Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1428 - 1005: A Silent Departure

Question: Is Gojo Satoru a good principal?

Answer: You’re fucking kidding me.

The above content comes from all the teachers and students at both Tokyo High and Capital City High Jujutsu Schools, including but not limited to Reiger, Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, Kugisaki Nobara, and even Okkotsu Yuta and Hakari Kinji, from the second and third years.

When the news that Gojo Satoru was going to become the principal of Tokyo High was released, the people at Capital City High only thought that the Jujutsu Headquarters had lost their minds, while those at Tokyo High were terrified, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse, leaving them in despair.

Meanwhile, the person in question wasn’t self-aware at all, laughing heartily there.

"I knew it, I’m very good at the education industry."

When he said this, if not because they knew they couldn’t beat him, Itadori Yuji and the others might have wanted to raise their fists and group beat him.

Today’s celebration party also had the purpose of celebrating Gojo Satoru’s appointment.

Though no one felt willing about it, the decision was already made and couldn’t be opposed.

Only Reiger eventually became indifferent, even teasing Gojo Satoru about it.

The reason was simple.

"Are you really planning to leave the Jujutsu High School?"

Ignoring Reiger’s talks of settling down, Gojo Satoru confirmed this matter.

"Yes." Reiger nodded calmly and said, "I’ve achieved my purpose of entering Jujutsu High School, and now I want to go around on my own, to see the world."

This time of Dimensional Travel is quite long, a total of 300 days.

But doing the math, these 300 days don’t have much left.

When I first came into this world, it was July 2018, when the Special Grade Imaginary Curse Spirit incident at the juvenile detention center happened.

Now it’s already January 2019, more than half a year has passed.

Which means, Reiger can stay in this world for about three more months.

Three months, it’s not short, but it’s not long either.

And during this period, rather than staying at Jujutsu High, it’s better to go outside and take a walk.

There’s no choice, there’s nothing left at Jujutsu High that Reiger wants to learn, the techniques that should have been learned have been learned, staying here and running missions with Itadori Yuji and the others is not as good as going outside to find curse spirits.

Although the series of events caused by Sukuna and Knot has ended, the massive curse energy filled within the Destruction Revisit Barrier has already been purified by Reiger, but the successive disastrous events that occurred during this time have caused great panic among the public.

This will undoubtedly lead to an explosive increase in ordinary people’s negative emotions in a short time, resulting in overflowing curse energy that will still form many curse spirits.

Plus, a series of events have led to the emergence of a large number of curse spirits, now outside there’s no shortage of curse spirits.

In such a situation, Reiger can travel while exorcising curse spirits, using them to adapt to his current level of power, and perhaps see some useful techniques if he encounters a semi-first-grade or above curse spirit.

Of course, the latter is just by the way, Reiger has seen quite a few techniques until now, but the ones that can really be useful in a battle at his level are few, what he uses most are the small number of powerful techniques led by the [Limitless Curse Technique], the rest are probably for reference only, to see if they can come in handy sometimes, or give him some inspiration to improve some techniques.

The plasticity of curse techniques is so strong, it’s a waste not to spend time pondering and improving them.

As for Magic... Reiger’s dependency on and utilization of magic have decreased more and more as his strength grows.

Currently, the ability in Magic is similar to the ability in curse techniques, with only a few being useful at his level, and since magic is more functional and not as plastic as curse techniques, Reiger is ready to use magic as an auxiliary means in battles.

After a battle, only so many abilities are useful, and at Reiger’s level, inevitably the majority of the magic or curse techniques that were useful in the past but not now need to be eliminated.

In the next three months, Reiger will gradually ponder over this matter, reorganizing his capabilities in various aspects to form a new combat mode, hoping to achieve 120% of his strength.

"Is that so?"

Seeing Reiger’s calm demeanor, Gojo Satoru knew he had made up his mind, so he didn’t say anything more.

He himself felt rather regretful.

Although he hadn’t known Reiger for long, somehow, the two of them got along inexplicably well, forming a relationship of both mentor and friend.

On the surface, Reiger was seeking guidance from Gojo Satoru, but in fact, he was getting along with Gojo on equal terms unconsciously, which instead brought the two closer.

There are roughly two reasons for this result.

One is that Reiger’s original age is actually not much younger than Gojo Satoru’s, they can be considered peers of the same age group.

The other is that both know each other’s strength is very strong and have high recognition of each other.

This allowed both Reiger and Gojo Satoru, unknowingly, to have a feeling as if they had been getting along with each other for a long time, developing a mentor-and-friend relationship.

Especially Gojo Satoru, he didn’t tell others, but in Reiger, he once again felt the long-lost feeling of making a close friend and getting along with a close friend.

All along, in Gojo Satoru’s heart, his close friend had always been just one.

That was Geto Suguru.

However, after meeting Reiger, Gojo Satoru suddenly realized that the position of close friend in his heart might have gained another one.

If Reiger stayed at Jujutsu High, Gojo Satoru wouldn’t say it, but in his heart, he would definitely be happy.

But if Reiger wants to leave, Gojo Satoru wouldn’t stop him and would express understanding.

Even if his intuition tells him that once Reiger leaves, he might not ever come back in the future, it’s still the same.

"Well, it’s better than dying."

Gojo Satoru took it very well, even able to say such words with a smile.

"Don’t worry, I’m not that easy to kill." Reiger chuckled while shaking his head. After thinking for a bit, he finally said, "If you want, I can also help resurrect Geto Suguru."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru didn’t hesitate to refuse.

"Forget it." Gojo Satoru spread his hands and said, "Separate because of different ideals, meet again and coldly act as an assassin, and now resurrect someone because of loneliness?"

"That guy Geto would kill me."

Indeed, Geto Suguru was an approved friend of Gojo Satoru, but he had never thought of resurrecting him.

Because things between them have already ended, and they both accepted the outcome calmly.

"Alright." Reiger gave a crooked smile and said, "After all, you don’t lack company beside you."

Reiger was referring to Kashimo Hajime.

This martial arts maniac, after Ryomensukuna’s death, was once lost and somehow ended up targeting Gojo Satoru.

He wanted to have a fight with Gojo Satoru, but unfortunately, Gojo Satoru never agreed.

"Kashimo Hajime is also someone who can match me, I don’t want him dead."

This is Gojo Satoru’s reason.

If he fights Gojo Satoru, Kashimo Hajime would only have two outcomes.

One is not using techniques, being unilaterally crushed by Gojo Satoru.

The other is using techniques, but the technique he can only use once would result in death once used.

Gojo Satoru didn’t want such an interesting opponent like Kashimo Hajime to die.

"There’s also the Angel and Kurusu; their techniques are promising. I’ve made up my mind to recruit them to the Curse Mage High School."

This wouldn’t be difficult.

Because Kurusu Hana, for some reason, already had a spark with Fushiguro Megumi, that cold-faced guy.

Gojo Satoru thought recruiting them is much easier than recruiting Kashimo Hajime.

There are also ancient Curse Mages like Uro Hentosu and Ishigami Ryuu, who were not thoroughly cleared. They’re all people with potential, and given Gojo Satoru’s personality of pulling potential talent everywhere, he would sooner or later target them.

Thinking of this, Gojo Satoru felt quite expectant.

Even if Reiger is gone, there are many people here who may stand shoulder to shoulder with him someday.

Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, Okkotsu Yuta, Hakari Kinji, Kashimo Hajime... and so on, they are all people worth investing in and focusing on.

"Then I wish you success."

Reiger tossed the bottle of wine he had just replaced towards Gojo Satoru.

"Same to you."

Gojo Satoru caught the wine, closed his eyes, and smiled.

"Pop!"

The bottles in their hands gently clinked together, and then they drank heartily.

After that, neither said a word, just quietly looked at the night sky, enjoying the tranquility.

The next day, Reiger left the Curse Mage High School quietly, without informing anyone.

Since then, no one at Curse Mage High School has seen Reiger again.

Gojo Satoru was an exception.

But, when he saw Reiger again, it was many, many years later...

......

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three months, Reiger traveled across this world.

He smoothly adapted to the new phase of his body and successfully organized his various abilities, his strength advancing rapidly, stronger than ever.

At Lv.8, Reiger already possessed enough strength to compare to Lv.9.

Now at Lv.9, how strong his power has become, Reiger himself isn’t sure.

The only certainty is that if he’d face the self who just arrived in this world now, he’d probably be able to pin him down with one hand and grind him repeatedly.

This dimensional travel offered immense rewards for Reiger.

"It’s about time to return."

More than three months later, one day Reiger returned to Curse Mage High School, casting a distant glance at the school from the sky.

Then in his mind, the dimensional cube began spinning.

"Countdown reaches zero, this dimensional travel is about to end, starting detection."

"Detected user possesses world-specific power, can disband consciousness for return."

"Dimensional travel ends, starting return."

Without taking anything along, Reiger quietly returned the curse tool and cursed objects he obtained back to Curse Mage High School and quietly left this world.
