The morning fog rolled through the streets of Inazuma City as Fu Gu wandered the markets, not in search of anything specific, but rather to clear his head. His mind buzzed with the weight of recent events—Raiden's power, Ayaka's growing interest, and the heavy expectations of his system.
Yet, something else was gnawing at him. His current persona, the version of himself that felt heavy with responsibilities and burdens, was becoming too serious. It was unlike the life he had before—wild, carefree, and full of thrill. **Why did I become like this?** he mused, glancing at the busy streets. He was starting to miss the chaos, the cocky energy, the confidence.
Fu Gu slowed down as a thought crossed his mind—something strange had happened ever since he had arrived in this world. The system had altered his personality, making him more reserved, calculative, and cautious. But now, with more of Gojo Satoru's powers returning, it felt like a piece of his old self was clawing its way back.
He grinned slightly. **It's about time. I can't stay serious forever.**

Later that day, as Fu Gu explored the outskirts of the city, he stumbled across a group of Tenryou Commission soldiers in the middle of a heated argument with some rowdy treasure hoarders.
"Stop right there!" a sharp voice commanded. It was Kujou Sara, the fierce and disciplined general of the Shogunate forces. She stood with her bow in hand, glaring at the bandits who were clearly not taking her seriously.
Fu Gu stopped to watch, standing by the trees in the distance. **Well, this could be interesting.**
Sara shot an arrow that grazed the ground in front of the hoarders, causing them to retreat a few steps. "I won't warn you again," she stated coldly.
Fu Gu leaned against a nearby tree, a spark of amusement lighting up in his eyes. Watching someone as strict as Sara trying to deal with these fools was like watching a strict schoolteacher lose control of her classroom. **I should help, but this is too funny.**
But as the tension escalated, one of the hoarders, a muscular brute, lunged at Sara with a massive axe. Fu Gu's smile faded.
**Okay, playtime's over.**
In an instant, Fu Gu stepped into the fray, his figure blurring as he used the power of *Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue* to yank the attacker off balance and send him flying backward.
The soldiers, including Sara, blinked in confusion as the air shifted around them. Fu Gu appeared in front of the bandits, his posture relaxed, arms behind his head, the signature Gojo grin back on his face.
"What's going on here, General? Having trouble with a few low-level thugs?" he teased, his voice dripping with the nonchalance he had long suppressed.
Kujou Sara narrowed her eyes, clearly not amused. "This isn't your business. Stay out of it."
Fu Gu chuckled, ignoring her command entirely. "Looks like you could use the help anyway."
Without waiting for her response, he raised his hand, gathering cursed energy in his palm. The world seemed to bend for a moment as he unleashed a *Red* blast, sending the rest of the treasure hoarders flying like ragdolls.
Sara's expression shifted from irritation to shock. The sheer force of his technique left a small crater in the ground where the hoarders once stood. As the dust settled, Fu Gu casually turned to Sara with a cocky grin.
"See? No need to get your feathers ruffled. I've got it covered."
Sara scowled. "You're reckless. I could have handled that myself."
Fu Gu shrugged, walking past her. "Maybe, but where's the fun in letting you do all the work?"
He was already enjoying himself far more than he had in weeks. The thrill, the cockiness, the unrestrained arrogance—this was who he really was, or at least, who he was when he channeled Gojo's power.
As Fu Gu walked away, Sara watched him go, a mix of frustration and curiosity in her gaze. She hadn't expected someone like him to intervene, but what bothered her more was his casual approach to such overwhelming power.
**Who is this man really?** she wondered.

Later, Fu Gu found himself on a cliff overlooking the city. The adrenaline from the earlier fight still buzzed in his veins. He could feel it now—his Gojo Satoru template wasn't just about the abilities; it was reshaping him in subtle ways. He was starting to remember what it felt like to live without the weight of the world on his shoulders.
But there was still a balance to strike. As much as he enjoyed being the confident, playful powerhouse, he had to remember that this wasn't his world to dominate. The people here—Ayaka, Sara, Raiden—weren't his enemies or pawns. And he couldn't afford to lose sight of the fact that there were forces in Teyvat that could still challenge him.
Still, he was no longer the cautious, overly serious man he had been when he first arrived. His confidence was coming back, and with it, the urge to push his limits.
And speaking of limits...

Fu Gu's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden surge of elemental energy. Lightning crackled through the air, and he looked up to see Yae Miko approaching from a nearby shrine, her fox-like grin as mischievous as ever.
"You certainly made a show earlier," she said, her voice teasing. "It's not every day we see someone like you causing such a scene. Quite bold to take over Sara's fight like that."
Fu Gu tilted his head, grinning. "Bold? Maybe. But you know what they say—fortune favors the bold, right?"
Yae chuckled, her eyes narrowing. "You're certainly an interesting one. I've heard about your fight with the Shogun. Not many could stand their ground against her."
Fu Gu shrugged. "What can I say? I've got some tricks up my sleeve."
Yae's smile widened. "Oh, I'm sure you do. But I wonder... how long will those tricks keep you safe?"
Fu Gu raised an eyebrow at the subtle challenge in her tone. "Is that a threat, or are you just flirting with me?"
Yae's laughter rang out like a melody. "Neither. Just... curious."
Fu Gu's smirk returned. **Inazuma's getting more interesting by the day.**

As the sun began to set, Fu Gu couldn't help but feel the shift within himself. His old personality was returning, bit by bit, and with it came a new confidence in his abilities. No more tiptoeing around Inazuma's powerful figures—he was ready to take on whatever this world had to offer.
His journey wasn't just about survival anymore. It was about testing the limits of his strength, pushing boundaries, and living without fear.
The fun was only just beginning.
