Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

"I have two commissions." Ye Mo Zhengdao walked through the old flower corridor with his hands behind his back. The iron pillars were covered with rust and moss.

"By the way, is it okay for Nozomi to come and sit in as well?" Gojo Satoru asked his best friend beside him in a low voice.

"It's okay, I've talked to Teacher Yega." Su Ze tilted his head in response.

Ye Mo Zheng Dao ignored their little tricks and said to himself: "Astral plasma body. It means a person with a constitution that matches that of Master Tian Yuan. You must protect this girl, and - erase her."

Gojo Satoru looked at him as if he was an idiot.

"Has he finally developed Alzheimer's disease?" Gojo-kun whispered to Geto Suguru.

"It's spring after all, and he's just been elected as the next principal, so he's very happy..." Xia Youjie put his hands in his pockets and followed Ye Mo Zhengdao into the empty classroom. He answered briskly, but his expression was a little serious.

"'Erase'...ha." Su Ze frowned and whispered.

Ye Mo Zheng Dao seemed to have heard his whisper and tilted his head slightly to look at him.

Nishiko and Geto Xiayou also noticed Su Ze's abnormality.

"So, are we going to help Lord Tianyuan initialize the technique?" said Xia Yujie.

The barriers of various technical high schools, various strongholds in the magic world, and the vast majority of auxiliary and supervisory barrier techniques have all been strengthened by Tengen's power. Without Tengen's help, even daily tasks and defenses would be stretched.

Tianyuan possesses the art of immortality.

But immortality does not mean “immortality”.

When the body ages to a certain extent, it will be recast, and Tianyuan has a chance to leave the human category, which is the so-called "evolution". However, "evolution" may cause Tianyuan to lose his own personality, and may even stand on the opposite side of countless sorcerers.

Therefore, every five hundred years, Tian Yuan will assimilate with the "astral plasma", reset the physical information, and initialize the effects of the technique at the same time, so that it can safely pass the next five hundred years, and repeat this process.

"I see..." Gojo Satoru said with a wise look, "If it evolves into Machine Greymon, it would be great, but if it becomes Zombie Greymon, it would be terrible - so why not just start over from Rollermon...right?"

"Eh... forget it, just understand it this way." Geto Suguru looked helpless, not expecting Gojo Satoru to fully understand the complicated meaning.

"And now - the location of the Astral Plasma girl has been revealed. She will assimilate with Master Tengen on the full moon night in two days."

Ye Moth Zhengdao looked serious, "You, you must protect the "Astral Plasma" before then! And send her to Lord Tianyuan. This is a serious matter, so be careful. Ze... remember to take care of those two guys and make them fight less--"

Su Ze still frowned. He had been silent since just now. Even Gojo Satoru, who was a little slow in some aspects, noticed his abnormality.

"...What's wrong? This is not like you." Ye Mo Zhengdao naturally also noticed Su Ze's abnormality.

"Teacher, what will happen to the 'Astral Plasma' itself after assimilating with Lord Tianyuan?" Su Ze asked straightforwardly.

As early as a month ago, when the word "astromatrix" suddenly appeared in his mind, Su Ze began to think about this matter. He searched through the files of the high-level bureau, trying to find the answer.

However, those yellowed records of spells only simply recorded how the "great Tianyuan" helped the weak and isolated sorcerers in the early days.

Including but not limited to setting up a country-wide magical barrier and providing guidance to early magicians...

Even most of the records of "Astral Plasma" were written as an appendage of Master Tianyuan.

Perhaps there are files with a higher level of confidentiality... No, there must be. But Su Ze's current authority is only "a first-level sorcerer affiliated with a technical college", which is far less than the elders of various parties and the core figures of the three great families.

As for the direct description of "astrophysical matter", there are very few.

"For the survival of the world of sorcery, it is destined to merge with Tengen, who possesses the art of 'immortality', every five hundred years."

In the mountains of archives, this is the only sentence that positively records the astral plasma.

Ye Mo Zheng Dao was stunned, and said calmly: "Assimilation does not mean death. She will merge with Master Tian Yuan, from body to spirit, she is "Tian Yuan", and "Tian Yuan" will also be her..."

Su Ze's expression remained calm.

"...Well, I don't believe that either." Ye Mo Zhengdao turned away and avoided the sight.

——What a joke, Tianyuan who has lived for thousands of years, and "Star Plasma" who has only lived for a dozen years; when their memories are mixed together, is it obvious who will be in the dominant position?

Even the girl's existence might be erased!

“…I’m sorry. I thought that based on your personality, you would support this method—” Ye Mo Zheng Dao continued without changing his expression.

Xia Wuxiao and the other two also looked at Su Ze. They also had a general understanding of the nature of the mission and the essence of "assimilation".

"In the past, I might have supported this approach."

Su Ze was not shy about it. “But then I gradually moved forward and realized that I seemed to want to save more people…”

"…Even if it's just one more person."

The other three were secretly moved, they understood what Su Ze was saying.

"There are still some details of the mission that need to be explained."

Ye Mo Zhengdao opened his tablet computer, and the outrageous topic just now seemed to be easily turned over by him.

The four of them didn't say anything more. Ye Mo Zheng Dao was willing to help them keep the content of the conversation a secret, which was already the most righteous thing they could do.

He slowly and carefully explained the rest of the mission, such as the route, the support from the senior college...

It was already early summer when Su Ze realized that he had been in technical high school for more than a year.

Ye Mo Zheng Dao also finished his lengthy explanation of the main points. He turned around and prepared to leave, and Su Ze and the others were about to get up.

"…My level is not high enough. But I heard some rumors from the 99th Special Level a few years ago - it seems that not every generation of Star Plasma is assimilated."

Ye Mo Zheng Dao stopped just before stepping out of the door. He had already stepped out of the classroom.

"Ze, the four of you are my students... my most proud students."

He said this at last.

Then he walked out without looking back.

……

The four of them drove back to the dormitory in a front and back row to prepare their things.

"Nano, have you been smoking since that time?" Su Ze spoke up to break the silence.

"Well, it's hard to quit once you start smoking~" Glass answered nonchalantly.

Gojo Satoru didn't nag, he just leaned back and drank his drink. Xiayou Jie's posture was even weirder, he put his hands in his pockets, hunched his body like a shrimp and walked in small steps.

Although these two people's postures are weird, their expressions are abnormally calm... one could even say they are serious.

"...It's better to smoke less." Su Ze didn't say much.

The "that time" that Su Ze mentioned was a special mission that the four of them carried out after their sophomore year.

It was also the first time that the cursed spirit was exorcised in an environment where ordinary people had not been completely evacuated.

"Should we save the people first or get rid of the cursed spirit first?"

"Can abandoning the person in front of you and watching him encounter possible danger be considered an accomplice of the cursed spirit?"

"If we save everyone we meet, does that mean we are letting the cursed spirits kill people indiscriminately elsewhere?"

In that mission, Suze was in charge of protecting Glass from the outside, while Gojo Satoru and Geto Xiayou went inside to exorcise the cursed spirits.

The order given to Glass by the top brass was "only need to rescue the magicians and ordinary people sent here, and never get involved in dangerous areas."

He was indeed worried that something might happen to Glass - the situation during that mission was particularly dangerous. It was a curse tide, just like the effect caused by the "Soul-Destroying Banner" at the beginning.

There are even several cursed spirits whose strength is close to the special level; what's more, there are also barriers and pseudo-fields.

The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. After entering the field, Su Ze is not completely sure about guaranteeing Glass's safety.

Even if all the flying swords were surrounding her.

Su Ze followed the order and did not leave Glass or step into the venue.

He comforted himself, "The top management will make the decision, and he just needs to strictly implement it-"

Then he watched the ordinary people in the field being slaughtered.

——That was the first time he questioned "rules" and "order".
