"Have you decided how you want to die?"
Future Zenin gripped Hanami's throat with one hand, his eyes glowing a menacing crimson.
After being played by Kenjaku like this, it was only fair for him to collect some interest.
The original plan would need a slight adjustment.
"White Zetsu, check yourself for anything suspicious."
On his way over, Future had considered how Kenjaku had managed to make Jujutsu High suspicious of him.
It wasn't as simple as a few words; neither Gojo Satoru nor the higher-ups would be so easily swayed.
Especially that old codger, Gakuganji, who had been willing to let go of the opportunity to eliminate Itadori and White Zetsu.
Turns out, they were waiting for an even bigger catch—me!
Something on me?
White Zetsu, who had been casually watching from the back, was momentarily stunned.
He quickly circulated his Cursed Energy throughout his body, but felt nothing unusual.
With his level of perception, it was impossible for him not to detect anything wrong with himself.
Frowning, White Zetsu pulled out his phone and clenched it hard in his right hand.
Crack!
As the broken pieces scattered to the ground, a tiny black device, no larger than a grain of rice, caught his eye!
Recalling the past few weeks of training, those fragmented, missing memories—those must have been the times they acted.
"Heh…"
White Zetsu suddenly looked up at Fushiguro and Nobara, his face darkening as he laughed bitterly.
"Never thought I'd be the one getting schooled by humans."
Fushiguro and Nobara exchanged awkward glances, speechless and unsure how to respond.
Future glanced at the now inactive surveillance device on the ground, sensing Kenjaku's silent mockery.
It was he who once warned Kenjaku to be cautious of non-sorcerer surveillance and the advancements in human technology.
Yet now, that warning had come back to bite him so swiftly!
I got too arrogant, treating a millennia-old mastermind like some third-rate villain from a cheap novel.
I trusted the plotline too much… trusted White Zetsu's abilities too much.
Thinking back on all those conversations he'd had with White Zetsu over the past few weeks…
The leaked intel wasn't critical, but still—this wasn't good.
At least… there's still time to adjust everything!
"White Zetsu, initiate Plan One."
The smile faded from White Zetsu's face as he quietly replied, "Understood."
After speaking, White Zetsu's already pale complexion became visibly weaker, as though he had been completely drained of energy. His eyes even sank into their sockets, like someone who had been indulging in excess for far too long.
…
A series of unexpected events had left the students standing in confusion.
Yet watching Future Zenin effortlessly holding a Special Grade Cursed Spirit in one hand, completely subdued without resistance, filled them with an indescribable pressure.
It was as if a giant weight had been dropped onto their hearts.
"Future-nii, what's going on?!"
Maki, holding her Special Grade Cursed Tool, Yu Yun, stepped forward cautiously, asking in a low voice.
"Future-nii..."
Mai, trying her best to suppress her fear, also took a step forward, her voice trembling slightly.
Hanami, still attempting to escape, felt the surrounding space grow unbearably dense, almost sticky!
Even moving just a few centimeters drained an extraordinary amount of Cursed Energy.
Future Zenin's sudden appearance had caught Hanami completely off guard.
The students in front of him… they were his last hope for survival!
Cursed Energy surged violently within Hanami's body, and the vibrant flower on his left shoulder slowly opened its blood-red eye!
"Domain Expansion: Bloom of Carnage,"
"Null Technique Expansion: Descent!"
An overwhelming burst of Cursed Energy flashed through the distorted space!
It was like a puzzle where the pieces of space were being rearranged—Hanami's head appeared near his feet, his thick arms flashing near his neck.
This Special Grade Cursed Spirit that had endured their group attacks for so long without suffering fatal damage—
Was now being swallowed by the space bit by bit, like a mere toy.
The students watched the horrifying scene unfold, eyes wide with shock!
As Future absorbed all of Hanami's dissipating Cursed Energy, a look of satisfaction crossed his face.
Casting a casual glance at Maki and Mai, he floated upwards.
Now that he had vented his frustration with Kenjaku, it was time to deal with this barrier that had been keeping him trapped.
…
"Wow! Mai, is that your brother?"
"He scared the hell out of me!"
Nishimiya Momo, clutching her broom, patted her chest in relief, still shaken.
"Yeah, I felt like I couldn't breathe for a second."
Miwa Kasumi, her face pale, also looked like she had barely recovered from the shock.
Zenin Future.
Kamo Noritoshi, Todo Aoi, Mechamaru, and Panda watched as Future ascended into the sky, each with their own thoughts.
Todo's expression was grave, his instincts telling him something was wrong.
Future's attitude and the quiet conversation he had with White Zetsu…
This wasn't over yet.
A glint of red flashed in Mechamaru's eyes, his thoughts even more complicated.
According to last year's intel, Suguru Geto had died at the hands of this man.
Yet just recently, Mechamaru had seen Suguru Geto alive with his own eyes, even leaking Jujutsu High's information to him.
So, the miniature surveillance devices Gojo Satoru had him make—it was for this!
Had they discovered my connection to Geto?
Had my betrayal of Jujutsu High and my alliance with the Cursed Spirits been exposed?
Panda, who knew a bit of the truth, leaned towards White Zetsu and asked, "Does Future-sensei have other plans?"
"Planning to interrogate me now?"
White Zetsu smirked coldly in response.
When the surveillance device fell out, he knew it was the end of his time at the school.
There was no real threat to his safety, though. At worst, he'd just relocate and start over.
"This isn't about interrogating you."
Panda crouched down and helped White Zetsu to his feet, speaking slowly, "I don't know what Gojo heard from you, but I believe you're not a malicious spirit!"
"We all genuinely see you as a comrade. We just need you to clear things up."
"To prevent any misunderstandings that could spark conflict between the school and Future-sensei."
Inumaki Toge, with a sincere expression, added, "Mentaiko!"
"White Zetsu, what's really going on?!"
Maki and Mai, who knew Future's personality best, also stepped forward, one after the other.
"Surveillance on White Zetsu, and Future-sensei?"
"What exactly is happening here?"
Itadori, who had been equally confused, also joined the group.
In an instant, the weakened White Zetsu was surrounded by students from both Jujutsu High campuses.
…
White Zetsu weakly grinned at them, his voice faint. "Pink ape, you need to hurry up and grow stronger. You're still too weak."
"Panda, Inumaki, I'll make sure Future lets you off once."
"As for the bratty girl and the spiky-haired hedgehog…"
White Zetsu glanced at the two, still looking apologetic, and continued, "I suppose you were also forced by that bastard Gojo."
"It's not entirely your fault. In the future, I'll help you out once too."
Finally, White Zetsu turned to Maki and Mai, shaking his head.
"You know Future's personality."
"Unless Jujutsu High submits now, the collapse of the school is inevitable."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Maki, clearly uneasy, shouted, "Future-nii… what exactly is he planning?"
White Zetsu suddenly turned his head toward the edge of the barrier.
"No need to explain. You'll all understand soon enough."
"That brat Future is probably eager to vent his frustrations by now."
Everyone followed White Zetsu's gaze into the distance.
The dense greenery blocked much of their view, but from afar, they could see terrifying Cursed Energy rising!
Purple light flickered in the sky, growing brighter and deeper!
