(3rd PoV)
Tachibana Yosuke stood between Teruhashi and the Cursed Spirit. She has exhausted her Cursed Energy, so he will have to fight it alone.
His immense Cursed Energy flared, covering entirety of his body. But despite having more Cursed Energy than Yuta due to his past life, Teruhashi who stood behind him didn't feel uncomfortable.
While Kashimo's Cursed Energy has electric trait, Hakari's has sandpaper like rough and gritty feel, Yosuke's Cursed Energy has the calm of Samsara like feel, helpful for his Cursed Technique [Reincarnation].
"Teruhashi! Go and wear black compression t-shirt and Hakama pants! It's cosplay of Toji, who has amazing physical ability despite having no energy! I will try to hold him off!"
Teruhashi nodded and ran to find such clothes for the cosplay. She didn't know this Toji character, but she will do her best to survive.
She is greatful to Tachibana. She suddenly found herself in a death game, so she is lucky that she has someone reliable leading the charge. And since his Cursed Technique is [Reincarnation], she has an inkling that Tachibana isn't in this death game for the first time. Maybe he is in a time loop, trying to save everyone?
If they survive this, she will ask him whether her assumptions are true or not.
Back at Tachibana, he was currently punching the Cursed Spirit, hoping to strike a Black Flash.
"Please... This item can't be returned..."
The Cursed Spirit, Store Clerk, is a humanoid with abnormally big head and sharp and long knives for his fingers, due to the strees of working as a store clerk when he was a human and getting stabbed. As a human, he could see the Cursed Spirits since he was 4, which led him to always live in fear, thinking that he has gone mad that he sees ghosts while no one else does.
He had no Cursed Technique and too little Cursed Energy, and Jujutsu High never got to know that he had the potential to be a sorcerer, and neither did he.
But then, an angry customer was trying to get a refund on a shirt he bought and spilled coffee on, and stabbed him with a knife upon refusal to return it.
Store Clerk died, leading to release of immense Cursed Energy due to death, and becoming a Cursed Spirit because he wasn't killed with Cursed Energy.
A semi grade 1 Cursed Spirit, which was caught by Kenjaku and then released in Culling Game as a player, was attacking these people who entered his store.
"Please... This item can't be returned..."
Yosuke dodged a stab attempt and punched it in the gut, sending it flying.
'I guess I have big amount of Cursed Energy, to have the reinforcement having such great strength.'
Yosuke had no real skill with Cursed Energy reinforcement, aside from covering his entire body in it and letting it run wild.
Store Clerk healed himself easily with Cursed Energy itself, but he was now in fear of Yosuke after getting hit once.
Yosuke ran towards it, and Store Clerk also started running to kill that girl, the weaker target.
Yosuke put more Cursed Energy in his legs, and his speed increased dramatically. He easily caught up to Store Clerk, whose back was completely defenseless.
He grabbed its back, and delivered a German Suplex.
"Aaaah..."
[5 points obtained]
Store Clerk died, and started turning to dust of Cursed Energy, and Yosuke decided to test his Cursed Technique on it, since he knew that this Cursed Spirit wasn't a big deal.
"Reincarnation."
Exactly what is 'Reincarnation'?
It's different from 'Rebirth', probably?
Yosuke thought that, maybe, his Cursed Technique allows not only himself and others to get resurrected, but also interfere in the nature of the entity he is reincarnating to a degree?
Afterall, in the religious texts that talk about reincarnation, there is a thing called not reincarnating as a human again due to bad karma.
Sadly, it didn't work the way he expected.
Even though he tried to put a condition on it to get reincarnated as a Shikigami, Store Clerk got reincarnated as a Cursed Spirit again without any changes, aside from the limited amount of Cursed Energy it had.
Yosuke beat it up again to an inch of its life, and grabbed a t-shirt nearby.
Can he reincarnate others into objects?
He grabbed the neck of the Cursed Technique with one hand, and the t-shirt with other.
"Reincarnation."
It was successful.
Store Clerk flowed into the t-shirt, and it became its new body. Knives erupted all over it. But it couldn't really move properly, due to being a t-shirt.
"Hi! I am Kogane! Do you want to participate in the Culling Game?"
Kogane appeared, and asked the T-shirt.
Oh!
Yosuke has found a loophole.
He can farm points this way, and head to Shibuya to search for his girlfriend!
At the very least, he has to confirm what exactly happened, and find her body to give her a funeral with her parents.
If her body didn't turn into ashes due to Sukuna's Domain Expansion.
