Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1297 - 935: Perfect, I’ll Use It to Test My Blade
A month ago, in the sorcery high school, three curse masters suddenly appeared and attacked Reiger.
But that time, the curse masters came to the sorcery high school because of a bounty, targeting Reiger.
This time, however, is somewhat different.
This time, curse masters also appeared, but they did not seem to come for any bounty. Instead, they formed an alliance with the curse spirit faction led by the suspected Geto Suguru, which is how they ended up here.
They took advantage of the sorcerers’ attention being drawn by the [barrier], launching a surprise attack, severely injuring or even killing many sorcerers.
This is one of the reasons why the sorcery high school and the major sorcerer families have come out in full force this time.
"During last year’s parade of a hundred demons event, the special-grade curse master Geto Suguru also gathered a group of curse masters and took action during the event."
Kiyotaka Ijichi told Reiger this.
"Now, with curse masters appearing again, the higher-ups suspect that Geto Suguru is not only still alive but has also been secretly developing connections within the curse master industry, recruiting many curse masters and having them collaborate with highly intelligent curse spirits."
"Currently, multiple factions exist simultaneously within Shibuya."
"The curse master faction led by Geto Suguru."
"The faction of highly intelligent curse spirits."
"And then, us sorcerers."
If further broken down, there could indeed be even more factions.
On the sorcerers’ side, although both the sorcery high school and the major sorcerer families have taken action, it is difficult to say if they are on the same side.
The sorcerer families are surely following orders from the higher-ups and the heads of each family.
On the sorcery high school’s side, there are more different stances; Tokyo High led by Yaga Masamichi has one position, while Kyoto High led by Gakuganji Yoshinobu surely has another.
And then there’s Gojo Satoru, whose whereabouts and purpose are unknown; he might have his own agenda.
Adding to the mix are the 200,000 ordinary civilians caught up in this large-scale curse event, making the situation clearly very complex.
However, the situation afterwards is still uncertain.
After all, what the situation is like inside the [barrier] isolating the sorcerers is currently also hard to say.
"Our current primary objective is to lift that [barrier] and then find a way to lift the [barrier] enclosing Shibuya, trying to save as many ordinary civilians as possible."
Kiyotaka Ijichi’s words made Reiger glance at him with a half-smile.
"As many as possible...?"
Quite a suggestive statement.
Nanami Kento straightforwardly revealed the true meaning behind these words.
"This means if it’s not feasible, then we can abandon the lives of the ordinary civilians."
That’s exactly the case.
"What are you saying, Nanami!"
Itadori Yuji immediately got anxious.
"I’m gonna beat you up."
The certain social elite known as Nanami had veins popping out on his forehead.
"That’s 200,000 people!" Itadori Yuji shouted, ignoring him: "How can you just abandon so many living lives on a whim?"
"Calm down, Itadori." Fushiguro Megumi held down the slightly agitated Itadori Yuji, saying: "It’s inevitable; we can’t save everyone."
Undoubtedly, the situation for the 200,000 ordinary citizens in Shibuya is certainly not good.
Inside the [barrier] that isolates sorcerers, something is obviously happening, and even the enemy’s main force might be in there.
Whether it’s the curse masters led by Geto Suguru or those highly intelligent curse spirits, they all treat human lives as trifling matters.
In their hands, those people are unlikely to remain unharmed, and they might have already all perished.
To rescue a group of ordinary civilians of unknown status, rare and valuable sorcerers would have to sacrifice their lives, which clearly doesn’t match the thoughts of those old immortals at the higher-ups of the world of sorcery.
Given their character, if the worst-case scenario allows for the elimination of the suspected Geto Suguru and those four special-grade curse spirits, those old immortals wouldn’t mind sacrificing the lives of ordinary civilians.
In the eyes of those who wield the power in the world of sorcery and hold high positions, ordinary people without cursed energy who can’t use sorcery might just be considered a bunch of uncultured monkeys.
This mindset is not something only held by a rare group among sorcerers.
At the very least, in the hearts of many sorcerers, their lives are much more valuable than those of "monkeys."
Sorcerers who would sacrifice their lives to save ordinary people are indeed not many in the world of sorcery.
This is also why it’s said that there are also many different stances on the sorcerer side.
Tokyo High, led by Yaga Masamichi, is more humane and doesn’t easily turn a blind eye to the death of ordinary people.
Kyoto High, led by Gakuganji Yoshinobu, might also save ordinary people’s lives when feasible, but with the conservative leader’s personality, they might decisively give up when finding it impossible.
The sorcerer families, led by the Three Great Families, certainly wouldn’t care about the lives of ordinary people.
Based on such a philosophy of action, the actions that the sorcerers will take will also differ, and there might even be direct conflicts leading to internal conflicts.
The third-grade students who received a suspension this year and couldn’t participate in the Kyoto sister school exchange event, reportedly, also clashed with the conservatives during last year’s parade of a hundred demons event, eventually leading to a brawl between the two sides.
So, Shibuya has truly become a demon’s den now.
