Hanging up the phone, Yaga Masamichi took a deep breath, then returned inside the High School.
All the staff members of the High School were gathered there at this moment.
There were chefs who had an easy life after Heroic Spirit Emiya arrived, Jujutsu Sorcerers responsible for guarding and maintaining the barrier, and some ordinary people from The Big Three Families who lacked talent.
These ordinary people usually did miscellaneous tasks for the High School, such as cleaning and restocking vending machines.
However, they hadn't expected that the iron rice bowl their families had painstakingly arranged for them would also have such dangerous situations occur.
First, the Jujutsu Sorcerers responsible for maintaining the barrier's operation discovered a large number of Cursed Spirits suddenly appearing within the High School.
After confirming they were all mere Fly Heads, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But the subsequent developments increasingly exceeded their expectations.
First, the High School's barrier was forcibly broken from the outside.
Then, a large number of powerful Cursed Spirits suddenly surged into the High School.
These were not the Fly Heads that even Assistant Supervisors could easily handle.
Instead, they were powerful Cursed Spirits with Cursed Energy reactions generally above Semi-Grade 1.
There were even multiple Special Grade reactions among them.
"Do that group of Curse Users want to declare war on the Jujutsu World?!"
When such a massive force appeared inside the High School's barrier, Yaga Masamichi finally realized the abnormality of the situation.
At first, although he found it a bit strange that two Special Grade Cursed Spirits appeared simultaneously, and the higher-ups designated Eichi, Artoria, and Heroic Spirit Emiya to exorcise them.
But such a situation could still occur naturally after all.
But now, at a time when the High School's combat power was dispersed, and when Gojo Satoru and Suguru Geto had just brought the star plasma vessel back to the High School.
When this powerful force, which even The Big Three Families would treat with caution and whose consequences would be unimaginable if not handled carefully, appeared inside the High School's barrier, Yaga Masamichi finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Yaga Masamichi recalled a sentence from the intelligence gathered earlier about the Curse User group Q.
A Curse User group wanting to make Tengen go berserk and thereby overthrow the current Jujutsu World.
Q had already been dismantled, so it couldn't be Q.
This meant there were other Curse Users acting in the shadows, and Q was just an open card played by the opponent.
It was a decoy used to divert attention.
This unknown Curse User group truly wanted to overthrow the Jujutsu World!
"Are you alright, Teacher?"
Shoko Ieiri's voice came from behind Yaga Masamichi.
Yaga Masamichi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"Don't worry, Shoko, the news just came in that Eichi and Artoria have already rushed back, and reinforcements from the Jujutsu Headquarters will arrive very soon."
Curse Users attacked the High School with multiple Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
Without knowing Kenjaku was just trying to intercept Eichi, the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World even thought the Curse Users intended to kill the star plasma vessel and then attack Tengen.
This incident was significant, even capable of affecting the existing structure of the Jujutsu World, so The Big Three Families' reaction to this matter was surprisingly consistent.
Not only Jujutsu Sorcerers belonging to the Jujutsu Headquarters, but even The Big Three Families dispatched their elite members to provide reinforcements.
"Yes, you too, Teacher."
Shoko Ieiri gave Yaga Masamichi a reassuring smile.
"The three of them are the strongest, there's nothing to worry about."
Saying this, Shoko Ieiri gently rubbed Yaga Masamichi's tense face.
"Yes, the three of them are the strongest."
A hint of a smile finally appeared on Yaga Masamichi's face.
On the battlefield, Eichi and the others did not disappoint Yaga Masamichi and Shoko Ieiri's expectations.
Suguru Geto, who had subjugated Taotie, joined the siege against the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Bone Woman, along with Heroic Spirit Emiya.
Originally, after Jorōgumo was exorcised, Bone Woman was struggling alone, her bones constantly growing out only to be broken by Eichi and Artoria.
After Suguru Geto and Heroic Spirit Emiya arrived, she was beaten to the brink of death within a few rounds, and Suguru Geto successfully subjugated her.
Finally, it was Yamata no Orochi.
Initially, Eichi did not join the Mahoraga and Yamata no Orochi battlefield because he knew that if he went, he would only be a burden to Mahoraga.
As a somewhat legitimate Summoner, Eichi's close-combat ability was not weak with the help of Suguru Geto, Gojo Satoru, and Toji Fushiguro, but Eichi did not prioritize physical Techniques as much as his Technique.
Therefore, Eichi's physical Techniques were not actually top-tier.
After all, compared to studying physical Techniques, the mysterious Technique was what Eichi preferred to research.
So Eichi was very self-aware; his physical Techniques should be fine for fighting that Cursed Womb: Death Painting.
But to fight that monster that could fight Mahoraga to a draw for a short time?
Forget it, no need to cause more trouble.
Therefore, Eichi decided to first cooperate with Artoria to exorcise Bone Woman.
Then let Artoria give that Yamata no Orochi a Caliburn.
Since Yamata no Orochi was an existence similar to Mahoraga, directly instant-killing it with Caliburn was the best method.
However, Suguru Geto's arrival made him change his mind.
After informing Mahoraga to temporarily halt its offensive, the group completed their encirclement of Yamata no Orochi.
An arrow quietly struck Yamata no Orochi's torso.
On one hand, compared to Mahoraga in front of it, this arrow was too insignificant.
On the other hand, the current Yamata no Orochi no longer had the spare capacity to observe the entire battlefield.
"Broken Phantasm."
Boom.
A huge explosion occurred on Yamata no Orochi's torso.
Several snake heads at the center of the explosion were directly blown off at their roots.
Mahoraga put away its Sword of Exorcism, grabbing Yamata no Orochi's snake heads with its two large hands and violently tearing them off.
Eichi and Artoria were not idle either; one on the left and one on the right, they severed Yamata no Orochi's snake tails one by one.
"It's time to change cursed tools. This time, I need to get a handy Special Grade cursed tool no matter what."
Looking at the chipped katana in his hand, Eichi threw it into his shadow, then continued to attack with his fists wrapped in lightning.
Soon, the battlefield was littered with the dissipating remnants of Yamata no Orochi.
Yamata no Orochi, with only its torso remaining, writhed weakly, and having lost its ability to resist, it quickly transformed into a Cursed Spirit Orb in Suguru Geto's hand.
"Eichi, I need an explanation."
After subjugating Yamata no Orochi, Suguru Geto looked at Eichi with a serious gaze.
"Don't worry, Amanai Riko is fine. We'll explain together once we find Gojo."
Seeing Suguru Geto's stern gaze, Eichi knew he was truly angry, and immediately gave a French military salute.
"I understand. I'll go find Gojo now. Remember to explain everything clearly later."
After leaving Hoshiumi Palace earlier, Suguru Geto felt the continuous outbursts of Cursed Energy from this direction.
Suguru Geto then immediately rushed to the battlefield; he hadn't had time to check on Gojo Satoru's situation yet.
Looking at Suguru Geto, who was unharmed, Eichi recalled the message Medea had sent before leaving.
At the time, he was desperately fighting Kenjaku and didn't have time to think carefully.
Now, recalling it, it felt like Suguru Geto had won by doing nothing this time.
Gojo Satoru was beaten to the brink of death by Toji Fushiguro, and he himself went all out to clash with Kenjaku once.
Suguru Geto just followed behind and picked up three Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
'Forget it, let's go check on Gojo Satoru first.'
However, what the group didn't know was that Gojo Satoru had already left the High School long before their battle had even ended.
