Chapter 3

Sensei Raze now has been established. It's time to see how the clans react. Suiryu knew how the Zenin worked, but was curious to know how they would act around him from this moment on. They sense something is off, but can't quite put their finger on it.

"So, the ladies won't be joining us?" Suiryu asked in his new, raspy voice. "Are you at least going to offer some refreshments?" he demanded of Naoya.

He laughed off the notion. "It appears you teacher hasn't been taught well," he snickered.

"I've been taught a lot better than you by the looks of it," he took his seat just as he got dagger eyes from the Zenin clan. Naoya was seated along with four rather strong members flanking him from both sides. Still, not an issue for him to say the least, but he knows he can't caught TOO much trouble… at least, not yet. He began to help himself to the sushi, as everyone ranted and raved about how good it was.

"I have never had fish like this before… it's delicate and yet nice and fatty, good oil… what kind is this?" asked Noritoshi.

He smirked to him. "Let's just say it's… divine fish." He snickered. "Besides, it doesn't matter what kind, as long as it doesn't kill you and it tastes great, it's a good fish"

He ate his fair share of the meat, yet still snickered to the notion. No one knew they were eating mermaid tail. It only made him laugh even more at the notion of the ideas that the table was full of men with their mouths full of mermaid ass!

"PPpppfffff!"

The table froze, as he couldn't hold back his snickering much longer. "What's so funny?" demanded one of the councilmen.

He waved off the laugh. "Sorry, something just tickled me for a moment…" and went back to the table. He was thrill to see some good sake was being offered and was quick to help himself, despite the odd glares he got from the councilmen.

"Raze, you shouldn't be drinking!" one managed to scold.

He paused as he glared at him. "Oh? Why is that? You do know I am a functional drunk"

"Hehe," came out of Gojo.

'Ah, this could be fun…' Suiryu decided to make a game, the objective, to make Satoru laugh so hard that something comes out his nose!

They were nearly done their meal when suddenly, Naoya announced. "We are here to carry out the punishment of one Mika Zenin. We are stating this now, so no one interferes."

The table was silent. Suiryu however smirked. "Oh? What did she do?"

Suddenly, the table stared at him oddly. "She has threatened the whole Zenin family!" Naoya protested. "We had designated survivors just in case of such an event…"

"Yeah, sure you did… so… how many of you have been punished when a woman is killed in your house hold?"

It grew too quite. Suiryu looked about and it appeared he stepped on a landmine. "Raze, we are not to judge the families for their actions within their own clan" Yaga said gently.

"Ah, that's why Mika was able to return here… Look, if I can say this, well. I suppose I can it appears I have already pissed off the room so here goes. You clans got to get off the family tit," he stated bluntly.

Once more, no one said a word, let alone moved. "You have been riding the coattails of your ancestors for so long, you've become blind in your own family ambition, believing you are king shit of shit mountain. Just because your family name is Zenin, or Kamo, or even Gojo, who gives a fuck at this point?"

"RAZE!" scolded the council.

"Hold on, I ain't done yet" he said. "Let me say something here for a moment. Zenin, you got issues to resolve, I get that. But they won't be resolved here on school grounds. The council may look the other way… but I won't. You come after Mika, granted, she doesn't need anyone's help. But God help you if you attack her. You attack MY students… that's an attack on ME. I am the last motherfucker you want to piss off. So, that is my first, last and only warning to you."

It was so silent, he could hear the sake trickle down his throat. He slammed his cup to the table as if he finished stating a point.

Naoya snickered. He couldn't stop himself from laughing aloud. "Are you… are you seriously threatening the three great clans!?" he cackled.

"Well, mainly you. Satoru and I have an understanding, and the soon to be head of the Kamo clan knows better. You're the slow learner here."

Once more he laughed aloud to the insult. "You really don't know your place do you? From what I can see, and tell, you lack curse energy. You're no better than the women who serve the men in our family, since that is where they are meant to do! For that matter, where the hell are you even from!?"

He was waiting for this. Suiryu got himself comfortable. "Canada." He said flat out.

"What?" the table demanded, even Gojo.

"Canada, I came from Canada." He said again and again. "You don't believe me?"

"There are no sorcerers in Canada" Yaga said offhandedly.

"Well aware, you do realize it took me forever to find this place. I grew up thinking there was something wrong with me, but that wasn't the case," Suiryu snapped back. In his off time he worked with Junpei on an origin story, this was the best one they could come up with. It sounded stupid, at the same time. It was plausible.

"Look, I am more than aware of that and the incident that caused it…"

"Incident?" the table asked.

'Like a wide mouth bass they took the bait' he thought. Suiryu nodded as he poured himself a drink. "This only happened a few hundred years ago, even with the barrier in place over Japan, there was still curse energy. So what happened was there was an upstart in Canada, tried to bring about another golden age of curse energy or something. So he found a way to capture all energy in the region, all of Canada and it would funnel into him, fueling his power. The problem was… he miscalculated and then… well… his jujutsu failed"

"Failed?" whispered Noritoshi.

"Yeah, failed, backfired is probably the better term here, but the problem was, that curse energy had to go somewhere. He took all of it out of Canada, he could have become Sukuna if he was able to take it all in. Yet since it went haywire, it went elsewhere. The closest living being next to him… a goose."

"PPPPPPFFFFFFHHHHHH!"

Ah, mount Satoru Gojo just erupted!

Suiryu smirked as he saw the rice coming out of his nose at this point, he had to turn away from the table and clean up. Yet Suiryu continued with the tale. "Wait, you meant to tell me… all the curse energy in Canada… went into a single goose?" one councilman demanded.

"No, ALL of their geese. If one goose had that much curse energy, there would be no Canada…"

Gojo couldn't stop now, he was on the ground laughing!

"Raze, that's enough…" Yaga scolded.

"But's it all true! You ever fought a goose? Those things will fuck you up! I know, they kept beating me when I was a kid… I got my curse energy from them. My family was piss poor, father hunted the geese as something to eat. It's pretty much all what my mother ate and some how, I got curse energy from it. Since then, those fuckers attacked me because of it!"

"I need to excuse myself…" Gojo said meekly as he left the room oddly.

"Huh? Anyway, so yeah, got curse energy that way. Traveled a while until I found Japan, learned a lot more about my power while I was here and got a teaching job because of it. So, yeah…" he said in a rather non serious tone.

The heads of the family stared at him with disbelief. "You are a greater fool than you look!" Naoya snickered.

"And you have the best resting rat bitch face that I have ever seen," Suiryu replied.
