Blurb:
Since the Industrial Revolution, classical magic had declined due to its poor efficiency. Then came electronic computers, ushering in modern magic and the high-efficiency age of code.
Sakakibara Kourin, the strongest modern mage currently active, loved reading manga. Provoked by an absurd new plot development, she charged in, shouting about friendship, passion, and saving the world
The Shibuya Incident. On the front lines, curses fought a bloody battle against 5T5, doing everything they could to seal away the strongest of the modern era.
The brain shouted, "See you in a hundred years!"
In the rear, Sakakibara Kourin picked up her tablet and deftly opened a code window: she would turn the world into code!
She decisively changed the Prison Realm's location and altered its sealing conditions.
The Prison Realm hit the ground, successfully sealing away the thousand-year-old brain.
285, who had inexplicably escaped disaster: ?
The sealed brain: !!!
The curses looking on: stunned.jpg
*
A curse with a sanity-destroying appearance appeared before her, raising a question
Could curses only be exorcised with cursed energy?
Sakakibara Kourin displayed her admirable scientific spirit and activated [True Sight].
The curse transformed into flowing strings of code in her brilliant golden eyes.
She thrust her hand straight into the curse's body and grabbed its core: unauthorized access, code reversal!
The next second, the curse vanished into dust.
Sakakibara Kourin: Easy!
Geto the Cult Leader: ?
Geto the Cult Leader: That was a curse I had just subdued!

The rotten higher-ups of the Jujutsu Council saw mages as a thorn in their side. They were accustomed to manipulating connections and eliminating anyone who disagreed with them.
A code program started up. The wronged souls who had died because of the higher-ups' schemes returned in digital form, haunting the skies above headquarters day and night and following them wherever they went.
The higher-ups of the Jujutsu Council: Don't come any closer! Aaaaaah!
Watching the rotten old men, worn down to the point of mental exhaustion, Sakakibara Kourin smiled faintly, keeping her role in it a secret.
*
After using code to make ghosts real and scare the guilty old men, she immediately got back to work. Using the entire Tokyo network of surveillance cameras, she played a game of cat and mouse with a certain curse user.
Sakakibara Kourin wiped the sweat from her forehead: Another day, another world saved!
Gojo & Geto: What exactly did you save, anyway?!
[Bonus scene]
After the Star Plasma Vessel mission, her classmates started to think a certain Six Eyes user was acting strangely.
Every now and then, he'd start collecting things, saying stuff like, "Ah, she'd like this, I'll keep it!" and "This is hilarious, I'll save it and show it to her later."
The future designated doctor: His brain's broken, right?
The man bun was sharp enough to pick up on it: Her?
But the carefree junior asked bluntly, "Who is she, senpai?"
The white-haired senpai took off his glasses and started showing off: "Obviously, she's my girlfriend."
Everyone: ...
Okay, his brain really was broken.
Years later, 5T5, now a teacher, led a purple-haired girl back to Jujutsu High and introduced her to everyone.
Everyone: You actually have a girlfriend?!
Reader notes:
1. The original title was: The Possibility of Rewriting the Script with Modern Magic [Jujutsu Kaisen]
2. A lighthearted plot-focused story, paired with 5T5. There may be two Gojos in the middle of the story (
3. The heroine is very strong. Her abilities come from the obscure series The Simple and Easy Guide to Modern Magic, plus some original elements. The whole point of this story is to kick all the death flags away (
4. An alternate fantasy setting, so please don't compare it to reality. There are clues planted early on.
5. Trying to update daily.
6. Thanks to my friends for helping revise the blurb > <
Upcoming story blurb:
You transmigrated while staying up late farming artifacts.
[System: Player No. 001 detected. System starting. Genshin Impact open-world adventure mode loaded. Objective: Farm an artifact set with perfect double-crit stats. Reward: One full set of revival armor.]
Good news: You got bound to the Genshin Impact System. Defeat monsters and artifacts drop immediately!
Bad news: You didn't arrive in Teyvat. You arrived in Tokyo!
No matter. As long as you can farm golden artifacts with double crit, you fear nothing, whether you're in Tokyo or Teyvat.
But there's one problem
You're terribly unlucky.
Looking at your 2,400 garbage golden artifacts in your inventory, you completely broke down.
With the System's help, you created a new account, and your artifact-farming journey began with exploring the map and completing quests.
On your first day at Jujutsu High, you introduced yourself: "Hi, everyone. My ability is to get useless substats every single time, and my life goal is to farm artifacts with maxed-out double-crit stats."
The three Jujutsu High students in the audience: ? Another person who's gone crazy playing games
Then, on the training grounds, you equipped Barbara's skill and slapped one of Suguru Geto's curses so hard it got stuck in the wall, then healed yourself at the same time.
Geto & Gojo: What happened to those useless substats?!
You smiled shyly: "My healing set's circlet has an ATK substat of +34.8%."
In front of the Tombs of the Star Corridor, the Heavenly Restriction user attacked relentlessly and drove the final blade toward your chest
But it wouldn't go in.
Heavenly Restriction user: ?
You, suddenly acting like an overbearing CEO: "Do you like this elemental goblet with defensive substats of 24.7% +23, big sis? Hmm?"
…
In Jujutsu High's third semester, a transfer student with a mysterious identity joined the first year.
She was always muttering things no one else could understand, and her behavior was strange, too.
She skipped class every day, yet showed up punctually at Teacher Yaga's office each day.
During training on the grounds, she would also casually run off halfway through to climb a wall and pick mushrooms, then pull out a cooking pot and barbecue skewers on the spot.
She would chase curses around with her technique, creating all kinds of flashy, colorful effects, while muttering things like water vaporizes fire, ice melts fire, and lightning catalyzes plants.
Classmates confused.jpg, classmates stunned.jpg
And you simply said
Exploring the map, yay! Opening chests, yay! Triggering elemental reactions, yay :)
Farming artifacts, not yay :(
Theme: Have the courage to fight back against fate
I suddenly thought, can Teacher 5 tell that dk5 likes Guang Rin?
He actually didn't write about the two enlightenment meeting! Woohoo! And... The posts I was following suddenly became weekly updates, and I was so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe [crying]
Ah? I feel like it hasn't started yet, is it about to end?
I think Glass has discovered something! But 285 hasn't found anything yet! Purdah's Enlightenment (I hate iron but cannot become steel. Jpg) I am worse than my 18-year-old self! If you are in deep boudoir, it will be easily delivered to your door automatically (Devil Whispers. Jpg)!
Is Nanami a reliable adult?
Surrounded by five large and small strips, there is Xiao Wu in the dormitory, and there is Da Wu outside. Isn't this a kind of hugging from left to right? [Bad laugh][Bad laugh][Bad laugh]

It should, maybe, probably, or it's not that soon when the two enlightenments are flanking, but my brain is already automatically generating this picture, just because the two enlightenments are at the same point in time, and it is still in the present continuous tense. Doesn't that mean that after 185 finds out his feelings, there will be emotional feedback from 285 to QAQ, which is the kind of ah, present continuous tense (I don't know what I want to say, but it's probably like this, hold your head)
It's good-looking, but a little too short. It's too pure love. The whole text is just a kiss.
Ah? ? Is it reasonable to stop here? Is it appropriate to have no extras? ?
