Chapter 118: Kurosaki Mafuyu's Cursed Technique.
"My name is Kurosaki Mafuyu, a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Today is my first time going on a mission with senior Tatsuro. I feel a bit excited!"
Kurosaki Mafuyu looked at herself in the mirror. After feeling that she was in good condition, she happily went out the door.
Just as she stepped out, she saw Tatsuro running on the training ground below and shouted, "Good morning! Senior Tatsuro!"
"..."
Tatsuro glanced at the lively Kurosaki Mafuyu and waved back at her. To be honest, he couldn't handle someone this lively; it felt very strange. After all, he wasn't a big celebrity; being shouted at loudly by people was really strange.
Maki and the others were currently out on missions and not at the school. Lady Katsuyu and Shura were in the forest.
Kurosaki Mafuyu, having run downstairs, said, "I'm ready. Let's go on the mission together, senior Tatsuro."
"Mm, wait for me to change my clothes."
Tatsuro glanced at Kurosaki Mafuyu, who looked like she was going on a trip, and frowned slightly. But he didn't say anything; after all, she was a first-year.
I'll just let her exorcise the cursed spirit alone later. It'll be a good chance to see what her cursed technique is. As for Megumi's side, it won't be too late to go over tonight.
He went back to his room, took a shower, changed into his uniform, picked up his cursed tool, and then left, saying to Kurosaki Mafuyu, "Let's go."
"Mm."
...
"Satoru, are you sure it's okay to entrust this matter to Tatsuro?"
In the principal's office, Masamichi Yaga, standing by the window, looked at Gojo Satoru sitting on the sofa.
"It's fine, it's fine. It's to expand his abilities. Besides, it's only one finger; it's no big deal."
Gojo Satoru at this moment was no different from before, except that he had swapped his white bandages for a black blindfold.
"..."
Seeing Gojo Satoru like this, Yaga couldn't be bothered with him anymore. There was still one more new first-year student who had yet to report.
...
9:15 AM.
In front of a derelict building.
Tatsuro sat on a chair and said, "Why don't you exorcise the cursed spirits in this building first? If you need a cursed tool, you can borrow this one."
"I... I've never exorcised a cursed spirit before."
Kurosaki Mafuyu said with some hesitation, "I can only see them, but I don't know how to exorcise them."
"...Do you know how to use cursed energy?"
Tatsuro directly activated his Sharingan to check the flow of cursed energy in Kurosaki Mafuyu's body. The cursed energy in her body wasn't immense, about the amount of a normal third-grade sorcerer, but it was basically all gathered in her abdomen.
Looks like she's a true novice. I thought she would know some simple technique manipulation, but it turns out even cursed energy control is difficult for her. What to do now? Drag her back and let the principal give her a beating?
That was how he had learned to control cursed energy back then. It was only around nine o'clock now; it wasn't too late to take her back.
"It was my miscalculation. Let's head back first," Tatsuro said, standing up.
"Eh!?"
Kurosaki Mafuyu asked in confusion, "We just got here, why are we going back?"
"To get beaten."
"Eh! Why!? Did I do something wrong?"
"Principal Yaga will make you quickly master the cursed energy in your body. It just requires a beating. But it's no major injury; you'll be fine after lying in bed for a few days," Tatsuro explained.
"..."
Kurosaki Mafuyu asked with some hesitation, "Does he... hit the face? If he doesn't hit the face, I can try."
"...He probably does."
Tatsuro thought for a moment and said, "It's fine, I know 'Reverse Cursed Technique.' Even if you're beaten black and blue, I can help you recover completely. Don't worry."
"No! I'm not going!" Kurosaki Mafuyu grabbed Tatsuro's sleeve and quickly said, "I choose to exorcise the cursed spirits here! Don't make me go over there!"
She screamed internally, "This principal is too terrifying, completely without a shred of human kindness!"
"Then good luck."
Tatsuro handed the backpack over and said, "Try infusing cursed energy into the sword; then you can exorcise the cursed spirit."
"..."
Kurosaki Mafuyu looked at the black backpack in her hands and the heavy feeling within it. She swallowed hard, bent down, and said, "I will complete the mission given to me by my senior."
"Good. Good luck."
Tatsuro sat back down in his chair, watching his junior slowly walk into the derelict building. His crimson pupils stared intently at everything inside. At this moment, he was just doing what a senior should do.
Protect his juniors, and then let them grow. After all, jujutsu sorcerers die easily. Seedlings not only need care but also need to experience wind and rain.
...
Da, da, da...
Kurosaki Mafuyu, holding the long sword, was warily looking around. It was her first time actively exorcising a cursed spirit; it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.
Standing by her senior's side always gave her a sense of security. And he always wore a confident smile. My senior has placed such high hopes on me to exorcise the cursed spirit. I absolutely cannot let him down!
Just as she reached the third floor, she sensed the aura of a curse nearby. Kurosaki Mafuyu held her breath and slowly peeked her head out to look.
The moment she peeked, a grotesque cursed spirit with six eyes and three mouths on its face was currently looking right at her. Their faces were only ten centimeters apart, separated by the thickness of a wall.
"Hel... lo..."
The cursed spirit spoke and opened the large mouth on its body, preparing to swallow the intruding girl whole.
"Eek!?"
Startled, Kurosaki Mafuyu subconsciously swung the sword in her hand, but her strength was too little; it only broke the skin...
"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!"
Tatsuro, who was sitting on his chair drinking water, spat it out. This sword of his could cut through special grade cursed tools with fierce efficiency. And now it couldn't even cut a third-grade cursed spirit?
Next time, I'd better not follow Gojo-sensei's example and supervise students. It'll save me from getting a brain hemorrhage...
"It didn't cut?!"
Kurosaki Mafuyu was astonished.
But this minor skin injury further enraged the cursed spirit. The mouths on its body opened completely, sharp teeth grew from the fleshy walls, and its tongue instantly ensnared the panicked Kurosaki Mafuyu, pulling her towards its maw.
"No! Senior, save me!"
Kurosaki Mafuyu looked at the rows of sharp teeth in the cursed spirit's mouth and then fainted from fear.
"Tsk, such a fragile mentality. How did Principal Yaga let her join?" Just as Tatsuro tutted and prepared to make a move...
A sudden change occurred.
The unconscious Kurosaki Mafuyu slowly raised her right hand. As her eyes opened, her originally black pupils had turned golden.
She lightly touched the cursed spirit's head and muttered softly, "3, 2, 1."
"Jee-jee-jee...!"
As the countdown ended, the cursed spirit's head began to tremble. It kept repeating a single phrase, as if its brain had crashed. Its eyeballs bulged, the whites shot through with blood.
Kurosaki Mafuyu retracted her right hand. A star-shaped mark had appeared on the cursed spirit's head, which then immediately burst open.
A red, bloody mist instantly filled the entire corridor, then dissipated into ash.
Kurosaki Mafuyu picked up the long sword that had fallen to the ground and said, "My little sister is so weak. Looks like she'll be unconscious for a while again. Now then, let me have some fun."
