Chapter 23 - Ch 23- Heartbreaking

Utahime looked at Satoru Gojo expressionlessly and questioned him calmly.

"Do you need something from me?"

Satoru Gojo felt that Utahime seemed to be in a bad mood, but he had no intention of chatting at the moment, so he directly stated his speculation.

"You should have heard about the events that have been happening one after another recently, right? Cursed Spirits of that level are popping up one by one, and even a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer ended up in such a state. I suspect someone in Jujutsu High is directly collaborating with Cursed Spirits or Curse Users, leaking relevant information."

Hearing this, Utahime immediately slapped the table and stood up, refuting him categorically.

"What are you talking about? How could such a thing be possible! With a Curse User is one thing, but how would one even contact a Cursed Spirit!"

"You haven't come into contact with them, so you can't understand. Those Cursed Spirits aren't just powerful; they also possess very high intelligence, and..."

Satoru Gojo thought for a moment about the latter half of his sentence and decided not to tell Utahime about Kiyotaka Ijichi's transformation into a Cursed Spirit for the time being.

"Then what if I'm that mole? What do you plan to do?"

Listening to Utahime's hypothetical words, the tragic state of Nanami and what Megumi Fushiguro said about Ijich becoming a Cursed Spirit reappeared in Satoru Gojo's mind. He swirled the water in his cup and spoke.

"Sorry, if it's about this matter, I won't forgive anyone, no matter who it is," Satoru Gojo said, his expression softening again. "But in your case, Utahime, it's impossible. How could someone so weak have that kind of courage?"

Annoyed, Utahime threw her water cup at Satoru Gojo, but unfortunately, it was blocked by his Limitless... Because they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the combat plan chosen by Jujutsu High this time was for everyone to scatter, making the elimination of the target Grade 2 Cursed Spirits the first priority.

The reason for this consideration was that even Nobara Kugisaki, the weakest in terms of strength, had the ability to exorcise a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit alone.

Compared to going head-to-head with Kyoto Jujutsu High, which had the Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer Aoi Todo, this method was more reasonable.

On the Kyoto Jujutsu High side, because of Yuji Itadori's absence from this Exchange Event, the incident where Yoshinobu Gakuganji intended for everyone to kill him naturally did not occur.

In fact, because of Tokyo Jujutsu High's numerical advantage, Yoshinobu Gakuganji had no intention of releasing Cursed Spirits at all.

Under this relatively 'peaceful' premise, the Exchange Event officially began.

Because the choices of both sides were very different from the original work, no overly intense battles broke out at the start of the competition. Instead, it became more pure, with both sides taking the competition seriously to end it early.

As their competition began, the personnel arranged by Kenjaku also began to move.

This time, it still started with Juzo Kumiya opening the Curtain, which set a restriction refusing entry to Satoru Gojo.

Even the personnel involved were the same, but the content of the action was completely different.

Haruta Shigemo looked at his severed arms and let out a shrill scream.

"I knew Cursed Spirits couldn't be trusted at all! You damn monsters! Aaaaaah!"

Mahito directly covered Haruta Shigemo's mouth with one hand and said with a smile.

"We are clearly humans, how can you call us monsters? That's quite heartbreaking~"

While Mahito spoke, his other hand swung a dagger, about to cut off Haruta Shigemo's head.

But something unexpected happened; Haruta Shigemo actually still had 'Stored Miracles' available to use at this time, and he narrowly dodged the strike by tilting his body.

But just this level of effort wasn't enough to save his life. Mahito extended his hand holding the dagger and still cut off Haruta Shigemo's head, completing the necessary condition for a Jujutsu Sorcerer to transform into a Cursed Spirit.

He kicked Haruta Shigemo's head next to Juzo Kumiya's, looked at the two heads, nodded with satisfaction, and muttered to himself.

"Counting from Nanami, this is the third one now. It would be great if I could kill them all this time."

This time, Mahito did not go directly to the Storage to seize Sukuna's fingers from the start, because that was not important to them since they had changed the plan.

After dealing with the two Curse Users, Mahito quickly rushed to meet up with Hanami.

When they entered the Curtain this time, they didn't find any Cursed Spirits released by Kyoto, and Mahito guessed it was due to the change in the plot.

After Mahito met up with Hanami, they saw Inumaki's figure from a distance. Mahito made a peering gesture and said to Hanami.

"It really is just like in the manga. Up ahead is that Cursed Speech User from Tokyo Jujutsu High. I'll handle the Jujutsu Sorcerers from Tokyo. Since I made a binding vow with someone from Kyoto, you'll need to handle the Kyoto people."

"Okay."

"Even if we know the plot, the time this Curtain can block Satoru Gojo is limited. We need to move faster."

As Mahito spoke, he performed a partial Idle Transfiguration on his feet. As the ground beneath him cracked, Mahito instantly disappeared from Hanami's side and appeared directly in front of Inumaki the next second.

Inumaki had already sensed Mahito's terrifying Cursed Energy immediately and even opened his mouth to release a Cursed Speech, but he was ultimately a step too slow.

Mahito directly reached out and thrust his hand into his mouth, forcibly terminating the Cursed Speech Inumaki was about to release.

"Mph...!" A look of terror appeared on Inumaki's face.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Let me guess what you want to say. It should be 'Don't move', right?"

As Mahito spoke, a brilliant smile appeared on his face. He just pulled hard and ripped out Inumaki's entire tongue.

Inumaki fell to the ground instantly under the pull of that force, as well as the brief distraction caused by the intense pain and shock.

Mahito casually tossed away the still-throbbing human tongue in his hand, took out a non-Cursed Tool dagger he had specially prepared from his pocket, and directly cut off Inumaki's head, completing the final step.

While Mahito took off Inumaki's clothes to put on himself, he used Idle Transfiguration to transform into Inumaki's appearance.

Hanami also arrived at this time, using a Cursed Technique to control plants to drag Toge Inumaki's corpse underground.

While Mahito adjusted the Jujutsu High school uniform to make it fit as well as possible, he said calmly.

"Among the remaining people, there are still two dangerous existences. One is Megumi Fushiguro, who can summon Mahoraga, and the other is Aoi Todo, who can use Boogie Woogie. Let's go."
