Chapter 131: The Sorcery High Special Invasion Incident!

~6 min read 1,050 words

How long has Itako Yuta been exposed to sorcery? How long has Shengzai Wen been exposed to sorcery?

Anyone with eyes can see that Shengzai’s growth potential is immense; given time, even if he doesn’t surpass Itako Yuta, he will certainly be among the most likely to become a Special Grade Sorcerer.

“Gojo Satoru, I believe this child should be trained by our Kyoto branch—we both come from Sendai City, so it’s only right that I guide him personally.”

Previously, Shengzai’s talent, though impressive enough to be called “genius,” had been snatched away by the notorious rogue Gojo Satoru; An Kageki could only consider herself unlucky.

But now, with Shengzai revealing his sorcery abilities once again, An Kageki felt she must fight for him without mercy.

Gojo Satoru is indeed the pinnacle of sorcerers, but as a teacher, his competence and sense of responsibility? An Kageki naturally shook her head in disappointment.

Of course, this isn’t to say Gojo lacks responsibility or abandons his students entirely; the root cause is simply that, as a Special Grade Sorcerer, he is far too busy.

An Kageki believed Shengzai’s talent and ability were top-tier; with proper guidance, he would surely become a Special Grade Sorcerer. Staying with Gojo and being left to fend for himself would be a terrible waste of this child’s potential.

As an old acquaintance since their youth, Gojo Satoru naturally knew An Kageki’s words carried no ill intent.

So now he said carelessly: “You don’t need to worry about that—Shengzai has already taken Kaya Shizuko as his master.”

“You know Kaya’s personality better than I do; if she accepted Shengzai as her disciple, she will certainly give him her full dedication.”

Everyone present knew who Kaya Shizuko was—she was hailed as the “Treasure of the Academy.”

“You say Kaya is his teacher? That means he can use Reverse Cursed Technique!”

An Kageki was utterly stunned, and in her mind, Shengzai was now firmly categorized among the monsters like Gojo Satoru and Itako Yuta.

“I didn’t know that—he’s only been studying with Kaya for a week—but Kaya, of all people, seems unusually satisfied with Shengzai as her disciple. I’ve rarely seen her praise anyone so highly.”

Yes, after a week, Shengzai had successfully passed Kaya Shizuko’s evaluation and formally became her disciple.

During this time, Kaya Shizuko had been profoundly astonished by Shengzai’s talent and ability, even claiming he was a genius sorcerer comparable to Gojo Satoru.

Reverse Cursed Technique is an extremely difficult sorcery technique, yet Shengzai had barely mastered it in just one week—and even extended his understanding, developing his own techniques of Crush Fist, Steel Fist, and Swift Fist through his experiments with cursed energy manipulation.

His talent and potential were extraordinary enough, but this teenager also excelled in social graces and worldly wisdom—truly flawless in every aspect.

Due to frequent night shifts and sleepless nights, Kaya Shizuko, despite being a woman, lived a disorganized daily life.

As Kaya Shizuko’s only disciple, Shengzai, while working in her studio, not only brewed coffee for her and assisted with tasks within his ability, but also carefully attended to her daily needs.

In short, after barely over a week, Kaya Shizuko already felt she could not do without Shengzai’s care.

This is also why Shengzai always arrives late when attending exchange events with sister schools.

With Shengzai as her “perfect assistant,” Kaya Shizuko even felt her workload had become significantly lighter than before.

Now, even if Gojo Satoru, her old classmate, came to steal her student, Kaya Shizuko would never yield!

Come on—where else could you find a disciple who is obedient, capable, gifted, and full of potential?

Yet just as Shengzai was battling the Kyoto branch personnel, and An Kageki was lamenting that such an outstanding student wasn’t hers,

a massive barrier suddenly descended like a curtain, enveloping the entire battle zone where Shengzai and others fought.

The sudden sight left both the students trapped inside the barrier and the teachers locked outside utterly stunned.

The Special Grade Cursed Spirit Man, who had previously encountered Higurashi, and the human curse user Kumiya Tansou appeared together atop the sorcery academy’s roof, watching the descending curtain with cold smirks.

Concerned for the students’ safety within the barrier, the principals of both schools—Yona Masamichi and Gakusenji—and the advisor teachers Gojo Satoru and An Kageki hurried to the barrier’s location.

As a school training the next generation of sorcerers, the Sorcery High Special had adequate security measures—but the fact that enemies had infiltrated and casually erected such a barrier could only mean one thing: there was a traitor among them.

Of course, regardless of who the traitor was, that was no longer the priority; the priority now was the safety of the students inside the barrier.

All the young sorcerers from both schools were trapped inside—they are the future of the entire sorcery world. The enemy’s grand scheme clearly targeted them.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding—!”

Just as Gojo Satoru and the others were rushing toward the barrier, Gojo’s phone suddenly rang in his pocket as he ran.

Gojo had initially intended to ignore it—after all, compared to the students’ safety, everything else could wait.

But when he realized the caller was Shengzai, he paused, then answered the call.

“Shengzai, how’s it going over there?”

As Gojo answered, the group had reached the barrier’s edge. Gojo, who had intended to force his way in, found that while An Kageki and Gakusenji could penetrate the barrier, it strongly resisted him.

Clearly, the barrier’s creator had sacrificed general resistance and amplified only the defense against Gojo, specifically to stop him.

“Inside the barrier, a Special Grade Cursed Spirit appeared—its entire body white, with a single tree-branch-like eye.”

“Its power isn’t weak, but honestly, I find the situation unfolding rather strange.”

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru was momentarily stunned. Then, remembering Shengzai’s maturity far beyond his years, he glanced at An Kageki and the old Gakusenji beside him, and asked directly: “What exactly seems strange to you?”

On the other end of the line, Shengzai paused briefly before speaking: “I don’t know who the invaders are, but if their target is the students of Sorcery High Special—”

“Don’t you think it’s odd that they sent only one Special Grade Cursed Spirit to attack us? The force seems insufficient.”
