End of the School Goodwill Event

Will Eiji kill Mai?

The answer is, of course, no.

While it's true that the other party shot a bullet towards his head, the attack failed, and Eiji was unharmed. So, there's no need to cause unnecessary trouble.

However, he couldn't let Mai escape without punishment for her attempted lethal attack.

(A second-degree burn should suffice.)

In his mind, Eiji considered how severe Mai's injuries would be from his counterattack.

As the bearer of the Six Eyes, he had absolute control over his Cursed Energy.

Adjusting the intensity of his attack was easy.

"Curse Technique Reversal: Scarlet."

Focusing on Mai, who was trying to escape, Eiji released an arrow entirely made of flames.

*Whoosh*

The fire arrow shot through the air, bringing extreme heat that made the surroundings scorching hot.

*Whoosh*

Noritoshi fired several arrows, trying to disrupt the path of the fire arrow. Unfortunately, it was futile. When the two arrows met, Noritoshi's arrow immediately turned to ashes.

"Mai!!!"

Under his helpless gaze, he could only watch the fire arrow explode near Mai.

*BOOM*

The fire arrow exploded violently, and the fire spread to the surrounding environment, burning trees and other vegetation within a 50-meter radius.

"This is not the time to worry about others."

As Noritoshi saw Eiji suddenly appear in front of him, his pupils shrank, and his mood was chaotic. However, he quickly regained his composure thanks to his training as the heir of the Kamo Family.

"Kamiki Eiji, isn't your action too excessive? It's true that we were the first to take action against you, but there's no rule about cooperating to defeat the opponent. Instead, you have violated the rules!"

He placed their actions on a high moral ground.

1 VS 5.

No matter how people looked at it, it was despicable if five people attacked one person simultaneously.

However, Noritoshi didn't feel ashamed. After all, the party they attacked was not an ordinary person but a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Even after their cooperation, the other party was not injured at all, and instead, they were in a pitiful condition.

Todo and Miwa were unconscious, Momo was lightly injured, Mechamaru was severely damaged, and Mai's fate was unknown. Only Noritoshi remained in prime condition.

"Excessive? Me? Kamo Noritoshi, can you say that when facing Cursed Spirits or illegal Jujutsu Sorcerers? Do you expect your enemies to go easy on you? If you think like that, the Kamo Family has truly declined in this generation."

"You!!!"

Although expressionless, Eiji's sarcastic words made Noritoshi very angry.

"This isn't over yet!"

From his Storage Ring, he took out a blood bag and threw it towards Eiji.

"Crimson Binding."

The blood inside the bag exploded, spreading and forming an outer net to ensnare the target.

"Tsk, Infinity is quite annoying."

Seeing the stagnant blood net in the air, Noritoshi realized the reason his attack failed was due to Infinity.

As the heir of the Kamo Family, he had a deeper understanding of Infinity compared to ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers, who saw Infinity only as an invisible barrier.

"Is that all?" Eiji asked nonchalantly.

"Damn it! Even as the bearer of the Six Eyes, you can't activate Infinity continuously!"

Making excuses to make himself feel better, Noritoshi took another blood bag.

He controlled his blood to spin like a wheel at high speed to create bladed projectiles.

"Slicing Exorcism."

"Curse Technique Lapse: Blue."

Before the blood projectiles approached him, Eiji made Blue appear behind the other party. As a result, whether it was the blood projectiles or Noritoshi, anything around was affected by the pulling force.

Before Noritoshi could fully hit Blue, Eiji nullified Blue. Otherwise, Noritoshi would have died.

Although Noritoshi survived Blue, he couldn't escape from the blood projectiles when pulled by the gravitational force. As a result, he received his own attack and fell to the ground covered in blood.

"Finished."

Eiji nodded satisfactorily after defeating the students from Kyoto Jujutsu High.

From the start, except for Todo, he didn't like them, including Gakuganji Yoshinobu.

The reason was simple; they were too obedient to the Higher-ups' orders!

When Yuji participated in the School Goodwill Event, only Todo refused to follow the order to kill Yuji.

Eiji's impression of Kyoto Jujutsu High was quite negative.

"Ahem, since all the students of Kyoto Jujutsu High School suffered injuries due to unintended accidents, it's decided that the School Goodwill Event is canceled."

Satoru's voice through the speaker echoed throughout the forest.

Maki, Panda, and Toge were surprised to hear this announcement.

They had been searching and hunting down Cursed Spirits scattered in the forest, so they were unaware of the incident that occurred.

"Canceled? Something extraordinary must have happened."

Stabbing a Cursed Spirit into the ground, Maki felt uneasy for some reason.

"Let it go; no need to think about it too much. I'll find out once we're back."

Twirling her spear, she walked towards the school building area.

Panda and Toge also hurried back.

...

The bullet train began to depart from Kyoto Station to Tokyo.

Sitting in the seat next to Panda, Maki crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the floor, her gaze fixed on Eiji playing with his phone as if he didn't notice her.

Her mood turned sour when she learned that her younger sister, Mai, suffered second-degree burns. What surprised her was that the perpetrator who caused her younger sister's severe injuries was Eiji!

On the surface, this sibling relationship was not harmonious and even hostile. But in Maki and Mai's hearts, they cared for each other, they just didn't show it.

No wonder Maki was upset with Eiji when she found out her younger sister was severely injured by him.

"Is there something you want to say, Kamiki?"

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Maki couldn't take it anymore and took the initiative to speak.

"I hurt your sister. For that, I'm sorry."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to apologize."

Not only Maki, but Toge and Panda were also surprised to see Eiji apologize without making excuses to justify his actions.

"Don't do it again. Mai is my only little sister. I don't want to lose her because of my friend."

Knowing that Eiji didn't like to talk much, Maki sighed, deciding to forgive him.

She didn't entirely blame him. She also heard the reason for canceling this year's School Goodwill Event. Furthermore, Mai's burn wound will be healed by Shoko using the Reverse Cursed Technique.

Mai, along with other Kyoto Jujutsu High students, surrounded and attacked Eiji together.

All Eiji did was defend himself.

"Um."

After that, Eiji continued to watch short videos on YouTube.

"I'm glad you two made peace. It scared me."

Panda patted his chest and sighed in relief.

"Salmon." Toge nodded.

He didn't want any rifts among his friends. However, there were only four students in the first year of Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

After the conflict was resolved, the atmosphere became cheerful again with Panda and Toge's presence.

Eiji seemed like an observer, merely watching their interactions.

Maki would occasionally join the conversation.

Thus, the School Goodwill Event ended in failure for the second time.

The first was caused by Satoru and Suguru during their high school days, who were too dominant, and the Kyoto Jujutsu High students couldn't resist.

The second was Eiji alone defeating all the participating Kyoto Jujutsu High students in the School Goodwill Event.
