Chapter 35 - JKNS: Chapter 35

Gojo Satoru clapped his hands, calling out to Maki and Yuta.

Zenin Maki and Okkotsu Yuta, hearing the sound, stopped wielding their staffs and ran towards Gojo Satoru.

Yuuki got up, patted Shura to signal it to get up, and then walked in front of Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru nodded in satisfaction and looked at Inumaki Toge, saying, "Toge, there's a mission that's perfect for you, specifically requesting you. Get it done quickly and come back quickly."

"Salmon."

Inumaki Toge nodded.

"Specifically requesting...?"

Okkotsu Yuta asked with some confusion, and Panda next to him explained, "Toge is the only Grade 2 sorcerer among the first-year students, so he can operate independently."

"Wow~, so amazing!"

Okkotsu Yuta looked at Inumaki Toge with an admiring expression.

Gojo Satoru interjected, "I wanted to recommend Yuuki for promotion to Grade 2 sorcerer before, but he refused."

These words instantly made Yuuki the center of attention, as if everyone was asking why he refused.

"What are you looking at me for? That was a month ago, and my own strength isn't enough to be a Grade 2 sorcerer, isn't it normal to refuse? It's easy to die if you get a mission that doesn't match your abilities."

Yuuki waved his hand and explained with a calm expression.

"Can you stop being so try-hard?" Everyone complained inwardly.

Gojo Satoru: "Alright, Yuta and Yuuki should go too. Yuta will be Toge's assistant, and Yuuki can just watch, just consider it going to see the world."

"Okay."

Yuuki naturally didn't refuse, after all, he smelled the scent of a system mission.

The system always comes into contact with cursed spirits or triggers keywords before issuing missions. He had a hunch that this exorcism would definitely have a mission.

Besides, he had been resting for more than a month, and all he did every day was train with Maki and train the dog.

Although he enjoyed it, he couldn't keep doing this. Without a system mission, it meant that he had no way to get stronger other than exercising.

In other words, the dog was getting stronger quickly, while he was moving like a snail, or even standing still.

Okkotsu Yuta: "Assistant...?"

Gojo Satoru: "Or rather, go for an apprenticeship. There are many types of jujutsu, you can understand it as there are as many ways to exorcise cursed spirits as there are sorcerers. Toge's cursed speech is a good example, go and learn it well. After all, to resolve a curse, you must first understand the curse."

...

Everyone walked out of Jujutsu High, and a black sedan was waiting by the side of the road.

Seeing Okkotsu Yuta, who was a little scared about his first real battle, Yuuki patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Don't be afraid, Gojo-sensei said we're just there to watch."

"Yeah, but it's my first... no, second real battle, so it's inevitable that I'm a little scared."

Okkotsu Yuta tightly gripped the black backpack in his hands, which contained his cursed tools.

"Salmon!"

Inumaki Toge raised his hand and greeted the two.

Just as Yuta looked confused and didn't know what to say, Yuuki next to him raised his hand and slapped him, saying: "Toge, you're here to take care of us two scrubs."

"Bonito flakes."

"Uh, without Panda to translate, how do you know what Toge is saying, Yuuki?" Okkotsu Yuta said inwardly.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru, who was walking to the black sedan, shouted, "Yuta, Yuuki, you two come here for a moment."

"Coming!"

The two responded.

Inumaki Toge looked at Okkotsu Yuta, who was leaving, and didn't know how to communicate with him.

Yuuki would usually ask him to play and have him add a weight buff.

It had to be said, he was the king of hard work.

Gojo Satoru: "Sorry, I can't go with you this time. But Toge can handle this mission alone anyway, not to mention Yuuki, just bring your Shura and watch from the side the whole time.

"But Yuta, I need to remind you, don't let Rika out. No one can guarantee that she'll go back obediently like last time. You can only use Rika's power that can be stored in the sword. If you let her fully manifest, you and I will be dealt with."

"What!"

Okkotsu Yuta heard that he would be dealt with and felt a surge of pressure.

Yuuki, who was watching all of this, was stroking the dog the whole time, and complaining in his heart, "Who can deal with you..."

After the little interlude, the three people and one dog got into the car, even though it was a little crowded.

But it was better than letting Shura follow the car into the city center and causing panic.

After all, with the cursed energy buff, even though it looked heavy, it wasn't slow at all when it ran.

Yuuki had tested it, and it only took three seconds to run 100 meters, and that wasn't even its top speed.

Of course, the result of being too heavy and having too much explosive power was that the plastic runway was destroyed on the spot.

Would that kind of speed not be able to keep up with a car?

Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination. Everyone got out of the car, and didn't know what to say as they looked at the silent shopping street.

Ijichi Kiyotaka, the assistant supervisor and part-time driver from Jujutsu High, the man with the middle-parted hair, said while holding a tablet:

"The stores on this Happiness Shopping Street have basically closed down. According to the plan, this area will be demolished and a large shopping center will be built. During the inspection, it was confirmed that there is a group of low-level cursed spirits gathered here. I'm counting on you, Grade 2 Sorcerer Inumaki, to exorcise these cursed spirits."

Halfway through his explanation, Inumaki Toge went to the store behind him to buy something. Yuuki also followed to buy a drink, since it wasn't his problem anyway.

He could wait for the system mission to be released before taking action. Okkotsu Yuta was listening attentively the whole time, and didn't notice the two people and one dog leaving.

"Huh!?" Ijichi Kiyotaka, who had finished speaking, looked at the two people and one dog who had disappeared and said in shock, "Where did Sorcerer Inumaki and Sorcerer Yuuki go?"

"Thank you for your patronage!"

The sound coming from the store next to them attracted the two.

Yuuki walked out carrying a bag of hard candies, Shura had a large chicken leg in its mouth, and Inumaki Toge was carrying a bag in his left hand and a drink in his right hand.

Yuuki took out a drink from the bag and threw it to Yuta, saying, "Catch!"

"Oh, okay."

Ijichi Kiyotaka, as if he was used to it, wasn't angry, and continued, "Anyway, the developers don't want the land they invested heavily in to be known for bad things, which would affect future operations, so they urgently commissioned us to deal with it as soon as possible."

"Salmon."

Inumaki Toge nodded to indicate that he understood.

Seeing this, Ijichi Kiyotaka adjusted his glasses and said seriously:

"I'm going to put up the veil now, I wish the three of you good luck!!"

As the black veil fell, the three people and one dog walked down the silent shopping street.

Okkotsu Yuta looked around nervously and said, "He just said that there were low-level cursed spirits gathered together, right?"

"Yeah, but it would be great if they were just low-level cursed spirits, Toge could wipe them all out with a single sentence."

Yuuki took a sip of his cold drink and looked at the small black fish floating in the air next to him.

It was pouring out its resentment, "I still want to eat, but Mom won't buy it for me, I'm sad..."

With a soft murmur, more and more small fish followed and swam out, all pouring out their resentment, then purposefully gathering in one place.

Shura was baring its teeth and growling at the floating cursed spirits, its fur standing on end, already entering battle mode.

Looking at the cursed spirits gathered in a ball, Okkotsu Yuta recalled what Maki had taught him at Jujutsu High: "Cursed spirits like to gather together, especially the weak ones", and then complained:

"Even so, there are too many!"

"Yeah, it would be a little troublesome even for me to deal with, but it's just a sentence for Toge."

Yuuki said calmly.

"Why?"

Okkotsu Yuta asked with some confusion. He had never known how to communicate with Inumaki Toge in the past few months.

Without Panda to translate, he couldn't understand what he was saying at all, but Yuuki had done it!

"You've been studying for so long and you still don't know? As Gojo-sensei said, there are as many ways to exorcise cursed spirits as there are sorcerers in this world. If I were to exorcise these cursed spirits, I'd probably burn down the entire street, but Toge's cursed speech makes what he says come true, don't you understand?"

Yuuki said and looked at Inumaki Toge, who was approaching the group of cursed spirits.

Okkotsu Yuta also looked over, his mind still echoing Yuuki's words.

Inumaki Toge pulled down his collar with his left hand, and the family's technique was imprinted on both sides of his mouth and on his tongue.

He opened his mouth and moved his tongue a few times, seemingly trying to find the correct pronunciation for the words he was about to say, then took a deep breath and shouted at the group of cursed spirits: "Explode!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of cursed spirits seemed to have been struck by some invisible force.

Their pupils were full of pain, their mouths opened as if they wanted to say something, their bodies were shaking mechanically, and red light shone from their foreheads.

"Boom! Boom! Boom...!!"

Violent explosions resounded continuously.

In just a moment, all of those cursed spirits were wiped out, falling from the sky, and before they could touch the ground, they turned to ash and dissipated into the heavens and earth.

Looking at the cursed spirits that had been completely wiped out, Okkotsu Yuta seemed to understand why Toge didn't speak normally, it was because he was afraid of hurting others with what he said.

Inumaki Toge, who had finished dealing with the cursed spirits, was also very uncomfortable at this moment, and felt like his throat was about to dry up and smoke.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Tuna, mayonnaise."

"Are you okay?"

Okkotsu Yuta asked with some concern.

"Bonito flakes..."

Inumaki Toge shook his head and took out throat lozenges from his bag to indicate that he was fine.

At this moment, Yuuki, who was about to leave, noticed that the veil hadn't been lowered, and reminded them, "It's not over yet. I don't know why the veil hasn't disappeared."

"What?"

"Salmon?"

The two came next to Yuuki, looking at the veil that hadn't disappeared.

Okkotsu Yuta stretched out his right hand and touched it, and found that he couldn't get out, and said: "Eh! It's already been exorcised, so why hasn't the veil disappeared?"

At this moment, Shura seemed to have sensed something, and barked wildly at the air, its brain then said to Yuuki, "Master, something's approaching."

"Yuuki, what's wrong with Shura?"

Okkotsu Yuta asked with some confusion.

"Him..." Yuuki took off the black backpack on his shoulder, unhurriedly opened the zipper, took out the cursed tool that was inside, and said, "It just sensed that an enemy is coming."

"Enemy!?"

Just as Yuta finished speaking, a cursed spirit fell from the sky, and landed in front of the three in an instant.

Its legs were crossed in a seated position, its hands were placed on its knees, and it was floating in the air.

It had a huge, long nose that reached its abdomen, eyes as big as bells, and a pair of fangs below them.

Its appearance was somewhat similar to a wild boar.
