Ichika panted, thinking, 'Damn it. It's too much... there are too many of them. One after the other.'
She sighed as she began healing herself with the Reverse Cursed Technique, thinking, 'If Ichinose-Senpai hadn't learned how to use it, I never would have known this was possible. I bet Ayanokoji-Senpai would have figured it out by now, though.'
Ichika's eyes flashed with Cursed Energy as she saw a wind slash flying towards her. She funnelled Cursed Energy into her arms and blocked it, thinking, 'That should do it. Still, this isn't good. I'm at half my reserves? Maybe a little more.'
Hosen walked over and said, "Go back out on the offence, girlie. I'm back."
Ichika smiled and said, "Got it."
Ichika sprinted forward, avoiding several attacks as she did, and in her eyes, she could see the trajectories of attacks in slower motion than normal for her, giving her enhanced perception.
Amasawa Ichika's Cursed Technique is Vector Sight. It is a Cursed Technique that allows a Sorcerer to see the world in vectors. This will allow them to track the trajectories of movement and attacks in slower motion via Cursed Energy Signatures in a 360-degree view. The range of this technique depends on the Sorcerer's proficiency and Cursed Energy reserves. Ichika, having Cursed Energy Reserves surpassing Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and having fairly decent proficiency despite never knowing about Cursed Energy or the system of Jujutsu before, is able to see trajectories of all things within a 50-meter radius. A true genius.
The sorcerer sweated, thinking, 'Shit! Fuck this!' and shouted, "Get in there, Kousuke!"
He fired an attack at the Infirmary as Hosen tanked the attack, and a man with black hair rushed in, only for Hosen to wind up a blow as Kousuke looked terrified and froze on the spot from fear.
Hosen Kuzomi's Cursed Technique is Damage Debt, and it allows him to record the damage he takes, including damage blocked by Cursed Energy Reinforcement and then multiply his damage output based on that damage. Due to his Cursed Technique, Hosen Kazuomi has the highest ceiling in terms of striking force out of all the Players. However, healing, removing or transferring the damage will reset his output multiplier. Before Hosen opted not to heal and rather get stronger, which eventually caused him to collapse, forcing Ichika to take the burden of protecting the Infirmary. A tactical mistake on his part due to his stubbornness, overconfidence and a boon of ego due to uncovering a new power.
Ichika ran, dodging another wind blade, considering Hosen, thinking, 'You better do your job, you bum.'
She saw the vectors on her target and thought, 'So that's where you're weak. Got it!'
The man panicked as she slammed her fists into that spot, and Hosen slammed his fist into his opponent, and Black Sparks flew from their attacks.
Ichika smiled, saying, "I'm feeling kind of good right now."
Both their Kogane's appeared and declared, "You have earned 5 points."

Ichika smiled and said, "Let's get back into our first method with you at the entrance and me out hunting them down. I wasn't suited for the defence anyway. Besides, things are a lot more fun this way, right?"
Hosen frowned and said, "Shut up, you psycho. There ain't anything fun about fighting these assholes."
Ichika laughed and asked, 'What's wrong, Hosen-chan? Are you butt-hurt because I've got 15 more points than you?"
"Fuck you."
Hosen said this in response as Ichika laughed. Then she went pale, shouting, "Someone's coming! Get everyone out of here! We can't fight it!"
She froze in place and said, "It's too late. He's here."
A man arrived as Ichika and Hosen, backing away from a third figure who said, "Where is he, Ichika? Is he here yet?"
"I-I don't know."
The man grabbed her throat and lifted her up as she began shivering in fear, thinking, 'No, no, no. I'll die. I'll die. I'll die. I'll seriously die. Please no.'
Then, the man dropped her and said, "You're not lying, but since that new Rule's been made, I might as well take your points."
Ichika sweated and said, "You can have them. Take them. We can make an agreement. You don't kill me, and I give you the points."
The man turned to Hosen and said, "You too. hand them over."
"Fuck you! Let's fight for points!"
Hosen said this, rushing in as the man sidestepped the attack, Saying, "Sure. Let's fight."
Hosen smirked, thinking, 'Go on. Punch me. I'll only get stronger.'
Ichika reached out and shouted, "No! Don't let him hit you!"
The man then slammed his fist into Hosen as the fist came out the other side, and Hosen spat out blood and his eyes dimmed.
Kogane popped out, declaring, "You've earned 5 points for a kill. An agreement to fight was made. Player Hosen Kazuomi's 35 points have been transferred to you."
The man pulled out his arm, saying, "He didn't know his place."
Ichika kept her head down, thinking, 'Please leave. Please leave. Please leave.'
He looked to Ichika and said, "Hand over your points, or do you want to die?"
Ichika nodded, shaking his hand while trembling and sealing the deal as Kogane popped out and declared, "Player Amasawa Ichika has transferred 50 points to you in exchange for not being killed."
Yagami Takuya's Cursed Technique is 100% Cursed Energy Manipulation. He has complete control over the Cursed Energy in his own body, and his strikes negate Cursed Energy Reinforcement and Defensive Cursed Technique applications due to Takya being able to manipulate his opponent's Cursed Energy upon contact with his Cursed Energy. His Cursed Energy Reinforcement is superior to any other Player. In addition to this, due to the effects of his Cursed Technique, his Cursed Energy Efficiency surpasses that of even Satoru Gojo.
Takuya then thought, 'There's no point in killing the weaklings in there. Not even 20 points worth of people inside. What I wanted was to steal the points of these two and to find Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.'
Takuya clicked his tongue, asking, "Where are you, Ayanokoji?"
Takuya then smiled and said, "Kogane. Add a new rule. Allow players to use a radar function that allows them to see the locations of players in their colony."

Kiyotaka ran through the colony thinking, 'I have to reach the colony soon, or things might become problematic.'
Suddenly, he heard a voice call out to him, saying, "Ay... yano... koji-kun?"
He stopped to see Hiyori, who was bleeding from several places as she fell, and Kiyotaka caught her, healing her as he asked, "What happened?"
She coughed and said, "Someone attacked me. I-I... feel so cold."
Kiyotaka's eyes widened as he thought, 'Her temperature isn't going back down even with Reverse Cursed Technique?'
He then chanted, "Command," as he created a gaseous mass in front of him and applied steady heat to Hiyori's body as her body temperature started to recover.
She took a breath and said, "You're so strong, Ayanokoji-Kun. Were you always this strong? And why do you have a scar?"
Kiyotaka paused for a second before saying, "Well, I've been getting stronger recently. As for the scar, it's nothing to worry about."
"Have you been okay all this time?"
Hiyori asked this as Kiyotaka nodded, saying, "I have. I'm fine."
"Why are you lying?"
"What?"
Hiyori's eyes sparked with Cursed Energy as she said, "I can tell that you're lying."
Kiyotaka's eyes widened, asking, "So you have a Cursed Technique?"
"Um... yes."
Hiyori said this as she got up.
Name: Hiyori Shiina
Rules Added: 0
Points: 5
Current Colony: ANHS Colony
Kiyotaka sighed, thinking, 'She's likely been getting in some trouble. That explains the injuries.'
As he thought this, Hiyori's cheeks flushed, and she said, "Hey! Don't think I'm a troublemaker all of a sudden."
Hiyori Shiina's Cursed Technique is Reading Comprehension. It allows her to be able to understand and visualise anything perfectly. She can perfectly read a person's thoughts, intent and Cursed Energy. During the Use of her technique, she is affected by a side effect of her technique known as the Fourth Wall, which prevents her from feeling pain or psychological trauma, allowing her to experience the world as a reader. This technique also makes learning Advanced Jujutsu significantly easier and more fluid. As long as she puts into practice what she learns, she can replicate any technique that is not innate. Seeing Reincarnated Sorcerers using Jujutsu allowed her to already comprehend how to use Cursed Energy Reinforcement, and now, thanks to Kiyotaka using it on her, she understood Reverse Cursed Technique, including the application of Outputting it. (Yes, I did steal some of this from ORV. It's s a fanfic. Shoot me if you think I'm such a horrid criminal.)
Kiyotaka then noticed something and said, "Hiyori. Stop using your technique."
"I... don't want to. I'm scared. I don't want to feel all those things. Ayanokoji-kun... I killed someone."
She said this vehemently, refusing as Kiyotaka patted her head and said, "If you keep using it, you'll use up all your Cursed Energy."
"I'll fall apart if I let go for even a second."
Hiyori said this as Kiyotaka held her head to his chest and said, "That's fine. I'll hold you together until you can get through this."
Hiyori released her technique as she began sobbing into Kiyotaka's chest as he held her close as she houted, "I want to activate again. Please. I can't do this. I..."
Kiyotaka patted her head and said, "It's okay. What you did was to protect yourself, right?"
"Still! I killed someone! I've been hiding behind my technique so I wouldn't have to bear the weight. I'm disgusting! I'm a coward!"
Hiyori screamed this through sobs as Kiyotaka held her close and said, "No. You're not. Killing someone who's trying to kill you isn't a bad thing."
"Killing is killing!"
"I've done it. Am I a bad person? Am I disgusting?"
Kiytoaak said this as Hiyori's voice caught in her throat as she looked at him, tears flowing from her eyes as she said, "What? No... you... You were only protecting yourself, right?... I..."
"You get it now, right?"
Kiyotaka asked this as Hiyori nodded, slowly wiping the tears away.
Kiyotaka helped her up, but then he felt something and said, "Someone's coming. Go to the infirmary. Now. Don't rush in, but head in that direction."
Hiyori nodded, saying, "O-okay" as she rushed off towards the Infirmary.
Kiyotaka could feel the massive Cursed Energy pool of the person walking towards him as he thought, 'They have even more than Okkotsu.'
He looked to see Yuki Sakurako walking over as she called out, saying, "Kiyotaka, is that you?"
"Yeah. It's me."
Kiyotaka said this as he looked at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Yuki smiled and said, "I've been made a Player in the Cullign Game. I have Cursed Technique now. I came here to this colony because I thought you'd come here eventually as well."
Kogane popped out for both of them and declared, "Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong! A player has added a new rule to the Culling Game. Rule 11: Players can use a radar function that allows them to see the locations of players in their colony."
Kiyotaka then said, "Turn it on", as Yuki froze and the radar buzzed, and Kiyotaka saw the name of the person in front of him.
He then said, "Kogane, help me make a confirmation. Who is the Player that is in front of me?"
Kiyotaka made this request as Yuki's eyes widened and Kogane appeared to reveal the information;
Name: Hidaka Akira
Rules Added: 0
Points: 98
Current Colony: ANHS Colony
[Yuki] sighed, saying, "So cold. But I love that. Let me introduce myself properly. I'm the strongest Special Grade Sorcerer from the Sengoku Era. You can call me the Goddess of the Sun and Moon. My name is Hidaka Akira."
—————————————————————————————————————
Takuya ran through the campus thinking, 'Almost there. I'll fight you and prove that I'm stronger!'
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him as Takuya stopped and said, "Koenji."
Koenji smiled and said, "Oh? That should be Koenji-senpai or maybe Koenji-sama to you, Yagami-boy."
A tick mark formed on Yagami's face as he said, "Move out of my way."
"Why should I? You've dared to take points that should have been rightfully mine. Not only that, but you've used them for a petty radar. I'll at least take the 60 points you currently have."
Yagami got into a stance, asking, "Are you sure you can manage it?"
Koenji smiled and said, "Of course I can."
Koenji dissapeared form sight as Yagami's eyes widened and Koenji slammed his leg into Yagami, sending him flying through a building as he got up thinking, 'This guy... has no Cursed Energy whatsoever'
Prior to Kenjaku's use of Idle Tranfiguration, Koenji Rokusuke had a substantial Cursed Energy Pool higher than Kiyotaka's. However, Kenjaku was curious and so forced an artificial Physically Gifted Heavenly Restriction onto him. Koenji was not very amused at the idea of his body being tampered with, but didn't complain due to the massive physical strength, durability and endurance he had received as compensation.
Takuya laughed and asked, "Aren't you interested in fighting Ayanokoji?"
"Hm? I have no need to prove that my existence is perfect like you need to. Even until the end, you were pitiful and sad. An irredeemable defect, I suppose."
Koenji said this with a laugh as Takuya got a tick mark on his head out of anger, and he got into a stance, saying, "I'm going to kill you."
Koenji looked at him darkly and said, "So you want to kill me. Don't judge me for what I'll do to you now."
Takuya looked at him and asked, "So? Are we going to fight?"
"Yes. We are."
Koenji said this as the two got into a stance and dashed towards each other with killing intent.
—————————————————————————————————————
"A reincarnated sorcerer."
Kiyotaka said this as he thought, 'Yuki said she had no blank spots in her memory. How is her body being used as a vessel? Was it after we met? Or does the technique of the man who calls himself my father have more application than just the suppression of Cursed Energy? What exactly is his Cursed Technique?'
Hidaka looked at him and said, "So stoic and cool-headed. I love to see it. Reincarnated Sorcerers gain access to the memories of their hosts, you know. I saw how you pushed this girl aside in the White Room. I'm kind of jealous. I just love men like you."
Kiyotaka raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do your preferences have to do with anything, right now?"
"This girl whose body I'm inhabiting clearly loves you, so she'll consent. How about... You take me to bed and love me?"
She asked this as Kiyotaka deapanned, and she went on saying, "Most stoic men back in the past screamed whenever they saw my mangled body. But having this much Cursed Energy does come with a price, you know. Well, not anymore, I guess, since this body lets me bypass that entirely."
Kiyotaka heard her and thought, 'I see the same Heavenly Restriction as Kokichi Muta or rather, Mechamaru. But how could she be the strongest of her era with a body as weak as his? Puppet Jujutsu like his? Or Shikigami that fight for her?'
Hidaka went on saying, "I really hate it when the men I bring to my body scream things like [You're hideous!], [Oh god, what happened to you?] or [Please let me go. I have a wife and child. I can't betray my wife]. Seeing stoic and cold men like that turn into wimps is so disappointing. You won't scream when you take me to bed, right, Ayanokoji?"
Kiyotaka looked at her, disgusted, and said, "Take you to bed? I'd rather take you to your grave."
Hidaka smiled and said, "So cold. The more you are against it, the more I want you. You're exactly my type."
