Chapter 15 - Season 1 Episode 14: What Are You Gonna Do?

"If a curse comes up to you and you have no cursed energy what you finna do?!" He asks me excitedly. I look at him with great perturbance and I hesitate to answer the question because of the bizarreness of it.

"Uh?" He flies at me quickly and jabs the side of my face cutting it with sheer force. He continues a barrage of jabs and crosses I twist and dodge his punches quickly, dodging his attacks is too hard he moves like nothing I've seen before. He continues his onslaught it's like he doesn't get tired, he just keeps attacking. I manage to find an opening at his side and I strike his side with all my strength, the Nimble Burst explodes and sends him flying.

"You finessed my punches, what's the name of that attack you're doing? I put my guard up and while panting I answer him.

"The Nimble Burst," I say exhausted. He smiles and begins bouncing up and down getting ready.

"Cursed Technique: Crescendo!" He flies at me and punches me so hard in the stomach that my eyes went blurry and for a moment my mind could only process what just happened. He keeps zipping around me and obliterating me with each punch he throws. He flashes next to me and unleashes a barrage of punches, I quickly throw up my arms and guard. He slams my arms with concussive force with each following punch. Once he is finished, my right arm is completely numb and my left arm feels like it had been burned by a stove. He flies at me once more and jabs me right in the face slamming me into the fence of the school. He quickly pursues and tackles me through the fence and I fly through another section of the school. I get up slowly and hold my face as blood trickles from my forehead. As the smoke clears I witness him walking with his fists engulfed in cursed energy.

"I'm gonna ask you another question... what you finna do if a sorcerer uses a Domain Expansion against you?!" He says excitedly. Again, I'm confused I have no idea what a Domain Expansion even is.

"Use the Banshee," I respond angrily. He stops dead in his tracks and stares at me with an intense face.

"You don't even know how to use it to its fullest." He says sharply. My heart skips a beat, how the hell does he know that about me?

"How the-" I begin.

"You're a really big name right now in the world of Jujutsu, you might've even gotten bigger than Gojo himself!" He says in a delighted tone.

"Is that why you wanna beat me? Because I have a big name? Well-" I say angrily before I'm cut off again.

"I want you to protect that name..." He says in an empathetic voice while still maintaining the sharpness of it. He looks at me with genuine eyes and ushers me to stand up. I get up and engulf my palms with cursed energy and suddenly my whole body flares up in cursed energy. He smiles and begins hopping again.

"Cursed Technique: Crescendo!" He shouts as he flies at me and I zip at him with extreme speed, picking up rocks and debris alongside us. He punches me directly in the center of my face, blood spurts from my nose but I stand my ground and thrust my palm into his solar plexus, and deliver two more palm strikes to his face. He dashes back and wipes the blood from his face. He takes a deep breath and resumes his hopping.

"Use your sword." The boy demands of me. I look at him once more with confusion.

"How did-" I begin.

"I told you from the beginning that I have kept an eye on you! I know practically everything." He tells me with a smile on his face.

"That's not my Cursed Technique though, I can't use it," I tell him.

"The Banshee is a Special Grade Curse right?" He asks sarcastically.

"Yes..." I say in an annoyed tone.

"Its power is weird, though that isn't saying much seeing as really; all of our powers are unnatural. But the Banshee is far more complicated, it can spread itself to different clans, it isn't exclusive. But it has NEVER spread itself to a person with unrealized potential. It was thought to have gone extinct because it hasn't appeared in over a century; until now..." He explains to me. I wonder if Shinzo had anything to do with this. I'm still confused about what his goal was. If he wanted to rid the world of curses why did he claim to have planted a seed of hate? Hate only causes curses, not end them.

"Why did it choose me?" I ask him.

"I wish I knew, but what I can do is see if you're worthy to have it." He says as he begins hopping once more.

I extend my hand out and the Banshee's portal appears and it crawls halfway out still holding on to the outer portal space. It regurgitates the blade and I grab it unsheathing it felt empowering. I imbue it with cursed energy and I dash at him, and I slash his chest and I strike his chest creating a shockwave that sends him through the hallway. As he flies down the hall I flash behind him and I palm strike his head.

"Black Flash!" I say as a discharge of black electricity explodes sending him through the ground. I fall through the opening and deliver another black flash to his spine and I dash backward and hold the blade out in front of me as I wait for the dust to disperse.

"Looks like you're stronger than I thought!" He says coughing and wiping the blood from his mouth as it practically pours blood.

"Cursed Technique: Crecendo: Prestissimo!" He says and my eyes didn't even register he'd completely disappeared. His cursed energy had disappeared as well, he had completely vanished. Then suddenly a concussive force hits my face and I am sent through the entire building. I struggle to maintain consciousness and a barrage of invisible punches bruise and batter me until only a sliver of sight remains in my eyes. I stumble and my arm is unable to raise the blade, I cough up blood and fall on one knee. A burst of air explodes onto me and I fly into the pond the school had in the middle of the courtyard. My sight had gone completely black, I could only hear the muffled and drowned voice from above.

"NUMBER 12 HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!"
