"Hmm? Who's that over there? I never saw him before. Is he a new student?!"
Panda called out to Maki while pointing at Megumi with his cute, fat fingers, a hint of eagerness and excitement on his face.
"I never saw him either before... But I do know of him," Maki placed a hand on her waist, her rimless glasses glowing under the sunlight, while her new short hair gleamed.
She wore a short cape, with a turtle-neck, a sleeveless shirt, and tight jeans, with the Chain of a Thousand Miles wrapped around her waist as a belt, and Kimitsu attached to the back of her jeans.
"Oh? Then do you know who he is? I saw him fight Gojo-sensei, so he must be pretty important to him," Yuka asked with curiosity, standing next to Akira on the left, her fingers holding his hand.
"His name is Megumi Fushiguro, he is also from the... Zenin clan. But he was raised by Gojo-sensei and has the cursed technique of 10 Shadows," Maki explained, causing everyone to raise their eyebrows in surprise.
By now, they all know about the strongest cursed techniques in the world that are passed down from clan to clan. They are aware of the 10-Shadows and the Limitless.
"Doesn't that mean Megumi Fushiguro is Special-Grade like the three of you?" Panda asked with raised eyebrows. Akira and Yuka looked at Maki with curious looks.
They didn't know she was a Special-Grade...
"After destroying the Zenin clan, I was given the status of a Special-Grade by the elders of the Sorcery Guild," Maki explained with a nonchalant shrug, her lean, sexy muscles gleaming under the sun.
Although Maki technically doesn't fit into any of the grading systems due to not having an ounce of cursed energy, her actual strength is greater than even grade 1 sorcerers.
Nanami, Yaga and Gakuganji have no reason to not give her the rank of Special-Grade, especially since she managed to destroy the Zenin clan by herself without any help.
"That means the three of us could take Special-Grade missions from now on... I heard that a Special-Grade mission has a pay of 5 to 10,000,000 Yen," Akira spoke up with shining eyes, drool practically leaking out from his mouth at the thought.
He wasn't really in need of money at the moment since he had been taking some missions. But who would refuse getting more money? Plus, Special-Grade missions guarantee a strong opponent for him.
After all, he actually quite likes fighting.
"Three of us? Do you mean the two of us?" Yuka leaned in closer to Akira, her tone suddenly overly warm as she looked up at him from the side, her hand in Akira's tightening to a frightening degree.
"Ugh!" Akira froze at Yuka's tone, sweat sliding down his temple. After talking wiht Yuka about what happened with Kaori and why he did it, she forgave him, even though she was angry and not a fan of his decisions.
But it seems he shouldn't push her buttons as of now before she calms down a little more...
Maki looked at Akira and Yuka from the side, narrowing her eyebrows with an annoyed huff at Akira's cowerdice. Though she quite likes this side of him...
But he promised to confess his love to her face-to-face once he came back, but all day, he had done nothing to bring it up, only talking to her as if it were another day.
It was getting quite annoying for her...
"I guess we could go on a mission today... I heard there is a Special-Grade mission that needs to be taken care of..." Maki suddenly spoke up with irritation, catching Akira's attention.
Akira looked at Maki's annoyed expression and immediately knew what she was thinking.
"Hah? Go on a mission with you? Why would he want to do that when I am right here?" Yuka responded to Maki's words with a roll of her eyes, latching onto Akira's right arm.
"Tch! Who said anything about going alone with me? You could come as well, though I doubt you'd be much of a help with your strength," Maki clicked her tongue before a grin came up on her face, teasing Yuka.
Pew!
Yuka froze, an invisible arrow piercing her heart as she heard Maki's words. After Maki awakened her Heavenly Restriction, she did get stronger than her...
For the moment.
"Hmm... A threesome?" Akira uttered under his breath, causing Maki and Yuka both to freeze up at the same time, their faces turning red, visible to the eye.
"W-What?" Yuka questioned with a shy stutter, Maki's ears twitching as she listened for Akira's answer.
"What? We could go on a mission, all three of us. It could be like a threesome~," Akira grinned, revealing his sharp teeth as he sensed Yuka's flustered emotions, and Maki's heart beat accelerated.
"Oh..." Yuka and Maki muttered at the same time, slightly relieved and also a bit disappointed. They're not ready for all that, but they also aren't against it.
"Anyway, Special-Grades are rare, so I doubt we would be given a mission where three Special-Grades are on it," Akira continued, shrugging his shoulders at the unrealistic thoughts in his head.
Plus, he doesn't believe there is anyone strong enough to make him, Yuka, and Maki go all out at the same time in a fight, except Gojo, and maybe Kaori.
Soon, the five of them reached Gojo and Megumi, who watched them with curiosity. Gojo, on the other hand, grinned as he looked at Akira, pushing his glasses down his nose bridge.
"Well, well, well. Look who graduated from being a shy little virgin~," Gojo teased. Megumi instantly moved away from Gojo, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Uhm.. I don't know him," Megumi spoke while pointing at Gojo, who immediately adopted a hurt expression.
Akira watched with an amused chuckle.
"So, what did you call us here for? I imagine it's not just to meet this kid?" Akira asked wiht confusion, while Megumi's eyebrows twitched at being called a kid.
"We're the same age..." Megumi muttered, but no one listened to him.
"I wanted to know if you guys wanna participate in the Goodwill event. It's basically a competition between Tokyo and Kyoto," Gojo explained while putting his arm around Megumi's shoulder and rubbing his knuckle on his head.
"Well, we ain't got nothing else to do, so I guess we could particiapte," Akira replied with a shrug. He also wanted to see if the school where Utahime taught were strong.
"Nice! Though you'll have to participate even if you don't want to~," Gojo threw a thumbs up at Akira, before speaking with a grin.
"Uh, whatever..." Akira muttered.
Meanwhile...
Kaori stood in front of a barrier, a smile on her face, with Uraume standing next to her. The two watched as a massive amount of negative energy swirled and condensed, a new cursed spirit about to be born.
"Are you sure this cursed spirit will be able to manipulate souls? If not, then you can say goodbye to your so-called Culling Games," Uraume questioned Karoi with doubt.
Without awakening the cursed techniques of the targets that she had marked, the culling games would be boring, with ancient sorcerers just blitzing everyone without the ability to fight back.
Kaori needs those people to awaken their cursed energy and technique by changing their minds, so they can awaken those two in the first place.
"Of course, I am confident in my plan. Plus, this is not just for the Culling Games anymore," Kaori shook her head in amusement, watching as the energy slowly condensed in a cocoon that pulsed with Special-Grade cursed energy.
The image of Akira, wielding cursed energy and a cursed technique, popped into her head, bringing a smile along with it.
'Akira... I wonder if you'll be a Calamity, or if you'll be a God... I can't wait to see it~,' Kaori thought with a chuckle, an obsessed look covering her facial features.
"Tch! Disgusting..." Uraume muttered with a click of her tongue at Kaori's sudden change.
____________________________________________
The reason Akira does not have a cursed technique is that his brain is not wired like a sorcerer's, so it will need to be changed to be like that of a sorcerer.
Akira's cursed technique is going to be related to Imagination... You guys can guess what it is if you want. And I thought it would suit the theme of Baki since Baki and other characters can use their Imagination for some devious things.
Like punishing someone so hard that their souls fly out of their body.
