Chapter 132: The End and the Restless Heart

No matter how you look at it, the Yue people's techniques are incredibly skillful.

She easily understood everything, breaking down the boundaries of knowledge transmission. The various properties of the "Soul Chamber" were known and understood by Yue Ren in a very short time, and then passed on to her.

Just like when conducting a certain demonstration, the experimental data easily appears in his mind when he touches the substances needed for the experiment. The process of 'accumulating' experience and the difficulties that need to be experienced lose their meaning in front of him.

The two spent two days gathering all the necessary elements to construct the barrier, and on the sixth day after the battle ended, they returned to the "Soul Chamber" and completed the setup of the great barrier.

The effect of the barrier is not hard to understand: it makes all the brains that are born afterward naturally in the form of a sorcerer, and they can use the "reverse spell" to change their brain form.

As planned, from the moment the barrier was completed, all humans born afterward would be "magicians," and they would be born with "magic formulas," and their magical power would be automatically converted into "spiritual power" from the moment it was generated.

The curse will no longer be incessant. It is predicted that in a hundred years, most ordinary humans still alive in reality will have perished. At that time, "spiritual power" will simply exist as an "energy source" that humans are born with.

All the cursed spirits will disappear.

The hundred-year period was also the timeframe set by the two after discussion, allowing humanity to adapt to this "evolution."

During this period, humanity must learn how to establish systems suitable for techniques and how to resolve various conflicts.

The meaning of the existing sorcerers has also changed; they will become the pioneers of the coming great era, helping the 'younger generation' to explore feasible paths for the future.

Thus, the source of the curse power was finally contained.

The magical power in the earth was guided and surged into the Soul Narrow Space. The special environment for the outbreak of magical spirits was contained. After a half-month nationwide campaign led by the strongest sorcerer team of the era, Gojo Satoru, the disaster of rampant magical spirits was contained.

Thus, the sorcerers finally won the war.

Although there was a sense of devastation afterward, with the power structure and the environment of many cities damaged, no one was disappointed because people were still alive. There were almost no casualties among the sorcerers in this war; instead, a large number of new generation sorcerers who had once been "swimmers" were added to the ranks.

Although the future is uncertain in this situation, everyone has hope, and the Yue people have thus fulfilled their promise to everyone.

In many cases, as long as there are people, everything is easy to talk about. The post-war recovery work was carried out in an orderly manner with the support of the new power structure, and the higher vocational colleges resumed enrollment and learning.

With a large influx of new students, it's foreseeable that the number of students admitted next year will increase several times over.

The Yue people also added fuel to the fire of this change, compiling their thorough understanding of the basic skills of sorcerers into a book in a quantifiable and understandable form and handing it over to the higher vocational college.

For example, he wrote down a variety of things that ordinary sorcerers could learn, such as new barrier techniques that do not rely on the Heavenly Yuan, practical sharing of Black Flash techniques, and basic spell tool forging methods. He also promoted the establishment of different specialization subjects and the compilation of related teaching materials, making the learning and education of sorcerers more "systematic".

I believe these insights will be helpful for the future development of sorcerers.

Of course, to ensure that the information was not as "easy to understand" as he thought, Yueren specifically sought out Nichisha, a "high-achieving student," and with Nichisha's help, he revised some of the wording. Afterward, he shared the knowledge with newcomers such as Shunpei and Itō.

The subsequent results can only be described as excellent. When even Itajimaru, a "legendary sports student" who acts on intuition, could understand the use of magical power and various techniques, Echigo knew that his teaching materials were a success.

After confirming that the crisis had truly passed, Yue Ren brought his older sister, Kawasaki Hitsuru, back from abroad.

Now, he is able to openly tell his sister the whole story.

On a suitable afternoon, he opened up to his sister about everything: he was a mage, the battle that had just taken place, and so on...

The latter was somewhat unbelievable, but after Yue Ren demonstrated his "divine skill" of changing the world out of thin air, Ri He had no choice but to accept the fact that his younger brother was a "superhuman".

She then asked why it had taken so long to tell her.

Yue Ren explained to her that everything was over. The "monster disaster" she had been worried about in a foreign land, the disaster caused by the beings called "cursed spirits," had been resolved by them, the professionals.

Peace has returned to the country, and he believes there is no need to continue hiding things from his family. Of course, this is also due to his own growing maturity.

In short, he decided not to hide it any longer, believing that family members should be more honest with each other, and he also explained the basic situation to his sister.

For example, sorcerers, curses, cursed spirits, and relationships between ordinary people.

Rihe was stunned after hearing this; she simply couldn't imagine that there were countless such monsters around her.

At the end of the conversation, Yue Ren also suggested that she could become a sorcerer, but the older sister hesitated, and the conversation ended with her being given some time to think about it.

The Yue people readily agreed, since such matters naturally require the individual's own willingness.

He was prepared to accept all choices, even if his sister chose to live her life as an ordinary person, he would accept it gladly, and at most he would give her more protection.

This change in thinking is a huge shift from his initial perspective, but he doesn't see it as a bad thing.

Having gone through so much, he has undoubtedly matured considerably, and the phase of imposing his own wishes and ideas on others... is over.

......

"So, did your sister finally agree?"

In the college teachers' office, Jiu Jiu sat on Yue Ren's desk, watching with great interest the boy who was helping to organize the materials.

Even with unique techniques, building a complete education system is not something that can be done overnight. He has been very busy lately in order to work toward this goal.

The latter, however, was filled with helplessness.

This woman can be really annoying sometimes. She's so overly familiar with people in some inexplicable ways that he almost regretted bringing it up.

But there was nothing he could do; he was the one who blurted it out, so he had no choice but to continue.

Recalling her sister's reaction, Yue Ren couldn't help but laugh.

There was no way around it; that hesitant little expression was just too funny. Heaven knows how much pain he was enduring at the time.

"The temptation of awakening superpowers is still very strong for ordinary people, and my lovely sister, at such a young and beautiful age, obviously couldn't resist such a temptation."

"Huh? I thought there might be a different story?"

"...Wake up, this is reality, not bedtime story time. How much resistance to temptation do you expect from a young person?"

"Hahaha...that's true, but I'm still a little curious, what kind of technique did your method awaken in her?"

"Hmm, the technique that can lower the temperature and create ice is quite similar to that of Sukuna's little follower."

The Ice Condensation Technique is an extremely powerful technique. After all, low temperature is a versatile ability that can handle most situations. If one day this technique could be honed to its limit and used to unleash skills like "absolute zero," even Gojo Satoru would probably find it difficult to deal with.

Of course, this is only theoretical. Every technique has potential; the key is to see how far the user can develop it.

"Huh? That's a very powerful technique. Does that mean you've found another exceptionally talented student for the school?"

"That's not entirely true. It depends on the situation, and from what I've observed, my sister's curse power isn't that great..."

Yes, his sister Rihe's curse power wasn't much. In this world, the total amount of curse power is a very important factor in determining combat strength, so he felt that the opponent's potential was probably only at most level one.

"I see. It's not too hard to accept. By the way, have you taught her not to use spells lightly? A newcomer suddenly gaining power can cause trouble if she's not careful."

Yue Ren's older sister hasn't fully integrated into the world of sorcery yet. If she accidentally uses her abilities in a regular school, it could easily lead to serious problems. This kind of thing happened before in the "Death Return" that Lu Suo initiated. It's not uncommon for "Swimmers" with awakened spells to intentionally or accidentally kill ordinary people.

The Yue man smiled slightly.

"I had already thought of that. I knew that it's better to guide than to suppress these kinds of things. I spent the whole afternoon helping her adjust."

To help his older sister understand her limits and what she was capable of, Yue Ren spent an entire afternoon conducting a strength test.

As a result, the older sister clearly saw that her technique easily froze the ants to death, and even the kitten. If Yue Ren hadn't helped thaw them in time, she would have ended her own life.

The immense power terrified the girl. She should have been filled with fear, but it seemed unlikely that the ordeal would end there.

Now that she's seen her "power," it's time to show her her "weakness."

Yue Ren urged his sister to have a "spell" battle with him, also to make the latter understand that when facing a real sorcerer, her little tricks were nothing, and that this power was not something to be feared, but something that could be controlled.

After a series of movements, she successfully made her sister realize her own limitations and learn the most basic techniques. Her stance instantly shifted from that of an ordinary person who had gained power, so there was no need to worry about her causing any trouble while learning.

Upon hearing this, Jiujiu nodded unconsciously.

"As expected of you, you always handle things so thoughtfully. You're such a reassuring man!"

At this point, his tone suddenly changed, and the way he looked at him gave one goosebumps.

"...Could you please stop using that tone? It's disgusting."

"Huh? What happened?"

She revealed a shy, girlish demeanor.

"Ma'am, at your age, can you please stop pretending to be so young?"

"Ugh, Yue Ren, do you really have absolutely no interest in me? Your words are really hurting me."

As she spoke, Jiujiu made a very seductive gesture, her body almost pressed against Yue Ren's face.

Upon seeing the number ninety-nine, the Yue people were slightly taken aback, and at the same time, they were startled.

In that case, in terms of personality, after getting to know her for a while, you'll undoubtedly find that Jiu Jiu is a very likable woman with a good figure.

In terms of interests, Yue Ren felt that the two were quite compatible. They worked together to complete Yue Ren's plans, and the time they spent dealing with problems together gave Yue Ren a feeling of having found a kindred spirit...

But—

The Yue man looked at the woman before him with an expression as if he were looking at something indescribable.

Didn't expect you to actually be lusting after his body? When did this happen? Now you feel the time is right, so you're showing your true colors?

This woman is so calculating!

"Hey, isn't it a bit too much to look at me like that!"

"I think you're the one who went too far. I didn't expect you to reveal your true intentions only now? Yuki Tsukumo, I underestimated you."

"..."

"Waaaaah... This is so unfair! Am I really just an unwanted old woman? Is it wrong for me to want to end my lifelong single status?"

"..."

Looking at the top-tier mage crying with tears streaming down his face, this time it was Yue Ren's turn to fall silent.

He cannot answer this question now.

The woman in front of him is undoubtedly very charming, but is he... really suitable, or rather, worthy of her?

Yes, this was a humble thought hidden deep within him. Even though he had grown up enough to face his own growth, when it came to relationships, he was still the same guy who had been single for decades.

When he encounters a dazzling person whom he admires, his first reaction is to feel inferior.

This has nothing to do with whether he is powerful or not; it's just that Yue Ren's values, formed over the past few decades, are constraining him. Although he has changed a lot since obtaining the system and becoming a sorcerer, his fundamental nature cannot be easily changed.

He can face life-or-death crises without flinching, but he can't let go of barriers to face burning emotions.

Moreover, he wasn't sure if the other person really had those feelings for him. If he was wrong, it would be really awkward. After all, aren't there all sorts of illusions in life?

So let's leave this topic here and look at this ' He simply couldn't respond to that burning gaze.

And just like that, winter arrived before we knew it—

Everything returned to normal. Although there were still many things to do, one could feel that peace and normalcy had returned to the surroundings.

Occasionally going on missions with Itajō and others to exorcise cursed spirits can already be considered an improvement in life.

As for Gojo Satoru, Koshito also "lifted" his punishment and turned him back to normal.

However, to Yue Ren's surprise, after being turned back, this guy seemed to have some unsatisfaction.

The Yue people were completely exasperated by this unreliable teacher.

Even this kind of punishment couldn't stop him, which just shows that this man is practically invincible in terms of personality.

After Gojo Satoru returned, it was obvious that Natsume Yuuki was quite disappointed.

To this, Yue Ren could only say that they were indeed two close friends, even their interests were so different, making him feel that he had made a mistake in turning Gojo Satoru back into his original form.

As for Xia Youjie, as a former sinner, it was time for him to pay the price for his crimes. He was sentenced to a suspended death sentence and ordered to serve under the committee, carrying out various dangerous missions to atone for his sins.

I have no objection to this, after all, the future that Yue Ren showed him has already appeared, and he is even prepared to become a cursed object after death, to permanently protect this sorcerer's new future.

After her work pressure eased, Nanami secretly bought a vacation cottage in Malaysia. Unfortunately, how could such a thing be kept from our powerful boss, Gojo Satoru? One leisurely afternoon, Nanami, who was reading a book, looked up and saw Itadori and the others who had been brought by Gojo Satoru for a field study.

After much pleading, complaining, and arguing, Nanami finally couldn't refuse this burglary-like act of care and ended up hosting everyone. That evening, they had a barbecue party together, and watching everyone's laughter and joy at the banquet, he finally felt the fun of being on "vacation."

The others, Miwa and Kokichi officially became a couple, Toudou Aoi was always clinging to her good friend Itadori, and occasionally went to see her own Kotakada.

Mai begins her extravagant life as a young lady, while Maki takes on the role of the family's strictest instructor.

Yigu took on the role of a teaching assistant at the high school, spending every day with his friends. Fukuro, on the other hand, continued his studies with the other three children after resolving his sister's matter, showing none of the behavior one would expect from the head of the three families.

Zhang Xiang resurrected his two younger brothers using the body of a curse master. Although they looked strange, after going through so much, no one thought their appearance was a big problem. After confirming that they were not dangerous and with Zhang Xiang's endorsement, they took them in.

Huzhang also saw through the naivety of these two "brothers" and, together with Zhang Xiang, helped them adapt to their new life, which moved Zhang Xiang deeply.

The panda and its "brothers and sisters," namely the "special cursed remains" created by Principal Moth, are no longer hiding and have entered the public eye. They are beginning to explore their next location and direction using the panda's location. The new generation generally welcomes these furry little creatures.

After she had some free time, Ms. Shoko opened a coffee shop in a secluded corner of Tokyo. Apart from the regular customers who found it, she only told a limited number of people about the location, including, of course, a certain white-haired jerk and a black-haired man with squinty eyes.

After that, you could often see the three of them chatting and laughing together here, just like more than ten years ago, and Shoko's face finally showed a smile again.

Everyday life goes on as usual, but Yue Ren, who felt he would enjoy it all, suddenly felt somewhat lost for some reason.

Seeing the smiles on his friends' faces, he was happy for them, but when it came to himself, he always felt that something was missing.

How to put it? There was a sense of unease, like having witnessed the wonders of the outside world only to return to the mundane, especially after the disappearance of the enemies he could have fought against. A feeling of emptiness, of possessing power but having nowhere to unleash it, enveloped him.

He knew it was wrong, but sometimes he couldn't help but fantasize about new adventures.

One day, familiar words reappeared on his retina, leaving him stunned after just finishing a sparring match with Gojo Satoru.

"Strong host intent detected. Proceed to the next stage of the journey?"

Faced with this statement, which was both clear and ambiguous, the Yue people were stunned.

He knew what this was, of course, but he was a little confused. He didn't expect the system to say something like this at a time like this.

Is it intelligent? But when called, there is still no response, just like before. There is only one sentence, and when the mind is focused on it, there is a yes or no choice, but nothing else.

Just like when he first filled in his name, everything was his own choice.

There is no time limit, which means that he will stay in the task bar until he makes a choice, just like at the beginning, simply presenting the choice to himself.

The Yue people hesitated.

A week later, Yue Ren, having arranged everything, finally opened the panel again.

Just like the statement above, it's a strong desire.

It seems that this mission was created because they sensed his desire for "adventure." In that case, I'd like to go and see for myself.

After leaving a letter saying "I plan to travel for a while" as a form of follow-up, he opened the taskbar, took a deep breath, and selected "Yes".

The next moment, a flash of white light appeared, and Yue Ren disappeared from the spot.

(The Spellbook - End)
