A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1265

Morioka.

"I've been wanting to ask this for a while. There are only three students in the first grade. Isn't that a bit too few?" Xuan Hao asked after he followed Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Megumi out of the high school and got off the Shinkansen.

"Have you ever met someone who can see curses before?" Without waiting for Gojo Satoru to answer, Fushiguro Megumi asked back.

"That's not the case." Xuan Hao shook his head slightly.

"That's right. Sorcerers are a minority." Megumi Fushiguro explained.

"But didn't he say last time that I was the third person?" Xuan Hao pointed at Gojo Satoru and asked again.

"The decision to enroll was made a long time ago. After all, the school is quite special, so there may be some other circumstances." Fushiguro Megumi speculated.

"Long wait!"

After using the restroom, Gojo Satoru finally walked out of the station and waved to the two of them.

"Why are we gathering here?"

When Megumi Fushiguro saw Gojo realize it, she asked in confusion.

"It was her own request."

Gojo Satoru spread his hands.

"Isn't it nice to come here? We can also go sightseeing."

"Yeah, is there really octopus in that takoyaki?" Xuanhao suddenly asked towards the roadside shop.

"How should I know?" Fushiguro Megumi was speechless.

"I mean I want to eat."

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Because I have no money."

"#?"

"Teacher Gojo, what about the free food and lodging?"

"Hahaha! Eat if you want, teacher, it's my treat!"

Gojo Satoru laughed.

"Didn't I come here to look for someone?!"

Megumi Fushiguro can no longer stand these two out-of-line guys.

"What kind of person are we looking for?"

"She was wearing a technical college uniform similar to ours. I've seen her photo. She's a girl with short hair. She should be easy to recognize," said Gojo Satoru.

"Are you talking about the guy who stopped the scout and wanted to be a model and looked so embarrassing?" Xuan Hao asked in confusion, pointing in the direction of the crowd.

"..."

Fushiguro Megumi looked over.

There's no doubt about it, it's her.

"So are we going to talk to her now?"

"It's a bit embarrassing." Xuanhao complained.

"You're the same, right?" Looking at Xuan Hao, whose left and right hands were filled with street snacks, Fushiguro Megumi was unable to complain.

"Hey! Over here, over here!" Gojo Satoru shouted directly in the direction of the girl.

Soon, the woman noticed them, smacked her lips slightly, let the scout go, and walked over to join them.

  ···········

"Then let me introduce myself."

After they reunited, the girl proudly put one hand on her waist and said lightly.

"Narobara Kugisaki. Rejoice, boys, a little red is here."

"So annoying..." Fushiguro Megumi muttered, scratching her head. She seemed to dislike this formal self-introduction. Then she said, "Fushiguro Megumi."

"I'm Xuanhao, hello." Xuanhao said with a smile.

After introducing the two of them, Nobara Kugisaki looked at them strangely.

She is a person who cares about appearance, so in her opinion, Xuanhao looks like a country bumpkin, definitely the type who had eaten boogers when he was a child.

Megumi Fushiguro, who was standing next to her, only gave her name, which was very cocky. She had no interest in cocky boys. In her opinion, Megumi Fushiguro must be the kind of person who would set fire to a seagull covered in oil.

Finally, Kugisaki Nobara sighed helplessly: "I really am not favored by the environment."

Xuanhao was a little confused as to why the girl was looking at their faces and sighing.

Fushiguro Megumi didn't care at all and asked Gojo Satoru: "Where are we going next?"

"Haha, it's rare that all three first-year students are here, and two of them are from the countryside and are visiting the city. Of course, they're going to visit Tokyo!"

Upon hearing this, Nobara Kugisaki immediately perked up.

"Where exactly?"

"Roppongi."

After arriving at the destination, Nobara Kugisaki, who had originally come with the mindset of sightseeing, suddenly felt very disappointed.

"There's a curse in it."

Megumi Fushiguro looked indifferently at the building that was their destination and sighed.

"Liar!" Kugisaki Nobara complained, "You actually cheated the local people!"

However, no one paid any attention to her complaints.

Xuanhao was curiously asking about the origin of the curse inside Gojo Satoru.

"There is a huge cemetery, and the curse occurred due to the combined impact of the abandoned buildings." Gojo Satoru explained with a faint smile.

"Is it true that places like cemeteries are more likely to have such things?" Xuan Hao nodded slightly, thought for a moment and asked.

"It's not the cemetery itself." Fushiguro Megumi explained, "The problem is the human mind that thinks cemeteries are scary."

"Ah, I guess I understand what a curse is." Xuan Hao looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Wait a minute, he doesn't even know this basic knowledge?" Kugisaki Nobara was a little confused when she saw Xuanhao asking such a question.

Fushiguro Megumi covered his face and explained: "In fact, he had never come into contact with this world before swallowing the special-grade cursed object."

"Disgusting!!! I can't believe it! Do you have any sense of hygiene?!" Upon hearing this, Nobara Kugisaki immediately had a stress reaction.

"Although I agree with this point, is this the point?" Fushiguro Megumi was speechless.

"Okay, that's enough chatting."

Gojo Satoru suddenly spoke.

"I want to know your level, so consider this a field test. Wild Rose, Xuan Hao, the two of you go in and kill the curse in the building."

"But can't a curse only be eliminated by a curse?" Xuan Hao asked doubtfully, "I don't know how to cast a curse myself, so do I have to call that guy out again?"

"of course not."

Gojo Satoru shook his head.

"You are already half cursed. The cursed power actually flows in your body, but it cannot be controlled overnight. Use this."

As he said that, he took out a dagger and gave it to Xuanhao.

"What is this? It looks cool." Xuan Hao looked at the knife and asked.

"The cursed weapon 'Tuzuoma' is a weapon with cursed power, and it is also effective against curses." Kugisaki Nobara knew that Xuanhao knew nothing, so she explained helplessly, and also complained, "This knife is so ugly."

"That's fine, let's go."

After saying that, Xuanhao reached a consensus with Kugisaki Nobara who was also ready, and walked towards the building.

"Ah——Remember not to release Sukuna."

Gojo Satoru seemed to have suddenly thought of something and reminded him, "Although that is indeed very convenient, the curses released around him are probably no match for him, but it will implicate the people around him."

"Oh." Xuan Hao responded without turning his head.

"Should I go too?" Fushiguro Megumi asked, a little worried.

"Don't force yourself. Your injury has just healed." Gojo Satoru shook his head slightly.

Fushiguro Megumi frowned: "But someone needs to keep an eye on Xuanhao, right?"

"I guess so, but... the test subject this time is Wild Rose." Gojo Satoru said something thought-provoking.

  ···········

"Ah~ boring."

After entering the building, Nobara Kugisaki complained while wandering around and taking in the surroundings.

"Why do we have to deal with a curse in Tokyo?"

"Aren't you here to remove the curse?" Xuan Hao asked with some confusion.

  Normally, shouldn't everyone who joins the Jujutsu High School have this goal?

Kugisaki Nobara didn't answer, but urged: "Hurry up and finish it. Let's split up into two groups. I'll search from top to bottom, and you'll be responsible for searching from bottom to top. Finish the work quickly, and then go to Ginza for sushi!" "Wait a minute."

Seeing the playful attitude of Nobara Kugisaki, Xuanhao reminded her, "Be a little more serious. Isn't the curse very dangerous to humans? Don't you know that?"

"#"

When Nobara Kugisaki saw an outsider actually say such things in front of him, veins bulged on his forehead.

"It's not your turn as a beginner to teach me! Hurry up and go!"

"Okay, okay~"

Xuanhao sighed.

So the two of them split up into two groups.

After just a few steps, Xuanhao instinctively felt something approaching.

He drew his sword without hesitation.

puff--

A severed limb was cut off from above his head.

"The curse has appeared so soon?"

Xuan Hao stepped back a distance, holding a dagger in his hand, looking at the strange curse in front of him.

This curse resembles a crab with a human body.

He rushed forward with a knife without hesitation.

With two or three strikes, the curse was easily knocked to the ground.

"Whoo~"

After the battle, Xuan Hao sat on the cursed corpse and breathed a sigh of relief.

“I didn’t expect it to be so simple.”

  ···········

"Xuanhao's mentality has been confirmed to be fine."

Gojo Satoru explained to Fushiguro Megumi who was a little confused about his words, "Although I don't know why a high school student can face the curse without fear and ruthlessness, as a sorcerer, this kind of crazy energy is needed. Although they have talent, they can't overcome disgust and fear and give up halfway. You have seen many sorcerers, right? Today I mainly want to confirm whether that girl is crazy or not?"

"Ah."

Fushiguro Megumi nodded slightly, but was still a little confused.

"But Kugisaki has experience in exorcising curses, right? Is it necessary to confirm it again now?"

"Curses are born from the human heart. The more people there are, the more and stronger the curses are."

Gojo Satoru explained calmly, "The curses of the local area and Tokyo are not even on the same level."

  ···········

the other side.

Inside the building.

In a room somewhere upstairs, Nobara Kugisaki calmly looked at the many doll sculptures placed in the room.

"Hey, there's the curse."

"Just you, the mannequin in the middle. Do you think you're hiding well?"

As she spoke, she took out her weapon with disdain.

A hammer and some nails.

"Since you don't show up, I will just expel you."

clang--

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

Two nails were knocked away by Nobara Kugizaki's hammer and landed right on the mannequin's head.

The mannequin began to fall down due to the impact.

But halfway through falling, it suddenly stopped.

Then, several ferocious eyes opened above the model's head, making people feel like they were suffering from claustrophobia.

All these eyes were staring coldly at Nobara Kugisaki.

The steel spikes in his head didn't seem to cause much damage to the curse.

Soon it straightened up again.

But Kugisaki Nobara didn't care, she just reminded calmly: "It's better to pull out the nails."

Curse didn't react, as if he didn't take it seriously.

But the next moment, the model's head was suddenly shattered by a curse.

"My cursed energy will flow in."

boom.

As the words fell, the mannequin fell down.

"It's done."

Kugisaki Nobara smiled.

"!"

However, just when she was feeling a little proud of completing the work, there was a noise in the corner of the room.

She looked in the direction of the sound, thinking it was a curse, but it turned out to be just an ordinary little boy shivering in the corner.

"Did the kid run in here for fun and get cursed?"

Nobara Kugisaki was somewhat confused about the situation.

She stepped forward helplessly to comfort him: "Okay, it's okay now."

The little boy kept shaking his head when he heard this.

"They say that children don't like beautiful women. It seems to be true." Kugisaki Nobara complained helplessly, "Go call that guy over."

Having said that, she was about to turn around and find Xuanhao to come up with a solution.

But as soon as he took a step, he heard the little boy's voice: "Wait! You don't have to leave me."

"!"

Nobara Kugisaki turned her head and her pupils shrank sharply.

Because she saw that at some point, a cursed shadow appeared behind the boy.

Without hesitation, she raised the hammer and prepared to hammer out the nail.

But the movement was still a step too slow and stopped in mid-air.

I saw that the little boy had been caught by the curse and was held hostage.

She realized that things were not as simple as she had imagined.

This curse has intelligence.

That’s right, this is what Gojo Satoru was worried about.

The curse of Tokyo is not as simple as that of the countryside.

What he was talking about was not a level, he was not referring to simple magical power or combat ability, but the degree of cunning.

Intelligent beasts sometimes tip the scales of cruelty toward humans.

A scale to measure the weight of life.

And at this moment, Nobara Kugisaki was encountering this curse.

This curse itself is not worth mentioning. Level 4? At most, it is only level 3, the bottom.

It knows it itself.

That's why they took hostages to threaten her.

Nobara Kugisaki kept cursing the curse in front of her in her heart, while also reminding herself to stay calm.

If she died, then the child would surely die.

On the other hand, if the child had died, she would not have died.

  You have to think rationally. Should you save your own life or the child's life?

In this situation, it would be okay to choose to protect yourself, right?

Thinking of this, Nobara Kugisaki squeezed the steel nails in her hand.

bang-

But in the end, the nails and the hammer fell to the ground.

She still chose to put down her weapon and raise her hands.

"I put down my weapon. Let the kid go."

When she made this move, even she wanted to call herself an idiot.
