Characteristics of Curse Spirits!

Characteristics of Curse Spirits! While Ronawa was peacefully growing stronger,

the entire Jujutsu Society was thrown into a massive upheaval because of her.

Especially after the casualties from the battle to exorcise Ronawa spread.

The entire Jujutsu Society was in an uproar.

More than a hundred Grade 1 and Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerers had died, while Special Grade Sorcerer Yuki Tsukumo had been severely injured.

Those achievements, those results.

This was absolutely the most devastating loss the Jujutsu Society had suffered in nearly a century.

More importantly, Ronawa, the target of the exorcism, had not only survived, but had barely even been injured.

It was utterly shocking.

And even more shocking than that was the news that came afterward.

Ronawa's true nature was that of the Death Curse Spirit!

Everyone in the Jujutsu Society knew where Curse Spirits came from.

They also knew that every Curse Spirit represented a corresponding collective fear held by humanity.

To a certain extent, the fear represented by a Curse Spirit could accurately reflect its strength.

Take Jogo, for example. He represented humanity's collective fear of volcanoes.

And in Japan, an island nation where volcanoes erupted from time to time.

People's fear of volcanoes was relatively intense.

That was why Jogo's strength could reach the level of a Special-Grade Curse.

Ronawa, meanwhile, represented the collective fear of death.

That was simply absurd.

Because death was undoubtedly the purest, most universal, and most eternal fear humanity had ever known.

It was the ultimate source of all other human fears.

Why did people fear volcanic eruptions?

Because they could die.

Why did they fear tsunamis?

Because they could die.

Even why did humans fear the unknown?

Because the dangers lurking within the unknown might kill them!

It could be said that death was the ultimate source of all fear.

All of humanity's superficial fears ultimately pointed in one direction.

That was the fear of death.

Of course, it was not impossible that some people truly feared no death.

But they were ultimately a minority.

The overwhelming majority of humanity still feared death.

Such an enormous foundation, such prolonged and enduring fear.

The Curse Spirit ultimately born from it.

One could imagine just how impossible it would be to deal with.

It could be said that from then on, a shadow hung over the hearts of every Jujutsu Sorcerer in the Jujutsu Society.

A haze named "death."

No one could guarantee that, someday in the future.

Ronawa, the Curse Spirit who wielded "death," would not suddenly appear before them.

It could be said that at that moment, everyone in the Jujutsu Society reached a consensus.

Ronawa would become the greatest threat to all Jujutsu Sorcerers.

If Ronawa was not exorcised, Jujutsu Sorcerers could be wiped out at any time.

Under those circumstances, one could imagine just how terrible Satoru Gojo's reputation had become.

After all, Satoru Gojo had once had the chance to eliminate Ronawa's threat in advance.

But he had not done so.

Instead, he had sheltered Ronawa.

In the eyes of Jujutsu Sorcerers, that was the gravest betrayal.

Even though Satoru Gojo was the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of the modern era and possessed great prestige.

He could not withstand it at all now.

He was practically being cursed like a dog.

If he wanted to change this situation, Satoru Gojo would have to redeem himself by killing Ronawa two months later.

Otherwise, Satoru Gojo would have to sit at the same table as Ronawa.

And become someone hated by everyone in the Jujutsu Society.

All one could say was that this was how the world worked.

Those Jujutsu Sorcerers would not try to understand what kind of personality Ronawa had, or what kind of person she was.

They would only remember that Ronawa was the most terrifying threat.

That was enough.

Those not of our kind were bound to have different hearts.

Not to mention a Curse Spirit whose foundation was "hatred for humanity."

Honestly, in this matter, it was truly hard to say who was right and who was wrong.

Was Ronawa wrong?

The child only wanted to live. She had not done anything bad.

Of course she was not wrong.

Was Satoru Gojo wrong?

He was not really wrong either.

Though reckless, Satoru Gojo had simply not wanted to eliminate a newly born life that had done nothing wrong just because of the stereotypical label of "Curse Spirit."

Perhaps someone might say that Ronawa had killed Satoru Gojo's "killing intent and vigilance."

What they did not realize was that for his "killing intent and vigilance" to be killed, Satoru Gojo's own killing intent and vigilance toward Ronawa could not have been very strong to begin with.

Otherwise, Satoru Gojo would definitely have realized something was wrong.

Besides, Ronawa had only killed them once at the very beginning.

She had never used that move again afterward.

Yet afterward, had Satoru Gojo not still refrained from wanting to kill Ronawa outright?

As for the Jujutsu Sorcerers, from their perspective, they were not really wrong either.

After all, Curse Spirits and Jujutsu Sorcerers were natural opposites.

They were natural enemies.

Under those circumstances, it could not be called wrong for Jujutsu Sorcerers to want to kill Ronawa.

If anyone had to be blamed, then it was the world itself.

The entire world was what was wrong.

Fear gave birth to Curse Spirits, and Curse Spirits created even more fear.

That mechanism itself was a cycle that kept spiraling downward.

For now, this cycle could still barely sustain itself.

But someday in the future, the Jujutsu Society would undergo a tremendous upheaval.

Then this cycle would collapse completely.

When that time came, no one knew what the world would become.

And perhaps that was the reason Ronawa had been born?

At that moment, the entire Jujutsu Society had its eyes fixed on the earth-shattering battle between Ronawa and Satoru Gojo two months later.

Meanwhile, as one of the people involved.

Satoru Gojo quietly returned to Jujutsu High Headquarters.

And in the school infirmary building, he met Yuki Tsukumo, who was lying in a hospital bed recovering from her injuries.

Yuki Tsukumo had been chatting and laughing with Mei Mei.

But the moment she saw Satoru Gojo, her expression darkened.

"You bastard, you actually dare show your face in front of me."

"I'm lying here now all because of you!"

Yuki Tsukumo glared furiously at Satoru Gojo.

If she had not been wrapped in bandages right now, she would have definitely jumped up and punched him.

Satoru Gojo could only awkwardly scratch his head.

He actually felt quite guilty, especially after hearing that Yuki Tsukumo had been severely injured by Ronawa's Black Flash.

Because he had been the one to teach Ronawa Black Flash in the first place.

Originally, Satoru Gojo had never expected Ronawa to learn it so quickly.

But who would have thought that she really had learned it?

And she used it incredibly smoothly.

If Yuki Tsukumo found out about that, she definitely would not be able to endure it.

Even if it cost her half her life, she would probably still punch Satoru Gojo.

Just look at what you taught her!

Just as the atmosphere turned awkward, Mei Mei beside them spoke. "Can you tell me about that child?"

Yuki Tsukumo gave Mei Mei a strange look at those words.

Seriously, sister? You were calling a Special-Grade Curse a child?

But honestly, she was quite curious too.

Because Ronawa's behavior truly did not match her stereotypical impression of a Curse Spirit.

More specifically, Ronawa gave Yuki Tsukumo a very strong sense of being alive.

If not for her terrifying strength.

No one would find it strange to say that Ronawa was human.
