Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 382 Threesome

The pink-haired figure was the first to run out of the classroom after class and went straight to the principal's office. He then found the door closed and no one there. In frustration, he did not stop and continued to search this spacious office building.

When he found someone, he went up to ask, but it seemed that every answer he got was not satisfactory to him. Finally, after a fruitless inquiry, he gave up. Then he came to a place dejectedly, where two people were already waiting for him.

"How's it going? Is there any result?"

The pink-haired boy, who was none other than Yuji Itadori, shook his head with a distressed look upon hearing that. Then he looked at the black-haired boy among the other two and asked with some hope in his eyes.

"Megumi, what about you? Can you contact Gojo-sensei and the others?"

As one of Zenin Kei's few good friends, he certainly knew the fact that this good friend with the name of Zenin had a closer relationship with the Gojo family. According to his own account, Kei grew up in the Gojo family. With this kind of relationship, if we were to say who is most confident of contacting that person now, Zenin Kei would probably be one of them.

But Zenin Kei, with a frown on his face, just shook his head at Yuji's expectant look: "After the mission in Tsushima City was completed, Gojo Sensei is said to have returned to the Gojo family, and then he didn't see anyone, and the other teachers couldn't be contacted..."

Both of them fell into silence. There were only a few fixed teachers in the school these past two days. No one else could be found in the school. All the contact methods were useless, and there was no answer when asking the teachers in the school.

"I said……"

Nobara Kugisaki, who was leaning on the side, spoke up. She now wished that she didn't know the news, but the result seemed to have been destined from the beginning. She entered the Jujutsu High School at the same time as the two of them. Although there was no difference strictly speaking, different batches did affect things like the circle.

Besides, her personality also means that she can't get along well with most girls, no matter if they are male or female classmates. There are only a few people in Kugisaki's circle, and then she happened to meet these two. It's okay to meet them, but the key is that now she seems to be involved in something serious.

Although things of that level have little to do with them, if the sky falls, there will naturally be tall people to hold it up. Does it mean that she is the one who saves the world? Then everyone else is useless...

But this incident had a huge impact on Yuji and Kei, so Kugisaki was caught in a dilemma. If she took care of it, did she and Yuji really have the ability to do it? If she didn't care, she couldn't just watch the two take risks and do nothing.

"So, it would be fine if I didn't know them, but unfortunately... in the words of the East Country, this is a bad fate. I can only think of a way, but... it's so difficult! Shouldn't the adults worry about this kind of thing? If they can't be found, they must have solved it. Why do I, a student, have to come up with a solution?"

Kugisaki Nobara's thoughts were in a mess at the moment. She pulled a few strands of her hair in annoyance, suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind and continued, "Let me be frank. The only student who can participate is Senior Otsutsuki. If we look for him..."

Yuji's expression was happy for a moment, but then dimmed again: "It seems that Otsutsuki-senpai is not in school either."

Kugisaki waved his fist in anger and said in a self-destructive tone: "I don't care. Gojo has chosen to hide. What else can we do?"

"Do not……"

At this time, Zenin Hui on the side suddenly said: "I know a way to find Senior Otsukoshi with a high probability."

They both looked at him at the same time.

……

"We just skipped classes and came here to find an ordinary girl, and then we can find that Otsutsuki-senpai?"

Normally, Kugisaki might have gossiped about the relationship between Otsutsuki-senpai and the girl mentioned by Kei, but she was in no mood at the moment. God knows, she just wanted to live in a big city, and she came to the technical high school because she inherited the curse from her grandmother.

The best she would want in her lifetime is to reach the quasi-first-level magician level. Then she would complete missions to earn some money, go out to eat and drink, and enjoy all the entertainment options in a big city. If she could find Saori again...is there any better life than this?

But why are we getting involved in something that sounds so serious now? These two guys don't watch the news or go online recently. This is not a task to exorcise a first-level or special-level curse.

"Could there be some hidden story behind that incident or is it fake? It's not impossible that this is a plot by the enemy to sow discord. Have you read the Thirty-Six Stratagems? It's very famous..."

"Do not……"

It was Yuji who spoke this time. After attracting the two men's gazes, he gritted his teeth as if he had made a decision: "It's true, that Sukuna guy...what he said is true!" Kugisaki couldn't help it. She put her arms around Yuji's head and bent her fingers to drill into his head hard: "You are an idiot! How can you believe what Sukuna said? You really don't think he is some grandfather who helped you grow up, do you?"

Yuji was in so much pain from Kugisaki's manipulation that he kept begging for mercy. But when the latter let go, his expression darkened again: "Of course I won't believe him easily, but... Sukuna has cast a spell to ensure the truthfulness of his words."

"But……"

Yuji was not interrupted by Kugisaki and continued, "Sukuna made no secret of his purpose. He said that he wanted to see the world today end up like the Heian period. He said that by that time, we might have to release him on our own initiative."

"how is this possible?"

Nobara Kugisaki retorted subconsciously, but then she also thought of the possibility that if the current situation continued to develop towards the worst, the sorcerer might think of borrowing Sukuna's power. After all, this guy was also an extremely famous top existence in the history of sorcery.

If Sukuna wanted to come out, it was not impossible for him to agree to this request. After all, if he was not mistaken, they were once in the same era, and it was impossible for them not to know each other and have some grudges against each other.

“Hiss——If I think about it this way…”

"People are coming out."

Zenin Kei interrupted their conversation. Regarding Kugisaki's half-belief and the information that Yuji somehow got from Sukuna, Kei's thoughts became much simpler.

First of all, the facts that have happened are in front of him. Secondly, the reactions of Gojo teachers who must know more are also extremely strange. This is actually enough to prove the authenticity for him personally. Doing this now to be 100% sure is only a small part. The bigger reason is that he wants to intervene in this matter and provide some strength to the best of his ability.

That's why he thought of this way to find Senior Otsukoshi in a roundabout way and find out everything from him, and he had to start with the person in front of him.

"Hello."

Zenin Hui took the lead and walked over to stop several girls who were walking out with the crowd after school. The three girls were suddenly stopped by a strange person whose uniform did not look like the school uniforms of the surrounding schools. They were startled at first.

But then they realized that there were people all around them. Although the other party looked very cold, they did not seem to be those social people. The girls felt relieved.

"Inorimoto Rika?"

Although it was a question, Hui's tone was very certain, and her eyes were focused on one of the girls. That's right, the person they were looking for was Yuta Okkotsu's girlfriend - Rika Kimoto.

He had seen her appearance before at Otsutsuki's place. After all, he had a lovely girlfriend with whom he was in love and with whom he had been childhood sweethearts. If anyone close to him of the same age asked him about it, there was no reason for him not to show off.

Since Rika had no talent in spells, her school was just an ordinary school. In order to protect her, Otsutsuki rarely let her know about things and people related to spells, so she did not know the strange black-haired boy in front of her and his two companions.

So she stared at these people warily and replied: "I am, who are you?"

Zenin Hui chose to come at this time because this environment could reduce the other party's vigilance. Otherwise, if you block the other party in a remote place, even if you have no ill intentions, it will become malicious.

However, he had a further solution. Zenin Kei took out his mobile phone, found a photo, and then handed it to Qiben Rika.

The latter looked over and saw a photo of two people. One of them was the cold, black-haired guy in front of her, but he had a smile on his face and looked much more pleasing to the eye. The person next to him was much more familiar to her, because that person was Yuta Otsutsukoshi.

Seeing this, she became much more serious. After getting the other party's permission, Rika took the phone in her hand and observed the details carefully, and then saw the details she was looking for: Otsutsuki, who was smiling brightly in the photo, had a shadow showing at the wrist of his left hand covered by his sleeve. It was a woven bracelet she gave to the other party. There was nothing special about it. The only special thing was that it was made by Rika herself and was unique.

If this is a scam, it would be impossible for others to know such details from the pictures made with technology, so, are they Yuta’s classmates in that place?
After all, the curse has been made public to this extent. Even if Rika doesn't know anything, at least she knows some basic things. With these evidences, Rika now at least has initial trust in these people.

Seeing that the other party's vigilant expression had faded a lot, Zenin Kei knew that he could have a good chat with her now and contact Senior Otsukoshi.
