Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Rat Is Exposed

That afternoon, Alex Moyan saw a miserable Yaga Masamichi with a bruised face and bandages stuck on him.

His left hand seemed to have been broken by Asami Mieka, as it was wrapped in bandages and held in a sling; the injuries were not light.

Seeing Yaga Masamichi in such a tragic state, Alex Moyan couldn't help but feel a bit of pity and guilt.

After all, this was all caused by my blame-shifting technique.

But if you ask me if I regret it or if I'm upset, I'm definitely upset.

Yaga Masamichi is my Sensei, after all!

He's like a father and a mother to me!

If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely still shift the blame.

Alex Moyan walked up to Yaga Masamichi, wanting to offer a solemn apology to make up for the guilt in his heart.

To Alex Moyan's surprise, Yaga Masamichi simply smiled as if it were nothing.

"It's fine, Alex. Teacher knows you didn't do it on purpose."

After saying that, Yaga Masamichi patted the head of Alex Moyan, who was slightly taller than him.

Just as Alex Moyan was moved, thinking that Teacher Yaga was truly a gentle, kindhearted man...

Unexpectedly, he was immediately locked in place by Yaga Masamichi in a chokehold.

"Principal! I've caught Alex Moyan, come quickly!"

Yaga Masamichi roared loudly.

Asami Mieka appeared like a demon, her long black hair dancing wildly under the shroud of Cursed Energy.

She slowly stepped out from the corner of the corridor.

"Yo, isn't this Classmate Alex whom we just met?"

"What a rare sight!"

Asami Mieka cracked her knuckles, making a series of crisp clicking sounds.

Alex Moyan watched Asami Mieka walking toward him step by step.

Alex Moyan panicked: "Teacher Yaga, you actually sold me out!"

Yaga Masamichi showed a look of disdain: "Hmph! You have the nerve to say that to me? You're the one who sold me out first!"

Alex Moyan thought about it; that seemed to be true.

Looking at Asami Mieka who was already right in front of him, Alex Moyan gave an awkward smile.

"Hehehe, Principal."

"Let's agree first, how about no hitting the face?"

Asami Mieka put on brass knuckles and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

"Don't worry, as the Principal, I know exactly how to hold back."

Thud thud thud...

Two hours later...

Alex Moyan was wrapped in the same style of bandages as Yaga Masamichi.

The Principal was a woman of her word; she really didn't hit Alex Moyan's face.

However, other places were a different story.

Seeing Alex Moyan being fixed up even more miserably than himself, Yaga Masamichi couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.

As expected, happiness comes from comparison.

Yaga Masamichi looked at Alex Moyan, who seemed a bit absent-minded after the beating.

He said, "Are you going to come with me to find Shoko?"

Alex Moyan turned his head toward Yaga Masamichi in confusion: "Why go find Shoko?"

Yaga Masamichi froze for a moment; Alex Moyan's words were clearly unexpected.

He muttered in his heart: "Doesn't this kid know that Shoko's Reverse Cursed Technique can heal others?"

Although a Jujutsu Sorcerer's physique is much stronger than an ordinary person's under the nourishment of Cursed Energy...

This kind of injury wouldn't heal quickly in a short time.

Only by finding Shoko Ieiri to use the Reverse Cursed Technique could he be healed the fastest.

Just as Yaga Masamichi thought Alex Moyan didn't know about this...

Alex Moyan directly tore off the bandages.

Under Yaga Masamichi's shocked gaze, Alex Moyan's injuries—were all healed!

"Nani!" Yaga Masamichi was shocked. Could this kid Alex Moyan also know the Reverse Cursed Technique?

Feeling Yaga Masamichi's shocked gaze, Alex Moyan gave a proud smile.

"Sensei, don't tell me you don't know the Reverse Cursed Technique."

Yaga Masamichi lowered his head in embarrassment for a moment and sheepishly scratched his cheek.

"No way! No way! Sensei, you really don't know the Reverse Cursed Technique!"

"I don't."

"That's so lame!" Alex Moyan teased Yaga Masamichi.

Then he began to treat Yaga Masamichi.

Even if Yaga Masamichi had set him up, he was still his teacher.

Besides, he had set him up first, so it was only fair for the teacher to get back at him.

After a while, Yaga Masamichi's treatment by Alex Moyan was complete.

Yaga Masamichi couldn't believe it; the kid not only knew the Reverse Cursed Technique but could also use it to heal others.

This, this... what a genius!

Yaga Masamichi had never seen such a monstrous existence.

For a moment, Yaga Masamichi even felt that Alex Moyan would surpass the future Satoru.

But after thinking about it, Yaga Masamichi shook his head, feeling it was impossible.

After all, from the moment Satoru was born, he had directly disrupted the entire structure of the Jujutsu World.

He even affected the balance of Yin and Yang!

It's just that the current Satoru hasn't completely awakened yet.

Once he awakens...

It will be like a carp leaping over the mountain, soaring into the sky!

He will become the overlord who truly dominates the entire Jujutsu World!

But Alex Moyan's talent was also something Yaga Masamichi had never seen in his life.

—————

The next day.

Alex Moyan, Satoru, and Geto Suguru were wandering around a busy street in Tokyo.

Alex Moyan looked sideways at Satoru and Geto Suguru.

One was leaning back so far he almost flipped over himself.

The other was bending forward as if he were giving a New Year's greeting to every passerby.

Looking from a distance, it looked like the character for 'eight' was walking down the street.

Alex Moyan was speechless and said, "Can you two walk a bit more normally?"

Drinking a cola and leisurely walking with a stride that disowned all relatives, Satoru looked at Alex Moyan, who had his hands in his pockets and was also walking quite cockily.

He showed a confused expression: "Are we... not normal?"

Geto Suguru also spoke up: "Yeah, I think it's pretty normal."

Alex Moyan complained in his heart: "This is normal?"

A few minutes later.

"Ah~~ this way of walking really tests the lower back."

On the street, Alex Moyan started imitating Satoru's walking posture.

It felt... indeed different!

Quite interesting.

Satoru chuckled: "See, I didn't lie to you."

Geto Suguru on the side also said: "Wait a bit and try mine too, it feels pretty good."

Alex Moyan nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll try it later..."

"Eh, wait, how did I get led astray by these two idiots!"

Alex Moyan realized belatedly, then found...

"Oh right, I'm an idiot too."

The strong are always unconventional.

From then on, another man with a high-difficulty walking posture appeared on this street.

"Suguru, Alex, let's go eat sweets."

Satoru's sweet tooth suddenly acted up, and he clamored to eat right now.

Geto Suguru and Alex Moyan had no choice but to accompany him.

Just as the three of them were heading to a dessert shop Satoru liked...

Alex Moyan paused, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

He made up a random excuse to part ways with Satoru and Geto Suguru.

"Finally, the rat's tail is out!"

Alex Moyan sighed with emotion; as expected, the Curse Users couldn't stop worrying about him.

They had sent someone to monitor him.

Alex Moyan had been running the The Art of Spirits Observation automatically at a minimal level.

Looking closely, one could detect a hint of white within Alex Moyan's amber-like eyes.
