The next day arrived.
Deep in the mountains, far from Kyoto Jujutsu High,
inside a basement that no Cursed Energy Detector could detect,
was the whereabouts of Mechamaru, otherwise known as Kokichi Muta.
"Bang, bang, bang!!!"
The earth shook violently.
An unbroken series of thunderous booms erupted in the distance...
And the source of the noise seemed to be approaching at an astonishing speed.
At that moment, a figure was leaping back and forth through the mountain range...
A closer look revealed that it was Akutagawa Shang, who had come for their appointment.
Although he could not fly,
with the tremendous strength of his body, he could launch himself off the ground with his feet and burst across great distances-
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Every leap sent billowing clouds of dust rising between the peaks.
Moments later, Akutagawa Shang sensed an enormous amount of cursed energy and finally arrived at the destination for this meeting...
"Looks like I'm here..."
Still in midair, Akutagawa Shang locked onto his landing spot,
then adjusted his posture.
"Thud!!!"
Akutagawa Shang slammed down onto the mountain peak, smashing an enormous crater into the ground.
Following his sense of cursed energy, Akutagawa Shang approached a small hill.
From the outside, it looked like an utterly ordinary little hill.
But his sense of cursed energy did not lie...
However...
"There doesn't seem to be a door...?"
Akutagawa Shang circled the little hill several times, yet never found the slightest trace of an entrance.
"How am I supposed to get in...?"
Akutagawa Shang rubbed his chin, his superbrain working nonstop as he considered how to get inside and find Mechamaru...
A moment later, Akutagawa Shang slapped his forehead, finally reaching a conclusion.
His superbrain told him that now was the time to use his superstrength.
Couldn't find a door...?
