"Let's go, brother!"
Unlike the others, who looked wary and conflicted, Todo and Yuji showed excited expressions when they realized the final boss was Satoru.
Suguru, standing behind Satoru, suddenly felt a bit annoyed.
Although he knew he was not as famous as Satoru, he was still an old Special Grade sorcerer, one of the beings standing at the pinnacle of the Jujutsu World.
Why did everyone's gaze focus on Satoru the moment these people appeared?
Was Satoru really that good-looking?
All of you are looking at him, not a single one of you is looking at me?
Thinking this, Suguru glanced at Satoru from the corner of his eye.
'Hiss, he does look pretty good. I'll take another look.'
Just then, Todo and Yuji's attacks arrived.
Suguru glanced at Todo, then casually threw a punch.
He knew this guy. His strength was decent, but he was not worth that much attention.
Clap.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of hands clapping, Todo suddenly disappeared, and Yuji's iron fist struck toward Suguru's face.
Suguru, who had been looking at Satoru and nearly got punched in the face, "What's going on?"
He narrowly dodged Yuji's punch, and another clap sounded.
Todo, who had already prepared his attack, appeared and kicked Suguru.
Suguru raised both arms to block the kick.
"Tsk, what a shame."
Todo, who had planned to take out one of them with this combo, clicked his tongue in annoyance.
However, before the battle began, he had already prepared himself for the attempt to fail.
After all, there were two Special Grade sorcerers in front of them. If they were defeated so easily, that would be too weak.
"Interesting. Didn't you two just meet a few days ago? And you can already pull off such a beautiful combination? Even Fushiguro and Yuji can't manage such perfect teamwork."
Satoru took off his sunglasses and looked at the two with interest.
"Isn't that obvious? We are best friends, after all."
Todo said this with a smile.
"That's right. If you underestimate us, you'll regret it, Satoru-sensei."
Yuji, who had unconsciously accepted the title of best friend, also said this.
"Best friends?" x2
Hearing this, Satoru and Suguru exchanged glances.
Then they both showed the same smile.
"Coincidentally, so are we."
As their words fell, the four of them, with incredible synergy, instantly engaged in battle.
Suguru was the main attacker. His powerful physical technique even allowed him to contend with Todo and Yuji at the same time.
Satoru, on the other hand, actively coordinated with Suguru. The unparalleled Cursed Energy observation ability of his Six Eyes always allowed him to instantly discern the position changes of Boogie Woogie.
The fierce battle between the two sides made it impossible for the people outside the field to intervene for a while.
They were afraid that if their attack hit, the target would suddenly switch to Todo or Yuji.
"Momo, prepare for battle. After Todo falls, defeating them will be up to you."
Noritoshi said this with a solemn expression.
"Ah? Me?"
Momo stared at Noritoshi in disbelief.
She could not understand how Noritoshi, with his normal body temperature, could issue such a chilling command, telling her to deal with Satoru.
Who was Momo?
The last in terms of strength at Kyoto School.
The last in terms of damage output in Cursed Spirit extermination battles.
A cute little witch who usually only did reconnaissance and idled her days away.
You want her to fight that guy who can beat Todo unconscious?
"That's right. According to the Kamo Family's records, there was once a Gojo Family head who possessed both the Six Eyes and Limitless, and a Zenin Clan head who possessed the Ten Shadows Technique. They both died together. Therefore, you, who have exchanged for the Ten Shadows Technique, have a chance of winning."
Noritoshi looked at Momo seriously.
"Moreover, Azuma Eichi, a strong sorcerer now on par with Satoru, is also a user of the Ten Shadows Technique. The school won't give us an impossible task, so the Ten Shadows Technique is very likely the key to defeating Satoru."
Noritoshi stated his judgment, believing he had understood the truth behind why the school set up Cursed Technique trading in this game.
School: Stop rushing us, we're already trying to figure out how to deal with these two bugs.
"Um, I still have some points. I can exchange for the Ten Shadows Technique."
Kasumi, standing nearby, weakly raised her hand.
As the only one among them from a truly ordinary family, Kasumi.
She was someone who usually would not even splurge on milk tea, and frugality had already been ingrained into her bones.
Earlier, when she found that her current strength was enough to handle the competition, Kasumi saved her remaining points instead of spending them. Now, they could come in handy.
"Well done, Miwa. This increases our chances of winning."
Noritoshi opened his eyes happily.
As long as Kyoto School won in the end, then he, Noritoshi, would also win.
Just then, Todo was caught by Satoru and sent flying with a punch.
Todo, having taken a heavy blow to the head, rolled his eyes and temporarily lost consciousness.
"Charge!"
The moment Todo fainted, everyone launched an attack toward Satoru.
Yuji immediately moved away from Satoru and began tangling with Suguru.
Suguru: #
"Muda muda. Attacks of this level are useless against me."
Just then, two familiar arm blades pierced through Satoru's Limitless.
"Oh, is it Mahoraga? Interesting."
A hint of excitement flashed in Satoru's eyes.
"Suguru, don't interfere. I'll play with them first."
"Okay."
Suguru, who was chasing and beating Yuji, made a gesture toward Satoru.
After that, a fierce battle began. The two Mahoraga continuously attacked, while Satoru, after a brief exchange and probing Mahoraga's strength, began looking for opportunities to unleash Purple.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."
After adjusting his stance, Satoru smiled at the Mahoraga charging forward, then released Red.
The Mahoraga in front of him was sent flying by the powerful repulsive force, knocking down the other Mahoraga not far away.
"Hollow Technique: Purple."
Terrifying light began to flicker, and an attack capable of destroying everything was about to descend.
"No good, get out of the way!"
Megumi immediately canceled Mahoraga's summoning, preventing his Mahoraga from being destroyed.
The little witch Momo, who had just exchanged for Mahoraga and whose energy was mostly focused on her owl, Nue, did not make it in time.
Boom.
A purple beam of light swept across, leaving a clean cut on the platform.
"Phew, that was close, that was close."
Momo patted her chest.
"Thank you, Miwa."
"You're welcome."
It turned out that Kasumi, who had finally exchanged for the Ten Shadows Technique and maxed out its Cursed Technique strength, had her Mahoraga save Momo's Mahoraga.
Even so, Momo's Mahoraga still lost half of its body.
"What should we do next?"
Noritoshi looked at the field with a frustrated expression.
Because of the pride of the Three Great Families, he had used all his points to strengthen Blood Manipulation, so he could not help at all now.
"Mahoraga means that it still needs time to complete its adaptation to Satoru's Cursed Technique."
Kasumi scratched her cheek, speaking apologetically.
"My Mahoraga has proposed a new method, but it requires your consent."
"What?"
"Let the two Mahoraga fuse to increase Mahoraga's power and adaptation speed."
"Come on, Nishimiya."
Soon, under their commands, the two Mahoraga completed Body Integration, like a Chimera fusing.
A two-faced, four-armed Mahoraga with a ferocious expression appeared before Satoru.
"You can do that? I've never seen Eichi use Mahoraga Fusion before."
Satoru looked at the two-faced, four-armed Mahoraga in front of him, his face full of curiosity.
Then he summoned the Mahoraga he had exchanged for.
"I won't lose. You're the one, one-headed, two-armed Mahoraga!"
