《I AM ABSOLUTE》五
Advertisement
Pseudo-Geto and Hanami watch from over the cliffside and decide whether or not they want to save Jogo. Geto refuses to be seen by anyone from Jujutsu High. He says Hanami can do so if he wishes, but he's unsure if cursed spirits feel any kindship toward one another. Hanami leaves after saying something in another language that irritates Geto.
Hanami rescues Jogo.
Satoru tries to interrogate Jogo but to no avail. Suddenly a large spike nearly strikes Satoru. It pierces the ground and grows a garden of flowers, distracting the shamans long enough for Hanami to swoop in and save Jogo. The garden spawns a wooden curse monster that attacks Yuji. Satoru saves his student, but the other curses manages to get away.
Satoru is impressed the cursed spirit managed to hide its presence and claims that things are getting fun. He tells Yuji that he wants his students to all get strong enough to defeat curses like that.
The mastermind is revealed.
Gojo sensei plans on continuing to train Yuji before eventually taking on tough missions. Then he'll make his return at the exchange event, something Yuji still doesn't know anything about.
Meanwhile, Kiyotaka Ijichi meets with Principal Yaga, but the latter is upset by Satoru's absence. Geto meets with his associates in another domain and the other two come in close behind. They all plan on doing their best to seal Satoru on October 31st in Shibuya.
The Kyoto students arrive to intimidate their younger rivals.
While Megumi and Nobara are out running errands for Maki, she and Panda discuss the situation involving the Higher Ups and Jujutsu High following the cursed womb incident. They know it's unlikely their Kyoto rivals would come for the meeting, but they still know those guys might still come since they love talking trash.

One of them is Maki's sister, Mai Zenin, and the other is third-year, Aoi Todo. They both insult Yuji, who is still believed to be deceased. The first-year students from Tokyo ignore their rivals obvious bait. Aoi steps forward and prepares to fight, determined to see if they're worthy replacements for Okkotsu.
why he would share information about himself like that with a total stranger. Nobara claims it's hard for Megumi to answer questions about girls and he tells her not to make the situation worse. Aoi introduces himself abruptly and claims that a person's taste says a lot about them. Aoi hates boring people and he wants his last Kyoto Goodwill Event to be against someone like that.
"You're boring... Fushiguro."
Megumi thinks of Tsumiki and reveals he has no preference. As long as the person is compassionate, Megumi doesn't need anything else. This answer amuses Nobara and Mai, but Aoi isn't impressed and confirms for himself that Megumi is boring just as he thought. Sensing Aoi's bloodlust, Megumi quickly tries to summon Nue but he's interrupted and slammed through the doorway by Aoi.
Nobara tries to help but Mai restrains her from helping. Mai commends Megumi for being a grade 2 jujutsu sorcerer, but she still believes he's no match for Aoi. Nobara ignores her and tells Mai that she isn't nearly as pretty as her sister Maki. Unamused, Mai grabs Nobara from behind and pulls out a gun. Aoi follows Megumi outside as the first-year is still recovering from the initial attack. The third-year claims he always knew Megumi was boring but wanted to give him a chance by asking. Now he feels that Megumi has trampled all over his kindness.
Aoi outclasses Megumi in battle.
Megumi recognizes Aoi's name for being the famous grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer who defeated all of the curses who appeared on the night of "Shinjuku-to-Kyoto Night Line of a Hundred Demons". Megumi also heard that Aoi doesn't use his cursed technique, but Aoi dispels that rumor and reveals he uses the technique on special grade curses. To better combat his senior, Megumi combines his Nue with Toad to summon The Well's Unknown Abyss. He summons several winged toads and plans to nullify Aoi's strengths by keeping his distance.

Mai appears to make short work of Nobara.
However, Aoi uses his incredible speed to blitz through Megumi's guard and German sup lexes him. Megumi quickly recovers but Aoi pins his head to a nearby wall and throws him up and through a platform above them. As Aoi jumps up to follow, he's caught by Megumi's toad's tongues. He's unimpressed, but Megumi stands up with determination to make an impact.
Two sisters turned bitter rivals reunite.
Their duel is interrupted Toge Inumaki, who tells them to stop moving with his cursed speech. Then Panda appears and punches Aoi with a hard right. Panda asks why Aoi couldn't wait until the Kyoto Goodwill Event and tells him to leave immediately. Aoi agrees and decides that the event this year might not be boring after all. Before he leaves, Aoi tells his rivals to make sure Okkotsu to show up.
Meanwhile, Nobara is down with several wounds created by Mai's gun. Mai tells Nobara to watch who she picks fights with. A polearm knocks Mai's gun away from Nobara and Maki asks her sister what she's doing to the errand girl.

Why it is, exactly, the oublivant seem so against life so as to break the passive rule dungeons have is unknown. What is known, however, is that they're a threat that, upon discovery, is to be immediately eliminated." - Archomagus Addiom Onero, Court of VascilNote: This is my first story on royal road.
