Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 327: Tiger Stick and Ordinary Farewell

"You know me and my grandfather?"

It seemed that Yuji Itadori found it difficult to believe what Kamigō said about his acquaintance with their family. After all, Itadori believed that he would never forget the latter's appearance if he had seen him. However, when he heard that it was when he was still a child, he became skeptical.

"You'll find out if you go see your grandfather."

When Shingenichi was discussing with Yuji about enrolling in Juu High School, he heard that his grandfather seemed to be ill and was in the hospital. He was not young anymore, and the hospital had even issued a notice of critical illness.

The illness is not a serious one, but a mixture of various old and new illnesses, and the old man's body can't bear it. Yuji Itadori's father is often busy with work, and his mother has not been in this family since he can remember. It can be said that his grandfather has taken care of him more since he was a child.

The filial Yuji wanted to take care of his grandfather for the last period of time before accepting the invitation to step into the world of sorcery, even though that was the "supernatural" world he had been pursuing for a long time. But at this point, Yuji was not so eager.

There was no need for Shingenichi to refuse Yuji's filial request. The admission to Juu High School was not that demanding, and according to their next plan, even if Yuji postponed his admission, he would not be too late.

It just so happened that Kamigawa Genichi was also planning to take this opportunity to go meet the old man with Itadori. He had met him once in the past for Itadori Kaori, the noose that occupied his body, and although he still cared about the Itadori family, he had never seen them again.

Now that Itadori Yasuke's grandson is going to be "kidnapped" into the world of sorcery, he should at least tell his family. Moreover, Itadori Yasuke had shown some knowledge of the existence of sorcery at the beginning. According to Itadori Yuji's description of his grandfather, the old man probably wouldn't have much objection to Itadori joining the world of sorcery.

……

A single room in a hospital.

Yuji's family is not very rich, but it is also a well-off family. At least they can prepare a better environment for the dying elderly.

When Kamigawa Genichirō and Yuji Itadori arrived at the hospital where his grandfather was and walked into the ward, before Yuji Itadori could introduce himself, the person in the room who turned around met their eyes.

"you……"

The elegant man with glasses who looked 80% similar to Yuji Itadori had a changed expression. Yuji Itadori, Yuji's father, there was no way he could forget the man in front of him, even though he knew rationally that Kaori's death was not his fault.

But humans are not machines or AI, and it is impossible for Jin Itadori to express all his emotions rationally, so he hates himself and also hates Kyujuku Yuki and Kamigata Genichi. However, it may be an exaggeration to say that he hates them. It is probably more of a despair of being powerless to do anything about it.

Now seeing one of them appear in front of him, how could Jin Yuzhang not change color? He just took a look at his son's face and thought that they came to the hospital together, and he seemed to have guessed something.

"…Isn't that enough? Now what else do you want to do to my only son?"

This elegant man rarely showed a serious and fierce expression. His father was about to die, and Yuji Itadori was his only relative, and also the last gift left to him by his wife.

Although Jin Itadori often numb himself with work because he is afraid of missing his father, it does not mean that he does not love his son. In fact, in Yuji Itadori's memory, even though he spent more time with his grandfather, he still received a lot of love from his father.

Now that he saw Shen Genichi approaching Yuji, Yuji Itadori would not be so naive as to think that this was just a coincidence. The Yuji family should have no connection with those beings! There was only one possibility for this situation: his son, Yuji Itadori, was drawn into that dangerous world.

The extremely angry Itadori stood up and was about to drive Shen Genichi away, even though he knew that he was no match for a man with that kind of power, but he would never allow the other party to destroy his broken, last family again.

But after Jin Itadori stood up and took a few steps, he suddenly realized that he did not seem to have closed the distance. Before Yuji Itadori, who was standing next to him, had time to figure out what the conflict was between his father and his future teacher, he was also attracted by this magical scene.

"Ahem... Ren, why don't you retreat!"

Just as Jin Itadori was ready to drive the other party away at all costs, he didn't believe that these people could really be lawless, but at this moment, Itadori Yasuke, who was taking a nap on the hospital bed behind him, woke up at some point, and after coughing weakly twice, he stopped Jin Itadori.

"Father! He..."

Looking at the old man's cloudy but still firm and sharp eyes, Jin Yuzhang lost his temper after a moment, walked to the window and looked at the scene outside in silence.

"I remember you, your name is Shen Yuanyi. I didn't expect that after so many years, your appearance has not changed at all..."

Yuji Itadori glanced at Shingenichi. From what his grandfather said, his teacher was also like this more than ten years ago? Is the spell that Hui mentioned so magical?

General Kamigahara placed the gifts and flowers he brought on the table, and then walked to Itadori Yasuke.

The plain-looking old man seemed to have his own unique wisdom and vision. After turning around to look at his grandson, Itadori Yasuke then looked at Kamiganichi.

"Since you found Yuji, that means this kid has that kind of talent, right?"

Kamiganichi sat down and looked at the old man at eye level. Yuji Itadori wanted to help his grandfather sit up a little, but was refused by the stubborn old man. Then he leaned back and sat up by himself.

"Yes, Hisahito is very talented, you should know a lot about us now, and I am not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush, so I will just say it straight.

This is a talent, but also a curse. Tiger Stick's situation is somewhat special and is related to that guy... But don't worry, we will ensure his safety."

There is no need for Shen Yuanyi to explain the more specific things in detail, this wise old man will naturally understand.

Then, Yuji Yasuke sighed and murmured, "I knew... Hisahito is a naturally talented person. To be honest, I expected this situation."

Yuji Itadori is different from ordinary people, and his grandfather is not a fool. How could he not see that? Especially when he knew about the existence of sorcery, the old man did think that sooner or later Yuji would step into that world.

In this regard, even his or Jin Itadori's will cannot prevent that kind of future, because as Shenyuan said, it is power, talent, and also a curse.

That's why Itadori Yasuke said those words to Hisahito only after he knew that he didn't have much time left. He hoped that if his grandson one day entered the world of sorcery, he would be able to become someone who saves others.

"Kamigenichi... I'll leave my grandson to you. Everyone will die one day. I hope Hisahito won't die powerlessly on the hospital bed like I did. Hisahito, go with peace of mind. Even if you have to die, you should die surrounded by everyone..."

"grandfather……"

Kamiganichi smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man. Hisahito will definitely become the person you hope for in the future, but he won't die so easily. The future world still belongs to young people like them." Although Kamiganichi's words are not much older than Itadori's, it feels natural for him to say this. Just like in Itadori's eyes, there is nothing unusual about the conversation between his grandfather and Kamiganichi.

The old man waved his hand: "Youjin came with you because of me, right? I guess he will wait until he has dealt with my affairs before leaving with you? But it doesn't make much difference. Anyway, I am almost done as an old man..."

"grandfather!"

Yuji Itadori didn't like to hear such words, and Kamigahara, who was standing next to him, also became more interested in this old man who was not shy about the topic of life and death.

"It shouldn't be a problem for you to live a few more years at your age. How about this, as compensation for 'borrowing' your grandson, I have a little trick that can let you live a few more years so that I can handle your funeral affairs myself?"

Yuji Itadori in the house widened his eyes, and even Jin Itadori, who was standing by the window in a huff, turned his head away. However, Itadori Yasuke, the person involved, had a completely different reaction.

"Why live so long? I am content now, old man. Or..."

"Father!"

"grandfather!"

But as sons and continuations of their bloodline, the father and son had different opinions, especially Jin Itadori. To be honest, he was not completely unexpected about his father's sudden health collapse, but it was also very sudden.

Only at this time, as a son, did he feel that he had too little time to accompany his father. Now, when he heard Shen Yuanyi claim that he could extend Yuzhang Wazhu's life, even for two years, no, just one year would be fine! He also wanted to accompany his father for the last time.

"No matter what the cost, can I afford it?"

For this reason, Yuji Jin can also throw away his prejudice against him. If there is any price to pay, it doesn't matter, as long as...

"No, I told you, it's just a little trick."

Shingenichi extended his hand to Itadori Yasuke, who hesitated for a while, but finally sighed in the expectant eyes of his last two relatives and extended his hand.

The Wheel of Time·Inverse

The non-existent wheel of time was quietly turned and reversed. This was the second death that he had reversed or changed with magic in this time and space. Strictly speaking, Kamiganichi only delayed the deaths of Ogata Yugetsu and Itadori Yasuke.

But even at this level, he rarely uses it, and most people don't even know that he can do this.

Life and death cannot be destroyed easily. Perhaps it can be called double standards and selfishness, but Shen Genichi will never allow this kind of power to be used indiscriminately. This is also the case for Itadori Yasuke and others.

But for those who are in power in both the secular world and the world of sorcery, no one can make Shen Yuanyi break this boundary. For this reason, he once said that anyone who dares to try to prolong his life and touch "immortality" in this way, whether in the secular world or the world of sorcery, Shen Yuanyi will personally send them to reincarnation first.

The top leaders in this world are not even allowed to reveal this kind of information. The guys in the world of sorcery at least know the terrifying power of strength, but the idiots in this world are different. This country, which just came out of the 'Age of the Gods', has been caught in the vortex of struggle between its neighbors not far away and its neighbors not far away.

It can be said that the group of guys in the world are basically just the lackeys of the vicious eagle in the distance. Can you expect such people to have any "brains"? If they find out that there is a sorcerer who can extend their lives a lot or even make them immortal.

It would not be surprising if they did anything stupid. In order to avoid trouble and dirtying his hands, which might even ruin his plans, he simply drew a line at the beginning.

Those who cross the line will die.

Of course, all rights of interpretation naturally belong to Shenyuanyi.

----

After solving the problem here with Yuji, the next major issue is closely related to his admission, which is the reform of Juu High School.

To be honest, it is too unreasonable to have only a few students in each grade. Although they are all elites, and some of the pillars of the current sorcery world were born among them, it is more accurate to say that they are discovered rather than born or cultivated.

Elite magicians and even top magicians are of course a very scarce force, the more the better, but middle and lower level magicians are also very scarce. In the past, this kind of force was mostly made up by various magic families and auxiliary supervisors trained separately.

But in Shen Yuanyi's opinion, this method is too bad. The current trend of the times can no longer be filled by this method, so the reform of Zhugao is imperative.

Since the decision has been made to make the spells public, then selecting people with the qualifications to cast spells from across the country is of course also in the plan, and this reform of the spell high school can be regarded as a preliminary attempt to this idea.

With many measures that have never been mentioned in the past, people now have more or less some rumors about the existence of the supernatural, and the government has even set up a relevant department.

But that department is just a facade, a kind of preventive measure, and it does not really involve any spells.

In this case, some "special" students are admitted from all over the country, and any excuse is made. With official endorsement, there is no need to worry about these children and their parents disagreeing.

According to the discussion between Kamigawa Genichi, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru and others, the first attempt, that is, the class of Itadori and Kei, will recruit more than one hundred people, and among them perhaps only a single digit will have the hope of becoming a first-level magician.

But even so, as long as a large number of second- and third-level magicians can be born among them in the future, this land is not big, to be frank, it is just a tiny place, and these one hundred people can be regarded as a considerable force.

And the most important thing is that it shows a possibility, that is, after the spells are made public, whether the middle and lower-level forces in the spell world can cope with the future when the number of curses increases.

This will be a very important outpost in the new era. Hogwarts also knows that it recruits students from all over the world, so why is it afraid when it comes to sorcerers and dare not expand its fresh blood?

Of course, Shen Yuanyi also knew that there must be many people in the past who were unwilling to give up the cake or for other reasons. Expanding the magician group naturally means that those who originally sat on the throne and shared the power are likely to have their food taken away by emerging talents in the future. With the excuse of the cursed characteristics, isn't that exactly what they want?

But isn't everything Shen Yuanyi did just to clear away these obstacles? Under the tide of the times, those who try to stop the chariot with their bare hands will only be crushed to pieces.
