Tokyo Jujutsu High, Yeyama Foothills.
"Gojo."
"Hm?"
Gojo Satoru, still on alert, looked at Suguru Geto.
"You've worked hard."
Suguru Geto, standing beside him with one hand on his hip, said in a gentle tone.
"Ah."
Gojo Satoru sighed, then casually changed the subject.
At the same time, the Six Eyes under his sunglasses no longer emitted a faint blue glow.
The bounty on the black market had expired.
And they had arrived inside the High School, which was heavily protected by a barrier.
The escort mission could almost be declared complete.
However, the darkest moment of the day is just before dawn.
To the disbelief of everyone present...
A sharp blade pierced Gojo Satoru's chest.
Gojo Satoru immediately counterattacked.
Suguru Geto also immediately released a Cursed Spirit to swallow Toji Fushiguro.
"Gojo!"
After the worm Cursed Spirit swallowed Toji Fushiguro, Suguru Geto immediately ran towards the injured Gojo Satoru.
"It's nothing, I avoided the vital organs, and I protected myself with Cursed Energy in time."
After speaking, Gojo Satoru, who was kneeling on one knee, explained as he stood up.
Gojo Satoru didn't want Suguru Geto to worry.
As he stood up, Gojo Satoru gave an example of a needle passing through a sweater.
"More importantly, you should protect Amanai and the others and take them to Tengen first."
'Gojo.'
Suguru Geto sensed the bravado in Gojo Satoru's words.
But looking at the worried Amanai Riko and Kuroi Misato beside him, he knew that the plan Gojo Satoru proposed was indeed the best solution.
"Be careful."
After speaking, Suguru Geto took Amanai Riko and Kuroi Misato to Hoshiumi Palace.
At the same time, Toji Fushiguro, who spat out Ogama from his mouth, also took out the Soul Release Blade and chopped Suguru Geto's worm Cursed Spirit into pieces.
Using an ordinary knife just now was to prevent the Cursed Energy emitted by the cursed tool from being detected by the Six Eyes.
Now the sneak attack had succeeded; although he failed to kill Gojo Satoru in one go, he did cause him harm.
Fatigue and pain would constantly affect Gojo Satoru's state in the upcoming battle.
"Did the star plasma vessel brat escape?"
Toji Fushiguro's eyes scanned the surroundings.
At this moment, Gojo Satoru was wondering where the cursed tool and Cursed Spirits in Toji Fushiguro's hand came from.
"The bounty has been withdrawn, you idiot."
"Oh, that? I was the one who canceled it."
Toji Fushiguro showed a smug expression.
"If I hadn't set a deadline for the bounty, you wouldn't have canceled your Technique until the very end, would you?"
Although the Inverted Spear of Heaven could forcibly disable Limitless and thus harm Gojo Satoru...
The Inverted Spear of Heaven was a Special Grade cursed tool.
The Cursed Energy it emitted could not escape the observation of the Six Eyes in a situation where there was nothing around, like just now.
"Ah, is that so? Then bring it on."
After confirming that this battle was unavoidable, Gojo Satoru showed an excited and wild smile.
Gojo Satoru hadn't encountered an enemy of this caliber in a long time.
'He's fast, so...'
Gojo Satoru raised his hands, and the maximum output of Blue, under his command, destroyed everything around that obstructed his vision.
Instantly, there was no longer any obstruction within tens of meters around Gojo Satoru.
'A beautiful tactic, but...'
Toji Fushiguro, hiding in the woods, patted Ogama.
Ogama, understanding Toji Fushiguro's meaning, opened its mouth, and a large number of Fly Heads flew out from it.
Thousands of Fly Heads densely surrounded Gojo Satoru.
The observational power of the Six Eyes was greatly interfered with.
Gojo Satoru was about to use a second 'Blue' to clear away the Fly Heads, but the next moment he suddenly realized something.
'Why didn't he attack?'
If the goal of these Fly Heads is to interfere with my vision, then why doesn't he take the opportunity to attack?
If he doesn't attack, these Fly Heads will be eliminated by me.
Gojo Satoru's action of preparing to cast Blue paused.
'He was the one who issued Amanai Riko's bounty; his goal from the beginning was Amanai Riko!'
Realizing this, Gojo Satoru immediately turned to head to Hoshiumi Palace.
However, the moment Gojo Satoru turned around, Toji Fushiguro appeared behind him.
'I fell for it.'
The cursed tool in Toji Fushiguro's hand had already been replaced with the Inverted Spear of Heaven.
Gojo Satoru, unaware of the Inverted Spear of Heaven's abilities, had no time to make further moves and could only strengthen his Limitless defense.
The next moment, Limitless was forcibly interrupted, and the Inverted Spear of Heaven pierced Gojo Satoru's neck.
Gojo Satoru wanted to counterattack.
Toji Fushiguro, having the initiative, naturally wouldn't give him a chance and used a series of skilled combos to beat Gojo Satoru to the brink of death.
"Finally getting my touch back."
Toji Fushiguro turned and walked towards Hoshiumi Palace.
At this moment, an unspeakable satisfaction surged in Toji Fushiguro's heart—the satisfaction of trampling the Jujutsu World that looked down on him.
Not long after Toji Fushiguro left, a figure appeared where Gojo Satoru had fallen.
Heroic Spirit Emiya looked at the battered Gojo Satoru and placed a red gem on Gojo Satoru's body.
Although he trusted Eichi's intelligence and knew this was the catalyst for Gojo Satoru's Awakening...
His gentle nature still couldn't let go of his worry for Gojo Satoru.
The gem emitted a red light, and the fatal wounds on Gojo Satoru's neck and forehead were healed.
Heroic Spirit Emiya then dematerialized and disappeared again.
Inside Hoshiumi Palace, Suguru Geto spoke Amanai Riko's deepest desire.
"Go through the gate; at the root of that big tree, there's a special barrier different from the High School. Once you're there, Tengen will protect you until the assimilation ends, or... you can turn back now and go home with Kuroi."
Looking at Amanai Riko's incredulous expression, Suguru Geto slowly stated his and Gojo Satoru's decision.
Even if it meant becoming enemies with Tengen, they would protect Amanai Riko.
"I..."
Tears welled up in Amanai Riko's eyes, and her voice gradually choked up.
"As expected, I still want to be with everyone, want to be with everyone..."
The next moment, Amanai Riko lost consciousness.
Suguru Geto stared in shock at the man who appeared behind Amanai Riko.
Toji Fushiguro reached out a hand and grabbed the unconscious Amanai Riko.
"Why? Why are you here?"
Suguru Geto asked in disbelief.
Gojo Satoru lost?
This was the answer Suguru Geto had already realized but dared not believe.
"Get away from Amanai."
Suguru Geto immediately attacked Toji Fushiguro, trying to reclaim Amanai Riko.
Toji Fushiguro retreated, carrying Amanai Riko with his left hand, and forced Suguru Geto back with a slash from his right hand.
Behind Suguru Geto, Rainbow Dragon, Slit-Mouthed Woman, and a Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit appeared.
Toji Fushiguro seemed to completely disregard Suguru Geto's actions.
"Hey! I've already caught this brat. How do you plan to kill her? There were too many requirements; I forgot."
'There are more enemies!'
Suguru Geto immediately realized this.
"Oh my, how did you sense I was here?"
Seeing this, Medea no longer hid and appeared openly before the two.
Although the people present currently had conflicts, they would all become comrades in the future.
Kenjaku did not enter Hoshiumi Palace; when Toji Fushiguro defeated Gojo Satoru, Kenjaku encountered his own opponent.
As for Tengen? Don't bother with that Millennium Housegirl.
Suguru Geto and Gojo Satoru were already prepared to fight Tengen, so why bother with her?
"I don't know, I just tried, and you came out yourself."
