"That school uniform looks like it's from the junior high section. Why are they here?"
"Shh, they'll hear you."
"It's fine, why are you so scared?"
"You don't know anything. Those two are delinquents. I heard they defeated the strongest delinquent around here in one move."
"No way?"
Similar conversations had been happening frequently since the two entered the high school building.
Neither Eiji nor Suguru Geto particularly enjoyed excessive socializing, so during school breaks, they usually stuck together or went their separate ways.
After school, they often went to exorcise Cursed Spirits, rarely interacting with other classmates.
Therefore, the biggest impression they made on both the junior high and high school sections was that the two of them had teamed up to subdue all the delinquents.
It was said that later these delinquents found many "seniors" from the streets, but these two defeated them with a "hundred-man kill" record.
In short, the more terrifying the story, the more it spread.
Eiji had no intention of refuting any of it. After all, he had understood a principle in his past life:
No matter when, if you try to prove yourself according to others' demands, you've already lost, regardless of the outcome.
"Geto."
Eiji signaled Suguru Geto with his eyes.
Suguru Geto nodded, understanding.
A seam quietly split open in the shadows beside them.
Several Fly Heads crawled out. Some flew to the students' heads, while others clung to their feet, interfering with them without causing any harm.
Soon, the two escaped the crowd and reached the rooftop.
"It really wasn't an illusion."
As soon as they arrived at the high school section, the two had immediately gone to check on the girl who fell from the rooftop, but they found nothing.
That's right, the girl's body had disappeared.
But now, looking at the messy footprints on the ground, Eiji was certain that everything that had just happened was real.
"I found those people from earlier. They're in the infirmary."
"The infirmary? Did they take the girl there for treatment?"
Eiji was a little surprised, but if that were the case, it would just be a false alarm.
"No, the Cursed Spirit didn't see any injured people, only those few bullies from earlier."
As he spoke, Suguru Geto clenched his fists, his eyes icy cold.
Eiji knew that Suguru Geto must be filled with rage at the moment.
In fact, Eiji was also angry, but his greater experience gave him more composure.
"Let's go take a look. We need to find out what happened. If it was bullying..."
Eiji didn't finish his sentence, but Suguru Geto knew what he meant: they had to teach them a lesson and make them receive their due punishment.
"Rabbit Escape."
Eiji, following behind Suguru Geto, silently summoned Rabbit Escape and began a carpet search of the entire high school.
The reason for doing this was that Eiji felt a strong sense of dissonance.
This feeling had been present since they entered the high school section. The strange sense of dissonance, combined with the disappearing corpse, made Eiji extremely vigilant about the current situation.
The two had personally witnessed the girl fall from the rooftop. During their rush to the high school section, their eyes had been fixed on the spot where the girl had fallen.
Yet, the body had still vanished. Even Nue in the sky hadn't noticed.
Nue had only glanced at the bodies of the few people who went down from the rooftop before disappearing. Taking a body in just a few seconds was clearly beyond human capability.
Led by Suguru Geto, the two quickly arrived in front of the infirmary door.
*BANG!*
Suguru Geto yanked the infirmary door open with force, slamming it against the door frame with a loud noise.
The sudden commotion clearly startled the people inside the infirmary.
Suguru Geto strode into the infirmary, his legs spread wide, the buttons of his collar and sleeves undone, his face practically overflowing with anger.
"Hey, be careful."
The two boys and two girls in the infirmary immediately adopted defensive stances.
"Ah, what's wrong, Ise-kun?"
Asuka, suddenly pulled behind Ise Takahiro, was flustered and a little shy.
"This guy is tough to deal with."
Although not a delinquent, Ise Takahiro, who had excellent physical fitness, had dealt with some delinquents before and had personally witnessed Suguru Geto beat up over a dozen delinquents by himself.
Ise Takahiro, seeing Suguru Geto's furious expression and combat stance, instinctively pulled Asuka behind him to protect her.
"What did you just do?"
Unexpectedly, Suguru Geto didn't attack immediately.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Urushi Shota, wearing glasses and looking like a model student, asked from the side.
Suguru Geto's gaze shifted, fixing intently on Urushi Shota.
"You were the one who made the move just now, weren't you?"
"Huh?"
Made a move? What move? Could it be...
As if realizing something, Urushi Shota quickly spoke up to explain.
"No, don't talk here if you don't know anything..."
Hearing Urushi Shota's continued denial, Suguru Geto, his patience exhausted, threw a punch at him.
"Wait a moment."
Ise Takahiro stepped forward, crossing his arms to block Suguru Geto's attack.
Even without using Cursed Energy, Suguru Geto's attack sent Ise Takahiro flying.
Ise Takahiro crashed into Urushi Shota behind him, and the two of them fell to the ground.
"Ise-kun."
Asuka, ignoring her companions' attempts to stop her, rushed to Ise Takahiro's side. Suguru Geto, who was about to deliver another kick, was forced to halt his actions.
"My name is Dongfang Eiji. What's yours?"
Seeing that Suguru Geto's attack had some restraint, Eiji ignored him and walked over to a girl who was trembling all over, clearly terrified.
"Rie. My name is Rie."
The girl in front of Eiji had teary eyes and a pale face, clearly traumatized.
Suguru Geto was the one who attacked, why is she looking at me so scared?
Eiji scratched his head helplessly, but the next moment, he noticed that the girl named Rie wasn't looking at him, but rather behind him.
Is there something at the infirmary entrance?
Confused, Eiji turned around, and a disheveled figure came into view.
He saw a girl with a messy school uniform, several tears in it, and her neck bent at an unnatural angle, as if broken, towards her shoulder.
When did she appear?
Eiji hadn't sensed the girl's arrival at all. He looked at Rabbit Escape, who shook its head. Eiji understood what Rabbit Escape meant.
She appeared out of nowhere.
"Do you need treatment?"
As Eiji asked, he adjusted his stance, preparing hand seals.
The girl before him was too strange. Her skin was deathly pale, and judging by the damage to her clothes, she should have suffered severe injuries. Yet, apart from her broken neck, there were no visible wounds on her body.
Furthermore, the girl's eyes were vacant, not like those of a normal person.
Seeing this, Suguru Geto stopped confronting the other three people in the room and stood beside Eiji, warily watching this unidentified person.
"Are you a Jujutsu Sorcerer?"
"Doesn't seem like it."
As the two spoke softly, the girl, who looked like a corpse, finally spoke.
"Please help me find my body."
"Hm?"
"What did you say?"
Eiji and Suguru Geto looked at the girl suspiciously.
The girl didn't answer their questions. After saying that, she turned and left.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in Eiji's heart.
"Hey, Geto."
"What is it?"
Suguru Geto, who was about to pursue her, stopped.
"I think we've been cursed."
"What?"
At this moment, a new situation arose in the infirmary.
