei's lips curved into a sly smile, a glint of i in her eyes. "Now that's something. I'd love to see just how far Ryuji push his abilities."

  Maki and the others exged uneasy ghe cept of a multi-Domain sorcerer was unheard of, something they'd only expect to find in legends or a records.

  "Is that even possible?" Maki asked, looking to Principal Yaga for some kind of assurance.

  Yaga sighed, taking a moment to gather his thoughts. "Based on our analysis… it seems Ryuji's teique, which appears to be some form of copying, allows him to replicate even the abilities within a Domain. It's highly likely he's one of the rare sorcerers capable of wielding multiple Domains."

  Everyone in the room went silent, awestruck by the implications.

  "...Incredible."

  "Salmon!" Toge muttered, nodding in agreement.

  Meanwhile, inside Yuji Itadori's mind, Ryomen Sukuna had been listening to the versation, and his usual smug expression had shifted into one of intrigue.

  "Copy, huh?"

  Sukuna's curiosity iqued. The Domain Ryuji had just used—"Malevolent Shrine"—was ohat Sukuna himself knew well, a Domain that had belonged solely to him. The realization that Ryuji had somehow copied it sent a chill down his spine, something he hadn't felt in ages.

  "When did he get the ce to y Domain?" Sukuna murmured, his mind rag. Then it hit him. Could it have happened when he lost those two fingers?

  Could it be that Ryuji somehow absorbed the teique by ing into tact with his fingers? It sounded impossible, but Sukuna was a creature of logic as well as pride. When every other possibility had been ruled out, the impossible became truth.

  "Well, well… this just got iing."

  For now, Sukuna didn't care about the specifics. All that mattered was that his power, his Domain, had been duplicated and that was something he couldn't ignore.

  Through Yuji's eyes, he watched Ryuji in the live broadcast, a dangerous smile spreading across his face.

  "So, my two fingers are in your possession, aren't they?" Sukuna whispered to himself. "Fine… keep them for now. I'll just make sure you returo me… personally."

  With that, Sukureated into silence, his mind now wholly fixated on Ryuji.

  Ba the forest, Ryuji had no idea that he'd caught the attention of the King of Curses. After finishing off two special-grade curses, he looked visibly pleased, patting his stoma satisfa.

  "That should do it. I'll be on my way," he said, turning to leave.

  "Need a lift?" Gojo offered, hands casually in his pockets. His Limitless Teique could transport people across distances with ease.

  Ryuji hesitated for a sed, but then shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

  Gojo pced a hand on Ryuji's shoulder, grinning. Suddenly, a notification popped up in Ryuji's mind.

  "Successfully ected with target: Gojo Satoldery avaible. Would you like to load it?"

  "Oh?" Ryuji thought, surprised but pleased. Success on the first try, this erfect.

  In the instant, Gojo activated his Limitless Teique, and both of them vanished from the spot.

  "Uh..."

  Ijichi, who was left standing there with the live broadcast still running, stared in fusion, scratg his head as he tried to figure out what to do.

  With the main stars of the broadcast gohere wasn't much point in tinuing.

  Clearing his throat, he turned back to the camera. "Ahem! Well, that's it for today's live broadcast, folks! As you see, sorcerers are here to protect you. No matter how terrifying cursed spirits may seem, as long as there are sorcerers like Gojo and Ryuji, humanity has nothing to fear!"

  Ending on a positive note, Ijichi quickly shut down the live stream. He didly feel safe standing around alone, so he hurried off back to the school.

  But even though the broadcast was over, discussions among viewers were just beginning.

  "Is this what a sorcerer really is?"

  For most ordinary viewers, the power of the sorcerers was awe-inspiring. Knowing that such people existed to fight back the horrors lurking in the world made them feel safer. Some were even grateful, realizing how much they'd uimated the dahat cursed spirits posed.

  Yet for others, the live stream awakened a sense of ambition. They wondered, could they too bee sorcerers? Could they acquire such power?

  Meanwhile, the reaong more iial viewers, particurly those from wealthy families and glomerates, was different. They uood that the existence of sorcerers like Ryuji and Gojo could reshape the entire world order. And they weren't about to let this neass them by.

  Pns were already f. They were determio find ways to recruit or ally with sorcerers, uanding that seg such power could mean the differeween survival and obsoles the world to e.

  Ryuji and Gojo's versation hadn't sted long. Beh his carefree exteriojo was well aware of the struggles within the Jujutsu society and the burdens of his role. Despite his usual light-heartedness, he wasn't a cold-blooded person—if he were, he would have already done away with the corrupt leadership at Jujutsu High.

  Before they parted ways, Gojht up o question. "What do you think about… managing things?"

  Ryuji could tell Gojo was serious. He'd been searg for someoh the strength and vision to take charge of the Jujutsu world, to shape it into somethier. This was why he'd stayed at Jujutsu High as a teacher, to nurture the geion.

  But Ryuji ughed, shaking his head. "If I wao manage anything, do you think I'd still be a student?"

  He had no i in the bureaucratic mess that was Jujutsu High. Endless paperwork, stant interruptions—no thanks. Ryuji valued his freedom far too much.

  Gojo chuckled. "Yeah, I figured."

  "But," Ryuji added, his expression shifting slightly, "I'll keep a for someone who fits the bill. Someone who ha."

  He had no desire to deal with Jujutsu High's politics himself. But it wouldn't hurt to pce that kind of power in the hands of someorusted. A pn was already f in his mind.

  Gojo raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "That's fair enough. I'll take whatever help I get."

  With a final wave, Gojo turned and teleported away.

  Once Gojo was gone, Ryuji checked the notification still lingering in his mind.

  "Goldery: Domain Expansion – Infinite Void."

  "Oh?" Ryuji's eyes sparkled. So he'd mao copy Gojo's Infinite Void after all.

  Even though he already had multiple abilities, adding the Infinite Void to his arsenal was a huge adva was a rare trol-type Domain that could overwhelm oppos with an endless flood of information, shutting down their minds. Even someone like Sukuna wouldn't be immuo its effects.

  While Sukuna's regeion might help him recover, in a battle, even a few seds of paralysis could mean the differeween victory a.

  "Load it," Ryuji anded.

  The entry was successfully added to his growing list of abilities.

  He opened his status panel, looking over the impressive array of powers he'd accumuted. But despite all these abilities, he rarely o use most of them. Still, better to have them on hand tha their abseer.

  Satisfied, Ryuji closed the panel auro the service club in a good mood.

  Using his spatial dispt ability, Ryuji didn't eveo walk, he simply appeared outside the clubroom door. But the moment he opehe door, he was surprised by the se inside.

  The club was unusually lively today. Besides Rikka and the usual members, even the five Nakano sisters he'd met before were gathered here. At the ter of it all was Shizuka, who looked both relieved and slightly exasperated.

  The moment she saw Ryuji walk in, Shizuka's face softened. Despite her typically posed demeanor, he could see she'd been worried about him. Seeing him safe and sound put her mind at ease.

  "Ryuji-kun! I'm gd you're alright," she said with a sigh of relief.

  "As expected of you, Ryuji!" one of the Nakano sisters chimed in, admiration shining in her eyes.

  "You're a real hero now!" added another.

  "Yeah, that was amazing!"

  The room buzzed with excitement as everyoook turns expressing their awe, sh Ryuji with praise. He could tell they'd all seen the live broadcast, and judging by their wide-eyed expressions, they were still processing everything.

  Ryuji felt a little overwhelmed by the attention, but he kept his cool, giving them a rexed smile. With a wave of his hand, he signaled for everyoo settle down.
