jujutsu kaisen : : My Cursed fate

Chapter 17: look at me now.

The fight just took a turn now they are both going all out, but I have to admit I'm worried about Giyu, he is bare handed and his technique isn't fit for fighting, I wonder what he is going to do in situation like this,

- Don't worry, he will be fine! Says Fushiguro-senpai, After realizing that his techniques won't be of any help in fights, he focused his energy on improving his martial art techniques and building some raw physical strength, and that's what took him up to 2nd grade sorcerer he is now.

When I look down to the fight, Giyu isn't really struggling he is dodging his opponents attacks pretty easily, and he still find openings to land some attacks of his own, but I wonder if the fight will continue this smoothly considering that both are 2nd grade sorcerer. Naonobu's attack are loosing in intensity, is it because of Giyu's attacks, I mean he only landed 3 attacks so far, can he have caused that much damages? If the fight continue at this pace Giyu's victory is guaranteed,

- You are one hell of a tough customer, says Naonobu in between 2 attacks, but I won't go down that easily.

He takes a step back, and takes a wierd stance, I wonder what he has in mind,

- It is called falling blossom emotion, starts Fushiguro senpai, it's a secret art of the zenin familly, it wrap the user in cursed energy and when something enters in contact with it, it counters immediatly with cursed energy, normally it is made to counter domains, but some skilled swordsman have adapted it to their swordmanship.

Giyu seems to be perplex, he doesn't know how to attack efficiently Naonobu, he puck up 2 stones from the ground and imbue them with cursed energy and throw them at Naonobu and as expected he reacts immediatly and cut them down with his cursed tool, at the same time Giyu finished his approach he used the stones as decoys to close the gap between them, he punchs Naonobu but his opponent protected himself with the divine sword and counter attack with his other cursed tool, but Giyu dodges the attack easily.

They are both amazing their attacks are perfectly flawless, this is getting interesting, this fight is balanced but at any moment the balance can fall apart. Giyu uses the same pattern as before but this time rather than punching he uses his leg to kick the devine off its users hand and he suceed, but Naonobu isn't shaken in the least he continues his attack with 2nd cursed tool this time too, but Naonobu isn't done yet he pull out another small blade, are kidding me? How many cursed tool is this guy caring? He cuts Giyu's shoulder, with that attack Giyu won't be able to use his left arm, for a fight like this it is a huge disadvantage, Giyu tries to fall back but Naonobu doesn't give him time to breath.

At this pace Giyu is going to loose the fight, Naonobu's attacks seems to be paying, since Giyu's movement are limited, he has the upper hand in head on fight like this,

- Jeez, won't you give time to a wounded man to recover? Asks Giyu sarcastically.

- Why would I, if I do that you will recover fast and I will loose this golden opportunity to take you down!

Just as he says that, he stabs Giyu with a small blade or so it seems, Giyu cought the arm holding it using his left arm that was injured earlier, could he have recover this fast, He kicks Noanobu who takes that opportunity to put some space between them,

- I guess you were fouled by my shirt covered in blood, he says that while removing it.

He reaveal an arm that is in perfect shape, He is really impressive, while fighting, he somehow managed to activate his reverse cursed technique to heal himself. Giyu pick up the devine sword that was laying on the floor, Naonobu on the other hand he put the small blade back into its sheath, it looks like he is going to focus one blade,

- Secret art : falling blossom emotion! He says as he takes his stance to execute his technique.

Giyu is the first to make a move, this time he doesn't use any decoys he attack head on, he uses the devine sword while Naonobu counters with his own blade, they are in strength contest untill Giyu uses iai-kido, to grab Naonobu's sword and drag Naonobu down, Giyu immobilize his oponent,

- But how? Starts Naonobu, I should have been able to counter as soon as you made your move, you shouldn't have been able to grab my blade like that.

- The answer is simple, I used perfect balance to counter your technique and nullify it, reversed cursed techniques are pretty useful, aren't they? He says that with a smile on his face.

Giyu is declared winner by principal Kamo. Giyu helps Naonobu get back to his feet the two of them seem to be getting along pretty well for people who were fighting like beasts few seconds ago. While both Giyu and Naonobu are taken to infirmary to be treated for their wounds, Kamo announces that the 2nd fight is about to start, when I look at Ryu he seem to be thoughtful,

- Don't loose now, I want to be the first to take you down! I say to Ryu, You hear me?

- Shut up mongrel, he replies, I'll take care of you later!

I look forward to this fight, I want to see how Ryu handles Iguro, let see if he does better than me, a 2nd grade against a semi-1st grade sorcerer, but the grades of sorcerers don't always show the strength of a sorcerer, the last fight is good example, the grades only shows the sorcerer ability to exorcise cursed spirit.

The two fighters enters the arena at the same time with their game faces on,

- The rules are the same for the last fight, are you ready?

Rather than answering the two of them take their guard ready to start, I guess that answers Kamo's question,

- Now let the fight begin!

Ryu charges at Iguro immediatly, but his oponent seem not being into head on fight like that, he flees using his cursed technique and move to the very edge of the battle field,

- From what I've heard you are really strong and you have a strong cursed technique too, but let me warn you, you don't stand a chance against me, so surrender.

- Big talk from someone who wasn't even able to take down that dolt, in 2 on 1 fight! replies Ryu, this isn't a warning or threat, I'm stating a fact, I will defeat you!

Well this is unusual, normally Ryu would have replied screaming some nonsense like what he is the strongest or something, but now he is calm and I can tell that he intends to do as promised. They return to fight with Ryu running straight to Iguro, but Iguro doesn't let him close the gap that easily, he creates multiple small gate though which he punches Ryu with his fists imbued with cursed energy, but Ryu dodges all of them while closing the gap between them. When he finally come close to Iguro he get ready to punch him with his fist imbued with cursed energy, but Irugo counters by opening a gate right in front of him and another opens behind him, this is bad! If he pursue his attack he will punch himself then Iguro will keep attacking him, but Ryu is more than capable of stopping himself in his motion to punch, so why isn't that bastard stopping?

But at the surprise of everyone he punchs through the gate like it wasn't even there, and land a good one Iguro who is about to fall out of bound, this fight sure was fast! But then he creates a gate that teleports him in the middle of the arena, his reaction time is impressive, it is better than mine i can tell,

- domain amplification, says a voice coming from behind us, your students are scary my little Megumi.

That voice I recognize it, it is Gojo-senpai's, and I was right it is Satoru Gojo,

- What is domain amplification? I ask him.

- Domain amplification is a barrier technique that covers the user in a fluid shield that imitates the effect of a domain, neutralizing any technique it comes in contact with.

I see now, so that's how he was able to punch through like there was nothing in front of him,

- That was a good move from him, replies Fushiguro senpai, but it is not a sustainable tactic, because of it he won't be able to use his cursed technique which is his greatest weapon!

So he relinquished his ability to use curse technique to be able to get through Iguro's gate, that's a big price to pay to counter Iguro, the fight is about to take an interesting turn, I can't wait to see what comes next.
