Regarding the origin of this chalcedony heart, when he heard the overly familiar name "Kamo Noritoshi" from the female sorcerer and the Grade 3 sorcerer responsible for this area, Miyauchi Hikage felt it was simply too reasonable.
After all, Cursed Objects were not good things themselves. They were said to ward off evil, but in fact, they were fighting poison with poison.
Either they were evil Cursed Tools created by curse users using forbidden means, or they were the fragmented remains of some powerful curses.
These things were placed near the center of the school after some processing. In the perception of Cursed Spirits, it belonged to the territory that was already occupied. Cursed Spirits who felt they were not opponents would leave these occupied lands to find other territories.
In today's Jujutsu world, when the term Cursed Object was mentioned, the first thing people could associate with it was the identity of Kamo Noritoshi used by Kenjaku a hundred years ago.
The title of the most evil sorcerer in history was not just empty talk.
At the beginning of the decline of mystery, Kenjaku, using the identity of Kamo Noritoshi, did many things that incurred the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men.
For example, the special-grade Cursed Objects Cursed Womb: Death Paintings, which played a significant role in the plot later, were created by making a woman conceive children with a Cursed Spirit nine times and abort them. This thing was still kept in the Cursed Warehouse of Jujutsu High and was not open to the public because it was too evil.
In addition to this iconic special-grade Cursed Object, Kamo Noritoshi created hundreds of different Cursed Objects using thousands of innocent human lives in various human experiments throughout his life. Now, a considerable part of these Cursed Objects, which were not so evil, were distributed in various places in Japan by the Jujutsu higher-ups as "evil-warding" objects.
It could be said that almost all jujutsu sorcerers in the Jujutsu world had more or less dealt with the relics left by Kamo Noritoshi.
Almost to the extent that when encountering some difficult-to-solve troubles or troubles with unknown origins, they would think about whether this matter was related to Kamo Noritoshi.
He belonged to the scapegoat king of the Jujutsu world. [note: lol Danzo]
And if all the messy things done by the identities used by Kenjaku over the past thousand years were counted, this title of scapegoat king was indeed well-deserved.
So, now hearing Kamo Noritoshi's name from others, Miyauchi Hikage had no feeling of surprise at all.
Indeed, only that guy in the Jujutsu world could come up with these messy things. It was just unknown whether this commission was unintentional or intentionally designed by the other party.
So from what angle did Kenjaku want to scheme against him?
Miyauchi Hikage pondered.
But he still had to pretend that he didn't know these things, and asked the two sorcerers about Kamo Noritoshi's deeds.
The two sorcerers obviously knew a lot about this source of all evil from a hundred years ago.
After confirming that the cursed energy reaction had subsided and there should be no more problems in a short time, with admiring eyes for Miyauchi Hikage, they told Miyauchi Hikage about the life experiences of this notorious sorcerer.
The girls on the side were also very interested in these secrets and gathered around the repaired wooden box, wanting to know what that guy had done.
The result was that all three girls showed extremely disgusted expressions, obviously stimulated by the dirty things Kamo Noritoshi had done.
"This heart should also be a semi-finished product made by the other party in a certain experiment. Because it met the standard of a Grade 1 Cursed Object, and because no dangerous technique was found attached, it was assigned to Minegahara High School as a suppressing object." The sorcerer responsible for this area still knew something about these things, but he couldn't say anything more detailed.
Sakurajima Mai's face was a little pale. She now knew the existence of Cursed Objects and the necessity of their existence.
But thinking that her school would place such a weird heart here to ward off evil, and even her current ability might be triggered by this heart, she couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.
"The effect of this heart shouldn't have reached that level. If it really reached that level, a new level would probably have to be opened above special-grade Cursed Objects." Miyauchi Hikage carefully observed Sakurajima Mai and the heart in the wooden box with his eyes again.
"It should have just acted like a catalyst to induce your ability, and your ability rampage should also be inseparable from it."
Supernatural awakening also depended on personal talent. According to the current mainstream view, the increasingly growing spiritual power in the atmosphere subtly affected the souls of some people, and then the influence of the soul acted on the body.
It could be said to be a mutation, or it could be said that spiritual power activated these organs, thereby allowing people to obtain supernatural power.
And this premise was that the person themselves was sensitive to spiritual power.
But the souls of most normal people were completely insensitive to spiritual power. It could be said that in the current spiritual environment, more than 90% of ordinary people could be regarded as spiritual insulators, and the vast majority of the remaining 10% were not much better.
In a year, fewer than a thousand people in Japan could achieve supernatural awakening, and a large part of them might not even realize that they had awakened abilities because the abilities were too obscure.
It would be good if a hundred people realized that they had awakened superpowers.
It could be said that unless the spiritual concentration of this world reached more than ten times the current level, or they encountered some fortuitous encounter, supernatural awakening was quite out of reach for ordinary people.
In Miyauchi Hikage's impression, in the work Jujutsu Kaisen, only Mahito's "Idle Transfiguration," possessing the power to rewrite the souls of others, could do such a thing.
Using this power, Mahito could forcibly change the soul of a person to control their life and death just by touching their body.
It could be said that Mahito possessing this ability could become a murderous executioner or a doctor treating various difficult and complicated diseases.
He could even forcibly adjust a person's soul from the frequency of an ordinary person to that of a jujutsu sorcerer.
In the Culling Game arc, Kenjaku used this ability to rewrite the souls of thousands of ordinary people, making them sorcerers.
Then among this pile of artificially mass-produced sorcerers, there really appeared a few geniuses whose talents were not inferior to Gojo Satoru, and who could even master Domain Expansion, the highest gold content in the Jujutsu world, in a few days.
It could be said that the power scaling collapse of Jujutsu Kaisen started from here.
Miyauchi Hikage looked at the wooden box in front of him. In so many years in the Jujutsu world, only one Mahito appeared. When Kenjaku used the identity of Kamo Noritoshi, at most he created the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings, a combination of human and Cursed Spirit, and the final result could not be considered successful.
This heart obviously couldn't turn an ordinary person into a jujutsu sorcerer.
But Miyauchi Hikage could clearly feel that this thing was somewhat entangled with Sakurajima Mai's fate. Observing and divining from this aspect, and then applying it to the original story plot, he could finally get the current conclusion.
This heart could not turn ordinary people into supernatural beings, but it should be able to allow those who already had aptitude to awaken early. However, this act of encouraging growth by pulling up seedlings was also more likely to cause ability rampage.
When Miyauchi Hikage said this with his eyes emitting blue light in the dark, it had extremely high credibility.
The female sorcerer immediately felt that the wooden box in her hand was a bit tricky.
Although it couldn't turn ordinary people into supernatural beings in batches, whether it caused ability rampage or early ability awakening, if this heart in the chalcedony really had such ability, then after reporting this intelligence, this thing could be rated as a special-grade Cursed Object no matter what.
Moreover, this thing had been placed in this school for decades. Even if the seal on it had not been lifted before, and the spiritual concentration in previous years was far less than now, to be safe, not only the current students of Minegahara High School but also those who graduated from Minegahara High School in these years would probably all be checked to see if any of them had awakened abilities or were undergoing supernatural awakening.
This kind of thing was no longer something she, a Grade 2 sorcerer, could solve. After confirming with Miyauchi Hikage again that he was not mistaken, she reported this matter.
And during this time, Shinomiya Kaguya asked the female sorcerer with some expectation in her heart if she could hold this wooden box for a while.
Among the people present, she was the only one who hadn't completed supernatural awakening yet. Up to now, she had only obtained an entry-level spiritual constitution by redeeming the Elementary Spirit Sight.
If this thing could really make people awaken supernaturally in advance, even if it might lead to spoiling things by excessive enthusiasm, she believed that her diary could definitely remove those side effects.
She was still looking forward to what kind of superpower she could awaken.
However, the female sorcerer also saw Shinomiya Kaguya's thoughts and directly rejected Shinomiya Kaguya's proposal.
Whether this thing would cause other effects on the human body had not been confirmed yet. Before that, it naturally couldn't be handed over to Shinomiya Kaguya.
Regarding this, although Shinomiya Kaguya felt a little regretful, she didn't insist.
She looked at Miyauchi Hikage beside her.
She wondered if Miyauchi Hikage's Projection Technique could project that heart. Maybe she could ask him to help her with this favor?
So while Shinomiya Kaguya was thinking wildly about these things, an hour passed, and Nanami Kento, the miserable overtime worker, came over in despair to accept the transfer of this Cursed Object.
Miyauchi Hikage could understand the look Nanami Kento gave him.
The meaning of that look was "Can you be quieter and cause less trouble for me? For you, I have worked overtime twice this weekend."
Regarding this, Miyauchi Hikage sincerely expressed his apology, and at the same time helplessly stated that these were all force majeure factors.
If you want to blame someone, blame Kenjaku, that old schemer.
