At the same time, Satoshi, who had been forcibly dragged out for a walk by Yuki, happened to pass by the Dojo. When he heard the morning chant, his expression became strange.
Back when he was watching anime, Satoshi had found these chants exciting and cool, but now, hearing his brother and his companions practicing them aloud, he felt a little embarrassed.
After all, a Kidō chant should be accompanied by the visual effects of the Kidō itself. Without actually casting the spell, it felt more like child's play.
No wonder Yuki didn't want to chant with them...
After all, Yuki was a Special Grade sorcerer, one of a kind in the entire Jujutsu world. Chanting Kidō in public like that genuinely made her feel ashamed.
"Hey, the principal is already preparing to leave!"
Satoshi was still walking while thinking about how to create a Tenshintai. He had an idea now, but there were still many deductions to make.
While he was lost in thought, Yuki suddenly tugged on his sleeve and pulled him into the bushes nearby.
Satoshi was startled, completely caught off guard.
"Shh, quiet. I just saw the principal!"
Yuki whispered, pointing ahead.
"Principal? Principal Sekiguchi's here too?"
Satoshi asked instinctively, but quickly realized that Yuki was referring to Gakuganji Yoshinobu.
"Principal Gakuganji is already preparing to leave?"
Seeing the direction Gakuganji was headed, Satoshi was also a bit surprised. He thought the old man wouldn't leave until he'd taken Yuki and the others away.
But unexpectedly, Gakuganji was leaving this early.
"He probably knows what we've been learning. It looks like Kumaen couldn't take it anymore and directly told him about the Kidō."
Yuki was sharp. Seeing how quickly Gakuganji had left, she likely guessed he had received some critical information.
Satoshi nodded and didn't think much of it.
"Hey hey, aren't you at all concerned? Now that the principal knows we're studying Kidō, when Mei Mei and the others return to school, he'll definitely have them teach it to others. Aren't you worried about Kidō being leaked?"
Yuki frowned, not expecting Satoshi to be so nonchalant.
"Since I've decided to teach you Kidō, I never expected you to keep it secret. Besides, I think your earlier concerns about Jogo revealing the Kidō to other Cursed Spirits are completely biased."
"In truth, it's humans who are more likely to reveal secrets."
"If you're willing to teach, then teach. Kidō is hard to master. Even if you try to pass it on, not everyone will be able to learn it. In many cases, it's more effective to focus on refining your own skills than chasing after something as complex as Kidō."
Satoshi knew this was the reality.
Unless they had special talents like Satoru or Utahime, others would likely struggle to understand Kidō at all.
Even if he personally taught them, he couldn't change the fundamental way sorcerers used Cursed Energy. Using Kidō meant rejecting conventional jujutsu techniques. That level of subversion wasn't something ordinary sorcerers could handle.
"I just hope those you teach won't trade it with the Cursed Spirits later."
Yuki understood what he meant but still felt reluctant to accept it.
Why did Satoshi believe that humans were more likely to leak Kidō?
"I'll explain things to Utahime and Mei Mei. Even if they teach it to other students in the future, I'll have them specifically instruct the others not to reveal anything to Cursed Spirits."
Yuki placed her hands on her hips, clearly determined.
Hearing that, Satoshi quickly shook his head, saying Yuki's approach would have the opposite effect.
"Humans are rebellious by nature. If you don't warn them, they might not even think of it. But once you give a specific warning, it'll spark their curiosity and they'll intentionally go out and test it."
"After all, without your warning, normal people wouldn't even consider that Cursed Spirits have a natural affinity with the world of Kidō."
"Humans are best at fighting among themselves. Since we already have Curse Users, it's no surprise that some would choose to cooperate with Cursed Spirits one day."
"Ryomen Sukuna was proof enough of that."
Satoshi's take on human nature made Yuki fall silent. As a Special Grade sorcerer, she still wanted to believe in people.
But she had to admit, Satoshi was right.
Human beings had an inexplicable drive to explore anything that was explicitly forbidden. She suddenly recalled a popular joke from the internet.
If a button appeared in front of you that said pressing it would destroy the Earth, would you press it?
Among the responses, 78.3% of people said they would try it.
Humans were too numerous, and their personalities too diverse. Satoshi's concerns weren't unreasonable.
Feeling the stillness in the air, Satoshi smiled. It seemed this outing had gone completely off the rails from their original purpose of relaxing.
But he continued speaking.
"Yuki, as the Star Plasma Vessel, you should know how important you are to Tengen."
"Back then, you didn't want to become a Star Plasma Vessel and rejected the merger with Tengen. But you should also know that there are warped followers of Tengen in society. If the Star Plasma Vessel were just an ordinary person, no one would have leaked the information."
"In the end, someone would have been dispatched to protect them. Why? Because those fanatics would try to harm the Vessel to prevent her fusion with Tengen."
"You don't feel that danger because you have strong life-saving techniques and are incredibly powerful. But this time is different."
"This time, Tengen has deliberately hidden the Tombs of the Star and publicly spread word that she's searching for a new Star Plasma Vessel."
"That alone is enough to set off every one of those warped believers."
Satoshi paused, then looked directly at Yuki.
"Do you think that Vessel will even survive long enough to fuse with Tengen?"
Yuki's expression froze. Her eyes widened in shock.
She hadn't expected Satoshi to ask that.
Nor had she expected that the identity of the Star Plasma Vessel could be so dangerous.
"It... shouldn't be that serious, right?"
Yuki hesitated, offering a soft reply. But deep down, she knew Satoshi was probably right.
