Chapter 21 - New friends, and mission

Akira's eyes flickered open as someone pulled the curtains on his windows to the side, allowing the morning light to filter through, landing right on top of his face.

"Uhm..."

Raising his hand as a form of shield, Akira covered his eyes before letting out a deep sigh. The throbbing pain in his shoulder is gone, already healed due to his godly genes.

In fact, the moment his eyes opened, Akira could already feel that his reaction speed and eye coordination had improved slightly from last night's training.

"Akira, you need to wake up since we're meeting our new classmates. come on before I get in there and start tickling you~," 

A sweet voice echoed throughout his room, and Akira grinned as he sat up in bed, wiping the sleepiness out of his eyes. He looked at Yuka appreciatively.

Yuka was in her brand new Jujutsu Sorcerer uniform, standing next to her window, her sleeveless white uniform standing out against the black, long-sleeved undershirt.

"Good morning, Yuka. The uniform looks beautiful on you." Standing on his feet now, Akira did not forget to compliment Yuka on her looks, causing the girl to immediately smile brighter, as if her day was made from a simple compliment.

"Thank you. You look as handsome as usual as well~." Yuka walked closer, leaning forward a bit, bringing her face next to Akira's chest, her eyes locked with his.

"Hmm? But I look like a hobbo who woke up from sleep right now?" Akria looked down at Yuka, his eyebrows raised in confusion, a mirror attached to the wall behind her allowing him to see his reflection.

Messed up hair, a sleepy face, along with a dirty and stinky t-shirt since he was too lazy to change from last night.

"To me, Akira always looks handsome, no matter what!" Yuka refuted immediately, clenching a hand as she looked up at Akira with a confident look, bringing a smile to his face.

Akira chuckled at her words.

Akira reached up, rubbing his palm gently on top of Yuka's head with a soft smile. Yuka closed her eyes in bliss, pushing her head against Akira's palm, seeking the heat from his flesh on her head.

"Yuka, let me change, and then we could go, okay?"

"Y-Yeah!"

[15 minutes later.]

Exiting his dorm room with Yuka following right next to him, Akira wore his new Jujutsu Uniform, given to him by Gojo, along with a slight modification to the traditional uniform.

Akira wore the normal black Jujutsu Uniform pants and his cursed shoes. He wore a tight T-shirt underneath an open uniform jacket, with the usual golden buttons now a deep red.

The two walked in comfortable silence, their hands swinging lazily by their sides. Often, Yuka and Akira's hands brushed against each other, but neither of them pulled back from it.

Soon, the two reached the classroom.

Swish!

Sliding the Japanese door to the side, Akira stepped into the classroom, followed by Yuka. Akira looked around, and his eyes immediately landed on the two new studnets.

Akira's eyes opened in surprise.

"A panda?!" 

"A panda? Where?!"

Yuka looked up in disbelief at Akira's words, only for her eyes to shoot open wide, shining in amazement as she saw a living panda sitting behind a table on a chair.

"So fricking cute!" Yuka squealed as she watched Panda, who smiled shyly while rubbing his head. Panda had only been admitted as a student, so he hadn't been around many humans except for Yaga.

"Ah, just in time, you two! Inumaki and Panda, these two are your seniors! You two already met Maki, so I'll let these two introduce themself," Gojo spoke up, pointing at Akira and Yuka with a grin.

Sitting on a chair sideways, with her legs crossed, causing her knee-length skirt to tighten, outlining her thick, supple thighs, Maki looked up, her eyes connecting with Akira, who was watching her thighs appreciatingly.

Maki clicked her tongue as she looked away, her cheeks slightly red at the blatant gaze on her thighs. Being caught staring, Akira reddened slightly before looking away. 

He took a step forward, coughing lightly as he spoke up.

"My name is Akira Shokotsu, 14 years old, and a Grade 4 Sorcerer at Tokyo High." Akira finished his introduction with a wave of his hand. Panda and Inumaki nodded a thim.

Akira looked back at Yuka, who stepped up next to him to introduce herself.

"My name is Yuka Okkotsu, and I am 15 years old. I am a Special Grade Sorcerer, nice to meet you both!" Akira held back a chuckle at Yuka's humble brag about mentioning her Grade.

"She is a Special Grade sorcerer? Amazing! That means she must be extremely strong!" Panda looked at Yuka with awe, while Inumaki nodded his head with lazy eyes.

"Well, since you two introduced yourselves, then I don't need to say anything else. Today's lesson will continue from where we left off, so sit down and start taking notes!"

Gojo quickly entered teacher mode, his tone serious and strict as he pointed at Akira and Yuka's chairs. The two walked to it and sat down, while Gojo started explaining things.

[2 hours later...]

Lying his head on the desk, Akira looked as if his soul had gotten sucked out and devoured, his eyes hollow from boredom as he listened to Gojo rant about barriers and their functions.

"Oh! Looks like lessons are over for the day. But don't just leave yet, I still have some news for you five," Gojo checked the time on his phone, and he immediately returned to his goofy self.

Akira looked up from the desk to the side at Yuka, who had pushed her table against his. She had a notebook with today's lesson written down in it.

"Akira, and Maki. You two will be going on a Grade Four mission tomorrow. The higher-ups decided it's time you start doing missions~," Gojo spoke, causing Makia and Akira to look up in surprise.

Akira grinned, clenching his hands in excitement. He reached into his pocket, taking out a silver knuckleduster, before sliding it onto his right hand comfortably.

With this cursed tool, he could punch cursed spirits!

Bam!

"Why is Maki going on a mission with Akira?!" Yuka stood up abruptly, slamming her palms on her desk with a frown, glaring at Gojo with annoyance, her finger scratching the desk.

"Maybe it's because I can fight, while you can... Shout support from the sidelines," Looking up with a grin, Maki spoke up with a smug tone, causing Yuka to glare at her with dissatisfaction.

"Your fighting skills might be much better than mine, but it wouldn't do much against me!"

Yuka's words rang true, especially since she took control of her cursed energy. Even though her body was average, she could increase her stats with reinforcement and her massive reserves of cursed energy.

Her reinforcement is more about her output than her cursed energy reserves, which are massive since even Gojo has less cursed energy output than Yuka.

"Tch! Whatever," Maki clicked her tognue before looking away, slightly more annoyed than before.

"Calm down, you two lovebirds. The reason is quite simple, it's because the higher-ups don't want to see two Special Grades on the same missions," Gojo spoke up, cutting through the tensions.

"Special Grades? Akira, does that mean you have Special Grade power?" Panda looked at Akira sitting next to him with surprise before asking curiously.

Inumaki looked up at Akira silently, curious for his answer as well.

"I guess I'm a Special Grade sorcerer in strength, but due to my lack of cursed energy, I was given a Grade 4 card," Akira shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Panda. He didn't really care about his Grade.

He knows he is powerful; there is no need for a card to tell him that he is awesome.

Yuka sat down in her chair, her eyes locked onto Akira beside her with an intensity and a slight warning in her beautiful eyes. Akira just sat quietly, with an awkward drop of sweat on his temple. 

Yuka crossed her slender fingers before resting her chin on them, a depressing aura around her.

"Man, Yuka is scary when angry..." Panda shivered, feeling Yuka's cursed energy radiating out uncontrollably. Inumaki nodded his trembling head, the tension pressing down on him.

"S-Salmon!"
