The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 9

Saki didn't sense any malice, so she made no move and let him scrutinize her up close.

"Turns out it's all mixed up. You and Yuji's situation are different. You..." Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, then said the conclusion he couldn't believe himself, "You've been possessed?"

"Sukuna is currently parasitizing me," Saki nodded honestly.

After a brief shock, Gojo suddenly smiled. "Ha, this is interesting. So, you've been possessed, but you're not controlled. In fact, you've even completely suppressed Sukuna?"

He sat back in his chair, continuing to ask, "When did this happen?"

"One week ago."

"June 16th?"

"Yes."

"No wonder Yuji wasn't possessed. It was because you got possessed first."

"After being possessed, you're not controlled at all?"

"That's right."

"Can you give control of your body to him?"

"Yes."

"Why did you eat the finger? That thing doesn't look like something you should eat."

"...Accidental consumption."

Gojo asked a bunch of questions, and Saki answered them all cooperatively. Only after he'd asked nearly everything did he finally ask the question he was concerned about.

"Mr. Gojo, is there a way to get Sukuna out of my body?"

"Well, I'll explain that later. Right now, there's something more important to do," Gojo said, standing up. He suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped the girl's forehead.

Saki looked at him, puzzled.

Gojo was a bit surprised and tapped her forehead again.

Saki continued to look at him, still confused.

Gojo let out a small "eh?" and then, not giving up, tapped a third time.

Saki finally couldn't take it anymore and swatted his hand away, asking exasperatedly, "Why do you keep poking my forehead?"

"I was trying to knock you out. Your situation is special, and I need to take you to the Jujutsu Headquarters," Gojo explained casually.

Normally, if a regular person's brain were suddenly infused with cursed energy, they'd fall unconscious. But clearly, the girl in front of him wasn't a normal person.

Saki furrowed her brows in displeasure and directly rejected, "I'm not going. If you know how to solve my problem, just tell me. If you don't know, you can leave."

"Ah, you're really making this hard for me," Gojo sighed in frustration.

"If you try to drag me away, I'll punch you," Saki warned in advance. "And by the way, I'm really strong."

At her words, Gojo suddenly clapped his hands and seriously suggested, "How about we have a fight then? If you lose, you come with me. If I lose, well, I can't lose."

"If you lose, you'll have to answer all my questions honestly," Saki added.

"Alright," Gojo agreed casually.

They were both on the same page and, just like that, prepared to head out for a late-night fight.

An eighteen-year-old popular idol and a twenty-eight-year-old high school teacher—neither of them felt that their identities made it inappropriate to fight each other.

As per the girl's request, Gojo drove her to a place far from any crowds.

"By the way, aren't you a bit too trusting? You're actually going out at night with a strange adult man," Gojo suddenly pointed out as they got in the car.

"Because I'm really strong. I may not be as strong as my brother, but ordinary people can't beat me," Saki reiterated.

"I'm strong too, you know? The kind of strong that no one can beat," Gojo joked in return.

Though he could tell the girl wasn't a normal person, that her body had to have some special traits, and maybe she even knew some martial arts, deep down, he didn't think a little girl who couldn't even use cursed energy or techniques could be that powerful.

"You'll see in a bit," Saki noticed his disbelief but didn't explain further.

Her appearance was very deceiving. It made sense that he didn't believe her, but she would prove it with her strength soon enough.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

"Can I just destroy things here?" the girl asked, confirming.

"Yeah, they're going to tear this place down and build a resort, so you can destroy whatever you want," Gojo replied. "So go ahead, let loose. But just so we're clear, no backing out if you lose, alright?"

Saki didn't make a move at first. Instead, she seriously suggested, "I'm afraid I might punch you to death right away. How about you watch me punch the ground first, and then decide whether or not to fight me?"

Gojo found it amusing, but still went along with it. "Alright, go ahead."

Saki got the go-ahead, but instead of punching him, she suddenly slammed her fist into the ground.

With a deafening "boom," the ground shook, and the surrounding factory buildings instantly collapsed. A massive surge of energy whipped up a powerful gust of wind, carrying countless flying debris, and in an instant, dust filled the air.

When the dust cleared, the two of them were standing in the middle of a huge crater, over ten meters deep and more than twenty meters in diameter.

Gojo's calm expression cracked.

It wasn't that he couldn't cause this level of destruction, but the girl had done it without using cursed energy at all. It looked like she had purely relied on her physical strength to achieve this.

Wait, is this even reasonable?

"Do you still want to fight me?" Saki asked.

Gojo hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. "Yeah, go ahead. Don't hold back. Let me see your full strength."

Saki was stunned, not expecting him to still want to fight after seeing her punch.

"Don't worry, you won't hurt me," Gojo said, regaining his composure and a calm expression.

He was deliberately probing the girl's limits, as it would influence his next decisions.

Saki thought for a moment. No one would joke around with their life, so he must have some confidence. She didn't hesitate anymore and moved to strike.

For the next two minutes, the factory suffered unprecedented damage.

The more Gojo fought, the more shocked he became. The girl clearly hadn't received systematic training—her martial arts were terrible—but every punch she threw carried exaggerated strength.

Her reaction speed and physical power were also ridiculously high. He tried to kick her without holding back, but she not only easily blocked it with her arm, she didn't even move an inch.

Saki, too, was increasingly shocked. She couldn't understand why no matter how much force she used, the opponent remained completely unharmed.
