Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1280 - 926: Another Gojo Satoru?

The person standing atop the mountain can look down on all things below, and Gojo Satoru can look down on the people atop the mountain, looking down on everything under the sky.

Heaven above, earth below, I alone am supreme!

This is the strongest curse mage of the contemporary era, Gojo Satoru.

Therefore, the monk fears no one but Gojo Satoru.

More than half of the plan he devised is aimed at Gojo Satoru.

As long as he can eliminate the unmatched threat that is Gojo Satoru, to the monk, his plan would be half-successful.

In his eyes, once the plan is implemented, he has only two enemies.

One is Gojo Satoru.

The other is everyone else besides Gojo Satoru.

That’s right!

Except for Gojo Satoru, no one else even deserves a name, and only when added together are they worthy of his attention!

This is the same even for other special-grade curse mages, including Okkotsu Yuta!

However, another threat comparable to Gojo Satoru has now emerged, causing the monk to feel heavy-hearted.

"So, should we change the plan?"

Although Mahito could not quite understand the monk’s current feelings, he inquired.

"...No, the plan proceeds as usual."

The monk thought for a moment and finally decided.

"Gojo Satoru must be sealed, and he remains our primary target."

At least, he has a sufficiently thorough understanding of Gojo Satoru and can devise a plan perfectly aimed at him, leading him into a trap to be sealed by them.

Reiger is different.

He is also a massive threat, but firstly, the monk does not know him well enough to devise a perfect countermeasure. Secondly, they do not have the strength to make another Gojo Satoru-level figure fall into a trap.

Therefore, proceeding as usual is the best approach.

At the very least, they can eliminate one of the threats.

As for Reiger...

"Leave it to the Curse King." The monk said, "Only he can kick someone standing atop the sky down."

After saying this, the monk then turned his gaze towards Mahito.

"How are things on your side? Is the operation going smoothly?"

Upon hearing this, Mahito smiled happily.

"Yes, everything is going smoothly; I’ve already got everything in hand."

Mahito displayed the items he was holding.

"In that case, let’s withdraw." The monk said without hesitation, "Once Gojo Satoru realizes that [Curtain] was merely a distraction, we might be discovered."

By that time, it may be impossible to leave.

"Alright." Mahito shrugged and said, "Are you really okay?"

This action carries a significant risk for the monk.

His technique is too recognizable; after this event, the people from the curse school will surely suspect that the surge of curse spirits was his doing.

If his presence is exposed, it will greatly affect the situation with Gojo Satoru, as well as subsequent plans.

He must not be exposed now.

"No problem." The monk seemed to have anticipated this, smiled slightly, and said, "After summoning the curse spirits, I released the [Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique]. Bringing in those Curse Masters makes it difficult for the curse school to detect the ’remnants’ I left behind."

"Moreover, Itadori Yuji must have reported your matters, and the curse school is now aware of the high-intellect curse spirits."

"As for ’me’, I already died in last year’s Night Parade of a Hundred Demons at the hands of Gojo Satoru himself."

"In this way, they will only suspect that this incident was orchestrated by you, the highly intelligent curse spirits leading other curse spirits to attack the curse school, making a big spectacle to seize those items."

The monk pointed at the items in Mahito’s hand, then leisurely left.

"What a thorough plan."

Mahito also smiled, glanced towards the forest, and licked his lips.

"The Curse King, I’d really like to see his true revival."

"It’s just a pity I can’t kill you by my own hand."

"Itadori Yuji."

Leaving these words, Mahito turned and departed.

Nobody knows, the next time they appear, the world of sorcery will experience an unprecedented upheaval.

...

The Kyoto Sister School Exchange Meeting was ultimately forced to be suspended.

Due to this sudden attack, the exchange meeting could no longer proceed.

Even though Reiger dealt with the most powerful special-grade curse spirit and Gojo Satoru forcibly broke the [Curtain] that shrouded the forest, thousands of curse spirits invaded the curse school, and the aftermath required arduous efforts before everything was thoroughly settled.

At the very least, the remaining curse spirits still wandering in the forest needed to be completely exorcised. If they escaped, it would certainly cause significant problems.

Thus, after the [Curtain] was broken and the strongest special-grade curse spirit was dealt with, everyone who came to aid the curse school embarked on a massive purge of the remaining curse spirits in the forest.

The students participating in the exchange meeting were conscripted as well. After a simple verification to confirm they were unharmed, the curse school decisively added them to their combat strength for this large-scale curse spirit cleansing.

Under such circumstances, the exchange meeting could not possibly continue.

Therefore, after discussions between the principals Yaga Masamichi and Gakuganji Yoshinobu of the two schools, this year’s exchange meeting ends here, to resume in Tokyo next year according to tradition.

In other words, from this moment on, the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Meeting is considered finished.

Many people are unhappy about this.

For example, Zenin Mai, Nishimiya Momo, and Mechamaru, who wanted revenge after being defeated by Itadori Yuji.

And also, Kugisaki Nobara and Zenin Maki, who are frustrated that their months of special training were almost wasted as they didn’t get to showcase their skills.

Even Todo Aoi felt unsatisfied, seemingly wanting to continue the battle.

Only Fushiguro Megumi, Panda, Inumaki Toge, Kamo Noritoshi, and others accepted this decision, especially Kamo Noritoshi, whose gaze became much more complicated when looking at Reiger.

Perhaps only Miwa Kasumi felt relieved?

Not having to fight anymore was a great relief.

She didn’t want to face Reiger again, as it would drain her of her courage to even lift her sword.

As for Reiger, he was quite indifferent about it all.

After all, he had already learned the somewhat valuable curse techniques, like [Red Blood Manipulation] and [Unfair Game], and had seen interesting things like [Simple Domain]. He had also reviewed the techniques of others, which were not useful to him.

In that case, it didn’t matter to him whether the exchange continued or not.

It’s worth noting that when Gakuganji Yoshinobu saw Reiger and Itadori Yuji coming out of the forest, his expression was grim.

Itadori Yuji survived, meaning one of his objectives failed.

While the aim to probe Reiger brought some results from Kamo Noritoshi, they weren’t what he wanted, making his gaze at Reiger equally profound.

In his view, Reiger’s power and mindset were too dangerous; even if Reiger expressed no particular intentions, as the leader of the conservative faction, he still felt uneasy.

Regrettably, at this point, Gakuganji Yoshinobu couldn’t do much, and could only start dealing with the curse spirit situation.

After Reiger’s [Azure] and [Piercing] swept through, many curse spirits in the forest had perished, but handling the remainder would still take a long time.

At this time, Reiger did not interfere further.

Because, he was summoned by Yaga Masamichi.

...

Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College, Principal’s Office.

As night fell, Reiger, walking alone through the corridors of the school building, arrived here and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Yaga Masamichi’s voice emitted from inside the room.

Unfazed, Reiger pushed open the door and entered the principal’s office.

Upon entering, he immediately noticed that it wasn’t just Yaga Masamichi present.

Besides Yaga Masamichi, Gojo Satoru was also there, along with Gakuganji Yoshinobu and Iori Utahime.

In total, four sets of eyes all converged on Reiger.

Their gazes, varied.
