Abnormal Moon

He was deeply respectful of Professor Roy.

Compared to the flashy and playful Gojo Satoru, Roy-sensei seems more suited to be a teacher.

The morning practice session, though called a practice session, was actually just Roy-sensei teaching him and Maki-senpai unilaterally. Unlike Gojo Satoru, who would often daydream, Roy-sensei was more meticulous and patient in his teaching.

All are top-grade.

How can there be such a big difference between people?

Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai City, Sugisawa Third High School.

"..."

Fushiguro Megumi stared at the louvered box in front of her, her face darkening with each passing moment.

The Stevenson screen was completely blank; there was nothing inside.

"Clap clap clap!"

Fuhei Hui immediately pulled out his phone and started typing furiously.

"Moshi Moshi, who is this?"

"Professor Roy, it's me, Fukuro. Something terrible has happened! The special-grade cursed artifact that was the target of this mission has disappeared!"

"Huh? What are you talking about out of the blue?"

"The thing is like this..."

Fushiguro Megumi snapped out of her daze, wiped the cold sweat from her brow, and quickly recounted the whole incident to Roy in detail.

"Wait a minute, you said you went to Miyagi Prefecture to take on a mission to retrieve a top-grade cursed item?"

"That's right!"

"...The top-grade cursed artifact you're trying to retrieve, could it be Ryoumen Sukuna's finger?"

"Huh? Does the teacher know?"

"Hmm... in every sense of the word, it's impossible for me not to know~"

"It's great that you know, teacher. Anyway, a top-grade cursed artifact is of great importance. It would be terrible if it were discovered by someone, especially a curse master or a cursed spirit. I will start an investigation immediately. Is Professor Roy free right now? Can you come and help me?"

If the opponent were Gojo Satoru, Fushiguro Megumi would never say something like, "Can you come and help me out?"

But if Mr. Roy happens to have taken on another assignment today, then things will be troublesome.

"I'm free, I'll head over right now."

"that would be great!"

After hanging up the phone, Fukuro immediately launched an investigation.

He began tracking down the residual cursed power left behind by the top-grade cursed artifact.

However, top-grade cursed items are very special.

Their auras are either extremely concealed or extremely overt; there are almost none in between.

Needless to say, top-grade cursed artifacts with concealed auras are extremely difficult to find. However, top-grade cursed artifacts with extremely blatant auras are so overpowering that they completely cover the surrounding area, making it as difficult for anyone to find them as it is for a dog to find excrement in a toilet.

"I never imagined it would come to this."

On the other end of the phone, after hanging up, Roy's face showed an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"The graduate student has recently become completely obsessed with the technique, but the results are very encouraging... However, the problem with Fukuro also needs to be dealt with, so I'll make a trip there!"

but.

Strange.

Why didn't Fushiguro Megumi contact Gojo Satoru, but instead contacted him?

Come to think of it, he's been at the college for two months now, and he hasn't even met Gojo Satoru once.

Given Gojo Satoru's personality, if a new Special Class appeared, he should have rushed over to see what was going on, right?

Roy glanced at his phone and suddenly noticed another message.

It was sent by Moth of the Night.

I guess they knew he was busy, so they didn't come to see him in person, but only sent a message.

The document simply stated, "You will be the acting homeroom teacher for the first grade."

It seems that Moth Masamichi felt the time was right, and finally told him about the class he would be teaching just before the start of the school year.

But then Roy understood.

"The root cause is that this world has become like a hedgehog because it lost important figures. But to begin with, there weren't many important figures in this world to begin with. [The rest of the text appears to be a list of characters and symbols, possibly related to a corrupted or incomplete system.]"

what a pity.

I never imagined that the most important person this world had lost was Gojo Satoru.

Roy had originally planned to spar with Gojo Satoru, who possessed both the rare Six-Eyed Technique (a once-in-hundred-years phenomenon) and limitless curse techniques.

You can also steal a shameless trick from them.

It seems there's no chance.

"But with Su Nuo still around, it's still somewhat interesting."

Roy gave Moth a 1, then selected Assistant Supervisor, and rode in his car towards the Shinkansen.

"Although it's only the strength of a single finger, let me see just how powerful the protagonist of 'The Tale of Su Nuo' truly is!"

Can you beat me?

Or is it the Space Slash that can cut me in two?

Really looking forward to it.

…………

"You are Hisahito Itadori?"

Sendai City Hospital.

Fushiguro Megumi chased after the boy carrying the remnants of cursed power, running wildly but failing to catch up with him until he arrived at the hospital, where he finally found the boy on the medical station, panting.

He was a high school boy of medium height, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore loose clothes that made him look tall and slender, and had light brown eyes and a head of messy, hedgehog-like hair of the same color.

His pure, untainted eyes made him appear remarkably clear-eyed, as if he harbored no evil thoughts whatsoever.

But his expression was somewhat blank, making him look like a simpleton.

"It's me. Who are you?"

Yuuji Itadori, a boy with short, light brown hair, looked at Megumi Fushiguro, who was wearing a strange uniform, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"I am Fushiguro Megumi, a master of sorcery. Without further ado, hand over the cursed artifacts you possess!"

"What are you saying right off the bat?"

"……no way."

Fushiguro sighed deeply.

This boy's physical abilities are ridiculously strong. Although he may not be as good as Mr. Roy, he is probably even better than Maki-senpai. Moreover, this is a hospital with a lot of people coming and going. He would prefer to explain things clearly here and get him to hand it over himself.

As for the confidentiality principle in Article 8 of the Spellbook Regulations... In urgent situations, expediency is necessary. Top-grade spell items are of great importance, and no one will say anything about minor violations.

"A cursed object? A curse?"

Yuji Itadori looked at Megumi Fushiguro with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Is this person mentally challenged?

"However, it's no use telling me all this."

Although he suspected that this guy named Fukuro might be mentally unstable, he seemed very anxious, which Yuujin Itadori noticed. He took a wooden box out of his pocket and handed it over.

"It's just an empty box. The contents have already been taken by my seniors at the Paranormal Research Institute. They said they'd open it tonight... Is it something dangerous?"

"...That's something that can kill people."

Fushiguro Megumi looked at the empty box he handed her and felt completely distraught.

He was only chasing after the remnants of cursed power left on the box; the real top-grade cursed artifact was not on this person named Itadori Yuujin at all.

"..."

"..."

The two stared at each other for a while.

Then they all ran out of the hospital and sprinted headlong towards the school.

"Speaking of which, is this guy really out of his mind? And me, who's messing around with him, does that make me look like I'm out of my mind too?"

Yuji Itadori leaped lightly up the steps several meters high, his mind filled with worry.

But the moment he arrived at the school, such thoughts vanished from his mind like spring snow.

An immense sense of oppression swept over him from within the school, causing all the muscles in his body to tense instinctively.

"You stay here, and absolutely do not go in!"
