Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Instant Kill

The wind died down slightly, and the sunlight, like gold dust, scattered over Alex Moyan's tall figure, plating him in a layer of golden light, magnificent.

Alex Moyan looked up, eyeing his targets for coming to Jujutsu High this time.

Satoru and Geto Suguru!

Seeing the other party's slow pace, walking step by step without any urgency, Alex Moyan's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

"What's wrong with you guys? Why are you so slow?"

My life has already flashed before my eyes while waiting, how did you guys just get here?

Was my provocation just now not enough?

Looking at Satoru, who was eating an ice cream, Alex Moyan didn't know what to say. It was just early spring, not even summer yet?

Why are you eating ice cream? As expected of the power ceiling of the whole series, this brain is just different from normal people, quite eccentric.

He wasn't naturally a cold person; being that way in the classroom earlier was purely because the plot required it.

He wanted to fight Satoru and Geto Suguru to observe and feel their Cursed Technique through battle.

Then, using his cheat-like Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he would comprehend their Limitless / Limitless Void and Cursed Spirit Manipulation.

As early as two years ago, in terms of Cursed Speech and strength, Alex Moyan had already completely crushed the current head of the Inumaki Clan.

A Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, his strength was top-tier even among First Grade ones.

But Alex Moyan's strength had already reached the terrifying level of a Quasi-Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.

The same rank as Satoru and Geto Suguru.

He was hailed by the Inumaki Clan head as the glory of the Cursed Speech User's restoration, a genius rarely seen in a thousand years.

Just by using Cursed Speech Technique, he could summon thunder and rain or buff himself, reaching a height the head could not attain.

You should know that while Cursed Speech Technique seems simple—eliminating enemies with just a couple of words—its mysteries are actually profound.

And it's extremely damaging to the throat.

After all, a Cursed Speech User needs Cursed Energy to pass through the throat to achieve the effect of the technique.

It's a huge burden on the throat.

Most Cursed Speech Users are unable to speak in their later years, or their throats are severely damaged from past battles, making every word a source of great pain.

It's quite lamentable.

But Alex Moyan broke this eternal binding of Cursed Speech Users.

That's right, he knows Ventriloquism.

Of course, this isn't simple Ventriloquism, but Ventriloquism that can project techniques externally.

It's not that no Cursed Speech User had tried to use Ventriloquism instead of the throat before.

But they failed because the Cursed Energy couldn't be released and could only wander within their own bodies.

However, Alex Moyan, with his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, easily mastered the use of Ventriloquism for techniques; even he didn't fully understand the mysteries behind it.

Perhaps this is the legendary "can only be understood, not explained."

Insight is just that mysterious and incomprehensible.

He naturally reached that realm.

"I'm really sorry, Moyan-kun."

"Satoru suddenly wanted to eat vanilla ice cream halfway here, so we accompanied him to buy one."

"It delayed us a bit, you won't mind, right?" Geto Suguru explained with a beaming smile.

He seemed not to take the previous provocation to heart, as if nothing had happened.

But this fake smile, where the eyes were narrowed into slits...

...made Alex Moyan feel a chill straight to his heart.

Of course, this was exactly what Alex Moyan wanted.

The more they fought him with all their strength and revealed more of their Cursed Technique, the more he would gain.

"Heh, since Satoru likes eating ice cream, let him finish it first."

Alex Moyan gave a cold snort, hooked his finger, and his lips curled into a provocative and playful arc.

"Then you come first and let me practice a bit."

"Haha, alright then, Moyan-kun, be careful."

Nearby, Yaga Masamichi quickly reminded them to know when to stop and not to damage their classmate's feelings.

Geto Suguru said he'd be careful, but his speed in summoning Cursed Spirits didn't slow down at all.

Geto Suguru pointed his finger gently.

Black Cursed Energy appeared behind him, thick as water, dissolving in the air to form a black portal.

A giant purple worm Cursed Spirit shot out like a cannonball, moving so fast it was like a heavy tank at full speed.

Its huge, hideous mouth was lined with dense serrated teeth, sharp enough to rival daggers.

It looked like it could grind anything, even steel, into powder.

"Grade 2 Cursed Spirit? So merciless right from the start?"

"I thought you'd consider our friendship, Geto Suguru, and release some Grade 4 Cursed Spirits for me to practice with."

Alex Moyan whispered softly, yet his voice reached Geto Suguru's ears with absolute clarity.

"Cursed Speech Technique, Sound Transmission?" Geto Suguru's lips parted slightly as he immediately sensed the technique being used.

Watching the worm Cursed Spirit get closer and closer, about to swallow him into its bloody maw...

"Turn back."

Alex Moyan opened his lips, which were marked with Cursed Speech seals, and the cursed seal on his tongue also exerted its power at this moment.

An invisible force forcibly redirected the worm Cursed Spirit that was charging like a cannonball.

The Cursed Spirit that was originally attacking Alex Moyan now charged toward its own master, Geto Suguru.

The strange Cursed Speech made the worm unable to stop its actions.

The worm Cursed Spirit's body seemed to have completely lost its own control.

It was like a normal person experiencing weightlessness for the first time, panicked and lost.

Geto Suguru's heart tightened as he watched the Cursed Spirit charge at him just as it had charged at Alex Moyan.

Geto Suguru could clearly sense that it wasn't that the Cursed Spirit was out of control, but that the Cursed Spirit itself had lost control.

In this situation, he just needed to intercept it with another force.

Immediately, a second giant worm Cursed Spirit was summoned by Geto Suguru.

The two worms collided, producing a massive roar that everyone could feel physically, like a giant boulder crashing onto the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Then, under Geto Suguru's command, the two worm Cursed Spirits charged at Alex Moyan again.

The worm Cursed Spirits hugged the ground, moving at high speed and plowing deep furrows into the open grassland.

And under the cover of the two worm Cursed Spirits, Geto Suguru's entire figure was hidden.

Geto Suguru summoned yet another Cursed Spirit.

It burrowed into the ground, followed by a flying Cursed Spirit, preparing for a three-pronged pincer attack.

Looking at the Cursed Spirits attacking again...

There was no sense of urgency on Alex Moyan's face; instead, he looked a bit bored.

"Hey, Geto Suguru, please, you already tested me just now."

"Releasing these Grade 2 Cursed Spirits again is a bit impolite."

"You're making me feel like I'm being looked down upon."

"So, if I kill your cute Cursed Spirits, you won't be angry, right?"

"Die!"

As soon as Alex Moyan finished speaking, the four Grade 2 Cursed Spirits that were about to hit him were instantly twisted by a strange force and then exploded violently!

Their massive bodies were torn to pieces in an instant, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Purple blood sprayed wildly, drenching the area around Alex Moyan.

But Alex Moyan, standing in the center, remained completely untouched.

Although normal people can't see Jujutsu and Cursed Spirits, it doesn't mean this stuff isn't disgusting; you still feel the sensation when it lands on your body.

Moreover, as a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer, Alex Moyan had an even more pronounced sense of Cursed Spirits.

Even if the Cursed Spirits eventually vanished without a trace.

"So strong!" Ieiri Shoko / Shoko Ieiri, watching from a distance, couldn't help but praise.

"With just a casual sentence, he directly destroyed four of Suguru's Grade 2 Cursed Spirits."

"And looking at him, he doesn't seem to have any burden at all; that's truly terrifying."

"Ah, what a pain. Has another monster been added to my future students?"

Yaga Masamichi held his forehead, unable to help complaining.

"Interesting. Next, Suguru, you should be getting serious, right?"

The Eyes of the Azure Heaven emitted a light like clear radiance, like the green moon.

In the perspective of Satoru's Six Eyes, powerful Cursed Spirits emitting vast amounts of Cursed Energy were now ready to go.

"Rainbow Dragon!"
