Chapter 98 Chapter 86 What did you say?
When Lin Qi brought a completely unharmed Itadori Yuuji back to the juvenile detention center, Fushiguro Megumi was resting against the low wall of the long corridor, and Yukinoshita Yukino stood aside, waiting silently.
Upon seeing Lin Qi’s unfamiliar figure, the girl’s slight worry finally dissipated, although she didn’t think that Mr. Lin Qi would lose, she still felt a bit worried.
“Everything’s settled, and I beat them up quite thoroughly.” The black markings and extra eyes on Lin Qi’s face disappeared as he smiled brightly at Yukinoshita Yukino, who came towards him, “Beating Ryomen Sukuna feels much better than beating Master Satoru Gōjo.”
“That’s good.” Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly.
“Huh?” Itadori Yuuji was stunned when he heard this, “Mr. Lin Qi, you even beat Master Gōjo? Is that true?”
“You should ask him yourself.” Lin Qi shrugged, not taking the win over Satoru Gōjo seriously.
“But Master Gōjo is the strongest, right?” Itadori scratched his head, puzzled.
“Did he say so himself?” Lin Qi raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah.” The pink-haired boy nodded.
“Ha!” Lin Qi couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Maybe before I came along.”
Satoru seemed to find it inappropriate to discuss such matters behind Master Gōjo’s back, so Itadori Yuuji temporarily buried his doubts, ready to ask Master Gōjo next time they meet.
The three of them arrived at the long corridor leading to the disciplinary dormitories. When Fushiguro Megumi looked up and saw everyone, his face relaxed heavily upon seeing the unscathed pink-haired boy.
His clothes were tattered and torn, with a scrape on his forehead leaving a bloodied trail on one side of his cheek.
“Hey! Megumi, look at you, all bloody again!” Itadori Yuuji greeted Fushiguro Megumi with a smile.
“Aren’t you an idiot? Whose fault is it you’re in this state?” Megumi frowned immediately when he heard Itadori speak.
“He’s right, sorry.” He gave a embarrassed smile, full of apologies to Megumi, then asked, “Nobara, is she okay?”
“She’s fine, just got some minor injuries. I’ve already asked Mr. Ijichi to take her to the hospital first, he should be back shortly.”
“That’s good.” After Itadori sighed in relief, he turned to Lin Qi and begged, “Mr. Lin Qi, can you treat Megumi?”
“Not a problem.”
Lin Qi stretched his hand and placed it on Megumi’s head, using a Reverse Rites technique to heal his injuries, rubbing his spiky hairstyle messily in the process.
With the Reverse Rites technique capable of healing five people at once, alongside Miss Inami Nitro, even Master Satoru Gōjo couldn’t manage that…
“Thank you very much,” Megumi bowed deeply to Lin Qi after apologizing and standing up, “I have another question for you, Mr. Lin Qi.”
“Just ask, don’t be too formal.” Lin Qi sat on the low wall, casually saying.
“Regarding your relationship with the Zenin family…” Megumi carefully chose his words and asked.
“Zenin family, oh, you mean the Ten Shadow Art Technique?” Lin Qi quickly understood what he wanted to know, after all, it was Yuki bringing Yukino out on her dog, “Does your art style also come from the Ten Shadow Art Technique?”
Megumi nodded.
“I have no relation with the Zenin family.” Lin Qi smiled sincerely, answering Megumi’s question but still leaving him in confusion.
Did he explain?
“Oh, you reminded me, though.”
The summoning ritual for the final guardian deity, Mahōra, failed due to Ryomen Sukuna’s interference halfway through. Intending to take advantage of Ijichi Kiyotaka’s arrival, he resolved to summon Mahōra.
He got off the wall, walking to an empty space away from the group and raising his fists, softly chanting, “Burubu, Yurayura.”
“What is that!?”
While Megumi watched in shock, Lin Qi summoned Mahōra and instantly killed it.
As a fellow Ten Shadow Art Technique user, only Megumi knew how powerful the guardian deity called “Shishukoujin” was.
According to historical records, no Jujutsu Sorcerer who had awakened the Ten Shadow Art Technique could control Mahōra. The methods known to him for summoning it were desperate measures used to defeat their enemies in hopeless situations in the last resort.
Yet, Lin Qi was considered to have the same strength as Satoru Gōjo; instantaneously defeating Mahōra seemed natural to him.
The part that shocked Megumi was the fact that Lin Qi used a technique outside the Ten Shadow Art Technique. This technique was identical to those belonging to Ryomen Sukuna, according to the records at high school.
“How can someone possess two techniques at once, and use them simultaneously?”
Could it be like a technique that copies others’, like Senpai Ootori?
After subjugating Mahōra, Lin Qi released its summons, discovering to his delight that he could revive the destroyed guardian deity using points.
As an initial spirit, Yuken could be revived simply by spending 500 points. Lin Qi spent the points without hesitation and revived little White.
Yuken was a功臣 for helping Yukinoshita Yukino overcome her fear of dogs, so Lin Qi wouldn’t neglect it.
A happy Lin Qi returned to the group, but Megumi intended to ask something more. Realizing that these matters about his own technique secrets were things Lin Qi would likely not respond to, he held back his words.
Soon enough, after taking care of Kugisaki Nobara, Ijichi Kiyotaka came back driving the car.
Having learned that no one was injured, he finally relaxed, releasing a heavy sigh.
However, the aftermath would probably leave him with a headache and a few lost hairs. After all, Lin Qi and Ryomen Sukuna fought, and the destruction rate was higher than any demolition team.
At Lin Qi’s request, Ijichi Kiyotaka took him and Yukinoshita Yukino back to where Yukinoshita Yono lived, then took Itadori Yuuji and Fushiguro Megumi to Noble’s所在的医院。
