Curse Return: Swordsmith Start

Chapter 81 Battle in Progress

That's why Yue Ren called out to him, saying there was still a chance to save him.

Furthermore, since he lost the real person, Zoro certainly couldn't establish contact with the mechanical pill, and he couldn't leak information that led to the tragic deaths of others.

Because the bond is something that must be established, without a real person, without the bargaining chip, Rosso cannot establish a bond with the mechanical ball.

The reason Yue Ren took the initiative was because this person was one of the people he had personally selected to succeed the higher-ups.

After all, judging from the original work, all the backup plans he made were useful. The only mistake was that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, which was unavoidable.

Once his physical problems are resolved, he will be a standard, intelligent young sorcerer, perfectly suited to form a power structure.

Getting back to the point, seeing the other troublemakers leave, Yue Ren gestured to the two people next to him to continue, so he could continue to enjoy the man's elbow strike moment.

Even towards his closest friends, Todo is the perfect testing ground for Itadori at this moment.

Yue Ren nodded unconsciously. The two of them were indeed very compatible. It was Itadora's good fortune to meet Toudou Aoi, who put pressure on him the most.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten his own mission; he just didn't know if those guys would invade this place again.

Meanwhile, the group from Kyoto, who had just left, encountered Maki and her friends who had arrived.

Kamo Kenji was not surprised by the appearance of the other party. After all, their movements were too suspicious, and anyone with a brain would know that something was wrong. It was not surprising that they were ambushed at this time.

However, everything that followed exceeded his expectations.

Kamo Noriyuki's idea was to send some people to delay the opponent. Since he couldn't kill Itadori now, he should focus on winning the match. The others would hold off the opponent while he looked for an opportunity to kill the cursed spirit. Moreover, only by restraining these guys one by one could he use his backup plan to deal with Itadori Yuujin.

But in reality, the idea of ​​containing the opponent was executed terribly.

The only aerial unit, Nishimiya, was the first to be knocked away by Fukuro's lightning owl shikigami, sending Mechanical Maru and Mai to provide support. However, before he could take more than two steps, he was punched away by a black shadow that suddenly appeared.

The immense force sent several giant trees flying. Even with his magical powers protecting him and the activation of "Crimson Scale Leap," the attack still broke both his arms, leaving him severely injured.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Kamo Noriyuki, covered in blood, struggled to lift his head and saw an unbelievable figure: Zenin Mai's older sister, Zenin Maki, the notoriously useless person with almost no magical power.

She just punched me? Are you kidding me? How can she have such speed and strength? Even Dongtang isn't that terrifying. What's going on with this girl?

Maki didn't care about any of that. Facing this guy who couldn't even stand up, she spoke with dissatisfaction.

"So you're the one in charge, right? I was going to go easy on you, but since you've set your sights on our people and actually did it, you'll have to suffer a bit."

"This punch is for that kid. Remember this: if you dare to cause trouble for our people again, I won't hold back."

'

Such a blow was actually a show of mercy?

The young man from the Kamo family was confused, but the other person's cold gaze made Kamo Noriki realize that what this guy said was absolutely true, and if the other person got serious, he really would die!

What kind of monster is this?

On the other hand, Maki takes this guy's situation for granted.

If she can't one-shot a squishy ranged opponent, she can forget about being the new "Tyrant of Heaven" and should just give up and go to bed.

However, she was somewhat surprised that the third-year students in Kyoto were so weak, not even as good as Yigu.

Moreover, it seems to be from the Kamo family, one of the three great families. It's amazing how easily she was beaten. If she hadn't held back a bit, she felt she could have killed this guy with one punch.

Maki was completely unaware of how androgynous her thoughts were.

But this is not her fault. After all, she usually has Yue Ren and Yi Gu to spar with, and both of them are people who can overpower her, which makes her think that her strength has not improved much. In addition, because of her level, she has never encountered any level one or higher cursed spirits. It is understandable that she would have such a contrast when she did not know that she could hunt special-level cursed spirits.

Having vented her anger, Maki planned to go find Fushiguro. As for Kasumi Miwa standing next to her, she had no intention of bullying her because of her harmless demeanor. Besides, the katana she was carrying was too conspicuous; it was obvious at a glance whose work it was.

However, to her surprise, Miwa Kasumi, who was quite frightened by the punch, called her back as she was about to leave. Her apology for Itadori's actions and her unwillingness to give up made Maki respect this girl who was more like a vase than a sorcerer, and she decided to play with her.

She's from a good family, has a good personality, and hopes to gain recognition through this competition so others can recommend her to level up and earn money to support her family. What a simple and pure wish!

Especially since she's a girl, she's practically a delicate flower, making Maki instantly jealous. How could such a soft and sweet girl be her sister's best friend? It's outrageous!

Maki looked annoyed when she thought of her little fangirl, Kugizaki.

It wasn't that she disliked Kugizaki, but rather that she was annoyed that her younger sister was eating so well.

Meanwhile, the two members of the Mechanical Maru who came to support Nishimiya Momo ran into Panda and Kugizaki. They were already rivals, and given the recent incident involving Itadori, a battle broke out immediately.

What's strange is that Mechanical Maru went straight to Panda, and the two of them arrived at a deserted place in a very short time.

Just as Panda was still wondering if there was some kind of trap, the mechanical ball on the other side couldn't help but speak up.

"Your name is Panda, right?"

"That's right."

Although it was a little puzzled as to why this guy had pulled it out to fight but didn't seem to want to, the panda wasn't impatient. In fact, it was better if it didn't fight. It didn't really like fighting and killing. Although it wasn't afraid, it preferred to sunbathe when it had nothing to do.

"So, Kawasaki Koshito must be your classmate?"

The panda suddenly realized that the cautious tone and the probing behavior revealed that the person was asking for a favor from the Yue people.

Panda immediately felt no surprise, after all, this kind of thing was quite common, and it was often seen on the faces of sorcerers who wanted to obtain magical tools from the Yue people.

It had occasionally encountered them before, and if they were in a good mood, they would even give them directions. Yue people were the most popular type among them.

"Hmm, do you need to see Yue Ren about something?"

"He just told me he could solve my problem, the curse from heaven," is that true?

This is why Mechanical Maru set his sights on the panda. Although he didn't know why Cursed Corpse could talk, since it had intelligence, it must be able to communicate. Mechanical Maru thought it would be easier to communicate with this guy.

The panda stroked its chin. This word... why does it sound so familiar...? That's right, Maki!

So it spoke its mind.

"Ah, yes, after all, he resolved the Heavenly Curse that bound Maki and her sister. Although it wasn't exactly eliminated, it felt even better than that, and Maki became incredibly strong because of it."

Since he is a patient, it is necessary to share some real information. Maki did not say that these things need to be kept secret.

And since it was a Yue person who told him, then they must mean they wanted to help him. This guy just wanted to verify it.

It must be said that pandas are actually quite intelligent, and their emotional intelligence is also very high.

A very reasonable explanation convinced most of the mechanical ball.

The next moment, the mechanical ball in front of him immediately performed a dogeza (a deep bowing gesture).

"So, Mr. Panda, could you tell me what Yueren-kun likes? What would he want as payment for treatment?"

Upon hearing this, the panda's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and it didn't hesitate to put its arm around the guy's shoulder.

"In that case, let me tell you, actually, that guy Yue Ren..."

"Mmm..."

"...I see...Thank you, Panda Brother."

"Don't be so polite, we're all colleagues after all."

And so, the clever and capable mechanical pill was tricked by the panda into having a tumor.

On the other side, the duel between Maki and Miwa Kasumi did not last long. Although Miwa Kasumi possessed the "Sode no Shirayuki" given to her by the Echigo, as a weapon against cursed spirits, it was weakened to almost nothing when used against humans, leaving only its sharpness and the slowing effect of freezing. Furthermore, as the wielder, although Miwa had spent enough time adapting to the weapon, she was ultimately not a genius sorcerer or swordsmanship genius. Having only wielded the Sode no Shirayuki for a few months, she could not undergo a dramatic change in strength in a short period of time like Itadori.

Her opponent, Maki, is a new generation of tyrant, whose physical abilities are at the pinnacle of humanity, whose skills have been honed by the Yue people, and who possesses extremely high resistance to negative curses. The reason she wasn't knocked down with a single punch is simply because Maki saw her serious demeanor and decided to teach her a few moves.

After all, Maki found a bit of herself in the body of this girl with simple wishes and a serious expression.

Sanlun was also completely bewildered by the current situation. Her best friend's older sister was dodging her while pointing out her mistakes and teaching her how to correct them, giving her the illusion that the other party was a teacher.

Not far away, a crow was watching the situation intently from a tree.

Most students wouldn't know that this was the shikigami crow of the first-level sorcerer Mingming, and it was through this method that the teachers in the monitoring room were able to observe the actual situation on the scene through a special screen.

"Hehe... What an amazing child! Isn't her physical ability a bit too exaggerated? Even Toudou-kun isn't this outrageous. Forget about level one, why won't you even promote her to level two?"

As the first person to come into contact with the girl through Raven's vision, Mingming was filled with astonishment. After all, this girl's performance was truly dazzling. She crippled Kamo Kenji, a near-first-level student, with a single punch, and treated Miwa Kasumi like a child's play. When did Tokyo High School produce such an outrageous combat genius, and a woman at that? How could her body possess such power...?

Gojo Satoru's lips curled into an exaggerated expression of helplessness, showing no sign of restraint.

"That's what I think too, but it seems like the Zen family is interfering. Wouldn't it be better to just frankly acknowledge her?"

Gojo Satoru simply couldn't understand the thought process of those old-fashioned guys. They didn't intend to recruit such powerful combat forces, clinging to their outdated and rigid ideas. Even Fushiguro Jinji was like that. They didn't understand that the only unchanging truth in this world is real power.

The world is becoming chaotic, and all the previous rules and regulations will eventually be crushed in the face of the impending trend. Only the truly strong can swim freely in such a vortex. However, these guys despise even the power that is within their grasp, just because they have gone against the so-called path of the sorcerer. They are extremely foolish.

"I don't know about that, since I don't know much about things other than money."

"That girl must be Yue Ren-kun's classmate, right? He's the best at surprising people. By the way, has he released any new works lately?"

"I'm not quite sure. What, Miss Mingming, are you planning to buy magical artifacts from the Yue people? If I remember correctly, didn't he give you a custom weapon?"

"That's true, but who would complain about having too many good things? After all, I care a lot about my life, and Yue Renjun's things really give me a great sense of security. If there are new products, I'd like to know about them. As for buying them, I'll see if they're willing to give me a discount because we're acquaintances."

Gojo Satoru sensed that the other party was implying something.

"Still the same miserly image as always; perhaps only the Yue people could pry money out of you."

"Speaking of which, the footage around Hisahito has been constantly cutting out since just now."

Glancing at the expressionless old principal, Gojo Satoru guessed that the other party must be planning something again.

"Who knows? After all, animals are very free-spirited, and sharing a field of vision can be tiring."

"Really? By the way, Miss Mingming, which side are you planning to support?"

"As I just said, I have a great lack of security, and money is something that can give people a great sense of security, so I'm on the side of money now."

Do the Yue people have money now...?

Gojo Satoru had already figured it out. It seemed that this person was passing on a message to him. Ah, really amazing. He even managed to bribe Mingming. That kid Yueren is really capable.

The hints have been so obvious, how could Gojo Satoru not understand? What Mingming means is that she's currently in a state of receiving money to do something. As for whether things will go wrong, Yueren is right there on the scene, it would be strange if anything went wrong.

The reason for revealing this information to him is probably to guard against certain people on the scene. The other party is already considered one of them, or at least half of them, but in any case, it speaks volumes.
