Chapter 322: Differential Treatment
A first-grade sorcerer from Kyoto Jujutsu High couldn’t even escape the flames of Jōkaku Enjō.
The moment Kamo Kenshin was engulfed, the audience who had previously dismissed Satoshi’s flames as superficial were all stunned into silence. The shock struck like a slap across the face.
Gakuganji’s expression was especially grim.
Kamo Kenshin was the pride of Kyoto’s sister school goodwill event. Their strongest representative. Yet he was burned down by Gojo Satoshi in a single move?
Was Jōkaku Enjō really that terrifying?
Watching Kamo Kenshin be swallowed by the flames, Suguru—who had initially thought to "test the technique personally"—froze.
So that’s it. Satoshi hadn’t left a weakness at all.
The open space at the top of the flame ring was a lure. If anyone tried to escape from above, they’d be met with the true danger hidden behind the trap.
If you wanted to break through the flames, the only real path was from the front—through the wall itself. Breaking out upward would trigger fire from all directions.
Now armed with Kenshin’s example, Suguru adjusted his own thoughts on escaping Jōkaku Enjō. His approach became much more cautious.
"Satoshi, Ryūjin Jakka didn’t actually burn Kamo Kenshin to death, right? If so, the relationship between the Gojo and Kamo families might really hit another freezing point."
Satoru shrugged. Though his words carried a note of concern, his expression made it clear he didn’t care.
