First class
In the tranquil embrace of a grassy field beside the school, two figures are about to engaged in a dance of wooden weapons.
The boy, Yuta. his hands steady, expertly wielded a bamboo katana meant for spirited sparring.
Opposite him stood the girl, Maki. armed with a formidable wooden staff, its strength evident in the determined grip of her hands.
Whispers of advantage floated through the air, suggesting the girl's extended reach and the staff's resilient nature.
Yet, the boy remained unfazed, his gaze locked onto his opponent. A confident smile played on his lips, defying the conventional wisdom that should have sparked trepidation.
As the wind gently rustled the grass beneath their feet, the field became a stage for the unspoken tension between the two.
"Are you two ready?" The teacher's voice cut through the anticipation that hung in the air. The two students, their eyes locked in a silent agreement, poised themselves for the imminent clash, awaiting the signal that would unleash their restrained energy upon the grassy arena.
"Remember, no cursed energy and no cursed spirits. I'm talking to you, Yuta, understand?" The teacher emphasized the rule of the spar, and the two students nodded in mutual acknowledgment.
Unspoken understanding passed between them, recognizing the necessity of the rule. Allowing the boy to unleash his cursed spirit would tip the scales. Making the spar to be completely one sided
"Ready? Go!" And the spar begin
Maki quickly sprint towards the boy with her staff, Yuta stood his ground and analyze every movement she make from every step she take to determine where would her first strike be
'Left!' he quickly recognize this stance as she have used them against the cursed spirits last night
Recognizing his lest durable weapons, the only option he have in this situation is to
'Duck!'
Maki swung her staff, she swung directly to his head but he had seen that attack a mile away and ready to duck
'Stab!'
Yuta extended his sword and aim directly at the girl's stomach, intending to stab it with his bamboo Katana but the girl weave away and dodge his stab
Maki did a spin to his right and quickly redirect the force of her staff to make her next attack viable, she swing her staff downward towards the boy's head but he jump forward and dodge her attack
Yuta did a roll and quickly get back into his stance and look straight towards the girl
But the girl was no longer there
"Don't let your eyes off of your opponet!" Maki appear from his side with a stab of her own and Yuta quickly swung his weapon to his side intending to keep her out of reach
"My staff are longer!" She pull back her staff, holding it to the back to extend her reach and swung down at the boy
"Yeah but it's slower" Yuta guard with his bamboo Katana to redirect the force of the staff to the ground and quickly swung it towards Maki
She step back and dodge the attack by an inch but Yuta did not let her get out of his reach considering that her staff have a longer reach than him
He jump at her, creating a deep footstep on the dirt bellow him as he launch himself forward and swung his sword once again to her head
Split!
She fall to the ground while splitting her legs appart to quickly dodge the swing and tried to catch the boy with her legs as she spin them towards the boy
Yuta realizing what she is trying to do, jumped and dodge her leg lock but she quickly turn it into an upper kick as she aimed at his body on the air
"Heh!" Yuta seeing it tried to do a drop kick of his own and quickly extended his legs towards the girl's leg
She got pushed to the ground while Yuta got flunged away to the air
He landed perfectly
"Damn, i thought it will be easier" Yuta said after the whole time being forced to defence against her attack
"And what do you mean by that?" Maki can't let his disrespectfull comment away and ask for his intention
"Nothing, just that i never met anyone that can match my pyhsical strength, no offence panda but your body are made ouf ot cotton" Yuta explained to the girl while apologizing to Panda for catching strays
"Anyway this sword is more of a liability than a weapon so, i am gonna fight barehanded now" Yuta throw away his bamboo sword, leaving the girl more and more annoyed by his disrespectfull manner towards this fight
"Take me seriously!" She charge towards him again, her staff ready to hit him on his side.
"I am" he hold his left hand to his side, blocking the attack from her staff while he extend his right hand to her face and thrust it forward making her step back and take the thrust full force with her face
"Have you ever heard of dual tempo? With a weapon like a staff your one tempo is slower than my one tempo with a katana
But without my katana, your one tempo will never be able to match my dual tempo while being barehanded
Though it has it's own disadvantage, one of them being my hand that got struck by your staff" Yuta explained as he show her his left hand that have a bright red marks as he used it to block the wooden staff
"But that disadvantage can be nullified with cursed energy, so if we are allowed to fight with cursed energy, me being barehanded is the equivelant of me fighting with hammers on both of my hands but still remain as fast
So with all of this disadvantage on me there is only one thing i can do" Yuta pull up his hands, Maki hold her staff tighter making sure that she will be able to deal with anything that Yuta will pull against her
"I give up"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come on~ cheer up, you won after all~"
"Get away from me" on the grass field a boy and a girl are sitting side by side, watching their teammates spar bare handed
the boy keep on trying to annoy her and she try to get him away numerous time but he keep coming back
"Why are you so grumpy, you won" the boy said
"I won against a boy that specialized in curse manipulation that can't even use his curse energy or cursed spirit. That's not a win for me" the girl grumply replied as she hug her legs
"Who said i am specialized in curse manipulation?" The boy suddenly asked and she look at him seeing his face genuinely confused
"Aren't you?" She asked
"No, i let Rika fight most of the time because i am not gonna waste my breath fighting weak curses" he simply replied and and slump back to the grass while looking up to the cloud
"So you are saying you are stronger than Rika?" The girl asked
"Hmm... Stronger as in physical? Probably if i am allowed to use reinforcement with my CE,
But my cursed technique is what gives me a bigger advantage on her" he replied and close his eyes trying to get a rest
"Your cursed technique?"
"Yup"
"What is your cursed technique?" She asked and the boy smiled deviously at her
"Wouldn't you like to know~ wheather boy~" he pull a meme refrence at her and she slap him on the head
"Ahaha, but seriously my cursed technique is far too OP, if i tell you what it is you will get even more grumpy" Maki clicked her tongue again and decide to just ignore the boy as he tried to fall asleep
"Yo is Yuta asleep?" Panda and Inumaki has finished sparring and they got back to their classmate only to find Yuta sleeping on the grass
"No" Yuta replied while still closing his eyes
"Senseei! What are you calling me for?" Suddenly from the top of the hill a boy with a tan skin and dark blonde hair appear.
The boy look muscular, his muscle line can be seen clearly through his black uniform and beside him is a girl
She have a long black hair that reach her neck, her lower lips are pierced and also she is wearing a black collar with spike on her neck and a bracelet with the same style on each of her hand
This is the second year students, Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi
"Yo Kinji! Right on time, come here for a sec i am gonna need you to fight someone" Gojo call out to the newly arrived students and they both walk towards the middle of the field
"You too Yuta, come here" the boy attempt of napping was forcefully stopped by Gojo as he decide that Yuta needs to do something on there
"Fineee" Yuta begrudgingly comply
All of the first year student also follow Yuta towards the middle ground to meet their senpai
"What is it Sensei? Who am i gonna fight?" Hakari said as he look at the group of first year aproaching them
"You are going to fight Yuta, he is a special grade so try your best okay?" Hakari widen his eyes and look at his teacher in disbelief
"Special grade?"
"Special grade"
"Like you?"
"Like me"
"I don't believe you" Hakari shake his head slightly as he still can't believe someone can be a special grade like his sensei while still being a first year
He himself are grade 1 or maybe semi special grade. for those who don't know they might think that semi-special grade and special grade are not too far off but they couldn't be farther from the truth
A special grade are called special grade because there is no scale to measure their power
If we were to put it in a rank, grade 4 and 3 is average sorcerer, grade 2 and 1 is a strong sorcerer
Semi special grade are considerd an elite sorcerer that only few in this world can take them
While special grade is anywhere between a nuclear bomb and a god, there simply is no scale to actually measure them so they were all put in the same basket
But the question remain,
Where does Yuta stand on that scale?
"I am here sensei, what do you want?" Yuta finally reach his teacher and ask what's going on
"Yuta my boy~ here this is your senpai from second year, Kinji Hakari" Gojo quickly introduce Yuta to the second year student standing beside him and they both look at each other assessing each other
""Nice bod"" they both said at the same time aknowledging each other muscles
"How would you know that? I am wearing a baggy clothes" Yuta said after hearing Hakari's compliment
"I just know" Hakari replied and Yuta shrug his shoulder
"And this is Kirara Hoshi, his um..... Girl? Friend? Idk who cares sh– 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 is your senpai too" Gojo sensei tried to introduce the girl but she really need to introduce herself or else Gojo will get canceled
"Okay, so what are we doing here?" Yuta asked the white haired sensei and he responded with a smile
"You two are going to fight" he said while pointing at Hakari and Yuta
"Wait isn't this unfair? He is a second year" Panda asked the teacher
"Yes but Yuta is a special grade so, i think that rank is enough to bridge the gap there" Gojo said
"So i am allowed to use Rika?" Yuta asked
"Nope, that'll be too unfair for Hakari here so you need to fight him by yourself,
But Hakari will also get a handicap as he is not allowed to use his domain" Gojo explained and Hakari look at his sensei in shock
"I am not allowed to use my domain?" He asked
"Yup"
"Then how the hell am i gonna beat him? You just said he is a special grade"
"This is not a fight to the death, i am just trying to gauge where Yuta's ability in hand to hand combat lies and the only person i can think of that can match him is you,
So this spar will be purely hand to hand combat, you are allowed to use your cursed energy as you will and even use cursed technique if you have some
Now let's all get into postion, the other weaklings please stand back as to not be collateral" and with that last line, everyone leave the premise except for the two young men
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩 "hmm.. Ah~ been a long time since i even bother to use reinforcement" Yuta said as he streched his arms upwards and try to loosed his muscle
"Aha– yeah same man, none of my classmate can satisfy me in a fight so i always need to give them handicap" Hakari take off his jacket and streched his neck while preparing for the fight
Although Hakari looks calm, inside he is sweating
'What Is This Ridiculous Curse Energy?!' As a sorcerer himself, he can sense someone curse energy level and right now what stood infront him can only be a describe as ten special grade spirit smushed together into one
'this is just ridiculous, how can someone have this much cursed energy naturally?' Hakari thought as he can clearly see the cursed energy in Yuta, reinforcing every part of his body and making it stronger by the second
Usually when sorcerer use reinforcement, they are not constantly reinforcing every part of their body and only do so on the point of contact to preserve their cursed energy
But Yuta don't even need to perserve his cursed energy and just use them all on reinforcement as he knows that he have much to spare
"Oh no, this is the first time i spar with humans, i usually just punch my way out of every curse i see or just tell Rika to beat them for me"
"Rika?"
"My curse spirit"
"Ah.. gotcha"
They both do a little warm up as they regulate their cursed energy around their body and get a good feel for their fight
"Are you both ready?" Gojo said from afar as to not be a hindrace for their fights
"3" Yuta cracked his neck, preparing for the battle as he keep pumping a ridiculous ammount of curse energy to his body
"2" Hakari locked in, he put up to his stance preparing for any sudden attack Yuta might do to get advantage
"1" they look at each other, the tension grew thicker as they stare at each other's eyes from afar
"Fight!"
~~~~~~~~~ To be continued ~~~~~~~~~
And cliffhanger! How is it? What do you think their fight is gonna be like?
Well i am betting on Yuta because he have 2-3 more years of experience than the original Yuta while Hakari have 1 less experience than the original Hakari
Granted, those 5 years are only spend on training by himself and the occasional cursed spirits but they are still nowhere near as much pressure as Sukuna or Kenjaku
3 months of fighting Sukuna is like, 20 years of self training maybe
