A few days later.
Chinatsu, acting as the homeroom teacher, started the practical subjugation classes against Grade 2 and higher Cursed Spirits for the first-year students at Jujutsu High.
If anyone were to ask why Chinatsu was substituting instead of the originally assigned first-year homeroom teacher, Satoru Gojo, Chinatsu would clench her fists, grit her teeth, and state with a look of utter helplessness that the brat had skipped out, claiming an overseas business trip as an excuse to go goof off.
"Older Sister! I'm leaving Jujutsu High to you!"
Satoru Gojo cheerfully sent this message from the airport and immediately turned off his phone; by the time Chinatsu saw the message, Satoru Gojo was already on the plane.
Chinatsu was furious then, wishing she could ignore the Binding Vow on her Cursed Energy, instantly transform into Homelander, fly up, chase the plane, and drag Satoru Gojo back down.
Of course, Chinatsu didn't end up doing that.
At this moment, she was leaning against a car door with her arms crossed, quietly observing the practical subjugation process of a Cursed Spirit carried out by Nobara Kugisaki and Megumi Fushiguro from a distance.
Nobara Kugisaki, holding a hammer in one hand and a handful of nails in the other, quickly rushed toward a ferocious-looking, non-humanoid Cursed Spirit.
"Straw Doll Technique: Rapid Shots!"
As Nobara tossed the nails into the air and struck them with the hammer in her other hand, streams of black Cursed Energy instantly pierced through the Cursed Spirit's body like lasers.
Seeing this, Nobara's lips curled into a slight smile; she had killed more than one Cursed Spirit back when she lived in the countryside, and in terms of raw power, she was definitely not an ordinary Third-Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.
However, a Cursed Spirit was not something that could be exorcised so easily; unlike the Reverse Cursed Technique, a healing method extremely difficult for humans to learn, regenerating their body was effortless for a Cursed Spirit.
As the Cursed Spirit consumed its own Cursed Energy to regenerate its damaged flesh, its already hideous face twisted even further, and it lunged wildly toward Nobara.
Nobara maintained her confident smile; her hand sign subtly changed, and in front of the lunging Cursed Spirit, she calmly snapped her fingers.
"Hairpin."
Instantly, the nails that had previously pierced the Cursed Spirit and were embedded in the distant wall erupted with black Cursed Energy again, piercing the Cursed Spirit once more from its back.
Although the Cursed Spirit could easily regenerate itself, doing so consumed the Cursed Energy that formed its very existence; facing a wound that it could not recover from even if it used up all its Cursed Energy, only one fate awaited it.
Bang!
The non-human Cursed Spirit fell to the ground in a heap, its body slowly beginning to dissipate like dust carried away by the breeze; seeing this, Nobara tilted her head back slightly, put her hands on her hips, and wore a proud expression.
"Hmph, hmph, job done, time to..."
Before Nobara could finish her sentence, an eagle-like shriek echoed from the sky.
It was one of Megumi Fushiguro's Shikigami: Nue!
Not only did it possess excellent aerial combat capabilities, but it could also release shocking electrical currents, making it a reliable presence whether for direct combat or support.
The next moment, a Cursed Spirit noticeably larger than the one Nobara had just dealt with plummeted from the air onto the ground.
"Max Elephant!"
Megumi Fushiguro's voice came from nearby, and as he formed a new hand sign, a mass of black shadow appeared above the Cursed Spirit that had been thrown to the ground.
A massive elephant descended from the black shadow; this was another Shikigami from the Ten Shadows Technique, enormous in size, capable of suppression simply through its weight, and the water jet sprayed from its trunk was a deadly technique.
With a deafening boom, the Max Elephant Shikigami crushed the Cursed Spirit beneath it; although the Cursed Spirit could still regenerate its flesh, the terrifying weight made it impossible to escape, forcing it to gradually dissolve into fragments of Cursed Energy under Max Elephant.
"Phew~ Job done."
Megumi Fushiguro exhaled, calmly uttering the line Nobara had intended to say; Nobara, having had her thunder stolen, glared at him huffily before crossing her arms and turning her head away.
Chinatsu, observing everything from afar, smiled faintly; although Nobara was still somewhat immature, with more training, becoming a standard Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer in the future would not be difficult.
Megumi Fushiguro, on the other hand, genuinely exceeded her expectations, making her think that Toji Fushiguro must have put immense pressure on his son.
She walked over to the two of them, smiling and clapping her hands, and gave them her critique in a teacherly manner.
"Nobara, for a Jujutsu Sorcerer like you, rather than deep research into your Cursed Technique, I believe focusing your training on Cursed Energy volume and physical combat techniques at this stage will yield more outstanding results."
Nobara's Cursed Technique is unique; even if she doesn't continue to deeply study its intricacies now, as long as the activation conditions for the Cursed Technique are met, Nobara's Cursed Technique can still produce extremely powerful effects.
However, the problem lies in the fact that activating the Cursed Technique requires the Jujutsu Sorcerers' raw strength; while a specialized fighter is certainly powerful, Jujutsu Sorcerers ultimately operate individually, and strengthening one's weaknesses is urgent when facing various unforeseen situations that may arise in the future.
Nobara nodded seriously at Chinatsu's advice; unlike when she first enrolled, she had already learned from Megumi Fushiguro exactly who the person standing before her was.
The current Head of the Gojo Family!
One of the Five Great Special Grade Sorcerers!
The main force that resolved the nationwide chaos half a year ago!
So... so... so cool!
Unlike Nobara's adoring gaze, Megumi Fushiguro nervously awaited Chinatsu's critique, his heart pounding.
"Megumi, besides that one, which other Shikigami can you still not summon?"
Chinatsu abruptly changed the topic and asked; Megumi Fushiguro was slightly stunned at first, then quickly replied after realizing the question.
"I still haven't fully tamed Yuanlu."
"Yuanlu, huh... that's quite good."
Chinatsu placed a hand on Megumi Fushiguro's head and cheerfully continued, addressing both of them: "Today's outside mission is finished. How about I treat you both to yakiniku?"
"Yes, please! Yes, please!"
Nobara excitedly raised her hand high, while Megumi Fushiguro felt a warmth in his heart from Chinatsu's recent evaluation.
However, the next moment, he recalled the scene before he enrolled, when he dueled his father and was instantly defeated; the slight upturn of his lips immediately dropped.
[You still have a long way to go!]
Toji Fushiguro chuckled as he stretched his limbs, looking down at his son lying on the ground staring at the sky. If it had just been that, it would have been fine, but then his Older Sister ran over to ask if Megumi Fushiguro was okay, dealing a critical blow to Megumi Fushiguro's pride.
Looking at Megumi Fushiguro's stubborn expression, Chinatsu internally complained once more that Toji Fushiguro had been too harsh.
Just as Chinatsu was taking the two students to a high-end yakiniku restaurant for a good meal, the phone in her pocket lit up with an emergency news alert.
[According to the Tokyo Observatory Meteor Monitoring Station, dozens of meteorites forming a meteor shower have deviated from their original trajectory and are highly likely to fall in the Tokyo suburbs tomorrow night...]
