Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 364 Meeting
One thousand four hundred and thirty-two.

This was the largest group of new students that Curse High School had ever recruited after numerous rounds of selection. However, with the experience from the last time, this time it was relatively smooth, and a convoy was arranged to take all the students to Tokyo Curse High School.

With the help of several assistant supervisors who stayed on campus and are now the school's counselors, a large group of freshmen, mostly young people, entered the rebuilt Tokyo Metropolitan Technical High School of Jutsu.

Amid countless eyes that were either curious, excited... but all full of expectations for this school, Kamiyama Ena and a few friends she had just met formed a small group and followed the crowd's guidance to the school auditorium.

The first impression that Kamiyama Ena had of this school was that it had charm, probably due to the environment and architectural style. If she didn't know it in advance, she would have believed it even if she was told that this was actually a large shrine.

"Eina, do you think we will be sorted into different houses by some magical means like Harry Potter?"

The several pretty girls around Kamiyama Ena were friends she met when they gathered in Tokyo after passing the assessment. Naturally, she received many exclamations when she was recognized at first. Although taking photos was not allowed, the autographs kept coming for a while.

And Kamiyama Ena soon gained the favor of others with her kind and lively personality. In the same circle, she quickly got to know several girls and became friends with them.

Now, hearing the fantastic speculations of these imaginative girls, you can tell that they do sound somewhat similar. They are both supernatural powers, and both were previously unknown to the public.

However, in reality, those extraordinary beings took the initiative to reveal their tracks and began to recruit students on a comprehensive basis. Although they did not enroll through the method of owl delivery, that method of assessment was equally good.

But Kamiyama Ena felt that this school would not be like that. She still remembered the people she met when recording the show. She might never forget those bright eyes. If she remembered correctly, their name was "Shingenichi"... She wondered if she could see them here this time.

"The Sorting Hat probably won't be there, but judging by the content of the test, they might continue to use those cursed spirits to conduct some kind of test."

When they thought of the strange creature called Curse Spirit that they saw in the cage during the assessment, even though they had passed the test and were quite brave, other emotions such as nausea still emerged involuntarily.

"Eh - I feel like those cursed spirits are just like cockroaches and rats. I just want to kill them right away."

The person next to him immediately joked, "Wow, aren't you afraid of cockroaches and rats? I'll catch a few for you to play with then~"

The topic of several people suddenly changed to something else. They didn't even have much fear of monsters like curse spirits. However, if one asked whether there were any freshmen who were extremely afraid of curse spirits, there were of course some, and such freshmen were not unable to gain a foothold in the world of curse.

Not to mention that cursed spirits look scary, but actually killing them a few times might be a practical solution to get rid of this fear. Secondly, even if it is impossible to face cursed spirits, the current curse world also needs that kind of behind-the-scenes logistics personnel, and the gap is not small.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, there will still be people whose qualifications and magical powers are not enough to support them to become curse-exorcists. They will take up "civilian" positions that do not require combat and require less strength.

For example, if Ye Mo Zhengdao's Curse Skeleton Technology wants to produce Curse Skeletons on a larger scale, how long will it take for him to do it alone? Naturally, forming an assembly line industrial chain is the best choice.

The minimum requirement for creating a cursed skeleton is to be able to harness even a tiny bit of cursed power. In the future, the world of curse will need not only sorcerers on the battlefield, but those with mediocre qualifications will also have their place.

"arrive."

Kamiyama Ena reminded them that they had already arrived at their destination with the freshmen. It was a very large building with only one floor, but it was quite tall. It was probably used as an auditorium.

The freshmen entered the stadium in an orderly manner. Then Kamiyama Ena heard some commotion coming from the team in front. After she went in and had a view inside, she understood why there was such a commotion.

Because at this moment there was already a group of men and women of similar age in the auditorium. There were not so many of them, but they were wearing the same dark blue uniforms and the looks they gave them were very oppressive.

It's like... a group of old students are looking at a group of people who have just stepped into this new environment. That kind of calmness and curiosity is the look down of the older ones on the newcomers. There is no doubt that these people are the students who entered this magic school earlier than them.

"Line up, separate men and women, quick!"

Under the command, more than a thousand freshmen quickly and neatly lined up in the auditorium. Their eyes then naturally fell on the podium in front of everyone. Just as everyone gradually began to move from silence to a little noise, a crisp sound of footsteps rang out.

Under everyone's attention, a tall man with long hair tied into a bun, wearing loose black clothes, with a faint smile on his face and narrow eyes walked to the front of the stage from behind the scenes.

With each step he took, along with the crisp sound of the wooden floor being stepped on, it seemed that some invisible pressure fell on everyone's hearts with his footsteps. Soon, this man stopped in the center of the podium, but strangely, he did not speak, and the position he stood in seemed to be slightly offset from the center, as if... he had reserved a main seat in front of him.

"Why hasn't it started yet? What is this person waiting for?"

Just as everyone was surprised, they suddenly felt a flash before their eyes, and a figure appeared on the podium. Under the gaze of more than a thousand people, such an incredible thing immediately ignited their emotions.

"It's him!"

Kamiyama Ena's eyes lit up. The man on the podium with white hair, blue eyes, and black earrings, whose presence and temperament were more prominent than his appearance, was the Yin-Yang... no, the sorcerer she met on the last show!
"Shenyuanyi..."

"Quiet!"

The one who spoke was the man with the black bun on the podium. As soon as he finished speaking, the lecture hall fell silent. What made his words so powerful was not his status as a high-ranking official in the school or the unspoken sense of oppression.

Instead, a snow-white figure suddenly appeared behind him on the stage, with white clothes, white hair, and white eyes... That female figure floating in the air with her whole body made up of various shades of white, just at the first sight, people present would not regard her as a human being.

Without a doubt - a cursed spirit.

After the appearance of the white figure that looked absolutely beautiful apart from its inhuman qualities, everyone, whether they were surprised, excited, or had any other emotions, all sank into the bottomless abyss at this moment, and they were like the calm mirror-like surface of the water at the top, without any fluctuations.

It was this magical and strange change that caused their emotional turmoil to stop abruptly, as if they were all injected with tranquilizers. This incomprehensible method was naturally the supernatural power - magic. Xia Yujie used the snow woman to suppress all the emotions of these freshmen. The sudden contrast not only made them calm down immediately, but also gave them a preliminary glimpse of the magnificent scene of the magic world.

"Everyone..."

With the manuscript written by Riko, Kamigata Genichi easily completed his speech at the freshman ceremony and introduced himself and Geto Suguru to them. For the next half to a month, the two of them would be in charge of school affairs until Gojo Satoru and others came back on their shifts.

But this does not mean that they only need to stay in school. If any high-level curse incident occurs near Tokyo, where Juuko is the center, they will also need to solve it.

There was a shortage of manpower, and even Kujuku Yuki, who had been wandering around, was called back again. In fact, she came back on her own almost when the curse was truly revealed.

But the role she can play alone, even at a special level, in the overall situation is very limited. However, this shortage of manpower situation will probably be initially resolved soon.

People like Kei and Yuji now actually have the ability to exorcise the curse. They only need to take a small number of courses in school, and the rest can be turned into practical classes.

Among these new recruits, together with the previous batch of freshmen, there are actually some gifted candidates. Even according to the reports of teachers like Mingming who are in charge of admissions and examinations, the few who stand out among the freshmen may have the potential to reach the special grade.

Presumably, it won't be long before a new group of spellcasters who can deal with low-level curses will emerge. To put it cruelly, now that curses are endless, it is a good time to train these new generation of spellcasters.

The freshman ceremony ended quickly. Shen Yuanyi was not the type of person who could talk about an empty topic for an hour or two. After explaining some general things to the freshmen, he talked about the teachers who would be in charge of their first class.

"Soon... soon..."

----

How terrifying is the six-eyes and no-limits at full firepower?

With the ability to directly observe traces of curses and the mobility to teleport over a large area, Gojo Satoru used to patrol like this in the past, find those high-level curses, and then descend from the sky to exorcise them.

In fact, if some of the curses did not appear in urban communities, Gojo Satoru could probably improve his efficiency a lot more. Many curses that other magicians thought were difficult to deal with were just a flash of lightning for him, followed by the death of the person or the oncoming enemy.

Just like those cursed spirits born in the sparsely populated suburbs, he usually takes the destructive impact while the Heavenly Cangjiahe makes it impossible for the cursed spirits to escape. Among the cursed spirits he is responsible for exorcising, only two or three out of ten can survive this "greeting gift" and need to be finished off.

One Gojo Satoru is worth countless teams of sorcerers. He is highly mobile, highly lethal, and has built-in reconnaissance capabilities. He doesn't even need to worry about the consumption of his spell power. If it weren't for the fact that he still needs rest on the mental level, Gojo Satoru would probably become the most perfect spell machine.

“H——”

The red ball of light suddenly burst out with a dazzling beam of light. In an instant, it shot out from the sky and pierced through the cursed spirit hidden on the ground. Then Liuyan saw that the cursed spirit was not completely destroyed, but was trying to escape.

Gojo Satoru in the air trembled, then slowly disappeared in the air, followed by a loud bang. The rock and soil on the ground instantly surged like waves. After seeing that there was no one around, he chose the most violent and direct method.

The cursed spirit lost its hiding place and emerged in a panic from the falling dirt and rocks. It was a beast-like cursed spirit with a strong breath and armored four legs.

"Cang."

The blue cursed energy glowed and spread. The cursed spirits affected by it could no longer control their bodies and were pulled towards Gojo Satoru while wailing under the horrible tearing force.

Snapped--

After killing the cursed spirit, the wailing sound disappeared. Just as Gojo Satoru was about to leave for the next place, he suddenly heard a light sound of footsteps coming from the woods not far away.

Gojo Satoru's eyes narrowed. Although it was just a cursory inspection, the person who could evade his six-eye vision just now was not something that any small fry could do.

So... this is a trap?
"Don't be nervous, Master Gojo, I don't mean any harm."

A very strange person came out. He looked like an ordinary person and the cursed power on his body was only at the level of ordinary people, but there was another unusual power inside his body.

It was like... something was parasitic in the body of this ordinary person. The essential difference between the two sides highlighted this phenomenon, and he seemed to have heard Yuan Yi talk about such an existence.

"Kensuo?"

Although he asked in a questioning tone, Gojo Satoru was basically certain that it was that guy. While locking onto him, his six eyes then scanned the surroundings at a 360-degree angle, carefully checking to see if there was any ambush.

"I came to see you alone."

Not only did Nozomi's words fail to reassure Gojo Satoru, but they made him even more alert.

"Oh? You figured out my whereabouts and used a cursed spirit to lure me here. Most importantly, you probably don't know the source of this incident. What on earth is the reason why you took so much trouble to come to me?"

Luosuo spread his hands to indicate that he meant no harm, and his smile made it seem as if the tense atmosphere didn't exist.

"I saw you just to show you a truth, a truth that concerns you and even everything. Gojo Satoru, have you never wondered why... there is a person like him who breaks all the rules?"
