Zenin clan:
Inside the quiet zenin residence, a boy about 18 years of age was walking around the compound with his messy black hair and he wore kimono with the zenin symbol.
He had a lean physique and quiet a plain face actually.
He was Sugaku Zenin, some random parentless guy in the zenin clan.
'Yep that's me.'
I sighed in exhaustion as I remembered the whole 15 years of my life.
The constant avoidal of Naoya, sometimes making it worse for the twins, mizing Ogi's shampoo with depilatory cream, putting laxatives in Naoya's food etc.
Good old times.
I still remember Naoya's face when the laxatives kicked up during our training session.
And remember that happened when we were 10 or something so yeah quite embarassing.
Infront of all the girls too.
And about Ogi?
He is completely embracing his bald head now.
'The light reflecting from can scorch your eyes.'
And now all of that felt like a dream when I look back at it.
But fortunately it's all real.
'I mean reincarnation is something I never expected.'
Yeah lies, I completely expected it.
Matter of fact I prayed for it.
Another matter of fact I prayed for Jugram's ability.
'This is my fifth round.'
I have been walking around the compound and just finished my fifth round.
Yeah I have a habit of doing this when I'm in deep thoughts.
As I was walking with deep contemplation in my eyes I heard a shout.
"Stop!"
I immediately looked towards where it came from.
And there I saw two little kids getting beaten up by a teen about my same age.
The kids were obviously Maki and her sister Mai.
And the guy beating them was-
Naoya Zenin.
The woman beater.
The misogynist.
The type of guy to kill himself if he finds out he came out from a woman.
Matter of fact maybe he really didn't.
I could see that Maki was on the ground getting stomped whereas Mai was trying her best to beg Naoya.
I just stared at them with a neutral face.
'I mean that monkey deserved it, how dare she try to copy my glorious kingToji.'
So what if she's a kid? She shouldn't have been born with a heavenly restriction then.
'Her father needs to try better, one of his daughter has no cursed energy and the other one uses it for making rubber bullets.'
'Matter of fact I believe his stuff comes watered down cuz that's a low quality gene.'
Yeah I know they're weak because of their twin bond or something but it doesn't mean a guy can't joke about it.
'Well let's hope no bones are broken.'
I sighed and turned around to leave before he recognised me.
I don't want to join them and get a beating along with two monkeys.

Zenin clan, hallway:
I kicked and kicked until the girl threw up blood but I wasn't done yet.
The other one kept begging me to stop as she gripped onto my leg tightly.
"Fucking monkey!"
I started kicking at full and before I knew it the girl was unconscious.
Hmm?
'She exceeded her previous record.'
Something to celebrate about.
So as a gift, no food for about 3 days.
That wouldn't kill them, would they?
Or should I make it 2?
Whatever I'll try 3 first and if they can't survive it I will lower the time.
What a kind guy I am.
"Hmph! Take this monkey and leave half-monkey."
I ordered and left.
I had more business to settle as I remembered a certain face.
'Sugaku..'
My face hardened when I thought back to our childhood.
He was a bright guy with no bad qualities whereas I was the complete opposite.
But I know what is hidden behind that mask.
A psychopath.
Quite hypocritical isn't it?
But if you knew his true thoughts you will believe me.
And I despised him.
I tried every way to get back at him but it all backfired.
'My father said Sugaku was quite talented but by how much?'
More than me?
Or is it more than that kid with the ten shadows.
Or that depressed cursephile?
I didn't include both Toji and Satoru Gojo because there's no way he is reaching upto them.
I inherited the projection sorcery from my clan whereas he...
Wait what was his cursed technique again?
Whatever it doesn't matter which technique he has I can still beat him.
'I will come back here tomorrow, same time to beat her up again.'
And about that half-dead monkey's health?
Do I look like I care?
'A flawed copy born due to Ogi's mistake.'
I knew he was a guy who preferred ancient traditions but why can't he use a condom?

Hei training grounds:
I stood at the centre of the arena and at the other side a muscular man with long spiky black hair stood with a stoic expression.
"Are you ready Sugaku?"
He asked with a heavy tone which set the atmosphere of the battle.
"Yes."
I didn't fumble with my words because he hated it.
However he didn't move as stood there while keeping a gaze on me.
'Want me to go first?'
Don't mind if I do.
Cursed energy spread throughout my body as I shot out in a blinking speed and immediately appearing infront of him.
'-10'
I focused all of it on my left fist as I swung a left hook towards his head.
But that was all for naught as a fist made from
cursed energy appeared behind him and punched towards me.
I jumped back and the fist followed with extreme speed.
It was Jinichi's technique and oh god was it good.
'1/2'
I brought my right hand forward and the moment it made contact with the fist, the fist divided into two small ones.
'-10'
And before my cursed energy lost contact with them I lowered their cursed energy which made them disappear.
But Jinichi was still calm as ever because ten more fists rushed towards me.
'Fuck.'
And more.
I ran along the edge of the stage while avoiding those fists.
'-10'
I made a fist vanish before it smashed into my abdomen.
I then found an opening through his fist and took my chance.
It may be a trap but who cares?
Luckily for me it seems he was taking it easy and was purposely giving me some loopholes.
I reinforced my legs with cursed energy and rushed towards him again.
And I focused all the remaining cursed energy on my left fist.
'-100'
He looked at me with a stoic expression and did not try to defend himself even while my fist was going for his right ribs.
It made contact.
And nothing happened.
All it did was spread my cursed energy on that area of his body.
"That's all?"
He seemed unimpressed considering that I wasted all my cursed energy on that.
And truth be told I was using all my remaining will power to stand.
"Your cursed technique mathematics is quite good but you don't know how to use it efficiently."
He continued.
"I see..."
I agreed and raised my left hand again.
Jinichi didn't even spare a gaze considering that I had wasted my cursed energy.
I reached for his right chest and simply-
Flicked his ribs.
The sound of bones crushing and blood spilling resounded throughout the room.
Needless to say I had to spend the whole day in the infirmary.
Well it was just a 10 minute spar and we did not go all out.
I also held out until the time was up and didn't get knocked out.
That was a win for sure.
'His ugly face would make a good holloween costume.'
I totally wasn't going to skin him alive.
