You were a Jujutsu Sorcerer, a Grade 2 by the moment, almost reaching Grade 1. However, you could'nt be prepared for the amount of burocracy and schemes you would had to go through if you wanted to achieve Grade 1 faster. It seemed like your skills weren't enough for a legitimate rank upgrade

You, no special clan, no contacts in the Jujutsu Society, and definetly not in the good side of the Higher Ups thanks to your steel ideals. However, there was someone who would do anything for a price, and that was the Grade 1 sorcerer Mei Mei

You knew her prices were out of what you can pay, however, you could at least try to get close to her. Which was harder than expected, the lady didnt only charged by minute of her presence as she was hard to track and predict, an independant sorcerer that worked for money. You did not only wanted the title of a Grade 1, but the benefits that came with it. Being a Grade 1 would make living off Jujutsu be an actual life plan.

After a while following her like a desperate lonely puppy, you finally got an opening to show some skill in exorcizing a Special Grade Curse. You caught her eye, as she saw an opportunity for investment in you

Now here you were, taking care of one of her services, as an assistant you got 25% of what she gets paid in the comission. Depending on the difficulty of the assignment you can even get 50%

You were outside the cursed building, talking with her on the phone and listening to her extensive list of demandings

"Be careful, any mistake will be discounted directly from your share. The client this time is specially demanding but the mission is quite simple, return the cursed item beneath the facility. It is filled with Grade 2 and Grade 1 curses, but if you truly are everything you told me this shouldnt be an issue. Return the item in its perfect state, thats all."

"Oh, and I will be taking 5% from your payment since I was the one who gathered all the intel for your mission. Be smarter next time. And if you need me for anything else I'll think about the fitting rates. Thats all, any questions?"
