"A designated mission for me and Altoria?"
Eiji, who had just woken up, looked at Masamichi Yaga with confusion.
"That's right. This incident has already caused 10 fishermen to go missing, and it's suspected to be a Special Grade Cursed Spirit."
Another Special Grade.
Eiji lowered his eyelids, his mind beginning to ponder.
Just moments ago, Eiji had received a message from Heroic Spirit Emiya, informing him that another Special Grade Cursed Spirit had appeared in the Nagasaki area.
Coincidence? Definitely not.
Should he refuse?
No, he had never refused a designated mission before. Refusing this one would be like telling others that he knew something.
He'd just have to deal with it as it comes.
Besides, he had already made arrangements.
Eiji opened his eyes.
"I understand. I'll head out after I change."
"Mhm."
Masamichi Yaga nodded and left.
However, shortly after Eiji departed, Masamichi Yaga received another designated mission for Jujutsu High students.
And this time, it wasn't from the Jujutsu Management Council, but a mission designated by Master Tengen.
"Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, huh."
Suddenly, except for Shoko Ieiri, who rarely took missions, all the other students at Jujutsu High had been assigned tasks?
And they were all being sent to different locations.
Masamichi Yaga sensed something was off.
While assigning missions to Jujutsu High students was common, they were rarely directly designated, and missions didn't usually pile up like this.
Normally, Eiji and the other four often went on missions together.
But this situation was different. Two rare Special Grade Cursed Spirits had appeared at once.
Furthermore, two out of the three missions involved Curse Users.
"But with their strength, they should be able to complete even Special Grade missions smoothly."
The corners of Masamichi Yaga's mouth curved upwards.
Although he constantly worried about these "talented" students, There was one thing he had to admit.
His students were strong; they were geniuses who could support the future of the Jujutsu World.
Splash.
The gymnasium door was pushed open, and the scene inside made Masamichi Yaga frown instantly.
Inside the gymnasium, two heads were stacked almost perfectly on top of each other.
The crucial point was that these two heads belonged to Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto.
"How long are you two going to play around?"
Masamichi Yaga's authoritative voice carried a hint of helplessness.
"We have a mission to give you."
As soon as Masamichi Yaga finished speaking, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto showed undisguised expressions of disgust.
They would have been happy if there was a mission during class, but today was their day off.
"Do you have any objections?"
"No." x2
Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto said in perfect unison.
Masamichi Yaga turned away, rubbing his temples in exasperation.
Was it really okay for Master Tengen to designate a mission to them? But then again, if it were the two of them...
The three of them chatted as they walked, soon arriving at a classroom.
"Escort and assassinate a young girl? Have you lost your mind?"
The contradiction in Masamichi Yaga's words made Satoru Gojo unable to help but question loudly.
If she was to be assassinated, why escort her?
And the target to be "assassinated" was a young girl?
Soon, with Masamichi Yaga's explanation and Suguru Geto's additions, Satoru Gojo received his answer.
The pillar of the Jujutsu World, Master Tengen, is unable to maintain their physical form due to aging. To prevent Master Tengen from evolving in a way that is detrimental to the Jujutsu World, they need to assimilate with a Star Plasma Vessel to rewrite their body and restore its youthful vitality.
"I see. While evolving into MetalGreymon would be great, it'd be troublesome if I ended up as Machinedramon, so it's better to just reset from Agumon and start over."
Satoru Gojo summarized it in an easy-to-understand way.
"You can think of it that way."
Suguru Geto was clearly shocked by his best friend's peculiar thought process.
"The problem is, the Star Plasma Vessel girl who is supposed to assimilate with Master Tengen has been targeted."
Masamichi Yaga opened the laptop on the desk and introduced the known information to the two of them.
"This mission is very important. If it fails, the impact will affect the stability of ordinary society. You two need to get yourselves together and complete this mission seriously."
Upon hearing how important the mission was, their expressions turned serious.
For these two geniuses, only such important missions could pique their interest.
Meanwhile, Eiji and Altoria were also on their way to the mission location by car.
The Assistant Supervisor in charge of their mission this time was not Shuji Zenin.
This also conveyed some information to Eiji.
After all, ever since Eiji enrolled in Jujutsu High, Shuji Zenin had always been by his side whenever they went on missions.
Therefore, Shuji Zenin could now be considered Eiji's exclusive butler.
However, for a crucial mission like exorcising a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, the Assistant Supervisor had been replaced by someone obscure and far less capable than Shuji Zenin.
'Are they planning to feed me false information to influence my judgment, or are they preparing to make a move behind my back?'
Eiji sized up the Assistant Supervisor driving the car.
'Too weak. They don't seem to have any special tricks up their sleeve. At most, they'll probably just use a pre-prepared Curtain to stop me from leaving.'
'If that's the case, then I don't need to worry. After all, I don't think any Curtain could withstand Altoria's Noble Phantasm.'
'All that's left is to influence my judgment with false information?'
This situation wasn't uncommon. After all, when a company faces a major problem, it's normal for the "intern" responsible for it to take the blame and be fired.
"Tell me about this mission's details."
"Yes."
The Assistant Supervisor driving the car immediately replied.
"Initially, several people on an island went missing. Later, the police who went to search for them also lost contact..."
The Assistant Supervisor reported everything from the beginning of the incident in meticulous detail to Eiji.
"Later, as the number of missing persons increased, The Window in the police station noticed the incident and went to investigate the scene. It was eventually confirmed to be the work of a Cursed Spirit."
The Assistant Supervisor breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the report in one go.
"Meticulous" also meant "long-winded."
"How did The Window determine that there was a suspected Special Grade Cursed Spirit here?"
This was what Eiji was most concerned about.
"It is said that the report was submitted by an Assistant Supervisor from the Jujutsu Management Council who came to investigate. That Assistant Supervisor is very capable..."
The Assistant Supervisor driving the car seemed to have opened a floodgate of gossip.
'It is said...'
Even irresponsible statements like "it is said" were being passed as intelligence to Jujutsu Sorcerers about to head into battle.
Confirmed. This young lady is just a rookie "intern."
The suspicion regarding the Assistant Supervisor was cleared. The next thing to be wary of was that Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
There are still 2 days until the assimilation with the Star Plasma Vessel. What kind of Cursed Spirit gives the mastermind the confidence to trap me for two days
