83 Eiji’s Bold Actions

"Indeed, this won't be easy..."

Standing on a tree branch, Naritoshi Kamo observed Eiji, who was enduring his friends' attacks without the slightest injury.

"Hey, Kamo-kun, our ambush failed. What's next?"

Mai's voice came through the earpiece in his ear.

"Don't stop attacking. Kamiki Eiji can't sustain Infinity for long. We need to tire him out using Infinity and exploit that moment to defeat him!"

Naritoshi relayed the command not only to Mai but also to Momo, Kokichi (Mechamaru), and Miwa, who were wearing earpieces.

"Understood. Beating a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer sounds good~ I'm sure I'll get a promotion after this."

After Mai said that, she stopped communicating and focused on attacking as a sniper.

"Don't hold a grudge against us, Kamiki Eiji. We have no enmity towards you; this is just an order from the family."

Taking his bow from his back, he drew the string with his arrow aimed at Eiji, who was just standing there.

Naritoshi and the others completely ignored the School Goodwill Event.

Of course, this wasn't their wish but rather the families behind them.

The Kamo Family and the Zenin Family ordered Naritoshi and Mai to test Eiji's abilities.

They wanted to know how long Eiji could sustain Infinity.

On average, Jujutsu Sorcerers from the Gojo Family could use Infinity for one to three minutes. Furthermore, without the Six Eyes to minimize the output of Cursed Energy, the Limitless Technique consumed Cursed Energy in astronomical amounts.

Not all Jujutsu Sorcerers had the capacity of Cursed Energy as much as Gojo Satoru.

Moreover, the Zenin Family and the Kamo Family were unaware that Eiji had mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique to refresh his brain, allowing him to sustain Infinity for 24 hours non-stop.

It must be said, Eiji was too humble and disliked flamboyance like his cousin. As a result, information about his abilities was very scarce.

According to both families, Eiji's strength was exaggerated, and he didn't deserve to be ranked as a Special Grade.

"Flowing Red Scale."

The area around Naritoshi's right eye suddenly showed frozen blood, enhancing his energy and physical abilities significantly. Then, he released the arrow from his bow.

*Whoosh*

The arrow shot rapidly towards its target.

"What?!"

Naritoshi's eyes widened as he saw the other party catch the arrow he shot with all his might, just with bare hands.

On the other side, Eiji ignored the attacks from all directions.

Kokichi controlling Mechamaru, attacked with the protruding blade from the lower arm.

Miwa displayed her swordsmanship.

Momo sent slashing winds.

And Mai shot from a distance.

(If the superiority of Tokyo Jujutsu High School students lies in the brilliance of their individual abilities, then the superiority of Kyoto Jujutsu High School students lies in teamwork) Thought Eiji after observing them.

After the observation was over, he decided to stop acting passively.

"Now it's my turn."

Saying that, Eiji turned around and reached out his hand towards Miwa.

"Miwa!"

Seeing this, Kokichi attacked more ferociously.

"My katana!"

Miwa's heart ached seeing her katana shattered by Eiji's hand.

(I haven't paid off the cost of that katana! I shouldn't have agreed to this plan even if I was paid...)

Before she could lament her loss, her neck was tightly gripped, lifting her body off the ground.

"Oi, you damn bastard! Can't you treat women more gently!"

Seeing the woman he liked in pain and unable to help her, Kokichi stopped his ineffective attacks and opted for verbal assault.

"Unfortunately, I believe in gender equality. As long as they are enemies, whether they are male, female, or whatever, I won't show mercy."

Though his words sounded cruel, Eiji still restrained himself. He didn't forget this was the School Goodwill Event. Moreover, he was too angry to think rationally.

He just wanted to let them realize the gap in power between them.

"Trash! You won't have a girlfriend in the future!"

"Whether I have a girlfriend or not is none of your business. Seeing your overreaction, could it be... you like this girl?"

"W-What?! Don't talk nonsense, quickly release Miwa!"

Eiji's statement made Kokichi panic, even his voice through Mechamaru sounded more flustered than mechanical.

"Hmph."

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Momo tried to secretly save Miwa, but suddenly there was a pulling force from behind that caused her to fall off the broom and crash into Todo hard.

With a physique no different from an ordinary person, the incident left her unable to move her body for a while.

"That despicable bastard! Can't he treat women more gently? As Mechamaru said, he'll be single for life!"

Glaring at Eiji with resentment, Momo scolded him.

If it weren't for Todo as a cushion, she might have hit a tree.

"Mode: Albatross."

Kokichi's anger grew seeing his friend defeated. So, he controlled Mechamaru, which opened its mouth to reveal a cannon.

A large amount of Cursed Energy condensed at the tip of the cannon.

"Take this."

As if throwing away trash, Eiji threw Miwa, who was almost out of breath, towards Mechamaru.

"Miwa!"

Kokichi canceled his forced attack and chose to catch Miwa instead.

"Cough... Cough... Mechamaru... Sorry, I can only be a burden to everyone..."

With a pale face, Miwa showed a sad smile and blamed herself for being easily caught.

"What are you saying, Miwa? No one blames you. It can only be said that we misjudged Kamiki Eiji's strength. He indeed deserves to be a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer."

"Mechamaru, I..."

Before Miwa could say anything, Eiji's voice was heard.

"Sorry to interrupt your romantic moment, but don't forget the situation. This isn't the right place to show affection."

"You—"

Not waiting for Kokichi to finish his sentence, Eiji attacked as quickly as possible.

Considering Mechamaru was a robot, this time Eiji acted quite mercilessly.

Relying on his physical strength, he destroyed Mechamaru's arms and legs so that Miwa fell to the ground. After immobilizing the others, he also damaged the weaponry attached to Mechamaru.

Except for communication, Mechamaru had lost its combat effectiveness completely.

"Kamiki Eiji! I'll remember this grudge!"

Seeing Miwa faint from the impact, Kokichi, soaked in a tank of medicine, felt his chest filled with overflowing anger.

"Oh."

Eiji looked towards Mai's shooting position.

Flames ignited at the tips of his middle and index fingers. Then, using his left hand as a bow, he formed an arrow from the flames in his right hand.

"Dangerous! I have to escape!"

Mai's pupils contracted, her body turned cold, and her intuition wildly warned of the impending danger.

Without hesitation, she left her rifle in front of her and turned to run.

And it wasn't just her; Utahime and Principal Gakuganji, who were watching in the room, had lost their composure.

"Gojo Satoru, quickly stop Kamiki Eiji! This is no longer a competition! That kid wants to kill my students."

Principal Gakuganji urged Satoru to take action.

Among them in the room, only Satoru had the ability to arrive at the location to stop Eiji.

"You're too panicked, old man. Just calm down and watch."

Satoru still smiled as usual.

"Gojo, this is not the time for jokes! Zenin Mai's life is at stake! I'm worried she won't survive Eiji's attacks."

Seeing Mai running for her life, Utahime really wanted to save her. But she knew there wouldn't be time.

"Trust me, Eiji won't kill any of your students. At most, he'll give them a 'little' injury."

"Yaga, order Gojo to stop Kamiki!"

Seeing Satoru insisting on not getting involved, Principal Gakuganji directed his gaze to Principal Yaga.

"I trust my students. Everything will be fine."

Principal Yaga had interacted with Eiji and somewhat understood his personality. According to him, Eiji wouldn't kill any more students because of this issue.

"You two! Good, good, good. If something happens, you both have to take responsibility."

With trembling hands, Principal Gakuganji pointed to them both. Unable to do anything, he sat back with a gloomy mood.

"Eiji, don't go too far, okay?"

Praying in her heart, Utahime stared at the screen and could only watch.

In addition to worrying about the safety of her students, she is also concerned that if Eiji kills or severely injures Mai, the Zenin Family will start a war against the Gojo Family. However, there has been animosity between the families since previous eras.

Utahime doesn't want to see the Gojo Family and the Zenin Family fight to the bitter end.
