After Yaga instinctively uttered these words while gazing at the direction Lorien had departed in, he then slowly rotated his head toward Gojo to inquire about what happened
However, as he did so, the principal immediately noticed Gojo's bad state, causing his eyes to contract in terror.
Earlier, Yaga's entire focus was on Lorien, neglecting Gojo since he wasn't too concerned about him.
Moreover, It didn't help that when he arrived, the two appeared to be conversing like old acquaintances; who could have anticipated that things were this tragic?
However, before he could ask anything, Gojo spoke, a fake blush surfacing on his face as he joked with the others.
"Why are you all here? Are you worried about me??!"
However, the response he received was quite frosty:
"No"
"No"
"Never"
Pretending to be surprised, Gojo merely grinned in response, donning his eye covers once more and quietly tending to his injuries.
However, one of the arriving sorcerers seemed to hold Gojo in high regard as he responded nervously.
"After the huge clash, we didn't hear any sound, so we thought the battle had ended and came to investigate."
It's just that, Yaga was having none of it right now as after he reacted, he instantly interjected and asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"You're wounded, how did the fight go? did you…"
Pausing briefly, Yaga continued, posing a question he never thought he'd ask in his lifetime.
"Did you win?"
Hearing this, silence pervaded the atmosphere as everyone awaited Gojo's response expectantly.
However, to their immense disappointment and horror, Gojo busted out laughing and responded.
"HAHAHAHA, No! I actually lost!"
Declaring this without a trace of shame or disappointment, Gojo stared at the sky and confidently declared.
"However, the next time things won't be so easy!"
It's just that no one shared his enthusiasm as some couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"Whaa!"
"Gojo lost?!"
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
"This..."
However, just then, the Yaga shouted interrupting their fright.
"ENOUGH!!"
And seizing the chance, Mei Mei, who had been silently observing, couldn't help but ask.
"What's his cursed technique? What intel were you able to gather?"
Hearing this, Gojo grinned wickedly and started chuckling uncontrollably, he really want to see people's reactions upon sharing the information he'd obtained.
So, after a brief pause, he decided to answer.
"That guy isn't even a jujutsu sorcerer!"
"What do you mean?" Mei Mei furrowed her brow as the others also felt perplexed.
"He doesn't use cursed energy, and he doesn't have a cursed technique!"
"This... Is he like Toji?" one of the sorcerers questioned, lacking confidence in his response
"Nope!" Gojo countered.
However, just then, seeing that this was going nowhere, the principal finally had enough and asked angrily.
"Stop beating around the bush, just say it!"
"Alright, alright, I thought you guys wanted to play." Said Gojo waving his hand dismissively.
"This isn't the time for games, Just say it."
Having teased them enough, Gojo decided it was time to deliver the main course and announced.
"That guy is a reality warper, and yes, before you ask, it's similar to the ones you've seen in books and movies."
"...."
"..."
Hearing this, silence ensued as to Gojo's disappointment, no one reacted to his declaration.
"Ummm, I repeat, he is a reality warper!"
However, finally, after Gojo repeated the statement a second time, Nanami spoke up.
"Stop playing, what's his power?"
"Hey! I am not joking!"
Seeing that Gojo still insisted on his answer and didn't appear to be fooling around, everyone fell quiet once more, absorbing the revelation.
"Is this true?"
"It's a joke right?"
"...."
However, while everyone was grappling with their shattered worldview, Yaga had already recovered and began asking crucial questions.
"Reality warping? Are there any limits to his power? Any weaknesses? And why did he fight you?"
Hearing the barrage of questions, Gojo clutched his forehead in pain, already regretting his decision.
'Ughh, I shouldn't have said that.'
Regardless, now that the cat was out of the bag, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond.
"It's reality warping, so there are no limits or weaknesses; The only restriction I assume he has is energy, but even after our battle, it appears he's far from reaching it."
Pausing briefly, Gojo then continued.
"As for the reason he fought me, it seems he wanted to analyze my ability to reduce his own energy consumption."
Hearing this, Yaga continued asking, this time his voice full of dread.
"Then...did he succeed?"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Yaga took a deep breath while the other sorcerers present looked equally distressed.
The only one who didn't seem to care was Mei Mei as after hearing all of this, her eyes started shining as she thought of the possible "service potential".
'Heeh, we should meet sometime."
However, in stark contrast to Mei Mei's indifference, Yaga began pacing back and forth as he tried to think of countermeasures.
"This is bad...Really bad!"
Taking a deep breath, Yaga inquired once more.
"Any more information?"
"Well, as you've seen, he has silver hair, golden eyes, and his name is Lorien. That's all I know for now." responded Gojo as he hid some of the information he deemed too shocking to announce.
"DAMN IT!!!"
Shouting in frustration, Yaga finally said.
"We have to report this!!"
However, just as he said this Gojo interrupted him.
"Considering that guy's personality, as far as I could tell, if we were to report this and the higher-ups were to anger him, he might just kill-..."
Reaching here, Gojo paused momentarily before altering his words.
"Yes, Yes, we should report this!"
Even feeling that this wasn't enough, he continued.
"I'll even report it myself!"
Looking at this speechlessly, the sorcerers didn't know how to react.
However, just then, seeing that their job was done and that there was no further purpose in remaining, Yaga spoke again.
"We should go back to the school and discuss it in more detail there!"
"I agree."
"Let's go then."
So, with this decided, the sorcerers started making their way back slowly unknown what each of them was thinking.
