Leveling Up To New Heights

Chapter 3: Training and Secrets Revealed

I grunted as my face was smashed into the ground. I sighed as I slowly sat up from the ground and looked up at the grinning Maki, holding onto the staff she set on her shoulder. I sat up with a grunt. Right now, she's just overwhelmingly more powerful than me. Even her techniques were something that I could barely follow with my Sharingan! Argh! I stood up and looked over at Maki and slid into a stance as shadows crawled around me and slithered in anticipation.

Maki grinned at me, "That's the spirit! Glad you aren't like Yuta. He would whine and cry about training like this. But you... you crave for this. I like that."

I wiped off my face with the back of my hand as I calmed my mind and called forth the darkness around my body, solidifying it and meshing it with my body. I grinned as Maki spun her spear and thrust it my way, where I deflected it with my forearm, wincing slightly from the pain before spinning around and suddenly dropping low and sweeping her feet out from underneath Maki.

If I were to say, as I am now, I would be amongst the top of Grade 4 sorcerers. Maki is likely around the middle of a Grade 2 sorcerer or greater. The difference in both strength and speed are astronomical, but with my Cursed Techniques, I can overcome them! I thought as I flipped and slammed my foot into the ground right where Maki was but she slid under and kicked me in the face.

I was sent flying as I rolled across the ground. I slowly rose and sighed as I glanced over at Gojo who was watching with intrigue. I guess I can't go hiding my power forever here, now can I?

I sighed as I spoke up, "You know... as far as I'm aware of, a Jujutsu Sorcerer can only possess one Cursed Technique, unless you have some unique circumstances like that Yuta kid who can copy them. But..." The darkness around me shivered as Maki charged towards me with her spear, "I'm different. You see... I was born with three Cursed Techniques. One is Shadow Dominion, and the other two are ones I've kept hidden for as long as I could."

Maki struck at me and her blade was forcibly stopped a few inches away from hitting me. Her eyes widened and Gojo immediately lifted his blindfold off of his face to examine me.

That's right, Gojo. I knew that your Six Eyes could see someone's Cursed Technique at a glance, so I hid it with my Shadow Dominion, blocking you from seeing the other two.

I held up my hand as I explained, "The other two are Endless and Power of Control. With Endless, I can control time and manipulate it. Just like how Gojo has Infinity, I have Eternity. Mine, however, doesn't function through space but rather time itself. By slowing time to an eternity, it ensures that nothing can touch me. Just like how Gojo's constantly stretches it infinitely, mine stretches it out to an eternity." I stated as an orb of green light illuminated into my palm. "And by pouring cursed energy into Endless, I get Lapse Green, which slows down time and crushes it through the theory of relativity, speeding things up around it to the point that whatever is trapped inside is stuck in a time loop. Here, let me show you." I said as Maki leaped back. The shadows had already covered the entire ground and latched onto her as my technique gained a significant boost in power from disclosing my technique. "Cursed Technique Lapse: Green!"

Maki grit her teeth as her entire body froze up or slowed significantly, to the point it would take her years to reach a mile at this rate.

Gojo was on the side with a wild look as he watched me do my thing. He's giving me some Hisoka vibes with how intensely he's staring at me. It's like he's found a new toy to play with or something.

I sighed as my Sharingan faded away due to my lack of CP and held out my hands as my eyes glowed yellow as red spirals rotated out in concentric circles (A/N: Literally just Makima's eyes) and I held out my hands. Come forth, my minions!" I declared as a literal wave of rodents rose up and descended upon Maki as I clapped my hands together, "Come forth, Great Demon God, Raijin!" I roared as, in a swirl of flames, came out a twelve-foot-tall man.
