Chapter 11 - Gifted

"Through the extensive medical review we have concluded that the whole population could be segregated into three groups. The first are the normal humans who produce and consume the same amount of curse energy. As a result they cannot see or feel the presence of curses. Second are the jujutsu sorcerers who produce more curse energy than their body can naturally consume. They channel this extra curse energy into curse technique. And lastly are the gifted ones, their bodies consume extensively more curse energy than it produces, making them incapable of perceiving curses. But as a result of high curse energy metabolism they achieve greater physical prowess. But there are many exceptions to this rule such that it can't vaguely be called as a rule. Mechamaru body was fragile from birth but it produces extensive curse energy, a reverse of the typical heavenly restriction. And I believe that there are many exceptions still undocumented." Aoi, the twin tailed medic girl said.

"What significance does it bore? And what about individuals that become fully gifted later in their life. Making Zennin she was not completely gifted before going on a massacre. What do you make out of it?" Mahi asked.

"We think that certain normal individuals can become either sorcerers or gifted by sudden and severe mental trauma. The death of Mai Zennin was a traumatic event for Maki Zennin triggering her complete heavenly restriction " Aoi replied.

"So you are suggesting that any normal human can be turned to either if subjected to an intense mental stimuli?" Mahi questioned.

"In theory, Yes. But I don't know whether it is practical. But the appearance of awakened sorcerers during the culling game gives us some hint regarding the matter." Aoi hinted towards that incident. 

"Well thank you, Aoi. Now to the main discussion. The higher ups has agreed that Megumi Zenin recent activities are the premonitions to an incoming disaster. As such they had urged us to prepare an Anti - Megumi squad. We will keep the list short with capable and high ranking sorcerers" He coughed and stated "Usami, Chiharu, Tsurugi and Jabida" 

Yuka quickly stood up and said agressively "Why not me? Why am I being excluded from the list?"

"Both you and Megumi are ten shadow users. And he is more proficient in summoning them." Usami stated no further.

Angrily Yuka left the room. Everyone thought that the meeting was over.

"Tsurugi you wait, I have something to discuss with you" Usami told holding him by his shoulder.
