Unsurprisingly, the half-minute video of Miyauchi Hikage fighting the one-finger Sukuna was uploaded to the chat group by Yotsuya Miko less than ten minutes after their spar.
"Zither Moon Yang and Zither Moon Yin look so cool, directly pressing Ryomen Sukuna down and beating him. He looks completely powerless to fight back. So this is the King of Curses? I feel like I could do it too," said Doma Umaru. Watching this video, she was so excited that she grabbed a hotel pillow in her room and replicated a wave of Miyauchi Hikage's moves.
The Mysterious Person had actually written about these moves in the diary, and even provided many answers and explanations when other girls asked about these moves later.
But the only person who could execute this set of boxing so beautifully so far was indeed only Miyauchi Hikage.
Just looking at this thirty-second video, the result was Ryomen Sukuna overestimating his capabilities. Every time he approached Miyauchi Hikage, he was knocked down by Miyauchi Hikage in two or three moves. It looked just like a martial arts master casually toying with a rookie who only knew flashy but impractical moves.
"If it were you, you'd probably go up and be chopped into eight pieces by Ryomen Sukuna in less than a second," as Umaru's gaming buddy, Kuroneko unceremoniously roasted Umaru upon seeing her excited appearance.
Although Umaru also had supernatural powers now, when it came down to it, she just used mahjong tiles to smash people, and it was highly dependent on luck and teammates.
Right now, she could only use it to bully low-level curses and vengeful spirits. Even encountering slightly stronger shadows in the Metaverse was quite difficult for her to fight alone; she needed the cooperation of her teammates.
And Shinomiya Kaguya also stated in the group that the two weird entities she found very troublesome to deal with were instantly killed in just a few moves by this Ryomen Sukuna in the video, who looked like he was being toyed with by Miyauchi Hikage.
"It can only be said that Hikage-kun's strength already exceeds Sukuna in this state by too much. After all, it's only a one-finger Sukuna. If a one-finger Sukuna could defeat Hikage-kun, who already has special-grade strength, it would be too outrageous."
"According to Hikage-kun, a one-finger Sukuna's abilities in all aspects can be considered a special-grade gatekeeper. With strength above special-grade, he is very easy to deal with. Without it, although one can exchange a few blows with him, there is basically no possibility of defeating him."
A few girls who paid more attention to Miyauchi Hikage's strength also continued to ask in the group: "So, has the current Miyauchi already mastered a Domain? How long has it been? Didn't you say Domain Expansion is the most profound technique of a jujutsu sorcerer? I remember Miyauchi hasn't even attended many classes at Jujutsu High, right?"
In response, Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko could only state that the treatment of a genius is different. Basically, if Miyauchi Hikage wanted to find anything at Jujutsu High, he just needed to tell the teachers at the school and could directly borrow the corresponding books, and then just casually study them to master those things.
Of course, this actually couldn't be entirely counted as Miyauchi Hikage's own talent; the credit of Projection Magecraft also had to be included.
Basically, facing topics of interest, Miyauchi Hikage only needed to project the corresponding Cursed Tools and Cursed Objects, and then he could receive the other party's techniques through the projected items.
As long as he could calm his mind to study and feel these memories that acted directly on his body when obtaining these arts.
In the eyes of outsiders who didn't know the secret of Projection Magecraft, Miyauchi Hikage belonged to the kind of super genius who could quickly master anything new he came into contact with.
Therefore, in the hearts of many girls at this time, it wouldn't be surprising even if Miyauchi Hikage really researched Domain Expansion during his secluded study these past few days.
But in response to this, Miyauchi Hikage himself still acted very modestly, stating that this Domain prototype was his limit right now, and it could only be maintained for a period of time. Being able to freely deploy a Domain would still take a long time.
Satellites have to be launched one by one, making his "progress" traceable.
"Moreover, this is not just my own effort. During the process of researching the Domain, Miss Tohru also provided me with a lot of help."
Tohru's existence was naturally no longer a secret.
Miyauchi Hikage had long mentioned Tohru's identity in the diary, and these girls already had awareness of Tohru's appearance.
Even if on this point, the girls and Miyauchi Hikage all maintained a tacit silence, only treating Tohru as a "mysterious and powerful supernatural being who was helped by Miyauchi Hikage and Menma," it could still be considered a kind of tacit acknowledgment.
After all, Tohru was not a holder of the second batch of diaries, and even seemed to belong to an extremely thick thigh, so everyone just wanted to build a good relationship with her.
It was just that Tohru was quite a homebody now, basically staying at home doing research all day, only popping up when shooting videos. She didn't even participate in this collective trip activity.
So many girls had no way to build a good relationship with Tohru even if they wanted to.
Miyauchi Hikage continued to add: "But it's still just a semi-finished product now. Wait until Miss Tohru and I research it thoroughly in the future, and then we will simplify these arts before teaching them to you. Although it might not be as powerful as a normal Domain Expansion, using it to fight those who have mastered Domains shouldn't be a big problem. Just use it as an enhanced version of a Simple Domain."
Hearing Miyauchi Hikage's words, Shinomiya Kaguya was still very expectant.
After all, she had been in contact with the Inner World for a while now, and she was relatively clear about the situations of Domain Expansion and Simple Domain.
Currently, the mainstream was still the Simple Domain of the New Shadow Style. It was just that the New Shadow Style was easy to join but hard to leave. Basically, one Binding Vow could lock up those jujutsu sorcerers with average talent for a lifetime.
After learning the truth about the New Shadow Style, it was impossible for Shinomiya Kaguya to choose to join the New Shadow Style.
Besides that, other Simple Domains and powers similar to Domains were all very troublesome.
Because of the suppression by the New Shadow Style, although there were indeed other schools of Simple Domain in the jujutsu world, basically they were only taught privately one-on-one under the name of master and apprentice, to avoid being suppressed by the numerous members of the New Shadow Style.
As for other abilities similar to Domains, placed in other supernatural systems, they were also considered quite profound arts. Obviously, they were not something that could be casually learned.
Now that Miyauchi Hikage said so, with their research speed, it was estimated that in a month at the latest, they should be able to get the Simple Domain training method developed by Tohru and Miyauchi Hikage together.
At that time, it was estimated that after successfully cultivating it, they would at least have Grade 2 strength as a guarantee.
"But I heard that Ryomen Sukuna in his prime almost wiped out all the jujutsu sorcerers of that era. If he really ate twenty fingers and recovered his peak strength, I'm afraid even Gojo-sensei wouldn't be his match, right?"
After Gojo Satoru left with Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuji, Shinomiya Kaguya asked Miyauchi Hikage with some concern while contacting the local supernatural agency to handle the situation at the school.
After all, according to the Mysterious Person, the final decisive battle was Ryomen Sukuna directly cutting Gojo Satoru in half with a Spatial Slash.
"There is indeed this possibility," Miyauchi Hikage casually replied, "Although it's only one finger currently, one can actually already feel his combat style. If he really recovers his prime state, I'm afraid there won't be many jujutsu sorcerers in this world whose cursed energy can compare with his."
"Moreover, having suppressed an era, his head probably still holds many arts lost from that era. Although modern jujutsu sorcerers have also researched many new things, Sukuna can completely secretly research and master those modern jujutsu arts, and when the critical moment comes, take out the things in his head to use as a trump card."
"With this kind of gap in enemy and allied intelligence, if Mr. Gojo is careless for a moment, there is indeed a considerable probability of overturning."
In terms of adapting to the era, the Ryomen Sukuna in the original work indeed did quite well. After figuring out Gojo Satoru's abilities, he was probably constantly thinking about what to use to defeat Gojo Satoru.
Then Domain Amplification, various Binding Vow loans, and the most crucial borrowed Spatial Slash, these were all things he kept hidden until the decisive battle before bringing them out, and indeed defeated Gojo Satoru relying on these things.
Miyauchi Hikage paused here, and then his tone suddenly shifted.
"But right now, I still favor Mr. Gojo more."
Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Miyauchi Hikage somewhat curiously, wanting to know the reason Miyauchi Hikage said so.
And Miyauchi Hikage smiled and pointed at himself.
"Because I'm here."
"Not because I will help Mr. Gojo when the two of them fight, but because my appearance has already changed Mr. Gojo's mentality."
Miyauchi Hikage further explained.
"Before I appeared, the name Gojo Satoru was synonymous with the strongest jujutsu sorcerer in the jujutsu world. From his student days to now, for over ten years, no one could affect this title. Now, the strength shown by this newly resurrected Sukuna also couldn't possibly affect Mr. Gojo's confidence."
"Although saying this might sound a bit narcissistic, because of my appearance, Mr. Gojo should have felt that his position as the strongest is threatened by me, this junior. Then, to maintain his dignity as the strongest and as a teacher, he will naturally spend more time researching how to counter my power."
Ever since Gojo Satoru mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique during the process of killing Fushiguro Toji ten years ago, and later mastered Domain Expansion, Gojo Satoru had steadily stood at the pinnacle of the jujutsu world.
But because the suppression of those bugs above prevented him from rewriting the pattern of the jujutsu world according to his own ideas, and he could only rely on Yaga Masamichi as a middleman to maintain the balance between the two sides, as time passed, Gojo Satoru's mentality gradually became comfortable.
Or rather, Gojo Satoru was also using these trivial matters in life to divert those negative emotions in his heart.
At the same time, because the newly resurrected Sukuna in the early stage was indeed not Gojo Satoru's match either, it allowed him to continue maintaining a relaxed mentality.
Probably it wasn't until the Shibuya Incident, after he was tricked by Kenjaku and broke through the seal, that he finally got serious.
But getting serious at this time was more or less a bit late.
During the decisive battle with Sukuna, Gojo Satoru was indeed far inferior to Sukuna, who had slaughtered jujutsu sorcerers for a lifetime, in the application methods of Domains and techniques.
At the same time, despite obviously having the ability to fly and kite by throwing nukes from a distance, he kept relying on the healing ability of the Reverse Cursed Technique to play Domain clashes and close combat with Sukuna.
But now, because of Miyauchi Hikage's appearance, the situation has long changed.
Ever since Miyauchi Hikage last used the calamity power of Wonder of U to break through the defense of Limitless, Gojo Satoru should have started researching how to deal with the power of calamity.
Today Miyauchi Hikage deliberately disguised the power of Wonder of U as a Domain. Not only for his position as the strongest, but also to ensure the order of the jujutsu world, Gojo Satoru needs to find power that can contend with Miyauchi Hikage.
If Gojo Satoru can maintain his current mental state all along, when the Shibuya Incident happens, he might not even be tricked by Kenjaku's move anymore.
It had to be said, Miyauchi Hikage's explanation indeed sounded somewhat arrogant.
Both Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko had to admit that during this month of knowing Gojo Satoru, they could already understand why Gojo Satoru's reputation in the mouths of those students was so subtle.
If only the other party could be slightly more serious during normal classes and executing missions, restraining his frivolous attitude, he wouldn't be constantly roasted by the students.
If Miyauchi Hikage can really make Gojo Satoru resume his pursuit of power, with nearly half a year left until the Shibuya Incident, if Gojo Satoru can go one step further during this time, it wouldn't be a difficult matter to break the original story ending and defeat Sukuna.
Miyauchi Hikage paused, and then continued to look at Yotsuya Miko and Shinomiya Kaguya: "Moreover, compared to letting Mr. Gojo defeat Sukuna, wouldn't it be more interesting if you guys defeat Sukuna head-on in the future?"
Facing Miyauchi Hikage's teasing words, Yotsuya Miko pointed at herself: "Me fighting Sukuna? Miyauchi-kun, are you joking with me?"
To this, Miyauchi Hikage spread his hands: "Your strength is growing very fast. If you can continue to maintain it, it's not impossible to defeat Ryomen Sukuna in the future."
"Not to mention anything else, if you can awaken a Stand there in Morioh Town, maybe you could directly obtain the power to fight Sukuna head-on?"
Regarding this, Shinomiya Kaguya actually didn't hold much hope.
People who can awaken a Stand are not one in ten thousand, and the probability of awakening cannot be higher than 0.1%.
For the twenty or thirty people who came to Morioh Town this time, if one or two people can awaken a Stand in the end, it can be considered lucky.
Then even if they awaken a Stand, they might not necessarily obtain powerful strength.
"Easy to say, but even you, Hikage, haven't awakened a Stand until now, right? Our probability of awakening is probably even lower."
Miyauchi Hikage gently shook his head: "That's not certain. Maybe someone will awaken a Stand tonight?"
