"Trash pull." It's been like this for quite some time now. Out of all his gacha pull, ninety percent of his items are just trash item, wasting all of his pulls.
Two years might be a short time for someone, even seem shorter when that someone is so occupied with work like Takumi.
"Why are we taking in so many curse users?" Naobita asked.
The two of them sat in the Zennin clan leader's private office. Takumi is busy with piles of papers in his hand and more piles beside them, all waiting for his approval.
The paper he's working on documents the reception of thousands of new members to the Zennin clan.
"Time is changing, and I do' want to be caught up. You could say."
"Of what ? The curse spirit ? Japan is handling them just fine."
"True, but for how long?"
For a good while, the amount of curse energy has been rising to a remarkable degree. So much so that the people have seen a cursed spirit brought into daylight.
This has been introducing a large quantity of sorcerers into Jujutsu society, most of them are young teens or middle-aged people, a big percentage are orphans, an easy way for the clan to take them in.
And that also made them just ripe as a human resource for any organization that uses sorcerers. An event like this, happening on a world scale. With Japan being the country to have the biggest curse spirit.
Such a big opportunity in front of his eyes, Takumi quickly took his clan, as well as the rest of the big three families, had established order for these newcomers.
In his role as a clan head, Takumi has been inducting as many as he can. For his personal purpose. This has been taken by many as an act of war. That includes the higher-ups.
"They said, you are preparing for a coup." Coming from her mouth, is an insane statement to make.
Not a single clan, big or small, even the old ones in charge, has predicted his moves to collect and be successful in recruiting members.
Being led by traditional laws set by the higher-ups has led to the decline of many conservative organizations. Mainly consists of their own government, and some clans. Takumi, who was leading with much more liberation, was far more acceptable to the masses.
"Ignoring them won't help our clan, and their techniques too are something to accept too." He said.
"I suppose."
As someone who has a non-traditional curse technique, it was one of the many reasons why Naobita chose to help Takumi in his goal.
Through, only in a limiting way. She can't be involved directly, so he can only have her in a counseling position.
"But even if you have the advantage in numbers, not all of them can be good sorcerers, some can barely be classified as a grade four."
"We can improve our troops in other ways."
"You mean those suits and weapons that you have ?"
Two words.
Gacha pulls.
Having a ton and ton of pulls means he can essentially provide a whole army's worth of supplies. The fact that he has bad luck won't matter much when he can just equip every soldier he has with tools that far exceed the limits of current-day weapons.
Suits from the world of Gantz; Guns, swords, even bombs and vehicles, he got them all in spares for the new group he is making.
"Where do you get the money for all of those things anyway ?" Naobita's eyes have a certain amount of skepticism in them.
"I got it from a gacha machine." He said with a genuine expression. Smiling from ear to ear.
"Right," she sighs internally, it would be foolish for someone to give up their supplier name so easily. But that, to her is a good thing.
While his secrecy only increased the level of wariness from the higher-ups, it was not something they could do about.
Searching and investigating for years has given them no clues to who or how Takumi got all the resources. Without evidence, they can't change him at all. Mostly because there is no one funding his group, besides himself.
All for the prepping process of his incoming war with another reincarnator. Their existence is not to be ignored, so he searches for a way to... up his game.
The army, the weapons, his buff, is there anymore that Takumi can do ? Yes. Yes, there is.
[World assimilation]
Like the system said, he can take any world and merge it with his own universe, giving him an extra boost. But that alone brings its own kind of trouble. He would get a power-up, but so would every other being living in the universe.
Senjaku, the other curse spirits, which may include Suzuna. Every sorcerer living on earth, like Megumi, and the rest of the JJK cast. So it's very much a double-edged sword.
And not to mention, he would still need to complete whatever dumb quest the system gives him. Now a hundred times harder.
Rubbing his head's temple, there's just so much work for him to do.
"So, about my daught-"
"It's still a no." Takumi's mouth cut her off before Naobita could even voice her offer.
"Still as stubborn as ever, I see." The older woman laughed it off, while Takumi was visibly annoyed by this.
Being a good leader doesn't make him invulnerable to being approached by people in the clan. Navigating the political world of Jujutsu Kaisen, fighting deadly curses, and even going to another world to do a dangerous quest. Nothing can help him overcome being sexually invaded.
Every elder in the clan, every daughter in a high position. Until now, they have once or twice tried to coax him into giving them a child or at least make him have more babies.
All of which have been turned down.
"It can't be that bad, I've told you that you don't even need to take responsibility for raising the kid."
"And I have told you many times that I do not care." He said, irritability arose within his voice, "look for someone else. I am not going to be your breeding bull." No matter how much he tried, they won't stop. Unless Tojiko is directly around to scare them off.
And he can't kill them either, because that would be a plausible cause for the higher-ups to come for him.
Moving on from that conversation. They have a back-and-forth dialogue, discussing future steps of the clan.
"Our new recruits would be sent to train at our Zennin compound. Those with exceptional strength can be sent to the Jujutsu High. Do they have to go to any particular school?"
No drastic changes occurred while he was at the Tokyo and Kyoto branch of Jujutsu High, Mei Mei and Kusakabe have been good students. Actually, they're growing to be great sorcerers.
Both of them graduated as grade-one sorcerers. Mei Mei chose to be an independent agent. Only living for the highest person who can pay him. Kusakabe stayed at Jujutsu High, working overtime as an instructor for the next batch of students.
"No, we want them to grow as sorcerer, plus. This will get the old fucks off my back." His clones are at the Kyoto branch anyway, so it really doesn't matter where they go. "After, we will put them in the Hei squad. So no problem there."
They kept on, talking for another hour or so about what can be improved.
"The other clan wants to meet up with you, by the way." She said, just before departing.
"I know. They've been silent when we took the lead in politics." Both the Gojo clan and the Kamo clan have their own issues. So they are here now, meaning something must change in their clan. "I'll see them as soon as I can, right now just let them wait for some more while we prioritize the matter at hand first."
