I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"This way... I should be able to rest assured."

Tenriko, who was supporting herself with her hands on her knees, suddenly caught a glimpse of the handkerchief handed to her by the maid. She took it with a smile and wiped her forehead.

Smiling at Tenriko and the maid who were getting along very harmoniously, Geto Suguru turned his head to look at Gojo Satoru.

"Thanks for your hard work, Satoru."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru glanced at him sideways, blinked, and the silver light in his eyes quietly disappeared.

"Next time, I won't be a bodyguard for a little girl like this anymore."

"what?"

Looking at Gojo Satoru and Tennenoriko who were making faces at each other as if they were children who would never grow up, Geto Suguru sighed helplessly, but his eyes were full of tenderness.

The escort mission ends here. Although I am very sad to leave, this place is protected by the barrier of the high school. It can be said to be one of the safest places in Japan. They are no longer needed...

"Oh!"

The sound like breaking glass resounded through the air.

Under the horrified gazes of Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru, fragments of the outermost barrier fell from the sky.

Chapter 18 Unstoppable

The Metropolitan Jutsu High School is built on the mountainside, and to reach it you have to walk a long mountain road.

There are many red torii gates on the mountain road, and you will pass one almost every few steps.

Torii gates are associated with realms in myths and legends. Legend has it that as long as one walks through a torii gate, one can reach the heaven where gods live from the human world.

Here, these torii gates exist as nodes of the barrier, and hundreds of torii gates represent hundreds of layers of the barrier.

“I have to say, it’s really a big deal.”

The high heels stepped lightly on the stone steps, and another layer of invisible barrier shattered. A crack appeared on a torii gate, and the originally bright red color now looked a little dull.

The fluttering skirt swayed left and right with the footsteps of the person coming, and each crisp sound of footsteps represented the breaking of a layer of barrier.

Even though she didn't make any move and just walked forward, the layers of barriers didn't stop her for even half a second.

The more one understands the strength of the Tianyuan barrier, the more they will feel that the scene before them is too absurd.

"Miss! Stand behind me!"

He definitely wasn't here for afternoon tea after appearing in such a strong manner.

Even though the opponent looked like a tough guy, the maid, who was not a sorcerer, still stood in front of Tenriko without hesitation.

Of course, there were people standing in front of them, naturally they were Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru who stood here as guards.

"Wu, are you okay?"

"Nonsense, who do you think I am?"

The reason why Geto Suguru asked this question was because Gojo Satoru had been maintaining his technique at a high intensity for the past two days and had not slept for two days and two nights.

This is the worst possible scenario.

"Oh? Are you guys done chatting already? It's okay to chat a little longer. I still have plenty of time anyway."

When the last layer of barrier came to an end with a "crackling" sound, Ba Wanxi also stepped onto the last stone step.

"Ah, so considerate, young lady? If you make such a commotion, someone might notice something's wrong and come over to round you up."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bawanshi tilted her head in feigned confusion, then grinned. "Are you worried about ants gathering together? It's just a matter of raising the knife a few more times. I won't be the one cleaning up the bodies anyway."

"Huh? What's with that arrogant look of yours?"

Maybe this is the attraction between people of the same sex. Neither of them had a good first impression of each other.

Xia Yujie's eyes never left Ba Wanxi's body, but at the same time he said to the back: "Satoru and I will be in charge here. You guys quickly go in through the cave over there. As long as you reach Master Tianyuan, you will be safe."

"But……"

Rinne stared worriedly at the broad backs of Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru, while the maid made a decision after biting her lips, grabbed Rinne's wrist and was about to run away.

"That would bother me a lot."

Looking at the two girls walking away, Bawanshi slowly raised her hand towards them, but was interrupted.

"I won't let you succeed!"

An absurdly large white worm suddenly appeared from behind Geto Suguru, opened its huge, smelly mouth and was about to swallow Bawanshi directly.

Bawanshi's attention was drawn away by it, and disgust was clearly revealed in her eyes.

All the dense slashing blows hit the giant worm. It was one of the best cursed spirits controlled by Geto Suguru. He didn't even delay for a second and destroyed it without leaving any trace.

"I hate bugs because my mother also hates bugs. Whether they crawl on the ground or fly in the sky, whether they are huge or tiny but come in swarms, I hate them 100% and 1000%."

"You're still calling me mother? You're really still a little girl who hasn't grown up."

Although he spoke provocative words, Gojo Satoru's hands were not relaxed at all. The sticky cursed energy gathered in front of him like surging waves.

The technique is forward and Cang——maximum output!

The blue ball of light was like a small black hole that had been weakened countless times. Everything around it was unable to resist the powerful gravitational force and was sucked into it.

Gojo Satoru swung his arms, and the ball of light rushed towards Bawanshi with a roaring hurricane.

Gojo Satoru's sure-win attack hit Bawanxi right in the middle, because she didn't even think about dodging it.

The strong wind blew up the hems of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's clothes, and the billowing smoke and dust made the two men subconsciously put out their hands to block it.

"how's it going?"

Geto Suguru couldn't see inside the smoke and dust, so he had to ask Gojo Satoru, who had six eyes, about the situation.

Then, he saw that Gojo Satoru's face, which had always been nonchalant, was now frighteningly solemn.

"I confirmed that my full-strength attack hit her, but... her magical power hasn't wavered at all... What kind of magic does she possess?"

At this time, a voice came from the thick smoke and dust.

"Ah, I almost forgot I came here on a mission. If I let the target get away, I'll be in big trouble."

A chill instantly enveloped Geto Xia Yu. He subconsciously turned his head and shouted at the two people who were about to enter the building, "Get down!"

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the smoke and dust, and the transparent slash crossed the distance. The next moment after the maids pounced on Tenriko, it flew past their hair and left a slash mark more than ten meters long on the stone wall.

Although the situation was critical, neither of them seemed to be injured, and Geto Suguru also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, it's really okay to be relieved so early?"

The voice of the woman who was as strong as a monster sounded again.

However, at this moment, Geto Suguru felt that the other party's voice was so close.

"Jay——!"

when? !

No, I shouldn’t be thinking about this now... I need to run!

First, he summoned a toad-shaped cursed spirit to fling me away, then summoned a squid-shaped cursed spirit to contain the opponent's pursuit, and...

Although Geto Suguru is still a student, he does have sufficient experience in fighting against enemies.

However, these experiences are used to deal with sorcerers and cursed spirits.

Not for fighting monsters.

The toad-shaped cursed spirit was cut into countless pieces of meat as soon as it landed on the ground.

One after another, squid-shaped cursed spirits were shot out like machine gun bullets, but they were shattered into pieces before they could even touch the corner of Ba Wanxi's clothes.

There was no obstruction. Bawanshi's hand just stretched out like this, grabbed Xia Youjie's neck, and lifted him up in the air.

"Okay, checkmate."

Chapter 19 Too Weak

“Jay——!!”

Gojo Satoru's eyes were bloodshot, but Geto Suguru was in the other party's hands, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Even the maid and Tenriko who were not far away had forgotten to run at this moment. The feeling of having brushed shoulders with death made their legs still weak. After witnessing Geto Suguru being captured without any resistance, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

Bawanshi held Xia Yujie's neck and glanced at everyone's reactions indifferently.

Gojo Satoru's eyes are quite scary right now. It turns out that he is also someone who can show such a look.

Or... this person is special to him.

Bawanshi began to look closely at the man in his hand.

She looks pretty good, but why does she have such weird bangs?

I remember in my previous life, the author of "Jujutsu Kaisen" said in person that Geto Suguru's popularity was actually higher than Gojo Satoru's, because Geto Suguru's personality was gentler, unlike Gojo Satoru who was arrogant and domineering and acted recklessly.

Gentle and considerate people should be popular.

And gentle people never have a good ending.

The vision...is gradually becoming blurred.

Thinking...becomes sluggish.

Geto Suguru's face turned ashen because he had difficulty breathing, and the resentment burned in his lungs like a flame.

Am I... a burden again?

I...is that all?

If that’s the case, then at least… I want my death to gain something for Wu!

Geto Suguru's curse spirit manipulation technique allows him to absorb curse spirits into his body, summon them out at critical moments and control them.

In order to prevent the cursed spirits from going berserk, he could only control a small number of them at a time.

And now, he plans to self-destruct and release all the cursed spirits at once.

Just when he was about to make up his mind, Bawanshi suddenly threw him out like garbage and then disappeared on the spot.

It wasn't teleportation, but her speed exceeded the limit that the naked eye could capture.

Only one person saw her move clearly.

"No! Riko!"

Bawanshi rushed towards Tennuriko at a high speed, but there was a slash that was faster than her.

The transparent slash passed by Tennuriko and collided with a short blade of a strange shape.

A strange scene happened. The moment the slashing blow touched the short blade, it was easily pierced like a piece of cloth, but the short blade still stopped for a very short moment because of this blow.

At this moment, Ba Wanxi came in front of the burly figure holding a short blade and punched him in the face with all his might.

"Oh!"

"Whoa-!"

The feeling of the air exploding right next to you was not pleasant. Tenriko felt like she lost consciousness for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, she found herself being blown several meters away.

The burly man in black was not hit directly by Bawanxi, but instead raised his arm to block the punch. However, even though he had released a lot of force, he still couldn't control his body, and his feet plowed two long tracks on the stone ground.

"Ah...did you fail after all?"

There was always a faint smile on his face, as if he had already realized that his sneak attack would fail.

Bawanshi recognized the burly man in front of her, Fushiguro Shige, known as the "Heaven and Tyrant".

In the anime, it was him who performed a craniotomy on Gojo Satoru, severely injured Geto Suguru, killed Tenchi Riko and took her body to the Bankei Cult to collect the reward.

"If I could kill him with one strike, it would save a lot of trouble. You weren't always on guard against my presence, were you?" Fushiguro Shiori said with a sinister grin. "How could a monkey like me, devoid of any magical power, possibly catch the eye of a genius like you?"

"That's harsh. I think you're more of a threat than those two over there." Bawanshi gave a wicked smile. "It's probably the difference between a maggot and an ant."

"Your curse is even harsher than mine."

On the other side, Gojo Satoru helped Geto Suguru, who was coughing and covering his neck, and the two of them came to Tennen Riko together.

"Jay, are you okay?"
