Tritium's technique was called Blooming Fission Flower!

That was right—the same kind of nuclear fission used in atomic bombs.

Its effects were simple and brutal.

She could use the various trace elements in the world to create nuclear fission.

In other words, she was essentially a humanoid, self-propelled atomic bomb.

The kind that exploded wherever she went.

Furthermore, she could use fission to generate enormous amounts of nuclear radiation.

That radiation was the true ultimate weapon.

For ordinary people, nuclear radiation was absolutely lethal.

Swept by Radiation Light, an ordinary person's body would collapse and their genes would rupture in just one minute.

Simply put, Tritium was a walking atomic bomb and radiation source.

It was hard to say just how lethal she was to jujutsu sorcerers.

But against ordinary people, she was the perfect counter—a Grim Reaper walking among humanity.

Her killing efficiency was even higher than Ronawa's.

She was perfectly suited for clearing out cannon fodder.

Beyond all that, Tritium possessed one more special ability.

It was the Genetic Mutation Technique.

Simply put, she could control radiation to influence the direction of genetic mutation.

The upper limit of this technique was actually very high.

In theory, Tritium could continuously mutate and evolve her own body.

But in front of Ronawa, this technique's main effect was turning her into the blue-haired, ridiculously adorable girl she was now.

It was humiliating, but it kept her alive.

When it came to survival instincts...

After learning more about her, Ronawa gained a general understanding of Tritium's situation.

She had to admit that Tritium truly had enormous potential.

Her growth potential was practically maxed out, and she was no less promising than Mahito.

Given enough time, Tritium really could have grown into a super curse spirit and brought the age of humanity to an end.

Unfortunately, fate had been somewhat cruel to her.

Never mind the misfortune of running into Ronawa.

Even without Ronawa, Tritium would not have survived until the later Culling Game period.

She had been stopped halfway through.

Before she could even show what she was capable of, Yuta Okkotsu had blocked her at her doorstep and taken her out.

This was also a trial every Special-Grade Curse had to face.

Moreover, the stronger the Special-Grade Curse, the more likely it was to face such a trial.

Because the more powerful a curse spirit was, the more violent the eruption of cursed energy caused by its birth.

The harder it was for it to hide.

It was practically announcing to every jujutsu sorcerer that a super-powerful Special-Grade Curse was about to be born here.

Hurry and exorcise her while she was still weak!

Tritium had been exactly like that.

Ronawa had been the same before as well.

Hadn't Satoru Gojo directly blocked her at her doorstep too?

It was only because Gojo had gone soft that time that he had not killed Ronawa.

Otherwise, Ronawa would have long since ceased to exist.

Of course, that also had something to do with where Ronawa had been born.

She had been born directly in Tokyo. If they had not captured her, it would have been an insult to her sheer audacity.

Tritium was much the same, having been born directly in Nagasaki.

No wonder Yuta Okkotsu had gone straight to her doorstep.

If she had been born in the wilderness, things might have been a little better.

At the very least, the odds of being discovered would have been greatly reduced.

Though it was difficult for sufficiently powerful curse spirits to be born in the wilderness in the first place.

After taking Tritium in, their original pair became a trio.

However, this did not affect Ronawa and Shoko Ieiri's plans.

After leaving Nagasaki, their next stop was Hokkaido.

It was winter now, the perfect season for skiing.

But Tritium was deeply miserable.

As a curse spirit, she truly disliked skiing.

Curse spirits should act like curse spirits—attacking humans everywhere, increasing humanity's fear of them, and strengthening themselves.

How could they go around having fun and skiing like humans?

Curse spirits were not supposed to be like this.

Unfortunately, she had no say in the matter and did not dare refuse Ronawa's suggestion.

Otherwise, Ronawa's very real iron fist would be smashing into her head in minutes.

In the end, it was because she could not beat her.

Otherwise, Tritium would have rebelled long ago.

Still, even though she knew she was no match for Ronawa.

Tritium remained unwilling to give up.

She might not be Ronawa's match now, but what about later?

Maybe someday, she would surpass her.

And when that time came, she would have to stage a ruthless rebellion from below.

She would let Ronawa know who the real boss was!

The more she thought about it, the more Tritium could not help laughing aloud.

Then Ronawa slapped the back of her head.

"What bad thing are you thinking about? You're grinning so shamelessly."

"No, no. I just thought of something happy."

"What happy thing? Tell me so I can be happy too."

"Um, well, Sister Shoko, let's go skiing! I love skiing!"

Ronawa curled her lips as she watched the guilty-looking Tritium.

This idiot was definitely up to no good.

And she thought she had hidden it well.

What she did not know was that Ronawa had guessed it long ago.

Because Tritium had made it far too obvious.

Maybe all blue types were a little too clever for their own good?

Or was this simply the intelligence level of curse spirits?

Without thinking further, Ronawa turned around and went to find Shoko Ieiri for some skiing too.

In any case, given her strength, no matter how many little schemes Tritium had, she could not overturn the heavens.

After playing to their hearts' content for several months.

Finally, in March, Ronawa returned to her loyal Tokyo together with Shoko Ieiri and Tritium.

Not long after they returned, Satoru Gojo came over for a visit.

It was worth mentioning that Gojo had brought two people with him this time.

One of them was Megumi Fushiguro.

He was still the same as before, wearing that expressionless face.

He was genuinely handsome, but also genuinely blank.

The other was Nobara Kugisaki.

Unlike the expressionless Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki was full of curiosity.

She kept secretly studying Ronawa.

She also muttered softly, "She's so cute, and her skin looks amazing. Her face is so soft and squishy too—it must feel wonderful to pinch."

"So this is the legendary strongest and fiercest Death Curse Spirit?"

"She doesn't look fierce at all!"

Nobara Kugisaki had heard Ronawa's legend long before joining Jujutsu High.

The fiercest and strongest, the Death Curse Spirit.

It had made Nobara Kugisaki instinctively imagine that Ronawa must look incredibly vicious.

But now...

Where exactly was she fierce?

Her gaze drifted slightly downward.

All right, she really was quite fierce there.

It was truly enviable.

Why did a curse spirit need such a good figure?

Hearing Nobara Kugisaki's "quiet muttering," Ronawa could not help glaring at her.

Human, you have absolutely no sense of boundaries.

Did she really think the Death Curse Spirit had no dignity?

As Ronawa and Nobara Kugisaki stared each other down, Gojo and the others were all trying hard not to laugh.

Even Megumi Fushiguro's lips curled upward several times. He had to run through every sad memory from his childhood before he barely managed to suppress his laughter.

After that little interlude, Gojo got down to business.

He looked at Tritium, who was seated beside Ronawa.

Then he said directly, "This is the nuclear curse spirit that was newly born in Nagasaki, right?"

"That's right, but her name is Tritium now."

Hearing that name, Gojo nearly burst out laughing.

Tritium? Are you serious?
