The brave Simmel wants to resign

Towards the Five Insights.

The white-haired boy, who was usually unruly, was now forced to retreat and avoid eye contact by this simple action.

“I’m going to stop him, but I also know that you won’t let me pass.”

"...Would you kill Jay?"

"No, but, well, if Jay is about to do something irreversible, I will do everything in my power to stop him, and if necessary in the process—"

Simmel nodded.

"I will take action."

Simmel is a hero.

They clearly knew this.

I......

"........"

Standing at the classroom door, after receiving Simmel's answer, Gojo Satoru remained silent for a long time before making his decision.

Swah——

He closed the door behind him.

At this moment, only Gojo Satoru and Simmel were in the classroom, with the former standing in front of the door, his arm slightly raised.

"Feel sorry."

"I can't let you pass."

"Ah."

Simmel smiled, her smile growing even brighter.

"This was expected."

Chapter 44 [Right Position: Mage]

Wu Tiao knew that Simmel was a very reliable person.

However, he also knew about Xia Youjie's unusual state at the moment.

At this moment, after realizing that his long-held beliefs were contradictory and fragile, Xia Youjie was filled with a strong urge to self-destruct.

It was precisely because Gojo Satoru realized this that his attitude was so ambiguous. In addition, with the presence of the Kaba sisters, they were ultimately unable to stop Natsuyuu. The two of them just had a big fight and then let him leave.

Gojo Satoru watched helplessly as his best friend left.

If he fails to complete Xia You's 'self-destruction,' then he will eventually find his next target.

In this world of sorcery, the only beings capable of bringing destruction to a top-tier sorcerer are those of the same rank.

That is to say...

"Give me some time, and then... I'll bring him back."

“You know yourself that this is impossible, don’t you?” Simmel shook her head slightly. “This is not a problem that time can solve.”

Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth, but still refused to back down.

That's right.

Although Gojo Satoru is kind and possesses fighting power that surpasses that of human nations, he did not become someone who shouts "I don't eat beef" and then acts recklessly.

However, this does not mean that Gojo Satoru has no right or desire to be willful.

for him.

Even if Xia Youjie killed someone.

He wouldn't let anyone kill his friend either.

This is the first time in Gojo Satoru's eighteen years of life that he has acted so recklessly.

"I see."

Instead of being annoyed, Simmel chuckled.

"You now are very much like the Xia You I first met."

"I feel lost and hesitant, but more than anything, I feel a pent-up anger that I can't vent. The profession of sorcerer is still too much of a stretch."

As he finished speaking, the shape of a sword gradually materialized in his hand.

"In situations like this, it's probably better to be a bit tougher."

Immediately—

[Noble Phantasm. Unfold]

Behind them, the familiar cross reappeared and began to rotate.

As the power of the spell was activated, the atmosphere between the two sides quickly shifted from calm to tense.

"It's no use! I've heard Jay say that..."

【throat】

Sensing the immense pressure, Gojo Satoru looked at Simmel warily.

"Your [monk] has the ability to remove domains, right?"

"[Absolute resistance to curses], and since sorcery itself is part of the curse, your ability can be effective against all spells and curses."

"However, there is a clear power difference between the two situations where the target is [oneself] and [others], and the [no lower limit] is different."

Gojo tried to persuade Simmel with words.

"The spell is activated on myself, creating the Achilles' paradox in the surrounding space."

"Both of us are casting spells on ourselves, therefore, the [Monk] cannot directly cancel my 'No Limits' attack, making the battle meaningless."

"Who knows?"

The brave warrior remained unfazed, flicking the knife in his hand.

"There's another ability you haven't seen yet."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru became even more vigilant.

Her beautiful eyes gazed ahead, her body slightly hunched.

Theoretically speaking, he should have struck first.

However, he did not want to fight with Simmel.

He knew he was in the wrong.

Natsuyu defected and committed an absolutely unforgivable mistake, so it is only right that he be brought back. However... aside from sympathy and understanding for his close friend, there is another reason why Gojo Satoru cannot arrest Natsuyu.

upset.

Frustrated at not noticing his friend's change, Gojo Satoru hesitated to confront Natsumi Yuuki.

Gojo Satoru rarely admitted his mistake, and therefore dared not look Simmel and the others in the eye.

Give me a little more time.

Let me.....

"Given more time, Gojo, you'll become a mature and reliable adult too."

"It's as if I heard his inner thoughts," Simmel said.

"But unfortunately, we're in a rush right now."

As the surrounding magical vortex spun faster and faster, it eventually swept through the entire teaching building like a storm, lifting the desks and podium in the classrooms into the air and making them fly wildly.

The cross turned for the third time.

【throat】

A heavy hum.

[Right Position: Mage]

A phantom image coalesced behind Simmel.

Her silver-white hair was tied into twin ponytails, her eyes were emerald green, her skin was as white as snow, and her figure was slender.

He wore a white and gold-trimmed mage robe, adorned with a short cape decorated with gold and rubies.

Upon seeing the phantom of the mage, Gojo Satoru felt an unusual sense of unease spread throughout his body for some reason.

That was a sense of dread he had never felt since he learned the fully automatic, limitless technique.

"!"

Simmel's fighting pace remained as fast as ever; the moment the afterimage appeared, he had already raised the blade in his hand.

Gojo Satoru instinctively assumed a defensive stance, maximizing the efficiency of his six eyes' observation, intending to deal with the attack in front of him with all his might.

however--

A flash of white light.

Before he could react, Gojo Satoru's eyes rolled back.

fell to the ground.

"You might be able to analyze magic instantly, but if it's magic that's benevolent from the start, you won't be able to resist it."

"Because of the accumulated workload, even this kind of auxiliary magic will be defeated in one blow."

“You’ve overworked yourself, five times.”

Only after moving Gojo Satoru to a seat and letting him rest his head on his arm did Simmel look at him with the eyes of someone looking at a junior.
