"That uniform looks like it's from the Middle School Division. Why are they here?"
"Shh, they'll hear us."
"It's fine, why are you so scared?"
"You don't know anything, do you? Those two are delinquents. I heard the strongest delinquent here was defeated by them in one move."
"No way?"
Similar conversations frequently occurred after the two entered the High School Division teaching building.
Neither Eichi nor Geto liked excessive socializing, so during school breaks, they usually stuck together or went about their business alone.
After school, they often went to exorcise Cursed Spirits, rarely interacting with other classmates.
Therefore, the biggest impression both the Middle School Division and High School Division had of them was that the two of them teamed up to subdue all the delinquents.
It was said that these delinquents later sought out many 'Seniors' from society, but the two of them achieved a 'hundred-man slayer' record against them.
In short, the rumors were as terrifying as possible.
Eichi had no intention of explaining anything, as he had understood a principle in his previous life.
No matter when, if you try to prove yourself according to others' demands, you've already lost, regardless of the outcome.
"Geto."
Eichi signaled Geto with his eyes.
Geto nodded in understanding.
A slit silently opened in the shadow beside them.
Several Fly Heads crawled out from it. Some Fly Heads flew onto the students' heads, others clung to their feet, interfering with them without causing harm.
Soon, the two broke free from the crowd and arrived on the rooftop.
"It really wasn't an illusion."
Immediately after arriving at the High School Division, the two first went to check on the girl who had fallen from the rooftop, but found nothing.
That's right, the girl's body had disappeared.
But now, looking at the messy footprints on the ground, Eichi was certain that everything just now had really happened.
"I found those people from earlier; they're in the infirmary."
"The infirmary? Did they take that girl for treatment?"
Eichi was a bit surprised, but if that were the case, it would just be a false alarm.
"No, the Cursed Spirits didn't see anyone injured, only those bullies from earlier."
As he spoke, Geto clenched his fists, his eyes icy cold.
Eichi knew Geto must be filled with rage right now.
In fact, Eichi was also very angry, but having experienced more, he had a bit more calm.
"Let's go take a look. We'll find out what happened. If it's bullying…"
Eichi didn't elaborate, but Geto understood Eichi's meaning: they must teach them a lesson and ensure they receive their due punishment.
"Rabbit Escape."
Following behind Geto, Eichi silently summoned Rabbit Escape, beginning a thorough search of the entire High School Division.
The reason for doing this was that Eichi felt a strong sense of unease.
This feeling had been present ever since entering the High School Division. The strange sense of unease combined with the vanished body made Eichi extremely wary of the current situation.
The two had witnessed the girl fall from the rooftop with their own eyes. During their journey to the High School Division, their gaze had remained fixed on the spot where the girl fell.
Yet, despite this, the body was gone, and even the Nue in the sky hadn't noticed.
The Nue had only glanced at the few people who went down from the rooftop, and the body disappeared. Taking away a body in just a few seconds was clearly not something a human could do.
Led by Geto, the two quickly arrived in front of the infirmary door.
Bang!
The infirmary door was pulled open forcefully by Geto, slamming against the doorframe with a loud noise.
The sudden commotion clearly startled the people inside the infirmary.
Geto strode into the infirmary, legs spread, buttons on his collar and cuffs undone, his anger practically overflowing.
"Hey, everyone be careful."
The two males and two females in the infirmary immediately took on a wary stance.
"Ah, what's wrong, Ise-kun?"
Asuka, suddenly pulled behind Ise Takahiro, was flustered yet a little shy.
"This guy is not easy to deal with."
Although not a delinquent, Ise Takahiro, with his excellent physical abilities, had dealt with some delinquents before and had personally witnessed Geto beat up over a dozen delinquents by himself.
Therefore, upon seeing Geto's angry expression and even his attacking posture, Ise Takahiro instinctively pulled Asuka behind him for protection.
"What did you just do?"
To Ise Takahiro's surprise, Geto didn't immediately attack.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Uranishi Shota, a visibly well-dressed honor student wearing glasses, asked from the side.
Geto's gaze shifted, staring intently at Uranishi Shota.
"You were the one who made a move, weren't you?"
"Huh?"
Made a move? Made what move? Could it be… As if realizing something, Uranishi Shota immediately spoke up to explain.
"No, people who don't know anything shouldn't be here…"
Hearing Uranishi Shota still trying to argue, Geto, his patience exhausted, threw a punch at Uranishi Shota.
"Wait a minute."
Ise Takahiro stepped forward, crossing his arms to block Geto's attack.
Even without using Cursed Energy, Geto's attack still sent Ise Takahiro flying.
Ise Takahiro knocked over Uranishi Shota behind him, and both fell to the ground.
"Ise-kun."
Asuka, ignoring her companion's attempts to stop her, ran to Ise Takahiro's side. Geto, who was about to follow up with a kick, was forced to stop.
"My name is Azuma Eichi. What's your name?"
Seeing that Geto still had some control over his actions, Eichi didn't interfere with him. Instead, he walked over to a girl who was trembling with fear.
"Rie, my name is Rie."
The girl in front of Eichi had moist eyes and a pale face, clearly terrified.
It was Geto who made a move, why are you so scared looking at me?
Eichi scratched his head helplessly, but the next moment, Eichi noticed that the girl named Rie in front of him didn't seem to be looking at him, but rather behind him.
Is there something at the infirmary door?
Eichi, somewhat puzzled, turned around, and a disheveled figure came into view.
Before him was a girl whose school uniform was messy and quite torn, her neck seemingly broken, tilted towards her shoulder.
When did she appear?
Eichi had not noticed the girl's appearance behind him at all. He looked at Rabbit Escape, who shook its head. Eichi understood the meaning Rabbit Escape conveyed.
She appeared suddenly.
"Do you need treatment?"
As Eichi asked, he adjusted his stance, preparing to form hand seals with both hands.
The girl in front of him was too strange. Her skin was pale, and judging by the damage to her clothes, she should have suffered immense injury just now, but apart from her broken neck, there wasn't a single visible wound on her body.
Moreover, the girl's eyes were utterly lifeless, unlike those of a normal person.
Geto, seeing this, also stopped confronting the other three people in the room and stood beside Eichi, warily looking at this person of unknown identity.
"Is she a Jujutsu Sorcerer?"
"Doesn't look like it."
Just as the two were speaking in low voices, the girl, who resembled a corpse, finally spoke.
"Please help me find my body."
"Huh?"
"What did you say?"
Eichi and Geto looked at the girl suspiciously.
The girl didn't answer their questions. Instead, after saying that, she turned and left.
A strange feeling suddenly emerged from the depths of Eichi's heart.
"Hey, Geto."
"What's wrong?"
Geto, who was about to chase after her, stopped.
"It seems we've been cursed."
"What?"
At this moment, new developments also occurred inside the infirmary.
