Its tongue was still in his hand. This infuriated the frog. It had always been the one fishing for humans. But today...
It had actually been fished out by a human! Watching the frog cursed spirit's reaction,
Chingetsu raised an eyebrow and began tightening his grip slightly.
The fishing rod slowly bent in Chingetsu's hand, and a trace of almost human pain flashed in the frog cursed spirit's eyes. "Ribbit!"
The frog cursed spirit suddenly pushed off with its hind legs, leaving a huge crater in the muddy ground. With a single leap, it jumped a full twenty meters into the air. "Nice idea, but it won't work on me."
Although the frog cursed spirit had dragged him into the air...
Not a trace of panic appeared on Chingetsu's face.
Taking a deep breath, Chingetsu's gaze instantly turned icy. He used his momentum to adjust his posture in midair.
Chingetsu dropped like a massive weight, crashing hard into the ground. A thunderous boom rang out.
Dirt flew everywhere.
The impact blasted a deep crater more than ten meters across into the ground. Inside the crater,
Chingetsu still held the frog cursed spirit's tongue. The frog cursed spirit lay with its limbs pointing skyward and its eyes rolled back.
It looked half-dead.
Clearly, under an impact like that,
Even a Grade 2 cursed spirit had lost most of its life. "Come on, the warm-up's only just started."
Without caring whether the frog cursed spirit could understand him, Chingetsu used Bites the Dust's Stand ability to teleport above its head.
He raised his fist high.
Then he smashed it straight into the frog cursed spirit's head. Smack!
Under the crushing force of the punch, the frog cursed spirit's eyeballs burst. "Ribbit!"
The pain jolted the frog cursed spirit awake, and it let out a piercing croak.

Chapter 53: Disgusting Things Belong in Hell
"Do you know how noisy you are?" A trace of displeasure appeared on Chingetsu's face.
He leaped down from the frog cursed spirit's head.
Grabbing one of its hind legs, Chingetsu reenacted the Hulk's thrashing of Loki. Thud! Thud!
The frog cursed spirit's intimate contact with the earth produced a muffled symphony. Its mouth gaped open as though it wanted to wail.
But no matter how hard it tried, it lacked the strength to make a sound. This human before it was nothing short of a devil!
Blood poured from the frog cursed spirit's mouth, and the violent impacts also made it vomit up one undigested human corpse after another.
"Disgusting!"
Undisguised revulsion flashed in Chingetsu's eyes. "Disgusting things belong in hell."
"Killer Queen!"
Killer Queen's form materialized behind Chingetsu. First Bomb, activate!
The Stand's ability activated.
The frog cursed spirit's body began exploding from its tongue onward. Chingetsu deliberately controlled how long the explosion took to spread. And so,
In despair, the frog cursed spirit felt its own body explode inch by inch, then melt in the heat generated by the explosion.
Dazzling flames gradually spread across the frog cursed spirit's entire body.
The curse that had occupied Takiyama Reservoir vanished into nothingness amid a sea of flames. "Another batch of cursed energy in the bank."
Chingetsu checked his wristwatch.
Twenty minutes had passed since he arrived at Takiyama Reservoir and exorcised the frog cursed spirit.
With his current strength, dealing with Grade 1 and Grade 2 cursed spirits no longer required much thought.
Only when facing some of the more powerful special grade cursed spirits did he need to pay attention to their methods. Some special grade cursed spirits had already mastered Domain Expansion.
Besides that,
Cursed spirits had all sorts of abilities. Even a Special Grade Sorcerer,
If they underestimated a special grade cursed spirit whose abilities they did not know, could come to grief in an unexpected defeat.
Chingetsu was confident, but not arrogant.
That was also why he paid so much attention to cursed spirits.
Only by exorcising cursed spirits and obtaining enough cursed energy points could he become stronger. Chingetsu pulled the cat out of his clothes.
Ever since he got out of the car, this little fellow had huddled against his chest and refused to come out. "Coward."
The pink cat meowed in displeasure.
It stretched lazily, then made Chingetsu's shoulder its second base, curling up comfortably. "Time to head ba-"
A soundless explosion rang out in his mind. A cold glint flashed through Chingetsu's eyes.
Someone had touched the special grade cursed object he had left in the bar. "Finally couldn't resist, you rat hiding in the dark?"
Meanwhile,
Inside the Dawn Bar.
"Aaah! My hand..."
A thin man with a sleazy face clutched his severed wrist, howling in pain. His name was Greed, and he was a Semi-Grade 1 curse user.
The organization he belonged to was the Seven Deadly Sins.
The Seven Deadly Sins had only seven members.
Even the weakest were Semi-Grade 1 curse users like Greed. They had no names of their own and addressed one another only by code names. Of course, the Seven Deadly Sins was merely their flattering name for themselves.
These members came from all over the world and were notorious wanted criminals in their home countries. Under Pride's leadership, they were secretly carrying out a crazy plan. That plan was...
To resurrect Emperor Sutoku, one of the three great vengeful spirits!
However, resurrecting Emperor Sutoku was no easy process.
It required sacrificing vast quantities of cursed energy to repair the Great Tengu Mask, which retained Emperor Sutoku's consciousness. And so,
Cursed objects rich in cursed energy became their targets.
Using his special sensitivity to cursed energy, Greed had found Chingetsu's Dawn Bar. He had also seen the special grade cursed object inside the box.
Confident in his own strength,
Greed had reached out to claim the special grade cursed object without a second thought.
But just as he reached for it, a wave of destructive power emanated from the box.
Had Greed not sensed something wrong and pulled back in time, the outcome would not have been as simple as losing an arm to the explosion. Still shaken, Greed glanced at the box.
Barring any surprises, the explosion had come from a trap set by the box's owner. And judging by its power,
It was very likely a cursed technique set by a powerful jujutsu sorcerer.
His actions just now might already have drawn that powerful jujutsu sorcerer's attention. "I can't stay here!"
Greed stared at his severed arm, resentment flashing in his eyes. "Dawn Bar. I'll remember this."
When Chingetsu returned to the bar, its furnishings were unchanged. The box containing the special grade cursed object also sat there, perfectly intact.
But the blood on the floor clearly showed that someone had indeed been there and touched the box. "Did the explosion kill them?"
"No, they were fairly strong. They were probably only wounded." Looking at the open window on the balcony,
Chingetsu guessed that the intruder had not been killed outright, but had escaped after being wounded. "What a cunning fish."
Chingetsu picked up the box containing the special grade cursed object and set another bomb. Then he used Bites the Dust's erasure ability to erase the bloodstains from the floor.
"Sure enough, the bar really does need a security guard."

Chapter 54: Something to Protect
The next day, at Jujutsu High.
"Are these the candidates who passed the entrance assessment?"
Masamichi Yaga held a document bearing photographs of Kento Nanami and Yu Haibara.
"Very good, especially this boy named Nanami. Both his cursed technique and his character are outstanding." Masamichi Yaga picked up the tea from his desk and took a sip.
"Then I'll leave Nanami to you, Satoru Gojo." "As for Haibara, Suguru Geto will guide him." Satoru Gojo's face instantly fell.
