Kinji Hakari flew down, landing on the ground with a loud bang! Both his feet crashed down; cursed energy surged from him!
BOOMMM!!!
"Eh, bastard, why did you start running away, eh? Did you get scared or what?" Hakari spoke in an annoyed tone; his shirt was clearly ripped, and he was shirtless with a few brush marks on his chest…
Todo fell down from a tree…
Landing on the ground on both of his feet and cracking his neck...
"Shut up; I was not running from you, just changing the battlefield," Todo spoke in an annoyed tone back at Hakari!
Ren, on the other hand, stood calmly with Maki in his hands!
Ren thought, "What the hell is going on? Hakari?? But Hakari only appears in a much later part of the JJK story...
But it kind of makes sense. When Hakari was expelled from Jujutsu High, he should have been in his 3rd year, but right now, if I think I know the timeline right, Hakari should be in his 2nd year and get expelled some time at the start of next year, so the timeline kind of works out? but still, what are the chances of running in with Hakari and Todo..."
Ren stood straight up and put Maki down slowly...
Maki thought, "What the hell has been going on? Everything moved way too fast, but I was barely able to see it... their movements... First of all, why does Ren have bandages? Also, why was he getting beaten up at the start when he was fighting that todo... but then suddenly Ren started to try? I don't know, but then I switch places, and then...
I was not helping..."
"Eh? Who are these two? your friends? Or are you trying to jump me? You rat! I thought you were a real homie! Are you into this jumping shit?! " Hakari spoke in an amused tone as he pointed dramatically at Todo!
Todo's eyes grew wide open; he spoke in an offended tone. "What do you mean, 'rat'?! These two are your teammates, dumbass!" That's Ren Sato, and I am pretty sure that's like Maki. How do you not even know your own teammates?! But I do?"
Hakari looked shocked!
"WHAT? That's Ren Sato?" Hakari spoke with pure shock on his face...
Todo smiled and thought, "How funny – he does not even know his own teammates. Hehe, that's good. Having 3 people I can use boogie woogie on makes things easier... but... that Ren Sato... he is the real deal...
When that idiot fell down and smashed into the ground, Ren threw me away with that... red stuff? What is that? his cursed technique? If Hakari had not come at the moment he came, I might have been done for..." Todo giggled with a twisted smile on his face!
"Ugh, so you are him, eh? You don't look as tough as they say you are... I will have fun killing you! REN SATO!" Hakari screamed!
Todo's eyes grew wide open! "What the fuck, oi? He is supposed to be your teammate!" Todo spoke, but Hakari didn't even hear; he rushed ahead!
Hakari moved fast and threw a punch at Ren's face!
Ren's thoughts ran fast. "What the fuck did I do?! Why is he after me? Wait, why was Todo after me? What the fuck did I do?! To you, this is the first time we are meeting! Fuck, I can't dodge. Maki is next to me. Normally I would be able to move with Maki, but... I am not fully used to my new red stitch yet! So...
I have to block it!"
Ren moved both of his hands up and caught Hakari's fist with both of his hands!
Whoosh!
Ren was pushed back... with his palm bleeding...
"Ugh... even though I blocked it, I still got hurt... that must be his Cursed EnergyTrait...
Fuck, I forgot about it... ok, no blocking his attacks either... then what? I can't fight while trying to protect Maki because the way Hakari just threw a punch at me, I don't think Maki would have taken that hit without getting greatly wounded...
I can't run. Todo is here... I can't block... I can't dodge... So what? I guess I will just go on the offensive! destroy Hakari before he can use his domain, and just avoid Todo..." Ren thought fast, but just then a voice rang out...
"I forfeit!" Maki spoke loudly! and threw the katana she had in her hand to Ren, and Ren caught it...
Maki thought. "I can't help... against Todo I can't help... against this new guy... everyone is stronger than me... I can barely see their movements... if I stay I will just get in Ren's way... Ah, goddamn it!" Maki sat down cross-legged... and gritted her teeth...
"Eh??? What is going on here?! Nothing makes sense. Why are you forfeiting, Maki?!" Todo spoke in a shocked tone!
"Ha, I don't really need to keep fighting. Ren is here; he should be enough to beat both of your guys' asses!" Maki crossed her hands in front of her as she spoke in an amused tone, and Hakari looked back at Maki with a big frown on his face!
'What? Is she encouraging both of them to jump me? Maki, what the fuck?
Is this some sort of twisted get-back because of the 'whole mei mei' thing?! You are supposed to be my teammate; don't let these two jump me!' Ren thought as his eyes twitched…
But Ren started to smile as he thought, "Well, it's either that or you're just trying to stay out of my way… which would be interesting because that means you actually believe that I can take on both of them…'
"Ha, you're stupid, Maki!" Ren spoke in an amused tone.
"Huh? I heard that, Ren! Why are you calling me stupid? You're stupid, idiot!" Maki pointed at Ren and grunted!
'Even I myself have doubts if I can beat both Hakari and Todo at the same time… but that stupid girl believes I can?' 'Ha, how annoying! Now I have to win!' Ren threw with a wide, almost wildly smile on his face.
It had been a while since Ren Sato had smiled; in fact, this was the first time in a long time he had smiled wildly like this. The last time he smiled like this was when he had manipulated Mei Mei…
"What are you two waiting for? You going to hold hands first? Come at me!"
Ren raised the katana one-handed, holding it before his face. His lower half vanished behind the blade. A smile flashed briefly in the reflection.
Ren had found meaning…
"Maki Zenin eliminated!"
