Chapter 10 : Okkotsu Yuta

In addition to physical training, Genichi has to practice his techniques daily. Over the years, he has gained a lot of experience in the normal use of his techniques. Under the guidance of Gojo Satoru, he has also gained some ideas about the "reversal technique ".

If [Wheel of Time: Turn] is to speed up the time of something, then the reversal of the technique [Wheel of Time: Reverse] is naturally the opposite: time reversal!

The cursed power of a sorcerer is extracted from negative emotions. If this cursed power is regarded as negative energy, it can generally only be used for fighting. However, if the sorcerer multiplies his own cursed power with the cursed power, just like two negatives equal a positive, he will get positive energy.

This stable positive energy can be used to heal the human body. Still, it is different for each person and is very rare. Currently, Miss Ieiri Shoko, a doctor at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, is the most powerful person who has [Reverse Curse Technique].

If this "positive energy" is injected into the sorcerer's natural technique, the technique can be reversed, which is called technique reversal.

Gojo Satoru naturally knows this, although his [Reverse Cursed Technique] can only heal himself. And Genichi is also very concerned about this aspect. After all, as a veteran in the game, he knows how important this recovery skill is.

He did succeed in extracting positive cursed energy. Still, perhaps because of his lack of expertise, it could not be maintained for too long. It was not enough to repair broken arms or organs at will.

But it is still useful after all. It allows Genichi to initially master the technique [Wheel of Time: Reverse]. Even if the positive cursed energy can only last for a short time, it is enough for Genichi to inject positive cursed energy into his technique and do [Wheel of Time: Reverse].

Genichi is still practising in this area and has not really mastered it at will. The amount of cursed energy consumed by his technique [Wheel of Time: Reverse] varies depending on the extent of use. 

Most of the time, it consumes much more than the [Wheel of Time: Turn]. At present, with his rough application, he has achieved a certain degree of neutralization between the 'Reverse' and the 'Turn' of the technique.

That is to say, Genichi uses the [Wheel of Time: Turn] technique to accelerate himself. He also does not have to worry about the possible impact of the technique on his body because of the [Wheel of Time: Reverse] technique. So he doesn't have to be afraid if he suddenly becomes an old man.

When he uses [Wheel of Time: Turn], he enters the state that is called the [Infinity] state, meaning that time almost has no meaning because he has nearly infinite time for himself in that state. Of course, that is relative. The longer time he spends in [Infinity] state, the more cursed energy he uses, and the more pressure he gets on his mind and brain. That is why the technique [Wheel of Time: Reverse] is a critical key for Genichi.

By the way, Gojo Satoru suggested the name for the state he is in when he uses the technique. Genichi originally thought of a very long name, but it was rejected by the loud Gojo Satoru.

In that state, Genichi had tried it with the cooperation of Gojo Satoru. He could instantly hit the enemy with countless attacks like a storm or win with just one strike. That was a lightning-fast strike that surpassed any reaction speed!

As for why he didn't use it in the previous mission, it was because the cursed spirit was too weak! It couldn't even withstand his serious punches, so how could it be qualified to withstand the ultimate move! 

Genichi's usual means of attack is still to use the Zenith bow and then look for opportunities to accelerate the cursed arrows. Under Maki's training, Genichi also considers getting a sword-like cursed tool for close combat attacks.

Think about it: if the enemy can break through his long-range attack and reach him with extremely fast blows, even if the enemy is strong enough, he can just speed up himself and use both fist and sword to send out [Black Flash] to completely crush the enemy!

"What are you laughing at?"

Genichi, who was laughing strangely, was hit by Maki, who was walking over and staggered. Panda behind him came over and mysteriously said, "I heard that there will be a new first-year student enrolling!"

Genichi's eyes lit up when he heard this. Since Panda had the principal, Yaga Masamichi, as its "real father", this news seemed very credible. That was to say, they would soon have another new student, and the number of students in the first grade would reach five. 

Gojo Satoru further confirmed this news after he appeared. "It's the day after tomorrow, everyone get ready to welcome new classmates!" 

Maki pointed at Gojo Satoru with a deadpan expression, "Why is he more excited than us?"

Genichi leaned on the back of the chair and swayed slightly back and forth to keep his balance, and the slightly curly hair on his head shook with it.

He changed his hairstyle a few days ago and dyed it a greyish colour. The first time he returned, Maki laughed at him, "What kind of hairstyle is that?" Genichi retorted a few words and was chased by the angry Maki again.

Hearing Maki's words, Genichi waved his hand: "Ah? Aren't you used to it yet? Gojo-sensei has always been like this~."

One day later, the four of them walked to the classroom together, ready to meet the new classmate. On the way, Panda heard the news from somewhere and said as he walked, "I heard that the new student stuffed four classmates into the locker before he transferred in."

Maki asked from the side, "Did he injure them?"

Toge also asked curiously, "Tuna mayonnaise?"

Panda shook his head: "Yeah, I heard they was seriously injured."

"Well, forget it. If he gets too crazy, we can just give him a good beating." Maki said as she walked in front without turning her head.

"Maki is so scary." Panda pinched his voice and echoed Genichi: "Yes, yes, it's so scary~"

Maki's face was full of black lines, and she walked towards the classroom with a playful look. Not long after she sat in the classroom, Gojo Satoru came in. He almost spun into the classroom and said, with slightly exaggerated movements, expressions, and tone, "Next, let's introduce the transfer students. Let's have fun!"

Then, he was greeted by a silent atmosphere. Seeing this, Gojo Satoru froze in his tracks and said weakly, "Let's have a more lively atmosphere."

Maki was leaning against her cursed tool at the table. She was sitting sideways with her legs crossed. "I heard he's a difficult person to get along with. Who wants to create an atmosphere for that kind of guy?"

"Salmon."

Toge and Panda agreed with Maki's words. Genichi is feeling a little sleepy at the moment. He watched anime and played games too late last night, and now he is lacking in energy.

And he was still thinking, are there other students in this class? Why do I remember that there were only three of them, Maki and the others! It seems that a name was mentioned before. Could it be this transfer student?

"Forget it."

Seeing that he failed to liven up the atmosphere, Gojo Satoru did not get discouraged and shouted loudly to the outside of the door: "Come in!"

Meanwhile, outside the door.

A young man with black hair and white clothes stood outside with some trepidation. The atmosphere inside seemed so quiet that it made people feel a little uneasy...

After hearing Gojo Satoru's shout, he paused momentarily, held the door handle, took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked in with his head slightly lowered.

The moment the new classmate appeared, Genichi, who was a little sleepy, woke up immediately. What a strong curse!

Maki's originally cold expression also changed colour. Panda and Gojumaki were both shocked. Every step the young man in white took when he walked in seemed to step on their hearts.

The thick aura of the curse almost took shape. In the deep darkness behind it, there was a vaguely horrifying presence, bringing a sense of oppression that was simply suffocating.

Maki reached out and took the naginata next to her. Panda also put on boxing gloves. Toge beside him pulled down his collar, ready to cast a technique at any time.

The poor boy in white walked to the desk and just raised his head when a sharp blade brushed past his face. Then, he sank deeply into the blackboard against which he was leaning.

"My name is Okkotsu Yuta..."

The frightened student looked at the "four evil men" in front of him and stuttered, unable to say the next words. Maki held the hilt of the knife with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "You... are cursed! How can you become a student here? What are you doing..."

Panda pretended to be ferocious, but Genichi, who was standing a little behind, felt something was wrong. The curse energy on this young man was too huge. The stronger his perception, the more he could sense the fatal threat.

"Something's wrong..."

Quietly retreating a few steps, Gojo Satoru, who was now standing by the door, said leisurely: "There are more than 10,000 unexplained deaths or disappearances in the country every year, many of which are caused by curse spirits born from human negative emotions."

"Some of them were done by curse user, and the only way to deal with a curse spirit and curse user is to exorcise it. This is the Tokyo Jujutsu High School, where you can learn how to exorcise curses."

The boy in white had a sad face: "Why didn't you tell me in advance..."

Several people here turned around and looked at Gojo Satoru in silence. It can be said that their perception of how unreliable he was was once again refreshed.

Gojo Satoru apologized insincerely, then as if remembering something, he said, "You'd better stay away from him..."

At this moment, it was as if a ferocious beast was panting behind them. The hairs on their bodies stood up, and a fine layer of cold sweat climbed up their backs.

The four people looked back and saw that the blackboard behind the new classmate was stained with an ink-like colour and then surged like water.

Two pale, ferocious arms that were obviously not human stretched out one after another. One hand easily grasped Maki's naginata. The latter was so frightened that he immediately dropped his weapon and took a few steps back with the other three.

Then a strange voice that sounded like a little girl rang out: "No..."

The new student showed panic on his face, but it was not because of fear of this existence but because he was worried that it would hurt others.

He raised one of his hands to try to stop the owner of these arms: "Rika... don't!"

Before the words were finished, the little girl's voice suddenly burst out: "...Hurt Yuta." His other free hand immediately protected the few people. Maki felt a sense of pressure that almost made her unable to move.

Maki gritted her teeth and said to Genichi, "Genichi, you first..." Maki glanced over and suddenly saw that Genichi, who was standing next to her, had disappeared, and the words in her mouth were stillborn.

When I raised my eyes again, I saw Genichi standing at the door, looking at me with a gloating smile.

Genichi was already tense, and when the two arms appeared, he decisively chose, "You can beat it." Are you kidding? This made him feel like the second-level curse spirit in the hospital last time was like a little baby.

So, Genichi decisively chose to escape. Although Gojo Satoru was often unreliable, he shouldn't be so unreliable in this matter. He would still take action even if the cursed spirit started a fatal attack. Moreover, the grab was not very powerful. Was it because the man was restrained?

Things did develop in this way. Maki, Panda and Toge were just beaten up, and the terrifying existence that had not been seen in its entirety disappeared behind the man again.

Gojo Satoru then jumped out to introduce the new classmate in detail to everyone. In short, Rika, his childhood sweetheart, who had promised to marry him when they grew up, died in front of him in an unexpected car accident and then turned into a cursed spirit and cursed him. "That's it! This is the one who was cursed by Rika and who loved him the most. Okkotsu Yuta-san!"

After Gojo Satoru introduced his new student named Okkotsu Yuta in a gorgeous manner, he added: "If you attack Yuta-san, Rika's curse may or may not be activated. In any case, everyone should be careful~"

The three people who had been beaten couldn't help but complain: "Couldn't you have said it earlier?"

It was also the first time that Yuta witnessed Gojo Satoru's manner. Then he heard Gojo Satoru introduce these people one by one:

"This is Zenin Maki, the curse tool user who is good at using special weapons to exorcise curses."

"This is Inumaki Toge, the descendant of the sorcerer. He usually speaks only words related to the fillings in the rice balls. You should communicate with him properly." Toge greeted him with a bump on his head: "Konbu."

He seems like a weirdo. Yuta saw Gojo Satoru pointing at the grey curly-haired boy who had just run away and was not touched by Rika. With a warm smile, Gojo Satoru introduced him, "This is Kamigawa Genichi."

Gojo Satoru paused momentarily as if unsure of what to say and then turned to the next person. 

"Gojo-sensei, why did you skip me? Please say a few more words!" Genichi's smile disappeared, and the handsome introduction he wanted was gone. 

Gojo Satoru turned a deaf ear to him, pointed at the most conspicuous Panda, and said, "This is Panda." The Panda also said, "I am Panda. Please give me your guidance."

Then Gojo Satoru stroked his chin and said, "That's probably it."

Poor Yuta could only complain silently in his heart: "That's a panda! A panda that walks upright and can talk! How come the thing I want to know the most is not explained?"

Gojo Satoru clapped his hands and said, "Very good. There are five first-year students now. It's really lively. I will divide you into groups for the practice this afternoon."

"Toge and Panda are in one group; Maki and Yuta are in another."

Genichi raised his hand: "Gojo-sensei, what about me?"

Gojo Satoru smiled brightly: "You have a solo mission~"
