Chapter 113: The Return of Fushiguro Megumi
The next day.
Fushiguro Megumi, who had been away in Hiroshima capturing shikigami, returned to school, exclaiming excitedly, "This time, I will definitely win."
As soon as he entered the school, he noticed something was off. The place looked as if it had gone through a major battle. There were cracks in the walls, and a massive amount of cursed energy residue was gathered here.
(PS: Cursed energy residue refers to the black smoke left after using a technique.)
"What happened?"
He had only taken two steps when he saw Gojo Satoru approaching. He asked, "Gojo-sensei, what happened at Jujutsu High during the month I was away? Why is there such a huge amount of cursed energy residue?"
"A battle between Special Grades," Gojo Satoru said, looking at the cursed energy residue before him. "It was so rare that I wanted to see how long it would take to dissipate on its own. Half a month has already passed, and there's still this much left."
"Half a month..." Fushiguro Megumi swallowed hard and asked, "Gojo-sensei, did you fight with someone?"
After all, as far as he knew, Gojo Satoru was the only Special Grade at the school.
"It wasn't me. Megumi, since you're back, stay at school for a while longer. Don't run off the next day just because you were defeated by Tatsuro." Gojo Satoru patted Fushiguro Megumi's head and then left directly, saying:
"I still have things to do, bye-bye!"
"Oh, okay. Goodbye, Gojo-sensei."
Fushiguro Megumi looked at the cursed energy residue on the ground, assumed it was caused by some upperclassman, and paid it no more mind.
After all, today, he had a premonition that he could definitely turn the tables!
On the training ground.
Tatsuro, now able to exercise normally, was doing rehabilitation exercises on the track. After all, lying in bed motionless for half a month would really kill a person.
He just didn't know who had been taking care of him. When he asked Shura, it wouldn't say. When he asked Lady Katsuyu, she wouldn't say either. And when he asked Maki and the others, their lips were sealed tight. It made him think he had actually become an immortal, going without food and water for half a month with no ill effects.
Have I reached the realm of a Bigu cultivator? At this rate, it won't be long before I can undergo heavenly tribulation by lightning and ascend to immortality...
Just kidding, he still had to eat. It was just that the problem of his declining eyesight couldn't seem to be solved by 'Reverse Cursed Technique.' He could, however, consider plucking his eyes out directly when they went blind and then growing new ones with 'Reverse Cursed Technique.'
He just didn't know if they would be Mangekyo, or if he'd have to start evolving from scratch. Also, that three-section staff that had easily broken through his 'Susanoo's' defense, the special grade cursed tool 'Playful Cloud,' had been taken by Maki.
According to Maki, its effect seemed to be related to the user's arm strength; the greater the force of the swing, the stronger the destructive power, even doubling it.
Truly vexing.
"Brother Tatsuro."
Tatsuro heard the voice and knew Fushiguro Megumi was back. He slowly stopped his jogging pace, waved at Fushiguro Megumi, and said, "You're back, Megumi."
Maki, Okkotsu, and Toge, who were currently running, saw Fushiguro Megumi, who had been away for over a month, return. They waved and shouted, "Good morning, Megumi!"
"Megumi's back?" Panda turned to look and said, "Is he going to challenge Tatsuro again?"
"Hmph hmph hmph! That's right. This time I have a premonition, victory will surely be mine!"
Panda interjected, "Don't fight for the next few days, Megumi. Tatsuro was in a coma for half a month and just woke up yesterday. His body is already sluggish."
"It's fine, Panda. I need some intense exercise anyway." Tatsuro rolled his neck. To be honest, after being in a coma for half a month, his body really couldn't keep up; his legs were already starting to ache after just a few laps.
"A coma for half a month? Did something happen?" Fushiguro Megumi was somewhat confused. What on earth had happened during the month he was away?
"It's nothing, just got a beating."
After a simple stretch, Tatsuro moved to the center of the training ground and said to Fushiguro Megumi, "After we fight today, don't go running off with your tail between your legs tomorrow, okay?"
"Hmph, don't underestimate me. I've made great progress this past month," Fushiguro Megumi said in a tsundere tone.
"Place your bets, place your bets!" Panda yelled. "Bet next month's meal expenses on how many seconds Megumi can last. I bet 50 seconds."
Zenin Maki: "I'll take 60."
Inumaki Toge: "I'll take 55."
Okkotsu Yuta: "Then I'll go with 65."
The group's discussion made Fushiguro Megumi's face darken. Although he was caught off guard by that so-called 'Sage Mode' last time, today, Tatsuro's face had no sage markings.
This meant he hadn't entered 'Sage Mode,' so at least he was halfway safe. As long as he watched out for his fire, this battle was his to win!
"Begin!"
With a command from the referee, Panda.
"First, I must pay attention to his every move!"
Fushiguro Megumi formed a hand seal and said, "Come out, 'Nue.' Observe his every move!"
A giant owl with red feathers emerged from the shadow behind Fushiguro Megumi. After letting out a cry, it quickly flew into the sky, its yellow pupils fixed intently on Tatsuro standing on the ground.
"Come out, 'Toads'!"
Seeing it was safe for now, Fushiguro Megumi didn't dally and continued to summon other shikigami. Two green frogs with white wings jumped out from his shadow, flapping their wings and flying in the sky.
Fushiguro Megumi didn't want to summon his other shikigami at this moment. After all, in front of Tatsuro, more would just be a matter of one fire; there was no need to waste extra cursed energy.
His 'Divine Dogs' were now scared of Tatsuro; he was quite helpless about this. He then took out the cursed tool from his backpack – a long sword.
"Go!"
Fushiguro Megumi took a step forward, the ground cracking beneath him. The long sword in his hand flashed with white light, and the two 'Toads' followed closely behind.
'Nue' in the sky let out a cry, its body also crackling with lightning. A lightning strike was unleashed,劈ing down towards Tatsuro on the ground.
"When did this owl learn to use cursed techniques? And lightning, at that."
Tatsuro glanced at it and deftly avoided Fushiguro Megumi's and 'Nue's' attacks.
Fushiguro Megumi, seeing Tatsuro dodge, formed a hand seal, and the shadow on the ground formed a large snake. He said, "Grab him, Toads."
The two flying frogs shot out their tongues, binding Tatsuro's legs in mid-air.
"Come out, 'Great Serpent'!"
With that, a giant white python with yellow pupils and a head one meter wide burst out from under Tatsuro's feet out of nowhere. It opened its cavernous mouth and bit down directly, carrying him hundreds of meters into the sky before throwing him down.
'Nue,' emanating lightning, charged towards the powerless Tatsuro in the sky. The coordination was so slick it was as if they had rehearsed it beforehand.
"Not bad."
Tatsuro looked at the charging 'Nue,' just about to form hand seals. The two frogs, which had appeared beside him at some unknown point, instantly shot out their tongues, trapping his hands and leaving him suspended in the air.
Fushiguro Megumi on the ground said, "This is a tactic I've researched for a long time. There's no way you can dodge this blow. I win!"
"..."
Tatsuro looked at the attacking 'Nue' and said, "Shoot it down, Shura."
In the forest.
Shura, having climbed to the top of a tree, quickly locked onto 'Nue,' several kilometers away, thanks to Sage Mode. Sage energy condensed in its mouth, forming a fist-sized cursed energy ball, which it then held in its mouth.
"Voom—!"
"Swoosh—!"
A golden beam of light flashed out from the forest, instantly striking 'Nue' from several kilometers away.
