Chapter 85: Confusion

Yuki stared at the bloody figure. Pressing its finger on its forehead. Yuki stares at the figure with shocked eyes. The figure starts to walk towards Yuki with his black hair flowing behind him. Yuki glances behind her and sees that Mute's body is gone, however, the man standing in front of her isn't Mute instead it is Geto.

Geto stops a few feet away from Yuki. A deranged smile appears on his face before he speaks, but his voice is distorted and covered in an odd eerie sound.

" Hello, Yuki, It's been a while "

Yuki stared at the figure confused. The reverse cursed energy was rapidly pouring off Geto's body. However, Yuki knew for sure that the man standing in front of her was definitely not Geto. 

" Who are you? "

Screamed Yuki. The thing standing in front of Yuki turned its head to the side before a sad look appeared on its face. Geto's face glitches in and out, making the entity's face turn blank before Geto's face reappears. 

The thing lets out a loud sigh before it speaks once again. 

"Ah, I thought I did a good job acting like him. When we're in the log cabin he would always place his thumb on his forehead. "

The entity's face morphs into Mute's. Yuki stares at Mute in shock as she steps back confused. Yuki analyzes Mute's body trying to figure out what his reverse cursed technique could be before Mute shrinks the distance appearing next to Yuki. 

Mute and Yuki lock eyes before Mute throws a powerful punch that slams into Yuki's chin making her feet skid across the ground. Yuki comes to a stop before spitting out blood. Mute's punches have become stronger. Yuki stares at Mute before speaking.

" What the hell is your cursed technique reversal Mute? "

Mute looks at Yuki with an amused look on his face, before he speaks responding to her question. 

" Truthfully, I'm not sure myself. Compared to my normal technique this one is far more complicated, but if I had to take a guess, I'd call it stagnation. "

Mute's cursed technique reversal is an odd one. The technique " Stagnation " is the ability to stagnate all natural things, stopping their natural process such as rain falling, snow freezing, and even life being created. However, that isn't everything about his reversed technique. If his reversed technique was just " Stagnation " he could never morph his body into Geto's.

But the information flooding into Mute's brain is overwhelming his memory, making him strain his mind trying to figure out what the second part of his RCT is. It'll take weeks, maybe even months for Mute to figure out what the rest of his RCT is. Yuki and Mute glare at each other before Mute starts to chuckle and he speaks. 

" Don't worry I don't plan on fighting you anymore. Besides the odds of me beating you and Gojo at the same time are slim to none and most likely Miguel has lost already. And I've got some loose ends to handle."

Yuki stares at Mute with her fingers twitching. Mute looks to the left before the halted snow starts to fall down from the sky once again. Mute's aura is different now. His face was always filled with killing intent however, now his face is calm and peaceful. Mute continues to stare to the left before he speaks. 

" Do you know where Naobito Zenin would be at Yuki? "...

At the same time, Mute asked Yuki this question. Inside the right side of the forest, the sound of fighting could be heard followed by an arrogant voice mocking. 

" No wonder you hid behind Mute and Geto. You both are useless. " 

Says Naoya staring at an injured and fatigued Mimiko and Nanako. As soon as Suda left to regroup the remaining amount of curses. Mimiko and Nanako were ambushed by Naoya. Being quickly overwhelmed, Mimiko and Nanako glance at each other before nodding their heads, lunging forward at Naoya.

Their footsteps are in unison as they separate coming to the sides of Naoya. Mimiko yanks on the rope wrapped around her plushie creating a noose around Naoya's arm. Naoya's arm is yanked to the left making his feet slide towards Mimiko as Nanako throws a kick that slams into Naoya's chest. 

Naoya is propelled back as a smug grin appears on his face. Mimiko twists her body and uses all her strength to lift Naoya off his feet. Naoya gets flung through the air while his eyes stare at Nanako pointing her phone towards his body. 

A picture snap ripples out as several trees behind Naoya vanish. Nanako drops to one knee before a kick slams into her temple propelling her body into the ground. Mimiko stares at Naoya standing next to her sister in shock. Naoya's movements are far too fast for Mimiko and Nanako's eyes to track. 

Mimiko grabs onto her plushie and is about to pull on the rope wrapped around her plushie before Naoya's body flickers and reappears directly in front of her. Naoya slams his palm into Mimiko's stomach trapping her in a glass panel before he spins throwing a powerful kick, shattering the glass. 

Mimiko's body slides across the grass before her back violently slams into an oak tree causing blood to leak out of her nose. Naoya stands in the middle of the two injured sisters lying on the ground in agony. Naoya scoffs before speaking. 

" I still wonder why you are included in Geto's group. Were you the maids or something? "

Naoya chuckles to himself before he looks over and watches as Nanako slowly pushes herself off the ground but before she can stand up. Naoya sprints over and kicks Naoya's arms from under her making her collapse onto the ground once again. 

Naoya flips Nanako over using his leg making her look up into the dark sky. Naoya stares down at her before violently stomping down slamming his foot on her skull and busting open her nose. A grin appears on Naoya's face as he repeatedly slams his foot onto Nanako's face while mocking her. 

" What's wrong? Geto and Mute aren't here to save you anymore so what's your plan- "

Before Naoya finishes one of his stomps a noose is wrapped around his leg. Naoya snaps his head back and looks at Mimiko staring at him with an enraged look on her face. Naoya scoffs while reaching into his white robe before pulling out a knife. 

Naoya lifts his leg up before slicing off the noose and speaking to Mimiko while slowly approaching her. 

" Tch, I was going to save you for last but I respect your futile efforts to save your sister, so I'll give you the luxury of dying first. "

Naoya took a few steps until hurried footsteps could be heard behind him. In a sudden burst of energy, Nanako leapt off the ground throwing a wild punch. Naoya scoffs seeing the sloppy punch easily leaning back avoiding the attack. Nanako stumbled forward from missing until Naoya's right hand blurred and a razor-sharp knife stabbed through Nanako's temple.

Mimiko stared at Nanako in disbelief while Naoya twisted the blade increasing the size of the wound before violently yanking the knife out causing blood to spew down the side of Nanako's head. Nanako's body starts to tremble before another swift stab pierces into her neck. 

" NO! "

Yelled out Mimiko watching her sister's lifeless corpse flop onto the ground. Veins popped out of Mimiko's head as she yanked on the rope several times creating nooses all around Naoya's limbs and neck. Naoya's body started to be pulled from all sorts of directions until in a swift circular motion, Naoya's arm blurred easily slicing through the ropes.

Naoya pulled the sliced noose off his neck as he continued to mock Mimiko 

" No need to get angry you will shortly join her. "

A cruel grin appeared on Naoya's face as he lunged towards Mimiko still leaning on the oak tree. Mimiko's eyes widen seeing Naoya's feet coming to a sliding stop, as the tip of his knife inches closer to her right eye...

Back in Kyoto. A woman could be seen crouched over next to a mangled body. The woman placed her hand on the mangled body's back before the body wounds started to heal. Shoko was crouching over Maki's body healing her.

Shoko had just arrived at Jujutsu High after seeing the massive explosion caused by Yuta and Geto's final attacks clashing together. Shoko stared at Maki's bloody body with a look of guilt on her face. Shoko let out a loud sigh before murmuring to herself.

" I shouldn't have been so caught up in worrying about the sorcerers in Shinjuku. Geto's plan in hindsight was obvious. "

After a few minutes, Maki's eyes snap open as she painfully pushes off the ground with old blood leaking out of her mouth. Maki gets into a kneeling position before staring at Shoko with her hand on Maki's right shoulder still healing her. 

Maki glances around at the destroyed courtyard before panic runs through her body and she asks Shoko a question. 

" W-What happened to Geto? "

Shoko grins at Maki before responding to her question.

" He lost to Yuta. "...

Back in the forest. Naoya was wildly swinging his blade at Mimiko's face. A deranged grin appeared on his face as his blade approached Mimiko's pupil. Mimiko's right pupil dilates seeing the blade inching closer. Mimiko's legs begin to shake in fear until suddenly the blade of Naoya snaps. 

Naoya's eyes widen until he feels something grab onto his right shoulder. Sweat begins to pour down Naoya's face feeling the powerful grip on his shoulder until a calm voice speaks.

"It's been a while hasn't it Naoya. "...
