Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer assessment, Principal Yaga?
Suguru Geto also saw the message content on Eichi's phone.
Suguru Geto's first reaction was to feel happy for Yaga Masamichi.
But the next second, Suguru Geto noticed a sense of incongruity.
Because out of 5 people in their cohort, 4 were Special Grade.
Only Shoko Ieiri, the medical personnel, was an exception.
So, Suguru Geto could be said to be among the group of people in the Jujutsu World who understood Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers the most.
Although Yaga Masamichi's combat power was off the charts, capable of single-handedly pinning down and pummeling the three of them, all Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers.
But that was because Yaga Masamichi had a special advantage against the three of them.
If it were Yuki Tsukumo, who didn't have that advantage... Yuki Tsukumo could hang Yaga Masamichi from a tree and whip him with her Ouryu until he, the tough man, begged for mercy.
"That's strange, why would the Jujutsu Headquarters conduct a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer assessment for Principal Yaga?"
Suguru Geto fell into deep thought.
Eichi, however, knew a little about this.
The suddenly mutated Cursed Corpse — Panda.
This Cursed Corpse, whom Yaga Masamichi regarded as his own son, was different from ordinary Cursed Corpses.
Panda not only had its own thoughts, but as a Cursed Corpse, it could also continuously grow.
Although its growth limit wasn't high, the key point was its identity as a Cursed Corpse.
In the eyes of the Jujutsu Headquarters, Cursed Corpses, like cursed tools, were things they could mass-produce if they wanted to.
It's just that the mass-produced cursed tools and Cursed Corpses didn't have much value.
It was even less effective than simply having Jujutsu Sorcerers infuse Cursed Energy into cursed tools themselves.
Low-Rank Jujutsu Sorcerers couldn't afford them, and Advanced Jujutsu Sorcerers had no use for them.
So they were very much a white elephant.
But Yaga Masamichi's Cursed Corpses were different.
Yaga Masamichi's Cursed Corpses not only had self-awareness but also room for growth.
In other words, if they could mass-produce Cursed Corpses like Panda, they would only need a little time to obtain an army of Cursed Corpses.
Such power in Yaga Masamichi's personal hands was too dangerous.
It must be managed by the Jujutsu Headquarters, who truly had the ability to control it.
Yaga Masamichi naturally thought of this point as well.
He also knew what kind of covetousness this Technique would attract.
So, Yaga Masamichi had always publicly claimed that Panda was a suddenly mutated Cursed Corpse.
He attributed Panda's condition to an uncontrollable mutation that couldn't be replicated.
This was both for himself and to protect Panda.
After all, theoretically, Yaga Masamichi could form an army by himself through this Technique, reaching the point where a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer could threaten or even destroy a small country.
But truly raising such an army would take too long, even longer than Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
Moreover, Yaga Masamichi couldn't bring himself to let his children die for his own ambition.
So, Yaga Masamichi had always tried to hide this secret.
Unfortunately, secrets always come to light eventually.
High School staff discovered the intelligent and adorable Panda, and word of mouth eventually reached the Jujutsu Headquarters.
After investigating the situation, the people at the Jujutsu Headquarters immediately realized the value of this Technique and subsequently placed Yaga Masamichi under house arrest.
The Jujutsu Headquarters promised that as long as Yaga Masamichi handed over this Technique, he would become the fifth Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Whether it was fame, status, wealth, or even power, it could all be given to him.
No politician would refuse to have an army of Cursed Corpses that didn't need to eat, didn't need to sleep, completely obeyed them, and could grow.
But in Yaga Masamichi's view, the Cursed Corpses born from his Technique were like his own children.
He would not allow his children to become tools in someone else's hands because of him.
And so, the situation reached a stalemate.
Yaga Masamichi insisted that Panda was a product of a sudden mutation and could not be replicated.
The Jujutsu Headquarters did not believe this claim and continued to try to entice and pressure him into revealing the method for creating such Cursed Corpses.
To confirm his suspicions, Eichi called Shoko Ieiri.
"Moshi moshi."
Shoko Ieiri's somewhat slurred voice came through the phone.
"Drinking again?"
Eichi was speechless.
"Drank a little, it helps with sleep."
Eichi understood this point.
After all, Shoko Ieiri, like a doctor, had sleep hours entirely dependent on the injured, which were completely irregular.
This also led to Shoko Ieiri often suffering from insomnia due to an irregular schedule.
Doctors could still rotate shifts.
But as the only doctor in the Jujutsu World's support staff who could output Reverse Cursed Technique externally.
Shoko Ieiri had no one to rotate shifts with her.
Therefore, as long as Eichi was at the High School, he would lend Round Deer to her, otherwise her sleep time would probably be even less.
"Never mind, let me ask you something, is Panda at the High School?"
"Panda? It's with me. Principal Yaga entrusted it to me to look after a few days ago before he left, and he specifically told me not to give it to anyone who came asking."
Shoko Ieiri also sensed something was wrong from Yaga Masamichi's words.
But Yaga Masamichi said he would handle it, so she didn't ask further.
"Has anyone come to you recently asking for Panda?"
"Yes, from the Jujutsu Headquarters. They said Principal Yaga sent them, but I didn't give it to them."
"Okay, I understand. Take good care of Panda, Principal Yaga will be back soon."
With that, Eichi hung up the phone.
"Geto, are you busy lately?"
Eichi put away his phone and turned to ask Suguru Geto.
"Not busy. What happened to Principal Yaga?"
Suguru Geto smiled and shook his head. The two hadn't talked much on the phone, but he could sense a problem.
Something might have happened to Yaga Masamichi.
"Do you still remember Panda, whom Principal Yaga treated as his son?"
"I remember."
Suguru Geto still had a deep impression of Panda, after all, anyone who saw a muscular, extraordinarily imposing yakuza boss so gently holding a cute little Panda and feeding it milk would be deeply impressed.
The contrast in cuteness was truly maximized.
Anyone could see Yaga Masamichi's love for Panda; he truly treated Panda as his own son.
"Someone wants to snatch Principal's son."
Eichi summarized concisely.
For Suguru Geto, family was an untouchable reverse scale.
And Yaga Masamichi was a teacher he respected his entire life. Now, someone wanted to harm his teacher's family.
Suguru Geto opened his eyes, revealing a dangerous gaze.
"If you're free, I'll call Gojo, and we'll go to Kyoto for a few days."
"Kyoto, huh? It's been a long time since I've been there. It's a good opportunity to take my family to visit Kyoto."
Suguru Geto understood Eichi's meaning.
If it was just about putting pressure on the Jujutsu Headquarters, Eichi could go alone.
With him nearby, two people would also be fine.
But Eichi also planned to call Gojo Satoru.
This clearly meant to create a bigger stir and force the Jujutsu Headquarters to back down quickly.
So he decided to bring his family along too.
Nanako and Mimiko were also quite interested in Kyoto.
But because he didn't want to see those Old geezers who were even more disgusting than monkeys, he never took Nanako and Mimiko there.
This time, it would be convenient to take them for a good visit.
