After Suguru Geto and his entourage left, the atmosphere at Jujutsu High grew rather strange.
Jujutsu sorcerers were few and far between. Even as students, they were bound to get swept up in this maelstrom.
Still, meetings among the higher-ups were no more efficient than meetings anywhere else: tedious and interminable. Until the higher-ups finished their bickering, the students' other important missions were put on hold, leaving them on standby at school.
