Jujutsu Kaisen: The Traveler

Chapter 15

Hiroyuki's heavenly restriction gives him a huge amount of Curse Energy in exchange for a slower CE recovery rate. Not only that but, if another person was made aware of this fact, Hiroyuki's CE pool would increase once again, the same goes for his slower CE recovery rate.

So, given such a fact, imagine if a large number of people were made known of this and was spread around through gossip uncontrollably.

In the future, Hiroyuki's CE pool would surely become so massive that he could probably cover an entire city with his Curse Energy alone if he decided to spread it around. A pretty ridiculous idea that can only exist in someone's dream, one could say.

But that's what makes it SCARY because it's a ridiculous idea that is not impossible to achieve. That's right, It would be pretty scary indeed, especially for Hiroyuki himself.

Well, just from a couple of people, his CE recovery already became so slow to the point that once he fully exhausted his CE pool, he had to wait almost four days just to get it all back.

It became THAT slow just from five people knowing it. Hiroyuki himself and Senjumaru included.

So if that hypothetical future were to actually happen, at that point, his CE recovery rate would surely be non-existent already. He'll probably die of old age first before he could even generate at least ten percent of his entire CE pool.

That's why back then, when he first found out about this, Hiroyuki did everything he could to stop the information from spreading around. Because at that time, he was still not ready.

Even right now, given the years that have passed, Hiroyuki is still not that ready. Well, he won't be affected that much anymore by it, but as much as possible, he likes to keep it hidden for a couple more years.

Roughly around five years more. That's the time he came up with. A time when he would most likely be fully ready already and won't be affected anymore even if the information about his Heavenly Restriction were to spread around.

At that point, he might even spread it out himself.

Unfortunately, it seems that this plan won't happen anymore because the thing that Hiroyuki was trying to prevent, already happened. Because currently, the fact that Hiroyuki possessed such Heavenly restriction was already made known to the entire Gojo clan.

What's more unfortunate is the fact that, when this happened, Hiroyuki wasn't home. So when the information was spread around, nobody had a way to make sure if the rumors were true or not.

So for some time, everyone believed it. And just like any scandalous news about famous celebrities, it was spread around the entire clan before anyone could even react.

Obviously, Hiroyuki was immediately made aware of it when this happened even though he was not home. Well, out of nowhere, his CE pool started surging and growing uncontrollably. And for the bearer himself, there's no other logical reason why such a thing even happened.

That's why, as fast as he possibly could, he quickly went home, in hopes that he could still do some damage control. He got back after a couple of hours and just like he predicted, it was already too late.

Everyone already knew his secret.

Obviously, the moment he was seen by the entire clan, everyone immediately realized that the rumor about their Young Master possessing a Heavenly Restriction... was fake news.

Well, logically speaking, since the entire clan was already aware of his HR, his CE pool should've been so massive already. But the level of CE that everyone saw at that time, was still the same. Not even a slight change was made.
