Kagura Shin returned to the main battlefield and found that everyone had scattered during the fighting. The person closest to him was Yuji Itadori, who was being drilled by Aoi Todo. Seeing Aoi Todo's intoxicated expression, Kagura Shin knew that Yuji Itadori had activated his [Non-existent Memories] again, turning Aoi Todo into a best friend he had known since childhood.
[Yuji can handle things on his side himself. It's a good opportunity to let Aoi Todo teach him properly. I'd better go help the others.]
The person who might need help the most right now is Panda, who is facing Mechamaru. After all, even with the power of his older brother [Gorilla] awakened, Panda is still slightly inferior to Mechamaru, while the others are having a relatively easy time dealing with their opponents.
After sensing Panda's location, Kagura Shin quickly rushed over.
Here, Panda was struggling to block a shot of Mechamaru's [Great Exorcism Cannon].
[Blade Source Release]
Several long blades on Ultimate Mechamaru's arms instantly popped out, crossing as they slashed toward Panda, but a feather arrow flew in rapidly from not far away. Ultimate Mechamaru had no choice but to abandon the attack and switch the dual blades to defense.
"Clang~"
Although Ultimate Mechamaru could feel that the arrow's power wasn't very great, he couldn't help but be pushed back several meters, and his entire body ignited with raging flames.
"Sss~"
Suddenly, several streams of white smoke sprayed from Ultimate Mechamaru's body, and the flames were extinguished instantly.
Kokichi Muta had obviously considered the situation of dealing with Cursed Spirits that possessed fire-based Cursed Techniques, and had added cooling and flame-retardant measures inside Ultimate Mechamaru.
Panda looked back and saw that it was Kagura Shin, who had finished off his own enemy and come to help.
"Shin, be careful. Although he's just a Cursed Corpse, he's actually quite strong."
Ultimate Mechamaru scanned Kagura Shin, and the aura on his body clearly became more concentrated and solid.
"Kagura Shin, Cursed Technique is [Steve], a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer who can use Domain Expansion, huh? You are indeed an enemy that Ultimate Mechamaru cannot defeat alone, but no matter what, this battle is unavoidable!"
[Triple Great Exorcism Cannon]!
"Boom!"
A massive Cursed Energy cannon blast erupted from Mechamaru's mouth and hands, rushing toward Kagura Shin and Panda, but it was easily blocked by a Bedrock wall built by Kagura Shin.
Taking advantage of the cover from the Cursed Energy cannon, Mechamaru quickly moved to the right side of the two, released the blade source on his arms, and charged at them. Kagura Shin drew an enchanted trident and smashed it toward him.
"Boom!"
Mechamaru's two arms were shattered into a pile of parts in almost an instant. Far away, Kokichi Muta, who was operating Mechamaru, had his brain completely crash. How could he not know the hardness of his own Cursed Corpse? And yet it was so easily shattered by Kagura Shin?
Kagura Shin could be a bit more reckless when fighting Mechamaru; after all, the rules didn't say he couldn't destroy a Cursed Corpse.
Kokichi Muta quickly reacted and manipulated Mechamaru to spit out a Great Exorcism Cannon from its mouth while trying to distance himself. Kagura Shin covered his entire body with a netherite armor set and countered the cannon blast with a punch.
With one punch, Kagura Shin shattered the Cursed Energy cannon, causing it to explode and create several small pits in the surroundings. Having lost his arms, Mechamaru had lost about 40% of his combat power. He knew that the battle was effectively over, but Kokichi Muta thought of that blue-haired figure.
[I should hold on a bit longer. At least I can't let her face this person!]
"Boom!"
Great Exorcism Cannon shots bombarded the two, but they couldn't cause any damage at all. Repeatedly firing the Great Exorcism Cannon caused damage to Ultimate Mechamaru's circuits, and Kokichi Muta had to release the blade source on the legs to move at high speed on the side, looking for an opportunity.
Kagura Shin was getting dizzy from his movements, so he threw out an unknown amount of burning TNT, as if scattering seeds in all directions. The sound of explosions lasted for nearly half a minute. When the smoke cleared, apart from the one or two square meters of land where Kagura Shin and Panda were standing, the entire surrounding area had been blasted into deep trenches.
Mechamaru stood outside the trench, covered in dust, and slowly withdrew the Cursed Energy defense on his body.
"I surrender. I still need to keep some Cursed Energy to maintain basic operations. I can't fight anymore."
...
The other battles were also coming to an end. Mai was almost being toyed with by Maki. Kasumi Miwa was very unlucky and was put to sleep instantly by a sleeping Cursed Speech from Toge Inumaki. Momo Nishimiya also couldn't defeat Nobara Kugisaki. Megumi Fushiguro was evenly matched with Kamo Noritoshi at first, but Toge Inumaki, who had taken out Kasumi Miwa in seconds, joined the battle, and Kamo Noritoshi ultimately had to accept defeat with tears in his eyes.
The one who got beaten up the worst might have been Yuji Itadori, but in the end, he was holding hands with his opponent, Aoi Todo, as if they were beloved friends and brothers who hadn't seen each other for many years.
In the monitoring room, Utahime Iori and Yoshinobu Gakuganji also felt a bit embarrassed. Although the battles of Aoi Todo, Mechamaru, Kamo Rin, and Kamo Noritoshi were indeed commendable, overall, the average level of the Tokyo School was significantly higher.
Although not many Cursed Spirits released in the forest had been exorcised yet, most of the people from Kyoto Jujutsu High had lost their combat ability, so there was no point in continuing the competition.
Utahime Iori couldn't help but complain,
"Isn't this first round a team battle? Why does it seem like it went straight into individual combat!"
Satoru Gojo then said,
"Kyoto Jujutsu High's approach was actually quite perfect. They don't have the technology to search for Cursed Spirits, so they definitely couldn't beat Tokyo School in finding them. The biggest mistake might have been misjudging the combat power of both sides because the Jujutsu Sorcerer ratings of Yuji, Nobara, Panda, and Maki were all particularly low. In any case, it was still an exciting match."
