Nanako and Mimiko stared at the massive Cursed Spirit perched atop the building. Seeing the gigantic Cursed Spirit stretch out its demonic claw toward a student inexplicably isolated in a corner of the school, the two immediately mobilized all the Cursed Energy in their bodies and intentionally released it.
Although Cursed Energy resides within every living organism in this world, there are still differences between types of Cursed Energy. In the gigantic Cursed Spirit's perception, the sudden release was like two scorching suns appearing in the starry night sky.
The demonic claw extended by the gigantic Cursed Spirit was about to grab the isolated student, but upon sensing Nanako and Mimiko's Cursed Energy, it instantly changed its target, stretching its claw toward the two girls instead.
"Look at that intelligence. We can rule out a Special Grade Cursed Spirit."
Nanako couldn't help but mock the Cursed Spirit's clumsy movements. Whether the Cursed Spirit heard and understood her or not, the demonic claw it extended suddenly sped up.
Just as the claw was about to seize them, the sound of a phone camera shutter echoed, and the monstrous claw instantly froze, suspended above the two girls.
Nanako's Cursed Technique is named [Screen Capture Window]. It can be activated using a mobile phone as a medium, allowing her to interfere with the scene within the photograph taken by the phone via her Cursed Technique.
The Cursed Technique encompasses the freezing of objects, the replacement of objects, and even the deletion of objects. However, this Cursed Technique consumes a huge amount of Cursed Energy, and against opponents with vastly superior Cursed Energy, the technique's effect might automatically be nullified.
The moment the Cursed Energy hand was immobilized, Mimiko pulled a thick, long rope from her bag. As Mimiko forcefully swung the rope, it extended to a length of several dozen meters.
The rope quickly wrapped around the extended hand of the Cursed Spirit. After Mimiko channeled Cursed Energy to enhance the strike, the Cursed Spirit's hand was instantly strangled and reduced to pure Cursed Energy.
Mimiko exhaled a puff of air. The several-dozen-meter rope floated in the air like Nezha's Universe-Mixing Silk, guarding Mimiko's side.
This rope is a Cursed Tool. A few years ago, Chinatsu participated in a new Cursed Tool auction as the current head of the Gojo Family, and this Cursed Tool was specifically purchased by Chinatsu at that time.
Its effect is quite similar to the "ten thousand mile chain" held by Fushiguro Toji; as long as one end of the rope is not directly observed by others, the rope itself can extend indefinitely.
Mimiko's Cursed Technique is [Rope Binding], a technique that allows her to freely manipulate rope-like objects, enhancing their restraint and strangulation effects, making it a perfect match for this rope Cursed Tool.
The gigantic Cursed Spirit watched its hand being severed. It paused for a moment, then displayed an expression that, even through its hideous grin, was clearly one of fury.
Unlike human Jujutsu Sorcerers, a Cursed Spirit, which is formed purely from condensed Cursed Energy, can easily achieve physical self-regeneration. As long as its body is not completely dispersed in a single blow, it can recover simply by expending Cursed Energy.
In the blink of an eye, the gigantic Cursed Spirit recovered its severed hand. With its eyes wide in fury, it stared down at Nanako and Mimiko, then leaped from the top of the tall building to land directly in front of them.
Although it wasn't a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, it was at the level of high Grade 1. Wrapped in waves of terrifying negative Cursed Energy, Nanako and Mimiko instantly felt the immense pressure emanating from the Cursed Spirit.
However, Nanako and Mimiko chose not to retreat and flee. They were the only Jujutsu Sorcerers present, and if they ran, they had no doubt that the Cursed Spirit would immediately turn its malice toward the ordinary people.
Although this world is inherently imperfect, and the two girls had experienced terrible encounters in their childhood due to the villagers' ignorance, they chose to protect the beauty that remained and transform this flawed, imperfect world into the way they wished it to be.
Nanako seriously raised her phone high. Although the Cursed Spirit's main body was too large, and she wasn't sure if mobilizing all her Cursed Energy could restrain it, she knew everything had to be attempted before the result could be known.
Mimiko, meanwhile, put all her effort into amplifying the rope's length, attempting to hogtie the entire Cursed Spirit with the rope.
The two girls' current Jujutsu level was at the "Grade 2" stage, making them undoubtedly geniuses and elites among their age group in the Jujutsu World.
If the Cursed Spirit before them had been an ordinary Grade 1 instead of a high Grade 1 nearing Special Grade, they would have had a chance to win even solo, let alone working together.
The gigantic Cursed Spirit lowered its head, looking down at Nanako and Mimiko. Just as it prepared to strike with its demonic claw, a massive hole was suddenly blasted through its back.
Before the Cursed Spirit could even react, another huge hole suddenly opened up in its front chest, the side facing Nanako and Mimiko.
The gigantic Cursed Spirit was utterly bewildered. With a hole in both the front and the back, the injury, while not yet at the level of complete dispersion, was close to hovering on the brink of death.
With a "Bang!" it tilted backward and collapsed onto the ground. Standing before Nanako and Mimiko was Chinatsu, who had arrived at the location unnoticed, and she was carrying the distressed students who had been swallowed by the Cursed Spirit.
"Sister!!!"
Nanako and Mimiko simultaneously showed expressions of delight. Their nerves, previously taut as bowstrings, instantly relaxed, as if a massive boulder pressing on their chests had shattered.
"Mhm, you two did very well. If you hadn't distracted the Cursed Spirit, these students might have already been digested and lost their lives."
Chinatsu gently nodded at Nanako and Mimiko, placing her hands on the distressed students and silently using Reverse Cursed Technique to heal their physical injuries.
The gigantic Cursed Spirit lying collapsed on the ground was also healing its body, but before it could finish its regeneration and crawl back up, Chinatsu, who was using Reverse Cursed Technique on the distressed students, slowly murmured a single word.
"Blue."
Without any wind-up or hand signs, a mass of blue energy, like light and flame, suddenly appeared above the Cursed Spirit behind her.
In just a few seconds, the gigantic Cursed Spirit's body was torn apart by the intense suction force, ultimately dissolving into pure Cursed Energy that dispersed into the air.
Nanako and Mimiko's eyes sparkled brightly, radiating overwhelming adoration toward Chinatsu like devoted fangirls.
Meanwhile, back at Jujutsu High, one person was also thinking about Chinatsu, though the strained expression on his face was enough to announce his current mood.
[Requesting a full day off due to family matters. Please approve.]
Yaga Masamichi, who had been promoted to Principal of Jujutsu High, fell into a long silence as he looked at the leave request from the teacher Chinatsu in his hand. He then pulled open the drawer behind him and stuffed the application inside.
It is worth mentioning that the drawer was already filled with a stack of similar application forms, so much so that Yaga Masamichi couldn't just casually stuff it in; he had to fit it in perfectly...
