My abilities aren't suited for the front lines anyway. The King means for me to secretly kill all those who are hindering his progress, so that he can manage the entire Japanese jujutsu higher-ups in a stable and blameless manner. What a profound meaning!
And that sentence, "This place needs you more," isn't that just entrusting the young lady to me?
It also means that the King has entrusted this family to me. What great honor, this is the King's trust in me. He's assessing me, it's too great!
"I will complete the task that the King has given me, please rest assured."
"..."
Looking at Diablo, who had an excited expression, Yuuki muttered in his heart: 'This free labor is really good. As an assassin, he should be able to effectively prevent that group of old guys from stealing the home.
After all, he still remembers the Itadori incident. A bunch of old guys who can't be controlled will use a borrowed knife to kill, and I can't leave them with any handles.'
"Mm, I'll leave it to you, bye-bye."
"It's a great honor, Your Highness."
Yuuki quickly left, and when he walked to the training grounds, he saw that the lights in the principal's office were still on, and it was estimated that Principal Yaga was watching him.
Although his vision was blurry, he could still distinguish the light source, and along with the fact that he had been living here for a year and a half, it would be bad if he couldn't even distinguish where the principal's office was.
He waved at it, and walked towards the forest.
Yuuki was really right, and Yaga Masamichi was currently watching him leave by the window, and he looked at Gojo Satoru, who had just returned, and said, "Yuuki is leaving, aren't you going to come and see him?"
"He's not leaving forever anyway, and we can still see each other."
After Gojo Satoru finished speaking, he began to think deeply. Those Special Grade Cursed Spirits who had been traveling together had actually taken advantage of his trip abroad to slaughter over a thousand people, and what was even more crucial was how did they know that he had gone abroad?
It looked like there was a spy at Jujutsu High...
The reason why Maki and the others hadn't shown up wasn't because they were heartless, but it was because he should respect his choice since he had chosen to leave; moreover, they had already agreed to reunite at the Goodwill Event, and they would display all their words in their actions.
[23:58]
Yuuki, who had already reshaped the 『Bird』 that had been stopped in the forest into a pile of small birds, walked out of the forest, and walked towards the training grounds.
And two people were standing on the training grounds, which had originally been empty. The two people's faces were covered by black cloths, and they were wearing white kimonos on their upper bodies, and black trousers on their lower bodies, and their waists were wrapped tightly with white cloths, and the whole person looked extremely neat, and they also emitted killing intent.
"It's time to leave with us, Yuuki-san."
One of them spoke after seeing Yuuki walking over.
"Don't be in such a hurry."
Yuuki, who had sensed the arrival of the two, took out his repaired phone, and looked at the time and said, "It's not 24:00 yet, and I've still arrived very punctually."
Faced with the two older jujutsu sorcerers in front of him, Yuuki smiled and his eyes narrowed; "Don't you have any good-looking clothes? It must be very hot to wear like this in the summer, and you're wearing long sleeves and long pants, and you've even strangled your waists with a white cloth, and what do you do when you go to the bathroom? Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?"
"..."
The two were speechless by Yuuki's questions, and their fists clenched unconsciously, but they also remembered that they couldn't beat him, and their clenched hands loosened again, and they reached out and grabbed the young man in front of them, and said, "Don't talk so much, and you just have to follow us next."
"Okay, okay."
Yuuki didn't resist either, and at the moment that his right hand was grabbed, he continued to ask, "What's the strength of the Directorate like? Can I walk around sideways? If I can, then please let me be idle, and give me a lot of money, so that I can live out my old age in peace in the future."
"..."
The two wanted to seal Yuuki's mouth at this moment, and were these words that a person could say?
It wasn't that Yuuki had suddenly changed his personality, but it was that he had originally been very mischievous, and he just felt that it was very interesting to make a small joke with them at this moment, but these jokes were all his true feelings.
As the three people left the training grounds, the lights inside the principal's office were also turned off not long after.
...
"Creak…"
As the wooden door, which was somewhat old, was opened, Yuuki was brought to the Jujutsu Directorate by the two, and inside the house, the Japanese jujutsu higher-ups were sitting;
To call it the Jujutsu Directorate was more like some old houses, and maybe those people were nostalgic, and they could only feel at ease by living in houses from the last century.
"Go in, and the adults are waiting for you inside."
Yuuki glanced at the two, and then walked in; as the door behind him slowly closed, the young man began to pay attention to the situation inside.
This was a corridor, and red pillars were erected on both sides of the corridor, and the space about 1.5 meters off the ground had been hollowed out, and lit candles were placed inside, and it seemed mysterious and eerie, and a sense of déjà vu of entering a church arose spontaneously.
Walking deep along the path that had been lit by candles, Yuuki didn't turn on Sage Mode to peek at what the higher-ups looked like, because he could kill them at any time at this moment.
The main thing was that it was meaningless to peek at them, and he could just ask Gojo-sensei where their homes were, and as the head of the Three Great Clans, he would probably be able to easily obtain this information.
"Pat—"
The sound of footsteps spread and echoed on this silent corridor, and the young man, who was carrying a black backpack, was moving forward unhurriedly, and it was already one o'clock in the morning at this moment.
"Pat—"
After arriving at the end, Yuuki stood in the middle of five barriers, and the light above his head illuminated his figure, and the calmness on his face was completely displayed at this moment.
"You've come, Yuuki."
A serious voice was transmitted from the barrier in front of him, and Yuuki nodded and said, "Mm, I've come according to the agreement."
"The Kamo Clan's matter wasn't your fault, and we will never impose the blame on you for the things that they deserved, and having you come under our management is also to prevent you from going down the wrong path…"
As if he was comforting a child, the old man behind the barrier was full of concern in his words at this moment.
Yuuki was just silently listening, and he couldn't say anything, after all, he really couldn't kill them, and the jujutsu higher-ups had an extremely large influence in the Japanese jujutsu world.
This kind of speech that was like political hypnosis also went in one ear and out the other for Yuuki, and although he was 16 years old, it didn't mean that his intelligence was still at 16 years old, and although he would still do things without thinking sometimes, wasn't this exactly what this age should have?
He also knew the teaching theory of giving a beating and then giving a piece of candy, and he even played it better than them, but it was just that he was somewhat dark, but this was just a microcosm of this society.
Seeing that there wasn't any emotion in Yuuki's eyes, the man behind the barrier simply didn't say anything, and he cursed in his heart: 'Damn it, this kid doesn't even put the Kamo Clan in his eyes? I didn't see him have any remorse in his eyes even after saying so much.'
He cleared his throat and said, "We're still considering your Special Grade promotion assessment, and if you perform well…"
Before the old man could finish speaking, Yuuki waved his hand and said, "It's okay, and I don't really care about this assessment either, and I'm a relatively introverted person, and I don't like to be in the limelight too much, so give the Special Grade or whatever to other people, and I feel like Toudou Aoi is pretty good."
"..."
This caused the old man, who had originally been preparing to use fame and fortune and status to bribe him, to be stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
This young man was like a clear mirror, and he didn't want anything, and even though he had the strength, he didn't pursue a higher position…
"Ahem, I'll just say it directly then."
An old man on the side opened his mouth, and his voice was relatively sharp; "We've arranged a mission for you, an overseas mission, and as long as you can successfully complete it, you'll be the fourth Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer in Japan."
"..."
Yuuki looked over, and there weren't many days left before the Goodwill Event at this moment, and this overseas mission…
Although he didn't really want to accept it, he considered that he had the existence of the 『Bird』, and he could cross borders at any time, and it wouldn't be particularly difficult to come back, and there were just these cursed spirits in Japan, and there were just a few Specials coming and going, and he had challenged half of them by himself, but the points were still far apart, and maybe going abroad to strengthen his strength was the best choice at this moment.
He asked, "What mission?"
"Go to China and retrieve the 『Special Grade Cursed Tool』 · 『Spear of Heaven』."
"..."
Looking at Yuuki, who was silent, the old man, whose voice was relatively sharp, continued, "It won't take too long, and we've already found out the movements, and he's in the hands of Lu Xiaoyao, a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer in China. And this cursed tool originally belonged to our country, and I just want you to retrieve it, and let this lost 『Special Grade Cursed Tool』 return to the country, and there won't be any international disputes, and I guarantee it. If you accept it, you can go abroad tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yuuki's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and then he began to think, and it was in the hands of a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer in China, and no wonder they had called him over, and it turned out that there was no one who could retrieve it;
There were three Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers in Japan, and there was no need to talk about Gojo Satoru and Okkotsu Yuuta, and one wouldn't pay any attention to this group of old guys at all, and one was currently in India, and there was also Tsukumo Yuki, who seemed to be drifting in other countries, and he wasn't too clear about it, and he hadn't seen her, and she was too mysterious;
There were three Specials, and there was just one in the country, and he was the kind who was a thief and didn't listen to anyone, and it was estimated that they were all panicking.
What was most crucial was that he smelled the aura of being able to profit from it: "I'll accept it, but I want the ownership of that Special Grade cursed tool."
That's right, Yuuki was asking for a high price, and he wanted to monopolize that Special Grade cursed tool, and it was because they had no one to retrieve it.
"Impossible."
"I can."
A relatively vicissitudinous voice interrupted, "If you can bring back that Special Grade cursed tool, it'll belong to you, but you have to set up a 『Contract』 here, and that is that you will hand over everything that you own to the highest authority in the Japanese jujutsu world after your death."
"I can."
He was very decisive, and Yuuki didn't hesitate at all, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it was as if a devil had signed a contract with a human, and this was his most simple smile;
Because he was "immortal", and there was no death to talk about since his soul wouldn't be destroyed, and the ownership of this Special Grade cursed tool now belonged to him.
"Someone will go and pick you up at the airport tomorrow, and that cursed tool."
The old man glanced at the backpack behind Yuuki, and paused, and continued, "It might be a bit troublesome to bring a Special Grade cursed tool into another country, and we'll prepare entry procedures for you, and you'll have to solve the rest yourself, and leave if there's nothing else."
"Mm, it's not really anything major."
Yuuki nodded, and in fact, even if he knew about the sorcerer who possessed the Special Grade cursed tool in advance, it would have been difficult for him to go, because that would have been illegal entry, and he would have been wanted, and if the conditions had allowed, he would definitely have entered the country through normal means, after all, he was a jujutsu sorcerer.
Special Grade cursed tools…
He wouldn't mind having as many of these things as possible, after all, he had practiced with them no matter what, and his hands wouldn't be too unfamiliar.
As Yuuki left, the old man, whose voice was relatively sharp, opened his mouth and said, "Why give it to him? You have to know that that Special Grade cursed tool had almost killed Gojo Satoru in Toji's hands, and if we give it to him, wouldn't he escape our control even faster?!"
"That's just a defective product, and who knows if the 『Forcibly Cancel Activated Techniques』 effect that it possesses is still there, and Gojo Satoru took it away back then and threw it abroad to seal it up;
This is a small gamble, and his remains will belong to us after his death, and can it be that that broken Special Grade cursed tool is more important than the secrets inside his body?"
After the man finished speaking, the rest of the people revealed smiles in their mouths, and it seemed that both sides felt that they had profited, but they hadn't completely profited.
Yuuki might have obtained a Special Grade cursed tool that didn't have any effects; and the jujutsu higher-ups would never be able to obtain his remains, unless someone could kill him.
[August 7th, 8:05]
"The flight from Tokyo to Beijing has already started boarding..."
At the prosperous Tokyo airport, Yuuki glanced at the flight, and then got up, and was holding his passport, Japanese Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer Certificate, ID card, and bank card, and he was carrying a black sling bag on his body, and he was wearing a black baseball cap on his head, and Gojo Satoru's signature sunglasses;
The black mask covered his face, and it also covered the Sage Art pattern on his face, and maybe this was his first time going abroad in his life, and it made him somewhat excited, and he followed the crowd who were going to Beijing.
"Then I'll be leaving first, Yuuki."
A woman with dyed blonde hair, who was wearing a suit, waved and left, and her name was Nitta Akari, and she was a Jujutsu High assistant supervisor, and she was also the one who had sent Yuuki here.
"Mm, thank you for your hard work, and you came to pick me up at six o'clock, bye-bye."
Yuuki waved, and then followed the crowd to go and board the plane.
