Chapter 5 - JKNS: Chapter 5

"Gurgle—"

The sound of water droplets appeared overhead. Yuuki looked up to observe. A drop of water, like ink, scattered around, slowly enveloping the school.

This sense of shock was incomparable to the manga, although he hadn't read much of it.

Yuta said in shock, "It's getting dark!!"

"Relax." Gojo Satoru said with a smile, walking towards the door, and said in a light tone:

"This is a Veil. It prevents you from being seen from the outside. The Veil is a barrier that makes curses visible, and it's easy to dispel from the inside. Well then, be careful, and don't die."

After saying that, the black Veil completely covered the ground, and he stood outside the Veil, waiting.

"Die? Sensei!"

Yuta looked flustered at this moment, as if he wanted to say something, but Yuuki reminded him, "Don't look around, the cursed spirits are already out."

"What!"

Yuta looked over upon hearing this. Maki Zenin had already taken out the naginata from her bag, and three tall, one-eyed cursed spirits were standing on the originally empty road.

They looked the same, and then, as if they had gone mad, their whole bodies began to tremble, and their hoarse voices were frightening: "Come… in… side…"

A pair of slender arms were placed under the one eye at this moment, and then reached into the opening that was sewn shut with thick thread.

While saying eerie whispers, they forcefully tore open the thread that was sewing the opening shut.

Inexplicably, white liquid flowed out from the gap, and the viscous liquid slowly dripped onto the ground.

How disgusting.

Yuuki felt a little nauseous at this moment. Even though he had clinically observed corpse dissections, he still felt disgusted at this moment.

"Click—"

The white rope broke, and a wide tongue appeared from within. As the crack completely opened, the true face of the cursed spirit also appeared before the three of them.

That sewn-up opening was actually a mouth!

As the mouths opened, the three cursed spirits ran towards the three of them like madmen, the saliva dripping from their mouths proving that they were already hungry and thirsty, and they would occasionally let out eerie roars.

"They're coming this way!"

Yuta, looking at Yuuki's indifferent expression, thought that he had some way to solve the problem, and quickly asked, "What do we do!"

"Tch, what a coward," Yuuki glanced at Maki, who was holding a weapon, and continued, "These three pieces of trash aren't enough for Maki to kill. She's not panicking, so what are you afraid of?"

He said these words with confidence and righteousness, with the air of a kept man who was acting tough.

"…"

Yuta Okkotsu was speechless. They were both transfer students, so why was there such a big difference between them…

Maki Zenin, who was originally preparing to attack, heard Yuuki using her as a weapon at this moment, and remembered that he had taken advantage of her before.

So she immediately refused, put away the naginata, and said: "Since you're so powerful, then you can solve these?"

"…"

If I could beat them, would I be hugging your leg?

Yuuki was speechless. Although the system mission was to exorcise ten cursed spirits, it was obvious that he couldn't beat these three at all. He couldn't even beat them in terms of size.

But if he didn't push himself, who would know? If he entered the Sharingan state, he might be able to beat them.

Since he personally opened the Sharingan after being beaten by the doll in the morning, he also knew how to enter that state, but he just hadn't tried it, so it might fail.

Oh well, he had to try everything. He had that feeling once, so he'll try it out first.

Let the cursed energy in his body flow into his eyes, and then use that as a foundation to cover the remaining cursed energy over his arms.

No matter how vengeful Maki was, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die, right?

He had to risk it!!

The three cursed spirits were only twenty meters away from Yuuki at this moment. At their speed, this short distance of twenty meters would only take three or four seconds.

In this critical period, Yuuki closed his eyes and controlled the cursed energy in his body to surge into his eyes.

What did he want to do? This madman actually closed his eyes at a time like this!

Maki Zenin clenched the naginata in her hands at this moment, and her eyes gradually became sharp.

If Yuuki was about to be hit, she would launch an attack at the first moment. Although she hated him, that wasn't a reason for her to abandon her teammate.

The cursed spirits, looking at the human who had closed his eyes and was waiting to die, became even more excited at this moment, and their hoarse howls echoed throughout the campus.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Yuuki was panicking inside at this moment. He didn't understand why the cursed energy had gathered in his eyes so quickly last time, only taking 0.1 seconds. When he operated it himself, it became slow.

He was going to die! He was going to die!! He was going to die!!!

A strong desire to survive filled his entire heart, and the desperate negative emotions were transforming into cursed energy within his body, providing a constant stream of power to his eyes, until he felt that the cursed energy in his eyes was saturated.

Yuuki opened his eyes. There was a comma-shaped mark rapidly spinning in his scarlet pupils at this moment.

The actions of the three cursed spirits before him were instantly analyzed clearly.

This was the feeling, the power of the One-Tomoe Sharingan. The enemy's actions were like slow motion.

The Sharingan had been successfully activated. Next, he had to cover his hands with cursed energy and exorcise them!

"You guys move aside, leave these three to me." Yuuki lightly said, and then retreated to buy some time.

His eyes are different! Yuta and Maki, looking at his strange eyes, retreated to the side.

The three cursed spirits, under Yuuki's taunts, didn't pay attention to the two people to the side.

Yuta Okkotsu said, "Yuuki's eyes are different."

"Yeah, I'm not blind."

Maki Zenin, looking at Yuuki, who was deftly dodging the attacks of the three cursed spirits, slowly loosened the hands that were originally gripping the naginata, and praised:

"I didn't expect him to have some strength."

Facing the attacks of three cursed spirits, he could still dodge with ease in the narrow gaps. Was it thanks to those eyes?

Could he be a relative of Gojo-sensei?

But it didn't seem like it. Whether it was his appearance or the color of his hair, there was no similarity at all.

It was just that their personalities were somewhat similar, but if he just kept dodging, he wouldn't be able to beat these three cursed spirits.

It was a truly interesting experience. Their attack trajectories had been imprinted in his mind. He had the feeling that he could dodge their attacks even with his eyes closed.

But Yuuki knew that this feeling was very likely an illusion. After all, he couldn't show off like this, or he would die on the spot if he made a mistake.

His hands were now covered with scarlet cursed energy, and he could feel the increase in strength. This satisfying feeling was something he had never experienced in his previous life.

The feeling of fullness in his power.

Looking at the three cursed spirits who had been running around the track with him, Yuuki smiled, and seized the gaps in their attacks, reaching out his hands and directly crushing the eyes of two of the cursed spirits, causing them to lose their sight.

The other one opened its mouth at this moment, wanting to swallow this human in one bite.

"Do you also want to dance?"

Yuuki's scarlet pupils stared intently at this cursed spirit that was preparing to sneak attack him, and then he unleashed a full-force blow, directly punching a hole through it.

So powerful!

He hadn't expected this punch to be so powerful, but it was clearly not the time to be shocked.

The two cursed spirits to the side hadn't been eliminated yet. He had only made them lose their sight just now.

But they couldn't touch him even when they had eyes, so how could they possibly touch him when they didn't have eyes?

The two cursed spirits were easily eliminated. This first battle also greatly boosted Yuuki's confidence.

However, the aftereffects were a bit obvious. He had used the Sharingan for a bit too long, and the cursed energy in his body had been consumed a bit too much.

Looking at the mission panel, which was still short 7 cursed spirits, he took a deep breath and retracted the Sharingan.

If he kept it open, it would be a problem whether he could even take down one more. If he couldn't complete this mission here, then there would be no chance.

"Amazing!"

Yuta Okkotsu shouted. "This level is alright. If it were me, I would have directly killed these three cursed spirits."

Maki Zenin swung the naginata in her hand, and said with a confident expression.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yuuki's gaze was on the naginata in Maki's hand at this moment. If he had a cursed tool, he wouldn't have to waste so much time.

Most of the cursed energy in his body was wasted on his eyes.

Wait… Didn't he have one right here?

"Maki, can I use your cursed tool?"

"No."

Maki Zenin refused directly without even thinking about it.

Yuuki also knew that this was her life-saving tool, so he didn't continue to shamelessly ask for it.

Anyway, there was only one strong guy in this elementary school, and he could just pick the weak ones to fight.

The mission didn't limit the level of the cursed spirits. Even newly born cursed spirits counted as cursed spirits.

"If you won't give it to me, then I'll act alone. If anything happens, be sure to save me quickly."

"Don't do that, it's safer to act together."

As soon as Yuta Okkotsu finished speaking, Maki Zenin interjected: "You can, but don't die too quickly. I won't be protecting you two all the time."

"Of course, I'll be seeking your protection in the future."

Yuuki made a gesture of reassurance, and then walked into the teaching building to the side.

Yuta looked at Maki and asked, "Are you really not going to act together?"

No need. He's not weak. It's fastest to split up and search, as long as he can protect himself. Our current mission is to rescue the two missing children. Time is life.

Let's go take a look at the teaching building in front.

"Oh…" Yuta Okkotsu looked at Yuuki's back, his eyes filled with longing. He also wanted to become a hero who rescued others, instead of a perpetrator who harmed humans.

"Tap, tap, tap—"
