As the dark spirit awakens within Jaune, the once amiable and earnest Huntsman-in-training finds himself at the center of a malevolent power struggle. The clash between Jaune's noble heart and Sukuna's insatiable hunger for chaos threatens to shatte...
The battle was fully underway, Mahito charging with intent to capture one of them. Neo employed her semblance, crafting multiple illusions to baffle and mislead the curse. Oobleck and Jaune rallied together, facing off against Mahito's onslaught. The conflict swung back and forth, each side delivering and receiving blows.
Neo's illusory tactics hindered Mahito, making it challenging for him to pinpoint the true target. Oobleck and Jaune contributed to the effort, working in tandem to counter Mahito's every move. Their strikes were taking their toll, visible injuries forming on Mahito's face.
However, the tide shifted when Mahito created an opening. Leaping backward, he transformed his fist into a menacing drill and launched it at Oobleck and Jaune. Oobleck swiftly evaded the attack, but Jaune barely managed to dodge in the nick of time, catching the flying drill.
Jaune: You can't keep stretching your limbs forever.
Mahito's smirk betrayed his confidence. Yet, Jaune's comment foreshadowed a grave miscalculation. Unaware of the extent of Mahito's abilities, Jaune seized the elongated limb, paying a painful price for his overconfidence.
Three spikes erupted from the distended appendage, piercing through Jaune's hands, a gruesome spectacle accompanied by a spray of blood.

Oobleck: Don't grab it, damn it!
Oobleck's urgent warning rang out, though Jaune's unwavering grip on the extended limb demonstrated an astonishing resilience, despite the obvious pain it must have been causing him. Neo registered the lack of visible distress on Jaune's face, an unexpected sight that clashed with her prior assumptions. Professor Oobleck, however, was initially taken aback by the unexpected development.
Jaune: Damn you!
With sheer determination, Jaune yanked the elongated limb upward, propelling Mahito into a collision with a nearby wall. The impact left a deep indentation in the concrete, an impressive display of Jaune's unexpected strength.
As Mahito regained his footing, he addressed Jaune with a hint of amusement.
Mahito: You know, most people would have simply let go.
Mahito opted for caution, retracting his extended limb back to his arm. Extending it too far could potentially compromise his power and mobility.
With a serious expression, Jaune turned to Neo, his unspoken message clear. Neo, caught off guard by Jaune's physical prowess, stared back in astonishment, and Jaune nodded in confirmation. He then charged at Mahito, prompting Neo to act.
Neo employed her semblance, creating multiple illusions of Jaune attacking Mahito from various angles. The illusionary Jaunes synchronized their movements with the real Jaune, launching simultaneous punches at Mahito. Caught off guard by the array of attacks, Mahito found himself unable to react in time.
