How to Seize the Life and Death Authority of Cursed Spirits

When Shinsuke Zenin arrived at Tokyo Jujutsu High, most of the teachers were already there.

Even a few teachers from Kyoto Jujutsu High had arrived.

"Quite the turnout. Is a Special Grade really worth this much fuss?"

Shinsuke Zenin took his seat, looking a bit surprised.

While Special Grade Cursed Spirits were strong, there was no need to summon so many people for one.

"It's not just a Special Grade Cursed Spirit; this matter involves a Curse User organization."

Satoru Gojo said expressionlessly, his tone even a bit serious.

He didn't take Cursed Spirits seriously, but when it involved his good brother, Geto Suguru, he had to be serious.

Even now, he still held onto the idea of Geto Suguru returning.

If the other man was willing to come back, he could handle any opposition from the higher-ups by himself.

Just then, Shoko Ieiri entered, pushing a wheelchair. On it was Riko Amanai, her body completely wrapped in bandages.

Riko looked at the Jujutsu Sorcerers in the room and greeted them, "I'll have to trouble you all this time."

"Uncle? You're here too?"

Upon seeing Shinsuke Zenin, Riko suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. She had been freeloading meals at his place just a few days ago, and now she was all wrapped up like a dumpling. It was quite humiliating.

"Tsk tsk, little Riko, you still need to train. It's only been a few days since I last saw you..."

Shinsuke Zenin shook his head as he looked at Riko's sorry state.

However, being able to beat Riko, who was already a Grade 1 Sorcerer, like this meant that the Special Grade Cursed Spirit wasn't entirely without skill.

"Ahem, Riko, let's hear the details of the situation."

Masamichi Yaga cleared his throat, getting to the main point of the meeting.

Riko glanced at everyone and nodded, "This mission took place in Shibuya. I encountered Curse Users... Geto Suguru. When I arrived at the scene, he was already fighting that Special Grade Cursed Spirit..."

Riko recounted her mission experience.

It had originally been a simple exorcism mission.

After exorcising a curse, she detected a powerful Cursed Energy fluctuation nearby. Thinking it was another Cursed Spirit acting up, she decided to deal with it as well.

To her surprise, she saw Geto Suguru fighting a Cursed Spirit.

Seeing that Geto Suguru couldn't take it down quickly, she judged that the Cursed Spirit's strength was at least Special Grade.

Thinking she was out to exorcise Cursed Spirits anyway, she planned to secretly gather her strength while Geto Suguru was entangled with it and deliver a fatal blow to the Cursed Spirit.

After all, she didn't want that Cursed Spirit to be taken in by Geto Suguru and contribute to his world destruction.

The outcome was predictable.

Before she could even finish gathering her strength, she was discovered by both the Cursed Spirit and Geto Suguru.

Then, the Cursed Spirit shifted its target and severely injured her. If Geto Suguru hadn't been there as well, she probably would have been finished.

"It could injure Riko like this? It seems it's not an ordinary Special Grade."

"Has that Cursed Spirit already been absorbed by Geto Suguru?"

Everyone inquired.

Riko shook her head. "No, it ran away. According to Geto Suguru, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary Special Grade, and its strength is growing by the moment."

"It won't be long before even he isn't confident he can defeat it."

"Geto Suguru values this Cursed Spirit highly, so it's likely to make another move soon."

The conference room fell silent.

Although Geto Suguru had become a Curse User, everyone knew his strength.

If even he couldn't defeat that Cursed Spirit, even with Riko being a hindrance, it was enough to prove the Cursed Spirit's power.

"Its strength grows by the moment?"

Shinsuke Zenin mused, Could it be a talent-based player like Mahito?

A Special Grade of this level should be able to provide me with quite a bit of Bloodline Power...

"The current problem is that we don't know the Cursed Spirit's location, nor do we know where Geto Suguru and it will fight next.

If it appears in a crowded area, it will cause immense panic and damage."

Masamichi Yaga stated the purpose of gathering so many teachers.

Geto Suguru currently wished for all non-sorcerers to die, so he certainly wouldn't care about the lives of ordinary people.

And the Cursed Spirit was even less likely to care.

"Right now, there's a high probability the Cursed Spirit is still in Shibuya. Therefore, your mission is to split into groups and search every part of Shibuya to find the Cursed Spirit and exorcise it."

"Gojo will be in a group by himself. Two Grade 1 Sorcerers will form a group. Once you find the Cursed Spirit's location, don't rush to attack. Report to everyone first."

Masamichi Yaga briefly explained the plan for the operation.

The summary is: find the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, focus fire to eliminate it, and minimize the scope of its influence.

Because this mission involved Geto Suguru, and there was a chance of entanglement with his forces, all available teachers were summoned.

"I'm heading over first, you guys take your time."

After giving his instructions, Satoru Gojo stood up and walked out. With a clap of his hands, he sent himself to a corner of Shibuya, eager to see Geto Suguru.

"Rude fellow, not even seeing a senior off."

Shinsuke Zenin also slowly stood up and walked outside.

For short distances, he might be faster than Satoru Gojo, but for long-distance teleportation like this, Satoru Gojo was much quicker.

He'd just take a leisurely ride there.

"I'm with Meimei!"

Utahime Iori ran to Meimei's side and grabbed her wrist.

Atsuya Kusakabe, the only one left, looked at Yaga, about to speak, but Yaga interrupted him, "I'm not participating in this mission."

"This...? Oh dear, Shinsuke-sensei! Wait for me!"

With no other choice, he had to team up with Shinsuke Zenin.

They didn't interact much usually. He looked handsome, but seemed a bit difficult to get along with.

Thinking too much was useless, Atsuya quickly followed Shinsuke Zenin's pace.

If he's difficult to get along with, then he'll just get along with him more.

As for the rest, Yaga had already dispatched many Grade 2 Sorcerers to Shibuya to assist them in completing this mission.

"Shinsuke-sensei, wait for me."

Atsuya finally caught up to Shinsuke Zenin, breathing heavily.

"Hm? Is there something, Kusakabe-sensei?"

Shinsuke Zenin looked at Atsuya with a puzzled expression.

He had some impression of this guy, who was apparently called the strongest Grade 1.

"Shinsuke-sensei, didn't you hear Principal Yaga just now? Grade 1 Sorcerers are in pairs, and you and I are a pair."

Atsuya emphasized Yaga's earlier arrangement.

"Oh, is that so? A pleasure to meet you."

Shinsuke Zenin realized and smiled, extending his hand to shake Atsuya's.

He had been so focused on how to seize the life-and-death power over the Cursed Spirit from so many people that he hadn't paid attention to what Yaga was saying.

His existence as a Special Grade was equivalent to a Grade 1 Sorcerer.

"Uh... Likewise, likewise!"

Atsuya was stunned by Shinsuke Zenin's reaction, then quickly extended his hand.

"Let's go, we should be heading out too."

"Ah, yes, yes, it's time to go." Atsuya replied.

It seems Shinsuke-sensei is quite easy to get along with, not as stern as he looks.

It's just... why do I feel a little nervous interacting with him?
