Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Not interested in."

"It has ended."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gojo, we've already received the assignment."

"And so are we."

Now they know why Gojo Satoru was absent that day—

The students of Kyoto High School, along with Kokichi, secretly collaborated with the cursed spirit that attacked the school. They have now been arrested and imprisoned by Gojo Satoru, and are awaiting further sentencing.

However, the news did not resonate much with the students at Tokyo Vocational High School.

Not only because the other party was a student from Kyoto College, but also because the other party did not leave a deep impression during the exchange meeting. All that was known was that the other party could control mechanical puppets and was also [Heaven and Curse], and there was not much else to know.

The only one among them who felt somewhat emotional was the panda who had fought against the other side at the exchange meeting.

After defeating his opponent, he made a promise to visit his true form if he had the chance, but now it seems that the chance is gone.

Wait a minute, it seems like there's still a chance.

What was originally a visit to a classmate has now turned into a prison visit.

"Oh no, how could this happen?"

Seeing that the students all rejected his suggestion, Gojo Satoru put on a pitiful look.

But everyone was already used to Gojo Satoru's antics, so they chose to ignore him and went about their own business, and soon dispersed.

First up is the trio of Itadori Yuujin, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugizaki Nobara. This is their first mission since Itadori Yuujin's resurrection and return, and they are tasked with investigating a case of cursed spirit attack.

On the other side is the trio of Panda, Dog-Roll Thorn, and Yoshino Junpei.

Now, Zenin Maki has obtained the full effect of [Heaven and Curse], and her physical strength has been greatly improved.

However, in order to achieve her goal—to obtain the position of head of the Zen family—she still needs to work hard for a period of time to adapt and transform her soaring physical strength into real combat power.

The same applies to Zhenyi at the Zen Temple.

Therefore, she needs to focus on training during this period and will not be going on missions. The newly joined Yoshino Junpei has filled her vacancy.

Gojo Satoru was quite reassured about having Panda and Dog-Roll Thorn mentor the newcomers.

Soon, only Zenin Maki, Gojo Satoru, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was free since there were no tasks left, remained on the playground.

Because she single-handedly defeated the attacking Special Grade Cursed Spirit at the exchange meeting, she exposed her strength and came to the attention of the higher-ups.

The higher-ups seem to still be discussing how to treat her, which is why she can't go on missions with everyone and has some rare free time.

"Let's talk."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to strike up a conversation with Gojo Satoru to find out more about the situation with Kokichi, but Gojo Satoru, who had just arrived at the playground, suddenly received another phone call and had to leave again in a hurry.

"You must be working really hard, Mr. Gojo."

Watching Gojo Satoru's figure disappear, she could only sigh helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do; he's the strongest. All we can do is try to become stronger."

Zenin Maki was used to this and smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Ritsuka, could you please continue training with me for a while longer?"

"Okay!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Zenjima Maki and the spirit core of the elderly Li Shuwen clashed fiercely, their fists and feet exchanging continuous, muffled thuds.

At first glance, the two seem to be evenly matched.

However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that almost every move of Zenin Maki was completely blocked by the elderly Li Shuwen, but Zenin Maki was almost able to withstand his attacks head-on.

Even now, Zenji Maki can only be suppressed by the elderly Li Shuwen.

But if it were the old Zenin Maki, she would probably have fallen long ago. Now, however, she can withstand the opponent's punches and kicks and continue to attack, creating a seemingly evenly matched situation.

The elderly Li Shuwen, an Assassin, has a Strength stat of only C, which is not high, and it will be further weakened by the Spirit Origin Shadow.

Besides her agility, Zenin Maki's physical abilities at her current fully evolved form have probably surpassed those of the elderly Li Shuwen, who is now a Spirit Origin Shadow.

Of course, this was the case when the elderly Li Shuwen did not use [Qi] and fought the opponent purely with physical strength.

Even under these circumstances, Zenin Maki could only be suppressed by him, due to the huge gap in experience between the two.

As a martial arts master whose skills were close to the Tao and who had elevated martial arts to the level of a treasure, the fighting techniques that Zenin Maki had figured out on his own were, in his eyes, like a child throwing punches randomly, full of flaws.

However, this is exactly the effect that Zenin Maki wanted to achieve.

"I can see it gradually!"

Despite the constant pain from the blows, Zenin Maki's smile grew increasingly excited.

This is the effect she wants.

She learns and grows through battle; she can clearly feel the opponent's attacks becoming clearer in her eyes, and this visible progress is captivating to anyone.

She had heard Gojo Satoru mention Fushiguro Megumi's father, Fushiguro Jinji.

According to Gojo Satoru, Fushiguro Jinji is of the same type as her, known as the "Curse of Heaven" and the "Tyrant of Heaven," and is extremely powerful.

He, who had already become a top-level sorcerer during his student days, and Xia Youjie, who was also a top-level sorcerer, had both almost been killed by each other.

With this in mind, Zenin Maki made up her mind.

Even among those of the same type, [Heaven and Curse], she will strive to be the best.

She doesn't want to be called the "Second Generation Heavenly Tyrant"; if she's going to be one, she'll be the "Strongest Heavenly Tyrant"!

the other side.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was acting as a sparring partner, actually had it quite easy.

After all, she doesn't need to actually fight; all she has to do is control the Spirit Origin Shadow to fight against Zenin Maki.

Moreover, this level of intensity of confrontation is much easier for her than the simulated battles with Servants in Chaldea, and she can even spare some time to look at the scenery around her.

Just then, she suddenly noticed that Moth had appeared on the playground. Seeing this principal who rarely appeared, she was a little curious.

Are you looking for Gojo-sensei?

With this assumption in mind, she thought that Masamichi Yagami would look around and then turn away, since there were only her and Maki Zenin on the playground at the moment.

To her surprise, Moth Masamichi did not turn away. Instead, after seeing them, he walked straight towards them and stood aside, seemingly intending to wait for their training to end.

Seeing this, she stopped paying attention to the other person and focused on cooperating with Zenin Maki's training.

The training ended a while later when Zenin Maki finally gave in and couldn't hold on any longer.

At this moment, Masamichi Yagami finally spoke up and called out Fujimaru Ritsuka's name.

"Ritsuka-san."

"Principal Moth?"

Panting heavily, Zenjima Maki then noticed Yagami Masamichi's presence, and Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with a smile:

"Principal Moth, is there something you need?"

Night Moth Masamichi's emotions were somewhat complicated at this moment. He looked at the smiling girl before him and said in a deep voice:

"The higher-ups want to see you."

Chapter 56 The Unfriendly Higher-ups

"Principal Moth, who are the people in the higher-ups?"

On her way to the director's office where the higher-ups were located, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but ask Yoga Masamichi a question.

Gojo Satoru once commented on the higher-ups in the world of jutsu:

"The higher echelons are a den of iniquities in the world of sorcery, filled with fools who prioritize self-preservation, hereditary fools, arrogant fools, and naive fools."

However, in the original work, these so-called high-ranking figures in the world of sorcery were not described in much detail, and even their most basic names and appearances were unknown.

The only thing known is that these guys had hardly ever done anything good, and in the end, they were all wiped out by Gojo Satoru.

Masamichi Yagami didn't know how to answer Fujimaru Ritsuka's question.

"them."

His conscience prevented him from lying, but his current position also prevented him from speaking freely like Gojo Satoru.

Therefore, he could only give a vague answer:

"You'll understand when you meet them."

At this point, he solemnly instructed Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Once you enter the director's office, remember to be careful with your words and actions. Apart from a few essential questions, I will do my best to answer your other questions."

"Also, even if you hear some unreasonable words, try not to get into a conflict with the other party. Leave the rest to me."

"Yes, Principal Moth, I understand."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded obediently, appearing very cooperative.

However, after giving his instructions, Masamichi Yagami was still somewhat uneasy. It wasn't that he was worried about Ritsuka Fujimaru, but rather about the group of high-ranking officials.

On his way here, he called Gojo Satoru, only to find that he could not be reached. This was worrying and made him suspect that the higher-ups had planned this all along.

I just don't know when Gojo Satoru will realize what's going on.

In this silent environment, the two went to the director's office.

Two guards in kimonos stood watch by the door to the director's office. As the two approached the door, preparing to enter, they were stopped by the guards, who said:

"The adults only summoned Fujimaru Ritsuka; others were not to be seen."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Moth Masakado was taken aback, then said in a deep voice:
