Star Religious Group!

The moment he heard those three words, Suguru Geto's expression turned ice-cold.

Those scum?

"Nanako, Mimiko, wait here for me. I have something to take care of."

With that, he slowly rose and said to Toji, "Look after them for me. I'll be back soon."

Toji Fushiguro glanced at Nanako and Mimiko.

His cold eyes and the scar at the corner of his mouth made him look fierce and menacing, scaring the two little girls into huddling together.

Tsumiki quickly stepped in front of them. "Dad! You're scaring them!"

Toji scratched his head in annoyance. "This is just how my face looks. I can't help it!"

Several members of the Star Religious Group walked down the street, completely unaware of Suguru Geto tailing them.

Soon, they arrived at the group's headquarters.

On a brightly lit stage, Shigeru Sonoda, a high-ranking executive of the Star Religious Group, was giving an impassioned speech.

Below the stage, a dense crowd of Star Religious Group members cheered and applauded like they were on drugs.

Hiding behind the crowd, Suguru Geto couldn't care less about what they were cheering for.

Just watching this scene, he recalled that moment during the Star Plasma Vessel mission.

If Riko Amanai had really died, these bastards would probably have gathered around her corpse, clapping and celebrating, right?

Just imagining that scene made Suguru Geto sick to his stomach.

"Making mistakes out of ignorance just makes you a fool. Knowing the truth of the world and still choosing ignorance and stubbornness—that makes you irredeemable scum."

Suguru Geto's mind echoed with Gojo Sawa's words.

Suddenly, he laughed.

A reckless laugh drowned out the applause and cheers of the crowd, as well as Shigeru Sonoda's speech.

Step by step, Suguru Geto walked up onto the stage, snatching the microphone from a stunned Shigeru Sonoda.

"Ahem! Well, I'm just here to announce one thing. From now on, the Star Religious Group is officially disbanded. Who's in favor? Who's against?"

"I'm against!"

Shigeru Sonoda shouted angrily. "Who the hell are you? Who let you on stage?"

"He's wearing Jujutsu High clothes—he's a Jujutsu High student!"

"Jujutsu High students aren't allowed to attack non-sorcerers!"

"Get the hell out! This is Star Religious Group business. It has nothing to do with Jujutsu High!"

Countless shouts of anger and whispers surged like a tidal wave.

Suguru Geto scratched his ear, expressionless. "In that case... Daruma!"

Bam!!!

A Daruma doll suddenly dropped, crushing the defenseless Shigeru Sonoda into a pulp on the spot.

Blood splattered, instantly throwing the crowd into chaos.

"You... you dared to kill a non-sorcerer! Aren't you afraid of being hunted by the jujutsu world?"

Suguru Geto paused. "You've got a point!"

The crowd had just started to breathe a sigh of relief when Suguru Geto spoke again. "So I can't leave any witnesses!"

"Sandworm: Earth Burial Void Devour!"

Boom—

A massive sandworm swallowed over a hundred people in one gulp, not even giving them time to scream.

After doing all this, Suguru Geto, who had been frowning with worry these past few days, finally showed a rare smile.

That felt good.

Sensing slightly, Suguru Geto noticed there were still people in the back courtyard of the headquarters.

Following the presence, Suguru Geto discovered an earth cage.

Inside the earth cage, a child was curled up, with large burn scars covering his face.

Seeing Suguru Geto, the boy shrank back in fear.

"Rikyu!"

Suguru Geto turned to look and saw a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl with pink hair staring at him in fear.

"A sorcerer? Isn't the Star Religious Group all ordinary people?"

Under Suguru Geto's interrogation, the girl explained everything to him.

The girl was named Manami Suda, and the small boy with burn scars on his face was called Rikuhisa Negi.

Both were sorcerers secretly trained by the Star Religious Group.

Probably because hiring sorcerers was far too expensive—even the Star Religious Group's wealth couldn't withstand such spending.

That was why they came up with the idea of cultivating their own enforcers.

Manami Suda's technique was the relatively gentle healing technique "Afterglow," similar to the "Reverse Cursed Technique," but not as powerful.

Meanwhile, Rikuhisa Negi's technique, "Explosive Firefly," was a rather dangerous flame-explosion-type attack technique.

Due to an accident during training, he not only burned his own face but also injured several Star Religious Group executives, and was thus locked inside an Earth Cage.

As a fellow outcast, Manami was the only one who had taken good care of him during this time.

Seeing Rikuhisa Negi, who was about the same age as Nanako and Mimiko, Suguru Geto kicked the Earth Cage to pieces.

"Those scum—they died too easily!"

Suguru Geto reached out his hand. Rikuhisa Negi shrank his neck in fear, scrambling backward.

"Don't be afraid."

Suguru Geto placed his hand on Rikuhisa's head and ruffled it. The Reverse Cursed Technique instantly restored all the injuries on his body.

But the burns on his face had already partially healed; the scars could no longer be erased.

"The Star Religious Group no longer exists. From now on, you'll follow me."

Manami and Rikuhisa exchanged glances, then silently fell into step behind Suguru Geto.

Afterward, Suguru Geto swept through the entire Star Religious Group.

Although he wasn't a greedy man, there was no reason to refuse money that came right to his door.

Besides, he now had four kids to support. What was wrong with taking some of the Star Religious Group's ill-gotten gains?

Apart from valuables, Suguru Geto also discovered some intelligence on the sorcery world, among which a stack of information on hired sorcerers caught his attention.

"South African sorcerer, Miguel."

"European sorcerer, Larue."

"A special cursed tool that can destroy techniques, Black Rope."

Suguru Geto wasn't very interested in those two foreign sorcerers, but the special cursed tool Black Rope was somewhat intriguing.

He remembered Mimiko's technique, "Rope-Binding Doll," which would be a good match for Black Rope. He could consider preparing it for his "second daughter."

Moreover, Black Rope possessed the special property of "technique destruction." It might even be able to destroy the Limitless technique, giving Sawa and Satoru a little surprise.

(In the original story, Miguel and Larue were sorcerer allies Suguru Geto recruited from overseas, but here Suguru Geto has no intention of stirring up trouble, so these two characters won't appear.)
