[1 month later...]
Inside the massive training ground of Tokyo High, the students stood in a clearing, Gojo and Yaga there, along with Nanami, overwatching the match.
Facing the Tokyo High team were Utahime and Gakuganji, along with their students: Todo, Mechamaru, Noritoshi Kamo, Useless Miwa, and Momo, the rather useless broom girl.
"Everyone on that team is so strange... One looks like a human gorilla, one has his eye closed, and one looks like a robot..." Megumi sighed from tiredness as he sat next to Akira.
A slight sheen of sweat was constantly on Megumi's forehead, his upper body always pulled down as if he were dragging something heavy with him every second.
"Right now, that Todo guy, Noritoshi Kamo and Mechamaru should be the most dangerous competition for you," Akira patted Megumi on the back as he got up.
"But you should be able to put up a fight, and even win if you get creative with your technique, and one more thing. I allow you to take it off,"
At Akira's words, Megumi's eyes lit up with relief and a slight hint of excitement.
Megumi stood up with a groan of effort, the shadow under him rippling before a set of exercise weights was thrown onto the floor with a loud thud.
A total of 400 kilograms of weight was thrown onto the floor, cracking the cement slightly, and attracting the attention of the students from the Kyoto school.
"This guy... I need to know what his taste is." Todo was the first one to open his mouth, fighting intent in his words and movement as he walked towards Megumi.
"Oh no... Looks like Todo-san is going to ask that question again..." Miwa blinked in worry, standing next to Mechamaru as she watched Todo move towards Megumi and Akira.
Momo slowly moved over to Miwa with her broom, a hint of annoyance on her face as she watched Todo.
"That idiot is gonna get his butt handed to him if he messes with that guy next to Megumi," Momo said with a sigh. She didn't think Todo could fight against a Special-Grade.
"Don't worry, they shouldn't start fighting out of nowhere. It's just a question," Noritoshi Kamo spoke up, keeping his eyes on Todo in case something happens, though it's not likely.
Back with Megumi and Akira. Megumi slowly rolled his shoulders to release the tension, feeling an absurd amount of lightness in his body; it felt as if he could jump into the clouds.
"Your body should have improved by at least 20% in this month. With cursed energy reinforcement, it is a huge improvement for a mere month," Akira spoke with a nod of satisfaction as he used X-ray to see Megumi's muscles.
"Akira-san... Thank you for training me this month. Without you, I wouldn't have improved os much," Megumi turned to Akira and bowed slightly with appreciation in his tone.
"Oh, don't mind it at all. You have some serious potential, kid. I couldn't stand there and watch as it gets ruined because Gojo couldn't teach," Akira replied with a chuckle, patting Megumi on the shoulder.
"I heard that!"
Gojo called out from a distance, only for everyone to ignore him.
After meeting Megumi, Gojo annoyingly placed the burden of training Megumi onto Akira, who didn't even have enough cursed energy to be a sorcerer.
Using X-ray and his talent, Akira still managed to teach Megumi a lot this month.
Like using reinforcement in a better way, increasing his efficiency with cursed energy, and also a slight amount of martial arts, in case he needs it for hand-to-hand combat.
"Hey, black hair and red hair. Let me ask you a question, and your fate depends on what your answers are."
"Hmm?" Megumi and Akira turned to Todo, confusion in their eyes. Todo just grinned as he moved closer, standing a meter away from Akira and Megumi.
"What do you want to ask?" Megumi asked in confusion.
"It's quite simple, really.... What is your type of woman?" Todo grinned as he finished his sentence. An awkward silence filled the area as everyone stopped what they were doing and stared.
"Megumi, you wanna go first or should I?" Akira turned to Megumi with a smile, his lips twitching as he tried to not chuckle.
"Senior... You should go," Megumi hesitated before turning to Akira. He didn't really wanna answer his question, but since Akria wanted to, he decided to as well.
"Alright, everybody! Listen up! My type of woman is not a single one; it varies between lean muscle dommy, possessive girlfriend, and a mommy with thick thighs parasite! That's my type,"
Akira's shout plunged the area into an even deeper silence. Megumi quietly moved half a meter away from Akira.
Todo stared at Akira in silence, before a conflicted expression crept onto his face. He put his hand under his chin as he began to think.
"Parasite... Your first two answers are quite kinky, but acceptable... But why a parastie for the last one?" Todo asked in confusion, and Akria shrugged his shoulders, not intending to speak.
"Whatever... Now, your turn, spiky head," Todod turned to Megumi, who took a breath as he spoke.
"I don't have a type, as long as she is kind and gentle-"
"So boring! You are the kind of people I hate the most..." Todo started crying as he looked at Megumi, his fists clenched. Megumi stopped speaking, annoyance filling his eyes.
Boom!
Todo rushed forward, his hand pulled back for a punch. Megumi reacted, his body reonofrced with cursed energy.
Boom!
Todo's punch was caught by a fist. Akira sighed as he gently pushed back against the fist, sending Todo flying back.
"Let's not start a fight before the event even starts. You could solve your differences in the goodwill comp," Akira said to Todo, who came to a stop, two trenches under him.
"Todo! Get back to your team right now!" Utahime came walking towards Todo, and Todo clicked his tongue as he walked back, fighting intent in his eyes as he looked at Akira.
Turning to Akira and Megumi, Utahime stuttered as her cheeks redened. She bowed to Akira slightly, her voice shaky as she tried to apologise for Todo's actions.
"I-I am s-sorry," Utahime stuttered out.
"It's fine, nothing happened anyway. You don't need to apologise for anything," Akira chguckled as he walked past Utahime, patting her on the shoulder in the process.
Utahime froze as she felt his hands on her shoulder for a second before pouting as he left.
"Alright, everyone! Gather here for now! The competition is about to begin, and the rules are simple," Gojo called out, gathering everyone in front of him.
"The rules are simple for the first round of the competition. There are cursed spirits ranging from Grade 4 to Grade 2 released in the forest in a certain area. Grade 4 is 1 point, 3 is 2, 2 is 3."
"Which team has the most points before the timer runs out is the winner. You obviously gain points by exotrsicing the curses!" Gojo finished with a clap and a satisfied smile on his face as he looked at the teams.
"Now, let the team battles begin!"
