Capítulo 81: Chapter 79
Gojo scoffed with disdain.
"Hey, gorilla. Even if it's you, do you really think you can take on both of us at the same time? We're the strongest."
"Gojo's right, Mr. Zenin. I understand you're eager because it's your first day, but perhaps a different approach—"
Whisk!
Toji vanished from sight. Instinctively, Geto twisted his body, but he couldn't catch up with Toji, who moved at an invisible speed.
Thud.
Toji had pierced Geto's abdomen with a single stroke of a dagger from the front. For a moment, both Geto and Gojo couldn't grasp the situation. Just for a moment.
As the pain began to register, Geto immediately used his technique. A black rift opened in the air, and a white, gigantic dragon-shaped curse, the Rainbow Dragon, burst forth. Seeing this, Toji immediately withdrew his hand from the dagger and stepped back.
Boom!
The writhing Rainbow Dragon struck where Toji had been standing. Gojo asked urgently,
"Suguru! Are you okay?!"
"...No problem."
Geto looked down at the long sword that had pierced his abdomen. It hurt like hell, but the blade was small, and it had missed his vital organs.
'Was it luck? ...No, no.'
It was deliberate. Becoming incapacitated this early wouldn't fit into Toji's plan.
'It's a lesson,' after all.
In that sense, this dagger was also a warning.
'He won't kill, but he won't stop halfway through, will he?'
It was a mistake. They hadn't anticipated that he could move so fast and mercilessly. Geto thought grimly.
"—It would be better not to remove that."
At the sudden sound of Toji's voice, Geto and Gojo instantly turned around. Toji was leisurely walking from a completely different direction than where the Rainbow Dragon had attacked.
A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes. Satoru extended his arm immediately. His head was hot with anger and the desire to win. Normally, Gojo needed an incantation to activate his Blue technique, but somehow, it felt unnecessary now.
"Cursed Technique Lapse—Blue!"
Toji's form vanished again. An immense pulling force swirled in blue, dragging even the trees from a distant forest, crushing them.
Crack.
Beneath where Toji landed, a giant, one-eyed monster curse surged upward.
Boom!
Toji stepped on the fist of the attacking curse and leaped into the air, vanishing from the sight of the curse and both Gojo and Geto in the blink of an eye. The curse looked around in confusion.
"Damn it!"
Gojo cursed. Despite having just succeeded in using the Blue technique without an incantation for the first time, he couldn't feel happy about it.
'I wasn't hit by the blue.'
I wasn't even in the range of the technique. The subsequent attack from the curse, too, Toji evaded like it was child's play.
As if he knew exactly where and how they would attack.
Geto glanced at Gojo.
"Satoru."
"It's okay, just bring out whatever you have."
Upon Gojo's cue, Geto waved his hand. Several black holes appeared above the Jujutsu High sky, from which black, round curses poured out, scattering in all directions.
Pop-pop-pop-pop!
The round curses rained down from the air like rain. As soon as they hit the ground, they burst, spreading a thick purple poison fog.
'This poison fog would paralyze a non-sorcerer with just a single inhalation.'
However, it posed a risk to both Geto and Gojo as well.
'Of course, it wouldn't affect Mr. Toji to that extent.'
But at least it should slow down his movements—
Click, clatter.
Somewhere, the sound of chains dragging on the ground echoed. Gojo shouted urgently.
"Be careful, Suguru!"
The chains, attached to a curse tool, swung wildly and impossibly long.
Geto quickly ducked to avoid the curse tool that whizzed past where his head had been.
Boom!
Gojo launched another spear towards the chains, but as if mocking him, the chains did not continue their attack and retracted back to their owner.
Whoosh!
As the chains returned, a strong wind dispersed the poison fog.
"Chain of a Thousand Miles. That's the name of this curse tool. It keeps extending if the end isn't observed."
Well, it's not exactly the best item to use against you guys. Toji said as he stuffed the Chain of a Thousand Miles back into the curse's mouth. Seeing him emerge unscathed, the faces of Geto and Gojo twisted simultaneously.
"Satoru, together—"
"He'll just dodge if we attack now. That guy is too fast. Plus, with no cursed energy, it's hard to track him with the naked eye."
Even if they attacked Toji right in front of them, he would evade before the attack could even reach him.
Of course, both knew Toji was fast.
'Would be stupid not to know after getting hit that much.'
But they hadn't thought he could always move at such speed. Nor did they think he could dodge every attack so effortlessly.
'It's like he knows everything.'
Where they are, what technique they will use, and how.
"A Grade 4 sorcerer like that?" Gojo muttered in dismay.
"Is he even human?"
"A physically gifted with zero cursed energy, a Heavenly Restricted Body. Instead of cursed energy, I was born with inherently superior physical abilities. I'm like an invisible man in terms of sorcery, barely perceptible even to your eyes. The curse I use to store my weapons is different, though. That's why I usually keep it inside my body. Since sorcery can't recognize me, it can't recognize the curse inside my body either."
A binding that increases physical abilities by revealing information to the opponent. Since such bindings weren't rare among sorcerers, Geto quickly caught on.
'Was mentioning the features of the Chain of a Thousand Miles earlier because of this?'
Realizing why Toji was uncharacteristically talkative, Gojo chuckled. This was quite something.
"Is knowing where we will use what technique also part of that Heavenly Restricted Body's physical abilities?"
"Who knows..."
That's clairvoyance. Toji had no real reason to inform Gojo about it. After all, he was playing the role of a cursed user against his students.
Hearing Toji drone on about things they already knew and keeping silent on the parts they were curious about frustrated Gojo.
"Damn gorilla's making a fool of us...!"
Screech.
Suddenly, Toji's world turned blue. Instead of the ruined Jujutsu High sports field, he saw a strange space intertwined with wooden rectangles.
At the end of Toji's gaze stood a curse in the form of a woman. The curse, with bandages wrapped around her face and long black hair draping down, said,
"Here I am, me. Me, Nanana..."
Crackle. Numerous grotesque eyes appeared between the strands of the curse's hair, throwing a chilling question.
"Am I pretty?"
Creating a non-aggression zone with an imaginary curse. It seemed to enforce non-aggression on both the opponent and herself until answered.
Toji tilted his head. Although it was an unusual form, it wasn't something he couldn't handle.
'If I answer affirmatively and it's a lie, the risk comes back to me; if I answer negatively, the curse will strengthen.'
Therefore, an ambiguous answer that is neither affirmative nor negative is best. Toji clearly told the curse,
"You're not my type."
The scissors in the curse's hand moved. Giant paper scissors appeared from everywhere, encircling Toji's body and trying to penetrate. However, due to the armored aura of fortitude surrounding Toji, not a single drop of blood was shed.
Toji nodded.
"Pretty good."
It would be better to keep this one alive.
Toji's arm turned black with the Armament Haki. In an instant, moving from where the scissors were to in front of the curse, Toji swung his fist enveloped in the haki.
Thud! Clang!
The form of the curse disintegrated, and the temporary domain was dissolved. He had hit it gently, hoping it hadn't died.
"...!"
And right after Toji was freed from the temporary domain, what he saw was an endless expanse of blue.
Gojo, with blue energy trapped between his hands, grinned brightly.
"You're too late, gorilla."
While Toji was spending time in the temporary domain, Gojo had been preparing his maximum output of the Cursed Technique Lapse, Blue.
"Phase, Twilight, Eye of Wisdom."
A massive blue force undulated in front of Toji's face as the incantation was spoken.
This couldn't be avoided.
"Cursed Technique Lapse, maximum output."
Blue.
