Oh, how times change.

Back when Tsuchimikado Kagemitsu was young, there hadn 't been a

single

The designation of 'Special Grade ' was more of an ideal and an honorary ranking in respectful acknowledgment of the powerful sorcerers in their history who 'd walked these lands during the Golden Age of jujutsu.

And then Tsukumo Yuki appeared.

The great debate over whether or not to grant this child the title of 'Special Grade ' had been well and truly fierce. Many were in disbelief over the very
