"We need to talk about that... Non-sorcerer,"
A voice spat out the word like a curse, disdain and mockery in his pathetic tone, trying to make himself look braver than he actually is by trying to hide the fear in his tone.
Inside the higher-ups' headquarters, the higher-ups spoke up from behind their cover. Their voice filled with tension and dissatisfaction directed at the latest news from their spies.
"Being able to exorcise a special grade cursed spirit without even being able to use cursed energy is something no one had ever shown before," One of the higher-ups spoke, tension in his voice as he mentioned Akira, visibly cautious.
"If he is so strong without cursed energy, using only his physical prowess, then that simply means that the boy is born with this power, meaning it could be passed down to his blood in the future," The third higher-up spoke with a hint, and a direct killing intent in his tone.
"I don't have to be specific as to what that entails, do I?" The third higher-up finished with a sharp tone, causing the others to be silent for a second with understanding.
The threat of Akira having children in the future is massive to the Jujutsu clans and the higher-ups' control. If all of his children had such monstrous talent and a body made for fighting, it could bring the end to Jujutsu and the need for sorcerers.
That is something that the higher-ups and the Jujutsu clans would never accept. Especially a clan such as the Zenin clan.
"How do you propose we get rid of someone like that? The boy's strength is capable of standing against Special-Grade cursed spirits, and Satoru Gojo is protecting him," The second higher-up spoke to the third higher-up with a probing tone.
"We could bring back Yuki Tsukumo and order her to kill the boy," The first higher-up spoke, only for the others to immediately dismiss his suggestions.
Yuki Tsukumo would never do as they want. She would almost certainly inform Satoru Gojo about their orders, meaning Satoru Gojo would be aware of their plan.
And they don't plan to let Satoru Gojo gain a good enough reason to finally get rid of them, something they do not want to happen.
"One of my spies had told me that the boy would be going to Tokyo on a trip with the others. That's where the chance for his death will happen," The third higher-up announced with a grin.
He took a breath before continuing.
"We will place a bounty on his head, and then let those bounty hunters do the rest. I am sure they would be tempted by 40 million Yen," The third higher-up finished speaking.
"And we could hire the help of the Zenin clan since they aren't so fond of this new Special Grade either," He continued.
"I second that,"
"I also second that,"
"Me too,"
[At Jujutsu High...]
"Alright, everybody! Let's get this party going on!"
Panda laughed, throwing his hands above his head. Panda wore a Hawaiian t-shirt, with shorts, and a headband on his head, but these were not normal clothes, of course.
Panda wears those clothes because they have barriers imprinted in them, making him look like an average human teenager, as requested by Principal Yaga from Tengen herself.
"I am not gonna lie, Panda. You got that shit on," Akira looked at Panda with amazement, his hand patting his soft back as he walked past him. Panda's ears stiffened, his cheeks turning red as he rubbed the back of his head shyly.
Panda has never really been complimented by others besides Yaga, so hearing a compliment from his new friend made him quite happy inside.
"Salmon,"
Inumaki agreed as he walked past Panda, his hands in his pocket, following after Akira, who was walking towards an SUV. Surprisingly, Gojo allowed them to have the car for the day.
The most surprising thing, however, was the driver himself.
Doooo!
Doooo!
"Get in here before I decide to leave you behind and make you walk all the way to Tokyo!"
Akira looked out of the driver's seat with a grin, tapping the side of the car as he watched Yuka and Maki walk from the gate, wearing fashionable clothes.
Swoosh!
Panda and Inumaki turned into blurs as they sat in the back of the car. Yuka and Maki glared at them since they took the most comfortable seats, leaving the front seat next to Akira and the last seat in the back.
Yuka and Maki came to a stop, their eyes locking with intensity as the seat next to Akira flashed through their mind. Their hands clenched, the air around them turning tense.
"It's for whoever gets their first," Yuka spoke, a grin on her face as she clenched her calves. Her cursed energy surged to her lover's body, the intensity causing the ground to crack under her.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Maki grinned, her body swaying as she turned to the car.
Boom!
Yuka surged out like a rocket, a massive explosion of cursed energy boosting her forward like a missile. Maki did not lose, however, her body breaking through the air, catching up with Yuka.
'Mach Movement!'
Maki chanted in her mind as she used Akira's technique. Maki's body is superhuman even without cursed energy, reaching peak Grade 2 right now without even cursed energy.
This enabled her to use the technique, barely at a fraction of its potential, but nevertheless allowed her to use it.
With Mach Movement, she shot straight up to Grade 1 speed for an instant, surpassing Yuka and reaching the car slightly before Yuka could.
Swoosh!
"I GOT IT!"
Maki screamed victoriously, touching the car door with a finger tip, just before Yuka's fingers touched it an instant later. Yuka looked at Maki, no jealousy on her face as she shrugged.
"Sure, you can take the seat."
"You were trying so hard, I just can't bear to take it from you," Yuka patted Maki on her shoulder, causing her to narrow her eyes at Yuka in confusion.
'Tch! She is planning something, I can feel it...' Maki narrowed her eyes as she opened the car door before quickly sitting inside. Yuka smiled, walking past the car before coming to the driver's seat, confusing everyone in the car.
Click~
Everyone watched as Yuka opened the car door, before sitting in Akira's lap, her soft palm coming to rest on the steering wheel next to Akira's larger, harder hands.
Maki: "...."
Panda: "..."
Inumaki: "...."
Akira: "..."
"Everybody, make sure your straps are on, and let's get going!" Akira shrugged before turning the car on. Yuka smiled, leaning back to rest against Akira's chest, her thighs resting on Akira's own.
"Hehe~," Yuka turned to the side, her smug eyes locking with Maki's annoyed ones. The two locked eyes, staring into each other's souls while Inumaki and Panda watched from the back.
The car was filled with coldness, causing Panda and Inumaki to freeze from the back.
"S-Scary..." Panda muttered, his fur coated in cold sweat.
"Salmon," Inumaki nodded with a sweat drop running down his temple.
An awkward silence filled the car as Akira drove out onto a road leading to Tokyo, which would take a 10-minute drive to arrive.
"Wait a minute... Akira, do you even have a driving licence? And how can you drive?!" Maki suddenly snapped her head to Akira, her eyebrow twitching as she asked.
"Driving license? No, I don't have that," Akira replied nonchalantly, continuing to drive. At the same time, Yuka pretended to drive, her hands on the steering wheel.
"How can you drive then?!" Makia sked again.
"Oh, I watched a YouTube tutorial,"
