"Rika!!! I love you the most, the most, the most!!!"

As she spoke, the cursed spirit Yigu opened its mouth wide, and the thick cursed spirit continued to condense under Rika's guidance, the terrifying power even causing the air to distort.

Seeing this, Natsumi Eri's eye twitched:

"You smooth-talking, despicable woman who deceives men's feelings!"

"That's so rude."

Hearing this, Rika wasn't angry. She extended two fingers, condensing her own magical power into the immense magical power of the Cursed Spirit Bone. In an instant, the raging, massive magical power even overwhelmed Natsume's Extreme Vortex. Rika smiled and said:

"Our love is pure..."

In an instant, the violent curse power could no longer be suppressed and rushed towards Xia You with the momentum of devouring everything. Xia You was not to be outdone, and the Extreme Vortex that had been formed also erupted.

Chapter 115: Rely on Me as You Like

When the two magical forces collided, the terrifying impact destroyed the stone brick ground almost instantly, with soil and bricks being pushed outwards, and the shrubs in the flower bed also vanishing in an instant.

After the terrifying curse power was released, the battlefield was devastated. Xia You stood there, her hair, which had been tied up, was now completely disheveled, her uniform had been torn apart by the violent energy, and her body was covered with large burn-like marks.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutched her chest, and gasped for fresh air. Even with such severe injuries, her eyes remained fixed on the dust and smoke in front of her.

In a contest of pure magical power, Xia You lost completely. If things go as expected, she will die here alone, without even the chance to say goodbye to her best friend.

"How arrogant! I should have told Gojo and Shoko beforehand..."

Xia You chuckled to herself, preparing to control the Rainbow Dragon to fly towards the High School of Spellcasting before being killed by Rika. After she died, the Rainbow Dragon would go out of control, and Gojo and the others would naturally know what Xia You had gone through.

However, when she controlled the rainbow dragon to soar into the sky, the wind pressure dispersed the dust and smoke. What she saw was not Rika with a victorious air, but Rika kneeling on the ground, bleeding from her seven orifices.

At first, Natsumi Eri didn't understand what was going on, but soon she realized that Rika was not yet proficient in controlling her curse power. After forcibly fusing her own curse power with the curse power of the curse spirit Yigu, the enormous curse power completely lost control, resulting in an explosion.

Rika, who was closest to the explosion, was naturally severely injured and on the verge of death...

"I never imagined I would lose so completely."

Rika raised her head and stared quietly at Natsumi across from her. There was no resentment, regret, or fear in her eyes. She forced herself to sit on the ground, while the cursed spirit, Etsukotsu, anxiously circled around her, calling out "Rika" repeatedly, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I'm fine, Yuta."

Rika comforted the cursed spirit Yigu, her gaze falling on Xiayou, revealing a posture of accepting defeat:

"I'm already very happy to have achieved this level for the first time, and I'm sure I'll do even better next time."

Next time?

Natsumi Haru frowned. She wasn't going to give Ideal a "next time." She was about to call for Rainbow Dragon to attack when she heard Rika mutter softly:

"Let's do it, Yuta."

Upon hearing this, Xia You's pupils contracted, and he quickly raised the Rainbow Dragon, which was in attack mode, in front of him to block Rika's dying counterattack.

puff.

A clear sound of flesh being torn apart rang out, but Xia You was not harmed at all. She stared intently at the opposite side, watching as the cursed spirit Yi Gu bit into Rika's upper body, eating her while shedding tears.

The sounds of chewing and bones cracking continued until Rika was completely devoured by the cursed spirit, Etsukoku. Only then did Natsuyu realize that Rika was dead.

She couldn't understand why Rika would give such an order. Logically speaking, with the almost limitless curse power of the curse spirit Yigu, she should have the power to fight back when she was dying. So why did she choose to seek death, and die at the hands of the curse spirit Yigu?

Xia Youhui considered many possibilities, but ultimately came to only one conclusion:

"Is this the love between them? It's dirty, but you have to admit... it's pure."

Xia You sighed, and when he came to his senses and tried to take the Cursed Spirit Bone into his possession, the Cursed Spirit Bone turned to ashes and disappeared after eating Li Xiang.

It was a contract of life and death. After Rika died, the cursed spirit Otsuku, which was attached to Rika, lost its foundation and naturally dissipated.

Natsumi Eri felt quite sorry about this. She straightened her uniform, stepped on the rainbow dragon, and flew into the sky, heading towards the High School of Spellcasting.

As for the mess at the scene, and the students and teachers in the nearby school buildings who witnessed this, after Natsumi Eri returns to the Magic High School to report on the battle, someone will come with low-level magic tools to erase the memories of the witnesses.

Three days later, the terrifying explosion inside the school was covered up as a gas explosion...

"What a huge loss..."

In the faculty dormitory of the Jujutsu High School, Natsumi Eri recovered from her injuries with the help of Shoko. Lying in bed, she recalled how three days ago, despite using the Jujutsu spirits she had accumulated over six years and the special-grade Jujutsu spirit [Tamamo-no-Mae], she still failed to defeat the Jujutsu spirit Otsuku. Her heart was bleeding.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think:

"If I had brought Gojo with me back then, with her abilities, she could definitely have helped me defeat the Cursed Spirit Otsukumo. But my reliance on her like this might annoy her... My Cursed Spirit..."

Natsumi Eri was troubled again. She covered her head with a pillow and rolled around on the bed until the sound of a lock clicking and the door being pushed open.

"Hey, I think I heard my name. What are you saying? Xia You."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Natsumi Eri stiffened, quickly removed her pillow, and sat up in bed. She saw the long white hair and the figure wearing an eye patch.

"Wu, Wu Nai? What are you doing here?"

Natsumi Eri's voice trembled slightly as she recalled her tantrum just now, a stark contrast to her usual composure in front of Gojo... It was a complete collapse of her public persona!

[Oh no, will Gono think I'm a weirdo? Will she tell anyone? Knowing her, she definitely will! My image is ruined!]

Just as Natsume was grieving, Gojo Satoru coughed lightly. As the strongest mage at the moment, she naturally heard what Natsume had just said.

She never expected that her lack of time spent with Xia You would cause Xia You to have so many thoughts about her. In a way, this was her fault.

Then Gojo Satoru said to Natsuyu Eri:

"I heard everything you just said. So that's why you've been deliberately avoiding me all these years."

You can rely on me all you want, after all, true friends are meant to depend on each other. Come on, let's make up!

As he spoke, Gojo Satoru opened his arms, as if to hug Natsuyu Eri, but Natsuyu Eri looked bewildered. She paused for a few seconds, then asked:

"You're not going to tell anyone about what happened today, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru pretended to ponder for a moment, then smiled:

"What are you thinking about? This is such an interesting thing, you have to share it with Shoko!"

Natsumi Eri let out a wail:

"Gono, I'm begging you..."

After playfully bickering for a while, Xia You felt as if their relationship had returned to their college days. While secretly pleased, she was also puzzled:

"Gono, why did you suddenly think of looking for me? Is there something important?"

Reminded by Natsumi Eri, Gojo Satoru finally remembered the purpose of her visit. She scratched her head and said:

"I almost forgot, I recently took on an interesting new student. She's a fan of yours, so I brought her here to meet you."

"fan?"

Natsumi Eri was a little confused. Although she was one of the three Special Grade, her fame was not big enough to have fans.

As Natsume walked out of the room led by Gojo Satoru, he saw a black-haired girl in a floral dress. The girl had a smile on her face and a perfectly placed mole on the corner of her mouth.

"Teacher Xia You, my name is Qi Benlixiang. Please take care of me from now on!"

Chapter 116: Rika in Disguise...

When she saw the girl who looked so familiar, Natsumi Eri felt a little dazed. She felt like she had seen that face somewhere before, or even heard that name before.

No matter how hard she tried to recall, she could only conclude that "this was the first time I had ever met her."

[How strange, is my memory playing tricks on me? Why do I feel like I've seen her somewhere before? And what's with this inexplicable aversion and unease...?]

Upon seeing Kimoto Rika, Natsumi Eri fell into deep thought, only snapping out of it when Kimoto Rika called her name.

"Teacher Xiayou, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Eri turned her gaze back to Kimoto Rika. Although she felt that the child was very strange, she was Gojo Satoru's student, so there shouldn't be any problems.

So Natsumi waved her hand and said:

"It's alright. If you need anything at the college, you can come to me. I'll do my best to help you within my capabilities."

That's wonderful.

Qi Benli smiled slightly, looking just like a little fan who had been recognized by her idol:

"I'll be relying on Teacher Xiayou from now on!"

And so, Rika Kimoto left. Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Eri watched her go until she was completely out of sight before Gojo Satoru spoke:

"Isn't this kid good?"

Xia Youhui nodded:

"She's really good. I can sense her terrifying amount of magical power. Where did you pick her up from?"

"It was discovered by chance during a cursed spirit attack, but..."

Gojo Satoru turned to look at Natsuyu Eri, his tone probing:

"You noticed something odd about her gaze just now. Do you know her?"

Natsumi Eri was taken aback. She couldn't find any information about Kimoto Rika in her memories, and shook her head.

"Not recognizing you must be just my imagination."

"Humph……"

Gojo Satoru crossed his arms and looked in the direction where Kimoto Rika had left:

"That would be perfect..."

Meanwhile, Rika Kimoto had returned to her dormitory at the Jujutsu High School. The moment the door closed, the smile on Rika's face was replaced by indifference.

She is Qiben Rika, who died three days ago at the hands of her beloved. Under the influence of [Falling Love], Rika was killed by the cursed spirit Yigu and was given a chance to be resurrected.

But by sheer coincidence, when she was resurrected, Gojo Satoru happened to discover her. Realizing the chasm between herself and Gojo, Kimoto Rika almost immediately activated [Delusion Creation].

In front of Gojo Satoshi, she fabricated a story based on her background, portraying herself as a pitiful person possessed by a cursed spirit. As for the fact that she had killed hundreds of people over six years, she naturally concealed that.

When she revealed her altered background, Gojo Satoru, who had a penchant for collecting eccentric students, was captivated and immediately took her on as a student.

Qi Benlixiang readily agreed.

In her battle against Natsumi Eri, she suffered from her lack of understanding of sorcery. If she had a deeper understanding of sorcery, she might have won. Entering the sorcery academy for further study was exactly what Rika wanted.
