Atsuya Kusakabe made his final summary.
The air was silent for about two or three seconds.
Only then did Masamichi Yaga say seriously:
"In a moment, I will contact Principal Gakuganji to have him pay attention to this."
"If the situation becomes critical, the Tokyo side will also dispatch students to support the Kyoto side regarding potential disturbances caused by newborn Jujutsu Sorcerers... Any problems with that?"
The last question was directed at the students present.
The current students were not the same as when they first started school.
Including the newly ascended Heavenly Restriction user, the slashing technique user Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi who possesses Domain Expansion and successfully tamed Mahoraga, and Miyuki, the original experimental subject of Mahito—
It's no exaggeration to say that if this lineup were placed in an era before Gojo Satoru was born, they could crush the entire Jujutsu World!
Masamichi Yaga had to admit that in this era, excellent Jujutsu Sorcerers were emerging in clusters.
A storm regarding Cursed Energy had already begun to blow, and no one could escape it.
They could only rise and fall within the storm, be killed by it, or become a part of it.
All the students said loudly:
"No problem!"
Masamichi Yaga nodded.
"Then, let's talk about other intelligence."
"Although those points are used to improve oneself, they should actually be useless to top-tier Jujutsu Sorcerers pursuing the wish of infinite possibilities, because the Key Holders are the key point."
"They're still a bit useful," Nobara Kugisaki laughed.
"At least we can find out where the Key Holders are through points, and we can challenge them in advance!"
Everyone turned to look at Nobara Kugisaki, staring at her in disbelief.
Panda stammered:
"You didn't actually go and challenge a Key Holder, did you?"
Toge Inumaki also asked tremblingly:
"Salmon?"
Nobara Kugisaki excitedly punched the air.
"Do you know who I saw?"
"I saw Fushiguro's sister!"
"She even specifically used a Kamen Rider to fight me."
"Although I was instantly killed, she was still very gentle in telling me my weaknesses and even taught me how to use points for post-battle healing."
"Fushiguro's sister is just too cool!"
"You really went?!"
The names of the Key Holders would be revealed by Kogane upon request without needing points:
Jogo, Hanami, Dagon, and Tsumiki Fushiguro!
Fushiguro Megumi stood up and asked excitedly:
"Which barrier were you in?"
Atsuya Kusakabe clutched his forehead.
"That's not the point, is it?!"
"The point is that a student was actually so reckless as to challenge a Key Holder so soon after Dream Walk Migration began?"
"It's obvious the Key Holders must be top-tier powerhouses. To provoke them so thoughtlessly is not a good habit!"
"That's enough lecturing," Nobara Kugisaki said proudly.
"The more you fight powerful Jujutsu Sorcerers, the more points you get."
"The more points you get, the stronger you become."
"Then you repeat the process and eventually become stronger than ever, able to challenge any opponent."
"Isn't that the underlying rule of Dream Walk Migration?"
"Since that's the case, with resurrection as a safety net, isn't it normal for me to go take a peek at the Key Holder of this barrier?"
Atsuya Kusakabe said anxiously:
"I just said that Mahito is precisely expecting you to think that way..."
"No, even if we insist on not resurrecting, it's useless," Gojo Satoru waved his hand casually.
"It's useless for just a few of us to persist."
"Many more people have already successfully resurrected after dying in Dream Walk Migration."
"They've already placed a Binding Vow in their subconscious."
"One more or less of us won't make a difference."
"Nobara-chan did the right thing."
"At least we know Megumi-chan's sister is in there, don't we?"
"Maybe we can even get her to go easy on us."
Atsuya Kusakabe sighed.
"Even so, this behavior is very dangerous."
"I don't want to hold everyone back," Nobara Kugisaki said seriously.
"I know my potential is far below the others."
"If it were before, I would have accepted it."
"After all, in the Jujutsu World, eighty percent depends on heaven, and only twenty percent is left for effort."
"But it's different now."
"With Dream Walk Migration, even I might be able to keep up with the footsteps of a Special Grade Sorcerer."
"Since the path is right here, why wouldn't I take it?"
Gojo Satoru looked at Toge Inumaki and Panda.
These two students said nothing, but their eyes shone with the same brilliance.
The contents of the secret meeting arranged by Gojo Satoru had already become obvious with the start of Dream Walk Migration.
Among the students, Maki Zenin, Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, and Miyuki were all included, but Nobara Kugisaki, Panda, and Toge Inumaki were not.
They all knew the reason why.
Lack of potential is just lack of potential.
The Jujutsu World is such a malicious place; even if you want to contribute, it's no use if you don't have the ability.
Regarding this, although they were unwilling, they could only nod in acknowledgment.
But now, Dream Walk Migration has truly opened.
Even those without talent might be able to keep up with the footsteps of the strongest.
In that case, how could they not strive to catch up?
Gojo Satoru laughed loudly.
"Exactly!"
"Since there's this opportunity, why not seize it?"
"Kusakabe, I know the significance of Dream Walk Migration to Mahito, and I know this is an open scheme laid out by Mahito."
"But I also understand Mahito."
"He only sets open schemes and wouldn't hide other plots within them."
"For the many Jujutsu Sorcerers without talent, Dream Walk Migration is a genuine paradise!"
"Since Nobara-chan wants to, then she can naturally pursue the path of the strongest until she stands by our side."
"I, Gojo Satoru, approve!"
Nobara Kugisaki happily pumped her fist, while Panda and Toge Inumaki also excitedly raised their hands.
Atsuya Kusakabe squinted his eyes and sighed deeply.
"Fine, you're all crazy."
"All of you are damn crazy!"
"A jujutsu student who just entered the world actually dares to head-on clash with the resurrected Soul of an ancient Sorcerer!"
"And this can actually get the approval of the modern strongest?"
"Dammit!"
"Either the world or I has gone crazy, and I bet it's the world!"
Masamichi Yaga, however, thought more deeply.
In that secret meeting, only Aoi Todo from Kyoto Jujutsu High was brought in, and no other students were.
There was nothing to say about that.
The current potential of the Tokyo Jujutsu High students was simply higher than those from Kyoto Jujutsu High.
But once Dream Walk Migration came out, the students other than Aoi Todo would surely strive to catch up just like Kugisaki Nobara, Panda, and Toge Inumaki.
Especially Momo Nishimiya.
As the wielder of the mediocre Tool Manipulation Technique, she now had the path of Mahito's Fusion Black Flash before her.
As long as her jujutsu talent could keep up, one could say the potential of Tool Manipulation could now rival the Ten Shadows Technique, Limitless, and the Cleave Technique.
Mahito had single-handedly expanded the upper limit of Tool Manipulation.
Of the remaining students, Kamo Noritoshi was originally from one of the Three Great Families, so his upper limit was easier to reach.
Kokichi Muta's Heavenly Restriction was also very likely to be lifted without reducing his potential, allowing him to stand on the earth with both feet.
Zenin Mai's future was personally demonstrated by Tsumiki Fushiguro.
Finally, Kasumi Miwa...
Well, Kasumi Miwa's path was quite arduous, but fortunately, Innate Techniques could be purchased directly with points.
Even if she just bought a fire-type technique, she could reach the height of Zenin Ogi—that is, Special Grade 1 Sorcerer, which is already the trump card just below a Special Grade Sorcerer.
At this moment, Masamichi Yaga suddenly realized:
Even without mentioning that this is Mahito's Apotheosis Ritual, the ritual itself can indeed cause a massive explosion in both the strength and number of Jujutsu Sorcerers!
"...King of Curses, Mahito, what on earth are you thinking?"
Suddenly, a ringtone sounded.
Everyone looked at Masamichi Yaga.
It was his phone.
Masamichi Yaga did not leave the meeting.
He frowned as he looked at the caller ID:
Principal Gakuganji.
Everyone quieted down.
Masamichi Yaga turned on the speakerphone and picked up.
"Moshi moshi, this is Masamichi Yaga."
"This is Gakuganji," Yoshinobu Gakuganji said in a heavy tone.
"I'll get straight to the point."
"Our students have encountered Ryomen Sukuna."
Gojo Satoru stood up.
"Where?!"
"Dream Walk Migration, Sakurajima Barrier," Yoshinobu Gakuganji said.
"The student Kokichi Muta encountered him and unfortunately clashed with him, being cut in half."
"After reviving, Kokichi Muta did not continue exploring Dream Walk Migration but came straight out to report to us."
"After that, Kokichi Muta entered the Sakurajima Barrier again and clashed with him once more."
"Now, Kokichi Muta is stalling Ryomen Sukuna there with the perseverance of being killed three times per minute on average."
"Are you sure?" Atsuya Kusakabe asked, trembling.
"Not only was it confirmed through Dream Walk Migration's information query system, but he also revealed the same appearance he had a thousand years ago," Yoshinobu Gakuganji said.
"Two faces, four arms, a giant mouth on his abdomen, and the slashing-type Cursed Technique he used after uttering 'Dismantle,' along with that bottomless pool of Cursed Energy."
"But the fingers are still in my stomach!" Itadori Yuji couldn't help but say.
"I swear no one took the fingers out of my body!"
"Mahito revived him," Yoshinobu Gakuganji said coldly.
"He doesn't need the power of the fingers at all!"
"We miscalculated."
"We thought that as long as we killed Itadori Yuji, we could forever make Ryomen Sukuna lose a part of his power."
"But we didn't expect something like Dream Walk Migration to exist!"
"Someone must have requested the revival of Ryomen Sukuna, and Mahito granted that person's wish!"
"And now, even without the fingers, Ryomen Sukuna can reclaim his lost power!"
"That's not right!" Itadori Yuji shouted in denial. "I just ran into an old guy inside the barrier, and he said he was looking for Sukuna's fingers! If he really doesn't need the fingers, why would someone be looking for them?"
Yoshinobu Gakuganji paused.
"Itadori Yuji, are you sure?"
"I'm sure," Itadori Yuji said.
Yoshinobu Gakuganji pondered for a moment and said:
"This shows that the power Dream Walk Migration can provide is also limited; at least it can't grant power at the level of Ryomen Sukuna."
"Ryomen Sukuna is gathering power, but eventually, he will go to reclaim his fingers..."
"Gojo Satoru, protect the fingers. Or just kill Itadori—"
"That's enough, Principal Gakuganji."
Gojo Satoru interrupted Yoshinobu Gakuganji and said with a chuckle:
"Fine, I'll head to the Sakurajima Barrier in a bit."
"Oh, right, points can be used to transfer between barriers, right?"
"Yes," Panda raised his hand and confirmed. "I happened to ask out of curiosity; it only takes 2,000 points to transfer to another barrier, but a person can only transfer once."
For low-level Sorcerers, 2,000 points were indeed an extremely high price, but for those above Grade 1 Sorcerer, they could collect 2,000 points in just one normal battle.
Even if someone like Fushiguro Megumi simply showed off his Innate Technique as much as possible against Cursed Spirits of a lower rank than himself, he could obtain more than 1,500 points.
This also showed the abyss-like gap between low-level Sorcerers and upper-level Sorcerers.
Killing a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit only gives 5,000 points.
In the original work, Fushiguro Megumi was almost killed when facing a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit at the very beginning.
"But the fingers are with Itadori," Yoshinobu Gakuganji said. "If you go to the Sakurajima Barrier, Ryomen Sukuna can also transfer to the barrier where Itadori is. You can only transfer once."
"We must find someone to force Ryomen Sukuna to transfer barriers once," Gojo Satoru said.
"Now, besides me, who else can force Ryomen Sukuna to transfer barriers?"
Everyone fell silent.
Yoshinobu Gakuganji began calling names.
"Is Yuta Okkotsu there with you?"
Yuta Okkotsu took a deep breath.
"Then let me do it."
"The current Yuta is just a big sandbag in front of Sukuna," Gojo Satoru refused.
"Maybe he can become a fly, but he can't force him—"
Yuta Okkotsu shifted his body uncomfortably.
He couldn't feel any anger at being called a fly and a big sandbag.
During these few months of training with Gojo Satoru, he had suffered quite a lot.
He knew that since Gojo Satoru made such a judgment, it meant that even though he possessed the Immortal Technique, he certainly could not be Ryomen Sukuna's opponent.
"What do you want to do?" Yoshinobu Gakuganji asked.
"First, we need to determine where Sukuna will stay," Gojo Satoru said seriously.
"I'll go to the Sakurajima Barrier and force him into another barrier."
"This way, we can ensure he stays in one barrier and won't go anywhere else."
"Then, in that barrier, we will avoid his edge until the end of the year."
"I will deal with him then."
The logic was actually quite simple.
Trap a tiger in one place, and as long as everyone else avoids that place and develops as much as possible elsewhere, they can kill Sukuna with the most complete preparations when the Key Holder promised by Mahito meets him.
But if they completely abandoned the barrier where Ryomen Sukuna was, it meant allowing Ryomen Sukuna to develop freely.
"You want to fight Ryomen Sukuna at his peak?" Yoshinobu Gakuganji asked in confusion.
"Are you sure? That's the King of Curses, the acknowledged strongest Sorcerer in history!"
"It might be a bit troublesome after Sukuna recovers the power of all his fingers."
Gojo Satoru smiled and said:
"But even so—I will win."
