Chapter Twelve.

-Kaito POV-

"That was impressive."

Akira pointed out while Shoko was healing my cheek.

"Sorcerer Jesus, huh?"

I rose an eyebrow at him, watching as he chuckled and just shook his head.

"Nobody has touched him when he has his infinity activated, that was a good strategy."

I shrugged as my cheek healed fully.

"Good job."

She said simply as she stood up from crouching and walked over to Gojo, who was pouting on the side while Geto tried to console him.

"Thanks."

I muttered, lying down on the ground and looking up at the sky. My eyes narrowed, that went surprisingly well, but I doubt that he would fall for it again. He also did not use that blue orb that sucked everything in. Most likely because he did not get the chance to.

I sighed, putting a hand over my eyes as I started thinking.

"Why are you so... unhappy? Be excited, you just beat one of the strongest sorcerers."

I moved my hand away and raised an eyebrow at Akira, wondering if he was serious.

"He underestimated me, that's why I won... and let's be honest, the control of his technique could be better... Now, let's get back to that "Simple Domain" explanation."

He just sighed and sat down next to me, letting out a thoughtful hum while putting his head in his palm.

"Okay, let's do this my way... Imagine a simple paper... Nevermind."

He reached into his pocket and took out a small sketchbook, ripping out a paper and presenting it to me.

"Now, this is you."

He took out a pencil from somewhere and drew a stick figure on it, causing me to blink at the drawing.

"And this is what happens when you put up a simple domain."

He drew a circle around the stick figure...

"And this is what you do for it to work."

He drew some squiggly lines coming from the stick figure's legs.

"I see."

He deadpanned at me, crumbling up the paper and shoving it in his pocket.

"No, you don't."

I sighed and stood up, shoving my hands in my pockets.

"Any vending machines here? I need a drink."

He just looked at me for a moment and groaned.

"At the entrance of the school."

I groaned too, I wasn't about to go all the way over there.

Instead of just going to buy water, I collected it from the atmosphere and drank it like it was normal.

Looking around, I observed for a moment and couldn't help but point out.

"Nobody here uses weapons."

Akira just shrugged as he stood up too.

"Nobody really needs to, considering everyone's cursed technique."

I sighed and looked down at my feet for a moment, thinking.

"Alright, can you put up a simple domain?"

He shrugged and crouched down and I felt cursed energy spread from his feet... But that was not important, I was looking at him like he was an idiot.

"What are you doing?"

He looked up at me with a raised eyebrow, not understanding what I was asking.

"What do you mean?"

I thought about it for a moment, thinking of a good way to word the sentence.

"Why are you crouching like a gangster... like someone who just got told no after they proposed and is about to throw a mind-blowing uppercut?"

He deadpanned at me and snorted, rolling back and lying on the ground while chuckling.

"That's a good comparison."

I smirked but that did get me wondering.

"So, is that pose just the activation thing, or do you have to be like that constantly for it to work?"

He looked up at me with a raised eyebrow and shrugged.

"It's a good position for quick movement with explosiveness because if you're legs move from the point where the simple domain originated from, it will collapse."

That was the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Sighing, I rubbed the bridge of my nose and looked up at the sky.

"That's dumb... like really dumb..."

He chuckled and I started thinking of a workaround, which would most likely not succeed but the thought was still there.

I felt the other three walk toward us and looked over, Gojo was upset, Geto was amused and Shoko was chuckling while patting the white-haired teen's shoulder consolingly.

"Good fight..."

Gojo muttered and I smirked, extending a hand for a handshake. He looked at it for a moment and sighed, but a smirk still played on his lips as he clasped my hand in a handshake.

"Your technique is bullshit."

He raised an eyebrow.

"And you're usage of yours is bullshit... I only figured out what you did after the fight."
