Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine-Chapter 211 ⟴ From the Same Style, No Way to Break Through

In the spacious "arena" (aka common room).

Yukino and Haruno faced each other with cold smiles, their fists clenched.

Each sister was absolutely certain of her victory!

They circled each other across the wide arena, Cursed Energy surging around their fists with incredible speed.

Haruno raised her palm and called out, "Yukino, should your big sister give you a two-move handicap? Don't blame my age when you lose!"

Her smile masked her true feelings — the Cursed Energy emanating from Yukino's body showed months of dedicated practice!

Despite her vigilance, this development had blindsided her. How many secret training sessions had her sister managed behind her back?

Though Haruno's heart was bleeding, she maintained her kind and gentle facade.

While Yukino's Cursed Energy was impressive, Jujutsu Sorcerers primarily competed through their Innate Techniques and powerful strikes like Black Flash.

This fact applied equally to both sisters — seeing Haruno's surge of Cursed Energy, Yukino ground her teeth.

She strongly suspected that the mysterious guest Daiki had brought to the luxury apartment the previous night had been her sister standing before her now!

"Sister, worry about yourself. These punches will hurt — don't say I didn't warn you!" Confident in her mastery of the Reverse Cursed Technique to heal any injuries, Yukino attacked without restraint.

Boom!

Her powerful legs propelled her forward like a hunting cheetah — in an instant, she appeared before Haruno.

The combat techniques gained through the Hundred Teachings ability encompassed not just Black Flash and Reverse Cursed Technique, but various human fighting techniques as well.

Yukino's Cursed Energy-charged fists rained down like a violent storm, and Haruno, after a moment's surprise, responded with an identical barrage!

As their attack speeds increased, so did their Cursed Energy output — victory would go to whoever could outlast the other.

However, both sisters were shocked to discover their Cursed Energy levels matched almost perfectly — neither had enough advantage to secure victory.

"Yukino, care to explain how you acquired such powerful Cursed Energy?"

"Sister, I should be asking you that. How could anyone reach this level so quickly? It's unbelievable!"

Their fists continued to clash as they exchanged fierce smiles through gritted teeth, their battle so intense it made the mansion's maids tremble.

Yukino suddenly switched techniques, channeling all her Cursed Energy into a single devastating punch — black lightning erupted!

Boom!

Caught unprepared, Haruno flew back several meters.

Just as Yukino thought she'd won, her sister's wounds began healing visibly, and Haruno rose to her feet, fists clenched.

"Reverse Cursed Technique!" Yukino was dumbfounded — such mastery of healing, combined with matching Cursed Energy, seemed impossible.

Haruno wiped blood from her lip and snarled, "Black Flash!"

They shouted simultaneously, "How are you this skilled?"

Stunned, they nonetheless resumed their relentless exchange, trading dozens of blows without either gaining the upper hand.

Then realization struck — they'd learned from the same master!

Their Cursed Energy output, mastery of Black Flash, and Reverse Cursed Technique were virtually identical, making a quick victory impossible.

Moreover, sharing the same fighting style meant neither could break through the other's defenses!

While the sisters grew increasingly frustrated, the onlookers — Erina, Rindō, Nene, and the others — watched in awe.

When the sisters unleashed their full power, black lightning filled the arena, their movements leaving trails of afterimages.

While Nene and Momo merely marveled at the Black Flash display, Rindō, seasoned by years of hunting rare ingredients, understood its true significance as an expert.

'Speed, power, agility, perception... All attributes exceed human limits.' She swallowed hard, her golden pupils reflecting the cratered ground — a height she couldn't reach.

No... a height she could now reach!

Rindō's dream was to hunt and taste all rare ingredients. Though it seemed grand, it was actually quite limited. Land ingredients had been thoroughly explored, and while the ocean offered vast potential, the likelihood of finding rare ingredients remained discouragingly low...

Rather than pursuing known rare ingredients, she was more intrigued by a mysterious legend circulating in Tōtsuki Academy: The Endless Gourmet Wilderness!

Previously, Rindō had dismissed it as just a story, but after witnessing Jujutsu Sorcerers and Daiki, doubt crept into her mind.

She suspected this legend wasn't mere fiction but a truth buried by time — now, encountering the Dragon King, she had hope of uncovering it!

She thought of the mysterious red pepper she had treasured, discovered deep in the mountains — a variety she'd never seen before. Despite her attempts to cultivate it, all had failed. Even Professor Jun Shiomi admitted she'd never encountered such a specimen.

Noticing Rindō and the others watching, the Yukinoshita sisters halted their fight and turned questioning eyes toward Daiki.

They simply wanted to understand when these perplexing relationships — complete with mastery of Black Flash and Reverse Cursed Technique — had begun.

As Haruno's gaze drifted past Itsuki, then snapped back, her eyes instinctively sought out Yukino.

A memory suddenly struck her: When she'd met Yotsuba in the car, she'd automatically assumed the others present were the Nakano sisters.

But something didn't add up — while the Nakano quintuplets looked similar with subtle physical differences, Yukino's proportions remained consistent.

She distinctly remembered that day with Yotsuba, how one of them had notably different proportions — could it be...? Recalling Yotsuba's startled expression, Haruno glanced at her mother and fell silent.

"Um, Daiki-kun, shouldn't we be heading to school?" Itsuki asked, raising her hand.

"I've already excused you all — it's too late now." Haruno replied listlessly.

At this moment, Sonoka, standing in the corner, received a phone notification.

After answering the call, she announced, "The Food Selection will be held today."

Rindō and the others exchanged confused glances — not only was the Food Selection's timing unexpectedly sudden, but they seemingly no longer needed to participate in it.
