Heaven has bound me to weakness? I angrily unleash the Eight Gates!

With his current physical strength, it is extremely difficult to cultivate even a trace of qi and blood power.

By the time you reach the sixth stage, the training will have completely lost its effectiveness.

Fortunately, he has a cheat code; as long as he has enough cursed spirits, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to continue getting stronger.

After a casual workout, Zenji Shinsuke quickly prepared a simple meal for the two sisters.

A few days later, the college sent a message calling for all the teachers who could attend to hold a meeting.

The discussion concerned the injury of a special-grade cursed spirit that was not recorded within the day.

Zen-in Shinsuke was very interested in this.

A top-tier cursed spirit—I wonder what surprises it will bring him.

Chapter 25 How to Seize the Power of Life and Death over the Cursed Spirit

When Zenji Shinsuke arrived at Tokyo Jujutsu College, most of the teachers had already arrived.

Even some of the teachers from the Kyoto Jujutsu Academy came.

"It's quite a spectacle. Does a Special Grade fighter really need to make such a big fuss?"

Zenji Jinsuke sat down in his seat, somewhat surprised.

Even though a top-tier cursed spirit is powerful, is it really necessary to summon so many people?

"Because this matter involves not only top-tier cursed spirits, but also the cursed mage organization."

Gojo Satoru spoke expressionlessly, even somewhat seriously.

He didn't take the cursed spirits seriously, but when it came to his good brother Xia Youjie, he had to get serious.

Even now, he still harbors the idea of ​​bringing Xia Youjie back.

As long as the other party is willing to come back, he can handle any opposition from higher-ups on his own.

At that moment, Shoko Ieiri pushed in a wheelchair, in which sat Riko Tenten, her body wrapped in bandages.

Tian Tian looked at the sorcerers in the room and greeted them, "I'll have to trouble you this time."

"Uncle? You're here too?"

Upon spotting Zenji Jinsuke, Tenchi suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. Just a few days ago, he was eating at Jinsuke's place, and today he was wrapped up like a dumpling. It was really embarrassing.

"Tsk tsk, little Riko, you still need to practice. It's only been a few days..."

Zenji Shinsuke shook his head as he looked at the horrific scene before him.

However, the fact that it could beat Tian Tian, ​​who was already a level one sorcerer, to such a degree shows that the special-grade curse spirit was quite capable.

"Ahem, Tian Tian, ​​please tell me the details."

Noctua coughed twice and got to today's topic.

Tian Tian glanced at everyone and nodded, saying, "This mission took place in Shibuya. I encountered a curse master... Xia Youjie. When I arrived at the scene, he was fighting that special-grade cursed spirit..."

He recounted his mission experience over the course of the day.

It was originally just a simple exorcism task.

After exorcising the curse, she sensed a powerful fluctuation of cursed energy nearby. Thinking that another cursed spirit was causing trouble, she decided to take care of it as well.

She then saw Xia Youjie fighting a cursed spirit.

Seeing that Xia Youjie had not been able to defeat the opponent in a short time, she judged that the strength of the cursed spirit was at least at the special level.

Thinking that she had originally come out to exorcise the cursed spirit, she planned to take advantage of Xia Youjie's entanglement with the other party while she secretly gathered her strength to deliver a fatal blow to the cursed spirit.

After all, she didn't want that cursed spirit to be subdued by Xia Youjie and contribute to his destruction of the world.

The result can be imagined.

Before she could finish charging up her power, she was discovered by the curse spirit and Xia Youjie.

Then the cursed spirit changed its target and severely injured her. If Xia Youjie hadn't been there, she probably would have been killed.

"To be able to turn the sky upside down like this? It seems this isn't an ordinary top-tier attack."

"Has that cursed spirit been absorbed by Xia Youjie?"

Tian Tian shook his head. "No, it ran away. According to Xia Youjie, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary special-grade one. Its strength is increasing every moment."

"It won't be long before even he is confident of defeating his opponent."

"Xia Youjie values ​​this cursed spirit highly and will probably make another move soon."

The meeting room fell silent.

Although Xia Youjie had become a curse master, everyone knew about his strength.

Even the fact that the opponent couldn't defeat that cursed spirit, even with Tiantian holding them back, is enough to demonstrate the cursed spirit's power.

Is its strength increasing every moment?

Zenji Jinsuke seemed to be deep in thought. Could he be a naturally gifted player like the real person?

This level of top-tier item should provide him with a significant amount of vital energy...

"The key issue now is that we don't know the location of that cursed spirit, nor do we know where Xia Youjie's next battle with it will take place."

If it were to appear in a busy urban area, it would cause enormous panic and losses.

Moth Masamichi revealed the purpose of gathering so many teachers.

Xia Youjie now wishes all non-magicians would die out, so he certainly wouldn't care about the lives of ordinary people.

And as for cursed spirits, that goes without saying.

"Right now, the location of the cursed spirit is most likely still in Shibuya, so everyone's task is to split into groups to explore every place in Shibuya, find the cursed spirit, and exorcise it."

"Five spirits in one group, two level-one mages in another. Once the location of the cursed spirit is discovered, do not rush to act, but inform everyone first."

Moth Masami briefly explained the plan for this trip.

In summary, find the top-tier cursed spirit, focus fire on it and eliminate it quickly to minimize its impact.

Because this trip involves Xia Youjie, and there's a possibility of getting entangled with his forces, all the teachers who could be mobilized were brought here.

"I'll go first, you guys take your time."

After giving instructions, Gojo Satoru got up and walked out, slapping his hand to send himself to a corner of Shibuya. He couldn't wait to see Natsuyuki.

"What an impolite fellow! He doesn't even know how to see his senior off."

Zenji Jinsuke slowly got up and walked outside.

In terms of speed over short distances, he might be faster than Gojo Satoru, but for long-distance teleportation, Gojo Satoru is much faster.

He should just take his time and drive there.

"I'm in a group with Sister Mingming!"

Angeji ran to Mingming's side and took his arm.

Atsuya Kusakabe, who was left, looked at Yaga and was about to speak, but Yaga interrupted him, "I will not participate in this mission."

"This...? Oh dear, Mr. Shinsuke! Wait for me!"

Having no other choice, he could only seek help from Zen-in-Sei Ichiro.

The two don't usually talk much. Looking at each other's faces, he is handsome, but he seems a bit difficult to get along with.

Thinking about it all was useless, so Kusakabe quickly followed Zenin Jinsuke's steps.

If someone is difficult to get along with, so be it; we'll get along better with them over time.

The remaining Moth has already dispatched several level-two sorcerers to Shibuya to assist the group in completing this mission.

"Shin-suke, wait for me!"

Kusakabe finally caught up with Zenin Jinsuke, and was a little out of breath.

"Hmm? Is there something you need, Mr. Kusakabe?"

Zenji Jinsuke looked at Kusakabe with a puzzled expression.

He vaguely remembered this guy; he seemed to have been called the strongest level one.

“Teacher Shenjie, didn’t you hear what Principal Moth said? Level 1 sorcerers are paired up, and you and I are in a pair.”

Kusakabe emphasized the arrangements made for the moths earlier.

"Oh, I see. Nice to meet you."

Zenji Jinsuke realized what was happening and smiled as he extended his hand to shake hands with Kusakabe.

Just now, I was so focused on how to wrest control of the life and death of the cursed spirit from so many people that I didn't pay any attention to what Moth was saying.

His special status is equivalent to that of a level one mage.

"Um... nice to meet you!"

Kusakabe was somewhat stunned by Zenin Jinsuke's reaction, and then quickly reached out his hand.

"Let's go, it's time for us to leave."

“Ah, yes, yes, it’s time to go,” Kusakabe replied.

It seems that Professor Jinsuke is quite easy to get along with, not as serious as he looks.

But... I feel a little nervous around them.

Chapter 26 Super Special Grade!

"Slurp..."

In Shibuya, Zenji Jinsuke and Kusakabe were slurping noodles at a ramen shop.

"Three days have passed and there's still no movement. Could it be that the cursed spirit has already left?"

Kusakabe ate his noodles while making sarcastic remarks.

They searched the area for three days and found not only top-tier cursed spirits, but even a decent one.

There was no movement elsewhere.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Isn't it better to treat this as a short trip on company funds?"

The monk was engrossed in explaining the temple's contents, and since all his expenses for the past few days could be reimbursed, he wasn't in a hurry at all.

In fact, if Kusakabe hadn't been following him around, he would have used public funds to go to high-end places for entertainment.

"That's true. I reckon if we can't find it soon, the higher-ups will have to withdraw the mission. We should take this opportunity to relax."

"By the way, Mr. Jinsuke, I heard you're very interested in powerful cursed spirits. You must really want to find this special-grade cursed spirit, right?"

Kusakabe suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard at school.

Regarding Zen-in-suke, the most profound impression the entire college had of him was... that he was extremely enthusiastic about exorcising powerful cursed spirits.

Rumor has it that Zenji Jinsuke has no magical power, so he is eager to prove himself by defeating a powerful cursed spirit, to prove that even without magical power, he is no weaker than other cursed sorcerers!

"It's alright, I'm just a little curious about how strong a top-tier cursed spirit is."

The Zen monastery was quite casual.

He knew a lot about Special Grade Cursed Spirits, but so far, apart from Xia Youjie's incarnation Tamamo-no-Mae and Rika whom he had seen not long ago, he had never actually seen any other Special Grade Cursed Spirits, let alone fought against them.

"Hey, everyone, can you hear me? Mingming and I have found that top-tier cursed spirit. We've already set up the tent, please... Ah! Oh no! Mingming! Sizzle..."

A voice came from a specially made walkie-talkie on the table, but the two were interrupted by a roaring sound from the other end halfway through the conversation.

"Hey! Diva!?"

Kusakabe's expression instantly turned serious. He had just been saying that they hadn't found it after so long, but unexpectedly, "good news" came right away.

"Shin-suke, we're about to leave! Hmm? Shin-suke?"

By the time Kusakabe realized what was happening, the person beside him had already disappeared.

"Holy crap, is this what you meant by 'a little curious'?" Kusakabe exclaimed in surprise.

However, he didn't have time to sigh too much, and immediately set off for the location where the two songstresses were patrolling.
