Chapter 15: Why are you so....weak?
*Chapter contains a bit of gore/explicit details....I think*
(Todo POV)
I stare at the guy squirming in pain, while the wannabe witch flies away from me....Pathetic.
I clap once , and switch Momo with her broom, causing her to get stunned for a moment, due to the disorientation caused by the sudden change in spacial coordinates. If someone doesn't have a high enough adaptability or they aren't smart enough, getting used to Boogie Woogie takes time....a lot of time...
Watching Momo flail around for some sort of support while falling has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen. It was accompanied by her shrill shriek, but it had it's own beauty.
"After all, art is an explosion~" I say randomly, for no literal reason as I charged at her falling figure. I reached under her, and inhaled a lot of air in my monstrous lungs. She was still falling down....inch by inch.
My eyes witnessed everything in slow motion, trying to get the right calculations....and at the right moment I punched upwards.
My fist, seemingly moving in slow motion, arrived shortly near to her descending petite form. Cursed Energy swirled around the area where my fist hit, her stomach. Well, it was probably more towards her liver, but whatever....
That swirling Cursed energy turned Pitch Black as it started flashing back at the point of contact, damaging the area I hit harder than ever before. And a moment later, her screams stopped as she started flying back into the air.
Her pain receptors probably fried off at the area I hit....Heck, I could clearly see the massive purple bruise near her liver area. As for how I could see it, well, her clothes were shredded.
I might've gone a bit too far....but oh well. I know how much I held back....if I applied a bit more force in the initial punch, she would've literally burst apart from that area in particular.
Just like how Nobara's eye popped...
I clap two times and the two appear before me. Momo's speed was slowed due to her motion against gravity at the end, so she didn't really splatter into paste the moment I switched her with some air near the ground.
Anyway, Momo was currently unsconcious, while Noritoshi was hyperventilating a bit too much. Why the heck was he overreacting so much? Was it the pain?
I don't know man....these people joined here due to recommendation, none of them have even a shit stain of actual battle experience. The worst thing they faced was probably their instructor, who wouldn't go at such lengths to injure them anyway...
I started calculating the reasons why Noritoshi would be in such a condition....and then it struck me.
After being sliced open by his own attack, which initially was probably manageable, Momo's wind attack, which possibly carried a huge amount of dust and other infectants hit him, making his injury worse and hurt like a bitch.....
Welp, I was probably right, but I didn't care enough to actually bother any further. I was a sadist, but watching people who were 'supposed' to be my friends, who weren't necessarily bad/irritating, writhe in pain, turned me off. So I decided to deal with this shit quickly.
I whirled back my fist as I concentrated for a bit, using about 10 percent of my Cursed Energy and converting it into nearly 4.93 percent of Positive Energy, compared to my total CE pool, I punched forward, hitting the Kamo's clan heir, square in the jaw, knocking him out.
But before he was actually knocked out, the Positive energy I had conjured in myself was all released in a singular second, lighting up the training ground up for a few small moments, before things settled down.
There was quite a bit of noticeable change, mainly, the Training Grounds felt a lot more livelier, and the flora all around seemed to have grown livelier....well, the biggest change was in the two in front of me. While, the fist knocked the Kamo guy out, the burst of Positive energy rejuvenated his body instantly, along with immediately patching him up. Even Momo was healed.
Now, both of the people supported relaxed expressions as they roamed the land of dreams, while I sat near them and simply stared at their peaceful faces, while switching some insects around from time to time, using my heartbeat as a trigger.
Would I be this weak if I was complacent and ignorant/didn't know about the future, just like them? Would I have even achieved half of what I was capable of if I was like them?...In the end, it simply doesn't matter.
Instead on thinking of what ifs, it's better to become stronger. After all, the wasted present will become a regret later on anyway.
A few seconds later, the two bodies, that were supposed to be my teammates, vanished, replaced by the stale air of two different rooms.
I started to close my eyes....I guess I can afford to rest a bit. You know, wind up a bit...and the rejuvenated Training Ground seemed plenty comfy right now....
With my thoughts fading into the background, I closed my eyes, falling into a sense of half sleep.
After all, I won't ever let my guard down after what happened during 'that' particular New year....

[After a White Flash, the Cursed Energy in the atmosphere reacts with Todo's positive energy, and to not overwhelm the space around it, the cursed energy reflects back and enters Todo, which is commonly more than the Expended Positive energy.]

Underwhelming fight, but this is just how strong Todo is, currently.
Comment whatever you want, but do comment.
Any doubts/inconsistencies will be answered/corrected.
This is perhaps the seconds smallest chapter of this fanfic.
Question : Toji's vs Sukuna's raw strength. No techniques, only CE enhancement. Who will win?
The answer is pretty obvious, but imma ask it anyway.
The books of Jujutsu Kaisen I followed had no update for 3 weeks. RIP.
