Chương 2: Chapter 2
"Talking"
'Thinking'
*Action/Noise*
==============================
On a deep part of the forest in the east. A group of samurais are running away from a large monster behind them! The monster is a disfigured type that even in the records of Orario don't have.
Samurai 1: "Run faster, everyone! That thing cannot be touched by dimple means! This has been discussed during the last meeting! What are are dealing right now is a cursed monster!"
The leader of the group shouted as they evade the grabs of the cursed monster by hairs. His group is in the verge of collapsing as they've been trying to escape that monster for hours.
Samurai 1: 'Damn it! According to the words that we got from the sorcerer, with this kind of strength, this cursed monster can be considered as a semi 2nd grade! We can beat this thing, we need the shrine maidens!'
He thought as he parkoured on every steps and trees he lands on. He knew that what they are currently dealing with can be easily taken care of if they have received holy buffs from the shrine maidens of the east.
But since this mission is unknown and was given to them by one of the head nobles on the far East, they didn't think that they would need such things.
Samurai 2: "C-Captain!! AHHHHHHH--"
One of the samurais have been grabed by the monster, and without sparing any moments, the monster opened its large mouth and threw the samurai inside it. Then closed it off faster that the other samurais heard the sound of bones breaking.
One by one the others are getting caught and eaten by the monster. Only two of them remains, the captain of the group and his right hand man.
Samurai 1: 'GODDAMMIT! I can't believe this! This is bullshit! Of all the years I spent and suffered to become a level 2, is going waste just because of my naivety! It even costs the life of my friends!'
As he lost on his thoughts with regret. The hands of the cursed monster is coming up behind him to grab him. He was late to notice this and by the time he turns his head back. The palm of the monster is already there.
Samurai 1: " Ah... "
But then suddenly! He was blasted of to the side and was knocked back to the tree. He painly stood up and looked back, just then his eyes widen...
Samurai 1: "... Takeshi... "
His friend was grabbed by the head after saving him. And without any second thought, the cursed monster crushes the head of his closest friend right in front of him.
He was devastated... His legs gave out as he kneeled down. What was his life's purpose for? What is the meaning of continuing?
What would he do... Even if he survives?
Then the monster rushed and jumped towards him, mouth widens as it intends to just eat him directly, showing no sign of resistance. A tear poured down his right eye as he accepted his fate.
??? : " (Reversal Technique: Red) "
The monster blows up in an instant. The samurai's eyes is filled with shock and confusion. With just one hit of a small magic, managed to kill the monster that all of them combined couldn't even touch.
His head turns to the person who shot the red magic and stared at the man. His snow white hear waves as if the wind itself kept on caressing it, his blue eyes shines as he also looked at the samurai. 190cm in height and toned body. This person is unmistakable.
Samurai 1: " Gojo... Satoru."

Satoru just stared at the man's lifeless eyes. Eyes that has lost all of its hope as all of his friends and comrades die right before his eyes. Satoru came late not by the lack of speed, but the misinformation that was given to him.
Satoru: 'Nijouno Family. Those bastards deliberately stalled me to try and instill their own power and win over me to this day. I was lucky that Amaterasu disappeared quickly so I was able to go here.'
Satoru looks around as he walks towards the man. All of the samurai that was sent here to investigate a Den for monsters suspected to be Kobold or Goblins, was killed brutally. He was himself is to be the one to go to this mission, but after being called by the Nijouno Family, his mission was forced down to the rookies that was showing promises.
Satoru: ' A semi 2nd Grade Cursed Monster, something like a ghoul or spirit that cannot be touched by any means. They have started appearing quite some years ago and I was the only one who was able to kill it, other than the Shrine Maidens who uses holy power to try and defeat it.'
Satoru: "Can you stand?"
Samurai: "..."
Satoru: "You're hurt on your sides and broke 3 ribs. I have a potion here that can help you with that, *Puts it down* Take it when you are ready, after that leave the place. That might not be the only one roaming around on these area."
Samurai: "Why... Why did you come so late! They could've been saved!"
The samurai screamed his heart out. Satoru didn't waver and kept walking but on a slow pace.
Samurai: " We heard how strong you are... All of us was jealous of how such a child who don't even have a falna could out do us! But we realized that you are just simply special and accepted it. With your power, you could save anyone you like with ease. Yet... Why did this happen... WHY!"
Satoru did not respond to the man's words. He continues to inspect the surroundings as he saw the more and more of the dead bodies on the way. The man's words gets lower and lower as Satoru disappears to the deep forest, looking for any more cursed monster on the way.
Satoru: "... I want to leave this place like Kagu-chi... But I have a responsibility here for Old Man Noshimiya and Miu-nee. After this, I'll just complain to Amaterasu then try to struck some deal with her and push her more to a corner."
Satoru ponders, but then he halts his movements. The surrounding felt a little eerie for him, as if there's something hiding in the surroundings. Satoru smiled.
Satoru: " Well, now I can say that this area has been cleared properly... *points hand*"
"(DISMANTLE)"
With one swift swing of his palms, Satoru cleared and sliced the trees immediately, effectively killing the last Cursed monster hiding behind the trees. With Satoru's complete mastery of the Slicing technique, he can accurately slice the things he want without even moving. But he just felt cool doing it.
Satoru: "Now this mission is over. I can head back and try to screw over the Nijouno family if I can. Because there is no way I'm letting them slide with what happened here. As long as I am alive... Rightful justice will be served. Because it is the duty of the strongest."

(Timeskip)
Satoru, along with a carriage that contains all of the remains of the samurai team that was reported to be deployed in that area, have arrived at the Capital City in the Far East. Everyone looked at the bloodied carriage that hides the bodies of the dead samurais, but won't hide the bloods on the sheets along with the smell.
Satoru's eyes is covered in black cover. But even without seeing, he can move just fine as if he's still looking without it. The dejected face of the leader of the group, lowered his head to avoid the gazes of the people around before he reaches his destination.
Satoru: "Death is inevitable... Even if the way they died is something that wasn't supposed to happened, it did. all we can do is to carry on their will and move forward. Become strong, so that there wont be next time."
He said before disappearing. he man heard his words and contemplated on it. Will he continue this? Settle down? Or try and seek revenge? Questions in his head that will never be given any answers that is correct.

Satoru arrives in front of the conference room. Currently, the heads of all Families are gathered for a meeting about the Far East's future trades.
Satoru opens the door and went inside nonchalantly. Everyone's heads immediately turns to him as he walks towards his spot beside Amaterasu herself. Amaterasu smiles as she welcomes Satoru's arrival with love.
Amaterasu: "Satoru~ How are you today~ Anything to share~?"
She asked while trying to act cute to Satoru. Even as a child, Amaterasu spoiled Satoru too much that Satoru became a bit of a nonchalant person and a bit careless and a happy go luck person. But this time, Satoru doesn't have his signature smile of mocking. But rather a frown with his eyes penetrating whatever it is staring in.
Satoru: "It's nothing, Goddess Amaterasu. I'm just a bit pissed that's all. You see, the mission that I took was forced upon to a certain low leveled samurais that we've recruited. All of them but one died when I arrived, facing a semi 2-nd grade curse monster."
Upon telling his grievance, the whole room went dead quiet. After all, this is something that Satoru hated the most. People dying at things that could've been avoided.
Amaterasu: "How so? I gave you permission on taking it and leaving my side. What's so important that you didn't do it first?" She asked.
Satoru: "I was called... To the Nijouno manor and for a small meeting with the head."
His words made the Head of the Nijouno clan pale. After all, they are all aiming for Gojo Satoru. A child prodigy that appeared out of nowhere and just took the title of the Strongest without breaking a sweat, nor have a Blessing from a God. Amaterasu, too, wants the child but she knows that she can't force him because she's also scared of what such anomaly can do.
Satoru: "I was once again offered a marriage proposal, which not only wasted my time, but also wasted the lives of the people that took the job just so I can attend his meeting. Not only he did and went over the line when he selfishly did it. But it resulted in deaths that cannot be recovered."
He spoke as he stares at him. Everyone in that room knows that Satoru can easily kill everyone there on a whim using his strange abilities. But for some reason, he doesn't. He was tame for someone with much power.
Amaterasu: "I see... Then, what shall be the punishment of the Nijouno Family? Exile? Imprisonment? Or... Complete eradication?"
Amaterasu's words sent chills to the Head's spines. Because he knows well that Amaterasu meant every word she said, like what she did to the Rokujou Family.
The noble families, such as the Sanjou and Gojou families, serve the Royal Court and there are eight of them. There used to be nine noble families until the Rokujou were destroyed in a political strife. The Sanjou are in charge of divine affairs related to Amaterasu while the Gojou are in charge of dark jobs.
Satoru: " Give the rightful punishment. But don't forget about the people it affected. I want them to be compensated, and I'm sure that the Nijouno Family is capable enough of doing it." He said while glaring at the head of the Nijouno.
Satoru then gave Amaterasu a sealed letter. Amaterasu felt a bit off on what Satoru gave her, but she opened it nontheless. But what the letter contains surprised her.
Amaterasu: " A WHAT NOW!!!!"
Satoru: "You're quite loud aren't ya. I don't need permission or anything. It's just a heads up for you."
Amaterasu" "But this is quite long you know! And where would you stay?! You've never been outside of the far east before or never been in your entire life! Why ask this now!?"
Satoru: "... I don't know. I already contacted one of the people I know and I'll be staying at their place. I hope that things wont go to shit while I am away."
This exchange baffled everyone present. Then what contain in that letter is...
A vacation notification for Amaterasu! For how long? 6 months!!!
Amaterasu: "NOOOO!! MY BABY SATO-KUN~~!!!"
