Night descended over Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical College.
Within the campus barrier—
This should have been the safest place in the jujutsu world.
But tonight—
Death slipped inside silently.
Like a phantom moving through darkness—
Toji Fushiguro infiltrated the campus without making a sound.
Because of his Heavenly Restriction, his body possessed zero cursed energy.
To normal sorcerers—
He was almost impossible to detect.
Even the school's barrier system failed to register his presence.
Toji moved through the shadows calmly.
His objective was simple.
Kill Satoru Gojo first.
Then eliminate the Star Plasma Vessel.
After several days of continuous escort missions—
Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto were visibly tired.
Even though Yagami Sora had warned them—
Their confidence as the strongest students of their era had made them slightly careless.
Hidden among the trees—
Toji quietly watched.
In his hand—
A strange dagger gleamed faintly in the moonlight.
The cursed tool capable of negating techniques.
The Inverted Spear of Heaven.
"…Time to move."
The moment Gojo turned his back—
Toji attacked.
FAST.
So fast that the eye could barely follow.
Like a bolt of black lightning—
Toji crossed dozens of meters instantly.
The blade thrust forward—
Aiming directly at Gojo's back.
His killing intent was absolute.
"Got you."
A cold smile appeared on Toji's lips.
CLANG.
A sharp metallic sound echoed through the courtyard.
No blood.
No blade piercing flesh.
Instead—
Toji's wrist trembled violently.
A massive force pushed back against his attack.
Blocking the spear—
Was a single hand.
Yagami Sora.
His palm was wrapped in an extremely dense layer of compressed air.
The blade of the Inverted Spear of Heaven stopped completely.
Toji's pupils shrank.
Impossible.
That weapon could neutralize cursed techniques.
Why couldn't it break this defense?
"Surprised?"
Sora stood calmly behind Gojo.
A faint smile on his face.
"You're right."
"The Inverted Spear of Heaven can erase cursed techniques."
"But unfortunately…"
He tapped the blade lightly.
"My ability isn't a cursed technique."
"This is physics."
"An objective law."
"You can dispel cursed energy."
"But can you dispel air pressure?"
"Can you cancel momentum transfer?"
"Can you erase the density of matter?"
For the first time—
A trace of unease appeared in Toji's eyes.
What kind of monster was this kid?
"Satoru."
"Take Riko Amanai and step back."
Sora spoke calmly.
"I'll handle him."
Gojo hesitated.
"But—"
Geto grabbed his arm.
"Trust him."
Geto's expression was serious.
"If he hadn't blocked that attack…"
"You might already be dead."
Toji snorted.
"Trying to escape?"
His muscles tightened.
If piercing attacks failed—
Then brute force would do.
The monstrous strength granted by Heavenly Restriction exploded outward.
BOOM.
The ground shattered beneath his feet.
But Sora didn't move at all.
"Good strength."
Sora commented casually.
"But before vector manipulation…"
"Strength is just a number."
He flipped his hand slightly.
"Vector Manipulation — Gravity Reversal."
WHOOSH.
Toji suddenly felt his body become weightless.
His feet left the ground involuntarily.
Then—
A crushing force descended from above.
Like a mountain falling from the sky.
BANG.
Toji slammed violently into the ground.
A massive crater formed instantly.
Toji coughed blood.
His body trembled under the overwhelming pressure.
"…Gravity manipulation?"
How was this possible?
"It's not over yet."
Sora looked down at him coldly.
"You enjoy speed, right?"
"Let me show you something faster."
He snapped his fingers.
The surrounding air compressed instantly.
Violent vortices formed around the battlefield.
"Plasma Lightning Strike."
BOOM.
A blinding pillar of white lightning crashed down from the sky.
Directly onto Toji.
"AAAAAAHHHH!!"
Even the legendary Sorcerer Killer screamed under the impact.
Hundreds of millions of volts surged through his body.
His skin burned black.
Muscles spasmed violently.
"You lost."
Sora walked to the edge of the crater.
Looking down at the defeated assassin.
"Your perfect physique…"
"…is just a measurable biological structure to me."
"A collection of proteins and electrical signals."
Toji lifted his head weakly.
Shock filled his eyes.
"…You're even more monstrous than the Gojo brat…"
Sora smiled.
"Thanks."
Then he raised his foot.
"To make sure you don't cause trouble again…"
"Sleep for a while."
BANG.
His kick struck Toji's chin.
The Sorcerer Killer lost consciousness instantly.
Gojo and Geto approached slowly.
They stared at the unconscious man lying inside the crater.
Speechless.
This…
Was the power of someone from the future?
Even compared to Gojo—
This overwhelming strength felt terrifying.
Sora clapped his hands casually.
"Alright."
"That problem is solved."
He turned to Riko Amanai.
"The crisis is over."
"You can live now."
Tears streamed down Riko's face.
She had been ready to die.
Prepared to sacrifice herself for the world.
But now—
Her future had changed.
"Thank you…"
"Thank you…"
Sora waved his hand dismissively.
"No need."
"I just didn't want to watch a certain idiot ruin his life."
His gaze shifted to Geto.
"This world may be terrible."
"But it isn't completely hopeless."
"You can choose who to protect."
"And who not to protect."
"Don't try to carry everything."
"You're not a god."
Geto froze.
The darkness that had been slowly forming inside his heart—
Quietly dissolved.
He smiled softly.
"…You're right."
"I'm not a god."
"I'm just…"
"…a jujutsu sorcerer."
