As Naoya heard his own name, he got up from his seat and started walking towards the ground.
He locked eyes with Megumi, who was leaving, and for some reason, Megumi was looking at him like he was some bug crawling around.
Making Naoya pop a vein over being looked at like that, especially by the potential man himself.
Still, he knew better than to provoke him. After all, he might summon Mahoraga on him otherwise.
As Maki also reached the empty ground, Megumi offered her words of encouragement, likely telling him to kick his ass.
But Naoya was distracted by the weapon rack lying near the ground.
It seemed that the faculty offered students training weapons.
Looking at the wide variety of weapons, Naoya felt spoilt for choice.
Considering he was in the body of Naoya 'pillow hands' Zenin.
There was no way he was going to fight empty-handed.
Maki had already taken a long wooden spear as her weapon of choice and was waiting for him.
Unable to decide, he just picked up a short sword.
Thinking it would be easy to use.
"You started using weapons?"
Maki asked, genuinely bewildered at her trash cousin actually picking up a weapon despite not doing so for years despite everyone telling him to because of his pride.
"Tell me something, Maki, are we in the kitchen right now?"
...
No one spoke at the absurd words of Naoya, except for Maki, who in a fit of rage charged at him with her spear without even waiting for the countdown.
Unfortunately for her, she was up against Naoya.
Activating projection sorcery.
His senses heightened as a second split into 12 frames for him.
Making it look like Maki was moving in slow motion.
'bingo'
As expected, Maki was easy to enrage making her predictable and barbaric.
With his cursed technique, by the time Maki swung her spear at him, he was gone.
Looking around confused, Maki tried to find Naoya until a voice came from behind her.
"Rushing in headfirst like a barbaric women without a brain – how fitting."
Naoya now standing in the spot Maki had been at the start of the match,he teased with a grin that would make anyone want to punch his face in.
Using his cursed technique.Naoya appeared in front of Maki, but before she could react. He touched her, trapping her in a frame, rendering her unable to move.
"You know whoever approved of you to become a grade 4 sorcerer needs to be fired"
He said before shoving his wooden sword in her stomach, breaking the frame and making her spill blood before being launched away.
But, while she was still in the air, he reached her, and before she could react, touched her again, trapping her in another frame.
"I guess if you really want to be a sorcerer, being the kind cousin I am, I could propose the concept of a grade 5 sorcerer for filthy monkeys who act based on emotions instead of their brains"
As he slammed into the ground with his sword, breaking her frame and ribs.
Crash~
Crashing into the ground, Maki winced in pain and tried to get up, but before she could. Naoya was standing above her like a demon that had been summoned by an unsuspecting child for some candy.
Trapping her in another frame.
He looked down on her in disgust as he whispered.
"I'm going to put some dirt in your eyes"
Grabbing her by the hair as he broke the frame and slammed her head face down in the ground.
Before using his projection sorcery to the fullest to run with Maki's body dragging across the ground as her glasses broke.
The broken frame pieces got into her eyes, damaging them as she was blinded.
Maki tried to scream but was trapped in another frame.
If the other jujutsu high students could see the fights, they would've jumped in and tried to kill him already.
But everything that had happened so far had happened in under a minute.
Even at 12 frames, Naoya was second only to Naobito, the world's fastest sorcerer.
It was beyond what most of the current students could handle.
Not to mention, for most of the fight, Maki was stuck in frames, rendering the others unable to see her condition.
Naoya didn't know this yet, but he hadn't taken over Naoya's body but rather merged fully with him.
Making the lingering feelings and emotions of the original Naoya mix with his own, rendering him unable to tell his own thoughts from Naoya's.
This is without mentioning that for some reason beyond just standard hate for women that the original Naoya had, there was something deeper.
More intense and primal than Naoya felt when looking at Maki, Mai and Megumi.
Not wasting another moment before the others could react, Naoya broke the frame trapping Maki and sent her flying in the air and appeared above her with his sword ready to strike her down.
He wasn't sure if she would survive this, but he honestly didn't care.
Right now, he only wanted to make her suffer, but before he could strike her, he was hit by a giant bird with lightning enveloping its wings.
As Naoya was slammed into the ground.
The bird Nue gently carried Maki with Megumi riding his shikigami before he healed her with reverse cursed technique output.
Her wounds slowly started healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Naoya, on the other hand, fell unconscious for a moment before barely regaining consciousness.
He had multiple broken bones, and electricity coursed through his body as he was paralysed.
It was only thanks to him already reinforcing his body with cursed energy that he was even alive, or else he would've died .
Still, there was something he had to do.
As Megumi and Maki landed back on the ground, the bruised, bloodied and blind Maki with multiple broken bones and dirt all over her eyes, slowly regained consciousness and barely started recovering her vision.
Every student in the stand ran towards her in worry, but the only thing she heard was.
Ting~
As a small metallic object landed near her feet.
Her eyes locked with a Naoya who had blood all over his face and looked to be greatly pained and barely standing.
And yet his eyes carried hatred and bloodlust unlike any she had seen before.
She didn't want to admit it,but after what just happened,she was starting to fear him.
However, all such notions were broken by his next words.
"Pick up that knife and make me a damn sandwich, loser."
Thud~
He finally fell as a sound rang in his ears.
Ding~
