The corners of King's mouth turned up slightly.

"At least this proves that Erythropaeolus still has value, right?"

"Ah."

Yoshinobu Rakuganji nodded, unusually agreeing with King's words.

"In that case, I hope that when Principal Yoshinobu Rakuganji goes back, he can talk to the other senior members about this and make them understand the value of Yuta Otsukoshi."

King slowly moved his head, bringing his mouth close to Yoshinobu Rakuganji's ear, and whispered...

"You know, I'm on the side of my students, and I'm not the only one on their side."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Gojo Satoru.

Yoshinobu Rakuganji could clearly sense the threat in King's words, but at this moment he had no power to resist.

King is a monster, a monster that the world of sorcery cannot afford to offend.

Chapter 185: The New Problem Student, Fushiguro Megumi

More than half a year has passed since the exchange conference between the two universities.

After defeating the two-school exchange tournament, Yoshinobu Rakuganji's attitude towards King and Yuta Otsuki has undergone a complete change.

He witnessed firsthand how Yuta Etotsu had trained a top-tier cursed spirit to be completely obedient, which made Yoshinobu Rakuganji realize that Rika could indeed be used as a weapon in the world of cursed arts.

Therefore, from then on, Yoshinobu Rakuganji changed his stance, from initially actively advocating for the execution of Yuta Otsukoshi to canceling Yuta Otsukoshi's death sentence.

And with his guarantee, Yuta Etoguchi transformed from someone initially 'cursed by a special-grade cursed spirit' into a powerful 'special-grade sorcerer'.

Not only that, but there is also pressure from King, so the higher-ups in the sorcery world dare not act rashly now.

After becoming a top-tier sorcerer, Yuta Ekiku stayed at the school for a few more months, preparing for his upcoming trip abroad on another mission.

On the Onmyoji side, Tsuchimikado Arima was overjoyed to learn that Ishigami Yuto had been defeated by King, and the entire Onmyoji Company regarded King as an unparalleled hero.

This made Tsuchimikado Arima even more certain that King truly was the one who could break the prophecy.

Meanwhile, King has been spending the last six months leading his students in studying at the Jujutsu High School. Adashino Benio and Enmado Rokuro's strength has greatly improved, and they can be said to have surpassed the Twelve Heavenly Generals.

As for Yuria Nibutō, she has now become a top-notch sorcerer, thus fulfilling her wish.

Although Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana did not join the Spellcasting Academy, under King's guidance, they reached a basic level of Spellcaster/Onmyoji, capable of handling most Spellcasting Spirits. Furthermore, King used his status and power in the Spellcasting and Onmyoji communities to obtain several very powerful Spell Tools, which he gave to the two of them, enhancing their strength.

During this time, King and his companions did not encounter any powerful enemies, and their lives gradually became peaceful.

Today, King received a call early in the morning from Gojo Satoru, who came to the Jujutsu High School to pick up someone.

Good morning, Teacher King.

King arrived at the school gate and saw that Gojo Satoru had already arrived, accompanied by a boy with short, spiky black hair and a cold expression.

He was thin and looked to be about the same age as Rokuro Enmado.

"His name is Fushiguro Megumi. He's a child I helped out. He's transferring to our school now, and he's already been rated as a Level 2 Spellcaster right from the start."

"A level two sorcerer?"

King said that although he didn't really understand the difference between different levels of sorcerers, he seemed to be considered quite powerful among sorcerers.

At this moment, Fushiguro Megumi raised her head, her slightly indifferent gaze falling on King's face.

King was also watching him; he had previously heard the name Fushiguro Megumi from Gojo Satoru.

He is the son of Vököshère.

His original name was Zenin Jinji. He was born into the Zenin family, one of the three great families, and was killed by a sorcerer. Because he lacked magical power, he was discriminated against by his family and left the Zenin family to marry into the Fushiguro family.

Like Zenin Maki now, Fukuro Jinji was affected by the Heavenly Curse, which caused him to be born without any magical power despite being born into a family of sorcerers. In return, Jinji gained an unparalleled strong physique and super athletic talent, and his five senses were also greatly enhanced. Because the Curse's enhancement was so thorough, his eyesight was exceptional and his physical strength was terrifying.

However, he can still see the curse, and it doesn't matter if he stuffs the cursed spirit into his stomach. He has completely abandoned the power of the curse, but instead gained the ability to resist the curse, making him an even rarer being among the rare Heavenly Curses.

Among the many cases of being bound by the Heavenly Curse, Shinji is an extremely special one. Compared to Zenin Maki's Heavenly Curse, which has dropped to the level of an ordinary person, Shinji's curse power is zero. This makes curse power perception and other methods completely ineffective against him. He can freely enter and exit the high-level barrier without triggering an alarm.

He once cornered Gojo Satoru and almost killed him—but it was at this moment that Gojo Satoru mastered the Reversal Technique and became the strongest being.

In the end, Gojo Satoru killed Fushiguro Jinji, but before his death, the latter entrusted his son to Gojo Satoru's disposal. However, Gojo Satoru chose to support Fushiguro Megumi.

Due to the influence of his father's early death and the Zenin family lineage, Fushiguro Megumi initially disagreed with his destiny to become a sorcerer. However, after his older sister, Tsumiki, was cursed and fell into a deep sleep, he began to question the fact that "good people who deserve happiness do not receive their due," and thus realized that the world was unfair.

Furthermore, in exchange for healing for her sister from the sorcery world, Megumi resolved to become a sorcerer in order to create a world where more good people could equally enjoy happiness.

As he inherited the "Ten Shadow Techniques" of the Zen family, he was able to be rated as a Level 2 Spellcaster when he first entered the school.

"However, Teacher King is also a problem child."

Gojo Satoru said to King with a smile.

"I can tell."

Kin nodded. He noticed the coldness in Fushiguro Megumi's eyes, something that a sixteen-year-old boy shouldn't have.

That cold and mature feeling was somewhat similar to that of the previous Adashino Benio.

"I'll leave it to you, Teacher King, then."

"Hey, you're not going to get involved, are you?"

"By the way, Teacher King, there's something else I need to ask you for help with."

The smile on Gojo Satoru's face vanished, replaced by an extremely serious expression.

"Could you please go and visit Hui's sister?"

After spending time together, Gojo realized that King's healing ability was beyond the realm of reversal techniques, and that it might be able to save Fushiguro Megumi's older sister, Fushiguro Miki.

After he finished speaking, Fushiguro Megumi also raised his head, his eyes filled with a hint of longing.

"Okay, let's go."

King nodded as well.

......

Upon arriving at the Specialized Hospital for Cursed Arts, King went to the ward where Fushiguro Miki was.

At this moment, Fushiguro Miki was lying in the hospital bed, wearing a respirator and with a tube connected to a pillow in her hand, receiving nutrient solution to keep her alive.

Fushiguro Miki is currently in a vegetative state, unconscious, and maintaining her life requires a lot of expenses, which is beyond the reach of a sixteen-year-old boy. That's why Fushiguro Megumi chose to join the Jujutsu Academy to get its help.

What's wrong with her?

King asked.

“One night when Tsumiki was in her third year of junior high school, she went to Hachijo Bridge with two classmates and was subsequently cursed and fell into a coma—just like the victims all over the country.”

Fushiguro Megumi spoke slowly, her eyes seemingly filled with anger.

"Victims across the country?"

King muttered to himself, "If this is happening all over the country, then it can't be explained by coincidence."

"Because she is under a curse, the reversal spell is useless. I wonder if you, Teacher King, have the ability to save her."

Gojo Satoru said slowly.

"I'll give it a try."

As King spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on Fushiguro Miki's body:

"reply!"

When King used this ability, the memories belonging to Fushiguro Miki also surfaced in his mind.

"how's it going?"

"I can't believe it," Fushiguro asked anxiously.

"Sorry, it didn't work."

King slowly lowered his hand, shook his head, and said...

"Her body was not injured, and there was nothing I could do."

King's healing ability can change a person's status, but it is limited to physical status.

However, Fushiguro Miki's problem is not her body, but the curse, so even healing skills are useless.

"Just as I thought..."

Fushiguro Megumi lowered her head, her expression filled with disappointment.

"However, I've made a discovery."

Just then, King slowly spoke, clearly remembering the scenes he had witnessed in Miki Fushiguro's memories.

“I saw a man, his face was unclear, but through your sister’s eyes I could see a clear suture line on his forehead.”

"Sutures?"

At this moment, Gojo Satoru frowned slightly, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Fushiguro Megumi was racking his brains, because in his memory there was no one with stitches on their head.

Who exactly is this person? And what is his purpose?

"That's all we know for now. Fushiguro Miki fell into a coma after just seeing that person, so it's obvious that person was behind it."

King stood up straight and said...

"If we find that person, we might be able to find the key to breaking the curse."

"I don't know what his purpose is, but it's very necessary to pay close attention to him."

"However, we have limited intelligence right now, and it would be unwise to act rashly. Let's go back to school first."

......

After the two escorted Fushiguro Megumi to her dormitory and introduced her to the school, Gojo Satoru led King into the corridor.

"By the way, the reason I called Teacher King here today is to tell you a few things."

Just then, Gojo Satoru said to King.

"Hmm, what is it?"
