Geto Suguru Feels Wronged

"Teacher Zenin, you don't need to make a move on this mission, leave it to us."

On the way, Kinji Hakari held his head with both hands, looking very relaxed, as if this so-called Grade 2 Sorcerer assessment was just a formality.

Kirara Hoshi on the side also looked indifferent.

After several months of study, they had dealt with Cursed Spirits quite a few times.

With their strength and coordination, a Grade 2 assessment shouldn't even require a teacher to accompany them.

"You're quite confident."

Shinsuke Zenin looked at their nonchalant demeanor and didn't say much. "My principle when going on missions with students is simple: as long as you're still breathing, I won't interfere."

"Even better."

Kinji Hakari was even happier to hear this.

He was currently in a state of high enthusiasm for exorcising Cursed Spirits, and he always approached things he was passionate about with 100% fervor.

"According to the intel, this curse is a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit, about tens of kilometers from here," Kirara Hoshi said.

"Deal with it, and this mission will be complete."

The three of them drove to their destination. An hour later, they arrived at a cave entrance in a mountainous area on the outskirts of a bustling city.

A foul odor emanated from the cave entrance. A garbage truck was parked nearby, and a sanitation worker, fully masked and geared up, was cleaning the trash at the entrance.

"Are you sure this is it? This looks like a sewer entrance, not some cursed place."

Seeing black water flowing out of the cave, Kinji Hakari couldn't hold back his unease.

"To be precise, this is indeed a sewer entrance."

Kirara Hoshi took out three masks and handed them to Shinsuke Zenin and Kinji Hakari.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that Cursed Spirit is hiding inside."

"Swoosh!"

"Ah--!"

As soon as Kirara Hoshi finished speaking, a white thread shot out from the depths of the sewer, instantly wrapping around the sanitation worker's body and yanking him violently into the cave.

The three exchanged glances. Now they were sure this was the place.

"Let's go, we need to save him quickly, or it'll be too late."

Kinji Hakari spoke, then dashed into the depths of the sewer, with Kirara Hoshi close behind.

Shinsuke Zenin stood at the cave entrance, hesitating whether to go in.

The thought of a Cursed Spirit living in a place like this made him feel a bit nauseous.

"Boom--!"

Not long after, a strong Cursed Energy fluctuation erupted from the cave entrance, indicating the two had already engaged in combat.

Sensing the fluctuation, he confirmed it was indeed a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit, which made him even less interested. He decided to wait outside for them.

Having made up his mind, Shinsuke Zenin decisively moved aside.

The air around the sewer entrance was truly unbearable.

Meanwhile, inside the sewer.

Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi chased the white thread into the depths and indeed found the Grade 2 Cursed Spirit.

"So it's just a little spider."

Kinji Hakari looked at the half-human-sized spider before him with disdain.

"Let's finish it quickly."

Kirara Hoshi, seeing that the sanitation worker had already been mummified by the spider silk, urged him on.

"Then let's begin."

Kinji Hakari snapped his fingers, and a train appeared out of thin air within the sewer, heading straight for the spider Cursed Spirit.

"Roar--!"

With a loud roar, the train instantly slammed into the Cursed Spirit, sending it flying before dissipating into Cursed Energy.

Then, a mark appeared on the spider's body, and a similar mark appeared on the sewer wall.

A powerful suction pulled the spider, which had been knocked away, back.

"Bang!!"

It slammed violently into the wall, blood gushing out. The spider let out a tragic roar, its eight legs forcibly pulling themselves off the wall. Its green eyes glared menacingly at the two attacking it.

"Swoosh!"

White threads shot out from its rear, attacking the two. At the same time, it spewed out a dark green liquid from its mouth, which was clearly poisonous.

Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi quickly dodged to the side. The dark green venom accurately hit the sanitation worker who was wrapped in silk like a mummy.

"Ahhh--!!"

The sanitation worker, who had a sliver of hope for survival, let out heart-wrenching screams, writhing on the ground. Every few seconds, his body would be corroded by the venom, leaving only a pile of white bones.

"Hiss..."

A truly tragic sight.

Kinji Hakari gasped, a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit, still quite formidable.

"Kinji, don't give it another chance to attack, let's finish it in one go!"

Kirara Hoshi moved swiftly, marking the walls in various directions while also placing different marks on himself and Kinji to avoid surprise attacks.

"Okay, now for the exciting part!"

Kinji Hakari's enthusiasm surged, and he began to fight the Cursed Spirit with all his might.

With Kirara Hoshi's support, he could freely summon trains, dump trucks, and hundred-ton trucks to crash into the opponent.

He kept drawing lots, attacking with fighters of different weights. Although they were all products of Cursed Energy, the power they generated varied.

After more than ten minutes of continuous collisions, the half-human-sized spider's Cursed Energy was finally depleted. Unable to resist the fierce impacts any longer, it turned into a puddle of mud, began to disintegrate, and dissipated.

"We got it!"

Kinji Hakari raised his hands, tilted his head slightly, and closed his eyes, savoring the thrill of defeating an enemy through continuous drawing.

"Whew... too bad, we couldn't save this guy."

Kirara Hoshi wiped the sweat from his brow and glanced at the white bones on the ground.

"Let's go, there was nothing we could do."

They couldn't afford to worry about others during the fight.

After all, they were only Grade 3 Sorcerers so far, insignificant existences.

After this incident, they were promoted to Grade 2, finally possessing some strength.

Of course, with their Cursed Techniques, if they cultivated diligently, they would definitely reach Grade 1 Sorcerer level before graduation, or at the very least, Quasi-Grade 1.

Having dealt with the Cursed Spirit, both of them relaxed and were about to head outside. However, just then, from deeper within the sewer, a thick strand of spider silk shot out like a white bullet, piercing through both of their abdomens!

"Pfft!"

Both of them spat out a mouthful of blood simultaneously, their eyes filled with confusion. Then, they were dragged into the depths like prey.

It was only then that they realized that there might not be just one spider, but a whole nest!

Damn it, they were tricked by Jujutsu High's intel!

The two of them had undertaken few missions and didn't know that Jujutsu High's mission intel was often inaccurate.

Otherwise, they would have been more careful.

At this moment, only one thought occupied their minds: Where the hell was their teacher???

Outside, Shinsuke Zenin encountered someone who was both unexpected and appeared quite reasonably.

"Are you trying to pick a fight with me?"

"Why are you everywhere!?"

Suguru Geto glared at Shinsuke Zenin, a hint of grievance rising inexplicably in his heart. Was it easy for him to find a good Cursed Spirit?

Ever since he defected from Jujutsu High for the future of the Jujutsu World, every time he targeted a promising Cursed Spirit, he would inexplicably run into this guy.

And this guy would unhesitatingly and brutally kill the Cursed Spirit right in front of him, leaving not even a shred for him!

"It seems we're quite fated, young Geto."

Shinsuke Zenin was also surprised to see Suguru Geto appear here. Since when did this kid start caring about Grade 2 Cursed Spirits?

No.

The next second, Shinsuke Zenin realized that there was no way this kid would care about a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit.

The one inside was likely more than Grade 2.

"I'll talk to you later, I need to check if my two students are still alive."

With that, he flashed and disappeared from his spot.

His attention, diverted by Suguru Geto, made him realize that the Cursed Energy signatures of Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi had vanished.

"You bastard!"

Suguru Geto angrily followed behind, wanting to see if he could snatch the prey from the other party this time!
