Princess Fischl

Chapter 39

- First exchange event: Exorcist race. - Principal Yaga began to broadcast to us, explaining the essence of the first event. - Second rank curses were released into the fenced area of ​​the college, the team that destroys them first will win. In addition, various third rank curses were released, as well as smaller ones. If the winner is not decided by sunset, then the team that destroyed the most curses wins, other than that, there are no other rules.

- Of course, attacking the other team is allowed, but do not forget that you are comrades who are fighting for the same cause. The goal of this competition is to get to know yourself and your comrades. - Meanwhile, while the principal continued to speak, Satoru quietly moved behind him, making horns at the principal and making faces, causing even Utahime to giggle, and Yaga, not noticing the reason for the spectators' amusement, continued. - Please be careful not to kill or injure your comrades. That's all, you're free until noon.

After we were released, the teams from both schools went to a meeting. Having gathered just our group without the teachers, we were now in a small room on the college grounds and now a rather funny situation was unfolding in front of me, which I decided not to interfere in, in general, I noticed that more and more often I like the role of an observer, rather than a direct participant. And so, under silent consent to her actions, Nobara made Itadori sit on her knees while holding a frame in front of her face, which was usually used for photographs of the dead.

- Um... It's somehow cruel considering that we are allies... - Itadori said, while still accepting the girl's punishment.

- Shut up. Sit like this for a bit. - Nobara answered him, standing with her back to him, which is not surprising, because her face clearly shows that she herself has not yet sorted out her feelings, on the one hand, she is glad that he is alive, and on the other, she is offended that he did not tell us that he is alive.

- Well, well. He already explained his situation. So forgive him. - Panda tried to calm the girl's anger.

- It talks! - Yuji was surprised to hear Panda speak, but everyone ignored his cry.

- Shake sushi! Shake sushi! - Inumaki said in support of Panda's words and, unsurprisingly, also caused a completely bewildered reaction from Itadori.

With a heavy sigh, Megumi decided to dispel his partner's doubts a little. - Inumaki-senpai is a spellcaster. This is a type of exorcism where words are used to influence the environment. So he is limited in words.

- So if he tells someone to "die", they will die? Cool! - Itadori said enthusiastically.

- It's not as convenient as it seems. - Panda quickly answered. - It all depends on the user. Strong words have their own backlash, and there is a risk that the words will turn against the caster. Limiting the vocabulary is a kind of self-protection. Also, the stronger the opponent, the more cursed energy is required, as well as the possible backlash.

- Eh, but how do you say it then, senpai?

- He's explaining someone else's technique... - Kugisaki said in amazement.

- It's fine, it won't affect anything. How the Inumaki clan's techniques work is almost common knowledge among magicians. - Maki, who was standing next to him, explained before turning to Itadori. - Yuji. Give me back my demon slayer. Gojou gave it to you, right?

- Well, you see... - Yuji immediately started to sweat, and then suddenly answered, making a serious face. - He... is with Gojo sensei.

- That blind devil! - Maki cursed, and then smiled and looked in my direction. - Speaking of Gojo, what a great blow!

- Well... if it weren't for Inumaki-senpai's technique, I would hardly have been able to deliver that first blow. - I was slightly embarrassed. - And by the way, since we're talking about it, I'm curious, Inumaki-senpai, why don't you use your technique on the surroundings, but only on the curses themselves or the mages?

- Sushi? - The spellcaster looked at me in confusion.

- Um, well, it would be easier to show. - I decided to show in practice what I was talking about, and signs of Inumaki's technique appeared on my face.

- Explode! - Right after my words, the wooden chair in front of me exploded into splinters that powerlessly pounded against the geo-barrier I had set up.

- Something like that, - I said, switching my attention to Inumaki, who had apparently started typing a reply on his phone.

"Without the reverse technique, I can't use my words often, so I have to focus on incapacitating the enemy with one use of the technique." - I saw the guy's reply.

- Hmm, that's true. I've gotten so used to automatically healing myself that I don't even notice that the damned words put a strain on my vocal cords, and the technique is really super convenient. - I nodded at the answer and answered with a smile.

- That's all good, but what about the formation during the event. Should it be changed? We don't have much time.

- Well, that depends on Yuji. What can you do? - Panda asked, while for some reason starting to climb the beams, which strongly reminded ordinary pandas that climbed trees.

- Hitting, kicking...

- We have enough of that. - Panda interrupted him.

- I have no idea what this guy did while he was dead, but if he fights the students of Kyoto and Tokyo without magic power... Then Itadori will win. - Megumi said, surprising the second years.

- Cute. - Maki said with an anticipatory smile.

***

Meanwhile, at the Kyoto team meeting.

- Right now, Itadoi Yuji is in control of this body. He only has one life until Sukuna reveals himself. Killing him should be easy. - The headmaster of the Kyoto Magic College said to the students.

*BOOM*

Suddenly, one of the walls of the room was knocked out.

"It's pointless, do whatever you want." Todo Aoi said as he prepared to leave the room from the hole he had just made.

"Come back, Todo. The director is still talking." Kamo Naritoshi spoke up.

"Takada-chan, the guest on the show at 11 o'clock. Should I continue?"

"Just record your show, now sit down."

"I always watch the show in real time and record it. Are you kidding me?" Todo said with a clear threat on his face. "Listen up, you bastards, and you old man. You've already disappointed me with your taste in women, you can plot as much as you want. But, next time you try to tell me what to do.

"I'LL JUST KILL YOU!"

Having expressed his opinion, the big man left the others to continue listening to the old man's plan to eliminate Sukuna's vessel, with an adjustment for Todo's actions.
