The smile on Yuki Tsukumo's face vanished as Toji Fushiguro disappeared from the battlefield.
Yuki Tsukumo looked grimly at the cursed spirits surging towards her like a tide, and at Dhuruv behind them.
"First, I had to hold the line alone for 10 minutes, and now I have to fight that unfathomable old man head-on for 3 minutes..."
Yuki Tsukumo silently calculated her cursed energy reserves.
She pondered how to last through these 13 minutes with minimal expenditure.
"There's no choice but to go all out now."
Cursed Technique: Star Wrath activated.
Yuki Tsukumo grabbed the tail of a snake cursed spirit and swung it violently.
"A thorough cleaning is always fastest like this!"
The snake cursed spirit was used by Yuki Tsukumo as a weapon, attacking in all directions.
After clearing hundreds of cursed spirits, it was severed by another cursed spirit.
Star Wrath could only be used on Yuki Tsukumo herself and Houlun, it couldn't be applied to cursed spirits.
Seeing this, Yuki Tsukumo threw the snake cursed spirit away.
Then, she grabbed Houlun and threw it like a shot put.
Houlun accurately smashed and killed the cursed spirit wielding the blade.
"This one's good, I'll borrow it."
Yuki Tsukumo picked up the cursed spirit's sharp, segmented limb and began swinging it around.
Several approaching cursed spirits were cut in half with a single strike.
The limb in Yuki Tsukumo's hand began to dissipate as the cursed spirit it belonged to was exorcised.
After the limb dissipated, Yuki Tsukumo, with Houlun's assistance, continued to exorcise the surrounding cursed spirits.
Meanwhile, Toji Fushiguro had also returned to the rear of the battle line.
"Next."
Shoko Ieiri wiped the sweat from her brow, healing a person who had been severely injured by a sneak attack from a cursed spirit from underground.
"Let me go first."
Toji Fushiguro's voice directly reached Shoko Ieiri's ears.
Shoko Ieiri's heart sank.
Even Toji Fushiguro is injured?
What met her eyes was Toji Fushiguro, whose clothes were slightly torn, but he otherwise seemed fine.
"Get out of the way, your injury will heal on its own soon, don't delay me saving people."
Shoko Ieiri rolled her eyes at Toji Fushiguro.
"I'm not here for you to heal."
After speaking, Toji Fushiguro balled Uraume into a sphere and swallowed it.
Then, he grabbed his black, tight-fitting clothes with both hands and tore them open.
Rip.
The tattered upper garment was shredded by Toji Fushiguro.
His well-built physique, which attracted countless gazes, was revealed.
At this moment, Toji Fushiguro's chest and abdomen bore several wounds, blackened and bruised from the curse.
Blood also flowed from some areas.
Heavenly Restriction granted Toji Fushiguro's body extreme resistance to curses.
However, it was only resistance, not immunity.
So, in the chaotic battle, Toji Fushiguro had sustained some injuries.
Yet, the curses and wounds did not make Toji Fushiguro appear disheveled.
Instead, they added a unique battle-worn charm to him.
Gulp.
A female medical staff member swallowed hard.
"Those pecs, that core strength, hiss."
Slap.
An older nurse beside her forcefully slapped her.
"Stop staring and hurry up and save people."
"Yes, ma'am."
Even many of the male patients, upon seeing Toji Fushiguro's pectoral muscles, wanted to reach out and touch them.
The only woman unaffected was Shoko Ieiri.
At that moment, she was thinking about how she would cut through such incredibly tough muscle if she had to perform surgery.
"Get rid of the curse aura on me, I'm in a hurry."
'Aura?'
Shoko Ieiri repeated the word 'aura' in her mind.
She quickly understood Toji Fushiguro's intentions.
"Sit down."
Others might not know much about Toji Fushiguro, so they were unaware of his specific situation.
But Shoko Ieiri was one of the few who did.
She knew exactly what Toji Fushiguro had done during last year's Star Plasma Vessel incident.
That was an assassination that even the Six Eyes hadn't detected.
Therefore, when Toji Fushiguro mentioned aura, Shoko Ieiri guessed why he had come to her.
Shoko Ieiri placed her hands on Toji Fushiguro's broad chest and began to use the Reverse Cursed Technique to output positive energy, counteracting the curse on him.
'He's touching him, he's touching him, damn it, I'm so jealous...'
A nurse who had been secretly watching Toji Fushiguro bit her handkerchief, tears welling up. Her hands unconsciously tightened their grip.
"That hurts."
"Ah, sorry, sorry."
It was clear that the little nurse had wrapped the bandage too tightly.
However, she didn't know that Shoko Ieiri wasn't thinking about taking advantage of the situation or secretly enjoying herself.
Shoko Ieiri was actually quite troubled.
'He really is solid. If he's this solid, a scalpel will have a hard time cutting through. What should I do...'
The distress of the only truly weak woman at Jujutsu High.
Under the counteraction and dispersion of positive energy, the curse aura on Toji Fushiguro quickly vanished.
Toji Fushiguro once again became the invisible man, unseen from the perspective of cursed energy.
"Aren't you going to heal the wound while you're at it?"
Shoko Ieiri suggested, watching Toji Fushiguro get up.
Having learned that Toji Fushiguro wasn't here to slack off but to assassinate Dhuruv, Shoko Ieiri began to genuinely consider his well-being.
"No need. Without the erosion of curses, this minor injury will heal on its own soon."
With that, Toji Fushiguro walked towards the temporary command post in front of the defense line.
Seeing this, Shoko Ieiri said no more and continued to treat the next injured person.
"Hey, I'm going to take out that old man later. Can you guys hold out for a few minutes on your own?"
Unlike Yuki Tsukumo.
Toji Fushiguro actually wasn't that concerned about the casualties among the Jujutsu Sorcerers.
He was only back here because it was his job.
He absolutely couldn't be absent from work. While it was usually fine, if he slacked off during a mission, those three Special Grade perverts would really take action against him.
And the worst part was, he couldn't beat them.
After all, it had been over a year, and everyone knew each other's strengths and weaknesses. The three of them had developed their own strategies for fighting Toji Fushiguro.
"Just a few minutes is fine. Our ammunition reserves are still plentiful, and we have support from Principal Gakuganji..."
The commander at the north gate immediately replied.
However, Toji Fushiguro had no interest in listening to his tactical arrangements.
After hearing the words "no problem," he continued, "We have 7 more minutes. Be prepared."
Then, Toji Fushiguro disappeared from the defense line.
"Huh? Mr. Fushiguro is truly a decisive person."
After expressing his admiration, the commander immediately began issuing operational orders.
Soon, several trucks drove in through the north gate from outside the barrier.
Outside the barrier, The Window, who had been urgently summoned to handle logistics, parked the vehicles and immediately got out to open the rear of the trucks.
He moved quickly.
This was partly because speed was of the essence on the battlefield, and partly because he was afraid of encountering danger if he stayed there too long.
He opened the doors of the truck beds, revealing rows of cursed tools that looked like stuffed dolls.
