Chapter 2 : Jujutsu Kaisen (1)

“Evolution conditions.” Yoohyun focused on the Radiant Angel Evolution Conditions.

“A Low-Grade Angel’s Feather, a Halo Fragment, and Low-Grade Radiant Magic, huh?”

The conditions seemed easier than expected. He could obtain the feather and halo fragment through Random Draws using points gained in Leisure, and the magic could be leveled up.

“Especially with Growth Acceleration, leveling up skills will be a piece of cake.”

He examined the four skills acquired from the draw, including Growth Acceleration.

<Skill: Growth Acceleration (D)>

Accelerates all types of growth.

Ability:

• 30% Growth Acceleration

<Skill: Lowest-Grade Radiant Swordsmanship (F)>

Basic swordsmanship of an angel wielding Radiant Mana.

Abilities:

• Minor Swordsmanship Enhancement

• 10% Increase in Sword Attack Power

• 10% Increase in Radiant Mana Attack Power

<Skill: Lowest-Grade Radiant Magic (F)>

Basic magic of an angel wielding Radiant Mana.

Abilities:

• Acquisition of Lowest-Grade Radiant Magic

• Minor Magic Enhancement

• 10% Increase in Radiant Magic Attack Power

<Skill: Lowest-Grade Mana Regeneration (F)>

Accelerates mana regeneration.

Ability:

• 10% Acceleration of all types of Mana Regeneration

<Skill: Lowest-Grade Mana Manipulation (F)>

Enhances mana manipulation.

Ability:

• 10% Enhancement of all types of Mana Manipulation

None of the skills were useless. Growth Acceleration was self-explanatory. Radiant Swordsmanship would be useful with the Holy Sword he’d drawn. Radiant Magic was essential for the Trait evolution. And Mana Regeneration and Mana Manipulation were valuable complements to magic.

“Let’s check the items too.”

He opened his Inventory.

[Inventory]

Stored Items:

• Low-Grade Angel’s Holy Sword (D)

• Low-Grade Angel’s Combat Attire (E)

• Low-Grade Angel’s Feather (F)

• Heavenly Delicious Chicken (F)

• Heavenly Soft Wet Wipes (F)

<Item: Low-Grade Angel’s Holy Sword (D)>

A holy sword imbued with divine power, used by low-grade angels.

Abilities:

• Automatic Repair

• 10% Increase in Holy Power

<Item: Low-Grade Angel’s Combat Attire (E)>

Holy combat attire imbued with divine power, used by low-grade angels.

Abilities:

• Automatic Repair

• 10% Increase in Defense

• 10% Increase in Regeneration

<Item: Low-Grade Angel’s Feather (F)>

A low-grade angel’s feather of unknown purpose.

<Item: Heavenly Soft Wet Wipes (F)>

Soft and clean wet wipes, like heavenly clouds.

<Item: Heavenly Delicious Chicken (F)>

Chicken with the finest taste, enjoyed by celestial beings.

“Two duds, huh?” He disregarded the chicken, wet wipes, and feather, focusing on the remaining items.

First, the Holy Sword. He grasped the beautifully crafted blade, reminiscent of a mythical holy sword.

“Nice.” He swung the sword lightly, smiling. Despite never holding a sword before, it felt familiar, as if he’d wielded it for years.

“Must be the swordsmanship skill.” The Minor Swordsmanship Enhancement from Radiant Swordsmanship was likely responsible.

“And the combat attire.” The outfit, white with gold embroidery, resembled a priest’s robe from a fantasy world.

“I’ll wear this later.” He returned the sword and attire to his Inventory. No need for the sword now, and the attire wasn’t quite right for the moment.

“Now, let’s try the magic.”

He closed his eyes, recalling the knowledge that flooded his mind upon acquiring the magic skill. He tried one of the spells.

• Lowest-Grade Radiant Magic.

• Radiance.

“Ooh.” He admired the faint orb of light hovering above his hand. He felt a slight drain, presumably his Radiant Mana, as the beautiful orb materialized.

“Other than this, I can do a weak healing spell and shoot light projectiles.”

The number of available spells seemed limited, but it made sense. His magic skill was only F-rank. Higher ranks would unlock more spells.

“Now, let’s turn off the magic…”

[Lowest-Grade Radiant Magic proficiency increased by 1%.]

[Skill will rank up to E-rank at 100% proficiency.]

“Instead of turning it off, let’s decide which Leisure to enter.”

He maintained the Radiance spell, sitting down. Proficiency seemed to increase with prolonged use. Though it drained his mana, leveling up the magic for the evolution condition was more important right now.

“First Leisure.” He tapped on Leisure Management in Leisure Life.

[No Leisure selected.]

[Please select a Leisure.]

1. Jujutsu Kaisen

2. One Piece

3. Naruto

4. Toriko

5. Solo Leveling

Refresh Leisure (10 Leisure Points)

“Five options, and refreshing costs 10 points.” He had zero points left after the draws. He had to choose from this list.

“Naruto, Toriko, and Solo Leveling are out.” Simply not his taste. Not a fan of ninjas or cooking, and while Solo Leveling wasn’t bad, it didn’t grab him.

That left Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece.

“Hmm…” He pondered.

Jujutsu Kaisen. He enjoyed the manga. It had its flaws, but the cool curses, Gojo Satoru, and Sukuna made it entertaining. He felt drawn to it, wanting to use curses and fight alongside or against those characters.

Then there was One Piece. He enjoyed the first part, up to the Marineford arc, but hadn’t continued. Too much to catch up on. He was tempted, wanting a Devil Fruit power, especially the Glint-Glint Fruit or the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

He could catch up on One Piece, but that would take time. He chose Jujutsu Kaisen, having already read it.

“Alright.” He selected Jujutsu Kaisen.

[Jujutsu Kaisen selected.]

[Please select an Avatar.]

1. Zenin Hikaru (7 years old)

• Eldest son of Zenin Naobito, has not yet manifested a Cursed Technique.

1. Lee Yoohyun (15 years old)

• A new sorcerer scouted after coming to Japan as an exchange student from Korea. A first-year at Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College. Cursed Technique is Radiant Angel.

1. Itadori Yuji (15 years old)

• Possesses monstrous physical abilities. Swallowed the finger of the Special Grade Cursed Object, Sukuna, and enrolled in Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

“Only one real option here.”

Lee Yoohyun and Itadori Yuji were out. He needed a powerful Cursed Technique. Choosing Lee Yoohyun would just give him his existing Radiant Angel ability as a Cursed Technique, and he didn’t want to be Itadori. Watching the potato boy was fine, but being him was a hard pass.

So, option 1. Zenin Hikaru, offering the potential of a strong inherited Cursed Technique from a prestigious family.

[Starting Leisure.]

With that message, his vision went black.

“Hmm.”

Zenin Hikaru. Yoohyun felt Hikaru’s memories flow into his mind, closing his eyes.

‘Strange.’

Experiencing another person’s memories felt like watching a movie inside his head.

“Hey, Hikaru! What are you doing? Pet me, quick!” A little girl’s voice called from below.

Having absorbed Hikaru’s memories, Yoohyun looked down.

“Hurry up!” A cute, blonde girl, nestled in his lap, urged him on with a pout.

Flap! Startled, Yoohyun’s wings fluttered involuntarily.

‘Weren’t you a boy?’

The girl demanding head pats was Zenin Naoya, a villain who appeared as a male in the original Jujutsu Kaisen.
