Chapter 296: Challenge! Directorate - ...
Directorate-General
Every once in a while, members of the General Directorate would hold a grand meeting to discuss in detail the various events that occurred in the world of magic.
The venue for the meeting is mainly managed by the General Directorate and the three most powerful families in the world of magic - the Gojo family, the Zenin family, and the Kamo family.
This time, according to the previous order, the Kamo family is responsible for holding the meeting.
As the sun sets in the west, looking at the harmonious and orderly exchange scene in front of him, the high-spirited patriarch of the Kamo family, Kamo Kenji, nodded with satisfaction, and a hint of smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Master Kamo." The voice coming from not far away made Kamo Kenji subconsciously turn his head and he successfully saw the owner of the voice.
"So it's the Zen-in Patriarch." Kamo Kenshi nodded and asked with an unwavering smile, "I wonder what the Zen-in Patriarch wants to talk to me about?"
"It's nothing serious, Master Kamo." Zenin Naohito stroked his shoulder-length, slicked-back hair and casually wiped the wet spot from the chest of his dark yukata. "It's just because you're the responsible party for this meeting. So..."
"What I want to ask is why the Gojo family did not send anyone to attend this meeting. Could it be that the head of the Kamo family did not send anyone to invite them?" asked Zenin Naohito.
At the mention of the Gojo Clan, Kamo Kenji's lips twitched, and the smile on his face instantly vanished. However, he managed to maintain his composure, spreading his hands helplessly and replying, "Actually, I don't know the reason either. In the past, each major family would have selected attendees for meetings held by the General Directorate."
"But the people I sent to invite the Gojo family this time returned empty-handed. They said that when they asked them to leave, the Gojo family closed the door and said nothing."
Kamo Kenji narrowed his eyes and said in a somewhat obscure tone, "I really don't know why the Gojo family made such a choice this time..."
"Really..." Zenin Zhibiren raised his eyebrows and looked at
"No... It's bad, Lord Kamo! Lord Kamo!" The subordinate ran hurriedly to Kamo Kenji who was talking to Zenin Naohito with a communication tool, gasping for breath.
"What happened?" Kamo Kenji said impatiently, seemingly feeling ashamed of his subordinate's behavior. "Didn't I tell you to stay calm no matter what? Why are you making such a fuss? What's wrong with you?"
"The window... there's news from the window..." The subordinate's voice stuttered, and he finished his words firmly under Kamo Kenji's increasingly impatient gaze.
"Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru are reportedly causing a scene in their department because a mistake in a cursed spirit mission resulted in injuries to students at Tokyo Jujutsu High School. Furthermore... after learning the location of today's meeting, they're now rushing here—!!!"
"What?! Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru?!" Kamo Kenji's face suddenly changed, and Zenin Naohito's face also froze slightly.
Gojo Satoru, the six-eyed son of the Gojo family, who changed the entire world of incantations from the moment he was born, has been watching the growth of Rokugan as the head of the Zenin family. When he learned that the technique he possessed was the ancestral technique of the Gojo family - No Lower Limit, he felt as if a stone had fallen to the ground.
He understood that from now on, the balance between the Gojo, Kamo and Zenin families would no longer exist. The Gojo family, with Gojo Satoru, was like a mountain, pressing heavily on the Zenin family, which did not have the Ten Shadow Techniques, and the Kamo family, which did not have the Red Blood Technique.
This is also the reason why the Zenin family has become closer to the Kamo family in recent years.
And there was also that special-grade sorcerer, Geto Suguru, who was born into a common family, mastered an extremely powerful spell manipulation technique, and got along very well with the Rokugan...
"Why are they here?! Just because a classmate is injured?!" Before Zenin Naobi could figure out the cause and effect, Kamo Kenshi grabbed his subordinate's shoulders, shook him hard, and said these words.
"This...this..." The subordinate who was held tightly was at a loss and couldn't utter a single sentence.
"Wouldn't it be faster to ask Laozi and Jie directly about this question?"
Along with the wanton and ostentatious words, the door shattered, and two tall and thin figures appeared at the door - they were Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru!
"So it's Gojo-kun and Getsuyu-kun." Zenin Naobito remained as still as a mountain and calmly expressed his neutral attitude.
Gojo Satoru ignored the friendliness of the Zenin no Naobi people and just leaned against the broken door, looking at the people in the room who had just woken up from a dream - there were senior executives of the general management department, people from the Kamo family, people from the Zenin family, maids serving, and boys serving dishes.
"Gojo Satoru, why did you bring Geto Suguru to trespass into the general directorate meeting?" Kamo Kenshi angrily questioned Gojo Satoru after he ignored him. "It's okay for you to be from the Gojo family, but Geto Suguru is not from your Gojo family!"
Being treated so contemptuously, Geto Suguru remained silent for a rare occasion. He just kept a stern face and, with the help of his skill of releasing cursed spirits, moved his hands behind his back with a subtle and imperceptible cursed force.
"Hey, old men, it seems like you're doing pretty well. You're asking such silly questions. Don't you really know why we're here?"
Looking at the various old oranges in front of him, dancing and singing, the white-haired, blue-eyed boy's lips gradually straightened and he said in a cold tone, "I don't want to argue with you--"
"The cursed spirit missions assigned to Tokyo Jujutsu High School have repeatedly gone awry, causing serious injuries to my classmates... You must give me an explanation today!"
"Otherwise..." The huge curse power that continued to condense at the fingertips of the white-haired boy and the terrifying curse spirit that gradually appeared behind the black-haired boy beside him formed a huge deterrent.
"You... you... you... are you planning a rebellion? Gojo Satoru?!" Kamo looked at his colleagues surrounded by cursed spirits behind him and asked fearfully, "What are you going to do?!"
"Of course it's to seek justice!" Xia Yujie said with a smile, and moved the cursed spirit closer to this group of scum.
"Well, I was just stating my needs normally. I didn't expect you to assume so much of me..." Gojo Satoru's expression remained unchanged. After destroying the Japanese-style room with a single blow from Cang, he said, "You're really adding insult to injury!"
It's actually pretty close to what Aurora said...
Geto Suguru walked behind Gojo Satoru, looking at the so-called high-ranking officials in the world of sorcery who were in high positions and powerful but now looked like dogs that had lost their homes. He felt that a certain longing in his heart, or the concept he had established for a long time, was slowly collapsing.
Can such high-ranking figures in the world of sorcery really provide great help to sorcerers in their work?
He couldn't help but have such doubts in his mind.
**
Just now...
While Zaochun Xiaokui and Ikeda Riku were removing the curse, the player, having confirmed that both NPCs were willing to join, coughed lightly twice and proposed the first step of the 'rat catching' plan to the interested Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
Player: "Part One of the plan. First... we have to keep the matter of Sakura Kokui and Ikeda Riku a secret. We can't let anyone in the General Manager's Office know of their existence."
"Why is that?" Xia Yujie asked in confusion, "The removal of the curse between Miss Early Spring and Miss Ikeda is nearing completion. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be completed smoothly.
"For a prospective sorcerer with such great potential for magical power, the General Directorate will only choose to recruit him, right?"
Why do you have to go to such great lengths to hide it from the people in the general directorate?
Player: “…”
Players can't say that they want to recruit them, right?
"You're really stubborn, Jie. They have a close relationship with Ye Shan who turned into a cursed spirit. If someone is really behind what happened to Aurora, then they must know about the existence of Zaochun and Ikeda..."
Gojo Satoru broke off a fallen leaf and casually pinned it to the tree trunk along with the insects. He said nonchalantly, "If Zaochun and Ikeda are discovered here, even if the assistant supervisor outside is from the Gojo family, those who are secretly trying to make trouble will definitely notice something is wrong and send people to investigate or clean up the scene."
"Even those two high school students might be targeted to prevent the scandal from being exposed."
Gojo Satoru lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "The more complicated a family is, the more twists and turns there are. I'm used to this kind of thing."
By the way, Wu was born into the Gojo family, and he does know a lot about the affairs of such a large family... But Wu always makes people forget this in their daily lives.
When Geto Suguru saw Gojo Satoru rolling around on the ground without even maintaining his serious posture for three seconds, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Well, Gojo is right. We're actually doing this to avoid alerting the enemy." The player shook his finger and continued, "Even though they're targeting me, this mission isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least... this is an opportunity to catch the rat!"
"So... for the second step of the plan, it's your turn to show your skills!" The player took out a small board and drew three cartoon characters on it to represent himself, Gojo Satoru, and Geto Suguru.
"This white, unidentified object... isn't it referring to me?" Gojo Satoru asked hesitantly, looking at the golden, white, and black masses on the board. "I'm the unrivaled, unstoppable, and unstoppable handsome man in the universe!!!"
How could you draw me in such a way that would make anyone with six eyes shudder?!
"At least Aurora treats everyone equally." Xia Yujie looked at the most sloppy-looking golden ball with a heavy tone.
He also felt that it was a bit eye-catching, but... all three were so ugly, so Aurora's painting skills must have only reached this level, right?
Don't hit her anymore...
"I know you can't appreciate my art, so don't mind such insignificant details!" Under the praise of Marco, Chiara, Kyoko, Koharu and others, the player who liked his own paintings more and more was pleasing to the eye, waved his hand, indicating that they should skip this topic and start the next step of the planned explanation.
"I absolutely will not admit that something so obvious it's easy to lose your sanity is art!" Gojo Satoru stood up angrily and shouted, "I'd rather be a stick figure up there!"
