Chapter 1261 - 917: Would You Be Shocked?

When today’s sun reached its zenith, noon officially arrived.

After lunch, the participants from the two sorcery schools arrived at their designated competition areas, ready to enter the field.

"The first day of the Capital City Sister School Exchange Event, team battle, begin!"

Yaga Masamichi’s voice rang out from the broadcast, seemingly accompanied by Gojo Satoru’s voice.

"Wait! Wasn’t I supposed to make the announcement and speech?"

Such a protest had just sounded, and the next second it disappeared.

Amidst the sounds of chaos coming from the broadcast, it’s unclear how Gojo Satoru went silent, with only Yaga Masamichi’s voice calmly continuing.

"Both sides, enter the field!"

Upon hearing this, the long-awaited students from both sorcery schools rushed into the designated area, coincidentally performing the same action.

That was to split up.

On the Tokyo school’s side, they divided into three groups, one heading east, one heading west, and another single person boldly entered the competition field from the front, not disguising their presence at all.

On the Capital City school’s side, they split into two groups, one heading west, and similarly, another bold entrant from the front, with only one person awkwardly staying behind, not joining in with the others.

This scene was fully taken in by a number of crows perched atop towering trees, and transmitted to the faculty meeting room back at the school.

"Oh?"

Sitting right in front of the big screen, with a large bump on his head, Gojo Satoru looked at the actions of the two sorcery school students with legs crossed, raising an eyebrow.

"The Kamoi heir is heading towards Reiger, while the Zenin family’s Miss is moving with two others towards Yuji’s direction?" Gojo Satoru looked up at Gakuganji Yoshinobu sitting at the back and grinned: "Is this a coincidence or something more devious?"

Gakuganji Yoshinobu did not speak, seeming unwilling to converse more with Gojo Satoru, as he closed his eyes.

Gojo Satoru didn’t mind, still laughing freely there.

"Well, whatever you plan on doing, it’s a bit too late now."

With such an intriguing statement left, Gojo Satoru returned his gaze to the live feed.

However, whether by design or not, it wasn’t long before the crows lost track of the students from both sorcery schools, leaving the big screen in the meeting room showing only trees and earth, devoid of any human figures.

"Hey, hey, hey, Miss Mei, what’s going on here?" Gojo Satoru once again raised his head, looking in another direction, as if quite dissatisfied: "Now we can’t see anything, can we?"

In the direction Gojo Satoru was looking, a mature woman with long hair braided into a plait placed in front of her, chuckled without even turning back.

"No choice, the terrain in the forest is complicated, and those kids move so quickly, it’s normal for the crows to lose them."

The woman explained leisurely, causing Gojo Satoru to gaze deeply at her.

"I say, Miss Mei," Gojo Satoru said rather helplessly: "You’re not reverting to old habits, letting yourself be bought, right?"

"You overthink," the woman still smiled unhurriedly and said, "The crows just lost them, I’ll make them try harder, that’s all."

"Alright then." Gojo Satoru spread his hands, seemingly both helpless and indifferent, "As long as no one is intentionally diverting our sight to do unspeakable things, it doesn’t matter."

The veiled insinuations made Gakuganji Yoshinobu, sitting at the back, open his eyes and glance at Gojo Satoru, then close them again.

"Gojo."

With a sigh, Yaga Masamichi also warned Gojo Satoru not to go too far.

Even though he found the situation suspicious, there was no evidence, and to suspect a significant figure in the world of sorcery within minutes of the exchange starting was really unwise.

So, he gave a verbal warning.

"Alright, I won’t say any more." Gojo Satoru made a zipping gesture at his mouth and laughed: "It’s just a bit unfortunate."

What’s unfortunate?

Gojo Satoru didn’t say.

Others wanted to ask, but seeing Gojo Satoru’s demeanor, they understood he wouldn’t explain.

For this reason, nobody knew, the reason Gojo Satoru found it unfortunate was that his students wouldn’t be able to surprise everyone in the public eye.

If they witnessed Itadori Yuji’s current strength, wouldn’t they exclaim in astonishment?

If they saw Reiger’s power, would they not be shocked?

"Such a pity, such a pity."

Gojo Satoru genuinely felt some regret.

Putting Itadori Yuji aside for the moment, he was quite curious about how much power Reiger would exhibit during the exchange.

...

Meanwhile, Itadori Yuji was racing through the forest’s west side along with Panda and Inumaki Toge.

"Woof woof!"

In front of the trio, a large white dog was sniffing and sprinting, leading the way for Itadori Yuji and the others.

It was indeed one of Fushiguro Megumi’s [Divine Dogs].

Upon entering, Fushiguro Megumi had summoned [Divine Dog], allowing the white divine dog to guide Itadori Yuji and the others, while a black divine dog led his own group.

With the keen sense of [Divine Dog], the Curse Spirits active within the forest would be located one by one and exorcised by both parties.

Their strategy was quick strikes, using Reiger’s strong presence to attract the enemy’s attention while they swiftly hunted down the Curse Spirits within the forest.
