Fist Annihilates Suguru Geto's Incarnation

Feeling Lu Lu's icy gaze, the burly man in the suit on the ground snapped awake in an instant.

He hurriedly scrambled backward in panic, waving his hands as he did.

"W-Wait! Wait! I can explain!"

The unrestrained expression he had worn moments ago was gone. His face, twisted by pain, now held nothing but fear and panic.

His eyes darted rapidly between Lu Lu and Star Platinum behind him.

This boy clearly did not possess even a trace of cursed energy, so why did he have such a bizarre ability?

The man pondered frantically.

Bang!!!

Before he could figure it out, a dark shadow fell over his vision.

Lu Lu raised his leg and stomped on his face, giving his head an intimate encounter with the floor.

The blood already flowing from his nose and mouth immediately became uncontrollable, and an even more miserable scream came from beneath Lu Lu's shoe.

"I spent too long packing, so my legs went a little numb and I lost my footing. You don't mind, do you?"

Lu Lu's faint voice drifted down from above the suited man's head.

Although searing pain continued to radiate through his face and the back of his head, Lu Lu's words instantly silenced him.

Lu Lu sounded as if he were asking for his opinion, but he felt that if he showed even the slightest dissatisfaction or kept making those noises, he would lose his head.

"O-Of course I don't mind... It was just an accident..."

But when he tried to push himself up slightly, an even greater force pressed against his face.

Hmph...

With a muffled thud, the suited man's head sank slightly into the floor of Lu Lu's room.

"My legs still haven't recovered, so I can't really put any strength into them. Why don't we talk like this for now? What do you think?"

"..."

A few muffled sounds came from beneath his foot, and the suited man's head moved slightly.

Only then did Lu Lu raise his leg a little, giving him a sliver of room to breathe.

What Lu Lu did not see, however, was the venomous look in the suited man's eyes beneath the shadow of his sole.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Even though his technique was extremely weak in combat, no one had ever caught him, much less trampled him underfoot.

You damned brat. The day you fall into my hands, I'll make you pay back double!

Naturally, he only dared bury those words in his heart. On the surface, he still put on a respectful appearance.

He squeezed an ugly smile onto his bloodied face.

"I did not come with any ill intent this time. I am here on behalf of our leader to invite you."

Leader?

Lu Lu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Just the title "leader" told him who had sent this man, but Lu Lu could not let it show.

A trace of mockery appeared on Lu Lu's face.

"Oh? You sorcerers believe in God too?"

The suited man shrank back, an awkward smile appearing on his face.

"Heh heh... Not exactly... We are the Time Vessel Association... Our leader is one of the three Special Grades in the Jujutsu Society."

One of the three Special Grades?

Right.

At this point, Okkotsu had not followed the original plot and gone out with Maki, thereby summoning Rika.

Suguru Geto had not obtained Okkotsu's student ID either, so naturally he did not know that Yuta Okkotsu was also a Special Grade jujutsu sorcerer.

So...

They had set their sights on me?

Lu Lu could not help but find it amusing. Star Platinum was indeed far more powerful than Rika Orimoto.

But Star Platinum was not a Cursed Spirit at all. It was a Stand, a powerful image produced by life energy.

Besides, whether Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation could even affect a Stand was another question altogether.

They had chosen the wrong target from the very start.

Seeing that he intended to continue speaking, Lu Lu pressed down with his foot again, directly stomping his head back into the floor.

"Enough. There's no need to say any more. I have no interest in your so-called Time Vessel Association."

The moment Lu Lu finished speaking, a completely different voice came from beneath his foot.

"Is that so... Then what a pity..."

Thin black strands spread out from beneath Lu Lu's foot, covering half the room's floor in the blink of an eye.

Lu Lu flashed outside the room.

The suited man, who had originally had short hair, was now tightly wrapped from head to toe in hair that had suddenly grown from his scalp.

The hair, as if it possessed a will of its own, tightened while growing wildly, continuously burrowing into the suited man's mouth and nostrils.

Even Lu Lu's eyelids twitched at the sight. An ordinary person would probably be scared to death upon seeing such a scene.

"I had originally thought our first meeting could have been more pleasant..."

Cracking sounds of breaking bones rang out from the man's body as his voice and appearance gradually changed.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Suguru Geto, leader of the Time Vessel Association."

After saying that, the man calling himself Suguru Geto raised his head, a twisted, eerie smile spreading across his face.
