As the na suggests, it’s a curse manipulation technique that allows one to control Curse Spirits as if they were shikigami, freely commanding them.
Geto Suguru, this forr special-grade sorcerer possessed such a technique, and after years of accumulation, he subjugated thousands of Curse Spirits.
Among these Curse Spirits, there were no shortage of those evaluated as special-grade beings.
Therefore, this forr renegade special-grade sorcerer single-handedly recreated the hyakki yagyo from folk tales, causing thousands of Curse Spirits to invade the city, prompting the entire world of sorcery to unite and exhaust their strength, ultimately exorcising these many Curse Spirits.
If this forr special-grade sorcerer had made a move, then today’s events could be explained.
The simultaneous appearance and attack of thousands of Curse Spirits cannot help but raise suspicions about last year’s hyakki yagyo and also makes one suspect Geto Suguru’s [Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique].
However——
"Geto Suguru is already dead."
Gojo Satoru said in a tone never heard before.
"He was defeated by Yuta and then I personally killed him. I can be sure he can’t possibly be alive."
These words made the atmosphere in the principal’s office sowhat heavy.
At least, the faces of Yaga Masamichi and Iori Utahi were very serious, with Yaga Masamichi’s expression even sowhat sorrowful.
Reiger glanced at Gojo Satoru.
Though he didn’t say it, if Reiger rembered correctly, Geto Suguru was Gojo Satoru’s best friend.
Originally belonging to the Tokyo tropolitan Magic Technical College, Geto Suguru was in the sa year as Gojo Satoru ten years ago.
Just like Reiger is now in the sa year as Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro gumi, and Kugisaki Nobara, studying in their first year at the Magic College, Geto Suguru was Gojo Satoru’s classmate during their school years.
At the sa ti, Geto Suguru was the only best friend Gojo Satoru had in his lifeti, and their relationship could be called a golden partnership, with almost no barriers between them.
Unfortunately, after Geto Suguru defected, this relationship ca to an end.
But, in Gojo Satoru’s heart, Geto Suguru obviously still held a very special place.
"...If so, then where did the thousands of Curse Spirits co from?"
Gakuganji Yoshinobu noticed Gojo Satoru’s expression and seed to know he was in a bad mood, so he changed the topic, as if not wanting to further upset him.
And Yaga Masamichi answered that question for him.
"It is probably the work of the highly intelligent Curse Spirit ntioned earlier." Yaga Masamichi said with a hint of anger: "First, let give everyone so news, the warehouse at the Magic College used to store highly dangerous cursed objects was confird to have been breached not long ago."
"What?" Everyone was instantly shocked.
Reiger’s eyebrows slightly raised as well.
The Magic College is responsible for handling curse-related incidents, not only including the exorcism of Curse Spirits but also dealing with dangerous cursed objects.
For instance, Ryonsukuna’s fingers, which are highly dangerous cursed objects, totaling twenty, each evaluated as a special-grade cursed object.
If these fingers are left unchecked, they will greatly attract Curse Spirits, and if a Curse Spirit swallows a finger, it will gain imnse power and beco a significant source of disaster.
For example, the special-grade juvenile detention center Curse Spirit developed incredible power upon swallowing Ryonsukuna’s finger, hatching as a special-grade.
The Magic College has long been dealing with and storing such highly dangerous cursed objects, including Ryonsukuna’s fingers, and these cursed items are all kept in a highly concealed warehouse in the Magic College, which ordinary people couldn’t possibly find.
But now, this warehouse has been breached.
"What about the damage?"
Gojo Satoru was no longer imrsed in the matter of Geto Suguru and confird with Yaga Masamichi.
"It’s significant." Yaga Masamichi did not hide anything, saying solemnly: "All those responsible for guarding the warehouse were killed, dying in a miserable state, their bodies transford into monstrous things neither human nor ghost."
"And including Ryonsukuna’s fingers, several special-grade cursed objects have disappeared."
"Stolen... that’s the only possibility."
Everyone fell silent at once.
"Bodies transford..." Gojo Satoru sighed and said: "It seems it was probably the work of the highly intelligent Curse Spirit Yuji encountered before."
"He ntioned to that the Curse Spirit’s technique was very dangerous, capable of transforming human bodies into forms even Curse Spirits don’t possess, and then controlling them."
"People who’ve been transford have basically no salvation, losing their freedom, being controlled, or even undergoing a second transformation, a very painful fate."
This single sentence was enough to make one understand how dangerous and hateful that so-called highly intelligent Curse Spirit was.
Only Reiger showed so interest.
"Transforming body technique?"
Such a technique seems quite valuable.
Reiger wasn’t without similar magic, but those weren’t the type to be used lightly.
For instance, turning humans into other races, transforming other races into different species, or even making soone immortal and beco an undead; Reiger had such magic but wouldn’t use it lightly.
This transforming body curse technique shared a certain ingenuity with such magic. If its operability was strong, Reiger would quite like to acquire it.
The rest of the people, unaware of the thoughts Reiger had, had basically pieced together the reasons for today’s events.
"It seems the attack on the exchange event was just a cover, the real target being the dangerous cursed objects, including Sukuna’s fingers, and the [Veil] set up in the forest was just to draw us all over there."
Gojo Satoru said.
"As for those thousands of Curse Spirits... since the opponent is a highly intelligent special-grade Curse Spirit, capable of commanding multiple Curse Spirits and ordering them, it’s not impossible."
Everyone nodded in agreent with Gojo Satoru’s statent.
Mainly because the Magic College hadn’t found any "residue" left by sorcerers using techniques on those Curse Spirits.
Whether it’s sorcerers or Curse Masters, even including Curse Spirits, as long as they use curses, they will leave corresponding residual traces.
Magicians from other worlds are the sa, leaving behind residues of Magic Power after casting magic.
These residual traces are known as residue.
Only sorcerers can see residue.
And the thousands of Curse Spirits that appeared in the forest didn’t have any residue left from sorcerers using techniques.
So, rather than believing these Curse Spirits were controlled by [Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique], everyone was more willing to believe that highly intelligent Curse Spirit was able to command Curse Spirits below its own level, ordering them to invade the Magic College.
And that Curse Spirit took advantage of Gojo Satoru and others being distracted by the [Veil] and groups of Curse Spirits to infiltrate the warehouse holding cursed objects at the Magic College alone, stealing those dangerous cursed objects.
Only Iori Utahi raised the initial question.
"Then what about the bounty on Reiger Brillhaut?"
This is the only inexplicable issue.
If the event was caused by a highly intelligent Curse Spirit, then how to explain the bounty on Reiger, with Curse Masters also infiltrating the barrier of the Magic College and attacking Reiger?
"Could it be that Curse Spirits and Curse Masters are working together?"
Iori Utahi was sowhat startled.
"That possibility can’t be ruled out." Yaga Masamichi’s eyes slightly flashed under his sunglasses, saying: "It might also be a coincidence, soone taking advantage of the Capital City sister school’s exchange event to achieve so unspeakable aims."
Everyone imdiately looked at Gakuganji Yoshinobu.
Gakuganji Yoshinobu gripped his cane tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, apparently indignant.
But such a possibility can’t be dismissed.
Even if it wasn’t done by Gakuganji Yoshinobu, it could have been done by another high-ranking figure in the world of sorcery.
After all, ever since Reiger beca a special-grade individula involving curses and successfully mastered [Unlimited Cursed Technique] and [Ten Shadow Techniques], nurous high-rankings in the world of sorcery had been covertly watching him.
This was ntioned before, wasn’t it?
