Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College

**Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School** (東 (とう) 京 (きょう) 都 (と) 立 (りつ) 呪 (じゅ) 術 (じゅつ) 高 (こう) 等 (とう) 専 (せん) 門 (もん) 学 (がっ) 校 (こう) , *Tōkyō Toritsu Jujutsu Kōtō Senmon Gakkō*?, lit. **Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College**), commonly referred to as **Tokyo Jujutsu High**, is one of only two jujutsu educational institutions in Japan dedicated to fostering the next generation of jujutsu sorcerers.

## Description

Tokyo Jujutsu High serves not only as a training ground for the next generation of sorcerers but a headquarters for all alumni who have graduated on to be full-fledged jujutsu sorcerers as well. All sorcerers play a role in mentoring jujutsu students, whether in a teacher's role or accompanying them on missions. Weaker sorcerers are assigned the roles of windows, someone who can see curses but is not considered a full-fledged sorcerer or managers to contribute as well.

The jujutsu schools are considered the place for the community and provide mediation, general support, education, and shelter.

## Location

Tokyo Jujutsu High is a broad campus of several buildings build in a traditional Japanese architectural style, operating under the guise of a Buddhist temple. The school building is well hidden on Tokyo's outskirts, far and high in the mountains. Naturally, there are a lot of trees around the property to further obscure the location. Some elements other than the buildings reflect the Buddhist theme. There are several statues of deities, shrines, and torii gates around the campus.

There are several entrances into the school. The entire property is hidden by a protective barrier maintained by Master Tengen, who lives beneath the school in the star's underground tombs. The school grounds include training grounds, courtyards, dormitories, and classrooms, among a variety of other amenities.

### Administration

Main Article: *Jujutsu Headquarters*

Both Jujutsu High locations were established by Jujutsu Headquarters as institutions for the education, guidance, and supervision of jujutsu sorcerers. The Principal serves as the head of the school and oversees all affairs concerning the training of sorcerers, handles of all sorcerers of danger, and has the authority to command and supervise all sorcerers. The Principal is appointed by Jujutsu Headquarters based on recommendations of the Big Three Sorcerer Families. Jujutsu Headquarters has the commanding authority of the Principal and the commander can take control over all sorcerers in the case of an emergency. Jujutsu sorcerers must report any source of danger to the Principal. Based on their report, the Principal will determine the level of danger, notify Jujutsu Headquarters, and dispatch the necessary personnel and resources to neutralize the threat.

Jujutsu Headquarters is predominantly controlled by the conservative faction of the higher-ups that often clash with Satoru Gojo, including members such as Kyoto Principal, Yoshinobu Gakuganji. The members of the higher-ups meet on campus to discuss developments in meetings with selected sorcerers, such as Satoru. These meetings take place in a dimly lit room illuminated by candle lights where the higher-up's bodies are hidden by doors. Many of the politics that play out due to the influence of the higher-ups affect the students. For example, both Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori were sentenced to death by Jujutsu Headquarters before they were vouched for by Satoru and enrolled in Jujutsu High. Another example was Nozomi Bugendai, the newly discovered Star Plasma Vessel, was ordered to be merged with Master Tengen immediately, but was vouched for by Satoru and enrolled in Jujutsu High, along with Tengen's refusal to merge with Nozomi.

### Rules and Security

Upon enrolling in Jujutsu High, transfer students are taught about the school's rules and security measures. The school is protected by Master Tengen's barrier, which hides its location from the outside world. Those who already know the location can easily find it. One entrance is in the foothills of Mount Mushiro up a long set of stairs marked with a series of torii gates.

All jujutsu sorcerers must abide by jujutsu regulations. There appear to be several articles, most of which have not been revealed. They call for someone's immediate execution even if they become a potential vessel to a curse as powerful as Sukuna. Article 9 of the jujutsu regulations punishes jujutsu sorcerers turned curse users with execution as well.

## Curriculum

The school's curriculum is taught over four years. The concept is to train young sorcerers to control their curses and use them to exorcise other curses. All classes appear to be taught by active professional jujutsu sorcerers. The teachers regulate their students' training regiments and education as they see fit. Sorcerers are rare, so classes are often small and focused on building up the individual students into competent sorcerers as quickly as possible.

Students are given a formal education with standard school classes such as homeroom and sorcerer training through practical jujutsu classes. They move from their original homes to live on campus in the dormitories. The majority of training, classes, and school events are all conducted on campus grounds.

Practical training assignments and field tests often consist of investigating paranormal locations and exorcising weaker curses. Jujutsu High students are ranked on the same scale as professional jujutsu sorcerers, which their student ID reflects. Same as jujutsu sorcerers, students are given missions according to their ranking. When leaving school grounds to exorcise curses as a part of their training to gain experience, students are often supervised by a sorcerer or manager.

## Uniforms

The male school uniform consists of asymmetrical blue jackets with high collars and two pins on the left side engraved with the school logo. The male uniform is completed with a pair of matching blue slacks. The standard female uniform has the same top with a skirt for a bottom.

The uniforms are highly customizable, and many of the students have their own variations of the uniform. The top half of Nobara's uniform is similar to a traditional gakuran uniform, with buttons from top to bottom down the middle. Yuta's uniform is all white, and Yuji's uniform is customized with a hood as one of many possible examples.

Jujutsu High has summer and winter uniforms like most Japanese schools. There usually isn't much difference between them other than breathability because the uniforms must remain practical for combat. If a student desires a custom uniform, they can put in a request with the school.

## School Events

**Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event**: Tokyo and Kyoto students participate in a joint annual competition to promote goodwill between the sister schools. The competition takes place on the campus of the previous year's winner. The principals of both schools decide on two competitions for the students centered around jujutsu battles. Traditionally there is always a team competition and an individual competition.

## Landmarks

**Cursed Warehouse** (, *****Cursed Warehouse*****?): There is a small warehouse on the path towards of the Tombs of the Star that is used to store cursed tools and cursed objects. Choso can sense his brother's inside the warehouse, allowing him to bypass the concealing barrier. Mahito did the same thing to break in during the Goodwill Event. Following the Shibuya Incident, the Kamo and Zenin clans cleared out most of the cursed tools and took them back to their respective properties.

### Tomb of the Star

**Tomb of the Star** (薨 (こう) 星 (せい) 宮 (ぐう) , *Kōseigū*?): The Tombs of the Star Corridor where Master Tengen resides is protected by their concealing barrier. Only one door leads to the corridor but there are over a thousand doors that continuously shuffle. The correct door opens to a massive drop with tall old trees with no foliage below. This leads to the space between the entrance and the actual tomb. It is an indoor forest area with trees, grass, and dirt. Jujutsu High's cursed warehouse where they store cursed objects is located in this area.
Deeper inside is an elevator that descends underground to the main corridor. The main hall consists of a compound of old buildings that circle around a gigantic tree. There is a path that leads directly to the base of the tree where Master Tengen resides. The bloodstains from Riko Amani's death still remain on this path eleven years later.
There is also another barrier at the entrance to Master Tengen's shrine that prevents anyone from intruding other than those directly invited. If one were to enter and be rejected, they would walk into an empty white space void of Master Tengen's presence.
