Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1259 - 916: Completely Different Objectives (Part 2)
Plus Kamo Noritoshi, a Grade 1 sorcerer, and the young master of one of the three great sorcerer families, the Kamo family. Apart from Reiger, nobody else on this side can guarantee a victory over him, including Inumaki Toge, who’s also a Grade 1.
There’s no helping it. A Curse Master is powerful, but the opponent is from the three great families and might have inherited the Kamo family’s hereditary sorcery. If that sorcery is on par with the unconditional [Limitless Cursed Technique] and the Zenin family’s [Ten Shadows Technique], then [Curse] might not have any advantage.
As for the other students from the Tokyo Academy, we aren’t too sure of their strength, but we can’t rule out that there may be experts among them.
"In other words, it’s best if we move together to avoid being picked off one by one by the enemy?" Itadori Yuji sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "But doing so would greatly reduce the efficiency of exorcising curse spirits, wouldn’t it?"
Moving together is undoubtedly slower than moving separately.
Since we need to find and exorcise curse spirits, the more people split up, the higher the efficiency.
But if we consider avoiding being defeated one by one, we have no choice but to work together.
In summary...
"Let’s split into three groups."
Zenin Maki proposed.
"My suggestion is, aside from Reiger, the rest should form two teams of three, while Reiger goes alone, forming a total of three teams to act separately."
Three is the number Zenin Maki considers the safest for a single group.
If there are three people, even if they encounter Todo Aoi, they can at least escape unharmed if they can’t win, avoiding isolation.
But with only two people, that’s uncertain.
If their opponent is Todo Aoi, who can exorcise a special-grade curse spirit and five grade 1 curse spirits alone, even two people teaming up might not survive against him.
So, except for Reiger, the others should group in threes to ensure safety.
As for Reiger...
Despite being alone, who would doubt his ability to handle Todo Aoi or Kamo Noritoshi?
Moreover, acting alone, he might draw the attention of Todo Aoi and others.
Zenin Maki thinks it’s likely that Todo Aoi, with his personality, might charge over here to settle old scores, disregarding the competition.
If that’s the case, it’s actually for the best.
"Monsters should deal with monsters; we should focus on exorcising curse spirits."
Zenin Maki turned to Reiger, who had been quiet all along, and asked.
"No problem, right? Reiger?"
Upon hearing this, Reiger finally shifted his gaze over.
"I don’t mind."
He responded with a faint smile.
He truly didn’t mind.
Winning or losing the exchange event didn’t concern him in the least.
Reiger’s real goal was to witness the techniques of the people at the Capital City Academy to see if there was anything worth learning.
"Todo Aoi and Kamo Noritoshi, their techniques should be of some value, right?"
Reiger was particularly interested in this.
Kamo Noritoshi, being from the Kamo family, one of the three great families, would naturally inherit their ancestral arts. If he, like Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Megumi, inherited the family’s hereditary technique, Reiger would anticipate surprises from him.
As the only Grade 1 sorcerer among the two academies’ three classes, Todo Aoi could exorcise a special-grade curse spirit and five grade 1 curse spirits alone. He must possess some valuable techniques.
Others might also offer some surprises, allowing him to acquire some precious spells.
Therefore, even if Zenin Maki hadn’t suggested it, Reiger planned to act alone.
He didn’t intend to exorcise curse spirits.
If possible, he’d prefer to charge straight at the opponent’s base, just like Todo Aoi.
Of those present, probably only Fushiguro Megumi and Zenin Maki noticed Reiger’s intention.
But neither had plans to oppose or stop him.
If Reiger could single-handedly draw all the enemy’s firepower, they could focus on exorcising curse spirits.
In that case, Tokyo Academy’s victory would be inevitable.
"Then let’s settle on this."
Zenin Maki made the decision and immediately assigned the teams.
"I, Megumi, and Nobara will form one group, and after entering, we’ll head east."
"Yuji, Panda, and Toge, you three will form another group, and after entering, you’ll head west."
"Reiger, feel free to go where you want, and if possible, help us deal with a few opponents."
"No objections, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads.
Thus, Tokyo Academy’s action plan was determined.
Unbeknownst to them, a small mechanical device on the ceiling disappeared without a trace.
Unbeknownst to that disappearing device, Reiger glanced at it unobtrusively, then smirked and withdrew his gaze.
And so, Tokyo Academy awaited the arrival of noon in silence.
...
"So, Reiger Brillhaut and Itadori Yuji will act separately, and the former will still be on his own, right?"
In the Capital City’s conference room, Kamo Noritoshi was confirming this with the Mechanical Maru beside him.
At this time, Gakuganji Yoshinobu had already left, leaving only the six students of the Capital City Academy remaining there.
"That’s correct." Mechanical Maru extended his hand, revealing a small device like a monitor in the palm, saying, "They’ll split into three groups. Itadori Yuji will act with the mutated Curse Corpse and Curse Master, heading west after entering. Reiger Brillhaut will act alone; his task is to draw our attention and rely on his formidable strength to deal with us."
