Soohe carefully placed EJ on the ground, her bony fingers trembling slightly as she turned her attention toward their formidable opponent. EJ couldn't help but acknowledge Haru's striking beauty, a stark contrast to the horrors she had committed. It was unsettling to think that behind that alluring facade lay a ruthless murderer, someone who callously ended innocent lives without remorse.

What troubled EJ even more was the realization that Haru was the person his teacher, Nishimura Riki, had once loved deeply. EJ had often heard Riki's tortured cries for someone named "Haru" in his restless dreams.

He had witnessed his teacher's eyes swollen and red from tears he tried to conceal. Now, seeing Haru face to face, EJ's suspicions were confirmed. She was the enigmatic woman who had left an indelible mark on his seemingly heartless teacher.

EJ could empathize with Riki on some level. Haru possessed formidable combat skills and a deep understanding of curses. Despite her erratic speeches, EJ couldn't ignore the fact that she was raising two young girls on her own and genuinely cared for them.

However, he had to remind himself that, regardless of her personal circumstances, Haru was their enemy. She had just unleashed a wave of destruction upon Jujutsu High, nearly taking the lives of his closest friends. She was relentlessly pursuing his cursed spirit, a being that was his friend and first love.

He couldn't allow that to happen.

Haru's laughter pierced the tense air, and she clapped her hands mockingly, acknowledging EJ's seething anger. "It's your first time experiencing such violent emotions, isn't it?" she taunted. "That heightened physical prowess, the sense of omnipotence... your senses must be sharpened as well."

As she spoke, Haru swung her chained weapons gracefully, the same weapons once wielded by Xiao Dejun himself—the very cause of her transformation into a villain.

"My tricks aren't enough for you now," she pouts before bringing on her smirk. "I'll have to crush you myself."

Haru and EJ faced each other with palpable tension, their energies clashing in a volatile dance of cursed techniques and martial prowess. Haru wielded the deadly chained weapon. She twirled them with finesse, the chains whistling through the air like vipers, ready to strike.

EJ, fueled by his emotions and the power of his cursed spirit Soohe, charged forward. The boy's movements were a blur, his spear-like cursed technique flashing menacingly as he aimed to pierce Haru's defenses. The rooftop beneath them shook with every strike, debris flying around as their battle raged on.

Haru's calculated strikes and evasive maneuvers kept her one step ahead, while EJ's relentless assault showcased the full potential of his newfound abilities. Soohe, the formidable skeleton-like cursed spirit, hovered nearby, its hollow sockets focused on Haru.
