Chapter 18: Conspiracy and conspiracy
Yuji and the other two were suddenly taken away at the high school training ground.
Originally, Itadori was very enthusiastic about proposing to train Kyuubajin with him in taijutsu. Kyuubajin thought that since Itadori Yuji had never had a direct conflict with him, at least not a life-and-death battle like Fushiguro Megumi, he would not secretly trip him up.
So he was forced to eat a lunch that was too much for him by Tiger Stick, and then he was led to the unfamiliar playground. Of course, except for the dormitory and the cafeteria, he was unfamiliar with any part of the high school.
He also met Kugisaki Nobara, a female sorcerer with a loud voice. The acquaintance was quite unpleasant. Kugisaki was not polite to him and said right away: "You are too weak! Are you really a first-level sorcerer?"
Jiu Fang Zhen thought maliciously: If you make me angry, I will let you see whether I am a first-level sorcerer or not!
Because Jiu Fangzhen's muscles have no signs of training, they are so soft that they are not even as good as Kugisaki's muscles, so Yuji Itadori suggested that in addition to learning basic physical skills, he should also train his body strength! Of course, three meals a day must also be strictly followed!
Yuji Itadori also used himself as an example, saying that he had never systematically learned any physical skills, and that his physical fitness was simply too good, so he could easily perform various movements according to the ideas in his brain.
In fact, the most suitable conditions for the Nine Squares at this stage are to practice weapons such as "daggers". And "daggers" are not completely suitable for him. His close combat ability is too poor. It's okay when facing cursed spirits without intelligence, but if it's a human or a rational cursed spirit, the dagger will easily slip out of his hand. At that time, he can only fight with his fists - just like the time he fought with Fushiguro.
Don't even think about long-range bows and arrows, it's unclear whether you can aim.
The Nine-square Formation has sufficient magical power, which can be used to inject huge magical power into the magical tools. The ideal weapon is a spear, a long stick, etc., which have a slightly longer attack range.
Unfortunately, Jiu Fang Zhen's arms were thin, and he couldn't wield a weapon that required a lot of strength.
Therefore, Yuji Itadori suggested that he focus on physical training and offered to personally supervise him to eat normally!
Unfortunately, his "solemn promise" did not even have time to be fulfilled for lunch, and the three of them were taken away by Yidi Chijiegao.
When they left, Jiu Fang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. They finally got rid of the troublemaker Yu Zhang! If he showed a little bit of goodwill to them, he would even control their daily routine! He was really taking advantage of them!
"Ahhh, it's so unpleasant to fight and sweat in such a hot day! I must purify myself quickly and come back to take a bath!"
Before leaving, Kugisaki pointed at the Nine Squares jogging listlessly and said, "Why doesn't that guy have to go?"
Ijichi adjusted his glasses and explained to Kugisaki, "Kyukata-san just went on a level one mission, and his superiors asked him to take a break this time. But the situation is urgent this time, and Tokyo really doesn't have any extra manpower, so we asked you three, the first years of the technical high school, to go and rescue him."
"Tsk - got it, hurry up!"
The nine-member formation was running around the playground under the sun. Yuji Itadori had previously told him to run five laps first.
How far is five circles? The Nine Squares don't know.
Did he run off the runway? The Nine Squares couldn't see it either.
Yuji Itadori said casually: It’s okay, you run first, and I’ll call you after five laps!
The Nine Square Array's stamina bar is okay, mainly because there is no such thing as "spiritual power" to consume. Exercising his stamina will not make him faint like a loser like Bai Qichuan.
When he was so tired that he could only move forward mechanically, he heard from afar that Tiger Stick was shouting at him from the other end of the playground: "Jiufang, we are going to go on the mission first! You stay in the high school and remember to eat well!"
Hey! Don't leave yet! At least someone can take me back to the cafeteria!
With no one supervising, the Nine Square Array stopped, bent over and wiped the sweat off their foreheads.
Jiang Jiu glanced at the stamina bar. There was only half left, which was quite high. He didn't need to eat. A good sleep should be enough to replenish it.
Where's the stress bar? Damn! It's reduced to one-sixth! It seems that the saying that running can relieve stress is true!
The playground was bustling just now, with Fushiguro and Kugisaki practicing physical skills, and Itadori intervening from time to time and shouting a few words of encouragement to the Kyushu Formation.
Now that the three people have left, he doesn't know how to leave and go back to the house to rest. He suddenly hates this kind of silence...
The nine-square formation slowly groped its way around the huge playground. After about half an hour, it finally kicked its bag under a familiar big tree!
He first took out his water bottle and gulped down a few gulps of water. Then he took out the cell phone from his bag and called Saionji Masaru. He had only one purpose: he was lost at Tokyo Technical High School, and he needed to come and take him back to the dormitory!
Actually, Saionji Masagi was a regular assistant supervisor, not his personal babysitter. But after Jiu Fangzhen left the family, he no longer had a servant to take care of his daily life, and it was very inconvenient for him to move around. The last time Saionji Masagi took him on a mission, he remembered that there was such a person he could order around!
He unceremoniously ordered the assistant supervisor to do servant work for him, which was beyond his duties. Of course, in his heart, this was justified and he did not feel the slightest guilt.
I really wanted to refuse. It's very troublesome to report to enter the high school barrier! Not to mention it's because of such a small matter! But I was afraid that the Nine Squares would hold a grudge against me and I wouldn't have time to cast the spell next time I went on a mission, so I had to say tactfully: "You can ask your classmates if they can take you back."
"They are all out on a mission, stop talking nonsense and get over here!"
Xiyuanji was already used to such impolite remarks without asking for favors. He did not get angry, but continued to speak in a good-tempered manner: "Without a mission, it would be difficult for external assistant supervisors to enter the school."
Jiu Fang Zhen was furious: "Asshole! Then you figure out a way! Trash!"
It was clearly his own fault that he couldn't find the right path, but he took his emotions out on others, bossing them around as if it was his right, ordering them to do small things for him...
Jiu Fang Zhen is such an impolite person. This is how his family treats him. I have no right to criticize Xiyuanji Masaru.
I was thinking that if I couldn't refuse it at all, why not agree to it this time? But if I compromised this time, would I be asked to do so many times in the future... Saionji Masaru suddenly heard the voice of Jiu Fang Zhen on the other end of the phone: "What mission did the three of them have today?"
"Huh?" Why did the topic suddenly jump to this point? Saionji was at a loss.
Jiu Fangzhen repeated impatiently, "I say, what level of cursed spirits are the other three first-year students going to exorcise today?"
I haven't paid attention to this kind of thing, after all, he is only responsible for Jiu Fang Zhen. But he is still very resourceful. Let Jiu Fang Zhen wait for a while, he contacted a few colleagues, and soon found out the whereabouts of the three "containers".
Xiyuan Temple is very capable. Apart from his limited talent as a sorcerer and lack of ordinary social education, he is still very capable as an assistant supervisor. Otherwise, the top management would not have sent him to "assist" and "supervise" the Nine Square Array.
He was very keen to perceive something from the words "super cursed fetus" and "rescue survivors". But he chose not to say anything, leaving the decision of whether to intervene to the Nine Square Array, whose judgment ability was questionable.
"It was a special-grade Cursed Child that appeared over the West Tokyo Juvenile Yard as observed by the Window. Your colleagues went to rescue the survivors and will not engage in direct combat with them."
Jiang Jiu caught the word "special grade".
He had long wanted to rely on fighting with special-grade creatures to increase his pressure value and unlock a new identity! Although a special-grade cursed fetus is a cursed fetus, it is still a special-grade one, and... no one has ever said that a cursed fetus cannot be hatched!
The desire to cause trouble suddenly arises!
"Take me there!" Jiufangzhen ordered coldly.
"What?" Xiyuan Temple thought he was hallucinating. The "little lunatic" actually took the initiative to ask for a mission?!
"Are you deaf today?! I say!" Jiu Fang Zhen yelled at the other end of the phone: "Take me there!!"
If it was any other ordinary task, Saionji might have agreed to it easily. At most he would write a report later to explain that he was forced to do it.
However, today's "Super Cursed Child" mission is obviously fishy at first glance. It may be a trap set by the high-ranking officials in the curse world for Ryoumen Sukuna's "container", killing two birds with one stone and dealing a heavy blow to the Gojo Satoru faction!
Privately, Saionji Masaru doesn't really want the Nine Square Array to get involved in this mess - the shackles on the Nine Square Array are already heavy enough, why should they further deepen their own suspicion and make their presence felt among the higher-ups?
But it was obvious that the Nine Square Array had been angered by his repeated defiance. If they continued to refuse, he might be shattered by the cursed power the next time they met!
Saionji groaned secretly. If he had known that it would be troublesome at the beginning, he would have just agreed to take care of him all the way. It would have been better than living in fear like this.
"Please be patient for a moment. I will ask my superiors for the exact location and mission details."
After hanging up the phone for the time being, Saionji Masaru dialed the upper level of the upper level he was connected to without hesitation - the ruler of the world of sorcery who had absolute power over the sharp weapon of the Nine Square Formation.
He didn't even ask his superiors first, because he knew that his superiors were just following orders from higher-ups and assigning him specific tasks. The ones who really had the final say were the elders at the power center of the magic world.
After dialing the number, Saionji Masagi quickly relayed the Kyufang Array's request and expressed his concerns: "I don't know what the 'Container' did. When Lord Kyufang heard that they were facing a special-grade enemy, his breathing became rapid. Now he is making a fuss and insisting on going to help them." He was very anxious, but pretended to be considerate and said: "I am worried that if this continues, Lord Kyufang will ruin your plan..."
The old voice on the other end of the phone laughed: "Oh wow, Xiao Zhen! Young people are so lively..."
"Yes, yes!" Saionji broke out in a cold sweat and smiled apologetically.
"In that case, let him wait for an hour before going over. By then... Hoho! Someone still needs to take care of the special grade..."
Xiyuanji's eyes widened. It was just as he expected! This mission was a conspiracy! That was not a special grade cursed fetus at all! The information was wrong. The cursed fetus had probably been hatched long ago! The top management didn't want those three first-year students to survive!
Just in time, Jiu Fang Zhen was clamoring to go, so the higher-ups took advantage of the situation and asked him to clean up the mess and exorcise the special-grade cursed spirit.
One hour... Without even a first-class sorcerer, could the "container" really last an hour under the hands of a special-class curse spirit? !
I just hope that Master Jiufang's heart is still as cold as before, and he won't be enraged by their deaths...
