Chapter 1257 - 915: What Exactly Are You After?

This is more of an interrogation than a questioning.

"Me? I didn’t do anything, did I?"

Gojo Satoru looked innocent, which was infuriating.

Gakuganji Yoshinobu spoke as if he hadn’t seen Gojo’s performance, talking to himself.

"Okkotsu Yuta, Itadori Yuji, and now Reiger Brillhaut, it seems that over the past two years, you’ve recruited many special characters into Jujutsu High and made them your students."

"Even Fushiguro Megumi was convinced to join by you, and you shielded him from the Zenin Family."

"Many believe you’re building your own faction, nurturing talents you can use in the future."

"To achieve this, you’ve repeatedly reached out to those unique and dangerous individuals."

"Tell me, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Gakuganji Yoshinobu finally turned to Gojo Satoru, his old eyes flashing with a dangerous gleam.

"Do you realize that your actions could potentially bring catastrophic disaster to the world of sorcery?"

This was not an exaggeration.

At least, those who heard this, including Yaga Masamichi, Iori Utahime, and others present, wouldn’t refute it.

Itadori Yuji is undoubtedly the vessel for Ryomensukuna. Once Sukuna takes over his body, the most terrifying Curse King in history will be resurrected in modern times, and the danger and impact of that are unimaginable.

Okkotsu Yuta is stable now, but he too was a very unique individual, with dangerous elements within him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sentenced to secret execution by the world of sorcery, just like Itadori Yuji.

As for Reiger, he is mysterious.

His background, identity, and even his powers are still unclear to those in the world of sorcery.

Though he appears quiet and stable now, seeming not to bring any danger to the world of sorcery, his mystery and suspiciousness alone cause great anxiety among the high-ranking officials of the sorcery world.

Where did he come from? And what’s his purpose here?

Is he friend or foe?

These are questions that remain unanswered in the world of sorcery.

Though Itadori Yuji and Okkotsu Yuta are special, at least people know what’s special about them and how to handle them.

But Reiger?

There are too many mysteries around him, leaving the higher-ups in the world of sorcery undecided on how to deal with him.

Yet, Gojo Satoru recruited someone like him into Jujutsu High, right into the heart of the sorcery world.

This could still serve as surveillance, which is better than ignoring this mysterious and suspicious factor.

But Gojo Satoru went further, teaching this suspicious figure the [Limitless Technique], and what’s more, he mastered it without the Six Eyes! He even mastered the Zenin Family’s [Ten Shadows Techniques] and reportedly subdued a Shikigami that had never been controlled before.

What is this?

Supporting the enemy?

If Reiger Brillhaut becomes an enemy to the world of sorcery, allowing someone like him to possess such powerful skills is like shooting yourself in the foot!

Because of this, the upper echelons have publicly scolded Gojo Satoru countless times. Some even suggest executing Reiger immediately to prevent a powerful future enemy.

Gojo Satoru remained dismissive, treating their words as mere noise, taking them in one ear and out the other, without taking it seriously.

If it weren’t for his overwhelming strength, which assured no one could execute him, his audacious behavior of constantly crossing sensitive nerves in the higher ranks would have long led to his secret execution by the higher-ups of the sorcery world.

Coincidentally, Gakuganji Yoshinobu was one of them.

As the leader of the conservatives, his greatest wish was to maintain the current order and hierarchy of the sorcery world, killing any danger in its cradle.

Hence, during Gojo’s absence, he secretly manipulated things, sending the first-year trio, Itadori Yuji, to handle the special-grade fake curse spirit incident.

He planned to assassinate the vessel of Ryomensukuna, stopping the resurrection of that fearful Curse King.

As for Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara?

If they died as well, it would serve as a warning to the reckless Gojo.

However, he failed. Not only did the vessel survive, but none of Gojo’s students died, which even brought forth another unstable factor — the special-grade curse involvement, Reiger Brillhaut.

As a result, Gojo Satoru even recruited such a suspicious figure into Jujutsu High, leaving many sleepless with worry.

Now, Gakuganji Yoshinobu personally questioned Gojo Satoru, asking for his reasoning.

"Ha."

Gojo Satoru suddenly laughed.

"Nervous? You’re finally nervous?"

"You who’ve always been watching from the sidelines, not getting involved in any danger, yet secretly controlling the entire development of the sorcery world, gripping all power in your hands, you’re actually getting nervous now?"

"You didn’t panic about Yuta back then, nor when Yuji became Sukuna’s vessel, but with Reiger’s appearance, you’re finally panicking, huh?"

"Why is that? Is it because Reiger is just too suspicious? Or has his easy mastery of [Limitless Technique] and [Ten Shadows Techniques] posed a real threat to you?"

"I am really curious!"

Gojo’s words deepened the gloom on Gakuganji Yoshinobu’s face.

"Thud!"

The cane hit the ground heavily, expressing the anger in Gakuganji Yoshinobu’s heart.

"Answer my question, Gojo Satoru," Gakuganji Yoshinobu demanded with a frightening gaze, "What exactly are you planning to do?"

The smile on Gojo Satoru’s face finally faded.

"What I want to do has always been simple."

Gojo stretched his hand, gently lifting the blindfold, revealing the azure blue eyes beneath, looking straight at Gakuganji Yoshinobu.

Those beautiful gem-like eyes exuded coldness and superiority.

"This world of sorcery, corrupted by people like you, needs a powerful force to cleanse all filth."

"And this force could be me, but it shouldn’t be only me."

"That’s why I’ve been introducing forces strong enough to shake the sorcery world, allowing new forces to dissipate the old filth."

"You say I’m reckless?"

"Maybe so, but I won’t let you continue being reckless, old man."

Upon hearing Gojo’s words, naked anger flared in Gakuganji Yoshinobu’s eyes.

"Gojo!"

Yaga Masamichi couldn’t stay on the sidelines anymore, stepping forward to stop Gojo.

"Watch your words; what you’ve said could already cause serious issues!"

It seemed like a stern rebuke to Gojo, but it was actually also in his defense, wasn’t it?

"You guy, you’re as unreasonable as ever," Iori Utahime glared at Gojo.

"Sorry, sorry, I indeed said a bit too much today." Gojo covered his eyes again, returning to his playful demeanor, "Let’s watch the competition! This year’s exchange event will surely be interesting, so keep an eye on it everyone."

Ignoring Gojo’s joking, Gakuganji Yoshinobu stood up and left.

Iori Utahime hurried after him, while the others watched from afar, eyes downcast, not daring to intervene in this matter.

Gojo didn’t pay attention to Gakuganji Yoshinobu, continuing to sit there with a smile.

"Sigh..."

Yaga Masamichi sighed deeply, rubbing his brow in frustration.

...

At this time, Gakuganji Yoshinobu hadn’t gone far. He was in the room where the Kyoto High students were gathered.

"I have a task for you."

After arriving here and looking at all the Kyoto High students present, Gakuganji Yoshinobu spoke succinctly.

"For the upcoming exchange event, forget about winning or losing, just accomplish these two objectives."

"First: Try to contact Reiger Brillhaut, probe his thoughts, and ideally find out his background and true identity."

"Second: Kill Ryomensukuna’s vessel, Itadori Yuji."
