Nobara Kugisaki

"Boom!"

Yuanfang's figure vanished without a trace in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared before Mahito like a phantom and threw a punch, striking Mahito's arm with perfect accuracy.

A sharp crack of breaking bone rang out, and Mahito's arm fell limply to his side.

Mahito was only briefly surprised by Yuanfang's astonishing speed before transforming his other hand into a curved blade and slashing viciously at him!

The blow carried tremendous force, as though it could tear space itself apart.

At the same time, his broken arm rapidly regenerated at an astonishing speed, as if time were flowing backward.

Yet Yuanfang showed no surprise at the sight. He nimbly dodged Mahito's attack and inflicted devastating damage on his body in an instant!

Back and forth they went, exchanging dozens of blows!

No matter how Yuanfang attacked, Mahito's wounds healed immediately. Although Yuanfang surpassed Mahito in both speed and strength, he could do nothing about this situation!

"Hehe, you're just wasting your energy. You can't hurt me at all!"

Despite their prolonged, fierce battle, during which Yuanfang had kept him suppressed the entire time, Mahito felt no fear. His laughter only grew more brazen.

The reason was simple: as long as an attack couldn't touch his soul, it posed no threat to him.

Unless his opponent could exhaust his cursed energy, defeating him was impossible.

And in his eyes, Yuanfang, a mere mortal, would surely run out of stamina before his cursed energy ran dry.

"Not necessarily!"

With that, Yuanfang became a blur again and unleashed a ferocious barrage of attacks on Mahito's body!

Mahito abandoned all attempts to block Yuanfang's attacks. He repaired his body while searching for an opening, hoping to deal him a fatal blow.

Two and a half hours later.

"This isn't right!"

A hint of gravity appeared on Mahito's previously cheerful face. Yuanfang was still brimming with energy before him, as though he possessed an inexhaustible supply of strength.

Meanwhile, the cursed energy in his body was draining faster than ever. Before long, it would run dry!

"Boom!"

Yuanfang drove another punch toward Mahito's body, ready to punch straight through him again!

This time, however, Mahito actually defended himself. He blocked Yuanfang's attack with both arms and used its force to propel himself backward!

"I'll play with you again next time. Hehe!"

Landing on a manhole cover, Mahito waved at Yuanfang with a grin, instantly transformed into a little mouse, and slipped inside!

"I hope you mean that!"

As Mahito left, Yuanfang stood quietly, making no attempt to stop him. He patted down his clothes, then turned and left as well.

Today's gains had exceeded his expectations, leaving him in an excellent mood!

The only problem was that his clothes now had a few holes in them, so he needed to change.

The following evening, Yuanfang was about to head out for a stroll to see if he could find any powerful cursed spirits.

When he reached the entrance, Satoru Gojo stopped him.

"Yuanfang, your teacher has something to take care of, so I'll leave these three with you for training!"

Satoru Gojo pointed at Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori, and Nobara Kugisaki beside him, all dressed in Jujutsu High uniforms, and asked for his help.

"All right!"

With a smile tugging at his lips, Yuanfang reluctantly agreed. After all, his persona was someone who enjoyed helping his juniors!

"Gojo-sensei, maybe we should just call Yuanfang our teacher instead. It's their very first day, and you're already handing us over to him again!"

Even the usually quiet Megumi Fushiguro couldn't help speaking up on Yuanfang's behalf!

On his own first day at school, Satoru Gojo had done exactly the same thing and left him in Yuanfang's care.

Gojo only occasionally came to check on him. The rest of the time, Yuanfang trained him and taught him about Jujutsu Society.

Hearing Megumi Fushiguro's words, Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki couldn't help feeling some regret about becoming this unreliable teacher's students.

"Haha, I can't help it. Your teacher has too much to do! I'll be off now. Make sure you listen to Yuanfang!"

Satoru Gojo scratched his head awkwardly. Before he had even finished speaking, he had vanished without a trace.

"Sigh!"

Faced with Satoru Gojo's hasty escape, Megumi Fushiguro could only sigh helplessly.

"All right, introduce yourselves!"

Yuanfang wasn't particularly bothered by any of this and asked them to introduce themselves.

Although he knew who they were, this was actually his first time meeting Nobara Kugisaki, so introductions were still necessary.

"We've met before, Yuanfang. I'm Yuji Itadori. I look forward to learning from you!"

Yuji Itadori greeted Yuanfang enthusiastically.

He had witnessed Yuanfang's strength the previous night. He was powerful. Naturally, Yuji was delighted to have a senior like him leading them!

"I'm Nobara Kugisaki. It's nice to meet you. Do you like good food?"

She had orange eyes and short orange hair, and her uniform consisted of a blue-black jacket, a blue-black pleated skirt, black stockings, and brown shoes.

With a brown belt around her waist to carry her hammer, nails, and straw doll, Nobara Kugisaki asked with a slightly bashful expression.

"Huh?"

"..."

Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori looked utterly bewildered beside her. Was this really the Nobara Kugisaki they had met earlier that day?

Was that shy expression for real?

"Hehe, I do, actually. Especially Chinese food!"

Yuanfang answered her with a faint smile, unable to resist an inward complaint. Being handsome is a hassle too.

"Me too! That's great! Let's go eat together sometime, my treat!"

Hearing Yuanfang's answer, Nobara Kugisaki was so delighted that she shouted excitedly.

"Sure! Anyway, enough about that. Megumi, where do you train? Lead the way!"

Yuanfang nodded in agreement, then signaled for Megumi Fushiguro to lead them, unwilling to continue the topic.

"This way!"

Still somewhat bewildered, Megumi Fushiguro started leading the way!

Yuanfang followed behind him, with Nobara Kugisaki and Yuji Itadori walking behind them.

"Why are you so gentle with him but so rude to us?"

Yuji Itadori leaned close to Nobara Kugisaki and asked in confusion.

"Tch! You two are boring and average-looking. Why should I be gentle with you?"

With that, she ignored Yuji Itadori and immediately ran up beside Yuanfang to ask about his likes and dislikes.

The instant they met, Nobara Kugisaki had been able to tell from Yuanfang's face that he was probably a gentle, big-brother type.

And he was so handsome, too. He was exactly her type.

With such a handsome, gentle senior to guide them through their years at Jujutsu High, Nobara Kugisaki felt her happiness blooming like a flower.

Behind Nobara Kugisaki, meanwhile, Yuji Itadori was thoroughly incensed!
