76
The residual heat of battle still coursed through his veins, and every breath carried the burning intensity of thunder, numbing his fingertips. With a crisp snap of his fingers, the narrow blade, shrouded in lightning, flew back like a migratory bird returning to its nest. Lightning danced across his fingertips like a dancing silver snake.
"The special training has just begun—" the genius said with a fighting look on his face, "I haven't had enough fun yet."
She glanced at her classmates' pale faces and suddenly smiled like a lily.
"I'll be gentle." It was a sweet and cheerful voice, but for some reason it was even more creepy than when she was fighting Ryomen Sukuna just now.
The comfort had no effect at all, and their faces became even uglier.
"...Hmm." The girl folded her arms, her gaze slowly sweeping over her anxious classmates. After a moment's silence, she placed her palms against her cheeks and rubbed them, as if to wipe away her excitement.
Her eyebrows curved into the familiar crescent shape, and her familiar gentle smile brightened her face again. Even her voice was as sweet as honey: "Okay, let's finish the special training quickly. I'll cook a meal to reward everyone tonight. Please support us and order!"
Gentle words need to be paired with a smile and concrete actions to be truly effective. Look, after hearing these words, they were like lambs whose guards were lowered, their eyes lighting up.
Oh, they are so gullible. I am embarrassed to say that I am just kidding them.
"Get ready—!"
The young men and women tensed, lowering their weight and clenching their fists in a fighting stance. Their fingertips flew, forming complex hand seals. Heavy curse tools gleamed coldly, while hammers and light curse nails were gripped in their palms. Each one took up a stance at optimal attack range, their eyes ablaze with undying fighting spirit.
Be extremely alert!
They were about to face a genius who could talk and laugh with the Curse King, a monster who could repel the Curse King without a scratch. This wasn't training, but a real battle where their lives were at stake! They had to push themselves to their limits!
The narrow blade behind Hipper suddenly vibrated at a high frequency, and the lightning wrapped around it twisted like a living thing. Following a sharp metallic buzz, several streaks of silver light poured down upon the crowd—this momentary flash became the signal flare that ignited the battlefield.
The figures of both sides suddenly rose up at the same time, and the sword lights and cursed energy collided violently in the center of the battlefield.
Preemptive attack——!
As strong attackers, Yuji Itadori and Panda are the first to attack and block the girl's advance. Yuji, with his extraordinary physique, excels in close combat, while Panda's strength and destructive power complement him. With double-A power and speed, the Cursed Vessel's strength is indeed remarkable.
The two figures turned into afterimages. Itadori Yuji's straight punch and Panda's palm strike blocked Hipper's way forward.
"Ah~ Nice strength." The girl gracefully held the tactical knife across her chest, but she didn't even have the intention to fight back.
As the anchor shifted, Yuji Itadori and Panda were thrown aside by her, and their punches all missed. "It's just that the aim was a little off." She chuckled and adjusted her hair that was messed up by the wind from the punch.
As the first line of defense collapsed, Maki's nunchaku sliced through the air, cutting off her path. The girl's smile deepened as she reflected the cold light of Youyun in her eyes. "Nice weapon."
The special-grade cursed tool Youyun was once used by the sorcerer killer Fushiguro Shinobu.
The girl smiled with her teeth showing, and drove the lightning to bombard her. The people paralyzed by the electric current were frozen for a short time, and this second was enough for her to break through the defense line.
At the moment when her opponent twitched, the girl licked her fangs and passed by: "It's just not insulated."
"What about this?"
"Man Xiang——!"
A giant elephant leaped from Megumi Fushiguro's hand, crushing the ground and instantly transforming the battlefield into a swamp. The lightning dancing from Hipper's fingertips suddenly died—on this artificial lake, every bolt of lightning could become a double-edged sword, a potential indiscriminate attack.
He knew very well that even the most powerful thunder mage wouldn't dare to unleash his full power in knee-deep water. The battle shifted at this moment.
The girl clucked her tongue and retracted the lightning. The puddle created by the elephant turned her invincible technique into its greatest weakness. Electric current did not distinguish between friend and foe.
"Clever tactic."
The tip of the boot lightly touched the water, causing dangerous ripples, and Hipper gave a word of encouragement with great satisfaction.
“Good cooperation.”
The anchor point deflected the spikes Wild Rose had launched, while Hipper simultaneously compressed the lightning surrounding her body back into her body. Across from her, Fushiguro Megumi's shikigami, Nue, hovered in mid-air, ready to strike at any moment. "Well, that's a good strategy, too."
Although he had lost the advantage of using the technique, it wasn't the end of the world.
"Although hand-to-hand combat is not my style, it is not my weakness." The girl held the knife in her backhand, spoke in a light tone, and took a fighting stance.
"I'm an academic and not good at sweating." She blinked gently, her tone very cute.
No one dared to believe what she said now.
"Be careful."
The backhand knife grip suddenly turned into a fighting stance.
"The highest record for Black Flash... is four times, right?" Blue cursed power wrapped around his arms like flames, and Hipper grinned, revealing his fangs.
“This record should be updated~”
The rising tail tone had not yet dissipated, and the figure rushed out like an arrow!
Yuji's fist sliced through the air, a tentative 70% force. Although the girl claimed to be not good at hand-to-hand combat, her reputation as a genius was well-deserved, and she could not be deceived by the words of a scholar who disliked sweating.
Muscle memory reacts before thinking - to deal with such a hidden opponent, you must use your body to measure the depth of danger yourself.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of fists colliding with each other continued to explode, and in the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than ten attacks and defenses. Itadori Yuji's pupils contracted violently - when the seventh fists collided, he was finally convinced: this was no scholar, but a complete combat genius.
The arc of her every roundhouse kick, the angle of her every elbow strike, even the rhythm of her breathing—they were all terrifyingly precise!
This isn't some academic thing; this is a top-tier killer! She's truly a genius. Whether it's her technique or her physical skills, she's impeccable. And—her fighting skills are incredible! She's completely professional!
"Black Flash!"
A fist shining with black cursed energy swung towards Yuji Itadori, but he was caught by the shikigami hovering in the air and dodged as much as possible. The fist landed and blasted a hole in the ground. Just when he was relieved by the lethality, the next second -
"Black Flash!" The tactical knife in the girl's hand flashed with black cursed energy, leaving her palm and shooting towards the shikigami. Her target had always been the bird flying in the sky.
Nue was hit by the tactical knife, lost its combat capability and dissipated.
"Try harder."
Subtly adjusting her stance to veer away from the front line, her cursed energy coalesced into a dangerous vortex in her palm. Hipper suddenly lowered her center of gravity, once again adopting a fighting stance. Her gaze passed over Yuuhito and Maki in the front row, darting directly to Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara in the back.
In a team battle, you have to kill the back row first.
"Could you cooperate more?"
The ground cracked the instant he pushed with his toes. "As a sorcerer, you must always be wary of sneak attacks from behind."
Using Anchor Point Transfer, she teleported behind Wild Rose. Just as the girl's hand was about to touch her arm, she was struck by the Curse Master's curse. Her body froze briefly, but in that split second, Wild Rose seized the opportunity. She controlled the nails arranged around her and lightly snapped her fingers.
"Chu Ling Spell - Hairpin!" The vibration of the nails, the buzzing sound of the resonating spell power, and a series of explosions. All the sounds were in the roar of the explosions, and the smoke and dust drowned the girl's figure.
"Yeah, that's amazing."
A young girl's voice suddenly rang out from outside the smoke. Everyone turned their heads to see her calmly resting one hand on her waist, the other hand slowly unzipping her combat uniform to allow some air in.
"It almost exploded on me."
"The timing was good."
The girl pinched the back of her neck and readjusted herself, "It's time to be serious." Let's finish it quickly, take a shower and go out to buy some food to prepare dinner.
"What are we having for dinner?" She uttered these careless words, but the cursed energy emanating from her body caused the ground to crack. The contrast between this homely conversation and the murderous intent was even more chilling. The girl's eyes darkened, and a dangerous aura gradually emanated from her.
As her mind jumped between dinner options, her muscle memory automatically switched to combat mode. This sense of schism, juxtaposing everyday life with murder, was the most frightening trait of genius.
"Black Flash."
The fist shining with black cursed power hit everyone without bias, evenly distributed, exactly six, including the two that missed before,
"Eight times." Gojo Satoru softly counted the number of times the girl had used Black Flash in succession. "That's incredible."
“It’s dazzling.”
Ieiri Naoko blew out a light smoke ring, and through the hazy smoke, she watched the girl who had just finished her special training. When she saw her casually wipe the blood off her cheek, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up - another incredible monster was born.
Oh, no, I should say she is a genius.
The genius walked towards Gojo Satoru, stood in front of him, and spread his palms in front of him.
"?"
Are you hungry?
He was a little confused. "Was it too much? But there's no more. I ate them all. Not a single one is left."
Gojo Satoru waved the empty dessert bag, and after the two looked at each other for three seconds—
Hipper:oO?
"Teacher Gojo..." The girl squeezed out his last name from between her teeth, "Didn't I ask you to hold it for me? Why did you eat it?" She asked through gritted teeth, wanting to give him a Black Flash.
"Ah, I'm hungry." The man answered her cheerfully, shaking the empty box. "Besides, you don't like it, right? I'll help you out reluctantly."
“…”
The little genius looked at him resentfully, dismantled the data structure, and sent everyone out of the simulated universe.
"I hate teachers the most."
"snort."
She left the training ground with a blank face and rushed to take a shower while sweating.
"Desserts and such are the most annoying."
Ahaha, the little genius got angry because he didn’t replenish sugar in time.
"I want to eat hot pot tonight! Not spicy!" And the genius-enraged teacher Gojo was still loudly ordering food behind him. Wasn't he really adding fuel to the fire?
"So annoying! Do it yourself!"
Just ran using the anchor point.
…
"Oh, obviously I really like it."
He smiled and walked towards the students who collapsed on the ground.
Whether it's the dessert or Gojo-sensei, he can't take his eyes off them and yet he insists on saying he hates them. His hypocrisy is also very cute!
