Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1221 - 890: Gojo Satoru’s Guarantee
"Yes, I’ve already discussed it with him, and I’ve let him join the Jujutsu High School as a first-year student in the world of sorcery."
Outside the hallway of a karaoke bar, Gojo Satoru leaned against the wall and picked up his phone again, explaining the recent events to the person on the other end.
"Just pass the message to those old folks up there, saying that I’ve recruited a Special Grade Sorcerer for them. How about that? Isn’t it exciting?"
Gojo’s flippant words seemed to make the person on the other end of the call pull out a handkerchief, wiping sweat continuously.
"Is... is this really okay?" the person asked shakily. "The background of this Special Grade Curse User hasn’t been fully investigated. Even if he didn’t show signs of using curses earlier, it’s still quite suspicious."
"We haven’t completely ruled out the possibility that he’s a Curse Master. Recruiting him into Jujutsu High School so casually, those at the top might not approve."
"So... shouldn’t we reconsider?"
This cautious suggestion only earned Gojo’s mocking laugh.
"What else do they want to do? Like when they dealt with Yuji and Yuta? Just sentence them to death directly?"
"Come on, Yuji is Ryomensukuna’s vessel, and Yuta unintentionally hurt others because of a curse back then. According to the rules of the sorcery world, even if I wasn’t happy about it, a secret execution could still be justified."
"But what about Reiger? What did he do? Just because he’s suspicious, they want to push away someone who could be considered Special Grade? If they’re that stupid, I’m actually pleased!"
Gojo’s blunt speech aimed at the high ranks of the sorcery world made the sweat flow faster for the person on the other end of the call.
"Alright, alright, just relay my message, everything else is up to me. I’ll take responsibility, just like I watched over Yuji and Yuta before, I’ll keep an eye on Reiger."
Gojo waved his hand dismissively, indicating his decision.
"...But wasn’t it true that when either Okkotsu or Itadori were in trouble, you weren’t there?"
The person on the other end quietly grumbled.
"Ha? What did you say?"
Gojo pouted, looking fierce.
"N-nothing!" the person on the other end laughed awkwardly, quickly changing the subject. "Why are you doing this, Mr. Gojo?"
At this point, the person on the other side was also quite puzzled.
The entire background of the Special Grade Curse User was too mysterious. Even though Gojo might be careless and laid-back usually, he shouldn’t be completely unguarded against someone so mysterious.
As he said, the other side was still very suspicious, and the possibility of being a Curse Master wasn’t off the table. Recruiting him directly into Jujutsu High School was indeed somewhat hasty.
Even if Gojo was skilled and brave, and knew the other could easily handle a Special Grade Curse Spirit, wasn’t he worried the person might cause trouble at Jujutsu High School?
It’s worth noting that unlike the high ranks Gojo disdained, Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College was his alma mater and main base, with many people he cared about. Risking their safety didn’t seem like something Gojo would do.
But he forgot about Gojo’s essence.
"Both Yuji and Yuta possessed dangerous powers, but precisely because of that, their futures might not harm us."
Gojo’s mouth curved slightly as if he were reminded of something.
"Hasn’t Yuta already proven it? He’s on our side now; if not, the number of Special Grade Sorcerers wouldn’t be four."
"Yuji is still uncertain, but I think there are things in him that even Ryomensukuna can’t control. Whether in the future he’ll revive Ryomensukuna as a vessel or Sukuna ends up training a powerful sorcerer for us, it’s still unclear."
"As for Reiger, if you had ’eyes’ like mine, you’d see just once that he’s the least likely to become a Curse Master. Even Curse Mages appear a bit too filthy in front of him."
At this point, Gojo’s smile faded, and his tone became somber.
"The current sorcery world is twisted by a bunch of unbelievably foolish old immortals, dirty everywhere, it’s frustrating to see."
"I could easily get rid of them, but that would just replace them with another batch. The corruption remains like stains on a wall, impossible to wash out."
"And if I directly cleanse the sins of this sorcery world, it might as well become nominally extinct."
"Therefore, I need strong allies who share my vision to fight alongside me."
"Even if I’m the strongest, I can’t change anything on my own."
These words led to silence from the person on the other end.
At this moment, Gojo’s tone became cheerful again.
"Of course, I also want to recruit a powerful student for Tokyo High, to make preparations for the exchange event in two months."
"In this exchange event, our top forces can’t compete, whether it’s Yuta from the second year or Kinji from the third year."
"On the other hand, Capital City’s Aoi is confirmed to participate; he’s not someone the current second years or first years can handle. I need to prepare a surprise for him."
"Hmm, most importantly, I want to see Principal Le Yan Temple cry. That old man definitely meddled in Yuji and the others’ mission this time. I have to make him regret it."
...Didn’t you say you respect the elderly and love the young?
The person on the other end was slightly speechless yet a bit surprised, saying, "Has it already been decided that first-year students will participate in this year’s exchange event?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it’s already been confirmed." Gojo Satoru cheerfully said, "So, I have to let the first-year and second-year students meet properly before that happens and train together, especially Reiger and Yuji. As long as they can learn to fight using curse energy, they’ll definitely surprise everyone."
"That’s how it is, so I’ll leave the reporting to you."
"Oh, by the way."
As if suddenly remembering something, Gojo Satoru took something out from his body.
It was a finger, a completely red finger.
"I’ve also gotten my hands on Ryomensukuna’s ’finger,’ you know? Our superstar Reiger Brillhaut contributed it out of friendship!"
Gojo Satoru tossed the red finger in his hand, saying this.
According to the person himself, this was a cursed object that appeared after the special-grade imaginary curse spirit at the juvenile detention center was extinguished. It must have been absorbed by that curse spirit, right? Is that why it’s special-grade?
Curse tools and cursed objects are similar yet different.
Curse tools refer to weapons inherently imbued with curses and curse energy, which can harm curse spirits without needing additional curse energy input. Some especially powerful curse tools also have unique functions, capable of achieving incredible effects.
Cursed objects, on the other hand, are objects carrying curse energy. Some are transformed from cursed entities, while others evolve from the corpses of Curse Mages.
Unlike curse tools, cursed objects are generally harmful. Some cursed objects even carry the souls of their original owners, allowing the owner to possibly resurrect under certain conditions thanks to the cursed object.
Ryomensukuna, whom Gojo Satoru mentioned, was an entity active a thousand years ago during the age of curses, bringing endless terror to the world of sorcery at the time.
After his death, the fingers of his corpse transformed into cursed objects, with each one rated as a special-grade cursed object, making them among the most dangerous cursed objects in the world of sorcery.
The reason the special-grade imaginary curse spirit at the juvenile detention center was special-grade right upon incubation was because it absorbed Ryomensukuna’s finger.
After slaying that special-grade curse spirit with one strike, Reiger also obtained this finger but casually threw it to Gojo Satoru.
There was no other reason, just because the finger was too disgusting. He even felt it was dirty to store in his dimension cube’s storage space.
Upon hearing that Gojo Satoru had obtained Ryomensukuna’s finger, the person on the other end of the phone immediately became cautious.
"You wouldn’t be planning to let Itadori swallow the finger, would you?" the other person quickly said. "Please don’t. We still haven’t figured out how many fingers Itadori Yuji can consume while maintaining his sense of self. We can’t just have him swallow the finger casually."
"If Sukuna truly resurrects, the more fingers he swallows, the stronger he becomes."
"Although you are very strong, the other side was considered the strongest entity a thousand years ago, and no one has dared claim they’ve surpassed him over the millennia. If you were to..."
Before the person on the other end could finish speaking, Gojo Satoru impatiently interrupted.
"Alright, alright, for now, I won’t give the finger to Yuji." Gojo Satoru said somewhat bored. "Even though I’m eager for him to swallow it, the exchange event is coming up, and Yuji needs to learn to use curse energy. Increasing Sukuna’s power before this might affect Yuji’s training plan."
"So, at least until the exchange event ends, I won’t let Yuji swallow the finger."
"Hmm, as for the future, who knows."
That remark only made people feel even more uneasy!
It seems necessary to remind those at the Curse Mage school to retrieve the finger from Gojo’s hands.
While the person on the other end was making such a resolution, Gojo Satoru put away the finger.
"That’s it, I’m hanging up."
"Please talk some sense into the old folks over there."
"Bye-bye~~~┏(＾0＾)┛"
Leaving such nonchalant remarks that made people want to curse him, Gojo Satoru hung up the phone, leaned against the wall, folded his arms, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Things are getting more and more interesting. I really hope Yuta can come back soon. When he, Reiger, and Yuji all get together, it’ll definitely be more entertaining, right?"
"So, no time to waste, let’s get started."
"First things first, contact the second years!"
Saying this, Gojo Satoru started dialing the phone again, making new contacts.
Meanwhile, Reiger and his two companions were still sitting in the KTV private room, wearing pained expressions on their faces.
"Yeehaw! I’m such a big star!"
Kugisaki Nobara had become the karaoke queen of the room, shouting excitedly, singing a horribly off-key song, causing Reiger, Itadori Yuji, and Fushiguro Megumi’s faces to twist.
"...I kind of regret it now." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Thinking about having to be in the same grade as these guys, Reiger felt his future was bleak.
Oh well, just endure it.
At least, sorcery is still quite interesting.
