Eating Avatars' Soft Food Starting From Jujutsu Kaisen

However, at this very moment, the Special Grade cursed spirit that had been playfully toying with Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi suddenly looked around in alarm, as if startled by something.

"What's going on?"

Noticing the unusual state of the cursed spirit before them, Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi quickly converged.

The next second...

Slash!

A scythe cut through the air. Although the Special Grade cursed spirit had sensed the danger and retreated immediately, it still had an arm severed in one strike.

Seele appeared before Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuji, holding her scythe.

"Ah, you're that person from the other night..."

Itadori Yuji recognized Seele as one of the people who had appeared on the night he first encountered cursed spirits half a month ago and spoke out instinctively.

Fushiguro Megumi, standing beside him, visibly relaxed.

"That's good, it's a Special Grade."

He remembered that half a month ago, his teacher Gojo Satoru had told him that she was a newly promoted Special Grade sorcerer in the Jujutsu World. The next day, he had indeed received a notice from the higher-ups announcing the birth of the fifth Special Grade sorcerer.

Now that she was here, it meant that someone could finally deal with this Special Grade cursed spirit.

Without facing a Special Grade cursed spirit head-on, it was difficult to understand the pressure they exerted. If Seele hadn't arrived, Fushiguro Megumi was certain that he and Itadori Yuji would have surely died.

"That's right, Nobara!"

Realizing he had forgotten a comrade, Fushiguro Megumi quickly prepared to call out to Itadori Yuji beside him. Taking advantage of the fact that the Special Grade cursed spirit was being dealt with, they would go and rescue Kugisaki Nobara.

However, Seele had already anticipated this. Thus, during the few seconds it took for the Special Grade cursed spirit to regenerate its arm, she used her perception of cursed energy and Quantization to instantly appear in Kugisaki Nobara's location.

Boom!!!

Cursed energy imbued with the Power of Creation gathered in her hand, and with a single strike, she cleared out the low-level cursed spirits in that space. Then, Seele approached Kugisaki Nobara, who was stunned by the scene.

"Don't be scared, Seele will take you to a safe place."

Taking Kugisaki Nobara's hand, Seele once again used Quantization to return to the area where the Special Grade cursed spirit was.

"Nobara!"

Seeing Kugisaki Nobara safely returned, Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, I'm fine. By the way, who is this little sister?"

Hearing her companions' calls, Kugisaki Nobara finally came back to her senses, but the shock in her eyes had not yet subsided.

"She's the fifth Special Grade sorcerer who recently emerged in the Jujutsu World, Miss Seele."

Fushiguro Megumi replied.

Although the higher-ups had issued a notice to the Jujutsu World and even specifically provided Seele's photo to lower-level sorcerers and staff to prevent misidentification, this clearly did not include students still attending Jujutsu High School.

Therefore, unless they had met her before or had family connections, ordinary Jujutsu High School students like Kugisaki Nobara would have no idea what Seele looked like, only knowing about the emergence of a new Special Grade and her name.

"Huh? You're kidding, a Special Grade?! At such a young age?!"

Kugisaki Nobara, having just recovered, was plunged into shock once again.

"Yiiiiiiaaaaaaaaah—!!!"

At this moment, the Special Grade cursed spirit, having fully regenerated its arm, let out an angry roar. Immense cursed energy began to gather between its hands, eventually forming a ball of cursed energy about a meter in diameter.

"Please step back a bit."

Sensing the powerful cursed energy gathering in the cursed spirit's hand, Seele turned and reminded the three of them.

The next second, the cursed spirit hurled the gathered cursed energy towards Seele.

Rumble—!!!

The terrifying cursed energy exploded instantly, and the violent blast swept through the surroundings, shattering the surrounding buildings.

However, a white light flashed, and the cursed spirit's full-power blast was instantly cleaved in two.

Seele appeared once more, holding her scythe, behind the Special Grade cursed spirit, which had been cut in half and had lost all signs of life.

Clink!

As the Special Grade cursed spirit's body slowly dissipated after its death, a finger fell from within its remains, revealing itself to be a Sukuna's finger.

"Is... is it over?"

Watching the conclusion of what they considered an extravagant battle, the three of them, who had become mere spectators in the corner, asked hesitantly.

"Yes, it's over."

As she replied, Seele handed the Sukuna's finger, dropped by the Special Grade cursed spirit, to Itadori Yuji.

Without hesitation, Itadori Yuji swallowed the Sukuna's finger.

"So, can we go back now?"

However, this time, Seele shook her head.

"Please wait a moment. An Xiu-ge has something he needs to discuss with you."

Quantizing, Seele instantly vanished from her spot, and when she reappeared, another figure was beside her.

An Xiu had arrived at this location instantaneously through Seele's Quantization. He first surveyed his surroundings, then his gaze fell upon Itadori Yuji among the three.

"I have something that requires Itadori-kun's assistance, so I had Seele inform you in advance."

"I see. Then what is it that you need my help with?"

Itadori Yuji scratched his head, looking confused.

"It's very simple. Release Sukuna and have him fight Seele."

An Xiu replied calmly.

"Huh? But why would we do that?"

"Well... you can just consider it that I'm curious about how Sukuna's strength changes after acquiring a few more fingers."

PS: After the fight with Sukuna, the new avatar should be ready to appear. This avatar will be arranged by the protagonist to be an antagonist type, leaning towards the cursed spirit side.

Chapter 20: Itadori Yuji: Do Curses Like This Really Exist?

Inside the reform school, in a deserted area.

Itadori Yuji and An Xiu stood opposite each other, facing Seele.

Given Sukuna's previous history of attacking spectators, Fushiguro Megumi, who had learned his lesson, had already left with Kugisaki Nobara, showing no intention of staying to watch.

Therefore, the only one who remained to spectate was An Xiu.

"So, you really don't plan on leaving here first? Sukuna is very dangerous,"

Itadori Yuji said, looking at An Xiu with concern.

"Even if Miss Seele isn't afraid of Sukuna, if Sukuna suddenly attacks you during the fight, and Miss Seele can't protect you in time..."

This sparring match to test Sukuna's strength would likely result in a fatality.

An Xiu silently added in his mind.

After all, if such a situation were to occur, to protect his safety, Seele would undoubtedly go all out immediately. With the full power of the Herrscher of Life and Death unleashed, An Xiu certainly wouldn't be the one to die.

Moreover, such a situation wouldn't happen. If Itadori Yuji could consider this problem, how could An Xiu and Seele not?

"Don't worry. Seele won't be taking action in this fight; she'll be by my side protecting me the entire time. As for Sukuna's opponent, it will be another Seele."

"Another one? Does Miss Seele have an older or younger sister?"

Itadori Yuji looked confused at his words.

"Idiot."

A terrifying surge of black and red cursed energy erupted, and Black Seele's figure slowly emerged from the cursed energy, appearing beside Seele.

"Sukuna's opponent is me."

Cold, dangerous, and powerful – that was Itadori Yuji's first impression of Black Seele.

At this moment, Black Seele, whose overall color scheme was black and red, with an aura completely opposite to Seele's true form, hovered in mid-air with sharp eyes. Just looking at her filled one with malice.

Feeling waves of danger and a deadly aura washing over him, Itadori Yuji swallowed hard.

"Wh-what's going on here?!"

This is a curse, right? This chilling feeling, it must be a curse!

Why would Miss Seele, a Special Grade sorcerer, suddenly have such a dangerous curse appear beside her?!

"As you can see, just like you have Sukuna's consciousness residing within you, Black Seele has been residing within Seele's body since she was very young."

"However, compared to the relationship between you and Sukuna, Seele's relationship with Black Seele is probably a bit better. So you don't have to worry about her harming you. This time, it's at the request of me and Seele that she's here to help test Sukuna's strength."

An Xiu explained.

In reality, Black Seele had actively requested to fight Sukuna this time. An Xiu's original plan was to have Seele fight, and if any accident occurred that put him in danger from Sukuna, then Black Seele would appear to stop Sukuna at the critical moment.

However, the current situation wasn't bad either. Considering that Black Seele hadn't taken action for a long time since her last appearance where she defeated Gojo Satoru, An Xiu agreed to Black Seele's request.

"A curse that doesn't harm its host and even actively helps them?"

Hearing An Xiu's explanation, Itadori Yuji's mind went blank.

"So, Miss Black Seele won't fight Miss Seele for the body, won't have any harmful thoughts towards Miss Seele, and will even actively provide assistance when problems arise?"

"That's right. Initially, when Black Seele appeared, Seele hadn't awakened her cursed energy, nor did she have her current strength. To avoid being bullied at the orphanage, it was Black Seele who always protected Seele back then."

An Xiu's answers reached Itadori Yuji's ears. He could understand every word, but when they were put together, Itadori Yuji felt like he couldn't comprehend them.

Do curses like this really exist?

Looking at Seele and Black Seele before him, and then thinking about Sukuna within him, Itadori Yuji truly felt the disparity in the world at that moment.

"But, Teacher Gojo Satoru said that Sukuna is considered the King of Curses among all curses. Won't Miss Black Seele be alright?"

"Heh."

Hearing this, Black Seele in mid-air revealed a cold, disdainful smile.

"Just go ahead and unleash Sukuna. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"The King of Curses? He's just a mortal born in an era without me."

As Black Seele's words fell, the entire scene seemed to fall into a moment of silence.

The next second, a mouth appeared out of nowhere on Itadori Yuji's face, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You bastard... you really dare to talk like that!"

Undoubtedly, the one speaking at this moment was Sukuna, residing within Itadori Yuji.

To be honest, as the strongest King of Curses from a thousand years ago, Sukuna had encountered many arrogant individuals. Among them were fools who dared to boast in front of him, but they all inevitably died by his hand in the end.

Logically speaking, being belittled by someone he considered insignificant should not have caused Sukuna any significant emotional fluctuation. In fact, he would normally just find it amusing.

However, for some unknown reason, Black Seele's words at this moment struck a nerve, causing Sukuna within Itadori Yuji to feel waves of uncontrollable anger surge outwards.

This feeling made Sukuna wish he could tear apart everyone present into eight pieces immediately!

"You're just a domesticated beast of burden, a curse tamed by humans. How much strength can someone like you possibly have?"

"Hey, kid, you heard them. They're the ones who asked this great lord to attack them. Since that's the case, hurry up and hand over your body. I can't wait to make these guys regret their words!"

"First this arrogant curse, and then that woman over there who attacked me last time!"

Even though Black Seele had already thoroughly angered Sukuna, the vindictive Sukuna hadn't forgotten Seele, who had seriously wounded him half a month ago by catching him off guard.

At this moment, Sukuna harbored the thought of dealing with Black Seele first after emerging, and then taking the opportunity to get revenge on Seele, constantly urging Itadori Yuji.

And Itadori Yuji, genuinely annoyed by Sukuna, retreated a distance and then nodded at Black Seele not far away.

"Then, I'm going to release Sukuna."

Closing his eyes, black patterns began to appear on Itadori Yuji's body.

The next second, four eyes opened. Sukuna, with a look of wild arrogance, gazed at Black Seele not far away and, without any warning, unleashed several slashes with his hand.
