"Is this mission for a school?"
Megumi diligently read through the request handed to him by Ieiri Kiyotaka.
Although he was now in a high position, Ieiri Kiyotaka and Nitta Akari would still personally arrange missions related to Tokyo Jujutsu High.
On one hand, it was out of care for the Tokyo Jujutsu High students. They were still children, and it was better for him to personally oversee the missions assigned to them.
On the other hand, handling these missions allowed him to return to Tokyo Jujutsu High frequently.
Mission Location: Sugisawa Third High School, Miyagi Prefecture.
Mission Content: Exorcise Cursed Spirits that have recently appeared on campus.
Note: Due to the Cursed Spirits rarely appearing during the day, their exact strength cannot be accurately determined, but they are estimated to be between Grade 2 and Grade 1.
"I accept this mission."
"I will arrange for an Assistant Supervisor to take you there."
Ieiri Kiyotaka nodded.
He was not worried about Megumi's safety.
After all, Megumi was already a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer. He could even fight a Special Grade and directly exorcise weaker Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
The reason for assigning this mission to Megumi, a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, was partly because Megumi was nearby, and partly because the Window could not accurately determine the strength of the Cursed Spirits, so it requested the deployment of at least a Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer for the exorcism mission.
That was why Ieiri Kiyotaka came to Megumi, a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
After all, when Ieiri Kiyotaka was a first-year student, he encountered a situation where Haibara nearly died due to incorrect information from the Window...
Sugisawa Third High School, Paranormal Research Club activity room.
Itadori Yuji and his two seniors were confronting the student council president with full aura.
The reason for the confrontation was that the student council president had come to reclaim the Paranormal Research Club's activity room.
The reason given was that the club had not held any meaningful activities for a long time.
Junior high and high school extracurricular activities in Japan were very rich, with clubs being a huge and important part.
But even with a wide variety of clubs and relaxed management, they could not just be formed at will.
After all, a school's resources were ultimately limited, and clubs that did not hold activities or had no practical meaning were regularly cleared out, with their activity rooms and resources given to other clubs.
"We've been holding activities properly, don't underestimate your seniors."
"What activities?"
The student council president looked at Itadori Yuji with suspicious eyes.
Itadori Yuji and his group laughed triumphantly.
"Do you know about the rugby field that was closed a while ago?"
"Yes, because some players experienced discomfort on the field, so it was temporarily closed."
Hearing the student council president's words, Itadori Yuji and his group's smiles grew even more triumphant.
Then, under the student council president's speechless expression, the group went from the players' physical conditions to strange sounds on the field, from the school's construction thirty years ago to missing construction workers...
After half a day of extensive deduction, the three concluded.
The reason players on the rugby field felt unwell was due to the malevolent spirits at the location.
"No, it's because of ticks."
Looking at the three triumphant individuals in front of him, the student council president, who finally found an opportunity to interject, ruthlessly stated the fact.
The three instantly turned to stone.
"Ultimately, the most important problem is you, Itadori!"
The student council president turned and pointed at Itadori Yuji.
"Huh?"
Itadori Yuji pointed at himself strangely, seemingly not understanding why the blame had suddenly shifted to him.
"You are not even a member of the Paranormal Research Club! The Paranormal Research Club doesn't meet the minimum requirement of three members for a club!"
Click.
Itadori Yuji froze, and the two seniors behind him gave him looks as if he were a traitor.
"Me, not a member of the Paranormal Research Club?"
This feeling was like attending classes in a classroom for a year, and then the homeroom teacher suddenly told you that you belonged to the class next door.
"That's right, you're a member of the track and field club!"
Thud.
With a dull thud, Takagi, the sports teacher and track and field advisor at Third High, who had unilaterally altered Itadori Yuji's club application and reminded one of an old bull, appeared.
'It's over, a teacher even more abnormal than these students has appeared.'
The student council president was instantly pushed back by the aura of the two, and at the same time, could not help but complain inwardly.
After striking down Teacher Takagi to the point of questioning his life with his physical prowess, which was even more absurd than a gorilla's, Itadori Yuji once again applied to rejoin the Paranormal Research Club.
The reason was that Third High required students to join a club, and Itadori Yuji needed to leave early to take care of his grandfather in the hospital.
The Paranormal Research Club's activities were mostly in the evening, allowing him to leave early, and the senior of the club also said he could leave whenever he wanted after school.
"Oh, right."
Before leaving, Itadori Yuji reached into his backpack and rummaged around.
"Here, this is for you."
Itadori Yuji handed Sasaki a strange box.
"I found it today. I thought you'd like it, so I kept it."
"Nani Nani?"
Sasaki curiously opened the wooden box and found a strange object covered in talismans.
"I see, this indeed has a very eerie atmosphere, thank you."
Before Ozawa could finish speaking, Itadori Yuji ran off.
Meanwhile, Megumi, who had just arrived at Third High, was investigating the Cursed Spirits on campus.
Suddenly, Megumi turned around as if he had been electrocuted.
'Such dense curses. What's wrong with that boy? Is he cursed?'
The moment the two brushed past each other, Megumi felt an extremely terrifying cursed aura.
'I can't just leave it be.'
Having made up his mind, Megumi decided to first deal with the curse on the pink-haired boy.
There was still some time until sunset, so the Cursed Spirits at the school could wait.
After all, there were too many students here now, and he could not use Jujutsu in front of so many people.
Moreover, Cursed Spirits were not active during the day, especially in crowded places.
Therefore, dealing with the curse on the boy as quickly as possible, and then returning to the school at night to exorcise the curses within the school, was the most reasonable method to save everyone.
However, as Megumi chased, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
'So fast, and when he threw the shot put earlier too, this person's physical strength is incredible.'
Megumi unconsciously began to compare Itadori Yuji to his father.
Ever since Toji had saved Tsumiki, Megumi's perception of him had improved significantly.
At least he no longer constantly felt rebellious toward his father.
'He's still not as strong as him.'
Although he concluded that his father was stronger, the most important problem remained unsolved.
That was, he simply could not catch up to the pink-haired boy in front of him.
Watching Itadori Yuji disappear around the corner, Megumi helplessly called an Assistant Supervisor, preparing to chase by car.
