Chapter 347: Different Missions, Same People

“Is this mission for a school?”

Megumi Fushiguro diligently perused the request handed to him by Ieiri Kiyotaka.

Although he was now in a high position, Ieiri Kiyotaka and Nitta Akari would still personally arrange missions related to the High School.

On one hand, it was out of care for the High School students; they were still children, and it was better for him to personally oversee the missions assigned to them.

On the other hand, handling these missions allowed him to return to the High School frequently.

Mission Location: Sugisawa Third High School, Miyagi Prefecture

Mission Content: Exorcise Cursed Spirits that have recently appeared on campus.

Note: Due to the Cursed Spirits rarely appearing during the day, their exact strength cannot be accurately determined, but it is estimated to be between Grade 2 and Grade 1.

“I accept this mission.”

“I will arrange for an Assistant Supervisor to take you there.”

Ieiri Kiyotaka nodded.

He was not worried about Megumi Fushiguro’s safety.

After all, Megumi Fushiguro was already a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer; he could even fight a Special Grade and directly exorcise weaker Special Grade Cursed Spirits.

The reason for assigning this mission to Megumi Fushiguro, a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, was partly because Megumi Fushiguro was nearby, and partly because the “Window” could not accurately determine the strength of the Cursed Spirits, so it requested the deployment of at least a Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer for the exorcism mission.

That’s why Ieiri Kiyotaka came to Megumi Fushiguro, a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.

After all, when Ieiri Kiyotaka was a first-year student, he encountered a situation where Yu Haibara nearly died due to incorrect information from the “Window”… Sugisawa Third High School, Paranormal Research Club activity room.

Yuji Itadori and his two Seniors were confronting the student council president with full Aura.

The reason for the confrontation was that the student council president had come to reclaim the Paranormal Research Club’s activity room.

The reason given was that the club had not held any meaningful activities for a long time.

Junior high and High School extracurricular activities in the island nation are very rich, with clubs being a huge and important part.

But even with a wide variety of clubs and relaxed management, they couldn’t just be formed at will.

After all, a school’s resources are ultimately limited, and clubs that don’t hold activities or have no practical meaning are regularly cleared out, with their activity rooms and resources given to other clubs.

“We’ve been holding activities properly, don’t underestimate your Seniors.”

“What activities?”

The student council president looked at Yuji Itadori with suspicious eyes.

Yuji Itadori and his group laughed triumphantly.

“Do you know about the rugby field that was closed a while ago?”

“Yes, because some players experienced discomfort on the field, so it was temporarily closed.”

Hearing the student council president’s words, Yuji Itadori and his group’s smiles grew even more triumphant.

Then, under the student council president’s speechless expression, the group went from players’ physical conditions to strange sounds on the field, from the school’s construction 30 years ago to missing construction workers… After half a day of extensive deduction, the three concluded.

The reason players on the rugby field felt unwell was due to the malevolent spirits at the location.

“No, it’s because of ticks.”

Looking at the three triumphant individuals in front of him, the student council president, who finally found an opportunity to interject, ruthlessly stated the fact.

The three instantly turned to stone.

“Ultimately, the most important problem is you, Yuji Itadori!”

The student council president turned and pointed at Yuji Itadori.

“Huh?”

Yuji Itadori pointed at himself strangely, seemingly not understanding why the blame had suddenly shifted to him.

“You are not even a member of the Paranormal Research Club! The Paranormal Research Club doesn’t meet the minimum requirement of three members for a club!”

Click.

Yuji Itadori froze, and the two Seniors behind him gave him looks as if he were a traitor.

“Me, not a member of the Paranormal Research Club?”

This feeling was like attending classes in a classroom for a year, and then the homeroom teacher suddenly told you that you belonged to the class next door.

“That’s right, you’re a member of the track and field club!”

Thud.

With a dull thud, Takagi, the sports teacher and track and field advisor at Third High School, who had unilaterally altered Yuji Itadori’s club application and reminded one of an old bull, appeared.

‘It’s over, a teacher even more abnormal than these students has appeared.’

The student council president was instantly pushed back by the Aura of the two, and at the same time, couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

After striking down Teacher Takagi to the point of questioning his life with his physical prowess, which was even more absurd than a gorilla’s, Yuji Itadori once again applied to rejoin the Paranormal Research Club.

The reason was that Third High School required students to join a club, and Yuji Itadori needed to leave early to take care of his grandfather in the hospital.

The Paranormal Research Club’s activities were mostly in the evening, allowing him to leave early, and the Senior of the club also said he could leave whenever he wanted after school.

“Oh, right.”

Before leaving, Yuji Itadori reached into his backpack and rummaged around.

“Here, this is for you.”

Yuji Itadori handed Senior Sasaki a strange box.

“I found it today; I thought you’d like it, so I kept it.”

“Nani Nani?”

Senior Sasaki curiously opened the wooden box and found a strange object covered in talismans.

“I see, this indeed has a very eerie atmosphere, thank you.”

Before Senior Ozawa could finish speaking, Yuji Itadori ran off.

Meanwhile, Megumi Fushiguro, who had just arrived at Third High School, was investigating the Cursed Spirits on campus.

Suddenly, Megumi Fushiguro turned around as if he had been electrocuted.

‘Such dense curses, what’s wrong with that boy? Is he cursed?’

The moment the two brushed past each other, Megumi Fushiguro felt an extremely terrifying cursed Aura.

‘I can’t just leave it be.’

Having made up his mind, Megumi Fushiguro decided to first deal with the curse on the pink-haired boy.

There was still some time until sunset, so the Cursed Spirits at the school could wait.

After all, there were too many students here now, and he couldn’t use Jujutsu in front of so many people.

Moreover, Cursed Spirits were not active during the day, especially in crowded places.

Therefore, dealing with the curse on the boy as quickly as possible, and then returning to the school at night to exorcise the curses within the school, was the most reasonable method to save everyone.

However, as Megumi Fushiguro chased, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

‘So fast, and when he threw the shot put earlier too, this person’s physical strength is incredible.’

Megumi Fushiguro unconsciously began to compare Yuji Itadori to his father.

Ever since Toji Fushiguro had repeatedly defeated Man and saved Fushiguro Tsumiki, Megumi Fushiguro’s perception of him had improved significantly.

At least he no longer constantly felt rebellious towards his father.

‘He’s still not as strong as him.’

Although he concluded that his father was stronger, the most important problem remained unsolved.

That was, he simply couldn’t catch up to the pink-haired boy in front of him.

Watching Yuji Itadori disappear around the corner, Megumi Fushiguro helplessly called an Assistant Supervisor, preparing to chase by car.
