Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1263 - 918: So What If I Become Your Enemy?

"Hmm?"

As the atmosphere around them changed, Reiger suddenly squinted his eyes, giving Kamo Noritoshi a deep look.

Feeling Reiger’s gaze, Kamo Noritoshi’s heart tightened slightly, and the hand hidden in his wide sleeve clenched.

If someone could see Kamo Noritoshi’s hand hidden in his sleeve at that moment, they’d find he’s holding an item.

It’s a bell-like object, with faint curse power flowing within.

Clearly, this is a cursed tool.

Also, the power of this cursed tool has already been activated by Kamo Noritoshi.

This isn’t Kamo Noritoshi’s cursed tool; Gakuganji Yoshinobu gave it to him.

With this cursed tool, this conversation would have meaning.

Thinking of this, Kamo Noritoshi calmed himself.

"Brilliant." Kamo Noritoshi stared at Reiger and said, "I’m curious, are you truly our ally, or did you come to the sorcery academy for another reason?"

With Kamo Noritoshi’s inquiry, the surrounding atmosphere became even stranger.

Reiger seemed oblivious to the change, gazing at Kamo Noritoshi with a half-smile.

"So, even the eldest son of the Kamo Family is curious about my origins, just like everyone else?"

Reiger didn’t answer Kamo Noritoshi’s question immediately but said this instead.

"Because you’re too mysterious." Kamo Noritoshi said unfazed, "You possess great power yet only recently began exploring sorcery. Once you did, you instantly displayed amazing talent and potential, transforming into someone no one can ignore."

"Whether it’s the Gojo Family’s [Limitless Sorcery] or the Zenin Family’s [Ten Shadow Techniques], these are powers that ordinary curse masters simply cannot wield. Even your school’s second-year special-grade curse master, Okkotsu Yuta, famous for his ability to unconditionally mimic all techniques, can’t replicate [Limitless Sorcery] without the Six Eyes, let alone successfully subjugate the final Shikigami of [Ten Shadow Techniques]."

"Yet you did it, achieving what even Gojo Satoru couldn’t without inheriting any noble lineage, solely relying on your own abilities." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"And for someone like you, we don’t even know if you’re an enemy or a friend."

Kamo Noritoshi continued, not merely probing but infusing his feelings into his speech.

He’s also a curse master from one of the three great families in the world of sorcery, carrying noble blood, inheriting Kamo Family’s most prized innate technique, well aware of how the upper echelon perceives Reiger and what concerns they harbor.

"Do you know how many are watching your every move, and how many seek to understand what impact you’ll have on this world of sorcery?"

Kamo Noritoshi spoke with the solemnity of a true priest.

"A figure like Gojo Satoru alone has already brought undeniable change to the world of sorcery, and now a suddenly more exaggerated character has appeared whose every aspect is so mysterious, it’s truly impossible not to ponder deeply."

"The world of sorcery has existed for ages, and the current order has endured for a long time too."

"We are desperate to know, will you become a disruptor of the order? Do you understand?"

These righteous words from Kamo Noritoshi were met with Reiger’s deep gaze.

In such circumstances, Reiger still didn’t answer Kamo Noritoshi’s question immediately but asked a question as Kamo Noritoshi frowned.

"Since you’ve said so much, let me ask you then." Reiger said calmly, "What do you think of the world of sorcery now?"

"...Existence is reason." Kamo Noritoshi was silent for a moment before responding, "No matter how many flaws there are within the current world of sorcery, at least it’s stable, maintaining the necessary order for society to exist."

"Is that so?" Reiger seemed surprised by Kamo Noritoshi’s response, slightly raising an eyebrow and smiling, "Such a conservative view, befitting the eldest son of an ancient family."

"However, you’re not wrong either."

"No matter what, this society has continued because of the world of sorcery; otherwise, humans would have long been exterminated by curse spirits or curse masters."

Reiger never denied this point.

It’s not just him; even Gojo Satoru never denied this point.

If not for the three great families leading curse master families actively combating curse spirits and curse masters at the forefront, human society would have descended into chaos.

Because of the clear understanding that human society cannot yet lose the shelter of the world of sorcery, Gojo Satoru refrained from unleashing his great strength to slaughter, executing all the corrupt high officials.

That would only lead to the collapse of the world of sorcery, plunging human society into unimaginable turmoil.

Considering this, Gojo Satoru was forced to introduce more forces, variables, and changes, gathering like-minded individuals around him increasingly until he could one day influence the entire world of sorcery, steering it towards a brighter future.

But...

"With the passage of increasingly lengthy time, how many are continuing the work of the curse master solely for the balance of the world of sorcery and the order of society now?"

Reiger threw this statement at Kamo Noritoshi.
