Aside from them, every sorcerer Jujutsu High had sent in encountered an overwhelming number of cursed spirits.
Faced with a tide of cursed spirits powerful in both quality and quantity, teams with only a handful of people were completely unable to cope.
Teams led by veteran Grade 1 sorcerers could still barely hold out for a while.
But teams led by sorcerers who were not as strong collapsed the instant they encountered special-grade cursed spirits.
Casualties soon began to appear.
"Help! Help!"
Many sorcerers who had taken part in the Shibuya battle in the original story but had never appeared on-screen were desperately fleeing outward.
"Weren't we only supposed to deal with the small fry Satoru Gojo missed?"
"This 'small fry' seems a little too numerous, doesn't it?"
"And did the higher-ups seriously classify special grades as small fry too?"
"How are we supposed to beat monsters like this?!"
"Where are the special-grade sorcerers? Aren't there any special grades?"
The team he was in was led by a teacher who had only recently been promoted to Grade 1.
At first, when they encountered cursed spirits that were not particularly strong, they could still barely hold on for a while.
But as they fought, a heart-palpitating presence suddenly appeared. By the time he came to his senses, the Grade 1 sorcerer leading them had been reduced to nothing but a pool of blood.
Without a Grade 1 sorcerer to lead them, Grade 2 sorcerers like them—and even those who had only just been promoted to Grade 3—were naturally no match for those cursed spirits.
Their defensive line collapsed in an instant.
Fortunately, he was fast enough. Only by using several of his teammates as human shields did he manage to put some distance between himself and the tide of cursed spirits.
