Chapter 2: All Things Die, Death Feather! Having figured out Ronawa's growth conditions, Satoru Gojo completely dropped his murderous intent toward her.
In fact, Satoru Gojo had originally intended to just easily deal with this newborn curse spirit.
Only after realizing that Ronawa had the ability to threaten his own life.
His bad habit of acting recklessly flared up again.
He hoped to see Ronawa grow up and have a proper battle with himself so he could enjoy some fun.
And now, upon learning Ronawa's growth conditions and her philosophy.
He also completely let go of his killing intent toward Ronawa.
A curse spirit so dedicated to maintaining the balance of life and death.
No matter how one looked at it, she was not bad.
Keeping her around might even give him a chance to gain an ally in the future.
In the end, Satoru Gojo announced how he would handle Ronawa: "From now on, you will follow me, and I'll find a way to help you grow."
"However, correspondingly, you'll also have to be under my supervision."
"If I find that your actions don't match what you said, then don't blame me!"
Letting a special-grade curse like Ronawa go was out of the question.
If she went on a rampage, the harm would be far too great.
Satoru Gojo couldn't shoulder that responsibility either.
And killing her prematurely would be such a waste; Satoru Gojo was not the rigid type of person who killed every curse spirit he saw.
So keeping her by his side and watching her personally was the safest bet.
As for this outcome, Ronawa didn't have much of an opinion either.
Or rather, this suited her just fine.
While having her safety guaranteed, she could also freeload on food and drink.
As the strongest sorcerer of the modern era, Satoru Gojo's income was very secure.
Following him, she would first enjoy freeloading to her heart's content.
Under Satoru Gojo's arrangements, Ronawa also produced a feather to hand over to Satoru Gojo to close the matter.
After all, the news of her birth couldn't be hidden from others.
Many people knew that Satoru Gojo had come to exorcise her.
If she didn't hand over something, Satoru Gojo wouldn't even be able to give an account to higher-ups.
At the same time, doing this could also make others think that Ronawa had already been exorcised.
It increased her own safety.
Why wouldn't she do it?
Under Satoru Gojo's arrangements, Ronawa quickly changed her attire.
Gone was that chuunibyou and revealing outfit.
Instead, she changed into a more everyday short shirt and shorts.
Her abundant assets stretched the loose short shirt until it was taut.
Her two fair, well-proportioned long legs were especially eye-catching.
In her past life, she would have been dying to lick a girl of this caliber.
Pity that she had now become that person herself.
Though gratifying her hand-craving addiction was still possible.
Besides her clothing, Ronawa also moved into a house arranged by Satoru Gojo.
Considering Ronawa's danger, Satoru Gojo specially found her a remote, detached small courtyard far away from crowds.
It was both comfortable and secluded.
It just gave her the surreal feeling that she was living off a man's hard-earned money.
But it wasn't a big deal either.
Anyway, Ronawa had no shame.
And after arriving at a stable place, Ronawa also had the peace of mind to slow down and carefully study her own abilities.
As the death curse spirit, Ronawa's abilities were related to death.
First was the innate technique All Things Die!
Its effect was to kill everything.
Bestowing the destiny of death upon all things.
Including various curse spirits, jujutsu sorcerers, humans, and even various conceptual things.
Such as space, time, and even cursed energy itself!
The mechanism was unquestionably powerful, a downright heaven-defying mechanism.
The downside, however, was the huge consumption of cursed energy!
Furthermore, the more abstract, conceptual, or powerful the individual to be killed.
The greater the cursed energy required.
Take Satoru Gojo for instance; theoretically, Ronawa could directly pronounce Satoru Gojo dead.
Yet that theory was currently still in Satoru Gojo's hands.
She really couldn't do it.
Aside from that, Ronawa had other means.
Such as the manifestation of the concept of death, the Death Feather!
Which was the feather she gave to Satoru Gojo to turn in for her mission.
The Death Feather was the manifestation of the concept of death, possessing a special-attack effect against all living beings.
Any living being was extremely vulnerable to being pierced by the Death Feather.
And the damage caused by the Death Feather was basically impossible to heal.
Even Reverse Cursed Technique couldn't do it.
The limitation, however, was that the Death Feather was extremely scarce.
Only a "death" witnessed by Ronawa had a tiny probability of giving birth to a single Death Feather.
Moreover, the Death Feather was a one-time consumable; once used, it would dissipate.
Every one she used was one less she had.
Currently, Ronawa only had four Death Feathers in her possession.
Having given one away, she only had three left.
Fortunately, it wasn't a loss either.
Thanks to Satoru Gojo's connections, Ronawa quickly obtained an official identity.
With an identity, she could use a smartphone and create various accounts.
And she could happily surf the internet.
This also resulted in the fact that when Satoru Gojo came to see Ronawa.
He happened to hear Ronawa wearing headphones and fiercely chewing out her teammates.
"You really trash, you even missed your Q skill!"
"Playing this terribly, what kind of games are you even playing? Go home and raise pigs!"
"You still dare to talk back? Believe it or not, I'll trace this network cable and kill you!"
Satoru Gojo was dumbfounded.
Are you sure this art style belongs to a terrifying special-grade curse?
Is she really not some gloomy shut-in who plays video games at home?
After a brief silence, Satoru Gojo interrupted Ronawa's rant.
Then he brought up the main business: "Let's go, let me see your abilities."
"If you perform well enough, there will be a reward!"
Upon hearing this, Ronawa looked at Satoru Gojo vigilantly.
Was it definitely a reward?
Rather than seeing my abilities and then turning around to blurt out, "This girl must not be kept alive"?
Considering Satoru Gojo's personality, Ronawa ultimately chose to believe him.
Because she had no other choice since she didn't believe him either—could she refuse?
She really couldn't beat Satoru Gojo right now.
Living in a remote area had one advantage.
Which was not having to worry about causing chaos.
Finding a random empty spot, Satoru Gojo shoved his hands into his pockets and motioned for Ronawa to make a move.
Ronawa was eager to try, but alas, she had never actually fought before.
For a moment, she didn't even know how to throw a punch.
She finally decided that flailing wildly would be the end of it.
Watching Ronawa rush forward and attempt to pummel him with her fists.
Satoru Gojo sighed inwardly.
As expected, she knew nothing at all.
Was there any fight conducted like this?
However, thinking that Ronawa had only been born not long ago, Satoru Gojo relaxed.
Knowing nothing was only normal.
If she actually knew how, that would be the real problem.
With no need to dodge, Satoru Gojo let Ronawa slam a punch right against his chest.
Just as it was about to land, Ronawa's fist stopped.
Limitless Technique!
Its principle was to infinitely lengthen the distance in front of oneself.
Making any attack appear to be merely a hair's breadth away from him.
Yet it was actually an uncrossable distance.
He had to admit, this move was cheap.
Fortunately, though, Ronawa had activated hers too!
Although Ronawa was unskilled in hand-to-hand combat, she knew Satoru Gojo's intel.
She also knew the principle behind the Limitless Technique.
And as it happened, her technique completely countered this type of technique.
Limitless spatial distance, is it?
Die!
A thought flashed, and the innate technique All Things Die activated.
