Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1337 - 955: He’s Not the Protagonist?

Tokyo Jujutsu High is under attack!

This isn’t the first time it’s happened.

Back during the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event, Jujutsu High was attacked once before. Reiger was present then as well and was even attacked by a Curse Master among the attackers, making it a firsthand experience.

However, the reason the report uses the wording "attacked again" isn’t because it’s counting the attack during the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event.

In fact, after the Shibuya Incident ended, Tokyo Jujutsu High was attacked once.

The attackers targeting Jujutsu High at that time were none other than Itadori Yuji and Nanami Kento.

They wanted to rescue Yaga Masamichi and even contacted Zenin Maki, Panda, Inumaki Toge, and other second-year students, as well as some Curse Mages directly affiliated with Jujutsu High to get their help. But in the end, they encountered people from the Jujutsu Bureau sent to execute the death sentence, and even got into a fierce battle with the principal of the Capital City, Gakuganji Yoshinobu.

In that battle, Itadori Yuji and others claimed victory and repelled the people from the Jujutsu Bureau.

However, Yaga Masamichi, the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High, eventually died in a confrontation with Gakuganji Yoshinobu.

After that, including Zenin Maki, Panda, and Inumaki Toge, several Curse Mages who assisted Itadori Yuji and Nanami Kento were considered accomplices and were wanted by the world of sorcery.

The contact between Reiger and Nanami Kento occurred after that event, and according to him, Itadori Yuji and others seemed to be quite dispirited.

Then, Itadori Yuji and the others, just like Reiger, began exorcising Curse Spirits in Tokyo while dealing with people sent by the Jujutsu Bureau and searching for the whereabouts of Geto Suguru and Fushiguro Megumi.

This was Tokyo Jujutsu High’s first attack after the Shibuya Incident.

And now, Jujutsu High has been attacked a second time.

This time, the attacker is none other than Geto Suguru.

"He actually appeared on the side of Jujutsu High?"

Reiger focused his attention, reading the intelligence below.

According to the intelligence, this attack was aimed at an important figure within Jujutsu High by Geto Suguru.

"You should know about Master Tengen, right?"

The elderly man from the intelligence office spoke up just in time as Reiger was reading the report.

The Tengen mentioned was a very special Curse Mage.

This Curse Mage wasn’t a Special Grade Curse Mage, didn’t engage in the sorcery world’s conflicts, nor was he a high-ranking member wielding power, yet he held a very high status.

The reason was his immense contribution to the world of sorcery.

He was the strongest Barrier Master among known Curse Mages, and the barriers he set up have fortified nearly all the strongholds of Curse Mages and numerous auxiliary watch offices.

Without his presence, the safety protection and mission handling of Curse Mages would be difficult to maintain normally. It is because of his barrier support that Curse Mages can continue to exist as they do now.

Even the major Curse Mage families, led by the Three Great Families, were highly reliant on his barriers. Losing him might cause the functions of the sorcery world to collapse significantly, almost disintegrating.

Therefore, Tengen’s status in the world of sorcery was so unique that even the Three Great Families couldn’t ignore it, leading many Curse Mages to honorably address him as Master Tengen.

Including Gojo Satoru, almost all Curse Mages would naturally use an honorific when referring to him, which shows how special he was.

Even more exceptional was that his support for the operation of the sorcery world had not been just for one or two years or even decades.

Because his technique was [Immortal].

Yes, immortal.

As the name suggests, it’s a technique that allows one to live eternally in the world.

With this technique, Tengen, after reaching a certain age, would have his body reconstructed by the technique, causing him to undergo evolution.

This made him far beyond human, transcending the realm of humanity and becoming a more advanced being.

Thus, Tengen was able to continually support the operation of Curse Mages for hundreds, even thousands of years to come.

It’s apparent just how much Curse Mages valued him and what significant position he held.

Such a Tengen, in fact, had always been hiding within Tokyo Jujutsu High.

Beneath Tokyo Jujutsu High, there was his hiding place.

He’s been living there, leading a life unchanged over centuries, continuously maintaining the barriers of major strongholds in the world of sorcery.

But today, this highly esteemed Barrier Master was abducted.

"Geto Suguru broke through Jujutsu High’s barriers, leading numerous Curse Spirits to attack Jujutsu High, infiltrated the Hongxing Palace underground of Jujutsu High, and took control of Master Tengen, taking him away."

The old man spoke with a chilling smile, revealing this piece of intelligence.

"Because Master Tengen was abducted, the world of sorcery is now in utter chaos. The Jujutsu Bureau is furious but has to deploy many Curse Mages to compensate for the substantial weakening of barriers across various locations due to the loss of Master Tengen."

"Even sealing the great barrier around Tokyo now requires a substantial amount of manpower just to barely strengthen it to its previous level."

"Thanks to this, the manpower in the world of sorcery is extremely scarce now, so your pressure should be significantly reduced in the future."

Clearly, the old man had recognized Reiger’s identity, knowing that he was a Special Grade Curse Involvement wanted by the Jujutsu Bureau and pursued by Curse Mages.

Now that manpower is scarce in the world of sorcery, it’s expected that there will be very few people coming after Reiger in the future to take action against him.
