I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Behind the sunglasses, Gojo Satoru's eyes were obviously worried.

"I'm fine, Satoru... Even so." Xia Youjie smiled bitterly and looked at the two people confronting each other on the field, "But the opponent is really too strong."

"Yeah, it really looks like a monster."

Bawanxi didn't lie, she really thought Fushiki Shiji was more dangerous than Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie is better at clearing out miscellaneous soldiers in legion battles, but cannot deal with powerful opponents.

Although Gojo Satoru can't be touched, which is quite tricky, his attacks can't do anything to Bawanxi who has magic EX, unless he can learn to reverse the spell and use [Spell Reversal· He] and the stronger [Xu Shi·茈].

For Bavanshi, who possesses EX-level anti-magic power, Fushihei Shir, who has pure physical power, is more threatening, and he also has a special-grade spell tool "Tianni Mou" that can break any spell.

OK, it’s decided.

"It's too troublesome to tear them apart one by one. Let's deal with them all at once!"

With a hearty smile, Bavanshi said words that made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Bawanxi didn't want to waste time anymore and used the Noble Phantasm directly.

The chill that penetrated into the spinal cord stimulated the three of them to use their own killing moves at the same time.

Fuhei Shi'er's figure turned into an afterimage, and the Tianni Mou in his hand cut off the sound of the wind.

Xia Youjie summoned her special magic spirit and ordered her to use her domain to wrap Bawanxi.

Gojo Satoru once again used the maximum output of [Spell Reversal: Blue], sucking in all the stone bricks on the ground and the surrounding buildings.

They all did everything they could at this moment.

...But this struggle is still powerless.

"The phantom cry of pain!"

Fill it up, fill it up, fill it up.

Be sad, be sad, be sad.

Bloom on the other side, flower of evil, flower of sin, flower of blood, flower of death.

Drop that despair, flower of evil, flower of sin, flower of blood, flower of death.

Full of holes, like a piece of rag, Xia Youjie fell into a pool of blood.

Can clearly feel the passage of life force.

Can clearly feel the fading of consciousness.

"Enlightenment...enlightenment..."

He was still calling his best friend's name.

The other person fell next to him, and it seemed that he could reach him just by raising his hand.

"Riko...Riko..."

He was still calling the name of the person he was supposed to protect.

The opponent was covered in blood and was caught in the hands of the demonic girl.

"I'm going to turn in my mission. I had a lot of fun today."

"Let's play again next time."

The girl smiled like a devil and whispered the sarcasm that only a devil could have.

It turns out that our efforts, our fight to the death...are they just play to her?

Ah... we sure did...

Is it too weak...?

Chapter 20 Just a nightmare

"!!!"

As if he had just been fished out of the water, sweat soaked his clothes and dripped from the ends of his hair to the ground. His voice was easily covered by his heavy breathing.

The phantom pain still remained in his body. Xia Youjie couldn't help but shiver at the pain of countless bone spurs slicing blood vessels, puncturing internal organs, and dislodging bone marrow.

My brain felt heavy and painful, as if it had been thrown into a high-powered blender.

But he couldn't stop thinking.

"here it is……"

"Hey, have you finally woken up? Did you have a nightmare? You're out of your mind."

Only then did Xia Youjie realize that he was lying on the big iron bed in the morgue. Next to him was a girl dressed in black with a careless smile on her face.

This girl, who was just a high school student and had a cigarette in her mouth and a bad look, was also a classmate of Gojo Satoru and Natsumi Kei, named Ieiri Glass.

The enrollment rate at Magic High School has always been very low, and there are only three of them in the second grade of this school.

Ieiri Nisoko is the only one among the three who can use the reversal technique, because the essence of the curse is negative energy. The reversal technique is to reverse negative energy into positive energy, which can treat physical injuries.

Therefore, Iarujiaji usually does not go out on missions, but stays behind to treat those who have left the battle.

"Glass...? Did you cure me?"

"Well..."

Xia Youjie subconsciously thought that he had been treated by Jiarujiazi. He did not notice Jiarujiazi's hesitation, but massaged his forehead to relax his groggy brain.

Riko... was taken away.

It's all because I'm too weak...

The right hand on the leg slowly clenched into a fist, not letting go even when the nails dug into the flesh.

"...Where's Satoru?"

Why didn't I see Gojo Satoru?

Where has he gone?

"Ah, if you are looking for Wutiao." Iaru Glass held the cigarette with two fingers and pointed to the door with the cigarette butt, "He went to find the woman who sent you here."

The woman who sent us here?

An evil smile that sent chills all over his body flashed in his mind, and Xia Youjie's pupils tightened.

Satoru went to find her alone? !

Was he hit in the head? ! !

"Bang!"

Looking at the broken door, Iaizhi tilted his head in confusion.

Forget it, I'll just smoke my cigarette.

Xia Youjie ran alone in the corridor.

He was unwilling to accept that he was unable to protect the people he wanted to protect and that he did not have enough strength.

He was very angry. He was angry that he had been sitting in a well and thinking that he could do anything as long as he was with Wu.

But he was very calm and rational, and he was not overwhelmed by the fire of anger.

"We are now... powerless."

Because he had no power, he could only watch Riko die helplessly.

Because he had no power, he was not even qualified to let the enemy take a second look.

Because he had no power, he could not take revenge on her.

"Wu... you must not do stupid things!"

When he ran out of the building, he remembered that he didn't know where the woman was.

"The female curser didn't wear the uniform of the 'Q' organization, so she should be a curser hired by the Panxing Cult. She must have taken Riko's body to collect the bounty, so she must go to the Panxing Cult's territory later!"

Thinking of this, Xia Youjie immediately wanted to find someone to inquire about the places where the Panxing Cult often gathered in this city.

Because of his haste, he almost bumped into someone when passing a corner.

"Be careful!"

Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand to stop the other person from falling backwards, but before he could say the words of apology, his brain went into a state of shutdown.

"Huh? It's you! You finally woke up!"

Just listening to her voice made people feel that she was a lively and cheerful girl who was disturbing.

Wearing a white scarf, a black single braid, and a school uniform similar to a sailor uniform.

"Riko..."

The person who should have died suddenly appeared in front of him, making Xia Yujie's thinking stagnate, and he even forgot to let go of the other person's hand.

"Sama Xia Yujie." The maid lady Kuroi Misato showed her presence next to Tenriko, and then Xia Yujie realized that there was another person here.

"Miss Kuroi? You too...you..."

Everything that happened in front of him made Xia Yujie doubt that he was dreaming for a while, and his mouth opened and closed for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.

"Hahaha! You must be shocked! Not only am I not dead, I am alive and kicking in front of you!"

Riko Tennen laughed out loud. This is her true nature. She is a middle school student and casual, and she is very sentimental.

Ah, it seems that this is not a dream.

Ketsu Suguru rubbed his swollen temples, but a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"I am a little confused about the situation, so what is the situation now?"

Ketsu Suguru looked at Riko Tennen, who blinked and then looked at the maid.

"Uh..." The maid showed an embarrassed expression, "Actually, I don't quite understand it either. How about letting Lord Gojo Satoru and Lord Bawanshi explain it to you?"

Bawanshi?

The moment he heard this name, his intuition told Ketsu Suguru that this was the name of the female curser.

Well, there are more questions.

However, from the current known situation...

"That curse master is indeed the key to this incident."

From Tenriko and the maid, Geto Suguru also learned the whereabouts of Gojo Satoru and Bawanshi.

Unexpectedly but seemingly reasonable, the two were also in Jujutsu High School, and in Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's classroom.

Many parts of the teaching building of Jujutsu High School are made of wood, which looks very old and brittle.

The walls are made of wood, the floors are made of wood, the tables and chairs are made of wood, and the podium and classroom doors are also made of wood.

Before arriving at the classroom, Geto Suguru heard the sound of talking...or quarreling.

Few students would open or close the classroom door peacefully, and Geto Suguru was the same, and he was in a hurry now.

Fortunately, the classroom doors in Japan are generally opened horizontally, otherwise this door might have been kicked open by Geto Suguru, and it is even more likely that it would have been kicked over by the careless Gojo Satoru earlier.

The sound of the door opening suddenly stagnated the lively atmosphere in the room, and three pairs of eyes looked at Geto Xiayou standing at the door at the same time.

The girl in a bright red dress sat on a chair, her right leg folded on her left leg, looking at him with a mischievous smile in her gray eyes.

The girl with gray shoulder-length hair lowered her head and waited beside her, with a bit of nervousness in her eyes, not daring to look him in the eye, and seemed not very good at dealing with strangers.

And the last one...

"Satoru..."

He gently called the name of the last person, who was his only best friend.

"What's wrong, Jie, you look like you're about to cry." Gojo Satoru still looked like a jerk, but his silver eyes couldn't stop showing deep affection.

"Are you crying?"

"Stupid, how could I cry?"
