But just as her right hand gripped the cursed tool, she stopped that foolish idea, and there was no way that she could win against this guy, and after all, she had been spying on his battle with that cursed spirit the entire time, and they weren't on the same level, and she had raised her hands, which had been behind her back, again.
"You're quite sensible."
Kazuki Hanyu didn't have the desire to attack after seeing that the girl had given up that unrealistic idea, and it was because he felt that fighting with a woman would have been degrading, and this guy wasn't strong at all;
He walked forward and said, "You should hurry up and say it, and where is Sukuna? Don't cause me to give birth to the idea of hitting a woman."
"Ehehe, since you've already said that, then how about you pretend that you haven't seen me?" Kugisaki Nobara, who had started to shift the topic, had put her two hands together and had said with an apologetic expression:
"Actually, I'm not too clear about what you're talking about, and I'm just a normal middle school student, and I'm not that interested in those fighting things, and I'm also not very familiar with the people you're talking about, and of course, I'll definitely tell you after I get to know them..."
"Do you think that I'm very easy to fool?!"
The veins on Kazuki Hanyu's forehead had been bulging after seeing the girl, who had started to kick the ball around, and silver-white electric currents had been interweaving on his body's surface, and it had been an expression, which had meant that he would kill her if she didn't speak.
"I truly..."
Kugisaki Nobara hadn't finished speaking before the lightning, which had been tearing through the air, had flashed past her cheeks, and a big hole had been blown open in the wall behind her, and her brown pupils had shrunk slightly, and it seemed that she had gotten one step closer to death...
Kazuki Hanyu said with a serious expression, "I'll give you one opportunity to reorganize your words, or I'll kill you."
"..."
Kugisaki Nobara knew that she would only be walking down a dead end if she kept pretending to be confused at this moment while looking at Kazuki Hanyu's expression, which hadn't seemed to be joking, and the difference in strength between them had been vast, and she… would die...
The breeze of the night had been swaying her long hair, and the corners of her mouth had still had a visible smile while facing that choice of life and death, and she said, "I'm sorry... I truly don't know that Sukuna you're talking about."
"Then die."
Kazuki Hanyu had praised her loyalty in his heart while looking at the girl's clear pupils.
But this wasn't a reason for him to be softhearted, and the long staff, which had been mixed with lightning, had been bombarding towards her head, and even a Special Grade cursed spirit would die violently from this strike, let alone a human, whose body was even more fragile than a cursed spirit.
"Nue!!"
Fushiguro Megumi, who had been teleported not far away, had hurried over at a critical moment, and the katana, which had been clenched in his right hand, had been shot out, and the sharp sound of it tearing through the air had been chasing after Kazuki Hanyu.
"Clang!"
The collision between the weapons had produced sparks, and Kazuki Hanyu, who had reacted, had instinctively blocked this ambush, which had been coming from behind, and it could be seen that the girl, who had been waiting to die before him, had been saved by a boy, who had been standing on top of an owl, as a gale had brushed past.
"Are you alright."
Fushiguro Megumi, who had hurried over, had been supporting Kugisaki Nobara with his two hands.
"I'm… I'm fine, and thank you."
Kugisaki Nobara, who had been held in his arms, had blushed instinctively, and she hadn't expected that she would run into danger first after just entering this Culling Game;
She turned her head to look at the man, who had been standing on the ground and had been staring intently at them, and she said to Fushiguro Megumi, "That guy is a sorcerer from four hundred years ago, and it seems that he's hunting Ryomen Sukuna, and we have to hurry up and find Itadori."
"Hunting Itadori, huh..."
Fushiguro Megumi's expression had become grave after hearing Kugisaki's words, and he had put her on the hawk's back and had said, "Since that's the case, then we can't let him live, and I'll go and deal with him alone, and Nue will take you to find Itadori."
"Huh?! What are you going for!!"
Kugisaki Nobara had grabbed his clothes and had shouted loudly while looking at Fushiguro Megumi, who had been preparing to jump down, "He's not even on the same level as us, and that guy's technique is difficult to see with the naked eye, so you shouldn't go down and cause trouble, Fushiguro, and cause me to worry."
"Ugh, ugh ugh ugh!"
Fushiguro Megumi, whose neck had been strangled by the collar of his clothes, had been struggling painfully in the air, and he had knelt on Nue's back and had been breathing in the fresh air deeply after being pulled up by Kugisaki Nobara, and he said incoherently in his mouth, "Cough cough cough, and I was almost killed..."
"Hehe, I'm sorry..."
Kugisaki Nobara had revealed an apologetic expression while looking at Fushiguro Megumi, who had almost been one-shotted by her, but she had at least succeeded in stopping his desire to go down and self-destruct, and the next thing to do was to go and find Yuuji Itadori.
"Tch, and I truly hate these guys, who can fly."
Kazuki Hanyu had curled his lips while looking at the two guys, who had been controlling their shikigami to leave, and he had finally run into a guy, who knew Sukuna, but he had let them run away, but... the Culling Game Barrier was only this big, and you couldn't leave once you had come inside, so he would always be able to run into them in the future, and the corners of his mouth had been raised with a smile, and he said, "This is truly getting more and more interesting."
At this moment, Yuuji Itadori, who had heard the aftershock of the explosion, had also just arrived at the battlefield and had seen Kazuki Hanyu, who had been standing on the ruins.
"So the battle has already ended, huh."
Yuuji Itadori had been staring intently at the ruins around him, and he had been looking at the man, who had been standing on the ruins, and white lightning could be seen to have been appearing around him at this moment, and his hair, which had been tied up, had seemed to be rabbit ears, and he had also recognized that this was the strongest person inside this Barrier, Kazuki Hanyu, whose score had exceeded a hundred.
Yuuji Itadori had been standing in his original location, and the two's lines of sight had been interweaving together.
Kazuki Hanyu, who had seen a new prey, had raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, and he had said while swinging the long staff in his hand, "You… do you know Sukuna?"
"I know him, but you have to defeat me, and I'll tell you, and conversely, if I win, then I'll take all of your points to add a rule to this Culling Game."
Yuuji Itadori had struck an attacking stance, and he was destined to be the first person to obtain those hundred points tonight.
Although he didn't know why the guy before him had been looking for Sukuna, this didn't cause any conflicts with his own goal, and he only had one goal after entering this Culling Game;
And that was to save people, to go and save more people, and then offset his own sins, and he had to take these hundred points...
"Whatever you want, and I'll beat the sh*t out of you."
Kazuki Hanyu had also tossed the cursed tool in his hand out and had stuck it on the ground after seeing that Yuuji Itadori didn't have any cursed tools in his hand, and he had clenched his two hands into fists, and he had wanted to defeat the guy before him fair and square.
The two had looked at each other, and they had then disappeared from their original locations in the next second, and cracks could be seen to have been spreading on the rocks, which had been used to gain momentum, and the two, who had been clenching their fists at the same time, had collided together, and a gale had scattered in all directions.
"Boom!!!"
Kazuki Hanyu, who had lost in the competition of strength, had been flying backward at this moment, and surprise could be seen on his expression, and this guy's strength... and the fist technique, which he had deployed and could cause a two-stage impact;
Had all caused Kazuki Hanyu to give birth to curiosity, and it was because... he had been slightly better at this moment!!!
"That was numb..."
Yuuji Itadori had shaken his hand, and he had clearly used cursed energy to isolate that layer of electric current, which had been protruding on his body, but he had still felt numb, and it would truly be troublesome to defeat him.
"Hey! You should tell me your name."
Kazuki Hanyu had shaken his somewhat painful right hand, and excitement could be seen on his handsome face, and he hadn't expected that there would actually be such an interesting guy in this Culling Game.
"Yuuji Itadori."
Yuuji Itadori had clenched his right hand violently, and the weak electric current, which had been attached onto it, had dissipated in an instant, and he could basically disregard this level of tingling sensation with his body's strength.
"I'm Kazuki Hanyu, and I hope that you won't disappoint me too much."
Kazuki Hanyu had struck an attacking stance again, and the cursed energy, which had been appearing on his body's surface, had been like interweaving electric currents, and they had been clinging to each other.
"Tzz, crackle——"
The sound of the electric currents interweaving had echoed, and Yuuji Itadori had struck the aikido stance, which he had learned during middle school, "I've always been very serious, and after all, those hundred points of yours are very important to me."
"Is that so, then I'll give them all to you if you win as agreed!!"
Kazuki Hanyu had rarely been this excited, and it wasn't that the brat before his eyes had been exceptionally strong, but rather, he had seen Fate on him, and it was a fate, which had only belonged to the weak...
The person, who had been bearing Fate, would always put all of the heavy burdens on himself and would then go and change it and struggle.
And he... had liked to knead those people, who had been bearing all kinds of inexplicable Fates, the most, and it was because... this was very interesting.
He had been born in an era, where the strong survived and the fit adapted. Although talents had been emerging in large numbers among the sorcerers four hundred years ago, there hadn't been even one person, who could cause him to be satisfied, and he had practiced for most of his life, and he had finally fallen to the point that he had been unable to find a person, who could cause him to deploy his technique, and he had ended his life sloppily, and he had followed Kenjaku before his death.
He longed for the strong people of this era, and he also longed for whether Ryomen Sukuna was truly as strong as he had been a thousand years ago, and for this... he would keep fighting until he died!!!
Leave of Absence
I feel that I've been taking leaves of absence too frequently recently...
But I'll also say a few words, and I'm taking a leave of absence.
This story is about to come to an end, and it will probably be within two hundred thousand words, and I've been writing for a long time, and I feel that I've learned a lot, but I also feel that I haven't learned anything, and this is my starting work, and I feel like an idiot when I look back...
I should go and work hard and try to deploy the world in my mind.
"Thump!"
Their fists had been colliding with each other, and it had been the martial arts clash of the two, who had been separated by four hundred years.
Yuuji Itadori's signature Divergent Fist had been fully deployed at this moment, and the body, which had been paralyzed by the electric currents, couldn't hinder his determination to swing his fist.
Even if he had been hit directly in the face and his consciousness had been blank briefly, he couldn't stop just because of this, and his blood was still flowing, and his heart was still beating, so he wouldn't fall...
He, who had only possessed cursed energy and hadn't possessed a technique, only had close combat, which he was the most skilled at at this moment, and he would win by relying on these two fists and the things that Senior Yuuki had taught him!!!
Every time that Yuuji Itadori had blocked Kazuki Hanyu's fist, his body would be electrified, and that kind of tingling feeling of powerlessness would be born spontaneously, but the fist, which he had swung out while gritting his teeth, had still been this deadly.
"This guy..."
Kazuki Hanyu had blocked with his two hands while looking at the attacking fist, and his powerful strength had also directly sent him flying, and the delayed two-stage impact had even directly broken through the cursed energy defense, which had been protecting the outside of his arm, and had almost blown apart his sturdy hand bones.
On the other hand, the wounds, which he had caused on his body, had seemed to not be that severe at this moment, and it was because his flesh had been too sturdy, and it had seemed that he hadn't been fighting a sorcerer, but rather, he had been fighting a cursed spirit, who had specialized in the flesh...
"Slap!!"
Yuuji Itadori, who had been pressing the attack, had kicked straight at Kazuki Hanyu's face, and his ferocious face could be seen to have bulging veins, and he had kicked him out like he had been kicking a soccer ball!!
"Thump!!!"
A huge pit had been knocked out in the high-rise building dozens of meters away, and Kazuki Hanyu had spat out a mouthful of blood, and he had cursed "monster" in his heart, but the desire to fight, which had been igniting, had been getting higher and higher.
Silver-white electric currents had flashed in the misty dust, and Kazuki Hanyu, who had been healing himself with Reversal Technique, had blown open the cement wall, which had been pressing on his body, and he had walked out from inside slowly and had said to Yuuji Itadori, who had been cleaning the electric charges, which had been attached onto his body, "Not bad, and you've allowed me to get slightly excited."
"Tzz, crackle——"
Yuuji Itadori, whose body had been numb, had clenched his two hands again and had violently inserted them into the ground to guide the electric charges on his body inside, and he said, "You're clearly very happy."
"It's because I'm too happy, that I'm afraid that you'll die too quickly!"
Kazuki Hanyu, who had already finished charging, had gathered all of the electric charges, which had been attached onto his body's surface, to his left hand, and he had released all of that stored electricity towards Yuuji Itadori's head!!!
"Cackle——"
The sound of the electric currents interweaving had been transmitted, and silver-white lightning had been shot out, and the distance of thirty-odd meters had been reached in an instant, and it had been tearing through the atmosphere...
Yuuji Itadori's pupils had shrunk while looking at the attacking electric currents, and he had raised his two hands and had been preparing to forcefully take it, and his right foot had been inserted into the mud.
The electric current had been tearing through the atmosphere, and its speed of spread had almost been a meter every three-hundredth of a second, which also meant that the distance between them had taken less than 0.06 seconds from the moment that it had been released to the moment that it had arrived...
It had been frighteningly fast.
'This guy is dead for sure...'
And Kazuki Hanyu, who had seen that Yuuji Itadori had actually dared to use his hands to block it, had raised the corners of his mouth with a mysterious smile, and no one had dared to forcefully take his lightning, and this guy's hands and head would explode directly!!
