### Chapter 21: Ryota vs. The Curse User Group Q
"It must have been hard for you to bring so many people just to die."
Ryota opened his Sharingan, the three tomoe exceptionally conspicuous within.
He walked unhurriedly towards Bayer and the others outside the apartment.
"Damn brat, this is the only time you can talk big!"
A tall man standing beside Bayer, a key operative of Q with strong abilities.
He idolized Bayer, the strongest fighter in the organization, and couldn't tolerate anyone disrespecting Mr. Bayer.
Roaring directly, he summoned a Shikigami twice the height of a person with a bull's head.
"Moo!"
The Bull-Headed Shikigami had knotted muscles all over its body, standing on two feet like a human, holding a large battle axe in both hands.
Sharp cold light flashed on the battle axe. The Shikigami let out a rough roar, swinging the axe down towards Ryota's head.
The weight of the heavy axe, combined with the Shikigami's massive and ferocious strength, whipped up a turbulent gale.
The wind pressure blew Ryota's hair back against his forehead.
Behind him, Kuroi Misato subconsciously shielded Amanai Riko, crossing her arms in front of her, using all her strength to barely ensure she and Amanai Riko weren't blown away.
Not far away, a group of Q combat members watched this scene with excitement.
This operative ranked third in strength within the organization!
Especially after summoning this powerful Shikigami, even the strongest Mr. Bayer wouldn't dare to take a full-force axe strike head-on.
This guy is dead for sure!
"The Star Plasma Vessel is behind you. If you dodge the heavy bull axe, the Star Plasma Vessel will die!"
"Brat, you have no choice but to take this hit!"
"Pay the price for disrespecting Mr. Bayer!"
The tall man laughed loudly.
"Heh—"
Just as those Curse Users expected Ryota to be split in two by the axe.
Ryota suddenly sneered.
*Clap!*
That huge, heavy, and sharp axe stopped abruptly in mid-air just a moment before touching Ryota's head.
Wind pressure from the force collision rippled out from the center.
"How is this possible?!"
The tall man's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Those Curse Users not far away, and even the few operatives in front of the apartment, as well as Bayer, the strongest in the organization, all had expressions of disbelief.
Catching the axe, which weighed a ton, with one hand, Ryota's lips curled up in disdain.
"Did you think I would dodge? Based on power as weak as a fly's?"
The Bull-Headed Shikigami continued to apply force to the axe, veins bulging on its arms, sweat starting to bead on its head.
But it was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree; it couldn't make that palm waver in the slightest.
Under the shocked gazes of the tall man and the other Curse Users, Ryota's right hand blocking the Shikigami's axe exerted slight force.
*Crack!*
A crack appeared on the large battle axe where Ryota's hand touched it, then rapidly spread across the entire axe body.
In less than a second, the entire indestructible battle axe shattered with a boom.
Ryota took a fragment from his palm and flicked it casually.
The fragment easily pierced through the Bull-Headed Shikigami's body, but didn't stop there, bringing a splash of crimson from the head of the tall Curse User behind it.
Two bodies fell one after another.
The Bull-Headed Shikigami dissipated directly. The tall man lying face down on the ground still had a shocked expression on his face, while blood gurgled out from beneath it.
"Simon!"
Kokun hurriedly looked at Simon, but the latter showed no signs of life.
His expression instantly turned ugly.
Not far away, the non-operative combat member Curse Users fell into a dead silence.
Obviously, they hadn't expected Simon, the third strongest in the organization, to be insta-killed by Ryota like this.
"So, so strong..."
Located only a few meters behind Ryota, Kuroi Misato had a dazed expression, massive waves surging in her heart.
Previously, after just one look from Ryota, Vayer and Kokun had killed each other, so she only sensed the mystery of Ryota's means.
But she didn't know Ryota's specific strength.
Witnessing Ryota's visually impactful power so intuitively at such a close distance now, Kuroi Misato was almost too stunned to speak.
"Damn brat, strong as a monster!"
Bayer's eyes twitched a few times.
From the wounds on Vayer and Kokun earlier, he had vaguely guessed the opponent's strength would be formidable.
To ensure the killing of the Star Plasma Vessel this time, and also to avenge his brother, Bayer brought all the combat personnel.
But he hadn't expected Ryota's strength to be even stronger than imagined.
However, it wasn't to the extent that they couldn't deal with him!
Present here were all the combat members of the Curse User group [Q]!
Dozens of sharp blades attached with Cursed Energy techniques appeared around Bayer, several times more than his brother's.
"Oh?"
Seeing the familiar move, Ryota realized the brother Bayer mentioned was that short, fat guy who wet his pants in fear within the Genjutsu.
After all, he had no interest in remembering the names of small fry.
"He's only one person!"
"All members, attack together!"
Following Bayer's command, although the others were somewhat shocked by Ryota's power, they didn't hesitate and charged towards Ryota together.
No matter how strong Ryota was, with Mr. Bayer here, and with powerful operatives.
With overwhelming numerical superiority, they couldn't possibly lose!
"Stay further back."
Ryota said to Amanai Riko and Kuroi Misato behind him without turning his head.
Then, walking towards the dozens of Curse Users, he spread his arms slightly, his expression cheerful.
"For the pre-meal entertainment, let me stretch my body a bit."
...
In a black sedan.
Iori Utahime and Mei Mei sat in the back row, while a female Assistant Director drove in the front.
"That guy is just too mysterious."
Utahime watched the roadside scenery flashing by outside and said.
"Indeed..."
The slender and mature Mei Mei rested her elbow on the window frame, the back of her hand lightly touching her cheek.
"I checked the information, but found no records of those terms he mentioned."
"Even Yaga-sensei hasn't heard of them."
Utahime added.
His body contained not a shred of Cursed Energy, and he used an unknown power other than Cursed Energy, plus those strange eyes...
It was as if someone from a different world had transmigrated into this world out of thin air.
After parting with Ryota and returning to Jujutsu High, Utahime asked others.
The conclusion she got was that no one knew.
When Yaga Masamichi asked where she had seen him, Utahime, for some unknown psychological reason, didn't mention Ryota's existence.
"Are Mei-san and Iori-san talking about a Jujutsu Sorcerer?"
The female Assistant Director driving in front asked curiously.
"Not a Jujutsu Sorcerer."
Mei Mei smiled.
"Eh? An ordinary person?"
"Who knows~"
