Death isn’t kind

The droplets of water, one after another, fell from the loss nozzle.

Kuroi stood behind Noah, he stared nowhere particularly with a small smile on his face.

His eyes slightly narrowed as he sensed the presence of two people, quite a familiar presence in fact.

"I'm all alone in this place, weak and useless, I wonder if assassins will attack me? What do you think, Misato?"

"..." She stared at Noah's face, not knowing how to answer his question.

Obviously, no one was going to fall for such a trick let alone assassins from the Zoldyck Family.

"Hm? Why are you not answering? Are you feeling unwell?" Staring at Kuroi, Noah questioned worriedly. "Ah. I guess a second away from your sweetheart makes it hard for you to not get worried."

"I don't have a sweetheart!" Misato felt her blood boiling, staring at Noah's teasing smile. "Why would I like that bang guy?"

"I never talked about Geto though. The fact that you thought about Geto first means…" Noah stopped talking before he turned around, staring at the confetti that had filled the room completely.

He was still quite wary of touching them since he still didn't know if the abilities had remained the same as they were in the anime.

It could be that Kalluto's abilities have a completely different effect than what it had in Hunter x Hunter.

This prompted him to take everything as if he had no idea it ever existed.

"Make sure you don't touch that confetti, okay?" Noah said in a hushed voice. "I don't want Geto to get mad at me for letting his future wife be wounded."

"..." Misato felt like her head was hurting since at one point she thought Noah cared for her and the other second he broke that kind gentleman image by bringing Geto.

'And I have this infinite urge to punch him, I wonder why…'

The confetti that surrounded Noah from all directions started to swirl around them, creating a small tornado with Noah and Misato as the center.

'Assuming that they have different abilities than what they had in anime, it is better to stay away from even a single confetti.'

He internally thought, his hands tucked into his shorts as he stared at the confetti surrounding them.

'But dodging all of them would be impossible (I don't have a cheat like Gojo after all), so the best approach would be to capture Kalluto before he can execute his Curse Technique.'

Thinking such, he raised his hand towards the wall where he could feel the presence of Kalluto and softly muttered.

<<Silence Shock Wave>>

Merging the spell <<Silence>> with <<Shock Wave>>, Noah was able to create an invisible attack with no sound or anything.

In fact, even after it hits the target, no sound will be produced due to the spell <<Silence>> at work.

The air started to bend and distort before the concrete wall, in the direction where he pointed his hand at, burst and exploded, revealing the three-year-old girly looking… no, she was a girl no matter how one looked at her.

'Anime world and its shitty traps… making my dick confused.'

Of course it was not directed towards Kalluto, after all, he was only three years old. It was but a general statement towards all traps out there.

"Got you."

After the Heavenly Restriction, his physique keeps on improving with each passing second.

It didn't matter whether he was sleeping, walking, eating, or shitting, his body would keep on making adjustments in muscles and becoming stronger.

When he had gotten swordsmanship (Grandmaster), to make sure his body is perfectly able to use swordsmanship at that level, it was modified by the system.

That means, even before the Heavenly Restriction, his physique was already upgraded to an inhuman level.

Heavenly Restriction just pumped that inhuman part to another level.

At the place where he stood, a shock wave was released and he vanished, startling Misato.

She stared wide-eyed at the huge footprint with astonishment.

From Geto and Gojo, she knew that Noah didn't possess any cursed energy which made her quite skeptical of his ability as a sorcerer.

But seeing him standing on the same level as the two strongest sorcerers assured her that he shouldn't be normal by any means either.

And now seeing him destroying a concrete wall with just a motion of his hand and vanishing, which she could tell was just pure physical strength, she believed that her theory of him being a hidden monster was right.

'How can you even sink the ground with your step without using any curse energy? His physical strength is absurd!'

The world blurred within his vision, in a blink, he found his face only some inches away from the three-year-old kid.

His dark pupils stared straight into his pink eyes, making Kalluto's body tense.

Pupils so dark enough to pull anyone within them, reflecting no light, the pressure Kalluto felt made him impossible to move.

<<Scare>>

A silent voice left Noah's mouth, carried by the wind, heard all into his vicinity.

Misato, who still stood at her initial position, Illumi who was making his way towards Misato silently, and Kalluto, who stood only inches away from Noah, all of them felt an unprecedented fear rising within their bodies.

Sweat formed onto their bodies, their breath getting haggard.

All of them stared at Noah at the same time, his presence pressed onto their whole being like a heavy mountain, making it hard for them to breathe under the pressure released from him.

"Say… Can you drop that fan of yours and corporate like a good boy? I don't want to hurt a premature kid."

His voice didn't hold any hostility. It was calm and tranquil, like a father talking to their children, but it could be not any different than the voice of their Father to them.

Calm and tranquil, but filled with authority and pressure that made it impossible for them to ignore it.

"Quite a tough consciousness. I guess being from Zoldyck is no joke." He said, standing up straight before pointing his palm towards Misato, making her take one scared step back staring into those abyssal eyes and feral grin. "But you people are still thousands of years too young to kill me."

<<Hold>>

"Ugk!" A voice came from Misato's behind, startling her as she jumped to see a girl with black hair standing there with a needle in her hand, her posture like one who is about to assault someone—who else but her?

"Sad for you as nothing is hidden from these eyes of mine…"

'I guess this much edginess is enough for a day…'

Of course, to Noah, the edgier one was, the cooler they looked.

That was the very sense of cool and badass in anime or in any other fictional fantasy story.

"Well then, I wonder if you have time to talk about a little deal?" All the pressure from the air vanished with Illumi and Kalluto still standing in their initial position, not being able to move due to the spell <<Hold>>.

"I have a cookie."

|—Riko Amanai's Class—|

"Amanai!"

The door of the class was slammed open by a white-haired man as he shouted the name of the girl, startling the whole class.

"Wha-wha-whaaat! What are you doing?!" The girl in question shouted back with a flustered expression, finding her friends staring at her with stars in their eyes.

"Is he your boyfriend?!"

"No! He is… is my cousin!"

"Wow! He is so handsome! Can you show us your face?"

Like a gentleman he was, he took his glasses off and made sure to give them his best pose with a mainly smile.

"Kyaa~! He is so handsome! Can I have your number!?"

"Calm down class!" The teacher shouted.

"You also want his number Sensei!"

She walked in Gojo's direction before saying.

"Even if you are a family member, it is not an ideal behavior to enter a class so suddenly. By the way, here is my number."

"He is too young for you anyway Sensei!"

"Shut up!" The teacher shouted in anger. "Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to find a man due to my work?"

"Your class is quite lively." Gojo laughed before picking Riko up and ran outside of the class with her in his hands.

"I told you to not come to my class, what are you thinking?"

"Time Vessel Association attacked again, you know what will happen if they found you with your friends, right?" Gojo questioned, giving her a side look while jumping on the roof. "We are returning to Jujutsu High."

"..." She became silent and didn't say anything.

Down at the school, a person wearing a plastic bag over his head looked up and saw Gojo with Riko on the roof.

"Thirty Million Bounty." He muttered with excitement, adjusting his bag.

'Who is that person? Her bodyguard? Whatever, I'll kill him too.'

"Hello sir, do you not know entering school with a psychopathic costume is not permitted?"

His eyes widened as he felt a hand on his right shoulder and a voice from his behind, but before he could do anything, his right side exploded into a gory mess of blood and bones, splattering it everywhere.

<<Shock Wave>>

"It can destroy plate armor with ease, you know. Better get a body stronger than steel to tank it."

Noah stared at the person lying in his own bloody mess.

His brow raised as he saw the body deforming before entering the earth and vanishing, making him sigh.

"Sorcerers and their weird techniques, even death can be dodged."

If he remembered correctly, from the story, this masked person's technique allowed him to create clones that had 100 percent of his strength.

And after the death of one clone, he can exchange positions with another to remain alive.

"But there should be a range limit to how far he can control his clones, seeing as he died in the original." He said. "But the technique to create a clone with a hundred percent of your strength is in itself a cheat, don't you think so too, Kalluto?"

The black-haired bobbed hair cut kid—who had his hand-tied and body held by some weird magic—turned his gaze away, refusing to speak with the person who "kidnapped" them.

"Not so talkative are we?" Noah smiled before turning to look towards the other girl. "What about you Illumi?"

"I don't see your purpose of taking us hostage, or do you really think you can get something out from Father? If so, I must say that you thinking that itself is a foolish thing."

"Is that so?" Noah smirked but didn't say anything else, making Illumi's brow twitch, getting annoyed seeing Noah's smirk.

He turned towards Misato, who was staring at him with slight wariness.

"Don't look at me like that, people will think I tried to force myself onto you or something." He sighed.

For some reason, from the moment he used the spell <<Scare>>, Misato has been quite scared of him. It made him realize that spells that affected the mind of an individual worked quite well on normal people.

[A dude with a psychopathic mask is coming in your direction, deal with it.]

Using <<Message>>, he said to Gojo before internally thinking.

'Now what… I wonder if things have changed too much due to my presence.'
