"I will never forgive you!"
Okkotsu gripped the hilt with both hands, powerful Cursed Energy coiling around the blade as his gaze sharpened.
They had actually dared to injure his classmate. That was unforgivable.
What did he care about saving the world? All he wanted was a peaceful life and good relations with his classmates and teachers.
"Hahahahaha..."
"But that's not up to you!"
Geto swung Play Cloud, darting forward to smash it down at Okkotsu.
"Bang!!"
Rika hurriedly raised her arm to block the vicious strike. "Grr!! I'll kill you!!"
With Rika's support, Okkotsu gradually kept pace with Geto's attacks. Thinking back on the brutal beatings he'd endured over the past month, he realized that Geto wasn't unbeatable after all!
"Not bad, junior. You've got a real gift."
Geto had also noticed Okkotsu's immense talent, but he didn't care in the slightest.
At least, up until now, he—a summoning-type sorcerer—had been fighting this warrior with a human shield and a full tank of Cursed Energy using nothing but hand-to-hand combat.
"Junior, the world as it is now is wrong. Let's create a perfect world together!"
Geto's expression twisted as he effortlessly parried Okkotsu and Rika's combined attacks, all while trying to indoctrinate him.
"Clang!!"
Play Cloud blocked Rika's claws and Okkotsu's blade. Geto suddenly exerted force, knocking them both back.
"You can't possibly defeat me. Aside from Gojo, no one at Jujutsu High can beat me!"
Geto was now completely consumed by madness. He wouldn't rest until he had Rika.
But the warrior of pure love was starting to fight back.
After several rounds, Okkotsu grew more familiar with how to use Cursed Energy and gradually mastered the immense power within him. His strength began to soar.
He got it.
With the sword in one hand, Okkotsu took a step forward, his figure instantly blurring as he charged at Geto.
"Have you gotten faster?"
Geto swung Play Cloud straight down, but the figure before him had already flashed behind him.
A massive surge of Cursed Energy flooded into the blade. Okkotsu's expression tightened as he gripped it with both hands and slashed at Geto.
"Crack."
"Boom!!"
The massive surge of Cursed Energy proved too much for the ordinary Cursed Tool sword to withstand. It suddenly exploded into fragments.
Geto turned around and explained through a twisted expression, "If you pour in that much Cursed Energy all at once, the weapon won't be able to take it. Didn't Gojo teach you that?"
Okkotsu froze for a moment, then hurriedly jumped away.
Gojo really hadn't taught them any of this. After all, Gojo didn't use weapons himself, so why would he pay attention to such things?
"You have to feed in the Cursed Energy gradually..."
"Bang!!"
Geto was still thinking of teaching his junior a thing or two when a massive fist came flying at him.
"Crackle!"
Black-and-red lightning burst from the fist. In just a few minutes, Geto—the little boss—had not only helped Okkotsu get used to using Cursed Energy, but even let him land a Black Flash. He was practically a gold-medal teacher.
The punch sent Geto flying into the ruins. It took him a while to get back up.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Geto calmed down. "Looks like I can't keep playing around."
If this dragged on, Miguel probably wouldn't be able to hold Gojo off much longer.
Seeing that, both sides prepared to unleash their ultimate moves and end the battle.
Meanwhile.
Kyoto, the sacred land of Jujutsu.
The teachers and students of Kyoto Jujutsu High were fighting hard to exorcise the curses.
An old man wielded a guitar as he frantically slaughtered Cursed Spirits, unleashing countless Cursed Energy attacks from its strings.
He was like a rock legend, lost in his own art.
Utahime stayed somewhere safe, activating her Cursed Technique to boost the strength of all the sorcerers.
"They're nothing but weak Cursed Spirits, and they dare trespass on this sacred land of Jujutsu?"
Standing on a rooftop, Mai picked off the low-level Cursed Spirits one by one alongside her companions, a trace of disdain on her face.
So Cursed Spirits weren't that scary after all. Why had she been so afraid of them as a child?
"Grrr—!!"
Just as she let her guard down, a one-eyed monk-like Cursed Spirit emerged from the ground behind her. Its massive body instantly towered over the building Mai stood on, and the ring of skulls around its neck marked its strength.
A Grade 1 Cursed Spirit!
"Mai, look out!"
Momo Nishimiya, flying through the air on her broom, hurriedly called out a warning. At the same time, she launched a Cursed Energy attack, trying to draw the Cursed Spirit's attention.
Kasumi Miwa, Mechamaru, and even the passionate young man Aoi Todo noticed what was happening to Mai.
Todo was about to activate his Cursed Technique, Boogie Woogie, and switch places with Mai Zenin.
But the next second, a figure flashed past the Cursed Spirit at a speed almost impossible to see.
"Whoosh!!"
Before anyone could react, a voice rang out. "Little Mai, you need to stay alert."
Shinsuke Zenin had arrived. Without stopping to catch up with Mai, he gave her a reminder, then vanished and began slaughtering Cursed Spirits throughout Kyoto.
He couldn't waste time. Someone else might steal his kills.
"Brother?!"
Mai turned around. All she saw was the Grade 1 Cursed Spirit's head flying through the air.
Purple liquid hadn't even had time to spray from the Cursed Spirit's body.
There was no one else in sight.
"Mai, are you all right?"
Momo flew down from the sky, and the others hurried over to check on Mai.
"I'm fine. That was definitely my brother! What's he doing in Kyoto? Is he worried about me?"
Mai looked excited.
But the next moment, she forced herself to get serious. She had said she wouldn't forgive either of them until she defeated her older sister. She had to stand firm.
"Your brother? You mean your brother from the Zenin Family?"
Momo looked puzzled. Mai had been at the school for a year and had never mentioned having such an amazing brother.
"That man's a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High. If I'm not mistaken, he's Shinsuke Zenin, known as the Cursed Spirit Killer."
Todo revealed Shinsuke Zenin's identity.
"You know my brother?"
Mai tilted her head, curious. As far as she knew, all she could say about her brother was that he was very strong and taught at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Other than that, there wasn't much, was there?
Todo flashed a confident smile. "Is there anyone in the entire Jujutsu World who hasn't heard of him?"
He was a little curious about what kind of woman such an amazing man would like.
"Cursed Spirit Killer? I've heard of him! He's the man who only hunts Grade 1 and higher Cursed Spirits. I also heard he's exorcised a Special Grade Cursed Spirit!"
Miwa had heard of Shinsuke Zenin. Todo's reminder brought it all back to her.
"So my brother is that famous?"
Mai muttered under her breath, her brows slowly knitting together.
Her brother was so powerful, yet he had never looked down on her and her sister.
For some reason, she didn't like the idea of so many people knowing about her brother.
"Hey! What are you doing here?"
Gakuganji, the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High, glared at Shinsuke Zenin in annoyance and demanded an explanation.
"Teacher Shinsuke, it's been a long time!"
Utahime popped her head out and waved to Shinsuke Zenin.
Shinsuke smiled and nodded at her, then turned to Gakuganji and replied without the slightest courtesy:
"Old man, I came all this way to help you through this crisis. You'd better remember to thank me properly."
With that, Shinsuke vanished from the spot and went off to hunt for his next target.
"That bastard. He's just as annoying as Satoru Gojo!"
Gakuganji cursed. Did Kyoto Jujutsu High need help from Tokyo Jujutsu High? He made it sound as if they couldn't handle a few Cursed Spirits on their own.
He clearly just wanted to kill Cursed Spirits. He didn't need to dress it up so grandly.
