Princess Fischl

Chapter 22: 21. Ten seconds



Chapter 21

Leaving me slightly taken aback, Satoru Gojou suddenly found himself next to Megumi Fushiguro and took out his phone again to take a photo of the injured mage, thinking about how he would show his photo to the second-years.

"Initially, I just wanted to see the local sights, but as usual, when it comes to a cursed high-class item, everything went awry." Gojou began to rant, and then asked Megumi. "So... did you find it?"

"Um... Sorry." Itadori drew attention to himself. "But I ate this thing."

"Are you serious?"

"Quite." Megumi answered instead of Yuji.

"Hmm?" he suddenly came closer and began to peer at the schoolboy Satoru.

"Haha, everything really got mixed up. It's funny." the strongest mage of our time said, amused.

"Any strangeness in your body?" the mage began to question.

- No, no.

- Can you switch with Sukuna?

- Sukuna?

- It's the curse you ate.

- Well, yeah, I guess I can.

- Then. - Satoru started to warm up. - Ten seconds. Come back in ten seconds.

- But... - Itadori started to speak uncertainly, but he was interrupted.

- It's okay. I'm the strongest. - Satoru answered Gojo with a smile.

- Megumi, take this. - Gojo said before throwing a bag to Megumi.

- What is this?

- Kikufuku. "A famous delicacy from Sendai."

- People almost died here, and he went to buy souvenirs before heading here! - Megumi said in shock.

- It's not a souvenir. I'm planning on eating it on the train. - Satoru said as if he didn't notice Sukuna rushing towards him from above, having gained control over Itadori's body.

- From behind! - Megumi shouted.

A moment later, a powerful blow from Sukuna landed on the place where the magician was, but Satoru Gojou was no longer there.

- Since I'm in front of my student and new apprentice... - the magician appeared behind the curse king and spoke in a relaxed manner. - Let me show my cool side.

Sukuna suddenly tried to hit the magician, but his hand was intercepted, and then a fist flew straight into his face.

"He's strong? Not really." - Sukuna thought.

- Seriously, it doesn't matter what era. You're still here. Shamans! - Sukuna said and exclaimed loudly at the end, using a cursed technique to destroy everything in front of him and while the dust was standing, he said smugly. - But it doesn't matter.

- 7 - Satoru Gojo's voice rang out.

- 8 - the dust finally cleared, revealing a completely unharmed person, as well as an untouched area behind him, where Megumi was located.

- 9 - the king of curses and the strongest mage of modern times, did nothing and just looked at each other.

- It's time. - Gojo said with a smile.

"Curse! Not again! I'm losing control!" - the manifested marks gradually began to disappear. - Damn Itadori. What kind of monster are you? "

After regaining control over his body, only two marks remained from the recent tattoos under his eyes, which resembled a closed second pair of eyes.

- Ah. - Itadori began to speak as if suddenly waking up from sleep. - Well?

- I'm surprised. You really control him.

- Well, he's really annoying. I can hear his voice.

- Now that's a miracle. - Satoru Gojou said before touching his middle and index fingers to Itadori's forehead, causing him to lose consciousness and fall into the mage's arms.

- What did you do? - Megumi asked.

- Nothing, he's just sleeping. If his body isn't under Sukuna's control when he wakes up... Then he's the one we need.

While this entire scene was happening before me, I diligently studied everything that both Gojou Satoru and the 1/20th part of the curse king did. I carefully watched how they both used their techniques and, frankly, I am very glad that I was able to see how my new teacher used short-range teleportation, and what is no less important, although not completely, but I was able to grasp how to combine the feature of six eyes and infinity, so that the energy consumption for any techniques is infinitely reduced to zero, thanks to which even using techniques that would take up the entire reserve, you can use it infinitely and this is exactly what I tried to repeat now when I have restored at least a little reserve.

Having strengthened my body, concentrating on a new technique for me, I jumped onto the roof to the two magicians, which attracted their attention and with a smile noted that although I had not yet achieved the result in which energy was actually not spent, but even so, according to the sensations, I spent 10 times less energy.

- And you are much more mysterious than I thought. I don't remember my family having any other close relatives. - Gojo noticed my manipulations.

- Well, we're not related, I just watched and learned. Gojo-sensei, let me explain everything to you a little later in a private conversation, and at the same time, I would like to ask you in advance, when Itadori Yuji wakes up, don't let him eat the second finger, a little later I will have the opportunity to completely destroy Sukuna's fingers.

"Watched and learned?! What kind of monster is she!" Megumi thought in shock, looking at me.

- Yes? Are you sure about that? - Satoru asked curiously.

- Yes, my eye. I haven't fully unlocked its power yet, and let me explain it to you later, it's going to be a long conversation. - I said, almost begging at the end.

- Okay, then I'll ask you both a question. What should we do with him? - Gojo asked, pointing at Itadori.

- According to magical laws, Itadori should be executed. - Megumi said darkly, slightly bowing his head before looking at the teacher with determination. - But I don't want to stand there and watch him die.

- Is it personal?

- Yes, please do something.

- What do you say? - the mage turned to me.

- In Itadori, you will gain a loyal comrade and a very powerful shaman in the future. And he's a good guy, it's a pity that I couldn't stop him from becoming a vessel, but I know that you, sensei, will save him. - I said with a bright smile, before adding gloomily. - The main thing is that all sorts of old farts don't find out that it is possible to get rid of Sukuna without Itadori.

- Hahaha, you can tell right away that she's a student worthy of me! If they believe in me so much, then I won't let you down. - The teacher said with a smile on his face and giving us a thumbs up.
