"Maekage Ken, are you sure you want to fight that Genji?" In a part of the forest, the girl who had previously appeared as a blonde gyaru—Aoki Chiyo—asked the captain in front of her.
"Yeah." Maekage Ken said, his running speed not slowing down in the slightest.
"But we're already trailing by quite a few points. If you lose to Student Genji, there's no way we'll win. I think we should..."
"I don't need your advice. Just do as I say." Before Aoki Chiyo could finish, Maekage Ken interrupted her.
"You don't actually think we have a chance to win, do you? With those three people from Tokyo School, our odds of winning are infinitesimal. That pathetic sliver of a win rate is only there because of the new rules."
Maekage Ken paused, then explained: "Eliminating Shoko Ieiri will make Tokyo School lose 500 points. Then, I will eliminate Genji. Only then will we have a chance to grasp that sliver of victory. Alright, that's enough. Use your Cursed Technique again to pinpoint the locations of those two, and call the three from the Kamijō group over as well."
'But can you even beat Student Genji?'
Aoki Chiyo noticed the flaw in Maekage Ken's plan, but she didn't voice it, simply activating her Cursed Technique in silence.
"The positions of Student Genji and Shoko Ieiri haven't changed. At our current speed, we'll see them within 10 minutes. Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru are far away, but given their movement speed, it won't take them long to get here."
Aoki Chiyo closed her eyes and relayed the information detected by her Cursed Technique.
Her Cursed Technique is called "Cursed Energy Radar." It allows for high-precision, large-scale detection. Her battlefield reconnaissance capabilities far exceed Mei Mei's "Black Bird Manipulation," but she has almost no combat ability herself and cannot share the visual feed of her technique like Mei Mei can.
"As for the remaining three, Xiao Lian isn't far and should be able to get here in about 10 minutes. The two Kamijō brothers are a bit further away, but they are very close to that woman from Tokyo School who has been monitoring us with her crow shikigami."
"I understand. Tell the Kamijō group to go deal with that woman. Tell them to be careful; she isn't as weak as she looks. Call Kobayashi over to us; you and he can deal with Shoko Ieiri together."
As he spoke, Maekage Ken stopped and looked at the two figures in front of him, then added, "As for Genji, leave him to me."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Kamijō Yū put down his phone and said to his younger brother beside him, "Work's here, Go. The captain wants us to take care of that woman from Tokyo School who uses the crow shikigami."
"Does it really take both of us to deal with one person?" Kamijō Go asked with some disdain.
"It's better to be careful."
Just as the two brothers were discussing it, they didn't notice at all that Mei Mei had already arrived in their vicinity.
"Hello there." Accompanied by Mei Mei's polite greeting, the two realized that, at some point, Mei Mei had arrived behind them.
"When?!"
"Just when the two of you were arguing about whether or not it was worth sending both of you for me." Mei Mei maintained a light smile.
The next second, Mei Mei opened the huge box beside her, took out a massive long-handled battle axe, and then suddenly exerted force with her legs, rushing in front of the two brothers in the blink of an eye and swinging the axe.
"What the hell!" The two brothers hurriedly dodged, narrowly avoiding the attack. They immediately launched a counterattack, surrounding Mei Mei from the left and right, coordinating their assault.
Their coordination was very precise; no matter which side Mei Mei chose to defend, the other side would strike before she could defend against it.
However, just when the Kamijō brothers thought Mei Mei couldn't escape unscathed from their attack, Mei Mei completely abandoned her defense, instead spinning her body violently and swinging the giant axe at them.
Facing Mei Mei's counterattack, the two had no choice but to abandon their attack and retreat with all their might, but they still ended up with gashes on their abdomens from the giant axe.
"What is up with this woman! Is she really just a support-type Jujutsu Sorcerer?" Kamijō Go yelled at his older brother.
"Stop talking and focus on defending!" Kamijō Yū also yelled at his brother. Facing Mei Mei's storm-like assault, the two brothers could only struggle to defend passively.
Yet, at this moment, Mei Mei still had the energy to chat with the two brothers.
"You know, in this Jujutsu World where Cursed Techniques are supreme, I spent a rather desperate time after learning the effects of my Cursed Technique. With a weak technique, my talent on the path of a Jujutsu Sorcerer was quite limited, so I constantly trained my physical skills, raising them higher and higher until I reached the limit."
As she spoke, Mei Mei kicked Kamijō Yū in the chest, simultaneously flipping the axe and smashing the handle hard into Kamijō Yū's abdomen, sending both brothers flying.
"Go! We are absolutely no match for this woman in close combat! Use your Cursed Technique!" Kamijō Yū, who had no interest in listening to whatever Mei Mei was saying, shouted at his brother.
"Got it!"
The two Kamijō brothers activated their Cursed Techniques simultaneously. Kamijō Yū touched the ground with both hands, shattering the surrounding earth, while Kamijō Go turned the shattered stones into sharp stone spikes and launched them at Mei Mei.
Facing the two brothers' attack, Mei Mei showed no fear, simply swinging her axe quickly to form a dense defensive net in front of her, knocking down all the incoming stone spikes.
"But as my physical skills were almost strengthened to the limit, I started thinking about how to further enhance my strength. Finally, just yesterday, my cute junior gave me some inspiration."
Just as the two brothers were wary of Mei Mei rushing in to engage them in close combat again, they saw Mei Mei put down the giant axe in her hand, and suddenly, a large number of crows appeared in the sky.
"What is this woman trying to do now?" Kamijō Yū watched the scene in front of him vigilantly, but knowing that they were no match for her in close combat, he could only choose to wait and see.
Suddenly, Kamijō Yū noticed that the Cursed Energy on the crows, which originally only carried a faint amount, suddenly surged, as if they had broken through some kind of limit.
"Originally, animals like crows carry faint amounts of Cursed Energy, but through my Cursed Technique, I can force the crows to break through their limits, and then, like this."
As Mei Mei's voice trailed off, the crows in the sky rushed violently toward the two brothers, and then an explosion occurred.
"Defend!" Kamijō Yū yelled, covering his whole body with Cursed Energy, but it was too late; a violent explosion occurred right in front of them.
"No wonder the people from Tokyo dared to leave this woman here alone." This was the last thought that flashed through the Kamijō brothers' minds before they lost consciousness.
"Kamijō Yū and Kamijō Go eliminated. Mei Mei gains 200 points."
"With this, only Genji-kun's side is left, and then it'll be over." Upon hearing the broadcast, Mei Mei smiled a bit coquettishly, then activated her Cursed Technique again, wanting to watch the battle between the strongest of the two schools.
"If I could broadcast this and set up a betting pool, I could definitely make a fortune."
Such a thought suddenly flashed through Mei Mei's mind.
