82 Todo’s Defeat

(You're worthy to be my brother. Even without Cursed Technique, his attacks are deadly if they land. I can't keep going like this, or I'll lose)

With nimble movements, Todo continuously avoided Eiji's punches.

Although he looked like a musclehead, that wasn't true. He was also the type of person who used his brain in fights.

After blocking Eiji's previous punch, Todo chose to evade instead of blocking.

"Oh no, I don't have time to dodge!"

While pondering his response, Todo became careless and didn't realize the other party was increasing their speed.

"There's no other choice!"

Seeing the unavoidable punch, he decisively activated his Cursed Technique.

*Clap*

The sound of applause was heard, and Todo's figure disappeared, replaced by a tree branch.

"Sorry, brother. I admit I can't compete with you just using martial arts. I hope you don't mind me using my Cursed Technique."

Hearing Todo's voice behind him, Eiji turned without changing his expression.

"It's okay. Use all your methods, Todo Aoi."

"Thank you, brother. I can't tell you the specific ability of my Cursed Technique, but its name is Boogie Woogie."

"Oh."

Eiji already knew without Todo telling him.

Generally, Jujutsu Sorcerers would keep the abilities of their Cursed Techniques secret.

The reason is simple, if the enemy knows the opponent's Cursed Technique ability, it will be easier to devise countermeasures.

Take for example Megumi and Yuji fighting Awasaka Jiro. In that battle, Megumi and Yuji were beaten to a pulp by Awasaka, and almost defeated by him.

Awasaka's Cursed Technique, Inverse, made attacks become weaker the stronger they are and stronger the weaker they are.

After Megumi and Yuji learned the ability of Inverse Technique, it wasn't difficult to defeat Awasaka.

Except for the three Great Sorcerer Families and other large families, on average, Jujutsu Sorcerers choose to conceal the abilities of their Cursed Techniques so that their weaknesses are not discovered.

"In that case, I'll start, brother."

After saying that, Todo ran towards Eiji.

On the other hand, Eiji enveloped his wrist with Cursed Energy, then punched forward.

*Clap*

Using Boogie Woogie, Todo swapped places with a rock and appeared behind Eiji. Then, he mercilessly punched.

Unfortunately, his punch missed as Eiji ducked, spun around, and countered the punch.

*Clap*

With a joyful smile, Todo disappeared and reappeared not far from Eiji.

"Even though I knew about Boogie Woogie, it doesn't change much. Todo Aoi is a tough opponent. No wonder Mahito had trouble dealing with him."

Their duel continued.

None of Eiji's attacks managed to hit Todo, and the same applied to Todo.

Todo looked for openings and repeatedly launched surprise attacks, but Eiji's reaction speed was truly unbelievable.

"Let's end this, Todo Aoi. There's another opponent waiting for me."

"Hm?"

Before Todo could understand the meaning of those words, Eiji's attack suddenly sped up so that he couldn't respond to the clap.

As a result, his chest received a heavy blow, sending his body flying into a tree.

"Incredible... You... Truly my brother..."

Before passing out, Todo gave a thumbs up.

"You're strong, Todo Aoi. Among the Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers, you're one of the top."

Eiji acknowledged Todo's strength.

He actually wanted to accompany him longer, but he detected all the Kyoto High School students had positioned themselves to surround him.

So, he used his full power to end the fight with Todo.

Of course, even though it's called full power, it's only limited to basic physical strength.

After years of training his physical strength, Eiji was confident his body constitution was on par with Toji in his prime.

Toji could even defeat Satoru during high school before the Six Eyes' awakening. So it's no wonder Todo was defeated by Eiji using his full physical strength.

*Whoosh*

A strong gust of wind produced dust and dirt, making it difficult to open the eyes.

Eiji closed his eyes to avoid the dust from entering them.

Although with closed eyes, it didn't affect him much.

Looking up at the sky, he saw a short girl riding a broomstick in the air like a Magical Girl in anime.

"Nishimiya Momo. Todo Aoi will be very angry if he knows you're interfering with his duel."

"Don't worry, he fainted because of you. So, he won't know unless someone tells him."

Sitting on the broomstick, Momo's childish face was inconsistent with her words.

"As my thanks, accept this, Kamiki Eiji!"

"Wind Scythe."

Swinging her broom while riding it, Momo unleashed a powerful gust of wind towards Eiji.

*Whoosh*

"Hmph."

Eiji didn't even bother to dodge this attack. Cursed Energy coated his hands, reaching out, he blocked Wind Scythe with his bare hand.

"What?!"

Seeing her attack easily blocked, Momo was astonished.

(It seems Wind Scythe isn't as strong as I thought.)

Eiji mimicked Uraume's actions when facing Momo.

If others could do it, why couldn't he, who was stronger?

*BANG*

Eiji shifted his head to the side, a bullet whizzed past him and pierced the ground. If he hadn't dodged, his head would've been shot.

"You're very cruel. This is just a competition, do you have to go this far?"

Although he looked calm, his tone was very cold.

No matter who it was, facing assassination attempts, no one would not be angry.

"Ultra Cannon."

Mechamaru emerged from behind the tree, from the palm of his hand, he shot a blast of Cursed Energy.

*Whoosh*

The yellow light cannon flew towards Eiji. However, the light cannon became static and didn't hit him.

Not only that, Miwa, who had been hiding for a long time, took the opportunity to sneak behind Eiji.

"New Shadow Style: Simple Domain."

She took a proper stance, creating a circle with a radius of 2.21 meters around her. Then, she drew her sword and swung it at Eiji.

"Eh?"

Miwa was surprised to find her sword only a few meters away from her opponent. She clearly felt like she was swinging the sword, but it seemed the other party was very far away and her attack couldn't reach him.

*BANG*

Mai, lying prone on a high ground, aimed through her sniper scope, she pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Tsk, failed. It must be because of Infinity."

As a direct descendant of the Zenin Family, who had a rivalry with the Gojo Family, Mai understood very well about the Limitless Technique.

"Blood Manipulation: Piercing Blood."

Noritoshi shot a distant burst of blood with extreme piercing ability.

Unfortunately, his attack suffered the same fate as his friends' attacks.

"Is it over?"

Facing a barrage of attacks from Kyoto High School students, Eiji just stood there and watched.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't use the Limitless Technique? Are you taking back your words?"

Stopping the Ultra Cannon shots, Mechamaru said sarcastically.

He didn't hide his dislike for Eiji at all.

He resented that others were luckier than him, even though they were both born with the Heavenly Restriction.

"That promise only applies to Todo Aoi, not to you guys."

"I'm not interested in your reasons for doing this. Since you started it first, don't expect to just get away with minor injuries."

Facing the siege of Kyoto High School students, Eiji still emitted an aura of superiority.

"Show us how strong the youngest Grade Special Jujutsu Sorcerer is."

Not only was he not afraid, Mechamaru even provoked further.
