Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

"Are you so unwilling?"

Mirai shrugged helplessly and consoled him: "You already possess such a powerful talent as the Ten Shadow Techniques, and you also command the strongest shikigami in the world of curse."

"Even the most untalented fighting skills are far superior to ordinary people. They have already reached the level of 'second level' and are bravely moving towards 'first level'."

"What else is there to be unwilling about?"

"Meihui, you always worry too much and can't let go in either combat or life."

"Regardless of strength, if we only talk about potential, I can tell you clearly that Yuujin's hidden talent is no less than yours."

"Although Maki and Otome are very strong, in my opinion, you, Yuujin, and Otsutsuki are the ones who can truly replace me, Gon, and Satoru."

"The future of the world of spellcasting belongs to you after all."

"And now, let's not talk about Otsutsuki for now. As far as you and Hisahito are concerned, Hisahito is the challenger. He still lacks time and opportunity."

"And you, all you need is an opportunity to become the 'strongest' version of yourself."

The words fell.

shhh-

"Future, accompany me to Akihabara to play video games!"

Outside the martial arts arena, a girl with cross-shaped pupils and light blue hair jumped in and pushed the door. She came behind Wei Li and wanted to push the wheelchair away.

"Tia, be good, right away."

Mirai quickly interrupted Tiamat's impetuous behavior, turned his head to look at Fushiguro Megumi, and said lightly:

“Meihui, you seem to be so constrained by the ‘self-restraints’ I set for you that you’ve forgotten how to be serious, right?”

Hear the words.

Fushiguro Megumi's eyes were deeply fixed, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"what?!"

"Is Zenin Sensai saying that I didn't take it seriously at all?!"

"I have always listened to you and never used the Magic Hollow unless it was necessary!" Fushiguro Megumi rarely got angry at Mirai.

Seeing this in the future, he was not annoyed at all.

"It's not that you're not serious, it's that you can't be serious."

"For example, in the baseball game before, why did you have to sacrifice the batter? Even if you were out, you wanted to send Kugisaki to the plate? Then you are really great~"

"If it were me or Hisahito, we would definitely prioritize home runs."

"I'm not saying hitting is bad. After all, baseball is a team sport and everyone has their own responsibilities."

"But being a sorcerer is ultimately an individual competition." With a glance from Mirai, Tiamat pushed him in front of Megumi Fushiguro who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Fushiguro Megumi looked up and asked, "But it is also important to cooperate with other magicians, right?"

"That's the truth." Mirai propped himself up with both hands, and with the support of Tiamat, he sat cross-legged opposite Fushiguro Megumi and said meaningfully:

"But no matter how many companions you have around you, you will always be alone when you die."

"You always underestimate your own and others' strength when judging on the spot, and overestimate Moxu Luo's suppression power."

"Because of the existence of Moxu Luo, I can't imagine myself becoming stronger in the future."

"In the previous battle, I felt that I had Moxu Luo's support, so it didn't matter what happened."

"After summoning Moxu Luo, not only did I fail to resolve the battle as expected, I was also ambushed by the curse and tortured."

"I feel ashamed, unwilling to accept it, and think that Moxu Luo is just like that. I think the restrictions I set on you are holding you back, and I think my strength is far from enough..."

“Meihui, it’s good for students to obey their teachers’ instructions, but it’s another matter if they just follow blindly without thinking for themselves.”

Fushiguro Megumi heard this.

A look of confusion, as if he understood but not quite.

The future continued: "The opponents that you can't deal with yourself will be handed over to Moxu Luo, and the opponents that Moxu Luo can't deal with will be completely helpless."

"You can't even catch up with that kid Wu, let alone me."

"Meihui, you must always remember that the Ten Shadow Shikigami are only the product of your technique after all. They are one with you and are not some external aid."

"It is not shameful to rely on Moxu Luo, but Moxu Luo should rely on you, his master, a little bit from time to time."

“It’s true that He has self-awareness, but it’s you who can ultimately decide His actions, Megumin.”

"Be more serious, be more greedy, and think more!"

"..."

When Megumi Fushiguro came to his senses, Mirai and Tiamat were nowhere to be seen.

"serious......"

"greedy......"

"think......"

"It's still the same as before, just talking about these abstract things, how can I possibly understand = ="

Megumi Fushiguro squinted her eyes and complained. She placed her hands behind her head, lay on the wooden floor, and looked up at the metal ceiling of the training ground that had almost experienced her entire future cursed life.

Even though it was later rebuilt due to various accidents, it still remains like this.

The animals corresponding to the ten shadow gods are printed on it, which are linked to each other to form a circle, and the center of the circle is as smooth as a mirror, with nothing in it.

"Dog, eagle, snake, toad, deer, cow, elephant, rabbit, tiger... Huh? Why are there only nine? Where is Moxu Luo?"

Fushiguro Megumi looked left and right, and counted seven or eight times but did not find the representative animal of Mokuro.

"By the way, what is the representative animal of Moxu Luo?"

Megumi Fushiguro suddenly started thinking about this point, and then became more and more confused, unable to figure it out.

"Ah?"

"How......"

The silhouettes of the nine animals were connected to form a perfect circle, and Megumi Fushiguro's face was reflected in the smooth round mirror in the center, as if she was surrounded by nine shadows.

Fushiguro Megumi saw this, his pupils shrank, he suddenly woke up, and said with enlightenment:

"This is--"

"Myself?!"

……

The next day.

On the streets of Akihabara.

I had just finished playing video games with Tiamat and was about to go home.

hum-

The platinum full-screen mobile phone that Tiamat wore on her chest with a rainbow-colored thread as a necklace suddenly vibrated.

"Ohhh~ Future, what should I do? Miss Shura, it's moving? Is Tia going to transform?"

talking.

Tiamat crossed his hands in a perfect arc, and made the classic transformation gesture of Knight One: "Let's henshin!"

【...】

"Ah??"

"fail??"

"Tia, you can't transform like this." Mirai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She took the phone from Tiamat and the caller ID showed "Naiji".

He coughed twice and then answered the phone:

"The number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

"The number you have dialed is not responding at the moment, please try later."

The words fell.

creak creak!

There was a sound of gnashing teeth on the other end of the line.

"Future of Zen Temple!"

"I don't want to bother with you on my day off. Believe it or not, I will beat you to a pulp!"

"Yes, my queen!"

Wei Lai responded respectfully, but then immediately sneered and said, "But, it seems like every time, it's you, Diva, who gets beaten to a pulp by me."

"Varied--"
