Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1224 - 893: What If I Say Yes?

"————"

Silence.

The silence of death.

In the chapel, where nearly ten curse mages suddenly appeared, aside from the flames of curse energy rising like fire, there was no other movement.

Yet even such intense cursed energy was nothing compared to the energy surging from Reiger, who was suddenly restrained, akin to a small flame encountering a volcanic eruption, vastly inferior in comparison.

Only the cursed energy emanating from Gojo Satoru barely managed to contend with Reiger’s, but just barely.

The fact that the contemporary strongest curse mage’s energy pales in comparison to Reiger’s!

This realization kept these newly arrived curse mages silent, and their hearts were filled with immense shock.

Yet, it was precisely because of this astonishing cursed energy that they were alerted, not daring to overthink anything, they immediately acted to restrain the source of this astounding energy.

In this situation, Reiger seemed to just wake up, looking at the suddenly appearing numerous curse mages, raised an eyebrow, and retracted his cursed energy.

Only then did the astonishing cursed energy gradually dissipate, allowing the heavily burdened curse mages to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Gojo Satoru was the same, maintaining his grip on Reiger’s shoulder and arm, speaking with a tone of lingering fear.

"Thank God, I almost thought my alma mater’s school building was done for."

Hearing this, Reiger turned his head to look at Gojo Satoru.

With one look, Reiger was instantly captivated by Gojo Satoru’s eyes.

He saw, with the blindfold removed, a pair of sky-blue eyes appeared in Gojo Satoru’s eye sockets.

Those sky-blue eyes resembled gems, with white mist swirling inside, looking more like expertly crafted glass beads than an ordinary living organ.

This is...

"Six Eyes."

This is a unique trait inherited only within Gojo Satoru’s curse mage family, appearing once every few centuries, granting special abilities in the form of these eyes.

Those who possess these eyes are usually outstanding individuals in their era, providing 360-degree unobstructed vision, and the ability to discern mages, see through techniques, track and predict the path of curse energy, allowing for precise manipulation of the energy, remaining unaffected and unimpeded even in low visibility conditions.

Thus, Gojo Satoru, even while wearing a blindfold, can clearly see through its obstruction, with his vision unhindered.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru removed his blindfold, revealing these rare and special eyes that appear once every few centuries.

Despite the presence of nearly ten curse mages acting in unison to restrain Reiger, in reality, with Reiger’s own strength and the massive cursed energy he just erupted with, even twice as many mages would struggle to control him.

But because Gojo Satoru took action, Reiger’s movements were restrained.

The hand that pressed his shoulder precisely blocked the flow of the cursed energy at that time.

The hand pressing his arm precisely intercepted the outburst of energy about to erupt.

With the Six Eyes, Gojo Satoru saw through the flow of cursed energy within Reiger, and with precise control over his own energy, was able to accomplish such a feat.

If it wasn’t for him, the surrounding curse mages, even if they were all twice as strong, wouldn’t be able to restrain Reiger in that state.

"...It’s fine here now, you can go back."

Perhaps understanding this fact, the first person that appeared, muscular and with a rough voice, released the curse corpse he held down and spoke deeply.

The surrounding curse mages, upon hearing this, took a deep look at Reiger, and subsequently withdrew one after another.

"Gojo!"

The muscular man growled at Gojo Satoru, prompting him to raise his hand.

"Don’t look at me like that, it’s not me who made him do it!"

Gojo Satoru’s defense was met with the muscular man’s angry iron fist.

"I was talking about your premature release of the curse corpse!"

Facing the muscular man’s rebuke and the affectionate iron fist, Gojo Satoru nearly dodged away with a whistling attitude.

"But you’re the one who wanted to test him, shouldn’t you bear the full responsibility?"

Gojo Satoru’s shameless remark made the muscular man’s veins pop.

Unable to do anything about this rogue, the muscular man could only force himself to shift his attention to Reiger.

"I am Yaga Masamichi, the principal of the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College."

The man, wearing sunglasses and with slicked back hair, bore a fierce expression, making even a self-introduction seem like the leader of a gang, rather than the head of a school.

"By the way, he was also my homeroom teacher during my school days, and that curse corpse was created by him too?"

Gojo Satoru added fuel to the fire without a care, a blindfold back on his face.

Reiger, of course, knew Yaga Masamichi, the principal of the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

The person known for his exceptional skill in creating curse corpses, even crafting those with life and intelligence, was the muscular figure appearing as a gang leader in front of him.

"Reiger Brillhaut."

Reiger reported his name anyhow.

"Special Grade Curse Involvement, Reiger Brillhaut," Yaga Masamichi stared directly at him and said, "Tell me, who are you?"

Very straightforward!

Very decisive!

Very assertive!

Very quick!

The principal of the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical College laid out everyone’s concerns, which nobody dared to ask outright, directly on the table.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn’t this deliberately stepping on a landmine?"

Gojo Satoru commented from the side, but was immediately choked by Yaga Masamichi.

"Shut up! Gojo!" Yaga Masamichi spoke with the fury of someone disappointed: "Unlike you, I don’t throw caution to the wind and recruit someone so unstable into the school!"

"That time with Itadori Yuji could be excused since after all, he is not Ryomensukuna."

"As for Okkotsu Yuta, we could afford to indulge you then because there was indeed a chance he would stand with us."

"But this person is too mysterious and suspicious! I can’t let you run wild! Do you understand?"

"I have to be responsible for all the students of Jujutsu High. Do you get it, Gojo?"

It’s clear that Yaga Masamichi has endured Gojo Satoru for a long time. His arm clamped around Gojo’s throat so tightly that veins appeared, causing Gojo’s face to turn blue, as he repeatedly slapped Yaga Masamichi’s hand, much like a weakling tapping out on a wrestling ring.

Ignoring Gojo’s surrender, Yaga Masamichi turned to face Reiger.

"This irresponsible guy indeed recommended you to join Jujutsu High, but I haven’t given final approval and can still reject this decision."

"Special Grade Curse Involvement, Reiger Brillhaut, confess everything to me."

"Your identity, your background, and your reasons for becoming a Curse Mage!"

As these heavy words fell, the scene returned to silence.

Reiger looked at Yaga Masamichi.

Yaga Masamichi looked back at Reiger.

Then...

"It’s not that I can’t speak about my identity and background, but since you’re so adamant, and I dislike being scrutinized, let’s just cut to the chase."

Reiger spoke calmly.

"I’m not adamant about joining Jujutsu High; it’s just that Gojo is willing to teach me jujutsu, and I wanted a stage to approach the world of sorcery, so I agreed to go along with it."

Yaga Masamichi understood the implications of these words.

"You mean, as long as someone teaches you jujutsu, you’d accept joining any side, even becoming a Curse Master?"

Yaga Masamichi questioned bluntly.

Honestly, being interrogated by someone who looks like a gangster boss can indeed scare the timid.

Unfortunately, Reiger is not among them.

Not only is he not intimidated, but he also replied with a half-smile.

"What if I say yes?"

The statement plunged Yaga Masamichi into silence.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru stopped causing a fuss, somehow moving to the side, arms crossed and smiling, looking completely indifferent to the conversation between Reiger and Yaga Masamichi.

Even as the signs of their negotiation breaking down appeared, Gojo continued watching with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

He indeed did not worry.

No one understands better than him that Yaga Masamichi, though seemingly rough, is actually meticulous.

... Someone whose mind isn’t intricate wouldn’t be able to sew dolls with needle and thread every day, right?

Therefore, Gojo knew clearly that despite Yaga Masamichi’s appearance of wanting to break ties with Reiger, he was actually using this interaction to test him.

As for not allowing Reiger to join Jujutsu High?

That’s purely rubbish!

After all, this is a Special Grade Curse Involvement capable of easily exorcising Special Grade hypothetical curse spirits. If he were allowed to roam freely outside, not just Yaga Masamichi, but the ancient figures of the jujutsu world wouldn’t feel at ease.

"Precisely because his background is mysterious and quite suspect, he should be kept under watch."

Gojo used this very reasoning to persuade Yaga Masamichi and the ancient figures of the jujutsu world.

Otherwise, how could Reiger have gotten the chance to enter the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical College and be tested by Yaga Masamichi?

He’d have been denied access at the barrier gate of Jujutsu High long ago!

After all, however you look at it, this is the strategic ground of the jujutsu world. If he were truly not allowed to join, why let him inside?

As expected...

"I’ll be watching you," Yaga Masamichi said solemnly: "I hope you don’t go astray on the path of jujutsu and become a curse that needs to be exorcised."

After speaking, Yaga Masamichi picked up the Curse Corpse from the ground and addressed Gojo.

"Get his uniform, the student ID is ready, help him claim it."

Leaving these words behind, Yaga Masamichi turned and walked away.

"Congratulations, Reiger."

Gojo immediately began clapping for Reiger.

"Congratulations on becoming a new first-year student at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical College! How truly delightful and worthy of celebration!"

Hearing this, Reiger didn’t wish to speak with Gojo at all.

"One plays good cop, the other bad cop, eh."

"The same old routine, seriously..."
