"In the past few months, whenever Teacher Gojo contacts , he always ntions you, saying you surprised him a lot, even more promising than I am." Okkotsu Yuta expressed a friendly smile at Reiger, showing no sign of hostility, saying: "Zenin Maki, Inumaki, and Panda often ntion you, saying they’ve received your care."
"You seem to have specifically helped them with special training before the sister school exchange event in the Capital City, right?"
"Thanks to you, Maki and the others have said they beca much stronger, very grateful indeed."
With that, Okkotsu Yuta bowed deeply to Reiger, displaying a sincere attitude, clearly showing how grateful he was.
This illustrates, despite being a special-grade Curse Mage, Okkotsu Yuta values Zenin Maki and others even with significant disparity in strength, considering them important.
"There’s no need to thank ." Reiger looked at Okkotsu Yuta and said: "It’s because Gojo asked to help with their special training, that I did it."
"Although unreliable, that unconventional teacher guided , so when he asks sothing in return, naturally, I should respond."
"It’s like a fair trade; if you’re going to thank soone, thank Gojo instead."
Upon hearing this, a shadow flickered across Okkotsu Yuta’s eyes.
Evidently, he was reminded of Gojo Satoru’s current situation.
"Geto Suguru... I didn’t expect him to still be alive and even seal Teacher Gojo within the Prison Gate Border."
Having nurous ties with this special-grade Curse Master, Okkotsu Yuta seed to have complex feelings.
But now wasn’t the ti to discuss this, so Okkotsu Yuta quickly adjusted his mood.
"No matter the case, still thanks for helping Maki and the others; though being special-grade myself, I couldn’t aid them to beco stronger like you did, instead they helped a lot when I was weaker." Okkotsu Yuta offered thanks again while saying: "I heard you’re the sa type of mage as ?"
"More or less." Reiger did not deny it.
Okkotsu Yuta’s technique is unconditional imitation, capable of copying, mimicking, and using others’ techniques, which indeed resembles Reiger’s type.
But...
"I heard you can even use the [Limitless Curse Technique], truly impressive." Okkotsu Yuta sincerely marveled, "I couldn’t do that, even when first hearing about it, it was indeed surprising."
No, Okkotsu Yuta can actually mimic the technique itself.
However, Okkotsu lacks the curse energy manipulation skill comparable to Six Eyes, so even if he imitates the [Limitless Curse Technique], he cannot use it.
Just like the monk once said, Okkotsu Yuta’s technique has limitations; if the target’s technique has stringent usage requirents beyond his reach, he cannot successfully deploy it.
Such as, techniques like [Limitless Curse Technique] lying at the height of sorcery generally have strict use conditions, which Okkotsu Yuta cannot fulfill.
Therefore, the monk wasn’t interested in Okkotsu Yuta, believing he would never beco another Gojo Satoru.
Okkotsu Yuta also thinks so.
His reasoning is simple: no matter how he imagines, he can’t foresee himself catching up to Gojo Satoru.
Thus, even though Gojo Satoru favored him, believing he could catch up, Okkotsu Yuta felt it was quite challenging.
But the person before him was different.
Clearly the sa type of mage as himself, yet achieving what he cannot, proving the other’s abilities exceed his own.
Especially upon learning the other possesses the [Limitless Curse Technique], Okkotsu Yuta confird one thing even more.
If it’s him, he should be able to fulfill Teacher Gojo’s wish, catching up to him.
With this thought in mind, Okkotsu Yuta spoke.
"If possible, I really don’t want to be an enemy to soone like you."
The atmosphere started to feel a bit tense upon these words.
"I’m a bit curious." Reiger directly gazed at Okkotsu Yuta, saying: "Why would you accept the sorcery supervisory departnt’s order to chase ?"
This was quite a strange matter.
In principle, since Okkotsu Yuta survived due to Gojo Satoru’s guarantee, and was once secretly sentenced to death by the sorcery supervisory departnt, his relationship with the high-ups in the world of sorcery should be very poor.
He’s a student of Gojo Satoru, no matter how you look, he should be on Gojo’s side.
If that’s the case, why would he accept the order from the sorcery supervisory departnt and oppose soone also in Gojo’s camp?
Reiger was curious about this point.
To which Okkotsu Yuta said.
"I have my considerations too." He didn’t explain explicitly, but said to Reiger: "Let’s discuss this after the battle."
Okkotsu Yuta removed the cloth bag, opened it, and withdrew a long, item.
That was a sheathed Japanese sword.
"Clang..."
Okkotsu Yuta drew the sword, pointing it at Reiger.
Instantly, a curse energy burning intensely enough to slightly distort the space around Okkotsu Yuta began blazing on him.
A volcano erupted at this very mont.
"Please be careful now."
Okkotsu Yuta’s tone changed.
Turned rational and murderous like a cold war God.
"I can’t show rcy in this battle."
It’s not that I can’t show rcy, it’s that I can’t help but not show rcy.
This faintly revealed so hints to Reiger.
"Understood, I know now."
Reiger extended his hand, a radiant magic power light appeared.
The magic power gathered, forming a straight-edged black blade.
"Then let see if you and your pure-loving partner can bring so surprises."
With a playful laugh, curse energy slowly flowed from Reiger’s body.
Unlike Okkotsu Yuta’s grand and fierce curse energy, Reiger’s had a serene, peaceful, tranquil sensation.
This made Okkotsu Yuta’s eyes slightly narrow.
"Amazing curse energy control technique..."
Okkotsu Yuta could sense the terrifying power hidden beneath the calm curse energy.
If his curse energy was a volcano eruption, then Reiger’s was the approaching storm.
Before a storm arrives, everything feels extraordinarily calm.
Two young n of the sa age raised swords, poised for attack.
They should’ve worn identical white curse sorcery high-special uniforms, representing problematic children, but Reiger swapped his out, otherwise this confrontation scene would resemble seeing one’s reflection.
"Here I co."
Okkotsu Yuta quietly declared.
"Co at ."
Reiger calmly replied.
Still lacking gunpowder scent, lacking tension.
Yet, astonishing pressure erupted at this mont, scaring away lingering Curse Spirits nearby.
In the next instant—
"Boom!"
Seemingly frail Okkotsu Yuta suddenly stepped hard, shattering the ground beneath his foot, launching forward like an arrow toward Reiger.
Curse energy exploding like a volcano entwined around him, enhancing his physical prowess to the utmost, transforming the frail lad into a raging War God.
"Swish!"
The fiercely cursed blade sliced through the air, radiating a waterfall-like brilliance, slashing fiercely at Reiger.
"Clang!!!"
When Reiger blocked with his blade, deflecting the waterfall-like slash, the thunderous steel collision rang out, turning impact into a light explosion sweeping across the field.
"Rumble...!"
The rumbling imdiately followed.
That was the sound of the ground collapsing under unbearable force.
The trendous power from the collision of two long blades shattered the ground under Reiger and Okkotsu Yuta as if struck by a teor, splintering bit by bit.
A corner of the Shinjuku district crumbled thunderously, akin to a natural disaster.
