Capítulo 5: Chapter 5
In the gentle glow of the pre-dawn light, a slender and lean figure, standing at about 4 feet 7 inches, stirred in his sleep. The persistent beep of the alarm clock filled the room, coaxing the boy awake.
Despite his imposing stature, his neck-length coal-black hair and emerald green eyes framed a countenance that defied expectations—his face, soft and baby-like.
With a deliberate motion, he silenced the alarm at the stroke of 4:00 am. Rising from his bed, he moved through the morning rituals with a practiced ease.
Washing his face, brushing his teeth, and meticulously making his bed, he carried out each task with precision.
Entering the kitchen, he embarked on the next step of his morning routine. A cup of coffee, dark and aromatic, took form under his expert hands. Stepping onto the small balcony, he settled into a chair, the cityscape waking up around him.
Holding the daily newspaper, he raised the cup to his lips, the rich flavor of the coffee intertwining with the scent of the morning air.
The boy's emerald eyes scanned the headlines as he casually sipped his coffee. Despite the bustling city beyond his balcony, a tranquil calm enveloped him—a serene moment suspended in the stillness of the early morning.
In this seamless blend of routine and reflection, he found solace, embracing the new day with a sense of purpose and quiet contentment.
"hahh~" Taking the first sip the man released a sigh of relief.
'This place really has grown on me' Ryusei thought to himself as he looked over the familiar sight of streets.
Five years have passed since Ryusei moved into this small apartment in Tokyo. Many memories were now made here and on these streets.
After finishing his cup of coffee Ryusei dawned on a black Tracksuit and black running shoes. Leaving his apartment a system notice appeared in front of his face.

-[Progress insufficient, please raise atleast one physical skill to S rank]-
Ryusei looked at the progress he had made over the course of 5 years. His eyes shifted to the now singular cursed technique he had under him.
A memory from the past flashed in front of him as he remembered his first loss against a curse.
'That damn curse, even if I was only 7 years old at the time. I can't believe I lost to a Grade 3' Ryuhei thought to himself as he clenched his fists in anger.

'Whatever I should finish today's daily quest before thinking about anything else' Ryusei thought to himself and started his morning exercise routine.
Jogging on a familiar route Ryusei reached the local park. Grabbing the branch of a monkey bar in the park Ryusei started his Pull-Ups.
𝗗𝗢 𝗥𝗨 𝗥𝗨 𝗥𝗨 𝗥𝗨 𝗥𝗨𝗨𝗨
𝗗𝗢 𝗥𝗨 𝗥𝗨 𝗥𝗨 𝗥𝗨 𝗥𝗨𝗨𝗨
In the middle of performing his Push-Ups Ryusei's phone started to ring.
"Hello, huu, Ryusei speaking," Ryusei said as he gasped between his words.
"It's me Takana, you remember the grade 3 curse that beat your ass?" Takana questioned from the other side of the phone.
"Tch, what about it?" Ryusei asked.
"One of our windows spotted something similar to the description you gave"
"Where!?" Ryusei yelled loudly.
"I have taken the duty to kill it this time, wanna join?" Takana questioned.
"Perfect, this is perfect" Ryusei replied with a grin on his face.
"I will take that as a yes, the curse is hiding itself in a forest. We have already placed a barrier around it so I cannot escape, meet me at Yama's in an hour" Takana said.
"You think I can borrow that one for the day" Ryusei questioned.
"The one with spikes?"
"Yeah"
"Why not" Takana responded and cut off the call.
'Today really is a great day' Ryusei thought to himself as he sat under a tree's shade.

After completing his daily training Ryusei approached the same spot where once a small ramen stall stood.
Within just 5 years Yama's unnamed ramen stall had now transformed into a small restaurant.
Yugi Ramen Special. That was the name of the now-new ramen restaurant.
"The place is looking new Yama-ji" Ryusei said as entered the restaurant.
"Don't tease your elderly" A voice came from behind the counter as a young man reprimanded Ryusei.
"you are always so stiff Sora-san" Ryusei commented as he took a seat.
Sora Yugi was the only son of Yama Yugi. He was tall and had a muscular build. He had short black hair.
"You are turning more and more like that hooligan Takana" Sora stated.
"In what regard," Ryusei asked immediately.
"Every, except looks" Sora truthfully responded.
"Regardless how are you here so early?" Sora questioned.
"Takana told me he would be treating me to breakfast for the day, what better place than this" Ryusei answered.
"I see, so what do you like to order?"
"The usual with Chasu instead of Narutomaki" Ryusei responded as Sora nodded and started to prepare the bowl.
"The place is looking new Yama-ji" Takana yelled as he opened the door.
"Don't tease your elderly" Sora said as he reprimanded Takana.
"you are always so stiff Sora-chan~" Takana commented as he took a seat beside Ryusei.
"..." Sora didn't respond and merely stared at Ryusei with a look saying 'I told ya'.
"What's with the looks?" Takana questioned.
"Nothing much" Ryusei responded ending the topic.
"Anyways ready for the workout kiddo?" Takana questioned as he slammed his hand on Ryusei's shoulder.
"yeah, yeah, did you bring it?" Ryusei asked.
"It's in the car, we will leave as soon as you finish eating" Takana stated as Sora served Ryusei a bowl of ramen.
"What do you mean I am done already" Ryusei responded as even Takana was surprised by Ryusei's speed of finishing the bowl.
-[You have eaten a hearty meal]-
-[Buff: Battle Ready]-
-[Endurance: B+ -> BB- ]-
"You are turning more and more of a glutton now eh?" Takana commented as he pulled out his wallet and put down 500 yen on the counter.
"We will be back soon, prepare some tonkatsu broth for me," Takana said as he and Ryusei left the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant a black car parked. Inside a man was sitting in the driver's seat wearing a black suit and black glasses.
"Yo, Negi-san open the trunk for me will ya," Takan asked.
"hmh" The man nodded and the car's garage was opened. Inside there was a steel briefcase.
Approaching the case Takana put the password in the lock and the case opened itself revealing a pair of knuckles.
"Cursed Fists," Takana said as he picked them up and handed them to Ryusei. "A grade 4, curse weapon. When you apply curse energy to it, spikes will appear out of it"
"Sweet, I knew they were made for me when I first laid eyes on them," Ryusei said as he put the knuckles on.
"Anyways, hop in we still have a job to do" Takan stated as the two sat on the passenger seat and the car drove off.
After a drive of 20 minutes, the two had now arrived in front of a closed-off building.
"The only one inside is a Grade 3, you go this" Takana said as he nudged Ryusei towards the building.
"You don't need to tell me twice" Ryusei responded and entered the building.
"KI KI KI"
"KI KI KI"

"That won't work anymore you fucker!" Ryusei yelled out loud trying to provoke the curse.
One of the doors in the small corridor busted open as a curse made its appearance.
The curse was the size of a large horse with its mouth taking almost all of its body space. It had long limbs with razor spark claws and it was popping out of its head like a crab.
"I was gonna ask if you remember me, but I bet you even remember yesterday you retard!" Ryusei yelled and charged at the cursed spirit.
Seeing Ryusei charge at him the curse opened its mouth baring its fangs at Ryusei.
"KWIAKKKKK!!" The curse screeched and tried to bite Ryusei's head. Already familiar with this Ryusei slid right under it and punched it with all force he could muster.
"Ya feel it?!" Ryusei yelled and again charged at the curse. Seeing the oncoming Ryusei the curse changed its attacking position and now stood on its hindlegs.
With its razor-sharp claws, it recklessly waved them in Ryusei's direction. Unable to dodge them all the curse managed to tear his jacket and slash his shoulders.
-[Debuff: Bleeding]-
Ignoring the pain Ryusei grabbed on its claws and used it to propel himself towards the curse's face.
Seeing Ryusei mid-air the curse opened its mouth finding him easy prey. Seeing that Ryusei grinned and flipped himself mid and grabbed on the curse's lower jaw with his fists while his legs stopped it from closing its mouth.
Unable to close its mouth the curse in confusion started to smash itself on walls trying to get Ryusei off.
"Settle Down!" Ryusei yelled as curse energy flowed through the Cursed Fists he punched on its exposed flesh.
'The fucker has rubbery skin that makes the most impacts useless, but what about's exposed parts' Ryusei thought to himself with a grin as purple liquid oozed out from where he had punched last.
Using his right arm and two legs as support structure Ryusei repeatedly pounded the cruse's inside with his left hand.
Feeling the sharp pain from each of Ryusei's strikes the curse was now trying to use its tongue to push Ryusei out of its mouth.
"Ya taste that!?"
"That's what rage tastes like!" Ryusei yelled not stopping his strikes.
"ORAORAORAORAORORAORAORAROAORAORAORAORAORAORARORAORAORAORAROARORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!!!!"
"KYIIII" The curse screeched for the last time and it finally dropped down.
Silaiva and purple liquid covered Ryusei as he looked at the curse that had started to fade away.
"Don't provoke wrong people next life" Ryusei stated and used his hand to apply pressure on his wound.

"Stack eh? Takana told me about it once. Well getting this arm treated is the first priority" Ryusei mumbled as excited out of the building.
"Look at that, new style?" Takana asked with a grin as he saw Ryusei approach the car.
"Fuck Off" Ryusei answered as he sat in the car.
"Take us to Jujutsu High, Shoko will treat ya there" Takana stated as he messed with Ryusei's hair.
"Eww, what is that?" Takana questioned as he felt a gooey liquid on his hands.
"Retribution" Ryuhei responded.
"Whatever, anyways congratulations." Takana stated "You are now the youngest guy to ever kill a grade three who is not named Gojo Satoru"
"Tch, how is he doing? I heard he took in two kids recently?" Ryuhei asked.
"I heard it too, but he is really secretive about that stuff" Takana responded. "What? want me to settle you all a play date?"
"I would rather be eaten by that curse before it" Ryusei responded.
"Will Satoru did state that he is hoping to have you three meet each other" Takana said.
The ride lasted a few hours and they finally reached the entrance of Jujutsu High. With the help of a barrier, it was disguised to look like a mountain top.
"Well this is as far as I take ya," Takana said as he and Ryusei stepped out of the car.
"Shoko will be waiting around the entrance barrier"
"What about you? Where are you off to?" Ryusei questioned.
"I finally got a mission to be promoted to First Grade, I will stop at Yugi's first tho" Takana responded and the car took off.
"He is not going to shut up about being a grade 1 after that" Ryusei muttered and started to take the flight of stairs.
