[Cheat] Chapter 54: The Story Changes
🕑 Added 2025-04-09 17:30:27 +0000 UTC“Yuji, watch closely. When the gap in power between two people is overwhelming, you don’t even need a Domain to win.”
One punch!
Just one punch!
Volcano Head’s head and body were separated!
Zephyr’s eyes widened. What did he just do!?
With Volcano Head critically wounded, his domain naturally collapsed and vanished.
“Eh? Ehh??” Itadori Yuji was completely bewildered. “What… just happened?”
Paimon was so shocked, she dropped the sunflower seeds from her hand.
Zephyr murmured, deep in thought, “Pure strength? No… That burst of energy just now definitely exceeded his normal level. He must’ve used some sort of cursed technique.”
Was it Black Flash?
No… It must’ve been some technique that didn’t show up in the anime.
As for the manga? Sorry, he’d only watched the anime.
Volcano Head was lucky he never got caught in Gojo’s Domain—but the result wasn’t much different.
“I’ve got questions. Answer honestly, and I’ll let you die a little more peacefully.”
Gojo Satoru pressed his foot down on Volcano Head’s skull.
Paimon blinked. “And what if he doesn’t answer honestly?”
“Then he dies in pain.”
“So scary… Is this really the usually kind and gentle Gojo-sensei?”
“Sorry you had to see this side of me, little Paimon. But there are times when a person has to change.
To protect my most precious students… and the people of this world, I have to make sacrifices.”
“So, hurry up and talk. Who sent you? What’s your objective?”
“Go… to hell…”
“Does killing you really accomplish anything? Just tell me—who’s behind this? Come on, spit it out~”
“Why… would… I… tell… you… bastard…”
“You sure about that? Say it, or I’m exorcising you. Though to be honest, I’m gonna exorcise you either way.”
Itadori Yuji was so shocked his jaw practically dropped. “Wait, curses can talk!? You all made it sound so natural I didn’t even notice!”
“Damn… you… Gojo Satoru… I’ll remember this… just you wait…”
“Seriously? That’s what you’re going to say on your deathbed? Or is your brain already fried from the damage?”
“Domain… Expansion…”
“You’re still trying to use a Domain in that condition? Dude, you’re just a head, how are you even—wait, can you even still use it!?”
Amazingly, Volcano Head’s severed head slowly sank into the ground…
And vanished.
“He’s gone?”
Gojo Satoru was shocked. He suddenly lifted his leg and stomped down hard — the surrounding land collapsed like a meteor had just struck.
“Even his presence disappeared.”
“This is impossible… His Domain shouldn’t have that kind of ability. Unless… that wasn’t a Domain just now, but some kind of cursed technique designed to confuse us?”
He looked at Zephyr.
Zephyr shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. As far as I remember, he shouldn’t have that kind of ability.”
The worst-case scenario had just happened —
The story had changed.
And that might be exactly why Gojo ended up failing in the original timeline… and humanity was wiped out.
But for Zephyr, the biggest issue right now was…
Volcano Head ran.
His XP ran away.
“Ugh… this is so conflicting…”
What made it worse was that Volcano Head was a Level 60 Boss. Killing him might’ve dropped some rare loot and probably skyrocketed Zephyr’s level.
But on the other hand, if he had killed him, the plot might’ve deviated too much… and he might never be able to find Mahito, the real main quest target.
He had been torn before, but now? Problem solved.
The guy already ran off.
Gojo’s expression turned serious, then relaxed into a calm smile.
“So, cursed spirits of this level are starting to gather, huh… That’s something to look forward to.”
“I hope that you, Yuji—no, I hope all of you become strong enough to face curses of that caliber.”
“The more specific the goal, the better. I’m glad I brought you out for this today.”
Itadori Yuji’s eyelid twitched. He mumbled, “This guy’s seriously unpredictable… Is he even being serious?”
“Now that you’ve got a clear goal, you just need to charge forward at full speed. To get things rolling early—
Over the next month, you’ll be watching movies while fighting me.”
“Fighting you for a month? Will I even survive that long…”
“Then after that comes real combat. You’ll be tasked with a few important missions. Once you master both the basics and how to apply them—
You’ll make your dazzling debut at the exchange event.”
Yuji raised his hand. “I have a question, Sensei.”
“Go ahead, Yuji-kun.”
“Why did you only carry me and Big Sis over here? What about Fushiguro and Kugisaki?”
Lumine chimed in, “I already said, I followed on my own. I wasn’t dragged here like you were.”
Zephyr sweatdropped. Why are you getting hung up on something so oddly specific…
Gojo tilted his head. “Hm? Well, your teacher only has two arms. One person per arm. If there were more, I wouldn’t be able to carry them all, now would I?”
“…That’s really the reason? Then what about this whole month’s training—will Fushiguro and the others be doing it too?”
“That? No, they won’t.”
“Why not!?”
“Because what you’ll be learning is all basic knowledge.
Megumi’s already been a student here for a while—he’s already gone through all of this.”
“…Then what about Nobara?”
“Even though she just enrolled recently, she was already an experienced jujutsu sorcerer before coming.
She’s nothing like you—a total rookie who knew nothing.
Of course, if they want to join, they can. But first, they’d need to pass Panda and the others’ test.”
Itadori Yuji’s eyelid twitched. Even though he now understood the reason Fushiguro and the others weren’t participating, he still felt annoyed. He hadn’t succeeded in dragging them down with him.
“So that means, out of the four first-years, only me and Big Sis are participating?”
“Nope, correction—only you.”
“Huh!?”
“Why would you think that the ultra-ultra-ultra-elite sorcerer Miss Lumine would be learning basic techniques with you?”
“Eh!? Big Sis…”
Lumine replied, “Even if you give me that look, it won’t work.”
Zephyr added, “What are you staring at? Keep it up and I’ll smack you.”
“Uuuugh…”
“Oh right, almost forgot—tomorrow’s our meetup with the other school!”
Paimon asked, confused, “Meetup?”
“Yeah, it’s like a mini meeting before the Exchange Event. Just a casual get-together to catch up and say hello. Super simple stuff.”
“Ohh, I see.”
Zephyr muttered, “It’s tomorrow? Heh, I’m not buying it. A ‘casual meetup’? If no one from either school ends up fighting tomorrow, I’ll eat my words.”
“Haha, c’mon now, don’t be like that.”
“At most, maybe just one or two people end up seriously injured.”
“Nani!?” Yuji shouted in shock.
Zephyr said nonchalantly, “I’m skipping tomorrow’s meetup. I’ve got a mission to do.”
“Mission? Oh, exorcising curses in the city, right? Lumine, you really are such a diligent and admirable person! So dedicated to exorcising curses every day—you're a true role model for us all!”
Paimon blushed shyly. “Oh stop it~”
