The Attack.

"So, due to some circumstances, she will stay with me today. Can she stay with me today at classes?"

With some excuses, Riko managed to persuade her teacher to allow me to stay with her at classes because there was nowhere else for me to go.

"Koni, your hair is very beautiful. What skincare products do you use?"

"Even your skin is very soft. You must be using expensive skincare products."

Riko's friends gathered around me and asked all sorts of questions after being introduced to me.

Koni was the name Riko chose for me, and after being introduced, I continued to maintain behaving like a teenage girl.

I learned that from a book in the Kyoto Jujutsu High School library. I don't know who put a book describing girls' changes during adolescence there, but I read it anyway.

The morning period passed quickly, and we reached the music class. So, under the teacher's guidance, we headed to a local church .

I took out my phone and called dumb one and dumb two , who were waiting outside the school with the maid. After informing them that we were going to the church, I returned to the group.

The trip went smoothly, and we were not attacked at all. Geto's cursed spirits were lurking around us, monitoring the situation, although he couldn't see through them, he could feel when they were destroyed.

Suddenly, I felt Gojo , Geto and Koroi rushing here quickly. There was only one explanation for that: Geto's cursed spirits had been destroyed, and we were under attack.

I had been sitting next to Riko the whole time, so I signaled her to stay close to me. She understood the signal, and her body tensed up, moving closer to me.

I didn't know if it made her feel safe or if she wanted to distance herself from her friends to avoid hurting them in case something happened. I didn't really care, to be honest.

We were sitting in the back row of the church, so if we needed to retreat, I was close to the door or the window.

I didn't really need it, but it was to avoid drawing attention to ourselves.

"Amanai."

The church door was forcefully opened, and Gojo appeared, followed by Geto and Koroi , although it seemed they were forgotten in the background because of Gojo.

Chaos ensued in the place as the girls screamed and crowded around Rico because of Gojo.

"Riko, is he your lover?"

"He's tall and has white hair."

"Come on, show us your face."

One of the girls shouted loudly, to which Gojo responded with a showy pose, taking off his black glasses.

Damn him, couldn't he be serious and stop these childish antics? We were in the middle of a mission and under attack, yet he still had time to act foolishly.

It felt like one of the blood vessels in my head was about to explode if it weren't for the opportunity he made to take Riko away without anyone noticing.

I pulled her by her collar and put her under my shoulder, exiting through the window outside. There were no enemies nearby; I couldn't even feel their cursed energy, which meant they were good at hiding, but not good enough to hide from me.

The layer of mud around my body dissolved, and I returned to my true appearance. I felt vibrations from the ground around me, and soon a three-dimensional map formed in my mind of everything within a 500-meter radius.

"On the east side of the church, 50 meters away, there are six people who seem to be curse users. Five of them are the same size and weight, so they're likely copies of the same person, but I don't know which one is real."

I told Gojo and Geto, who had come out of the church and stood beside me.

"Your technique can do that too?" Gojo said, surprised by my knowledge.

"I can feel vibrations around me through the ground, so anything that moves its body by a even a millimeter, I can feel it. This applies to living things and others. I call it seismosensory."

I explained, seeing no reason to hide it, and it wasn't useful to him.

"Interesting," he said, looking at me with his blue eyes, although they were beautiful, for me, the Sharingan was more beautiful.

"You can leave this to us and focus on protecting Korey and Rico-chan," Geto said as he released his cursed spirits, preparing for the attack.

I carried Riko and Koroi under my arm, even though I was shorter than both of them, I didn't find it difficult.

I jumped over the church and headed for the forest behind it, which was perfect for shading the enemy in case they managed to pass the duo, which was unlikely given their strength.

"Aaaahh!"

Riko screamed as if it were her death day, which it technically was, while Koroi remained silent, admiring my way of jumping from tree to tree.

With experience from tree to tree, from branch to branch, in the blink of an eye, I had covered enough distance from the church.

Stopping on a branch, while Riko, who had calmed down, and Koroi were under my arm.

"Finally quiet, I thought you were going to start crying in a moment."

I mocked her, making her face turn red. She didn't just allow me to mock her without having revenge.

"It was you who was about to cry; some dust-"

Unfortunately, she didn't finish her words when I staggered backward and fell due to gravity. Fortunately, that allowed me to avoid the sword that was about to split the top of my head.

Hanging upside down on a branch, I watched the attacker regain his composure after his surprise attack failed.

He was tall, about 185 centimeters, with black hair and sharp eyes. He was wearing a black shirt that highlighted his muscular build .

He was wearing white wide sports pants and round his torso was a purple curse that resembled a worm, ending at his shoulder.

Looking at the attacker, Onoki fell into confusion .

'How did he manage to reach me without me feeling him? If it weren't for my seismic sense, I wouldn't have been able to sense him and avoid his attack at the last moment.'

"Oh, you were able to avoid that attack , I wanted to finish the fight with just one blow. What do you think boy, about giving me the plasma star vessel, and we pretend we didn't meet?"

With a somersault, I fell from the tree to the ground and left Riko and Koroi falling to the ground.

I could see fear filling her face when she thought I was going to hand her over. It seems she has little confidence in me, which is good of her.

Unfortunately, I wasn't going to fulfill her fantasies.

"I'm sorry, but this is my first mission, so I can't fail ."

"Unfortunately, I didn't want to kill a little boy."

Although technically I was 12 years old, and my height was 150 centimeters, so I should at least look fourteen years old .

it seem to get me angry when any one call me shorty , It seems to be a complex I acquired in the previous world.

[Earth release : Heavy Rock Technique]

In the blink of an eye, Onoki struck the ground with an extra weight punch of and cursed energy reinforcement. A rift appeared in the ground as massive rock slabs rose due to the force of the punch around the trio, destabilizing everyone's footing and obscuring the enemy's view.

"Hah, do you want to obstruct my vision to escape? Clever, but not enough."

Toji propelled himself through the rocks in one push and cleaved through them with his sword, revealing the trio who hadn't moved yet behind the rocks.

Seeing Toji appear in front of him, Onuki moved to intercept him.

He drew two kunai from the pouches strapped to his legs and deflected the sword heading towards Riko. Unfortunately, Toji sword wasn't ordinary, and the kunai, made of steel without cursed energy reinforcement, couldn't block it.

The kunai were cut in half, and the sword was about to cut Onoki, who stood in front of Riko, but unfortunately for Toji, his goal wasn't going to be achieved that easily.

With a slight movement of Onoki's finger, a thick column rose quickly from the ground and struck Toji's chin, sending him backward.

Toji, who was caught off guard by the unexpected attack, found Koroi behind him with knives ready to stab him. Unfortunately for the girl, even in this situation, Toji could retaliate.

Without looking back, Toji stabbed the girl behind him through her head with his sword, causing her immediate death.

"Koooroooi!!"

Riko, who saw the closest figure to a mother or elder sister killed by Toji, screamed loudly, tears filling her eyes.

Toji didn't look back as he waved the sword in his hand to clean it of blood.

"See what happens when you don't listen to those older than you? If you had handed over the plasma star vessel, this girl wouldn't have had to die."

His words were aimed at me, but he didn't know that I didn't care whether she lived or died. My only task was to deliver the plasma star vessel to "Tengeng Sama," nothing else mattered.

"Sorry, but I don't care. My mission is just to deliver the star plasma vessel. Otherwise, I don't care if she lives or dies," I said as a 2 meter-long needle formed between my hands. Despite the height difference, it felt nostalgic in my hands.

Riko, who had fallen to her knees, her face filled with tears, seemed shocked by my words, but unlike her, Toji was smiling broadly.

"Cold-hearted, I like that."

Despite his words, he didn't intend to ease his attack. I stabbed at his head, but he dodged with skill and countered with a punch to my stomach, which I narrowly avoided.

I grabbed his arm and used it as a basis for flipping over his head, attempting to stab his head while being in the air, but he disappeared from his position.

He appeared beside me, while I was still in the air, then sent me flying with a kick next to Riko.

Despite my quick reflexes and defensive use of the stone staff, which was destroyed, my arm was in an unnatural angle.

I expected him to continue his attack, but he stood there and just stared at me.

"What ? are you tired already, or did you realize the difference in our strength, so you decided to withdraw?"

A smile formed on his face as he said, "You deceived me well, boy."

"What do you mean?" I feigned confusion when I asked.

"Since the first attack, you were able to tell that you wouldn't be able to defeat me. So your choice was to retreat. At first, I thought you were trying to buy time for your friends to arrive, but I was wrong."

"Since your mission requires preserving the safety of the star plasma vessel , your choice to fight me instead of finding a way to escape should be wrong , then I remembered your first attack."

"You didn't just destroy the ground to obstruct my view, but to gain time to switch and escape underground, didn't you, Onoki Kamizuru?"

When I heard his words, I smiled as my plan was revealed, but it was already too late.

Riko stopped crying beside me and dissolved into a haze across the ground. The same thing happened to Koroi's corpse on the side.

As I began to dissolve, I asked him, "What's your name?"

"Toji Fushiguro," he replied as he placed his sword on his neck and walked away.

Away from the battlefield in the forest, in the middle of the city, as I waited for Gojo and Geeto to arrive, with riko and Koroi on my shoulders, I repeated a name.

"Toji Fushiguro."
