Rosen led the group out of Jujutsu High, only to see a girl standing at the entrance, a sword strapped to her back.
The girl had a ponytail, wore glasses, and was tall, yet no one could sense even a trace of Cursed Energy from her.
Upon seeing the girl, Rosen immediately smiled and walked up to her.
"Little girl, become my Disciple."
The girl looked up at Rosen: "You should be able to tell, I have no Cursed Energy."
"I know, Heavenly Restriction, Second Generation Tyrant."
Maki Zen'in! Rosen gazed at the girl before him.
This one possessed the exact same talent as Fushiguro Toji / Toji Fushiguro.
And at such a young age, she already had the combat power to tear apart a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit.
Maki Zen'in suddenly drew her sword and, without warning, slashed at Rosen.
Rosen directly reached out and gripped the blade, Maki Zen'in exerted force, but she couldn't advance an inch, nor could she retract her sword.
Maki Zen'in's eyes showed shock, because Rosen, before her, hadn't used even a tiny bit of Cursed Energy; he had simply gripped her blade with his bare flesh and blood.
Rosen released his hand, Maki Zen'in retracted her sword, and immediately knelt on the ground, palms flat, head resting on the back of her hands.
"Please teach me, Teacher."
"This is Panda, this is Amanai Riko / Riko Amanai, this is Kento Nanami / Nanami Kento, this is Yuta Okkotsu / Okkotsu Yuta; they are all your Seniors."
Maki Zen'in also greeted everyone one by one.
"Teacher, do you know Fushiguro Toji / Toji Fushiguro?" Maki Zen'in asked.
"Not just know, I once beat him like a grandson, and I also once beat him as if he were my grandson."
The addition of Maki Zen'in did not hinder the purpose of their trip.
On the way, Rosen explained their mission.
In Aim Forest, five Grade 1 Cursed Spirits had appeared, and three groups of Jujutsu Sorcerers had already come to subdue them, all wiped out.
Just outside Aim Forest, two more people arrived from another path.
One of them was Yuki Tsukumo, and the other was her Disciple, Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo.
Yuki Tsukumo looked at Rosen and the others, a little surprised.
"Mr. Luo, did you also receive a commission to subdue the Cursed Spirits?" Yuki Tsukumo asked.
"I am leading a practical lesson."
"How about a competition to see whose students eliminate more Cursed Spirits?" Yuki Tsukumo asked.
Rosen glanced at the group behind him: "You all heard that, right? With so many of you, don't lose to this kid."
"Hey, who are you calling a kid?" Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo looked at Rosen in dissatisfaction.
Although he looked a bit mature for his age, he was only sixteen.
"Kid, I'll kill you! If you dare to be so disrespectful again." Rosen glared at Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo.
"Todo, let them know your strength." Yuki Tsukumo said: "Don't embarrass me."
"Got it." Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo stretched his neck, looking full of vigor.
Rosen's Shadow stealthily attached itself to Maki Zen'in.
Maki Zen'in initially thought it was some Cursed Technique, but then Shadow quietly whispered a few words into Maki Zen'in's ear.
"Go in."
Besides Panda, Amanai Riko / Riko Amanai, Kento Nanami / Nanami Kento, Yuta Okkotsu / Okkotsu Yuta, Maki Zen'in, and Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo entered the forest simultaneously.
As soon as they entered the forest, Maki Zen'in, without warning, drew her sword and slashed at Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo.
Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo was startled and quickly backed away: "Crazy woman, what are you doing?"
Maki Zen'in had a smile on her face: "Nothing, just feel like cutting someone, that's all."
Amanai Riko / Riko Amanai and the others immediately stopped: "Maki, what's going on?"
"As long as I keep him occupied, and you eliminate the Cursed Spirits, we can win this gamble." Maki Zen'in said.
"Keep me occupied?" Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo looked at Maki Zen'in with a sneer: "You really dare to say that."
"Let's go, we'll deal with the Cursed Spirits." Kento Nanami / Nanami Kento said.
Anyway, Maki Zen'in and Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo were not truly fighting to the death, so it didn't matter who won or lost.
However, regarding Rosen and Yuki Tsukumo's gamble, if their side lost, Rosen would definitely vent his anger on them.
Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo and Maki Zen'in both had explosive tempers and immediately started fighting.
Both were masters of constitution, but Maki Zen'in used swordsmanship, while Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo was unarmed, so he was at a great disadvantage.
Furthermore, Maki Zen'in's constitution was clearly superior to Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo's.
Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo could only activate his exclusive Cursed Technique, Boogie Woogie.
Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo's Boogie Woogie was a Cursed Technique that heavily tested one's intelligence.
Despite Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo's bulky appearance, he actually possessed very high combat intelligence.
