The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 14

Title: Rescue: Enter the Girl Wielding a Silver Sword

“[Shooting Star]!”

Just as Utaha was in despair, a clear woman’s voice suddenly echoed in her ears.

At the same time, the sound of a sharp blade slicing through the air resonated, followed by a pitiful roar.

Utaha mustered the remaining courage in her body and slowly opened her eyes.

She saw a graceful girl suddenly appear in front of her.

She had long brown hair, hanging loosely behind her back, fluttering gently in the wind.

Wearing an off-white top and a bright red skirt, she looked both capable and lively.

The most striking thing was that she held a long sword glowing with a silver light in her hand.

At this moment, the mysterious girl was staring ahead with concentration, her eyes showing perseverance and determination.

Beside her, the monster that had been threatening earlier fell to the ground, twitching continuously, and it was clear that it had suffered severe injuries.

After driving away the monster, the girl came to Utaha’s side and gently asked,

“Are you okay?”

Hearing the girl’s gentle question, Utaha, who was enveloped in fear, finally awakened.

She gently shook her head to indicate that she was fine and simultaneously expressed her gratitude to the other party: “Thank you, I’m okay.”

A heartwarming smile appeared on the girl’s lips, as charming as a flower blooming in spring.

Then she looked at Utaha’s injured leg with concern and said,

“But it seems like your ankle is sprained. Please wait a moment, and I will help you treat your wound as soon as I deal with the Cursed Spirit.”

Seeing the girl about to draw her sword and face the terrifying monster, Utaha turned pale with fear and quickly warned, “Please be careful! This monster is very frightening!”

No matter how she looked at it, compared to the fierce beast with a mouth full of sharp teeth and a body height of nearly two meters, the petite girl with a height of around 1.6 meters clearly was not on the same level. However, when she heard Utaha’s concern and worry, the girl only responded with a faint smile and reassured her: “Don’t worry, it’s just a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit. As a disciple of his, how can I lose to such a vulnerable opponent?”

After saying this, a little confidence and determination appeared in the girl’s eyes.

Vulnerable...

Looking at the tall monster with a mouth full of fangs, a fierce face, and a towering body, Utaha just wanted to say one thing: ‘Can this thing really be described as vulnerable?’

Asuna stared at the monster in front of her, took a deep breath, and then slowly drew her left hand to the back of the sword.

As she moved, the rapier in her hand began to emit bursts of light.

When her left hand left the tip of the sword, Asuna rushed towards the Cursed Spirit in front of her like an arrow from a bow.

At the same time, the Cursed Spirit also roared, shouting indistinctly: “Eat, evolve!”

When the distance between the person and the Cursed Spirit was less than a meter, Asuna suddenly raised her sword and swung it hard towards the opponent.

“[Triangular]!”

In an instant, four sword lights suddenly appeared around the Cursed Spirit. They blocked the Cursed Spirit’s movement routes from various angles and slashed at it with extremely high speed.

As the sword lights fell, the aura of the Cursed Spirit immediately weakened significantly. It was clear that this attack had caused severe damage.

A Grade 1 Cursed Spirit clearly had a certain level of wisdom, though not much, the survival instinct to choose to flee when facing an unbeatable opponent was still there.

When it realized it was no match for Asuna, it turned around and prepared to escape without hesitation.

“Trying to escape? It’s not that easy!”

Seeing the Cursed Spirit trying to flee, how could Asuna just let it go?

“[Flashing Penetrator]!”

Asuna quickly raised the rapier in her hand and aimed it at the fleeing Cursed Spirit. A ball of light suddenly shone from her body, and then she pierced towards the side of the Cursed Spirit like lightning.

“It’s all over!”

Asuna’s eyes were firm as she mercilessly slashed at the Cursed Spirit’s fierce and twisted head. As she moved, the body of the Cursed Spirit that had been successfully eliminated began to gradually disappear.

Utaha, who was lying on the ground not far away, watched this thrilling scene, and the heavy stone hanging in her heart finally fell.

After finishing the fight, Asuna sheathed her rapier, then walked towards Utaha and extended her hand to help her up.

Utaha also extended her hand and placed it in Asuna’s.

Asuna gently pulled Utaha up from the ground smoothly.

Utaha, who was pulled up, almost fell back to the ground due to her swollen knee and sprained ankle.

Fortunately, Asuna had quick reflexes and helped her.

“Come, let me help you to the bench over there, so your wounds can be treated better.” Asuna said gently.

Utaha nodded gratefully, her voice a bit weak: “Thank you... My name is Kasumigaoka Utaha. If there is anything I can do to help you, please ask.”

Hearing Utaha’s gratitude, Asuna smiled faintly and said with concern: “You’re welcome, senpai. But for some reason, there seem to be more Cursed Spirits recently. So, senpai, you better not go out at night.”

“Senpai? Are you also a student at Shuchi’in Academy?” Utaha asked in surprise.

Asuna nodded and replied softly: “Yes, senpai, please keep this a secret for me~”

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” Utaha promised.

Asuna carefully helped Utaha sit on the bench, then took out alcohol and gauze from the ring on her finger.

First, she carefully disinfected the wound with alcohol, then bandaged it with gauze. Throughout the process, Asuna’s movements were gentle and skillful, making Utaha feel an inexplicable sense of peace.

“Now it’s okay. As for the sprain, fortunately, it’s not serious. You’ll be fine after two days of rest. It’s late. I’ll take you home, senpai.”

“Um... Thank you so much, little sister...”

“It’s okay, I’m Yuuki Asuna from Class A, first year. Kasumigaoka-senpai, just call me by my name~”

Asuna saw Utaha didn’t know what to call her, so she took the initiative to introduce herself.

“Alright... Asuna, just call me Utaha.”

“Alright, let’s go, Utaha-senpai. I’ll carry you home.” Asuna turned around and crouched in front of Utaha.

Utaha’s face immediately turned red. She hesitated for a moment, and finally, gently lay on Asuna’s back.

This was the first time she had close contact with another person! And the other person was still a girl...

Utaha blushed and thought: ‘I feel like I’m starting to become weird...’

She lay quietly on Asuna’s back, feeling the warm body temperature and soft breath of the other person. This feeling made her a bit embarrassed, but at the same time, she felt an indescribable peace of mind.

After treating her sprain, Asuna took Utaha to the side of the road and prepared to take a taxi home. After all, this place was still quite far from Utaha’s home.

Taxis in Japan are indeed a bit expensive, but for a wealthy woman like Asuna, it was not worth mentioning.
