Jujutsu Headquarters

Template:Under Construction

**Jujutsu Headquarters** (呪 (じゅ)術 (じゅつ)総 (そう)監 (かん)部 (ぶ), *Jujutsu Sōkanbu*?) is the command center of the jujutsu world established within the Government of Japan as the supreme authority over all jujutsu sorcerers in the country. Members of Jujutsu Headquarters are generally referred to as the "higher-ups" and they're led by the **Jujutsu Commander** (呪 (じゅ)術 (じゅつ)総 (そう)監 (かん), *Jujutsu Sōkan*?), who the Prime Minister chooses based on nominations from the Major Sorcerer Families.

## Overview

Led by the Jujutsu Commander, the higher-ups of Jujutsu Headquarters are in charge of regulating the activities of jujutsu sorcerers as well as establishing and enforcing the laws they abide by. Jujutsu Headquarters worked with the Big Three Sorcerer Families and the government to create the Jujutsu Regulations, a memorandum regarding the obligations of jujutsu sorcerers that supersedes all common laws.

Jujutsu Headquarters is not to be confused with Jujutsu High, which most sorcerers utilize as a base of operations. It is unknown where Jujutsu Headquarters is located but as it's a part of the government, common sorcerers don't usually convene there. Jujutsu Headquarters has direct control over both jujutsu educational institutions. The Principal of each campus is selected by headquarters based on recommendations from the Major clans. The Jujutsu Commander has authority over the Principal and in the case of the emergency, can take direct command of all sorcerers, including those at the schools. While requests for promotions go through Jujutsu High, sorcerer grades are certified and adjusted by Jujutsu Headquarters in accordance with established standards. Any sorcerer who wishes to retire will be un-graded and must receive the approval of Jujutsu Headquarters.

Jujutsu Headquarters monitors all investigations and missions involving jujutsu-related threats. Upon discovering danger, sorcerers must report it to their chain of command, which will eventually reach the higher-ups. Jujutsu Headquarters may impose one or more disciplinary actions upon a sorcerer who fails to follow the chain of command or violates the rules.

When meeting with sorcerers, the higher-ups assemble in a dimly lit room illuminated only by candles where their bodies are concealed behind doors that encircle the sorcerer they're meeting with.

### Conservative Faction

The higher-ups are primarily comprised of members that belong to the conservative or orthodox faction of jujutsu sorcerers. Conservative doesn't only refer to upholding regulations, as the higher-ups also have specific ideas of what jujutsu should be like. The conservative faction has the majority influence on Jujutsu Headquarters, as it is mainly backed by the Major clans. Due to their opposition to any type of progression and their unwillingness to bend any rules under any circumstances, the conservative faction often clashes with strong sorcerers they're unable to control properly.
