Jujutsu kaisen: Sorceress Of Fortune

9-Perspective

"Only Grade 1? But Special grades are the strongest"

"Yoshi, Special Grade sorcerer is not a title to praise their strength. Rather, it's the label of the sorcerers with dangerous potential, which means they cannot be controlled by any means. Hence, Special grades don't have much power politically. Of course, there is one exception to this rule"

"Gojo Satoru?"

"Yes. Gojo Satoru, the special grade sorcerer of the Gojo clan. As a special grade he's politically tied however, he's also a clan head of the Gojo clan. So, He still retains political power."

"what does political power mean?"

"You will learn it as you grow up but for now, think of it like this, when a crucial decision is needed to be taken, all Grade 1's need to express their opinion. Depending on that, the decision will be taken. Even the higher-ups had to abide by the decisions of all Grade 1 sorcerers even if they were the ultimate ones in power"

Deciding that it is enough for Yoshi. Kairi decided to change the topic and teach the most important non-innate cursed technique.

"Now, Innate Domain is something everyone is born with. Whether sorcerers like us, non-sorcerers like your uncle Itadori, or cursed spirits, everyone has it. It's the mental landscape that embodies the mind of an individual, it reflects the mind and soul. It is the core of the peak sorcery technique called Domain expansion"

Yoshi has read about Domain expansions. It is common during the golden age of jujutsu and reaching it is called reaching the peak of sorcery.

"Inside a Domain expansion, the cursed technique will 100% hit the target and the innate technique can be expressed at its full potential due to your cursed energy output increasing to the maximum as you are surrounded by your innate domain expanded in reality. Since your cursed energy output has reached its maximum, your body's strength will also increase to its maximum. There are several ways to escape it."

Yoshi studied domain battles before. Wanted to be praised by her grandma, she proudly explained.

"I know them, Grandma. Only new shadow style techniques and expanding our domain are the counters to domain expansion"

However, to Yoshi's dismay. Her grandma shot her down.

"New shadow style is a school that teaches swordsmanship by using Simple domains as the base. And yes, Simple domain disrupts the domain expansion but you are merely delaying your death. Erecting your own domain expansion is always the right way but you don't have it now. With that being said, you can use Simple domain and Domain expansion to counter enemies"

"Grandma, I'm confused. What are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying, don't let your opponent expand their domain first. If it's a curse, exorcise it as quickly as possible. If it's a sorcerer, kill him before he can even cast it. If you failed to do so and your enemy expanded his domain, use a simple domain like this. "

Kairi formed a hand seal. A small circle of cursed energy expanded from her foot and in an instant the circle radius increased.

"This is a simple domain. You can use chants and gestures to cast it in an instant or cast it like this with just a  gesture. This was originally meant to be passed down through Sadatsuna Ashiya's school of thought and was forbidden to spread to outsiders through binding vows. However, other sorcerers saw the technique in action and were able to copy it for themselves, something the bindings did not account for."

Yoshi instantly realised it "A loophole in binding vow?"

"Yes. Initially Created as a counter for domain expansions, Simple Domain neutralizes a domain's guaranteed-hit function by affecting its barrier and not the imbued cursed technique. However, against a proper domain expansion, Simple Domain can only hope to buy its user time. Powerful domains can destroy simple domains within seconds"

Cancelling the technique, Kairi continued "In my opinion. This technique has potential. Simple Domain barriers can be customized with different rules and binding vows to affect those within it, both caster and target. Now, do it"

"What?"

"I said, cast a simple domain"

Yoshi fumbled hearing the order from her grandma, she wanted to train in it for some time to cast it perfectly. She wanted to show how great she was when she showed the perfect result.

"Grandma, don't I need time to train?"

"Yoshi, I'm not asking you to show me the new shadow-style techniques. It's a swordsmanship skill. I'm asking you to cast a simple domain, a non-innate cursed technique"

"But training.."

"So, I was not wrong in my assumption that your perspective has changed "

Kairi has been observing Yoshi all this while. She has seen the slowed progress of Yoshi when she trained as she grew up due to a change in perspective compared to fast initial progress. However, Jujutsu sorcery doesn't work like that. It's the negative emotions, risk, and mentality that matter more.

"Yoshi, jujutsu sorcery is different, it is not a discipline. A sorcerer's growth is exponential, it grows with each skill a sorcerer learns. The only training you will ever need in jujutsu sorcery is controlling cursed energy and getting used to fighting. Once you achieve that, there's nothing more to train to grow as a sorcerer. You just have to learn new techniques and as you grow up, your life experiences will shape your power of cursed energy. Your accumulated negative emotions can produce more cursed energy and even your mindset will strengthen it"

"But, when you taught me how to create barriers and strengthen my body with cursed energy, you asked me to train"

"Ah, that's for you to get used to the feel of cursed energy and control your residue. To be honest, you did great on your first try. As I said, sorcery is not a discipline, you will understand it as you grow up. Don't let the mindset of training will make you stronger shackle you. Now, cast a simple domain. I'm sure you will nail it on your first try. Just believe in yourself and your control over cursed energy"

Yoshi began to cast simple domain and thought 'Grandma never lies to me. I will just have to trust her'

With her fierce belief, she remembered how the cursed energy around her grandma moved. A simple domain expanded around her.

"It worked!!"

Yoshi shouted with excitement. She can sense the barrier around her as it's made out of her own cursed energy.

"Good, that can disrupt a domain. However, depending on your weapon of choice, you can customize it. I will teach you the new shadow style later. For now, that's enough for today"
