Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1296 - 934: Can We Switch?

"You’ve really worked hard."

The sincere and sympathetic comfort in the words almost brought Kiyotaka Ijichi to tears.

To think there was someone who understood how difficult and challenging it was to assist that person... what a good kid!

Nishizawa often complimented this child, saying they were incredibly reliable, not only extremely capable, comparable to Gojo Satoru, but never causing trouble, always obedient and never questioning the arrangements of the support supervisors. They completed tasks perfectly, solving over a hundred Cursed incidents in just one month, significantly boosting Shinseki Kikyo’s performance.

So... can we switch?

I’d love to support such a good kid too!

Unaware of Kiyotaka Ijichi’s grievances, Reiger was already looking at the last individual in the group of four, a sophisticated-looking man.

"Nanami sensei is here too."

Reiger nodded at him.

"...Long time no see."

The man adjusted his glasses and nodded back at Reiger.

His name was Nanami Kento, and he had met Reiger on a few occasions.

Previously, while Reiger was training with Gojo Satoru, it was Nanami who accepted Gojo’s request to teach Itadori Yuji at Jujutsu High, guiding him in refining and using cursed energy.

He was a junior to Gojo Satoru by only one year. When Gojo was in his second year with Geto Suguru at Jujutsu High, Nanami enrolled as a first-year student.

In other words, Nanami Kento was a junior to two Special Grade Sorcerers, with considerable talent and currently a Grade 1 Sorcerer. He was a prominent figure in the world of sorcery. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

It’s noteworthy that one of the first four Jujutsu techniques Reiger mastered was learned from Nanami Kento.

At the time, he had only learned [Limitless Curse Technique], [Ten Shadow Techniques], [Straw Doll Technique], and [Ten-stroke Curse Technique].

[Limitless Curse Technique] was learned from Gojo Satoru.

[Ten Shadow Techniques] was learned from Fushiguro Megumi.

[Straw Doll Technique] was learned from Kugisaki Nobara.

And [Ten-stroke Curse Technique] was learned from Nanami Kento.

It was a very practical technique, allowing the division of a target’s length into equal parts, forcibly creating a weak point at the 7:3 ratio point. If this point was hit, it could cause excessive damage.

Even against stronger enemies, this technique could inflict a certain degree of damage.

If Reiger had this technique during the Fairy Country in the Britain Lostbelt, Woodworth’s burial grass would definitely be taller than it is now.

This technique could also be applied to non-living objects.

With this technique, Reiger would probably never face an opponent he couldn’t break through again, and nothing he couldn’t destroy.

Thus, Reiger placed a certain degree of importance on the [Ten-stroke Curse Technique]. Although not developed further, it was not left unused, frequently employed throughout the month.

It might not be very powerful, yet as mentioned, it was very practical, perfectly fitting into Reiger’s close combat system.

Nanami Kento, master of this technique, was a top-notch Grade 1 Sorcerer, even Todo Aoi might not be able to outmatch him.

Reiger once saw him in action while training with Gojo Satoru.

Yes, that was when he was beating up Itadori Yuji.

It could be called, love’s education.

As a result, Reiger learned the [Ten-stroke Curse Technique] and became somewhat familiar with Nanami Kento.

"So, Nanami sensei was summoned too?"

Reiger spoke calmly.

"No choice." Nanami Kento replied just as calmly and steadily: "The situation is urgent. It’s not just me, all sorcerers without particularly important work have been summoned. We are only one group; there are many colleagues in other directions."

"I see." Reiger nodded, turning to Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi, saying, "Nobara isn’t here because of this?"

"Yes." Fushiguro Megumi answered Reiger’s question, saying, "She, along with Zenin-senpai and Panda, are in other directions."

"This time, not just Jujutsu High, even the major sorcerer families have sent people." Kiyotaka Ijichi took over, saying, "This is a super-large Jujutsu incident involving the entire Shibuya, and Gojo sensei is suspected to have appeared here, but remains missing, making it all the more concerning."

"The reappearance of thousands of curse spirits and the sudden rise of a barrier, all indicate that this incident might not be a small skirmish as before."

"The enemy might truly reveal themselves this time, and our task is to exorcise those four Special Grade Curse Spirits at any cost and find Gojo sensei."

In fact, they had another task, which was to confirm whether Geto Suguru was alive or dead.

The previously observed supergravity and the suddenly summoned thousands of curse spirits not only suggested that Gojo Satoru could be here, but also that their enemy might include the fearsome Special Grade Curse Caster who once orchestrated a Parade of a Hundred Demons—Geto Suguru.

After all, this time, unlike at Jujutsu High before, the opponent didn’t relinquish control over curse spirits. With Jujutsu High’s familiarity with [Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique], they easily detected Geto Suguru’s presence through cursed remains.

Considering Gojo Satoru’s strange behavior over the past month, one might grasp some understanding.

Of course, this matter wasn’t important at the moment.

The priority was to ascertain the current situation.

"How long have you been over here?" Reiger asked bluntly: "What about the people here?"

Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, and Nanami Kento fell silent simultaneously.

"Let me explain." Kiyotaka Ijichi smiled bitterly, stepping forward to explain to Reiger.

"Based on intelligence from the ’windows,’ we’ve roughly reconstructed part of the proceedings of the incident."

"Not long after the supergravity and emergence of thousands of curse spirits, Shibuya was surrounded by a barrier."

"Gojo sensei seemed to be engaged in combat at the time, causing a big commotion and leading to mass panic among Shibuya’s citizens."

"However, the barrier seemed to inhibit regular citizens from leaving; it doesn’t restrict sorcerers. Outsiders can enter freely but cannot leave."

"Thus, over 200,000 people are trapped in Shibuya, cut off from communication with the outside world."

When the barrier rose, it also had an effect of blocking signal transmission.

Thanks to this, when the barrier appeared, the trapped civilians lost contact with the outside world. Although sorcerers weren’t restricted, unless they exited the barrier, they couldn’t contact the outside either.

"Subsequently, Shibuya’s populace collectively went missing, with reports that they were sucked into that area and were trapped again."

Kiyotaka Ijichi pointed toward the layer of the barrier ahead.

"Within the barrier enveloping Shibuya, another barrier appeared. That barrier is stronger than the first and is meant to obstruct sorcerers."

Kiyotaka Ijichi took out a handkerchief, wiping his sweat as he spoke.

"A group of sorcerers who arrived in Shibuya beforehand attempted to cross or destroy that barrier but failed."

"In fact, some sorcerers were attacked by curse masters, with some dying on the spot and others missing."

Hearing this, Reiger raised an eyebrow.

"Curse masters?"

Even curse masters had shown up?

"Yes."

Kiyotaka Ijichi replied with a serious face.

"The enemy seems to have formed an alliance with curse masters, and there are quite a few of them."
