Chinatsu, who had accidentally unleashed a Black Flash, gasped slightly, carefully sensing the subtle changes in the Cursed Energy within her body. After exhaling deeply, her entire body relaxed.
"I really did it. It seems sometimes you just have to push yourself…" Chinatsu stretched her limbs, mumbling softly.
No one in the Jujutsu World could intentionally unleash a Black Flash, yet there was a huge gap between Jujutsu Sorcerers who had unleashed a Black Flash and those who never had.
After unleashing the Black Flash, Chinatsu could clearly feel her Cursed Energy flowing more smoothly; she felt as if she had entered an invincible state. If it weren't for the fact that a single hit would finish off a Cursed Spirit, Chinatsu might have landed a few more punches and even gotten lucky enough to unleash another Black Flash.
Soon, Chinatsu's attention fell on the scarred finger lying on the ground at her feet. She bent down, picked up the finger, and held it high, staring intently at it.
Her eyes, as blue as the sky stretching into the distance, seemed to want to pierce through the finger's direction to see the soul of Sukuna residing within it.
The finger-bro, who had been dazed for a thousand years inside this finger, was also brought back to his senses by this gaze. He raised his head, puzzled by the peculiar attention.
However, by this time, Chinatsu had already tucked it into her pocket, no longer bothering with him, and set off on her return journey to Jujutsu High.
At the same time, Gojo Satoru, who had just finished a Jujutsu mission and excitedly ran into an arcade on the way back, suddenly felt an itch in his nose. After a big sneeze, his whole body shivered uncontrollably.
"Satoru, are you catching a cold?" Geto Suguru asked with concern, looking at Gojo Satoru shivering.
Gojo Satoru wrapped his arms around himself, his head down, with a subtle expression on his face.
Just a simple cold?
No, this felt more like an ominous premonition.
A few seconds later, Gojo Satoru's phone in his pocket rang with a "Ding! Ding! Ding!" He involuntarily swallowed, then slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.
The screen lit up, and the message opened.
When he saw Chinatsu's message on the screen, Gojo Satoru's hand, holding the phone, trembled uncontrollably, his expression desolate.
"Satoru! What's wrong with you?!"
Geto Suguru was startled, even thinking Gojo Satoru had suffered a mental attack, though for Gojo Satoru, it was pretty much the same thing.
He tremblingly turned the phone screen towards Geto Suguru and said with a bitter smile, "Black Flash, Older Sister is cheating again..."
Afterward, Gojo Satoru no longer had any mood to play arcade games and once again entered a state of doubled effort.
He didn't want to be left behind by Chinatsu. Moreover, his goal was not just to avoid being left behind, but to surpass his Older Sister, to become a strong person who could playfully smack his Older Sister's head and make her call him 'Older Brother'.
Of course, Chinatsu would not give him that chance.
Wanting to overturn the sibling hierarchy… Dream on!
Time flew by, and Gojo Satoru finally triggered a Black Flash during a Jujutsu mission against a top-tier Grade 1 Cursed Spirit.
Geto Suguru recalled that he just stood by and watched. Gojo Satoru not only didn't use long-range attacks but even lowered his output limit. With "Cursed Energy" covering his hands, he clenched them into fists and treated this Cursed Spirit as a punching bag.
And with the unremitting efforts of Gojo Satoru and this Cursed Spirit, as black, lightning-like light flashed, this Cursed Spirit, which had been treated as a punching bag, finally wept as it was exorcised and turned into nothingness.
Now the two were back on the same track. However, just as Gojo Satoru wiped his sweat and prepared to brag to his Older Sister, he found Chinatsu seriously seeking advice from Shoko.
Although Shoko's Reverse Cursed Technique was abstract, Chinatsu utilized the characteristic of entering a "120%" invincible state after unleashing a Black Flash, specifically training in this state.
Over time, Chinatsu had somewhat touched upon a sliver of the threshold… probably.
Perhaps, she still needed to push herself harder.
An absurd thought, to perhaps stab herself, flashed through Chinatsu's mind, but the next moment she shook her head, shaking the thought out of her mind.
Suddenly, her phone in her pocket vibrated. Chinatsu curiously pulled out her phone, opened it, and saw that it was a call from Yaga.
"Hello~ Is there something?"
"There's a mission. Are Satoru and Suguru with you? If so, bring them along. We'll discuss it in detail in the classroom."
"Osu~"
Chinatsu's flippant words made Yaga's eyebrows furrow. He had intended to say more, but the next moment, the call was unilaterally hung up by Chinatsu.
Chinatsu looked at Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, who were right beside her, and briefly repeated what Yaga had said. The two turned to look at each other, shrugged, and then walked with Chinatsu to the Jujutsu High classroom.
At this moment, their homeroom teacher, Yaga Masamichi, stood in front of the blackboard and podium. Chinatsu and the others sat in their respective seats as if in a normal class, waiting for Yaga to speak.
"Suguru, Satoru, Chinatsu, a very important task has fallen upon us. It's a mission personally assigned by Master Tengen."
As Yaga spoke these words, Gojo Satoru remained unmoved, Geto Suguru showed a confused expression, and Chinatsu's face revealed a solemn look.
Finally… is it coming?
Tengen, a figure who has existed for a thousand years, is a Jujutsu Sorcerer who possesses the [Immortal Cursed Technique]. Her barrier technique is excellent, and most of the barriers deployed throughout the Jujutsu World are arranged and even strengthened by Tengen, making her an extremely important figure in the Jujutsu World.
However, her Cursed Technique is only "immortality," not "eternal youth." Her body will age with time and cultivation. When it reaches the limits of humanity, this Cursed Technique will force her to evolve, becoming a higher-dimensional existence.
But this is not a good thing, because even Tengen doesn't know what she will become after evolving, or whether she will lose her sanity and become a threat to the world.
Therefore, to prevent this from happening, every 500 years she needs a young human with a very high compatibility rate to merge with her, so that the information of the young body overrides the aging information.
And these young humans are called "Star Plasma Vessels."
Yaga looked at the three somewhat unreliable individuals in front of him, and couldn't help but raise a hand to cover his forehead. But there was nothing he could do; after all, these three young individuals were already among the top Jujutsu Sorcerers in the Jujutsu World.
"In short, Master Tengen's assimilation with the Star Plasma Vessel will be at the full moon two days from now. You must protect that Star Plasma Vessel girl and deliver her to Master Tengen. Failure is not an option, understood?!"
In response to Yaga's serious words, a series of listless "Oh~"s came from below. Yaga's face twitched slightly, feeling empty inside and completely uncertain…
