Chapter 8: Chapter 7- Cursed Womb~2!
If Megumi had summoned General Mahoraga to deal with the Cursed Spirit, the battle would have concluded within seconds, no more. He was aware of the strength that his strongest Shikigami carries, as such, Megumi had no problem relying on it when the time would arrive.
However, at the moment, Megumi had no intention of finishing off the Special grade with one shot. He planned to test his strength and see how compatible he was with his new body.
The Cursed Spirit seemed wary of the grin Megumi wore, but being a mindless newborn creature who desired to fight a strong foe, the Cursed Spirit launched itself toward Megumi with its arm stretched and fingers coated with Cursed Energy.
The attack was potent enough to claw the life out of a human; however, Megumi was anything but a normal human.
*SHIUUUF*
A thin whistle resonated just right to his ear, as he titled his body and evaded the attack with minimal movement.
The Cursed Spirit didn't have the time to come with another attack as it flew far away from its initial spot after receiving a devastating blow to its stomach.
"Strange. I didn't even use my strength and just used your momentum." Megumi looked at his smoking fist as he muttered.
A grin soon lifted his lips, as he looked at the inhumane and asked in a mocking tone,
"Is it that, you actually are just a weak cockroach?"
The Cursed Spirit went silent immediately after that.
However, soon the fluctuation of Cursed Energy around the Spirit showcased its reaction toward Megumi's insult. The pulsating Cursed Energy made the ground slightly rumble as massive killing intent was directed at the sorcerer.
[KHREEWWWW]
Bringing its palms closer, the Cursed Spirit began gathering Cursed Energy as a cannonball, before it smirked at Megumi...only to find its eyes widening.
Megumi was no longer there.
The Cursed Spirit fanatically began to look around the place; trying to find the Sorcerer in the vicinity.
[RHOWW?]
Just the Cursed Spirit sensed something from above its head, it was already too late.
A stream of linear waterfalls with a straight stream poured down the Cursed Spirit, breaking the ground it was standing on and sending the Cursed Spirit down to the first floor.
The Curses Spirit flailed helplessly as a crater was created under the pressure of the waterfall. Along with the ground, its head was damaged by the pressure as well.
[KHREWK!!]
Releasing the accumulated Cursed Energy from its entire body, the Curse Spirit was able to create a temporary barrier, which subdued the effect of the waterfall up to a certain degree.
It was then, when suddenly, the pressure was entirely released, and something far more extreme hit the Cursed Spirit just on the head.
"Kokusen."
Dark lightning struck the Cursed Spirit as Megumi landed the blow which was devastating enough to turn the Cursed Spirit into a mash.
The result of Black Flash greatly surprised Megumi since he didn't think a single hit would be enough to turn the Special Grade into a pulp.
"It really was quite weak." Megumi sighed as he crouched down and began separating the fading skin of the Cursed Spirit and found the purplish ominous finger stored in the Cursed Spirit's chest.
"Ryomen Sukuna. I wonder how strong you actually are." Staring at the finger in his hold, Megumi whispered, only for himself to hear.
There was no doubt that in his current state, Megumi would need allies to defeat Sukuna. However, considering circumstances that might come up in the future, Megumi might have to defend himself all alone against the King of Curses.
Without any further ado, Megumi left the detention center.

"Ah, there he is. Fishiguro!" Yuji waved his hand enthusiastically upon seeing his friend exiting the place.
Yuji slightly narrowed his eyes and assessed any possible injury to his friend. But fortunately, there was nothing worrisome.
Although Nobara tried to hide it, Yuji heard a sigh of relief leaving her lips. However, she soon turned away and began to walk toward the car parked near the entrance.
"What's with her?" As Megumi neared Yuji, he asked about the brunette who seemed grumpy about something.
Yuji looked slightly flustered being asked about her, but he didn't lie to him, "Ah...she is just mad about what happened earlier. You know...coming in the way thingy?"
Megumi nodded in understanding. He was expecting such a reaction from Nobara.
"Let's go."
Yuji was slightly stressed about the atmosphere around the two, but he was determined to subdue the tension between Kugisaki and Megumi.
"Was the Cursed Spirit being exorcised?" Even though Ijichi had already sensed the disappearance of the Cursed Spirit, he couldn't believe the feat that Megumi achieved.
However, Megumi didn't respond to that rather he narrowed his eyes and asked in a heavy tone, "Ijichi-san, was it the Principal Gakunganji who assigned us to this mission?"
Hearing his tone and sensing the fluctuating Cursed Energy around Megumi made the older one feel a pang of nervousness around the teenager.
Megumi's brows frowned before he asked again, "Or was it the whole Higher-ups behind this conspiracy?"
Ijichi gulped before he responded, "I am not certain about the individual who assigned this mission to you three. If Student Fushiguro is interested in knowing, then, Principal Yaga might help."
Megumi kept his gaze firm on the man for another couple of seconds before he retracted his intent and walked ahead.
"Good work, Ijichi. Thanks for the support." Leaving those words, Megumi sat on the passenger seat.
Ijicji was left speechless for a good half a minute before he finally composed his breathing and took a glance at the raven-haired youth.
'He is a student of Gojo-san, after all....'
The car ride back to Jujutsu High went in silence for most of the part. If not for Itadori chiming in between some of the times, then the car would have remained utterly silent all the way.
Although Itadori tried reestablishing the friendship between Fushiguro and Nobara, given Kugisaki's silence, the plan was working to the bare minimum.
Lost in every hope, the trio finally reached the Jujutsu High before the three students stepped out.
Itadori seemed too exhausted to even walk with a straight back while Megumi seemed to be heading toward the training ground for some reason.
It was then,
"Fushiguro." Itadori and also, the person in question was surprised to hear Nobara calling out for Megumi.
Turning toward the girl, Megumi raises his brows in questioning, before the girl relayed her request,
"Come with me for a bit. I need to talk to you."

A/N:- Hehe...behind a tree, she pushes Megumi and leans closer....hehe.
