Shin, who was lying around bored at Jujutsu High, was suddenly called to the office by Masamichi.
"Kagura, Satoru had Mei Mei bring you a message. He said you can act according to your own will, and he will take responsibility for any consequences. So, from now on, whether you want to stay at Jujutsu High or leave and wreak havoc, it's up to you."
Masamichi naturally couldn't stand the Higher-Ups' "wait-and-see" turtle-like behavior. They were old, their thinking had become conservative, and they only sought to prevent the situation from worsening without actually thinking about how to solve it. While he wanted to resolve things, he felt powerless.
Masamichi also revealed some information to Shin.
"Right now, about a quarter of the Jujutsu Sorcerers in Tokyo are already secretly exorcising Cursed Spirits, including Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers like Nanami Kento and Mei Mei."
Shin rolled his eyes, feeling somewhat speechless.
'Why does it feel like Jujutsu Sorcerers are committing a crime by exorcising Cursed Spirits? Having to do it secretly... As expected, as long as that group of old Higher-Ups keeps occupying the power of the Jujutsu World, Jujutsu Sorcerers will never see a future.'

After greeting Megumi and the others, Shin left Jujutsu High, casually took an Assistant Supervisor's car, and arrived in Roppongi.
Roppongi, which should have been crowded with people, was now empty, with only one or two Grade 3 or 4 Cursed Spirits wandering the streets.
Shin looked up at the sky, which had become somewhat gloomy due to the Barrier covering it, and immediately saw a mass of Cursed Energy floating in the center of the Barrier. The size of the Cursed Energy mass was immense, and the light it emitted was dazzling. Even compared to a Barrier that could cover all of Tokyo, it was eye-catching enough.
"Is it really okay for the Higher-Ups to just leave this thing alone? If someone threw a cursed object into this level of Cursed Energy to catalyze it, a Special Grade Cursed Spirit could be born."
This was a mass of Cursed Energy formed by the negative emotions of all of Japan, attracted and condensed by the Barrier. Right now, it was just serving as the energy source to maintain the Barrier. It was unknown where it would be used once this Barrier was no longer needed.
He casually threw two TNTs, blowing up the Cursed Spirits on the street, and then strolled around Roppongi. The compass he held in his hand, which could track Kenjaku, was still spinning in circles.
"He's certainly cautious. Well, there's nothing I can do about that."
Shin had to settle for the next best thing, choosing to let the compass find the nearest Special Grade Cursed Spirit.

At this moment, Kenjaku was indeed inside the Barrier. Through information relayed by Cursed Spirits, he learned that Shin had already left Jujutsu High. He immediately rushed toward Jujutsu High, followed by a giant ape Cursed Spirit, which carried a humanoid object on its back covered in sealing talismans like a mummy.
"Without electronic devices, how will you know that Jujutsu High is under attack? Kagura Shin... By the time you return to Jujutsu High, my plan will already be half successful. So what if you're strong? Gojo is also strong, but as long as I hide in the shadows, you can't do anything to me."
Kenjaku was playing on the information gap. He had eyes within the Higher-Ups of the Jujutsu World, and all the Cursed Spirits on the streets were his informants. He could know Shin's location at any time and hide, while Shin could only trail behind and eat his dust.
However, he still instinctively sped up, quickly arriving outside the Barrier of Jujutsu High. He couldn't be bothered to infiltrate, there was no one at Jujutsu High right now who could stop him, as long as he acted quickly to resolve everything.
The Barrier of Jujutsu High had no defensive capabilities, it could only identify unregistered Cursed Energy and sound an alarm. The alarm did indeed sound, but Jujutsu High only had four combatants left: Masamichi, Megumi, Yuji, and Junpei, along with one healer, Shoko.
Everyone else with combat capabilities had been pulled out and spread across various areas of Tokyo for safety maintenance.
Masamichi kicked open the office door and looked toward the student dormitory.
"An attacker! The target is the student dormitory? Oh no!"
As Masamichi's Cursed Energy surged, a large number of dolls in the office all came to life as if imbued with vitality. A pink pig-shaped doll suddenly expanded in size, nudged Masamichi onto its back, and then galloped off toward the student dormitory.
(Masamichi: It's not a pig, it's Elephant-chan!)
Boom!
The three who had been drawn out by the alarm had only just left the dormitory and ran a few steps when they came face-to-face with Kenjaku.
However, Kenjaku was currently completely shrouded in a black robe, which was covered in numerous Barrier techniques to prevent detection by Shin, and also to prevent others from recognizing this body.
Although Yuji had seen his face last time, Satoru could at best only guess that this body was Suguru's, but could not confirm it. However, if Masamichi were to see it, things would be difficult to handle.
Kenjaku didn't waste any words and immediately activated his Cursed Technique.
Antigravity System!
