"They were completely wiped out." Having read the report, Yaga looked toward the training ground with a grave expression, when an aged voice came from behind him.

"Why didn't you let those kids go? They've handled Special Grade missions many times before, haven't they?"

Yaga turned around to look behind him; the person who had arrived was the current principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

"Whenever it comes to matters involving this Cursed Spirit, that child, Genji, becomes extremely impulsive and reckless. In that state, he is unable to perform his mission well," Yaga explained to the principal.

"Oh."

The old man didn't react much to Yaga's explanation, simply saying to him in a flat tone, "Yaga, do not let your emotions affect your judgment."

After speaking, he turned and left Yaga's office. Yaga did not refute the principal's words, only watching Genji on the training ground with a grave gaze.

"Openings!" On the training ground, Genji was thrown to the ground by Mei Mei once again.

"Student Genji, your mind doesn't seem to be on training today," Mei Mei said to Genji, who was receiving treatment from Shoko. "Is something the matter?"

"Rest for a while and adjust your state of mind."

"I'm fine, Ms. Mei Mei, please continue," Genji insisted to Mei Mei.

Seeing this, Mei Mei didn't say anything more, simply waving her hand to let Genji return to the training ground.

A few hours later, after training ended, Genji didn't say anything to the others and went straight back to the dormitory. Shoko watched Genji's back with some concern.

"Genji, are you really okay?"

"I'm fine, Shoko, I'm just a bit tired, so I'm heading back to the dorm."

With a grin, Genji left the training ground. Shoko then turned to look at the remaining Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.

"Do you two know what's wrong with Genji?"

"Not sure. He's been like this since this morning. Something must have happened last night, but I didn't even return to Jujutsu High last night. Satoru, do you know anything?" Geto Suguru turned to look at Gojo Satoru and asked.

"No clue. Yesterday, I went back to the dorm after buying cream daifuku." Clearly, Gojo Satoru had no idea about this either.

Hearing this, Shoko didn't say anything more to the two of them, just looked in the direction Genji had left with some worry.

The next day, on the training ground,

"That guy Genji is so slow! Did he pull an all-nighter playing games again?" Gojo Satoru complained. They had already been waiting there for nearly 30 minutes, but Genji still hadn't appeared.

"Let's go to the dorm to find Genji. I'm a bit worried," Shoko said to the group.

"Sure! I'm going to prank him good. Should I draw little turtles on his face, or stuff ice cubes into his quilt?" Gojo Satoru excitedly planned.

"Gojo, shut up," Shoko said coldly to Gojo.

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru immediately made a zipping motion across his mouth, indicating he wouldn't speak again. There was no helping it; at Jujutsu High, the young master Gojo dared to provoke anyone, but he dared not provoke Shoko. Otherwise, when Shoko treated you, she would really make you understand what pain was.

At the dormitory, Gojo Satoru quietly snuck into Genji's room, and just as he planned to pounce onto Genji's bed, he was surprised to find that Genji was not in the room.

"Where is Genji?" The others entered Genji's room as well.

"It looks like Genji hasn't been in the dorm since last night," Geto Suguru analyzed after looking around the room.

"Let's go ask Teacher Yaga; maybe he'll know something."

After Shoko spoke, the group quickly hurried toward Yaga's office.

Time to go back to last night. After training, Genji returned to the dormitory, washed up briefly, and lay on his bed. His thoughts were in turmoil, and he couldn't sleep at all. It was the same during training today; the matter of that Cursed Spirit kept circling in his mind, making him unable to concentrate.

"Sigh." Genji lay on the bed and let out a deep sigh. He naturally noticed Shoko's concern for him, but his current state was definitely not suitable for heart-to-heart talks.

Suddenly, Genji felt an unusual yet familiar aura.

"It's that guy! Why is it at Jujutsu High? Didn't Master Tengen's Barrier detect it?"

The situation was urgent. Genji didn't have time to think; he grabbed his jacket, put it on, and jumped out the window. Following the aura, he arrived at the back hill of Jujutsu High, where he saw that pale figure.

"Genji." The Gun Cursed Spirit's hoarse, low voice rang out.

"I've finally found you, you bastard. You must have been happy hiding for 10 years!" Genji gritted his teeth and looked at the Cursed Spirit in front of him.

"10 years ago, I swore that I would twist your gun barrel into a pretzel!" As he said this, Genji used Cursed Energy to strengthen his body. He put force into his legs and, in the blink of an eye, rushed in front of the Cursed Spirit and threw a punch.

But the Cursed Spirit didn't seem to want to tangle with Genji here; as Genji rushed up, it turned and ran away. The punch missed. Seeing the Cursed Spirit escaping, Genji didn't think twice and gave chase immediately.

Just like that, the human and the Cursed Spirit chased each other all night. After dawn, they stopped inside a factory in the suburbs of Kanagawa. Finally, the Cursed Spirit stopped its footsteps and stopped running away.

Seeing this, Genji also stopped, maintaining a distance of about 10 meters from the Cursed Spirit.

"Why aren't you talking? If I remember correctly, you were quite talkative 10 years ago. What's wrong, are you scared?" Genji mocked the Cursed Spirit.

"Genji..." The Cursed Spirit still maintained its low, hoarse voice, repeating Genji's name word by word.

Seeing this, Genji completely lost patience. He activated his Forbidden Technique, and flames formed several slashes that struck toward the Cursed Spirit.

The Gun Cursed Spirit didn't react much, simply raising an arm. A terrifying barrage of firepower poured out, blocking all of Genji's attacks.

The probing ended. Genji gathered flames on his forearms and hands, forming two flaming beast claws, and rushed toward the Cursed Spirit. While retreating, the Cursed Spirit unleashed its maximum firepower at Genji. Countless Cursed Energy bullets swept toward Genji, but they were all burned to nothing by the deep blue flames surrounding his body.

The human and the Cursed Spirit constantly changed their positions. Countless Cursed Energy bullets poured out, colliding with flame slashes and arrows. They exploded, and the light of the explosions illuminated the entire factory.

Seeing that he was unable to close the distance, Genji paused after a brief thought. He released an attack composed of multiple combined slashes toward the Cursed Spirit, but it had no real effect.

Boom! Another collision between the composite slashes and a large number of Cursed Energy bullets caused a huge explosion. Taking advantage of the smoke generated by the explosion, Genji quickly shifted his position, dodging the bullets the Cursed Spirit was firing in all directions due to losing sight of him.

While dodging bullets, Genji ignited flames on his hands again. This time, he didn't launch an attack immediately; instead, he formed hand signs with both hands. Flames danced between his hands, and then, as Genji stretched out his arms, a deep blue flame arrow containing powerful Cursed Energy formed between his hands, flickering constantly.

As the dust raised by the explosion settled, the Cursed Spirit finally discovered Genji's position, but by then, Genji had already completed his charge.

"Forbidden Technique Lapse — Destruction · Boom!"

The flame arrow, containing immense destructive power, was fired at the Cursed Spirit. In its haste, the Cursed Spirit concentrated Cursed Energy onto the gun barrel on its head and fired its strongest bullet. The two collided; the bullet was dissolved by the flame arrow, while the flame arrow was affected by the bullet, deviating from its path and finally landing at the Cursed Spirit's feet.

Boom! The arrow burst forth with powerful flames, covering the entire Cursed Spirit. Half the factory was caught in this attack, and even the area around the factory was shrouded in the glow of the deep blue flames, as bright as day.

After the dazzling flames and explosion sounds vanished, the Cursed Spirit, with more than half its body gone, appeared on the ground, crawling. Just as the Cursed Spirit tried to raise its only remaining intact arm, Genji appeared in front of it. A flash of fire passed, and the Cursed Spirit's last arm was also severed.

Looking at the Cursed Spirit at his feet, now reduced to a limbless torso, Genji could no longer suppress his hatred and stomped on the Cursed Spirit.

"I said I wouldn't make it easy for you!" With a ferocious look, Genji grabbed the revolver barrel on the Cursed Spirit's head, and the next second, he exerted force with his hands, forcibly twisting the gun barrel 720 degrees.

"With this, it's over." Just as Genji was preparing to end the life of his enemy before him, an accident occurred.

"Bang." With the sound of a gunshot, Genji looked in disbelief at the gunshot wound appearing on his chest.

"Damn it," Genji thought last before falling. "I was careless." Subsequently, Genji's consciousness fell into darkness.
