37 Chapter 34- Game Begins

After Gido's defeat, he was brought back to his room and soon, the other two guys visited him.

"How could she have win? We all thought she was a non user..." Sadaso muttered.

"She was playing with us. Damn it, I got utterly humiliated.." Gido said, laying on bed and being totally unable to move due to his broken bones. At least, his prosthesis leg was not broken, not that it mattered much since the rest of his body wasn't so lucky.

"Relax, let us find out more about her. Maybe we can do something to make her pay. We're going to rack up our wins no matter what we have to do." Sadaso said.

"That's right, maybe we can find her weakness and use it against her." Riehlvelt agreed.

---------------

After dinner, Sachiko went back to her house with Killua and Gon. Once she got home, she told Killua and Gon to train on their own before going to her room.

It was time to go to Jujutsu Kaisen world again since it has been about a week. Sachiko looked forward to enjoying the modern Japan and improve her cursed techniques.

So, as usual, she closed her eyes and went to Jujutsu kaisen world. When she opened her eyes, she was in the hotel room she stayed last week.

"Well, let's start by training Nullify a little bit coz I didn't get to level it up last time." Sachiko muttered. This time, she was thinking about going a more ridiculous and effective approach by using the cursed technique to actually nullify harmful substances and see what she could do.

She decided to start off with simple and less harmful substances like smoke and laughing gas.

"But, I'm at a hotel now so I doubt I could use lots of smoke...Laughing gas it is then.."

With a new direction in mind, Sachiko went ahead and bought a lot of balloons containing laughing gas. Then, she started testing out her Nullify while she inhaled the laughing gas from the balloons.

It didn't take long for her to get the hang of nullifying the effects of the laughing gas so Sachiko was now sure that her cursed technique was not solely limited to nullfiying other cursed techniques. Now that it can also cancel out other harmful sustances, Sachiko knew she could use it for other purposes now.

"This is great news. With this, I can transmute my aura into pretty much anything as long as I build much familiarity with it. That can also be solved by actively getting used to it while using nullify to cancel out actual bad effects to my body." Sachiko muttered, satisfied with this new information.

She even started thinking about what kind of property she wanted to transmute her aura into.

The first that came to her mind was Carbon monoxide. It was called a silent killer, Sachiko thought the name was cool and the whole idea sounded really fun.

Then, there was the laughing gas which she could use to kind of troll people but she didn't think it would have much effect on skilled nen users. She could probably adjust some things and properties if she wanted so she didn't dismiss it.

Sachiko also thought about flames because they look cool and practical. Not to mention it would be so unique since there shouldn't be people transmuting their aura into flames as they would get burnt to death if they tried. So, Sachiko loved the idea of the uniqueness.

Since she was not in a hurry to develop nen abilities, she decided to focus on levelling up nullify as much as she could during her stay in Jujutsu Kaisen world.

Two days passed rather quietly and peacefully and Sachiko managed to nullify the effects of laughing gas and smoke successfully. She even started to nullify more harmful gases and substances and was more successful with it.

She decided to start the process for buying a house as well so that she could train more peacefully while she was in Jujutsu Kaisen world as well.

-------------------

Gojo Satoru was thinking about his future steps. Now that he had confirmed that Sachiko was not actually associated with Suguru or helping him, he decided to let her be for a while.

Based on what he had seen with Six Eyes, Sachiko didn't have astonishingly high amount of cursed energy but for some reason, he felt that there was more to her than the cursed energy amount. Besides, it was as if she was using more than just cursed energy when she was fighting Suguru.

He couldn't pinpoint what exactly that was, but he felt like he had to find that out.

So, he decided to go find her later that day and tell her the condition of the woman named Misaki.

This time, after chatting with her for a while, he felt a sense of familiarity, which was strange because he would've been able to recall her if he had met her before.

Anyways, he continued chatting with her for a while then he took her to the hosiptal Misaki was in.

He walked beside her and he had to admit it was a surprisingly pleasant walk. He played around a little and even called her "cupcake", a nickname he didn't know where it came from. It just felt fitting calling her a sweet-related nickname at that moment.

Next day, he had to go back to Tokyo, which sucked because he would like to find out a bit more about her and keep an eye on her a bit more. Still, he took a mental note to investigate later.

Now that he had seen her, he was sure he could recognize that cursed energy and presence anywhere.

-–------------------

Sachiko went back to Hxh world once three days were up and once she was back, she decided to check on the three idiots from 200th floor. Since she beated one of them up and tricked them, they should be pretty furious. So, Sachiko felt like she should do see that personally.

Sachiko headed to Heavens Arena and did some information gathering to find out where the idiots were and soon, she was in front of the room of idiot she fought.

She knocked on the door until another idiot with one missing arm opened the door.

"You..what do you want?" He asked, he looked like he was quite angry.

Sachiko mustered up a friendly smile as she absorbed all of the negative emotions those idiots were emitting. It was working really well to replenish her cursed energy so Sachiko took a note to do this more often.

"Hi, I was just checking up on Godo san." She said with the smile.

The idiot was not amused and replied, "His name is Gido."

"Oops, my bad. Anyways, I was wondering if he was really that injured. I was holding back pretty much so I wasn't really sure, haha."

"So you're here to mock us even further. Don't get too cocky just because you won one match.."

Sachiko smiled even further at that, "If you guys want, I can entertain you guys too. Come on, I heard that if you win ten matches, you get to challenge a floor master. Racking up two more wins would be good for me. You know?"

The three got angry at that so Sachiko was even happier.

"Why are you guys angry? Isn't it what you guys usually do? Or are you guys upset that the tables have been turned?" Sachiko asked with a chuckle. This is getting really good.

When the guys are finally silent at her offer to fight them, Sachiko was a little disappointed. After all, two free wins would have been great for her.

Nevertheless, she was pretty content with their reactions and talking shit to them.

'And if I really want to fight them, I guess I can pull some strings..' Sachiko thought to herself. She recalled what the three did to force Killua and Gon fight them and an idea sparked. 'Wait..I can do that..'

With a new idea, Sachiko went back and made some arrangements. After this encounter, she was sure that the three idiots would try to gather information about her for revenge. So, Sachiko decided to make them find out what she wanted them to.

As Sachiko expected, Gido, Sadaso and Riehlvelt gathered information about Sachiko.

They found out three main things.

Firstly, she has a brother named Killua who recently got nen.

Secondly, her brother has a friend, Gon who also just got nen.

Thirdly, she cared about them very deeply and would do anything for them.

"I will make you regret, Sachiko Nakamura.." Gido swore.

------------------

Meanwhile, Sachiko headed back to her house and while she was on the way back, she called Killua and Gon to wait for her in their classroom.

Once she was back, she saw Killua and Gon playing in the classroom.

"Oh, you're back." Killua said as soon as he caught sight of Sachiko walking into the room.

"Sachiko san!" Gon greeted him cheerfully.

"Is there anything important?" Killua asked.

"Yeah, actually." Sachiko said with a nod. "I've got a very fun idea and want you guys to help me."

Killua's ears perked up in interest. "Oh, tell me about it."

"So..you guys know the idiot I just beated up, right?" She started.

Killua, of course, replied, "You mean the idiot you traumatized?"

"Yeah! That idiot!" Sachiko confirmed with an upbeat voice. "He has two friends and apparently, they are kinda famous for targetting newcomers on 200th floor. They give nen initiations and stuff, you know."

"So..you are telling us they are the people you warned us about." Killua stated.

"Yep." Sachiko even clapped for a sound effect after her sentence.

Killua sighed and shook his head lightly before asking, "And what do you even need help for? As of now, it rather sounds like an annoying thing."

"I'm curious too. Sachiko san, you are clearly stronger than them, right? Why do you need our help?" Gon asked.

"That's correct, Gon. But, you see..I'm planning a very fun game to play. They seem to want to get back at me by targetting you guys so I'm thinking maybe you guys can pretend to get kidnapped?" Sachiko expressed her idea.

Her first step of the plan was simple, Gon and Killua who Gido and others perceive as her weakness would be in their hands, making them believe they now hold the power and had the upperhand.

However, Sachiko also knew that it was nearly impossible for Gido and the other two to kidnap Killua and Gon againsrlt their will. Hence, Sachiko was here to persuade them into participating in her fun game by getting themselves be kidnapped.

"You want us to get kidnapped?" Killua repeated what Sachiko said. Normally, people wouldn't want their family and close friends to get kidnapped, right?

"Sachiko san..that is.." Even Gon was a bit hesitant.

Sachiko noticed their confusion and hesitation so she smiled as if it was natural and said, "Of course, I know you guys are not weak enough to get kidnapped like that. But, I also know they're going to try it either way so why don't we make this a very fun, exciting experience for us instead?"

"Since when did getting kidnapped become a fun experience?" Killua retorted even though he was starting to think the idea was interesting and could be entertaining.

"Of course, it's fun when you know those idiots are getting the wrong idea and you are actually playing with them. Imagine what they would feel when they realize they never had the upperhand and all the things they thought they did was all because we were letting them. Imagine the shock and emotional damage they would suffer from realization of having accomplished nothing." Sachiko whispered to Killua.

"You are twisted, eyepatch lady." Killua commented. However, he had a smile on his face as he was now excited to see what Sachiko told him.

"Only to the enemies." Sachiko said with a smile.

"Yeah, Sachiko san's not a bad person, Killua." Gon said innocently.

Sachiko smiled further at that, "See?"

But, Sachiko could see how Gon has that biased view for the world. He looked the world through his curiosity and didn't really seem to care what is right or wrong.

'It really can be dangerous tho. Despite his innocent look, he can quite be crazy dangerous.' Sachiko thought. 'But, well, I believe I'm not much better than him. I don't care about those things either. Maybe I'm even worse?'

"So, what would we do after getting kidnapped?" Killua asked, taking Sachiko out of her train of thought.

"Just chill, to be honest. When you get my signal, you guys can attempt to break free and entertain yourself however you want." Sachiko said. If she wanted Killua to cooperate, she knew it was important to give him a sense of freedom and autonomy, especially because he had just started to break free from Illumi's control.

"So, you're saying all I need to do is to get kidnapped and stay like that until you gave signal to do what I want?" Killua confirmed, his eyes sparking in interest.

"Yeah, basically that." Sachiko confirmed again and when she saw Killua's cat smirk, she knew she got Killua on her side.

"So, what about you, Gon? It's totally okay if you don't want to." Sachiko started. "I know this all sounds a bit dangerous and risky but I have my methods to ensure we don't take risks we can't handle." She added. While she was planning a whole game with Gido and others, Sachiko wasn't really planning to get them into actual danger because some people had beef with her. And, she felt like establishing this point would be better for the group dynamic as well.

Sachiko watched as Gon's hesitation lessened and Killua's eyes soften a bit, which could have gone unnoticed if she wasn't looking for any changes carefully.

Sachiko decided to continue with her persuasion, "But, I really won't force you. Although this can also be a great opportunity to see what you can do with your strength. Surely, you need to start off by tricking them into thinking they kidnapped you but after the signal, I'm sure you can have like a confrontation to test out your strength. I mean...this is a chance for you to see what nen users are capable of." Sachiko said.

She knew Gon had a thirst for challenge and soon, his leftover hesitation was replaced by determination.

'Success!' Sachiko was celebrating in her mind.

"Great! So, to let the guys come up with an easier plan, you guys need to get to 200th floor soon. Then, keep an eye out for potential traps by them and intentionally fall into them, okay?" Sachiko instructed them.

"Fall into traps?" Killua repeated.

Sachiko assured Killua with a smile, "Hey, don't worry. Those guys can't actually harm you. I won't let them."

Killua paused for a moment but then he looked at her, and finally said, "Alright, you better not be tricking me.."

"Come on, we're on the same team here. And why would you think that?!" Sachiko made a dramatic exclamation as if she was wrongly accused.

"Maybe it was the fact that you are plotting someone's demise in a twisted way." Killua pointed out.

"A fun way!"

"I'm sure Gido san and others won't think so.." Gon muttered. "But, they are bad people so it's okay." In Gon's mind, because Gido and his friends were resorting to kidnapping the ones Sachiko feel close to, they were bad people. So, he didn't really feel that Sachiko's plan was a twisted one.

"Yeah, yeah.." Killua said, then he turned to Sachiko, "Seriously tho..you look like you'd throw people under the bus intentionally if that means you get a laugh out of it."

"No, I don't.." Sachiko tried to deny but Killua was not having any.

Gon was laughing at their somewhat dramatic banter. He was glad Sachiko san was taking care of them and guiding them. He could see Killua was happy with his current life and that made him think Sachiko san was truly an amazing person.
