Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

Su Ze picked up his wooden sword with a slightly melancholy look.

( '-w?? )

Xia Yujie walked with him to the shade of the tree.

After all, reality is different from comic novels - those operations that claim that one can master them just by having extraordinary talent or weapons are extremely unrealistic.

At least the skills learned in the Kendo Club and the Children's Palace are not very consistent with actual combat... In other words, it takes a considerable amount of time to get used to and adapt.

"We are all here, so it's a good opportunity to discuss it~" Glass stood up with the help of her knees and looked up at the two of them.

"About the exchange meeting next week..." Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows and said without thinking.

"I don't think there's anything to say—" Gojo Satoru took a big bite of the ice cream, and the ice chips made him grimace, "...I can take them all down by myself!"

...This seems to be true.

Whether it is the unlimited technique or the six eyes, both of them can be regarded as universal magic weapons to deal with curses.

What's more, there is also extremely powerful attack method.

"Forget it, Wu, you should beat Ze first before you say that--" Xia Youjie raised his head, and his bangs flew along with its owner.

"Now you are the only one here who has never defeated Ze--" said the strange Liu Hai with a smug and arrogant look on his face.

"Hey, here only Ze Jin and I have practiced with all our strength, okay!" Gojo Satoru was dissatisfied, pointing his popsicle at Geto Suguru and said, "These little fights are nothing. If we want to decide the winner, of course we have to try our best! You are just taking advantage of me--"

——Taking advantage of the fact that Su Ze cannot use a knife now.

After hearing this, classmate Su Ze became even more melancholy.

(.??︿??.)

"Besides," Gojo Satoru changed the subject, "Hasn't Nazo ever defeated Ze?" He pointed at Nazo casually.

Glass, who was suddenly cueed, raised her eyebrows slightly.

Geto Xiayou smiled playfully: "That's just what you think..." He pinched his chin lightly, "If Nazo wants to win... then she will definitely win~"

These words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but Gojo Satoru didn't understand the meaning at the moment.

"What do you mean? Does Glass have any secret tricks? Or has Ze's weakness been discovered--" Gojo Satoru suddenly became interested.

"Who knows? You probably have to ask the person himself~" Xia Yujie added fuel to the fire with a smile.

So Gojo Satoru immediately turned around and said, "Nitro—"

"Okay, let's talk about the exchange meeting--" Glass interrupted directly.

"Glass, you and Ze——"

"What methods and tactics should we use in this exchange meeting are issues worth discussing--" Su Ze spoke immediately, interrupting the curious baby Gojo Satoru's questions again.

"Ze, do you have--"

"Satoru (Gojo), if you ask irrelevant questions again, I will kick you out--" The two said in unison, turning to look at Gojo Satoru at the same time, their eyes cold and ruthless.

"Huh?" Gojo was interrupted again, and didn't understand why.

Then, Glass looked past Gojo Satoru and stared at Geto Suguru, who pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.

"So, what is the format of the exchange meeting?" The topic finally got back on track.

"It should be the same as before, with group competition. The format should be similar to previous years - probably minus the cursed spirit scoring, with a certain degree of competition." Glass said slowly. She has looked up relevant information these days and asked Angehime about it.

"Come to think of it, that's right. What new ideas can those old-fashioned people come up with?" Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction and twirled his ear with his little finger.

Geto Suguru smiled helplessly. What Gojo Satoru said was still harsh, but it was indeed true.

Anything that stagnates for a long time will lag behind the times and become incompatible with the current situation - such as the current world of sorcery.

However, there seems to be no better alternative for the time being, so, before the new "Tao" appears, maintaining the status quo is indeed the best way...

——Tsk, why are you thinking of somewhere else again?

Xia Youjie shook his head in amusement. What was he worrying about? These things were not what he should be thinking about right now. He just needed to do his daily physical training well, master more knowledge of spells, and then practice more with Ze...

After all, he didn't have the innate talent that Gojo Satoru had, although the Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique seemed equally extraordinary to outsiders. However, how many people knew the bitterness and hardship involved?

He does not have the grand ambition to take charge of the overall situation or shoulder the responsibility of the world alone.

For him, it's just a matter of accumulation.

"...Jie, Jie——" Gojo Satoru yelled with a somewhat impatient tone.

"Huh? What's wrong..." Xia Youjie seemed to wake up from a dream.

“Really? What are you doing?” Gojo Satoru rubbed his hair unhappily and continued, “I said, I can deal with those guys in Kyoto by myself - you just need to go and reap the victory. But those two guys disagreed. They said that for safety reasons, they should act together -”

Gojo Satoru nudged the two people behind him with his thumbs. Suze and Nishiko also looked at Geto Suguru seriously, probably waiting for him to reject Gojo Satoru's radical style of play.

Xia Youjie was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Hey, what are you laughing at? Do you know—"

"I understand," Xia Youjie laughed so hard that he fell backwards, holding his stomach. The indomitable spirit that he had always lacked was fully reflected in his best friend.

"No, what I want to say is..." Xia Youjie rubbed his stomach, stood up straight, and put one hand on Gojo Satoru's shoulder.

"I support you."

Now it was Su Ze and Gao Zi's turn to be surprised.

"Everyone, don't underestimate yourselves. Our strength should be unparalleled among our peers—"

Xia Youjie opened his hands, "Why don't you try to let go and make a big scene?"

Su Ze held his forehead and chuckled helplessly, and Glass also stopped.

Gojo Satoru's suggestion was rarely approved, and he was very proud. He flashed in front of Suze and Glass, spinning like a top, and making indescribable noises of pleasure.

Glass turned away, out of sight, out of mind.

Su Ze still closed his eyes and smiled softly, then shook his head gently. Then he slowly raised his legs, and the thick Qi attached to the soles of his feet.

Then he took advantage of the moment when Gojo Satoru had his back to him and kicked him hard.

……

"Let me read out the rules in detail below--" A steady and powerful voice came from the loud speaker high up.

No need to think about it, this is Noctua Zhengdao speaking.

“First, you must not maliciously injure your opponent or cause fatal injuries;”

Su Ze stood on a hillside somewhere, wearing a black sports suit with white stripes extending from shoulders to wrists. He carried the cheap sword bag on his back, stretched his arms up and down, and at the same time, he turned his waist, kicked his legs, twisted his hips and pressed his feet - he was doing warm-up exercises seriously.

This is the back mountain of the college, which is vast and boundless. The woods in the morning are mixed with the smell of grass and soil.

He glanced ahead; the morning mist in the woods obscured his view to a considerable extent.

I don't know what happened to those guys?

……

Deep in the forest, a loudspeaker on a tree trunk vibrated and made a sound.

"Second, the competition officially starts at 8 a.m. and ends when the sun sets. Please pay attention, students—"

A tall figure was hanging on the treetop, his body folded on both sides of the treetop, and his slightly twitching feet proved that he was still alive.

"vomit--"

Gojo Satoru's stomach churned and he felt nauseous, followed by a wave of high-altitude vomiting.

It was like flowers scattering from the sky. All the flowers and plants on the ground were killed, and the vomit on the grass leaves was still steaming.

——The most unsophisticated episode.

He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and complained, "What kind of useless teleportation spell is this? Not only is the position uncertain, but why can't they optimize the landing point?"

He snapped the branch with a snap and fell down in a standing position.

"——Third, this team competition is different from previous ones. First, there are many starting points, and everyone is placed in different positions using the transfer spell. Whether to meet up with teammates first or remove the cursed spirits, you can decide freely."

Xia Youjie brushed off the dust on the system and then waved away the dust in front of him.

"Ahem, this technique... how can it bury a person's lower body in the ground?" He covered his mouth and nose, and with one hand he pulled off his shoes and poured out the fine sand.

There was a sound-amplifying magic tool standing diagonally in the sand pile beside me. Perhaps because of the sand and gravel that had entered it, the sound was unclear and crackling.

Ye Mo Zheng Dao's powerful voice has become the male god of electronic music——

"fourth?"

——Sure enough, the sound has begun to distort.

"?This team competition adopts a scoring system..."

Geto Xiayou pulled out the sound-amplifying magic tool from the sand and poured out the sand and gravel in it.

The cursed tool that seemed to have been attacked by the "full-band blocking interference weapon" finally returned to normal.

"...There are two 'Key Curse Spirits' in the field, each of which is worth 150 points; in addition, there are 300 'Ink Squids', each of which is worth 2 points..."

——In other words, even if you give up the strongest cursed spirit, you still have a chance to win.

In other words, even if the two "key cursed spirits" were taken down, there would still be 600 points left - victory could not be guaranteed by this.

"besides--"

Xia Youjie was startled. Why are there additional conditions?

The detailed rules of the exchange competition have only just been announced, and he didn't notice whether it was the same format in the past - but were all these tricks and details thought up by those old men in Kyoto?

"In addition, there are hidden items such as 'Points Doubler Cards' in the field. They may be on a certain ink squid, or in other hidden places... Please pay attention."

·Ink Squid, a harmless and ultra-low-level cursed spirit, has the characteristic of fast movement speed, even close to that of ordinary second-level cursed spirits; in addition, it is good at hiding, the fluctuation of its cursed power is weak, and it has a certain degree of shape-changing and color-changing ability, so it is easy to be overlooked.

——Three hundred of these things running around the field may sound like a lot, but actually finding them is probably like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Xia Yujie stood on tiptoe and looked around, trying to find some clues.

"I hope that all students will uphold the principle of mutual assistance and teamwork, and always bear in mind the principles of being a sorcerer..."

——These are just polite words.

Su Ze's warm-up entered the final stage and he slowly moved his wrists.

Gojo Satoru spat out the residue in his mouth and slightly removed his sunglasses.

Xia Youjie placed his palm downward, and the cursed spirit emerged from the black hole out of thin air.

"——This Kyoto Sister School Exchange Meeting has officially begun!"
