With Satoru's help, Suguru quickly mastered Reverse Cursed Technique.
Although Suguru's Reverse Cursed Technique was inefficient, and the difficulty of using Cursed Spirit Manipulation increased when he activated Reverse Cursed Technique.
After studying Suguru's Reverse Cursed Technique, Eichi wondered if Suguru was one of those cultivation prodigies with a pure yin Physique from novels.
Otherwise, why could Suguru withstand tens of thousands of Cursed Spirits born from negative emotions?
And why was his body so inefficient at operating the positive energy of Reverse Cursed Technique?
So the original Suguru could comprehend a Maximum Technique but could not use Reverse Cursed Technique, which must have been due to Cursed Spirit Manipulation and his special Physique.
Otherwise, it would be too strange that every other Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer could use Reverse Cursed Technique except him.
Regardless, Suguru can now at least use Reverse Cursed Technique. Although its efficiency is low, it is better than nothing.
That day, after Suguru left the Tokyo Jujutsu High, he was not in a hurry to leave Japan.
Instead, he stayed with his family in Japan for a period of rest.
Later, through an introduction, he took over a reorganized Time Vessel Association and became its leader.
Upon receiving this news, Eichi immediately had Zen'in Shuji secretly investigate the person who introduced the Time Vessel Association to Suguru.
The result was that the person seemed to have appeared out of thin air, then disappeared just as suddenly.
"Still up to no good, Kenjaku."
However, Eichi was not worried about Suguru.
After all, the current Suguru was far stronger than in the original story.
He had Yamata no Orochi, capable of fighting Mahoraga for an entire day.
He had Ootengu, capable of activating Domain Expansion.
He had mastered Reverse Cursed Technique, which could save his life and allow him to continue fighting even if he was severely injured by a surprise attack.
Plus, other Techniques extracted using Maximum: Uzumaki could be used as trump cards.
The current Suguru was not someone Kenjaku could easily take down.
Hoo, hoo.
Qiongqi flapped its wings and landed at the headquarters of the Time Vessel Association.
Eichi, who had just finished handling some business nearby, decided to stop by and see whether Suguru had once again become a monkey leader.
"Yo, Eichi."
Suguru, dressed in a kasaya, showed Eichi a captivating smile.
Understand the question, understand the cycle, become... never mind, leave that to Satoru.
"Why did you suddenly decide to become a leader?"
Eichi asked with some curiosity.
"My family travels with me everywhere, they also need a place to settle down."
Suguru walked ahead with his hands tucked into his wide sleeves, leading the way for Eichi.
"Is that so? That is not bad."
Sniff, sniff.
Suddenly, Eichi smelled a peculiar fragrance.
He sniffed carefully, then gradually moved closer to Suguru.
"What is wrong with you all of a sudden?"
Suguru looked at Eichi strangely. Sniffing someone like that was something Satoru would do.
"Suguru, you smell really good."
Eichi looked up and said seriously.
"I sprayed cologne."
After saying that, Suguru took out a bottle of cologne from his clothes. Its appearance alone suggested it was extraordinary.
"Why spray cologne? To increase your charm?"
Recalling Suguru's original captivating image, Eichi felt that Suguru was going further and further down the path of a succubus in the Jujutsu world.
Although the former Suguru was already very charming, after becoming a leader and fully displaying that charm to attract followers, he became even more irresistible.
"No."
Suguru shook his head.
"It is just that I was touched by a monkey just now. I am covering up the foolish smell."
A hint of unconcealed disgust appeared in his tone.
"So you are a monkey leader now?"
Eichi felt it was necessary to clarify what he meant by monkeys. If Suguru was still as radical as in the original story, he would simply take him back and let Masamichi reeducate him for a few years.
If that did not work, he would knock him unconscious until he lost his memory, then remold him.
A secluded young man plus one.
"No, it is just that these monkeys always come close."
"So who are the monkeys you are talking about?"
"Naturally those foolish and corrupt people. Just as you said, the world would be better if such people disappeared."
Suguru's expression showed clear disgust.
Foolish and corrupt. That was much better than without Cursed Energy.
Leaving others aside, those corrupt old men in the higher echelons of the Jujutsu world, apart from those whose interests were tied to theirs, were disliked by almost everyone.
So Suguru's thoughts were not problematic.
The only thing to watch was whether the current Suguru would still take extreme actions.
"There are plenty of fools in this world. Instead of bothering yourself with them, you should visit the Tokyo Jujutsu High more often."
Eichi found that whether it was Satoru or Suguru.
As long as the two were together, they would forget all their worries.
Eichi believed that if he played matchmaker more often and let the two spend more time together, Suguru, with his less radical mindset, would surely not walk down that extreme Way again.
Suguru was very reliable when they were separated.
His psychological age was at least eighteen.
Satoru was just like that.
His psychological age was at most eight years old.
But once the two were together, Eichi suspected that their combined psychological age would not even reach ten years.
However, Eichi did not think there was anything wrong with that.
After all, having a friend who allows you to shed all pretense and burdens and fully express yourself is something to be happy about.
Many people, even with their parents and spouses, cannot relax the way Satoru and Suguru can.
"Speaking of Tokyo Jujutsu High, how is everyone doing lately?"
Suguru seemed to remember something, and the disgust on his face faded into a warm smile.
Seeing that smile, Eichi's mood also improved considerably.
"Satoru is still the same, working overtime every day, occasionally returning to school to teach part time.
Nanami, you know him, he is always reliable in everything he does. He was promoted to Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer a while ago.
Choso is still the same, constantly doting on his two younger brothers.
Shoko successfully quit smoking, but the principal's alcohol suffered for it, and her dark circles have gotten worse recently."
As soon as they talked about the Tokyo Jujutsu High, the two chatted like old friends, with countless things they wanted to share.
"Speaking of which, the principal seems to have not returned to the Tokyo Jujutsu High for a long time."
Eichi suddenly felt something was strange.
"Is he on a mission?"
When Masamichi was still their homeroom teacher, he would also go on missions.
However, after being promoted to principal, he had not gone on any missions.
"I do not know. I will ask."
Eichi felt something was amiss.
Because of Masamichi's passion for education and his sense of responsibility toward his students,
He would often stay at the Tokyo Jujutsu High even on holidays.
His sudden disappearance for several days without any explanation was truly abnormal.
Soon, Zen'in Shuji sent Eichi the information he wanted.
Opening the message, there was only one line of text.
According to internal sources at Jujutsu Headquarters, Principal Yaga is currently undergoing assessment for Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer by Jujutsu Headquarters and cannot be contacted by the outside world for the time being.
Zen'in Shuji.
