Chapter 17 Special Treatment is Even More Cruel
The Nine Square Formation endured the whole night and shattered the cursed spirit.
This cursed spirit was a private property raised by a big shot from one of the three great families, but he did not have the courage to inform his family and ask the family sorcerer to take action.
Of course, it is also possible that he was reluctant to lose his precious family sorcerer, so he contacted the convenient and fast Nine Square Formation.
If the news spreads that a cursed spirit is being kept privately and caused to lose control and hurt people, it will be a fatal thing for the elderly who are careful about their reputation.
This mission could also serve as an excuse to order him around at will, letting him know that he was still under tight control.
It was just a first-level cursed spirit, and the Nine Square Array killed it without much effort. It was just that the round trip was long, which delayed a lot of time.
When he returned to the dormitory, it was already daybreak. Tired from the journey, he forced himself to get ready and fell on the bed, wanting nothing more than to sleep.
It takes more than three days to sleep in Honmaru, so Jiang Jiu has become accustomed to running back and forth.
Before Jiang Jiu switched his vest, he habitually glanced at the panel of the Nine Square Array and found that the unlocking task had appeared at some point!
The condition for unlocking the third character in the Nine Squares is: follow the settings of this character and go completely [crazy] once.
Jiang Jiu analyzed, does this "thoroughly" mean to make the pressure value of the Nine Square Array close to the full value of 100?
But Jiu Fang Zhen had been living a very relaxed life in the college these past two days. The people in the college were all taking good care of him for no apparent reason. If Jiu Fang Zhen suddenly got angry for no reason, it would seem too...
Eh, that seems to make sense!
He has a grumpy personality! He gets angry for no reason, or suddenly becomes paranoid and thinks someone is trying to harm him. These seem to fit his personality.
Uh... never mind. I guess being angry normally won't reach the "crazy" threshold. And it will leave a weird impression on my classmates.
Then all that was left was to go out on a mission to exorcise the cursed spirit.
But the attack power of the Nine Square Array's normal attack seems to be very strong. Although Gojo Satoru said that the use of cursed power was too rough and wasteful, he killed the first-level cursed spirit last night with almost no effort. The difficulty is not even as great as Fushiguro Megumi's shikigami!
Alas! I didn't expect that being too strong would be a problem! Even the first-level curse spirit couldn't cause him any pressure! The slight increase in stress yesterday was probably caused by the assistant supervisor knocking on the door and waking him up. It will probably go down after a good night's sleep.
It seems that if you want to increase the stress value efficiently in the short term and trigger the [Crazy] trait before resting to reduce the stress value, you can only resort to using the special-grade curse spirit!

Saionji Masao walked him all the way back to the door, bowed deeply and watched him go into the house.
Megumi Fushiguro heard some noise at the door and went out to take a look, just in time to meet the middle-aged man who had not left yet.
"Did you just get back?"
When I saw a young sorcerer I didn't recognize, I guessed that he was probably a student at Tokyo High School, maybe a first or second year student.
He replied respectfully: "Yes, Lord Jiufang received a temporary mission last night, and we just returned after exorcising the cursed spirit."
Fushiguro Megumi frowned, "From what I understand, Mr. Ijichi is in charge of the tasks for the first-year students in the school?"
Saionji was hesitant, "Master Kyuho is different..."
"What's the difference?" Fushiguro Megumi noticed something was wrong and asked directly.
The noise startled Itadori Yuji, who was sitting next to Fushiguro Megumi, and he came out to join in the fun. He put his arm around Fushiguro Megumi's shoulders and was not angry when he was brushed off: "What? What are you talking about?"
Facing the questioning of the two powerful sorcerers, Saionji stammered, "Master Kyukata's temper... is not very receptive to other assistant supervisors, so I was assigned to take charge of his tasks."
He bowed deeply to the two of them and said, "Please believe me, I have been working with Master Jiufang for three years. I will properly handle Master Jiufang's travel arrangements."
Fushiguro Megumi still felt a little awkward: a separate assistant supervisor urgently called a young sorcerer to go on a mission in the middle of the night, and there were several sorcerers from the technical college next door who could help, but he didn't alarm them at all...
Moreover, that sorcerer was from the special Nine Squares.
Everything made him feel uncomfortable.
Itadori Yuji had rarely been treated with such respect, especially by a mature middle-aged man who looked very old and had a lot of respect. The simple Sendai boy was a little uncomfortable with this, but he couldn't point fingers at other people's behavior.
Under normal circumstances, he would want to end the conversation quickly, but since it involves his "new friend" Jiu Fangzhen, whom he has been caring about recently, Yuji also wants to get things clear.
"Um," Yuji Itadori said with his eyes wide open, "Did the high school have a mission yesterday? Why did they only call Kyuho?"
That's right! Fushiguro Megumi suddenly realized.
Was this task entrusted to the students of the technical college, or was it specifically given to Jiufang alone? This is a very crucial question!
Saionji Masaharu had cold sweat on his forehead: "Yes, yes, this mission was specifically assigned to Lord Kyukata."
Fushiguro Megumi's face darkened, and his eyes were sharp. There was definitely something fishy going on!
But the assistant supervisor was already planning to slip away, so he apologized, "Sorry, I have to leave first." He bowed madly again.
The two had no reason to stop him. Even if they still had a bunch of questions, they knew that asking him would not answer them.
After the people left, Yuji Itadori scratched his head and looked at Fushiguro Megumi. Then they walked away tacitly and began to exchange information.
"Do you also feel something is wrong?" Yuji Itadori spoke in a calm and deliberately low voice with a magnetic tone, and his movements were sneaky, as if he was playing the handsome male lead in a movie.
Fushiguro Megumi patted the back of his head and said, "Speak properly!"
“Oh, it hurts, it hurts!”
The black-haired boy ignored his companion's strong desire to perform and said to himself, "The technical high school has a special auxiliary supervisor to connect the senior management and students. Mr. Ijichi has a close connection with Mr. Gojo, and Mr. Gojo sometimes gets information about students' performance from him."
After saying that, he couldn't help but add, "That unscrupulous teacher! He always deliberately assigns his tasks to us, and then he goes about his business happily!"
"Hey, but this is also the training that Gojo-sensei gives us, right?" Yuji was not angry about this.
"Get the point, idiot! The Nine Squares has its own assistant supervisor, who can bypass Teacher Gojo and even the school to assign him a task. No matter how you think about it, there's something wrong with this!"
"So Jiufang has been made special." Yuji said seriously.
"Besides," Fushiguro Megumi was even more worried, "I fought with him once. At first we were evenly matched, but later he seemed to be in a bad state..."
"It's more like I'm going crazy..." Megumi Fushiguro fell into reminiscence.
"Hasn't Kyuho always been in a bad mood?" Yuji Itadori interrupted.
"No, I mean... he fell into complete madness. Fortunately, Gojo-sensei came back that day and interrupted him, otherwise Gojo-sensei would have said that his cursed power surged and could have killed me and Goumaki-senpai in an instant."
Yuji Itadori has not met the senior from the technical high school yet, but he plans to ask who the senior is later. He listens quietly to Megumi Fushiguro's analysis.
"He looked crazy, completely irrational, as if he wanted to tear everything in front of him apart. And if Gojo-sensei hadn't knocked him out, I can't imagine how he could have gotten out of this state on his own..."
"Uh..." Yuji Itadori felt that Fushiguro was exaggerating a bit. "Do you think he's too scary?" He recalled how he got along with Kyushujin. "I think he's just a little closed, not as bad as you said..."
Fushiguro Megumi interrupted him seriously: "No, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you don't know the real situation! I'm worried that he really..."
"Hey, guys, what are you whispering about?" Kugisaki Nobara passed by and saw the two of them whispering on the grass downstairs.
"Oh yes! Kugisaki, you haven't met your new classmates yet, right?" Yuji Itadori discovered that they had not acted together in the past two days, and theoretically, Nobara Kugisaki had not met the Kyuuba-ganj.
In fact, Kugisaki had heard of this person a long time ago. The weather had been getting hot, and the beautiful girl had been looking forward to the summer clothes of the technical high school, but what was delivered first was a royal blue long-sleeved school uniform.
——What kind of eye-catching aesthetic is this! Aren’t you afraid that such bright cold colors will be too conspicuous? It has no concealing effect at all!
And this is too ugly! The guy who chose the color of the clothes is definitely a straight man! The kind who will never find a girlfriend!
Gojo Satoru, who is still single and raising a child at such an old age, said: "..."
Gojo Satoru has good aesthetic sense, he just wants the Nine Square Array to accept such bright colors, let down their guard against their classmates, and stop suspecting that the school is full of human-shaped cursed spirits.
In short, Nobara Kugisaki has long blamed the new classmate who pretends to be mysterious for the school uniform incident, and she will punish him sooner or later!
In fact, strictly speaking, Yuji Itadori has only known Fushiguro and Kugisaki for a short time. After all, he has just entered the world of curse techniques and has not even received many missions.
But perhaps because he had fought side by side with both of them and their personalities were similar, they quickly became familiar with each other after a lot of noisy quarrels.
Jiu Fang Zhen was different. He was the kind of person that was hard to get along with. Unless he persisted in making his presence felt in front of him day after day, they might not have any intersections other than missions until graduation. Not to mention that now he knew that the source of Jiu Fang Zhen's missions might be different from theirs.
Yuji Itadori briefly talked to Kugisaki about the eyes and personality of the Nine-Handed One, and told her his and Fushiguro's guesses. The three of them quickly reached a consensus and formed a united front. They would first tell Gojo Satoru about the auxiliary supervision and ask him if he knew what was going on. Then they would try to quickly become partners with the Nine-Handed One and let him integrate into their small group.
"Tsk, immature boy." Although she was very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, but pretended to be cool, Kugisaki Nobara laughed at their simple plan. She was also involved in the discussion of this plan.
They called Gojo Satoru, and he said that he already knew about it. He asked them to concentrate on training, stop thinking about it, and just treat the Nine Square Formation normally.
Well, this unethical teacher can no longer be relied upon. Not revealing any information to them will only make them more curious!
"Come to think of it, Yuji, you said that the Nine Square Array has poor eyesight, but can't glasses correct it? Can not seeing clearly really exorcise the cursed spirit?"
Yuji Itadori also had only a vague understanding. When he first met the Nine Square Array, he also thought about the glasses issue, but the other party got angry after just a few words, and the topic was dropped. So he actually didn't know what amblyopia was.
This question was given to Fushiguro Megumi, who knew more about the world of curses, to answer: "It is the sky and the curse."
Kugisaki suddenly realized, "Oh, it's Heaven and Curse."
Yuji was left confused, "What? What is it?"
Fushiguro explained simply: "Take Kyukata as an example. He was born with a level of cursed power far beyond that of ordinary people, but we don't know what the specific technique is. This talent was exchanged for his eyes. Since his eyesight was exchanged for a talent, there is no way that the curse will give him a chance to make up for it."
Seeing that Yuji Itadori was still confused, Kugisaki also helped to explain: "In short, if the invention of glasses can project light and shadows onto the center of the retina, then the Heaven and Curse Binding may directly cause his retina, lens, and ciliary body to distort and deform, and no surgical method or reversal procedure can cure it."
"Is there no way at all?" He said without giving up.
"No."
"No."
Yuji Itadori thought: Why doesn't God just deprive him of his eyesight completely?
He stubbornly relies on his imperfect vision and is unwilling to focus on training his other five senses...
There is always a little light hanging in front of his eyes, but he never sees the hope of seeing the world clearly. Isn't this more cruel than being blind?
Yuji didn't know at this time that God was actually more cruel to him.
In July 2018, at the Jiying Juvenile Detention Center in Nishitokyo City, a student died during the special imaginary cursed spirit and cursed fetus mission. *
