"Hmm... So you're telling me that a Special Grade curse appeared in the prison facility?" Gojo sat on a couch, his eyes sombre as he looked at Akira, Maki and Utahime sitting before him.
'Did those geezers do this behind my back? No, they could never control a special grade cursed spirit with their pathetic strength,' Gojo blinked under the bandages, no concern in his mind.
They might be able to tame Grade 1 curses, but there is no way in hell those weaklings could tame a special-grade curse.
"Yeah, it was very strong, and it seemed to be waiting for me to get there, as if someone placed it there," Akira nodded with a serious face. He knew that it was probably Kaori who placed it there, but he couldn't tell anyone since he was under a binding vow.
After returning from the prison facility, Akira immediately went to Gojo to inquire about the cold chain sensation he had experienced, not wanting to waste any time.
After finding out about binding vows and the consequences of breaking them, Akira immediately knew he had no choice but to participate in the Culling Games unless he wanted the heavens to punish him.
"Looks like someone has gotten a bit ballsy behind my back. Hmm, I should pay a visit to those old foggies and remind them what my name means~,"
Gojo smiled, a finger twirling a strand of his white hair as he crossed his legs, his tone relaxed but filled with a pressure that everyone in the room could feel.
Gojo had lost his best friend and some of his closest friends due to the mission they were sent on behind his back. And he already liked his students very much, so he was actually quite angry.
If not for Akira being strong, Utahime and Maki or whoever, would have been sent to complete this mission in his stead, and Akira and Maki would have died.
"Oh, and why is Utahime-senpai with you two? Haa! Don't tell me... Utahime is in love with Akira-kun?!"
"You annoying albino! That's nothing like that, I was there in the prison facility where the cursed spirit was!" Utahime's face turned beet red as she stood up, pointing a shaking finger at Gojo.
Utahime looked at Akira sitting beside her with a side eye, hoping that he wouldn't say or react to what Gojo said. Once she saw him sitting without a care, she sighed, though a hint of disappointment was burning in her chest.
'Is my charm really not effective? Or is it because of my scar?' Utahime sat back down under the amused gaze of Gojo, who could see every inch of her eye movement.
"Tch! Our focus should be on finding out who that woman-hiss!"
Before Maki could continue her words, Akira's warm palm landed on her bare thighs, her skirt too short to cover all of it. She shivered, her ears turning red and her eyes trembling as she robotically turned her head to Akira.
"W-What do you think you are doing, you dumbass!"
Bang!
Maki punched Akira on the head with a flustered scream, causing Akira to grin as he rubbed his head to soothe the slight pain. Utahime and Gojo looked at them with raised eyebrows.
Maki felt the place where Akira's palm touched her thighs throb with heat, her lips pressed into a thin line as she held back a sudden moan that left her mouth, not wanting to be embarrassed.
Akira did not let any information out on his face, not wanting to reveal Kaori, since he wanted to keep her hidden. If she were suddenly investigated by the school, she might do something unpredictable.
Or she could even kill the students or jujutsu sorcerers. After all, if she has such strength that even he feels helpless, then there is no way anyone could take her down.
With the sole exception being Satoru Gojo, of course.
'Hmm, Akira is hiding something... Is a binding vow involved in this? Otherwise, he shouldn't even know what it was since I didn't teach him about it yet.'
Gojo sat back on the couch, crossing his arms on his chest as he watched Maki bicker with a grinning Akira, who did not seem worried or anything, his facial muscle control excellent.
Suddenly, Akira looked up towards the door, a bright smile on his face as he watched the door intensely. Maki also looked, hearing rapid footsteps outside the door.
"Hmm, Akira-kun, Maki-chan looks a little annoyed. How about you cheer her up?" Gojo leaned forward, his hands pressed together with a wide grin on his face, causing Maki to glare at him.
Bang!
"Akiraaa! I missed you!"
Yuka barged through the door, crying as she ran towards Akira, throwing herself onto him. Maki clicked her tognue as she got a face full of stomach, while Yuka wrapped her hands around Akira.
"Are you okay, Akira? I heard you got injured on the mission? Who injured you? I am going to kill them!"
Yuka's face suddenly turned dark, her eyes narrowed from anger. Her cursed energy turned even darker, causing the light in the room to darken from the massive pressure.
"Heh~, it still blows my mind how much cursed energy she has," Gojo laughed as he looked at Yuka, her cursed energy so massive that it filled the entire room.
Utahime, right next to Akira, froze, her body not daring to move as she felt Yuka's cursed energy pressing down on her. She looked to the side at Akira, asking for help wiht her gaze.
Akira smiled, chuckling as he rubbed Yuka's back gently.
"It's alright, Yuka. The curse had already been killed by my hands, so it's not a problem anymore." Akira leaned down, pressing his face into the top of Yuka's head, smiling as her shampoo scent entered his nose.
His hands wrapped around her soft waist, feeling her chest pressing against his own, the soft tissues of her breasts squashing together like marshmallows.
"Really? That's good, I knew you would never be beaten by a mere curse!" Yuka smiled as she looked up at Akira, her black eyes locking with Akira's red pupils.
Maki watched this with crossed arms, her eyes narrowing as she watched Akira's face and the way his eyes softened when looking at Yuka.
She clicked her tongue in annoyance.
"Hey, now that we're back, what happened to my cursed tool?" Speaking up, Maki extended her hand out in front of Akira, who froze as he turned to her robotically.
He thought back to his last attack on the curse, and he vaguely remembered the knuckleduster breaking from the force of his punch immediately.
"Calm down, Maki-chan. It's just a cursed tool. Besides, you have many of them, right?" Yuka looked at Maki with a cute pout, causing Maki to roll her eyes in annoyance as she took her hand back.
"Well, we finished speaking about everything we needed to. You guys are free to do as you wish. No more missions for the next week. Also, this is your payment for completing the mission."
Gojo reached into his pocket, taking out three bank cards. Those cards were insured and backed up by the government. This is where Tokyo and Kyoto schools send the money for Jujutsu Sorcerers.
"Hmm? How much would this mission give us?" Akira asked with courtesy.
Maki, Akira and Yuka all reached out, taking their own respective cards. Yuka was given one as well since she was on a mission with Panda and Inumaki.
"A grade 4 mission usually nets about 300,000 Yen. It increases with the difficulty of the mission," Gojo said, causing Akira's eyes to shine with pleasure.
'That's like almost 2,000 dollars!' Akira thought while pocketing the card.
'I am gonna be rich!'
Akira and Maki both thought. Maki is more so because the Zenin Clan does not give her money now that she is a student at Toky Jujutsu High.

Guys, I have seen the votes, and I have also seen some of your concerns regarding the voting form in the last chapter.
I have decided on an outcome that will make everyone happy and no one sad.
Outcome: Kenjussy is happening, but she is not a female lead, just a one-night stand, so she can gain Akira's genes~
Some of you don't want her as a female lead cause you guys say it feels weird since Kenjaku is just... You know, a weirdo. So I'll make it a one-time thing.
Leave a Power Stone!
