When the anomaly occurred, it was naturally Gojo Satoru who first noticed everything.
"[Barrier]?"
Gojo Satoru stood up, looking at the darkness enveloping Tokyo High, and murmured.
The others also stood up one after another, seeing the layer of darkness descending from the sky, spreading like a swamp, akin to black mud.
"Who is casting [Barrier] in the Jujutsu High?"
"To actually cast [Barrier] inside the barrier of the high school?"
"There aren’t many casters with that ability."
"Where’s the target? Could it be towards the school building?"
"No, it’s not towards our side."
The crowd started discussing, so with solemn expressions, clearly having noticed sothing.
A [Barrier] is a type of boundary technique, and is one of the most commonly occurring ones.
It has various functions, capable of exhibiting different effects based on the caster’s ability and requirents.
The most basic [Barrier] can hide the space within a certain range, making ordinary people unable to see what happens inside the barrier.
So specially constructed [Barriers] can even have effects not found in ordinary boundaries, such as isolating specific groups of people, or allowing only specific individuals to enter and exit, being very flexible and versatile.
Since [Barrier] is a type of boundary technique, and boundary techniques can be jujutsu that can be constructed from scratch using cursed energy within oneself, even those without an innate technique can learn and use it. Therefore, many Curse Mages learn to use [Barrier] to assist in completing their tasks.
The darkness that appeared near Tokyo tropolitan Jujutsu Technical High School at this mont is a kind of [Barrier].
More precisely, this [Barrier] is not deployed inside the Jujutsu High, but on the side of the forest.
Seeing this, how could the Curse Mages not know what the target of the [Barrier] deploynt is?
"This is bad!" Yaga Masamichi shouted: "It’s aid at the students!"
Upon hearing this, not only Yaga Masamichi, but even Gakuganji Yoshinobu stood up.
"...Curse Masters?"
The conservative leader finally showed a bit of the sharpness that a Curse Mage should have.
"Not necessarily." Gojo Satoru didn’t turn to look at Gakuganji Yoshinobu, as if responding to him, or as if talking to himself, he said: "Perhaps it’s a Curse Spirit?"
"Curse Spirit?"
The Curse Mages were stunned.
Can a Curse Spirit cast [Barrier]?
Impossible, right?
Indeed, boundary techniques are jujutsu that anyone with cursed energy can use, but not everyone can successfully utilize them.
Even if everyone can learn, whether they can learn it well and use it properly is another story. If one cannot learn it or use it well, naturally they can’t employ it.
The [Barrier] appearing here at the Jujutsu High is clearly of a high level, not sothing an ordinary person could cast.
And could a Curse Spirit, driven by the sole desire to kill, possess the intelligence to learn and use [Barrier]?
Definitely not.
At least, none of the Curse Mages present had ever seen a Curse Spirit casting a [Barrier] boundary, even those at or above semi-grade one level could only instinctively use innate techniques engraved in their bodies.
Therefore, Gojo Satoru’s words left the Curse Mages present montarily stunned.
Only Yaga Masamichi rembered Gojo Satoru’s report not long ago.
"A Curse Spirit that can communicate with humans..."
Yaga Masamichi’s expression sank.
Gojo Satoru had once reported to him that his student, the vessel of Ryonsukuna, Itadori Yuji, had encountered a Curse Spirit capable of communicating and suspected to possess a high level of intelligence during a mission not long ago.
That Curse Spirit had been classified as a special-grade Curse Spirit, extrely powerful, and even though Itadori Yuji, who had learned to use cursed energy and whose strength approached a first-grade Curse Sorcerer, tead up with the first-grade Curse Sorcerer guiding him, they almost died at its hands.
Had it not been for the opponent’s technique touching upon the other soul within Itadori Yuji, causing it to intervene, Itadori Yuji and the first-grade Curse Sorcerer who accompanied him would have been killed.
It should be known that Curse Sorcerers are naturally stronger than Curse Spirits of the sa level, and first-grade Curse Sorcerers are indeed capable of dealing with special-grade Curse Spirits. Even so, that first-grade Curse Sorcerer and Itadori Yuji together almost perished at the hands of that special-grade Curse Spirit, demonstrating the overwhelming strength of that special-grade Curse Spirit, which is undoubtedly far above the special-grade hypothetical Curse Spirit seen at the juvenile detention center.
If it were a Curse Spirit possessing high intelligence, it might indeed be able to learn and deploy [Barrier], and have the capability to unfold [Barrier] within the boundary of Jujutsu High.
"Swoosh!"
Just as Yaga Masamichi was about to say sothing about this, suddenly, Gojo Satoru disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Yaga Masamichi’s expression tightened, and he imdiately issued loud instructions.
"Quick! Go support Gojo! Ensure all students’ safety!"
In response, one by one, the Curse Mages imdiately leaped out from the corridor and windows, heading towards the forest.
"Principal Gakuganji!"
Miwa Kasumi also anxiously called out to Gakuganji Yoshinobu.
"Let’s go." Gakuganji Yoshinobu said with a deep look in his eyes: "Aside from the vessel of Ryonsukuna, we cannot ignore the safety of the other students."
He wanted Itadori Yuji dead, and even if other students of Tokyo High died, he could remain unmoved, but the lives of the students from Capital City High, he couldn’t disregard.
Thus, Gakuganji Yoshinobu and Miwa Kasumi also left the eting hall, heading towards the forest.
...
Above the forest, outside the pitch-black [Barrier].
"Swoosh!"
Gojo Satoru’s figure suddenly appeared here, directly hovering in the air, standing as if on solid ground.
