22 Ch 22: Last Battle With Toji

Tenshi woke up after a good sleep, he glanced at Shoko and sighed.

Nothing of what he expected happened, he was told to go to sleep after they finished the special bath.

All his preparations went down the drain, he even prepared a comfortable bed!

Regret missing yesterday's chance, he got up and ordered breakfast before washing up.

He got Toji's message yesterday that he would be coming, he has to do some warmup before he arrives since they get straight into fights now.

He learnt all types of weapons in just three weeks, as for the rest of the fighting styles, Toji said it would be better to just realise them during the fights, but with his Rinne-Sharingan it didn't take long.

It would have been good if he found traces of some powerful curses but other than Jogo, no other seems active during this time.

"Shoko-san, I have placed your breakfast on the table, I am leaving for training"

"Hmm, thank you"

He kissed Shoko on her head before leaving.

~~~~~

Toji arrived after half an hour, without saying much he used Mephista and went in.

He made some distance and took a fighting stance, holding two katanas and Quick Silver flying around.

Not long ago he realised he didn't need to use Cursed katanas to fight against Toji, so he got some strong normal ones scattered across here.

This year things have changed a lot, now he doesn't just run away from Toji, every time his Rinne-Sharingan gets evolved his Cursed Energy Reserves and Physique increases.

His current physique is much stronger than any adult.

Just when he expected Toji to attack, Toji silently walked in and stood there.

"What happened?" he asked, confused as to why Toji just stood there.

"Let's talk a bit" Toji said, sitting down on the chair he took out from his curse.

"It's very helpful," Tenshi said with a greedy look.

"You carry a whole dimension with you, can you stop being so desirous kid"

Tenshi gave Toji a puzzled look, why was this guy lecturing him today instead of fighting?

"This will be our last fight!"

Toji announced, expecting a shocked reaction from his student.

And Tenshi was indeed shocked, it's not that he didn't know what was happening, he knew.

He has always kept an eye on the Star Plasma Vessel and yesterday' he figured out that this fight wasn't far away, what he didn't expect, was how this money-loving guy left his job.

Seeing the reaction he expected, Toji continued,

"I am taking on a very important mission now and after that, I am planning to retire"

"Are you sure you want to leave all that money behind?"

"That's what I am gonna talk about next, Tenshi over time you have become stronger at a visible rate but… I don't think this is your limit.

You have never put strength as your priority, lust in your eyes has always been the first thing I see.

I don't understand why you would be like this but I don't care. If you continue like this not to mention Gojo, you wouldn't be able to against the whole seller of Cursed Spirits"

Hearing Toji's words he fell silent, he didn't know what to say, he has always trained hard, he never missed any day of his training, and he trained even yesterday getting such a review from him was heartbreaking.

"I know you train hard, but if you don't give it your all, how do you expect to kill someone who disturbed the World's balance just with his birth?

It is not like I don't have desires, money, women, love, these are things I lust off, but everything comes after strength"

Seeing him look like this, Toji added, he knew his efforts but that wasn't enough.

"I didn't expect such a day to come so soon but you have already learned everything I had to give today, let me see the results in this battle"

Toji said as he got up, he held his Playful Clouds in his hands.

"Tenshi, if you don't fight with your life, you will die today"

"Buhh"

Tenshi felt the taste of the omelette he had for breakfast, slightly acidic.

Playful clouds hit him, straight in his stomach causing him to fly out, the attack was so sudden that his internal organs were hit.

He felt his insides have been turned into a paste, he wanted to heal himself but he didn't get time, he was hit again by the Playful Clouds.

He blocked the blow with his katanas this time which caused him to fly out, using the momentum he shot himself in the sky for a chance to use the Reverse Cursed Technique.

After healing he felt he could think again, but distracting thoughts kept coming into his mind.

'Why did Toji say that?'

'How didn't I give my all during training?'

'What more should I do?'

He didn't think he was skipping on his training, every time he trained he trained until he couldn't get up again, his Reverse Curse Technique would surpass Shoko in some time.

If it wasn't enough what was?

Other than Gojo and Geto, he could have killed anyone present at the party yesterday, even against Geto he was sure he would at least not lose badly.

Toji didn't stop because of the height, he had fought the kid many times.

Toji took out a black stick and smashed it into the ground. He held the other end of the stick as it started to grow longer.

It was the Vajra Stick, a special-grade cursed tool that Toji surely stole from the Zenins.

The soul-split katana hit the arrow coming towards him, as he rushed towards Tenshi with his eyes closed.
