In a flash a year quickly passed since Mute battled Mei Mei. Mute hasn't taken a single request for an assassination since the battle. The sudden disappearance surprised Geto who couldn't understand why Mute hadn't responded to his messages and requests.
The answer was quite simple. During the battle with Mei Mei, Mute quickly realized he was far too weak to complete high-level assassination requests. Mute has been training non-stop inside the cellar. Mute can be seen doing push-ups with weights on his back inside the dark cellar.
Mute was counting the number of pushups in his head...
302, 303, 303- before I could finish the 304 push up I heard a quiet step echo out, bouncing off the cellar walls. I instantly stood up as the weights on my back fell off slamming into the floor. I stare into the darkness until I hear a chuckle. There's only one person I know that can walk that silently.
" Well done, brat, you surprised me. I didn't think you could hear my footsteps. "
Says my sister standing next to the stone wall before lighting an oil lantern. The bright orange flame illuminates the dark cellar. I stare at my sister before she talks again.
" I'm sorry for missing your 12th birthday. I know not seeing me must have ruined your month. But get ready. The tournament starts today. "
That's right, the tournament is being held today. I had completely forgotten about it. I start walking towards my sister before she suddenly points to the right at the shower. I nod my head before walking towards the shower.
I enter the shower before noticing a black robe folded up in the corner of the room. The robe has a white snake engrossed on the cuffs of the robe. I take a cold shower before putting on the robe and walking out of the room, my hair still dripping wet.
I walk past my sister as she smirks at me. I start walking up the staircase while my sister talks to me.
" I'm sure you have already thought of this. But I'll tell you anyway, you can't use your innate technique or cursed tool. Gojo will be attending the tournament. And if he watches how you use your innate technique it'll make the impossible task of killing him even more difficult. "
Of course, I thought about this. That's why I have two knives in this robe. They were the same knives that my sister gave me on my 11th birthday. After walking for 30 minutes. My sister and I ended up in the middle of Kyoto. The sound of a massive amount of applause and yelling roared out.
A huge crowd of thousands of people surrounds a circle of stone. The circle of stone is around 80 feet long and wide. The crowd of people is sitting on metal bleachers. I look through the crowd of people as two kids battle on the stage. The Zenin clan isn't going to join the tournament until the third bracket is over.
I stand next to my sister with a bored look on my face. The children fighting on the stage are sloppy, their movement is sluggish. I doubt either of them will make it past the second bracket. I watch the fight on the stage until I feel someone staring at me.
I look to my right and see a green-haired girl with glasses staring at me. I believe her name is Maki, and I think for some reason I have piqued her interest. I watch as she approaches me slipping through the crowd of people. She keeps walking until suddenly she halts in her tracks as a sudden powerful energy engulfs the area.
I look over towards the source of energy before smirking. Satoru Gojo has arrived. He sure knows how to make an entrance, doesn't he? I stare at Gojo until I feel a tap on my left shoulder. I look to my left and see Maki standing directly next to me.
I look at her surprised. I wasn't worried about her reaching me because I doubted my sister would let her touch me but my sister has for some reason disappeared. I look at Maki confused until she talks.
" You never answered my question, who are you? "...
