HRU: Chapter 291: Kamo Kenshin’s Ambition

Although he’d always known that Yuki’s ideas were wild and unrestrained, he hadn’t expected this.

She actually planned to cooperate with Gojo Satoshi? Wasn’t that just pure nonsense?

The old man walked over to where the students were sitting.

"Principal..." The two girls quickly greeted him.

Gakuganji nodded graciously. "Haha, no need to be so formal."

"You already know why I came here, don’t you?" he asked with a smile.

The three nodded confidently. "You must be here for the goodwill event. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely win it!"

"No, you misunderstood," Gakuganji shook his head. "As the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu Technical College, I do have something to say to you."

"This goodwill event has drawn more attention from the Jujutsu world than ever before. I know you’re under a lot of pressure."

"So I won’t add to that. This time, we have only one goal—defeat Gojo Satoshi!"

"Let the Jujutsu world see that Kyoto High doesn’t depend on him. Even if you don’t win the championship, you’ll still be the pride of Kyoto High!"

The group was stunned.

"It’s undeniable that Gojo Satoru and Suguru are incredibly powerful. Even if you can’t beat them, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Learning to accept such things is part of our growth as well," Gakuganji added.

Everyone fell silent, all somewhat surprised.

They were aware of how terrifying the Gojo brothers were—hailed as the strongest Six Eyes sorcerers in a thousand years. There was even a saying that “from the moment they were born, they had already surpassed the entire Jujutsu world.”

Even if they managed to defeat Satoshi by working together, challenging Satoru for final victory would be another matter entirely.

They had mentally prepared for this, but didn’t expect their principal to be even more open-minded than they were.

"Principal, we’ll definitely work with Tokyo Technical College to defeat Gojo Satoshi," Kamo Kenshin said seriously.

Of course, he had no intention of giving up on winning overall.

Kamo Kenshin clenched his fists.

He was the legitimate heir of the Kamo family, yet because he failed to awaken the Blood Manipulation Technique, his position had long been surpassed by that bastard.

Even after all the missions and achievements he’d accomplished over the years, his father still wouldn’t even glance at him...

Meanwhile, Noritoshi, born from a concubine, didn’t need to do a thing. He was handed everything from the start.

If one success wasn’t enough, he would continue piling them up until those people couldn’t ignore him anymore.

Now was his chance—this goodwill event.

He would defeat Gojo Satoshi and prove that even without the Blood Manipulation Technique, he was no weaker than anyone else.

...

At noon, under the blazing sun.

In the Zenin clan's main hall, all the major figures of the family had gathered.

The goodwill event didn’t directly involve them, but it did affect both the Kamo and Gojo families.

Especially Gojo Satoshi.

Which meant they couldn’t afford to ignore the matter.

But most of them were thoroughly displeased with his behavior, and the room was soon filled with murmurs of irritation.

"What’s Gojo Satoshi even trying to gain from this?"

"Jujutsu High is part of our Directorate General. Is he trying to use the goodwill event to pressure us?"

"Wasn’t the last time he showed off enough?" Zenin Naobito said coldly.

The others went silent for a long time.

Even though serious injuries were prohibited, there had been casualties due to ‘accidents’ during past goodwill events.

No one could deny Gojo Satoshi was a genius.

But the Zenin clan resented his behavior, suppressing others like they didn’t even matter.

They were one of the three great families too!

"That Kamo boy seems to be part of Kyoto High's team. Why don’t we lend him a hand?" Zenin Shinsuke suggested.

Very few among the Zenin descendants awakened actual Cursed Techniques. Though there was a rare chance for those without Cursed Energy to obtain a Heavenly Restriction, most were still ordinary.

Their strength as one of the top families came from another advantage—their deep development of Cursed Tools.

As long as a non-sorcerer could master a Cursed Tool, their combat power could rival any pure Jujutsu sorcerer.

And importantly, the goodwill event didn’t restrict the use of Cursed Tools.

Everyone familiar with the Zenin clan’s values could already guess what they were thinking.

"Alright," Naobito paused, then nodded. "Send the armor to that Kamo boy."

With the Gojo family growing stronger than ever, it was only natural to join forces with the Kamo to keep them in check.

……

At the back mountain of the Kamo estate.

Under the stars and moonlight, Kamo Kenshin sat cross-legged on a jagged rock, carefully honing his control over his Cursed Energy.

He was already considered a genius in the Jujutsu world.

But because he failed to awaken the Blood Manipulation Technique, the clan had all but written him off.

Without that inherited technique, he could never stand alongside the likes of the Gojo brothers or Zenin Toji.

Kamo Shinji had placed all his hopes on the child born from a mistress—Kamo Noritoshi.

Kenshin had heard of their overwhelming strength.

But wasn’t everyone born with the same two hands and one head?

He would prove it.

He would prove that even without the Kamo family’s most prized technique, he was not inferior to the so-called geniuses of the great families.

He would prove it with results.

Just need to work harder.
