In My Hero Academia with a Jujutsu Kaisen Gacha System

Chapter 61: NO. 61 - Heroic Beatdown

[General POV]

Kamihara Shinya, or Edgeshot, growled and shot toward Sukuna. Seeing his longtime friend, Best Jeanist, be so ruthlessly attacked had made him angry. It was only thanks to his many years as a Pro Hero that he was able to cool his head just enough not to act irrationally.

"Spiral Spear Hand!"

Flattening and twisting his body into a sharp string, Edgeshot burst straight at the waiting Sukuna with blinding speed.

From behind his mask, Sukuna grinned and snapped his hand out, grabbing Edgehots thin form. 'He-He grabbed me?!' The hero screamed in his head as Sukuna used his body to block one of Ingenium's flying kicks.

"Ah! Sorry, Edgeshot!" Ingenium yelled and hopped back, fearing he may force Sukuna to do something rash with Edgeshot within his grasp.

"I wonder... what would happen if I ripped you apart as you are now," Sukuna said as he stared at Edgeshot's thin form.

Seeing something fast approaching, Sukuna released Edgeshot and dodged a large flying object. Hopping back, the King of Curses watched as Crust ran toward him with his arm cocked back. Upon release, the Pro launched another chunk of his Shield-based Quirk at Sukuna.

Swiping his finger to the side, Sukuna managed to easily rip apart Crust's attack.

"Recipro Burst!"

A blast of intense fire burst out of the engines from Igenium's elbows, blasting him forward with incredible speed. Reaching Sukuna in a blink, the Turbo Hero threw out a powerful kick that would have pushed Sukuna back were it not for him spinning around Ingenium.

"Unfortunately, you don't seem to be able to change directions. Can you, Ingenium?" Sukuna taunted as he watched Ingenium try to slow himself down to a stop down the battered street.

Feeling a burst of heat from behind him, Sukuna turned and saw Endeavor launch a blast of flames at him. Unlike before, the man's flames were smaller and lacked the same intensity from his fight with the Nomu.

Clapping his hands in front of him, Sukuna sent a Dismantle toward the fire, splitting the blast into two separate waves of flames. As the flames flew past him, Sukuna saw several dozen thin fibers fly toward him in an effort to trap him.

Sighing in annoyance, he released several slash attacks through the air that ripped apart Jeanist's threads. The hero ignored his bleeding chest as he swung his arms to the side to unleash several more strands onto Sukuna. At the next moment, Sukuna blurred away and reappeared on Jeanist's right side. Shocking the man.

'Such speed!' Best Jeanist thought as he tried to move away.

"You bore me," Sukuna muttered as he punched Best Jeanist on the side of his stomach, directly over his liver, with his technique, Ratio.

Best Jeanist's eyes grew wide as his body was launched across the street violently.

Rolling to a stop, Best Jeanist's wide eyes stared up blankly into the night sky as he took slow, shallow breaths.

"Dude! Are you getting all this?!"

A spiky-haired blonde teenager said as he watched the ongoing fight down the ruined road. He was dressed in an orange and black hoodie as he hovered over his black-haired friend, who was wearing a high-collared blue shirt.

"Yeah, man! We're going viral!" The young black-haired boy said as he held up his phone to record the battle. On his screen in the top right corner was a number showing off over 5 million viewers tuning in to watch the intense fight between several of Japan's top heroes and the mysterious masked man.

Off behind them, a pink-haired girl shook as her shoulder-length hair continued producing cherry blossom petals due to her Quirk. "Guys, I think we need to get out of here before we fucking die!"

"Nah, we'll be fine."

"Jeanist!" Edgeshot yelled and ran right at Sukuna. Spreading his arms out, Edgeshot sent several kunai at Sukuna. Before they could reach him, the weapons were all torn to shreds. Glaring at the King of Curses, Edgeshot transformed his body into a thin strand and flew toward Sukuna's chest. Hoping to pierce the masked man's lungs in order to incapacitate him.

"Sleep."

Raising his mask slightly, Sukuna used Cursed Speech at Edgeshot. The Ninja Hero's small eyes grew wide before his long, thin body fell onto the ground in a heap of string. Quickly, Edgeshot fell into a peaceful slumber on the pavement.

"Sukuna... what a powerful foe," Crust muttered as he and Ingenium looked over at their unconscious comrades. Crust then looked over at Endeavor's form and noticed the man's normally large flames were now much smaller. Steam rose over the Number Two's body as he glared at Sukuna. 'It seems that Endeavor is running on fumes. To think that Sukuna had pushed the Number Two hero so far.' Crust thought.

Suddenly, a large gust of pink gas gathered around Sukuna. Looking down, Sukuna tilted his head as the gas quickly rose up until he finally took a breath.

"Nighty night, King of Curses. This is it for you." The R-rated Hero, Midnight, said in a sultry voice as she held her costumes thin, torn off the fabric in her hand, exposing a large part of her shoulder and arm as she walked out from behind a building corner. At the sight of Sukuna's still-standing body, Midnight froze as the masked man began to chuckle.

'It can't be!' Midnight thought.

"Midnight. You're here too?" Sukuna said as he swiped his arm through the air, sending her Quirk's sleeping gas away from him with a mighty gust of wind. "Unfortunately for you, your Quirk is useless against me."

"You gotta be kidding me!" Midnight hissed as Sukuna rushed toward her.

Before the Demon God could reach her, Ingenium dashed toward him and sent a wide kick at his head. Raising his arm, Sukuna blocked the strong kick and grabbed onto the hero's leg. Chuckling, Sukuna used a weak Cleave onto Ingenium's leg, slicing Ingenium's Achilles heel.

"Gah!" Ingenium screamed as Sukuna spun and kicked the Turbo hero through a window.

"Sukuna!" Crust yelled as he rushed Sukuna with a large shield raised in front of him. With as much power as he could muster, Crust bashed into Sukuna's side and sent the King of Curses sliding back.

Seeing his attack having an effect, he rushed in again to bash his shield one more time.

"Let's see how that shield of yours works against this... Piercing Ox." Sukuna said as he moved to the right.

Blinking in confusion, Crust heard several loud thuds rippling through the street. Unseen by him and those around him, a large black Ox dashed through the street and bashed the top of its head into Crust's shield. Shattering the man's defense and slamming its head right into Crust's stomach.

"Gah!" Crust yelled in pain as his consciousness left him.

Off to the sides, Midnight and Endeavor watched on with confusion as Crust was attacked by a seemingly invisible force.

"It's like Mirko said!" Midnight said with growing concern. One by one, every member of the Task Force was being taken out with seemingly relative ease by Sukuna. "Damn it. Where are you, Eraser, Mirko?!"

Piercing Ox continued running with Crust's unconscious body over its head until it dug its legs into the road, causing Crust to fly through a brick wall from the abrupt loss of momentum.

"How long am I going to stand here?!" Endeavor growled as he watched Crust be buried under the wall's debris. Taking a step forward, Endeavor clenched his teeth and ignored his overheating body in favor of dashing at Sukuna. With a roar of defiance, he summoned his flames back over his body and flew at Sukuna.

Turning to the flaming man, Sukuna chuckled. "Switch."

Endeavor was confused by the word, but he had little time to think as a large wave of water rose out of thin air and impacted him with incredible force.

[Shimizu Souta POV]

Due to Endeavor's already overheated body, the crashing wave attack from Disaster Tides left him utterly helpless as the water extinguished any remaining embers around him. While he could still rely on his pure physical strength and speed to attack me, his struggle to lift himself from the wet floor made me doubt he would be much of a threat.

[+55 SP]

"This isn't good." Midnight muttered as she held her whip at her side. Turning away from Endeavor, her eyes grew wide when she found no sight of me. "Where did he-"

"Right here."

[+35 SP]

Before she could react, I grabbed the top of her head and knocked her out with a careful application of CE. Like a puppet with its strings cut off, the R-rated hero collapsed onto the ground.

"Water as well?" Endeavor coughed as he raised his head to glare at me. "Just how many Quirks do you have!"

As I walked toward him, I began to chuckle. "Would knowing the answer make your loss any more bearable?" Stopping in front of him. I debated if I should switch out two more techniques for Disaster Flames and Ice Formation.

I wondered what type of expression he'd make at seeing what he spent most of his life trying to achieve be done so effortlessly before his eyes. In the end, I chose against that. As funny as that would have been to see, I couldn't risk leaving myself with limited techniques in case more pro heroes arrived.

"This was fun, Number Two. Next time, let's have a real fight." Before I decided to knock him out, I paused. "Oh, that's right. How are those two children of yours? The pretty girl and the angry little boy?"

[+75 SP]

"So that was you?!" Endeavor hissed as his body began to slowly heat up. In the end, he failed to produce his precious Hell Fire. Seeing his Quirk fail him, Endeavor ended up choosing to just glare at me. "...why? Why help them? What benefit is there for you to have saved them? Were you hoping I'd be in your debt?"

"I saved them on a whim," I muttered as I looked out at all the battered and destroyed streets. The utter destruction from tonight's battles had left deep scars on the surrounding buildings and roads. Especially the areas around where I had destroyed the Nomu with my Divine Arrow. "Nothing more than that."

"...are you connected to that man?" Endeavor said carefully, hoping to acquire as much intelligence on me despite his situation.

"Ah, you mean All For One," I said as I turned to him.

I could have told him that I had no affiliation with the Quirk stealing man, but I decided not to. It was better to keep the heroes and everyone else who was privy to me guessing who exactly Sukuna was. That way, they'd stay off my trail for as long as possible.

"...wouldn't you like to know?"

Appearing beside him, I bashed my fist into the side of his head. The Number Two hero rolled on the ground from the force of my punch and remained still at my knock-out punch.

[+90 SP]

I should fight Pro Heroes more often. They give out a lot of SP.

At the sight of all the beaten and unconscious heroes, all the people who decided to hang back to watch or record the fight foolishly walked out from their hiding spots with disbelief on their faces. It was as if they couldn't fathom the fact that their precious heroes had actually lost.

Standing still, I chose to remain in my spot over Endeavor's fallen form, holding my head high for them to see—indeed, for the world to see. To be cheeky, I even gave them a bow as a way of thanking them for being such a wonderful audience.

And with this, I announce myself to the world.

"No way... the heroes lost?"

"W-who is that guy? He's... so strong."

"Even the Number Two lost..."

"The heroes called him... Sukuna, right?"

Standing straight, I decided it was time to get the hell out of here before All Might showed up.

No matter how much stronger I've gotten, I had no illusions that I would be able to beat the man.

At least, not until I had the Six Eyes so I could use the Limitless without worry of draining all my CE.

"Where do you think you're going, Sukuna?!"

Fwoosh! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Raising my arms, I blocked a rather powerful blow that sent me skidding back. Looking at my attacker, I grinned at the sight of the Rabbit hero, Mirko.

She was covered in a thin sheen of sweat as her chest rose and fell quickly as she breathed heavily. Her red eyes stared into me with... hunger?

What's that about? She must really be upset that I knocked her out last time.

Mirko then blinked and looked around the scattered pro heroes. At the sight of so many fallen pros, she calmed herself and leaned low.

[+45 SP]

"I hope you had a nice warm-up with these chumps because I don't want to hear any excuses after I kick your ass!" Mirko yelled with ferocity as she all but exploded toward me.

"Hah! This night just keeps getting better!" I said as I rushed in to meet her head-on. "Don't disappoint me again, Little Rabbit!"

Thanks to everyone who recommended their stories to me. Now I have a lot of content I can enjoy and gain some inspiration from. I'm not gonna lie, I've been on a creative slump as of late which is slowing down my writing.

This means that I may have to change some of my plans up to make things more interesting for me to write. I'm sure that these new plans and ideas of mine will probably upset some of you but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Until then, enjoy the ride.

Like always, leave me plenty of comments and your feedback.

Until next time!
