Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - Friends Discover the Other World
It has come to the day when Jake's friends at the school, come to his house.
Jake is waiting at the door to the villa, with Night sitting beside him, and has seen a car pull up. The car door opened and out came Kaori, Kaede, Yukine, Rin, Ryou, and Shingo. Jake went up to them and welcomed them inside, "Thanks for coming, do you want to look around the villa or do you want to play with Night first?"
"Thank you for having us," They all thanked Jake for inviting them.
"Can we bring Night to have a look around the villa?" Kaede asked Jake.
"We can do that, do you all agree with this arrangement?" Jake liked the idea, but asked the others if they agreed.
"I'm fine with it," Ryou said, and the others also agreed saying it slightly differently.
Jake took them to the inside of the villa, and showed them the inside of the villa first. He first took them to the kitchen, dining table, showed them the lounge rooms, and took them to the gym.
In the gym is the regular work out equipment, however there are also various cursed tools inside it, hanging on the walls or in the weapon racks.
"Damn, are these real weapons?" Ryou asked amazed as he saw the different weapons.
"Yeah, they are real, do you want to hold them?" Jake replied and asked if they wanted to hold the weapons.
"Hell yeah, is there any rules for holding them or banned weapons?" Ryou asked extremely excited.
"No there aren't any banned weapons, and there are no rules, except make sure that if you are going to fight someone with it, they must first agree and you can't kill anyone with them," Jake replied before showing them the weapons.
Jake took out a long sword for Ryou to hold, before he could give the cursed tool to Ryou, Kaede asked Jake, "What do you mean fighting with them, wouldn't it seriously injure people?"
"It means it literally, because these weapons are cursed tools, which are the only weapons that are able to deal damage to curses, because they are imbued with cursed energy, which is what sorcerers have so they can exorcise curses," Jake said to them, explaining things about curses and sorcerers.
"So is that what the things you were fighting against in the park?" Kaori asked Jake.
When Jake heard this, he remembered killing Suguru Geto which made him a little sad, but still said, "Yes, those are curses which jujutsu sorcerers exorcise to protect non sorcerers from curses."
After they spoke for a while they ended the conversation, before continuing to show them the villa. After they toured the villa Jake showed them the outside of the villa.
After touring the villa, it was getting close to lunch, so Jake began to go and cook lunch for everyone, which he added the stat increasing herbs to the lunch. As he gave them the made lunch, Satoru Gojo walked into the villa, and went up to Jake, asking him, "Is it okay to take the students of this year to the other world, and you are also planning to take your friends to the other world so they can better protect themselves, right?"
"Yeah you can take the students of this year to the other world, and I am also planning to take them to the other world after lunch," Jake responded which confused the people eating lunch.
"What do you guys mean by other world?" Ryou asked Jake.
"It means it literally, when I was 6 years old, I accidentally found a secret door in the house which had a lot of mysterious items in it, one of the items is a door that leads to another world that is like a game world, except without hp," Jake told them some details of the world.
"Does that mean that there are levels?" Shingo asked excited.
"Yes there are levels, however let's wait until you all finish eating before going to the other world," Jake responded and replied to them.
As time passed, all of Jake's friends ate their lunch and they went to the other world, with status screens appearing for each of them.

"Now, you all have to be careful in this area, because there are very strong monsters in this area when compared to you all, I will give you all some of the best armour in this world and some weapons so that if you want to you can kill some monsters. I will also give you some stat boosting elixirs and herbs to make you stronger to be safer, and a suppression amulet so that if in non dangerous situations you can live like normal if you want to," Jake told them.
"So, do you want us to come fight monsters?" Kaede asked slightly confused.
"Not really, I just don't want any of you to be in danger, however if you want to fight monsters, you can if you want," Jake told them sincerely.
"Um, is this because of what happened at the park?" Kaori asked Jake.
"This is the main reason, because of being a jujutsu sorcerer and because I was experimented on when I was younger by a specific curse user, you will all be in danger if you hang around me," Jake told them what led him to make this decision.
"What, you were experimented on, are you injured, why did the person who experimented on you do it?" Rin exclaimed and asked in shock.
"I have recovered completely from my injuries from the Cure-All Herb that has been growing here, and Kenjaku experimented on me because he wanted me to kill Big Bro Satoru, it's because of the experiments done on me that I have the Six-Eyes and the Limitless cursed techniques of the Gojo Clan, the Blood Manipulation cursed technique of the Kamo Clan, and the 10 Shadows Technique cursed technique of the Zenin Clan, while still having much more cursed energy even with my heavenly restriction that splits my cursed energy reserves more than half which strengthens my physical body to an immense degree and increases my limit of growth the more it is fully awakened," Jake explained to them about the experiments done on him.
"Alright, I was going to say that you might have been slightly forceful, but if that's the reason, I get why you decided to do this," Rin said to Jake.
"Well, I would have preferred to keep all this a secret for a while longer, but I have figured that I can't watch you all 24/7 to keep you all safe," Jake said slightly sorry.
"Don't worry about it, we don't care, we just want you to be a little more open to us," Ryou said to Jake.
After they talked for a while longer, they decided to defeat 1 monster each to improve their level. They defeated 1 monster each and have increased their stats, and are heading back to the house, when they saw a group of people, led by Satoru Gojo leaving the cabin.
"Yo, Jake didn't expect you to finish up so fast, have they got the strength to protect themselves?" Satoru Gojo said to Jake and asked.
"Yeah, they have the strength to protect themselves, I am going to go send them back, it's getting kind of late," Jake replied to Satoru Gojo.
"Jake, you should stop caring so much, some day, you are going to help someone who will betray you if you trust people so easily," Maki said to Jake concerned.
"It's fine, I still hope that I have a good judge of character," Jake replied and took the words to heart.
"Jake, you should know that in the world of jujutsu, people's character can change after just one incident, like what happened to Suguru, it is harder to happen outside of jujutsu, but it still occurs," Satoru Gojo told Jake.
"Jake, who are these people?" Ryou asked Jake.
"Oh, they are my friends from Tokyo Jujutsu High, where my brother works," Jake responded.
He then specially introduced 3 people to them, "This is Satoru Gojo, my big brother who I call Big Bro Satoru, this is Maki, who is one of my girlfriends, and this is Mai, who is another of my girlfriends."
"Wait, Jake, you have multiple girlfriends, and are you really sincere towards them, because you introduced your brother first?" Rin questioned Jake.
"Yeah, he has multiple girlfriends, we allowed it as the 3 of us wanted to date him at the same time, but not make him have to choose one of us, and he is sincere to us, it's just because we started dating the same day he joined your school, and because Gojo Sensei rescued him from the person who experimented on Jake, along with Suguru Geto who practically forced Jake to kill him by destroying Jake mentally till Jake's mind snapped, so he is now extremely attached to Gojo Sensei, with Jake still trying to save him from being killed by Kenjaku's schemes," Mai said to Rin and the others.
"So this is the reason why he's not been going to school and why he's so pale," Ryou finally figured out what's wrong with Jake recently.
As they looked at him with concern, they saw complex emotions in Jake's eyes, with unwillingness, sadness, regret, anger, and no positive emotions in his eyes, with his hands clenched so hard that he started bleeding.
"It's okay, we won't leave you, and will wait for you to get better, no matter how long it takes," Kaede said to Jake, with the other's nodding.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
After they talked for a while longer, Jake took them back to the original world, and sent them back home. He arrived back at his house and went back to the other world.
He removed all his armour, wearing just specially made clothes, he created a wooden sword with the construction cursed technique which he copied from Mai, activated the suppression amulet to it's full power, suppressing all of Jake's stats to 1000 points, deactivating all the skills that are useful in battle, some of which are: [Divine-High Speed Regeneration][Divine Universal Detection][Divine Universal Enhancement], etc. banning himself from using cursed energy, magic energy, etc. only using a wooden sword.
[Self Regenerating Divine Clothes]
A specially made set of clothes, that will quickly regenerate damage to them, but gives no defensive protection, is made to be extremely comfortable, and doesn't restrict movements.
He started to find monsters, quickly finding a Hell Slime, he quickly went to attack it, causing his sword to break. He created another wooden sword, this time inducing his thoughts to have only the belief to cut through anything in the blades path.
He slashed the Hell Slime with an angular cut, with the blade going clean through it, killing it, as a status screen appeared in front of Jake.
Skill [Absolute Cutting] Acquired

The difficulty of the targets cuttable at each level are based on the simplest wooden sword, made with the most ordinary workmanship, and the most ordinary wood.
Jake quickly began to fight monsters, cutting through them more easily and with the wooden sword breaking less times. After about 30 minutes, he cut through the monsters around the level of strength of the Hell Slime and Bloody Ogre very easily and the wooden sword stopped breaking.
He created a wooden 3-section staff, and did the same thing over again, getting another new skill.
[Absolute Bludgeoning]
Allows the user to bludgeon anything to decimation except divinity. The hardness and difficulty of targets that the user can bludgeon increases with the skills level.

He continued to do the same thing over and over again, until the 3-section staff stopped breaking and it easily decimated the monsters around the strength of the Hell Slime and the Bloody Ogre.
He created a wooden spear, and did the same thing over again, getting a new skill, again.
[Absolute Piercing]
Allows the user to be able to pierce through anything except divinity, the hardness and difficulty of targets that the user can pierce through increases with the skills level. The difficulty of the targets pierceable at each level are based on the simplest wooden spear, made with the most ordinary workmanship, and the most ordinary wood.
He continued to do the same thing over and over again, until the wooden spear stopped breaking and easily pierced through monsters around the strength of the Hell Slime and the Bloody Ogre.
After this, he created his final type of weapon, which was a whip made out of regular rope. He tried to bind the monsters over and over again but it wasn't working.
'Bind, bind, bind, I have to calm down,' Jake thought to himself as he was getting frustrated.
He began to calm down and entered a state of complete and utter focus. He threw the whip out to bind a Bloody Ogre again, thinking: 'Bind, I will bind it, I must bind it, I can bind it.'
He hypnotised himself because of the intensity of the focus, so much that he didn't notice when the Bloody Ogre was bound.
After he began to lose focus, he realised what he had done, and a status window appeared in front of him again, as he got what he believes to be the final weapon skill or it's non-divine form.
Skill [Absolute Binding] Acquired

Allows the user to bind anything, except divine beings. The strength and difficulty of the targets that the user can bind increases with the skills level.

Jake then continued to train with Night. At the end of the practise, he could easily bind monsters around the strength of the Hell Slime and the Bloody Ogres. Night has also learned a 2 of the skills that Jake learned near the end of the training.
[Absolute Cutting]

As Jake was going to go back to the cabin to rest, Night ran off in a direction. Jake followed Night and found a girl being attacked by monsters.
The girl has extremely smooth skin, silver-blue hair of medium length that is styled in a low side ponytail where it rests on her left shoulder with long bangs hanging on the right side of her face, blue eyes, and she has a neutral facial expression.
Jake wanted to help her, but Night was preventing him from doing this.
After she fought them for a while, she was jumped by multiple goblin elites at once. The leader of the goblin elites side kicked her in the stomach while she was blocking the regular goblin elite's attacks, knocking her into a tree, and also knocking her out cold.
Jake saw this and despite Night's obstruction, he quickly went up and cut the goblins quickly with a wooden sword, killing them instantly.
