After returning from Mechamaru,
Akutagawa Shang simply stayed at Kyoto Jujutsu High for the next few days...
Life over those days was so plain and unadorned,
They spent practically all their time putting Noritoshi Kamo and Megumi Fushiguro through special training...
After those days of jujutsu training, with everyone's help, Megumi Fushiguro had fully tamed all nine shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique aside from Mahoraga...
Noritoshi Kamo had also thoroughly mastered his newly acquired skills: Reverse Cursed Technique and the Cursed Technique Reversal of Blood Manipulation...
Everything was ready now,
So all that remained was to head to the Kamo Clan...
Early one morning a few days later, two black sedans sat parked outside the gates of Kyoto Jujutsu High...
"Akutagawa-kun..."

"Who's driving you back to Tokyo...?"
Halfway through speaking, Akutagawa Shang clapped a hand over his mouth as the answer slowly surfaced in his mind...
"Wait..."
"Don't tell me..."

Akutagawa Shang said nothing. He walked over to the back seat and tapped on the window,
Seeing him, Maki rolled down the window and poked her head out to look at Akutagawa Shang:
"What's wrong...?"
Akutagawa Shang said nothing, only gently patting Maki's cheek...
"Sigh..."
"Take care of yourself..."
Hopefully, the Heavenly Tyrant could withstand Satoru Gojo's wild driving.
Akutagawa Shang turned around and slowly backed away...
"Hey, hey, hey..."
"What about me...?"
"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you..."
Akutagawa Shang walked over to Mai and reached out to pull her into
