The first is to free all of humanity from cursed energy.
The second is to turn all humans into sorcerers.
But now, she leaned more toward the first option.
Suddenly, Yuki's expression shifted as if she had realized something.
Could Geto's descent into darkness back then have been influenced by what she had said...
No way...
Well, Geto's betrayal did happen shortly after their conversation.
But any sudden sense of guilt was quickly buried. Instead, a more pressing thought crossed her mind.
She became unusually serious, staring at "Geto" intently.
Seeing this, Todo tensed up and stood straight as if facing a formidable enemy.
Todo said, "Here we go!!"
Kusakabe said, "Ah? Todo, what are you talking about? What's coming? Is she about to unleash a big move?"
"If that's the case, let's just run— ahem, retreat!"
Kusakabe sheathed his sword, frowned, and subtly moved behind the crowd.
The next moment, Yuki stepped forward and said, "Since you've occupied Geto's body for so many years..."
"Then... you should know what kind of women he liked, right?"
"Tell me what I want to know, and I'll spare your life~"
"This is very important to me, just like collecting stamps at comic conventions~!"
As soon as she said this, excitement sparkled in her eyes as she eagerly looked at Kenjaku.
Not only the students but even Jogo and Uraume were speechless.
Are there any normal special-grade sorcerers in Jujutsu High?
They had researched information about them.
Okkotsu Yuta, who harbors pure love for a cursed spirit.
Yuki, who asks everyone about their type.
And the gambler who was fired long ago, Kinji Hakari.
So, was Kazuma actually the most normal one?
Kusakabe's mouth twitched violently and he said, "That's it? I thought she was about to use some powerful technique!"
Also, Todo, could you not act like you're facing a final boss?!
The moment he received orders to join the Shibuya battlefield, Kusakabe had made up his mindm
If he got even a single scratch, he would leave immediately.
Nothing was more important than his personal safety.
At the same time, Mai and the others in Todo's class finally understood.
So this was where Todo got his habit of asking people about their type?!
Kenjaku shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I hollowed out everything inside this body, including his brain."
"So, I can't answer your question."
"But when his memories were erased, nearly all of them revolved around Gojo Satoru. As for women... there were very few."
Hearing this, Kenjaku shot a glance at Jogo beside him.
The latter nodded, quietly shifting his gaze toward Kazuma, who still had his eyes closed in the air.
"Really? What a pity. Guess I'll just have to kill you then."
Yuki sighed, disappointed, and was about to activate her technique when—
Boom!
Jogo had bypassed everyone's sight and launched an attack on Kazuma in the sky.
"What?! When did he—!"
"Tsk! I didn't expect the sneakiest one to be this volcano head!"
Seeing this, Yuki had no choice but to abandon her technique and redirect her focus toward Jogo.
At the same time, the shikigami surrounding her coiled up and launched itself straight at Jogo.
Jogo shot across the city, landing atop a high-rise building.
A satisfied smirk crept onto his lips as flames roared in his hands.
In a flash, he appeared beside Kazuma.
Finally! A perfect opening!
"Even though it's a sneak attack, there's no helping it. You're just too strong."
"I will be the one to avenge Mahito and Hanami!"
As for Yuki's incoming attack, he wasn't concerned.
Clang!
Sure enough, a mirror-shaped cursed spirit materialized behind Jogo, deflecting Yuki's strike.
At the same time, Uraume unleashed another ice technique.
But this time, her target was only Todo—the one who could teleport others instantly.
The students watching gasped in horror.
If Kazuma gets hit, his technique will break, and Sukuna will be freed.
If that happens, Kazuma will either be seriously injured or die—then who could possibly stop Sukuna?!
Todo kept dodging the freezing attacks, but he had no opening to activate Boogie Woogie.
Only Utahime exhaled in relief, smiling.
"Finally... they took the bait."
High in the sky, Jogo's flame-covered hand was inches from Kazuma's chest.
If this attack lands while Kazuma is still unconscious, he'll be killed instantly.
However, in the next second—
Kazuma's eyes snapped open, and his hand clamped around Jogo's throat.
"It's easy to deal with you."
Boom!
A brutal whip kick connected with Jogo's face, twisting it out of shape as spit flew through the air.
Jogo crashed into the ground with a thunderous impact, tumbling like a ragdoll until he finally came to a stop at Kenjaku's feet.
Jogo clutched his swollen face, staring up at the sky in disbelief.
Kazuma stretched his neck and gazed downward with a smile.
H-How is this possible?!
When did he wake up?!
And since Sukuna hasn't escaped, that means the genjutsu is still active.
Does that mean… he had it all wrong from the start?
Even though Kazuma was the caster, his actions were never restricted?
In other words, Kazuma had always been awake.
Damn it! That cunning bastard was just playing along!
Jogo was impulsive and short-tempered, but that didn't mean he was a fool. The realization hit him instantly.
Kenjaku sighed, shaking his head.
He knew their plan to kill Kazuma had failed, but Sukuna still hadn't woken up.
Clearly, Sukuna alone wasn't enough to take Kazuma down.
"Haha."
Kenjaku chuckled at himself, glancing at the Prison Realm in his hand.
"Gojo… it seems you were right. He may very well take the mantle of the strongest of this era."
"But do you really think… this is all I've planned for over a thousand years?"
