"Too far, huh…"
Yuuki, who was trying the range of his Sharingan genjutsu for the first time, saw that he couldn't reach Nishimiya Momo, so he didn't bother with her anymore, after all… she was the weakest on the field.
Although she wasn't a big threat, he would keep an eye on her movements. After all… he didn't want to get stabbed in the back.
"It's the second round, I didn't expect to see someone as strong as you among the first-year students."
Mechamaru looked at Yuuki, and the armor on his right arm opened, revealing the hidden cursed tool inside.
Several sharp hooks popped out from within, like spider legs, surrounding his arm. The five mechanical fingers also displayed sharp hooks, and began to rotate like a drill.
"Let's make this quick." Kamo Noritoshi took out three more arrows from the bamboo tube at his waist, lightly cutting his skin to let the blood stick to the arrows, and fully drew his bowstring.
"Yeah, let's make this quick."
Yuuki didn't waste any time either, after all, from the current situation, stalling for time was a joke.
The maze was huge, and for Shura to come over, he would have to return the way he came, and then smell his scent to get here, it would take at least four or five minutes.
Besides… he also wanted to try the feeling of unleashing 『Black Flash』 yesterday. Perhaps it was a little willful, but he just wanted to try it.
Anyway, it wasn't a life-or-death battle, so he would be willful.
Yuuki charged directly towards the three, bent down and picked up the broken blade on the ground, and shot it towards Nishimiya Momo in the sky, aiming straight for her face.
A woman's most important thing was her face. Nishimiya Momo, who was a mixed-blood, paid a lot of attention to her appearance.
Seeing that Yuuki wanted to touch her pretty face, she complained, "You bastard! Don't touch my face!"
"So this is your true face."
Yuuki glanced at her with his scarlet pupils.
He had already pulled one of them in, and could ensure that he wouldn't be ganged up on by three people at the same time for a short few seconds.
Now he only needed to deal with Kamo Noritoshi and Mechamaru.
Mechamaru took the brunt of the attack, and his high-speed rotating right hand shaved towards Yuuki's body.
Cursed energy sprayed out from his arm, directly increasing the shaving speed by three times.
In an instant, the wall was directly destroyed. Yuuki dodged with a flash, and just as he was about to punch him in the head, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air.
Three blood-stained arrows accurately shot into Yuuki's body.
Yuuki looked at the three arrows in his body, his eyes surprised, and he fell down with a "thud" sound.
White mist appeared, and a piece of wood fell on the ground, bouncing a few times, and the three blood-stained arrows were clearly on it.
The real Yuuki disappeared into the smoke.
Kamo Noritoshi looked at the piece of wood that had popped out of the smoke, and shouted, "Mechamaru! Dodge quickly!"
"Thump!"
A violent roar came out, and the smoke was instantly blown away. Mechamaru flew out from within, but had lost an arm.
He rolled twice and got up from the ground, his green eyes staring intently at Yuuki, shouting, "Be careful, this monster knows 『Reverse Cursed Technique』 and 『Black Flash』!"
Mechamaru already had the intention to retreat at this moment. He only had two controllable cursed corpses in total.
The one he had destroyed yesterday couldn't be recovered anymore, and if this one was destroyed as well, then it would mean that he wouldn't have any combat power until a new controllable cursed corpse came out.
Yuuki pulled out his fist from the wall, and looked at Mechamaru, who had escaped with his arm severed, saying, "If it wasn't for Kamo Noritoshi's reminder just now, I would have blown your head off with one punch."
"Die, you bastard! How dare you attack my face? 『Tsukumogami Manipulation: Scythe Severing』."
Nishimiya Momo stepped on her broom and charged behind Yuuki at this moment, the yellow withered leaves scraping on the ground.
With a swift turn, cursed energy stirred up the wind to form a sharp wind blade, mixed with the dust on the ground, and attacked Yuuki.
Although it looked fierce, and the attack path covered the entire path. But in Yuuki's eyes, this move was full of loopholes.
Although the cursed energy was concentrated at the moment the technique was unleashed, when it covered the entire path later, the distribution of cursed energy became disorganized.
Although it was difficult for normal people to see it, he had the Sharingan.
Under everyone's gaze, Yuuki only shifted to the left by one step. The wind blade hit him solidly, but it was just like a breeze blowing past.
And next to him, shallow scratches appeared on the solid wall, and the ground was ravaged by the wind blade, looking as miserable as if it had been cut a thousand times.
"What! He actually dodged it!?"
Nishimiya Momo, who had originally thought that Yuuki wouldn't die but would still lose a layer of skin, was surprised at this moment, and at this moment, his hands had already alternated into afterimages, forming seals that she couldn't understand, and his mouth seemed to be muttering something.
"Serpent, Sheep, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger, Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Yuuki took a deep breath, his chest bulging high.
At this moment, there seemed to be a burning fireball in his throat, and as the air in his lungs was exhaled, a towering fireball that consumed 200 cursed energy flew towards Nishimiya Momo.
Like a small sun, it made the slightly cool midday air of autumn become hot, and even the air was distorted.
Kamo Noritoshi, who had originally been preparing to attack, also had the idea of retreating at this moment, and put down the bow in his hand, which was already fully drawn, as he watched the fireball flying into the sky.
There was no need to test his strength anymore, there was no point in continuing to fight. 『Reverse Cursed Technique』, 『Black Flash』, those sharp and almost all-seeing strange eyes, and the already known flames.
Although it was a mystery why those three arrows had hit the wood before, it wasn't a good time to explore it now, if they didn't leave, they would all be done for.
Nishimiya Momo, who had barely dodged the fireball, also didn't have the intention to fight anymore, her technique had been completely seen through.
She glanced at Kamo Noritoshi, who was the captain, and shook her head at him.
Mechamaru also reminded him in a low voice, "Let's go, I only have this one cursed corpse left, if it's destroyed, I'm done for."
"Alright."
Kamo Noritoshi nodded, put the arrows in his hand back into the bamboo tube at his waist, cupped his fist and said, "We lost, goodbye."
"Wait a minute, my sword was broken by you, if you can't give me something that satisfies me, then you might not really be able to leave."
Yuuki said and walked towards the one person and one cursed corpse.
Although he didn't have much cursed energy left at this moment, as long as he put on a strong front on the surface, there wouldn't be any big problems.
After all, not everyone was like Gojo-sensei, who had the Six Eyes that could see through cursed energy.
This wasn't a big secret in the jujutsu world either, it was easy to find out, and he could ask any Grade 1 or higher sorcerer, and they would know.
Seeing Yuuki walking steadily towards them, Kamo Noritoshi was in a difficult position at this moment, after all, he didn't know if he was pretending, since the 『Reverse Cursed Technique』 and that ball of fire clearly consumed a lot of cursed energy.
But he just couldn't be sure, and if they fought, his side wouldn't get any benefits either. He looked at the broken sword on the ground in the distance and said, "I'll compensate you with a better cursed tool after the competition is over, I guarantee it with the Kamo family's reputation."
"Deal."
Yuuki, who had achieved his goal, also stopped, watching the two leave, and shouted, "What are you still looking at in the sky? Do you really think I can't touch you?"
"It's none of your business? Is the sky your home? You're being so nosy, can't I look?" Nishimiya Momo, who was twenty meters above the ground, glanced at him and then left directly.
Sensing that there was no one around, Yuuki also closed his Sharingan at this moment, sighed a turbid breath, and sat down on the ground with a thud.
This battle was really too tiring, and they seemed to be targeting him on purpose.
The first forest encirclement was accidental, but the second time being singled out by three people didn't make sense, shouldn't they have gone to catch Okkotsu Yuta?
He was someone who could temporarily fight Todo to a standstill, were these three people's brains short-circuited? Coming to deal with him.
The only conclusion that could be drawn was that someone in the Kyoto higher-ups was eyeing his strength.
But even if he could draw this conclusion at this moment, he couldn't do anything, he was still too weak.
"Master, help!"
In his mind, Shura's voice came.
Yuuki frowned, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's someone very tall..."
"Hey! Shura! What's wrong? Answer me quickly!"
Yuuki got up immediately, and could sense that Shura had fallen into a coma at this moment.
And the only conclusion that could be drawn at this time was that Okkotsu Yuta and Hoshi Kirara-senpai had met Todo Aoi!
But... he didn't have enough cursed energy to fight Todo anymore at this moment, he could only wait for the cursed energy in his body to recover...
"Hahaha, you guys are pretty good! What's your names?"
Todo Aoi knocked out the Tibetan Mastiff that had pounced on him and threw it to the side, looking at the two people from Tokyo School in front of him.
Although the profiles of everyone from Tokyo School had been sent from above, his mind was only on his best friend, and he hadn't looked at the other three at all.
"Okkotsu Yuta."
Okkotsu Yuta gripped the long sword tightly with both hands, his eyes changing from his previous timid look, and injected Rika's cursed energy into the blade, staring intently at Todo Aoi.
He had always been hiding behind everyone before, and he didn't want to keep doing this, hiding behind everyone.
Rika's power should be used to protect others!
I... am strong!
"Hoshi Kirara."
Hoshi Kirara, who had touched Todo Aoi, also unfolded his technique 『Interstellar Flight』. He glanced at the unconscious Shura, and the anger in his heart was inevitable.
He said to Okkotsu Yuta, "Yuta-kun, you can go all out, don't worry about anything else, just trust me."
"Yes!"
"Very good, I'm Todo Aoi! Let's go together!"
Todo Aoi looked at Okkotsu Yuta, who was charging over, and his originally excited expression turned serious.
There was a phantom of a cursed spirit behind him, was he someone who had been cursed by a vengeful spirit?
Interesting!
"Defeat him! Yuta...!" Rika Orimoto's voice echoed in Okkotsu Yuta's ears.
"Yeah, I'll defeat him. Lend me your power, Rika."
Okkotsu Yuta responded lightly and charged directly. Having been trained by Maki and Yuuki for a long time, his close combat abilities were naturally not weak.
Although he couldn't use techniques, Gojo-sensei had said that he was Rika's vessel, and would inherit Rika's techniques in the future.
With the belief that he would defeat him, Okkotsu Yuta unleashed a clean and swift slash.
Todo Aoi dodged easily, and just as he was about to attack, he suddenly felt like something was repelling him, and the fist he threw couldn't get close!
What was this!
While still surprised, that repulsive feeling dissipated in an instant. Okkotsu Yuta unleashed a second slash!
"Swoosh—" The blade flashed, and blood splattered.
Todo Aoi quickly retreated, touched his cheek with his right hand and looked at the bloodstains on it, his eyes revealing a serious expression.
It was too strange, that punch he threw couldn't get close at all, as if space was infinitely stacked, and he could never reach it.
"Slap!" White light lit up on the foreheads of everyone on the field.
While confused, Todo saw a string of English letters 『Imai』 appear on his arm at some point, like a mark.
When he looked up at Okkotsu Yuta, he found that he also had a similar mark on the back of his hand, but the English letters were 『Mimosa』.
One meant 『Imai』, and the other meant 『Mimosa』.
Obviously, there was no connection between the two when translated, they were just acting as marks for the technique to unfold.
"Slap!"
Todo only thought for 0.1 seconds before making a decision in an instant, clapping his hands, and decisively used 『Boogie Woogie』 to switch positions with Okkotsu, to attack Hoshi Kirara.
Okkotsu Yuta, who didn't understand what was happening, was suddenly switched positions, and watched Todo Aoi attack Hoshi Kirara in his previous position, shouting, "Senpai, be careful!"
Hoshi Kirara only glanced at Todo Aoi, who was attacking, seemingly not taking him seriously.
Sure enough, the fist couldn't get close after being swung halfway.
No matter how much strength Todo Aoi used, he didn't move forward even a bit, as if it was a real place that he could never reach.
Just as Todo was wondering what this technique was all about, Okkotsu Yuta had already swung his sword from behind, but the end result was the same as Todo, he could never get close.
"Huh? What's going on?" This time it was Yuta's turn to be confused, he had clearly landed a hit with his sword just now, but he couldn't get close at this moment?
The three were in a stalemate at this moment, Todo Aoi couldn't get close to Hoshi Kirara, and Okkotsu Yuta couldn't get close to Todo Aoi.
But Todo Aoi, who prided himself on having an IQ of 530,000, had roughly understood the principle of this technique at this moment, the user wasn't Okkotsu Yuta, but this Hoshi Kirara.
