- Silas -
We walked out of my Restaurant and I would be lying if I said I wasn't surprised. The area looked nothing like before.
The entire place was surrounded by high walls. Talismans covered every inch of the wall and not a single empty place could be seen. It was as if it was some sort of a bunker.
Although the part which bothered me the most is that I couldn't tell who exactly it was protecting, us….or the world.
I had heard that the number of curses had increased drastically in the area and that everyone was doing what they were to protect this area but I was not expecting something like this.
The most surprising thing was the large gym-like facility and the rooms surrounding the place.
"Alright, let's go. Show me what you got." Gojo-san asked me.
"What is all this?" I asked, looking around the place
"Just some quick fix for the damage done to the place last time. Now this place could take your practice without giving out." He shrugged. "Alright, see follow me. Let's see what you can do. See those dummies there, attack them with your new Cursed Technique."
I looked towards the place he was pointing and those were indeed dummies.
I nodded.
"Let's gooooo! Nii-san. Blow that dummy up." Naruto cheered from behind me.
He was always excited about this.
Sakura was also watching quietly.
I drew the knife, the same I had used to fight.
This thing had changed back last night and Tohru hadn't come today so I couldn't ask her what exactly it was.
I took a deep breath and held it in front of me and concentrated on the dummies.
The shape didn't change but I knew that I didn't need it to change its shape. My technique could be used anyways.
"Chop." I swung my knife in a chopping motion and sure enough the dummy in front of me was cut in two.
I aimed towards the second dummy and made my next move "Julienne."
The dummy fell to the ground, chopped into thinly sliced sticks.
With every swing of my knife, a dummy fell.
By the time I looked back everyone had different kinds of reactions.
Sakura was smiling.
Naruto had a starry look in his eyes.
Gojo-san had a wide smile on his face.
And Nanami-sensei….he was looking at me and the dummies alternatively with a shocked look.
"So all those are the names of your techniques? How many did you awaken?" Gojo-san asked.
"Eh? Not really. I think I only have one technique. I basically consider the battlefield as a kitchen and the knife movements are the same ones that I use in my kitchen. Those are just the names of the cuts."
"Oh. So your technique sends invisible cuts to anything in its path then?" He asked, walking up to the dummy and checking them. "Rare but not unseen. In fact, I know of someone who can do something like this too." He touched the dummies and said.
"Hmm, I don't really send any slashes….or at least I think so. Also I don't cut anything per say." I interrupted. I knew what my technique did. It was something which became evident to me when I was fighting last night.
Maybe the only thing that was obscuring it all this time was the seal.
"Oh! Then what do you think it does?"
"It….I think it cuts only what I want to cut."
"Excuse me?"
"It just cuts what I want to cut. For example, Slice." I lifted my knife and waved it towards another dummy with an armour of some kind and the entire armour was cut in two and fell to both sides of the dummy.
There were no cuts, not even a scratch on the dummy itself.
I knew this because when I cut those monsters last night, I made sure not to harm the boys who were attached to the monsters.
That's why I was able to assure Tobio that I hadn't hurt any one of them.
Gojo-san disappeared from his place and appeared near the armour dummy….which was currently without any armour.
"No marks. The dummy is completely unharmed. Alright, now for another test." he stood up and faced me. "Attack me."
"Huh?"
"Well you heard me. Attack. Don't worry, I'll be fine." He laughed.
"Are you sure?" I asked, hesitating a bit.
"Hahahaha it's fine. After all, I am the strongest."
The corner of my lips twitched a bit at the man's shameless bragging.
"Alright then, here you go. Slice." I aimed, only wishing to cut off his skin. Not his body completely.
His face changed as he raised his head and pulled up his sleeves to show us a line of cut on his skin. He then looked at me. "Were you aiming for just my skin?"
I nodded and he looked back at his wound again as it healed almost instantly. "Well, I take back what I said, Silas-kun. Your Cursed Technique is not rare….it's absolutely one of a kind. Care to help me with a few more experiments?"
"Eh, okay."
"Alright, try it again. Try cutting me again." he asked, opening his blindfold.
"Umm okay." If the guy himself wanted to get cut, who was I to deny?
Nanami-sensei did tell me that he was a master of the Reverse Cursed Technique.
I waved my knife again and this time he disappeared from his place and appeared in another place.
He lifted his sleeve and this time there were no cuts.
"So your attack can be dodged. It's not like a Domain. It does have a time lag. Does it travel through obstacles? Alright, keep it up till I tell you to stop."
I nodded and began to swing my knife at a faster speed.
I was training in martial arts with the Ryozanpaku Masters and eating my special food everyday and….I was even a devil so my physical abilities were more than a normal person. Not to mention my knife skills which were a reward from my Restaurant System. I could make over fifty cuts every second with extreme precision.
And this guy was dodging my attacks, disappearing from one place to another.
Not to say that he was completely uncut, I could see a few cuts on him….or at least I think I did because they disappeared as soon as they appeared.
We stopped after five minutes.
"Alright, that's enough. So, I figured out your technique." He lifted his hand and waved at me.
"It does travel in some way as the more distance I had from you, the more time it took for you to hit. The difference was not much, around a fiftieth of a second for a fifteen metres distance. Pretty fast I think but I think you could go faster when you use more Cursed Energy and your movements increased. We need to work on your attack speed and martial arts more so that you can use your ability to your fullest. I still want to check a few things if you are up for it."
"Okay." I nodded.
After one and a half hours of testing my new Innate Technique, we went back to my Restaurant and I learned some more things about my technique.
"Still, this is a very good technique. Perfect for any Sorcerer." Gojo-san commented as he ate a spoonful of pudding and brightened up.
"I think this is a perfect technique for me. I can make so many dishes with this."
….
"Make dishes…."
"Hmm obviously. I am a chef after all." I smiled, earning me a loud laugh from the man.
"True words. Anyways, I came here to inform you three about a few things. As you know the current situation is quite bad, with the increase in the number of curses and all that. There has been a change in the school administration. The previous governing body….retired. So there will be a bit of time before you all can visit the school."
Naruto jumped in excitement.
I guess not going to school was always good news for him.
"Buuuuuut no need to worry. We will be bringing some of the students here to meet you all. Be respectful to your Senpais. As for me, I need to be out for a while. There are a few curses which need to be exorcised." His face changed a bit when he said the last part. I will keep dropping by when I can but you won't be able to bask in my awesomeness as much as you want. Alright alright, I know you are sad. Anyone would be. I am awesome after all."
….
….
….
….
"Anyways….I need to go to the Dojo now. Good bye." I excused myself as the white haired man pouted.
- Natsume Minagawa -
"Where the hell are the reinforcements? Why haven't they arrived yet?" She cursed as Gryphon blocked another monster from jumping at her and threw it away with a gust of wind.
Originally more people had arrived but others had returned with the three people who were chasing Tobio and were defeated by some onmyoji according to Tobio.
She knew he was lying and it was probably the devil but since Tobio didn't say anything, she didn't either.
The Devils and the Fallen Angels were enemy factions and she didn't want to point them towards someone who had just saved one of her classmate's life.
The rest of the members took the boys back to investigate further as these were the first ones they had captured alive.
Tobio was laying behind them, the injury on his leg aggravated. His Sacred Gear was fighting off things which were trying to harm him but they were barely keeping up with the help of their newest addition, Magician Lavinia.
"There are too many of them, we won't be able to fight them all. We should leave and find a place to hide."
"They know of our base. We cannot go back there." Lavinia replied while raising a huge wall of ice between them.
Suddenly, Tobio spoke from behind them. "We….we could go to Silas-san's place."
Her neck snapped in his direction. "You're not serious. That guy is a devil. Sure he saved your life but who knows what he would do. Haven't you heard the stories on how bad devils are?" She shouted.
"Not all devils are bad." The one who answered was surprisingly their newest companion. "I work for the Grauzaberer Magician Organisation which is run by Mephisto Pheles. He is one of the oldest devils alive and has been nothing but good to me."
Tobio, as if finding some courage, also replied. "Yes. Silas-san….is a friend. If he wanted to harm us, he could have done so earlier. He didn't and instead helped me. See….I have known him for a while now. Even Sae-chan knew him. He will not hurt us. And as for the stories, Fallen Angels were not exactly the good guys in those either and yet here they are helping us."
She opened her mouth to argue but couldn't find any valid reason to deny.
The wall of ice surrounding them was cracking and some monsters were trying to climb above it but were pushed off by Gryphon to the other side.
If the wall breaks, they will soon be overwhelmed.
"Tch….let's go there. We are already at a dead end. Gryphon!" She commanded as it used a massive gust of wind to push the monsters away from the wall and as if just waiting for this, the wall crashed, directly falling on the monsters below, crushing several of them under it.
All three of them made a run for it.
She hoped for once that Tobio wouldn't be wrong about the Devil.
