Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Jujutsu Battle

Are they going to fight? Now? Here!?

Fushiguro Megumi nervously prepared his hand signs, ready to summon shikigami, not for battle, but to protect himself if Gojo-sensei and Sukuna fought.

Ichiji Kiyotaka behind them was also tense. He had no combat ability and was just a burden here, but he still softly reminded, "Gojo-sensei, fighting the enemy here might not be a good idea."

"There are many ordinary citizens around, even if we evacuate now, it would be too late."

"I know."

Gojo Satoru said.

He was also thinking about the best solution in this situation, trying to delay time by talking to Ryoumen Sukuna.

In this situation, whether they fought or let Sukuna leave, it would cause great damage and danger.

It couldn't be helped. What they thought was a recruitable talent turned out to be Ryoumen Sukuna's vessel.

Being Sukuna's vessel was indeed a once-in-a-century talent in a way.

[Are we going to fight?] Yukinoshita Yukino asked worriedly.

[We have no choice, they won't let us leave. This guy is provoking us, we can't just let him do whatever he wants, right?] Hayashizaki said casually, trying to calm the anxious girl.

But he misunderstood—Yukinoshita Yukino didn't disagree with Hayashizaki using her body to fight. She wasn't the type to just accept things passively. She was just worried that Hayashizaki might get hurt... even though it was her body that would be injured.

Of course, she couldn't say these words out loud and could only bury them deep in her heart.

Yukinoshita Yukino stopped talking, and Hayashizaki took her silence as consent. He untied the two red ribbons from her long hair and tied his own hair into a high ponytail.

"You seem troubled, follow me."

With that, he disappeared from sight.

The girl's figure suddenly vanished from view, and Fushiguro Megumi's pupils shrank. He couldn't see her movements at all.

This meant that if Hayashizaki had chosen to attack just now, he wouldn't even know how he died.

"Megumi, Ijichi, you two stay here."

Gojo Satoru didn't give any further instructions. After all, if Sukuna intended to cause trouble, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

With that, he sensed the powerful cursed energy moving like lightning and clapped his hands, disappearing as well.

If Hayashizaki's sudden disappearance was a display of extreme speed, then Gojo Satoru's disappearance was true teleportation.

In a high-speed chase that was almost impossible to see with the naked eye, Hayashizaki finally stopped in the outskirts, far from the buildings, and Gojo Satoru followed closely behind.

He said in surprise, "You specifically chose to stop in the outskirts, does Lord Sukuna care about ordinary people's lives?"

"It's no fun if we fight cautiously, right?" Hayashizaki started stretching. "Besides, I have to consider this girl's feelings."

"Well, thank you then."

Gojo Satoru laughed easily, "You've really helped a lot."

Before he finished speaking, a figure attacked, a fist wrapped in cursed energy aimed at the handsome face of the white-haired man, but it stopped right in front of him.

Hayashizaki's pupils shrank slightly.

"Don't be in such a hurry. You look confused, this is my technique..."

Gojo Satoru was about to explain in detail but was interrupted.

"I see, it's like a converging infinite series."

Hayashizaki was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. "Your technique is the Limitless Technique, right?"

He had seen it in the system's exchange list out of boredom. It was quite expensive, costing 100,000 points.

Interrupted and having his technique figured out, even someone as thick-skinned as Gojo Satoru felt a bit embarrassed. "An old relic from a thousand years ago knows this stuff, it's really surprising."

"What are you talking about? This is calculus. I was tortured by it back then."

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Gojo Satoru laughed and countered.

After the failed attack, Hayashizaki immediately retreated, dodging Gojo Satoru's swinging hand. But just as he thought he had successfully avoided the counterattack, he suddenly felt a repulsive force from his abdomen.

"I miss?"

Gojo Satoru removed his blindfold, revealing his glowing blue eyes. He looked at Hayashizaki, who was sitting cross-legged on a tree trunk not far away, supporting his head with one hand, and grinned, "You're quite capable."

Although it wasn't enhanced by a technique, being able to dodge the repulsive force instantly shows Sukuna's strength is not to be underestimated.

"Shinra Tensei? Are you Pain?" Hayashizaki quipped, resting his cheek on his hand.

Those eyes, they must be the Six Eyes.

The Limitless Technique consumes a lot of energy, and only with the Six Eyes can it be used freely. This is knowledge from the system.

And to exchange for a pair of Six Eyes, it costs 400,000 points, four times the cost of the Limitless Technique.

You could say Gojo Satoru is worth 500,000 points. Talent is really something.

"I'm a sorcerer."

A voice came from behind, accompanied by the sound of a fist breaking through the air. "Gojo Satoru, this name should leave a deep impression on you."

The fist was covered with a technique, feeling like his body was being pulled towards it. But Hayashizaki didn't plan to dodge and caught Gojo Satoru's fist with a backhand.

They exchanged blows rapidly, trading dozens of moves in a second. Their fists left afterimages, and the tree trunk beneath them couldn't bear the strain and broke.

Suddenly, Gojo Satoru's collar was grabbed by a delicate white hand and he was thrown, crashing through several trees before stopping.

He was touched?

Although not hurt, Gojo Satoru looked surprised.

"It's a troublesome technique. It's unfair that you can hit me, but I can't hit you, right? If I expand my domain, it should neutralize your Limitless Technique with the guaranteed hit effect."

Hayashizaki said, patting his skirt and clicking his tongue in dissatisfaction. "Next time, wear proper sportswear."

[...]

Yukinoshita Yukino rolled her eyes inwardly.

"Domain expansion, huh? As expected of the King of Curses, you quickly figured out my Limitless Technique."

Gojo Satoru praised, "But this way, you can't use your technique either. The unfair situation remains."

"What will you do, Ryoumen Sukuna?"
