"————"
The humanoid Curse Spirit that was just about to grin wickedly froze entirely at that mont, its entire form and facial expression all ca to a halt together.
After staying frozen like this for several seconds, a neat line appeared right in the middle of the humanoid Curse Spirit’s body.
"Ka..."
Reiger had already landed from mid-air, standing on the edge of the shattered ground, slowly sheathing his black sword, putting it away.
It was then that the humanoid Curse Spirit, suspended in mid-air, suddenly split into two along the line that appeared right in the center of its body, splitting cleanly.
"Boom!"
Soon, the bisected body of the humanoid Curse Spirit ignited, and before it even fell to the ground, it was already burnt away completely.
This was also the fate of Curse Spirits, lacking a physical form, wholly ford from cursed energy once they perished, like a monster from an underground city turning to ashes after its magic stone was removed.
Simultaneously, the Curse Spirit Domain constructed with cursed energy was also dissipating, causing all the multi-story buildings and the complex web of water pipes to vanish.
Only the land, left untouched, remained, showing the original state of this juvenile detention center.
The battle, in just a fleeting mont, declared its end.
".........Eh?"
At this mont, Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro gumi, and Kugisaki Nobara were all stunned.
"...Did we win?"
"This has to be a lie... right?"
"A special-grade Curse Spirit... was exorcised with a single blow?"
The three of them, as if unable to believe what they had witnessed, murmured blankly.
"Phew, that felt much better."
Reiger, on the other hand, like exhaling a bad breath, finally let the remaining bit of discomfort in his heart disappear without a trace.
...
Record—
July 2018, Nishitokyo City, Eishu Juvenile Detention Center.
A special-grade hypothetical Curse Spirit (unnad) successfully hatched, and three first-year students from the academy were urgently dispatched to this place, entering the unfinished domain and encountering the target.
The special-grade hypothetical Curse Spirit (unnad) was successfully exorcised, the exorcist being a mysterious sword-wielding young man, identity unknown, origin unknown, reason for appearance unknown, possessing powerful strength to easily exorcise special-grade, not using cursed energy or spells (questionable).
Afterwards, the unfinished domain was dissolved, no missing persons were found, all three first-year students survived, currently acting together with the mysterious exorcist.
The mysterious exorcist — Reiger Brillhaut temporarily classified as a special-grade Curse Involvent, filed in records.
...
"Special-grade Curse Involvent?"
A voice filled with confusion, surprise, and a bit of eager interest rang out in a corner of the bustling airport.
"While I was away, Yuji and the others encountered sothing so interesting?"
The one making this remark was a young man who, in a certain sense, was very attention-grabbing.
The young man was about twenty years old, over 190 cm tall, wearing a black uniform, with striking white hair, his face chiseled with sharp angles, likely very handso, yet most of it obscured by a black blindfold covering his eyes.
He seed to have just gotten off a plane, without a suitcase, not even carrying any luggage, walking through the airport with hands empty, one hand in a pocket, the other holding a mobile phone, engaged in a call.
On the other end of the call, the person hearing the young man’s interested voice seed to speak with a bit of helplessness.
"This isn’t sothing interesting; I was almost worried to death."
The young man grinned upon hearing this.
"Indeed, sending three first-year academy students to handle a cursed fetus that might hatch into a special-grade Curse Spirit, those old geezers ought to be nervous."
"Nervous about whether I’d go find them to settle accounts."
"Don’t you think so?"
This brazen statent made the person on the other end break into a cold sweat.
"Mr. Gojo, about this..."
The other party hesitantly attempted to say sothing, but the young man spoke first.
"No worries, no worries, don’t be nervous, since Yuji and the others returned safely, I don’t plan on doing anything extre, don’t let this fool you, I’m quite respectful to the elderly and caring towards the young."
The words the young man spoke with a smile left the person on the other end wanting to retort internally.
You respectful and caring?
If that’s true, then it truly is not good.
The person on the other end was certain that the young man must be figuring out a way to cause trouble for the upper echelons of the world of sorcery, at least infuriating them to no end before he’ll stop.
Poor old folks, almost buried, with Mr. Gojo infuriating them so, who knows if it might shorten their lifespan by several years...
"Let’s not talk about that, I’m more interested in this special-grade Curse Involvent right now." The young man changed the subject, speaking with interest: "To be able to exorcise a special-grade hypothetical Curse Spirit easily, their strength is at least half of mine."
"How old is he? Does he have a girlfriend? Are his parents alive? If I visit him, would he entertain ?"
"...I don’t know." The person on the other end again broke into a sweat, smiled wryly: "You’ve seen the records, haven’t you? Everything about the special-grade Curse Involvent is unknown, identity unknown, origin unknown, reason for appearance unknown, almost as if a foreigner suddenly appeared in this world, even investigating through governnt channels yields no information about him."
"We suspect he’s a stowaway from abroad, given that his na doesn’t sound dostic."
"But which country he’s from, or who he is, we haven’t discovered yet."
"Interesting." The young man’s interest seed to grow after hearing this, saying: "Is he now with Yuji and the others? What do the old folks plan to do?"
"Currently, the special-grade Curse Involvent is indeed moving with Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro gumi, and Kugisaki Nobara, but according to Fushiguro, he isn’t deliberately following them and might leave at any ti." The person on the other end spoke seriously: "The upper echelon hasn’t taken any additional actions yet, currently observing the situation."
"Ha, that’s just like those cowardly old folks, they’re probably worried that rash contact might bring trouble, right? After all, the other party is also a special-grade?" The young man laughed, and after a bit of amusent, made a decision on the spot: "They’re probably wanting to make the first contact with that special-grade Curse Involvent, right? Sure! I agree!"
"Uh... please don’t go overboard." The person on the other end was instantly tense: "Though the special-grade Curse Involvent is indeed special-grade, he’s capable of easily exorcising a special-grade hypothetical Curse Spirit, making him absolutely special-grade among special-grades, just like Mr. Gojo."
"If you two end up clashing, it would be terrifying, so please be cautious."
"Got it, got it." The young man waved, lacking any convincing tone: "I’ll be careful, that’s all, goodbye."
And with that, the young man hung up the call.
"Special-grade among special-grades... huh?"
With his hands in his pockets, the young man laughed and mused to himself.
"I really want to test him out."
Leaving those words, the young man continued walking, and suddenly vanished without a trace.
No one around seed to notice this, as people continued to co and go, vibrant as ever.
...
"This is indeed an unexpected turn of events."
At the sa ti, atop a large building, a man dressed as a monk was also speaking to himself.
"Originally, I only orchestrated this situation to test Sukuna’s strength, yet it unexpectedly attracted a strange variable."
"Special-grade Curse Involvent?"
"Reiger Brillhaut?"
The monk-dressed man stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Yes, indeed, a na I’ve never heard of, seems like I need to test this special-grade Curse Involvent too."
"But, which piece should I use this ti?"
"If it’s just using the ’fingers,’ it might not be sufficient."
As he pondered, the monk-dressed man had an idea and smiled.
"Let incite Luohu and the others to go and test it out."
