In Tomb of the Star Corridor, the last red dot on the barrier radar disappeared, indicating that Tomie had been completely exorcised.
Artoria immediately announced that the enemy had been completely vanquished and that they had achieved victory.
This immersed the Jujutsu Sorcerers and Jujutsu Families of High School and the Tokyo area in a sea of joy.
This time, it was not an individual Jujutsu Sorcerer or Jujutsu Family that was attacked, but the entire Jujutsu World of the Tokyo area.
Even several Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers, who are the backbone of the Jujutsu World, were lost.
Not to mention the loss of many Assistant Supervisors.
However, after Tomie was exorcised, the Jujutsu World of the Tokyo area did not find peace; instead, countless undercurrents surged.
As the Tokyo Branch suffered heavy losses in this incident, many positions became vacant.
The Big Three Families, the Jujutsu Headquarters, and some local Jujutsu Sorcerer Families swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.
But when they tried to make a move, they found that most key positions had already been filled.
Artoria immediately arranged for many High School-affiliated personnel to take up important positions in the Tokyo Branch after the incident.
For example, Ieiri Kiyotaka, an Assistant Supervisor who has always been timid but whose ability is acknowledged even by Gojo Satoru, took on an important role in the Tokyo Branch.
He is responsible for the designation and mission dispatch of most Assistant Supervisors.
Initially, when Ieiri Kiyotaka heard that he, a person with no Jujutsu Technique talent, was to take on such an important position, he jumped up from his chair like a startled rabbit, shaking his head vigorously.
Due to his lack of Jujutsu Technique talent, he had always been compared to other people's children since he was young, and with the Seniors at High School being overwhelmingly powerful and abnormal, Ieiri Kiyotaka completely lacked confidence.
To this, Eichi used only one move to make Ieiri Kiyotaka bite the bullet and accept the position.
"Why refuse? I think you can do it."
Shoko Ieiri, who "coincidentally" passed by the door with a coffee and "accidentally" overheard their conversation, looked at Ieiri Kiyotaka inside the room with surprise.
Instantly, Ieiri Kiyotaka, with newfound courage, immediately bowed 90 degrees to Eichi and loudly pledged: "Thank you, Senior, for your guidance! I will definitely do this job well and live up to your expectations!"
Eichi nodded in satisfaction, then stepped forward and patted Ieiri Kiyotaka on the shoulder.
"Keep it up, Ieiri-kun. The previous person in charge often had unreasonable mission assignments and unclear mission content when distributing tasks, leading to many unnecessary casualties among the Jujutsu Sorcerers performing the missions, which in turn caused Doctor Ieiri to work overtime every day treating patients.
Poor Doctor Ieiri, working overtime every day with dark circles so thick that even Reverse Cursed Technique can't remove them. So pitiful."
Eichi's tone grew increasingly sad and helpless, even turning his back and pretending to wipe away tears at the end.
Behind him, Ieiri Kiyotaka, hearing these words, felt his previously anxious heart suddenly filled with unparalleled fighting spirit.
"Please rest assured! Senior Eichi! I will absolutely not repeat the same mistakes and allow the Jujutsu Sorcerers of the Tokyo Branch to suffer needless sacrifices!"
"Good, very spirited!"
Eichi immediately turned around and forcefully clapped Ieiri Kiyotaka on the shoulders with both hands.
"Now, return to your post immediately and fight for the Jujutsu cause of the Tokyo area!"
"Yes!"
With that, Ieiri Kiyotaka rushed out of High School at a speed faster than when he was fleeing for his life from Cursed Spirits, and arrived at his workstation.
"Hey, hey, no way..."
Shoko Ieiri, who was hiding around the corner and hadn't gone far, covered her forehead helplessly.
She had a feeling that if things continued like this, it would become increasingly problematic.
"Forget it, at least it's a good thing for Ieiri Kiyotaka right now. As for the future, we'll consider it then."
Shoko Ieiri quickly adjusted her mindset and enjoyed her rare holiday.
Most Jujutsu Sorcerers' emotions are very rich, even to the point of madness.
However, there is one exception.
That is Shoko Ieiri.
She is always that cold, even ruthless, person.
This doesn't mean Shoko Ieiri truly doesn't care about anything; after all, when she first entered High School, she could still smile generously and fully express her joy.
However, as time went on, the calmness and indifference on her face grew more and more pronounced.
She is a doctor, and if a doctor cannot manage her emotions well, it will have a negative impact on patients.
Coupled with Shoko Ieiri's unique nature, this meant she experienced countless partings of life and death from a young age.
This also led to Shoko Ieiri's heart becoming increasingly closed off.
She knows her limits, and among everyone at High School, and even everyone in the Jujutsu World, she is the one who most clearly understands how cruel and irrational the Jujutsu Sorcerer profession is.
So she dared not let others truly enter her heart.
Just like in the original work when Suguru Geto defected, Shoko Ieiri did not react with the same inability to accept, or even hysteria, as Gojo Satoru.
She merely scoffed, "How childish," and then tossed the problem to Gojo Satoru.
Because Shoko Ieiri knew she had no ability to change Suguru Geto.
Even she could not save everyone lying on the operating table.
Perhaps in the original work, the lively and likable Yu Haibara and Suguru Geto, who was as arrogant and powerful as Gojo Satoru, were the final push that caused Shoko Ieiri to close the door to her heart.
After graduation, Shoko Ieiri never again showed the happy expression she had in High School.
Shoko Ieiri's departure did not attract Eichi's attention.
He had already started arranging other positions.
Nitta Akari, who had just entered the industry not long ago, was also directly promoted by Eichi.
Nitta Akari is straightforward, meticulous in thought, and bold in action, which perfectly complements the cautious and detailed Ieiri Kiyotaka.
It is believed that by partnering with Ieiri Kiyotaka, Nitta Akari will be able to grow quickly to become independent.
Next is Kento Nanami, this mature, stable, reliable, and trustworthy first-rate... mature man of the Tokyo Branch.
Eichi felt that with Kento Nanami's mature and dependable personality, he could handle any position he was placed in.
Due to a shortage of suitable personnel, the newcomers who had grown up over the years either lacked sufficient achievements or sufficient strength.
So Eichi could only temporarily recall Kento Nanami from the front lines to occupy important positions.
Then, he hired Mei Mei with a large sum of money to temporarily replace Kento Nanami on the front lines.
Following that were several teachers from Tokyo Jujutsu High and those affiliated with Yaga Masamichi's faction.
Eichi even pre-arranged Mai Zen'in and Rika Orimoto for Assistant Supervisor positions.
Rika Orimoto is a very intelligent girl who can see into people's hearts.
Given some time to develop, she will definitely have a place among the high-ranking officials of the Tokyo Branch.
Mai Zen'in was initially very displeased that Eichi suddenly pulled her out of High School to work, but upon hearing that she would be Maki's Assistant Supervisor, she immediately took the initiative to seek out Ieiri Kiyotaka for training.
