Bony Boy goes to JJK World
-Lots of spoilers on JJK read at your own risk.-
With her left arm on her hair and the right on her hips, the woman winked at Ainz."You're not a natural curse, right? Tell me, what type of woman do you like?" She blew a kiss toward the undead.
They stood there staring at each other silently. The noise of the wind blowing into the room from a broken window was the only thing they could hear until the woman took a step forward.
Ainz felt his cursed energy spike for a moment. His fist closed while his attention moved from the woman to the cursed spirit she had around her. 'Is her a shikigami like Junpei's technique or something else entirely?' Ainz asked himself.
Junpei held his breath as soon as he saw her. He felt his hands trembling and his muscles tingling. 'Who the hell is that? Her cursed energy... she's more terrifying than Mahito.' Junpei thought as saw the amount of power she was displaying to them.
The woman crushed the stones caught beneath her feet. 'He's focusing a good amount of cursed energy... but he hasn't attacked which means...' She thought as she saw the cursed energy around Ainz's body flowing defensively.
"No need to be shy. What kind of woman do you like?" She asked again making Ainz's cursed energy falter a bit.
The woman took another step. 'He's curious too. Just like me.' She thought as she started smiling.
Junpei moved his feet forward a bit, he tried to get in between his master and the woman, but the boy couldn't force himself to stand in the way of such powerful cursed energy. It took the courage he had to just bring his shikigami out.
Ainz sensed Junpei's hesitation. He positioned himself in front of the boy. The undead used his hand to clear some dust from his shoulder and said. "I'm not sure that's something I'm willing to share with someone I just met. Why don't we start with just names?"
The undead overlord opened his arms exposing his chest. With a steady and clear motion, he displayed the grandeur of his stature when compared to other curses by cladding his body with a dense barrier. "I'm Ainz Ooal Gown. " Ainz said as a feeling of dread and despair fell over Junpei.
"Yuki Tsukumo. Now that you know my name you can answer my question." Yuki said as she replied with the same conviction.
The shikigami she had wrapped around a dense barrier that clad her body and the cursed energy she released pushed rocks and dust away from her.
Ainz's eyes flashed as he noticed the cursed energy clashing. He felt a sense of calm confidence coming from it as Yuki simply watched his moves. "Still a little bit too soon. Why do you even want to know that? " Ainz asked after upping his cursed energy a bit more.
"Don't worry about it. It's just to get an idea of your personality. How about the boy next to you? What's your type?" Yuki replied. Unlike Ainz, she lowered her cursed energy output before tilting her head.
"I'm with Lord Ainz on this one. You're being inappropriate." Junpei said.
Ainz moved his feet closer together and relaxed his posture. He also removed the animosity from his cursed energy but still kept the output high.
"You're both no fun at all. Just like Geto." Yuki said.
Ainz's eyes flashed red. 'Just like Geto? Did he send her?' Ainz thought as the woman started approaching them. She lowered her cursed energy output even more to the point where it could only be seen as a small outline protecting her.
"If you don't want to answer yet that's fine. We can talk about other things. For example..."Yuki placed her finger on her lips. "Why is a Special Grade Curse in a random location like this one?" Yuki asked as she moved he finger to point at Ainz.
"We're on a training camp for Junpei. " Ainz said as he nodded toward the boy behind him. "Would you tell me what someone like you is in a random place like this?"
Ainz widens his stance again. The animosity present in his cursed energy started to rise as his mind focused on one detail. 'Special Grade Curse. If she is with Geto why not call me by my name?' He thought.
Yuki smiled. "Me? I'm just wandering around the world traveling. Learning. The things a person does. Nothing too crazy. I just came over here after I sensed your power." Yuki said as she took a deep breath, the sweat going down her spine was starting to become too cold, even for her. "This cursed energy density was abnormal so I had to check it out."
"And you have your shikigami out just for fun?" Ainz asked.
"Not at all what you think. " She snapped her fingers making the shikigami go back to being simple cursed energy. "You can never be too careful when you're a small and weak woman like myself. " Yuki said as she pressed her hand over her chest.
Ainz moved to the side and allowed Junpei to take a look. "If you're weak then I'm completely powerless. " Junpei said as he called back his shikigami.
"Indeed. I have met only two other people with that kind of power in them." Ainz said. He closely watched the flow of cursed energy that surrounded Yuki. Unlike his flow, which looked more like flooding taking over the city, her's seemed to bubble from inside her body, like boiling water.
"Is Gojo among the strong people you met?" She asked.
"Yes. Small world, huh?" Ainz answered.
"What about that Yuta guy? He was strong too. " Junpei added. He was now much more comfortable. Both Ainz and Yuki had pulled back their display of dominance and the mood had become much brighter.
"There is him too. " Ainz said. He looked around him before continuing. " You mentioned Geto. Do you know him? "
"Oh yes. I know him back when he was still a teenager. Shame he died though." Yuki said. She looked to the side and saw a bunch of scraps of metal on the floor.
Yuki snapped her fingers and recreated her shikigami which flew over the scraps and landed on it. She then walked over and set on top of it.
'Died? Did he fake his death or perhaps?' Ainz thought as he remembered Geto having a huge scar on his forehead. 'Was he attacked and left for dead?'
Ainz snapped his fingers and created two chairs. Both were carved out of a reddish stone which was warm to the touch with an intricate design of a snake eating its tail placed on the chair's armrest."What a tragedy. Was he as strong as you are? I would have liked to meet him." Ainz said.
The chairs quickly caught Yuki's attention. She looked at them like a kid would look at candy, with a special glow in her eyes.'He can create things from cursed energy? He's getting more and more... interesting.'
"I don't think you would want to meet him. " Yuki said. She imagined Ainz and Geto having a fallout causing her to start laughing. "He was crazy about collecting cursed spirits with his technique. If you showed up he might try to capture you."
"Capture me?" Ainz asked as the gears inside his mind started turning. "How come?" Half listening and half scheming, Ainz hoped for an explanation.
"Cursed Spirit Manipulation. That's his technique." Yuki explained. "If he found you there is absolutely no way he wouldn't try something."
Ainz felt a shiver run down his spine. He pictured the many moments Geto touched him. 'That's concerning. Why hasn't he tried anything thought?' Ainz thought as something didn't feel right.
"I don't think he would be able to take over me that simply. " Ainz said proudly. Thinking that whatever the reason was, he was now aware that he could not let Geto touch him again.
"I know, but not impossible under the right circumstances. " Yuki said as she started to lean in a bit. "But now that we have become closer. Tell me, what is your type?"
Ainz shook his head as he felt the need to chuckle a bit. "You're not gonna let this go are you?"
"No." She said as he entangled her hair around her fingers.
Ainz placed his hand on his chin."My type? If I think hard enough I think I would like women who have... big... personalities." Ainz said while hoping that his emotional suppressant kicked in.
Yuki bursted out laughing. "Big personality? That's a good one." She said while using her arms to push them together.
Jupei couldn't take his eyes off Yuki."You have very good taste, my Lord." Junpei said as he tried to look less guilty.
Ainz moved his hand making the chair where Junpei was sitting spin around. "Still I don't know what that tells you about me. " Ainz said.
Yuki laughed a bit when she noticed the boy going around and around. "Don't worry. I know all I need to know about you. You and I are cool." Yuki said as she gave him a thumbs up.
"Cool? Didn't expect to be cool with a human. But we never know..." Ainz said.
Ainz's eyes flashed as a thought entered his mind. "Why did you ask me such a human question in the first place? I'm a cursed spirit and made out of just bones." Ainz said.
"It's because you were a human once, right? Your cursed energy is a bit too soft to be a natural curse." Yuki said.
'Natural curse? Geto didn't say anything about that.' Ainz thought.
Ainz leaned in toward Yuki."What does a natural curse look like? " Ainz asked.
Yuki placed her hand over her chin. "I don't know exactly." She replied. "We know how natural curses come to be, but there's no consensus as to what they are. "
Yuki crossed her legs and lifted her index finger. "Just like we don't know what humans are, we don't know what curses are, but I could tell right away that there was something different in you. " Yuki pointed at Ainz. "You feel a bit too human to be a curse. Therefore you must be a vengeful spirit. That's why I choose to talk with you."
Junpei's brain finally recovered from the ordeal only to be left with a huge doubt. "What is a vengeful spirit?" Junpei asked as soon as he felt appropriate.
"It's a human that died and then became a cursed spirit. Did you understand, boy? " Yuki replied.
"Hmm..." Ainz contemplated before answering. "You could say I have memories that point to that direction. There was a time I was human, but I also feel like I'm different... somehow." Ainz said.
Ainz lifted his hand and started staring into it." The differences from cursed spirit to vengeful spirit, huh? I didn't know that people cared about me, the other jujutsu sorcerers didn't care to ask me anything they just attacked. " Ainz said.
Yuki leaned back on her improvised seat. "There are some differences, but it doesn't change much for jujutsu sorcerers. We usually just exorcise them. I'm a little crazy so I got curious, the others must have been more normal and just attacked you." She lifted her hand high into the air." But if you were human once there's something you need to know. "
"There's no need to act like a curse. Not at all." Yuki said with a somber tone. "You can live however you want."
'No need to act like a curse. ' Ainz repeated the words inside his mind. 'Is she trying to make me change sides?'
"So you're on the human side then. Are you with Gojo and the other jujutsu sorcerers? " Junpei asked as he started to feel a lot more comfortable with the situation.
"Yes. I'm with them, but I don't go around exorcising curses all of the time." Yuki said. "I have a dream I'm working toward." Her eyes started glowing in the same way they did when she saw the chairs Ainz had summoned. The undead quickly took note of it.
"Interesting. I used to have dreams before, but now that I became aware of jujutsu I have been doing everything I can just to survive." Ainz said as he remembered his guild back in Yygdrasil. The crazy nights grinding for a 0.001% chance drop from a boss brought him some PTSD, but the time spent with the homies more than made up for it.
"What is your dream?" Ainz asked with a bittersweet taste in his mouth, even though he was undead.
"A world without cursed spirits. " Yuki said with an excited voice. Just speaking about it brought butterflies into her stomach and made her fingers twitch a bit.
Ainz's eyes flashed red. Unlike hers, his mind went to a darker path. "Isn't that the same as what the jujutsu sorcerers want? Are you searching for a better way to exorcise curses?" His cursed energy slowly started to spike just like when he met her until she quickly raised her hand.
"No." Yuki shook her head and started to explain her thoughts." I'm sure that if I spend the rest of my life going around killing curses many people will be saved, but that's it. Curses will still show up and nothing would change. " After each sentence, her head dropped a little lower until she was staring at the floor. "I'm looking for a more permanent fix." She said before slowly looking back at Ainz.
Ainz placed his hand on his chin and quickly came up with a solution. "Curses come from the cursed energy that leaks from the non-sorcerers. You'll have to kill them or turn them into sorcerers to do it. " Ainz responded.
Yuki's eyes widened as Geto and Ainz started to look alike. "What a Deja Vu. One of my friends came up with the exact conclusion you just did." Yuki said.
"It's not that hard to figure out. That's the only two ways to do it." Ainz said as he waved his hand to emphasize the point.
"But... what if we get rid of cursed energy entirely?" Yuki asked with a cheeky smile on her face.
"Impossible. " Ainz said as his eyes flashed red. His mind began to expand thanks to the possibilities. "You would need to interfere directly with the human soul not to mention any other details that we simply don't know. Has that ever ha-"
"Toji Fushiguro. " Yuki said interrupting Ainz. She was now holding her palm open toward Ainz with an unsettling smile. "He was born with not cursed energy at all." She moved her hand to form a zero.
"No cursed energy? How is that possible?" Ainz asked as all his understanding of cursed energy began to shift. The stable ground he had was about to collapse.
'Geto didn't mention this at all.' Ainz thought.
"I'm not talking about having little amounts of cursed energy. "She said while peeking through her fingers" I'm talking about having zero cursed energy. No cursed energy at all." Yuki explained with an excited voice.
Both she and Ainz became unstable as the possibilities multiplied inside their minds. Junpei was the only one left out and was scratching his brain to keep up with the conversation.
"That goes against everything I know. Where is this man? I want to study him." Ainz said after getting up. He was ready to teleport to wherever he needed to be.
"He's dead, unfortunately. You can thank Gojo for that." Yuki said.
"What a shame! " Ainz said as he started arguing with himself about the possibilities. "Are you sure about it though?"
"100% sure. " Yuki said after taking a deep breath.
After both Ainz and Yuki kept quiet for a few moments, Junpei took the opportunity he was waiting for."No cursed energy? Wouldn't that make him weak? Was he any different from a regular person?" He asked.
"Yes. " Yuki said. "He had a body hundreds of times more powerful than a regular person. I would classify him as a Special Grade without cursed energy. He could kill you in an instant, boy."
Ainz's eyes flashed red. "Interesting. It seems my knowledge of cursed energy is lacking more than I thought."
"Don't be like that, Ainz. I'm still learning too." Yuki said. "My dream is to spend my life exploring that possibility and maybe even realize it someday. I believe that humans will evolve past cursed energy one day."
"Well. I guess I wouldn't mind hearing about your research from time to time. " Ainz said.
Yuki jumped off her seat and placed one of her arms around the undead. "Friends?" She said while keeping giving Ainz a bro hug.
Ainz pushed her off of him. "Yes."
"I never thought I would have a cursed spirit as a friend. Feels strangely good." Yuki said as she went over to Junpei."Friends?"
Junpei studdered a bit before getting up and offering a handshake. "Ye- y- s- Yes."
Yuki bursted out laughing and grabbed Junpei. She gave him a strong hug and then started to walk back to her seat. "Don't be so shy, boy."
Ainz noticed Junpei's reaction and with a voice full of malice he asked. "Are you not gonna ask him his type of woman?"
"My- hmmm- type?" Junpei tried to say as his hands started to sweat and his voice started cracking
"Ha ha ha. " Yuki bursted out laughing. "You don't have to say anything, boy. I know it's me. "
Junpei sat down on his chair with a serious expression. His heart started racing and his face turned red. He slowly turned away from them.
"What about you? Do you have any dreams?" Yuki asked as her attention went back to Ainz.
"I don't know. " Ainz replied. "I have a few goals if that's good enough for you."
"Goals?" Yuki asked while tilting her head.
"I want to master my Domain. " Ainz said as his cursed energy started to peak.
"Hmmm... Domains are a bit tricky... but I can help." Yuki said. "Under a few conditions though."
Ainz's eyes flashed red as he finally realized what she came there for. "You'll have to tell me all about what you've been up to since you manifested. " Yuki said with a smile while Ainz felt a bit stupid.
A week later in Tokyo, Jujutsu High.
Gojo was sitting down with the other jujutsu sorcerers supervising the Sister School Event. In the room was principal Yaga, principal Gakuganji, first-grade sorcerer Mei Mei and semi-first-grade sorcerer Utahime; outside the room was Yuta and a few semi-grade jujutsu sorcerers from the Zennin clan.
The tension in the air began to rise when Todo Aoi, one of the Kyoto students, was able to take the lead and exorcise the first curse making one of the talismans they had on the wall burn with a red color. After that, the students stopped looking for the curses and began a free for all.
Everyone was watching the event on a screen thanks to Mei Mei's cursed technique. All the students from the first, second, and third years were participating in a race to exorcise as many curses as possible, all except for Yuta who, for the sake of security, was "still abroad".
"Look at that. If I didn't know better I would say the Kyoto kids are trying to kill my beloved student, Yuji." Gojo said with a sarcastic tone. "You wouldn't know anything about that principal Gakuganji?"
"That's just their enthusiasm. " Gakuganji said. "They were so surprised once they heard the event was brought back that they can't hold back."
"I see. " Gojo said as he adjusted his blindfold.
"I'm surprised about that too. " Utahime said. "I heard Tengen himself gave the order. I wonder why?"
"That was because of me. " Gojo said as he pointed at himself. "I asked him to bring it back."
"You met with Tengen?" Utahime said surprised.
"Must be because of the humiliation you suffered at the hands of that Special Grade a while ago. " Gakuganji said.
Utahime turned to Gojo. "That report was true? I thought it was some sort of birthday present for me." She said as she remembered laughing her ass off while reading it.
"I still don't agree with this. We shouldn't have done it." Yaga said. "The life of those students is on the line right now, Gojo. If the Special Grade shows up I hope you can end it today."
Gojo nodded. " Don't worry, Tengen and I have some plan cooked up. I got this." Gojo said.
"Don't forget that we have Yuta outside too. " Gakuganjji said as he stroked his bear. "With so many strong jujutsu sorcerers here I'm sure we can exorcise it with no problem."
'If Ainz shows ups, Gojo will have to fight it. The others will move fast and secure the students... killing Itadori is becoming harder by the second...I'm too old for this.' Gakuganjji thought as he asked for more tea.
"Your trust brings tears to my eyes, gramps. " Gojo said while smiling.
'Damn, geezer. How did you learn about Yuta's return? I'm sure I told them to keep quiet.' Gojo thought.
"Yuta's back? This will be much-"
All the talismans burned a bright blue fire at the same time, interrupting Utahime.
"They exorcised all the curses?" Utahime said.
"Red is for Kyoto and blue is for Tokyo. " Mei mei said as she got up and started using her crows to investigate. "Since Maki uses cursed tools we made it so that unrecognized exorcism would burn blue." The video fee they were watching cut out as soon as one of the crows saw Junpei.
Mei Mei streched her arms and said. "Someone killed all of my crows."
"Godammit! Something's wrong here! " Yaga screamed as he got up and punched the table.
"Our priorities are to find the students and evacuate. " Yaga said before pointing to Gojo. "Gojo! You're on curse-killing duty. If you find that Ainz you exorcise him."
"Yes, sir!" Gojo said.
"Everyone else. Let's go." Yaga said before they started to leave their seats.
Gojo teleported outside and looked around him. He saw a huge veil where the event was taking place. 'That' not a normal veil.' Gojo thought as he saw strange markings around the structure. His instincts told him that Ainz had something to do with it.
Inside the veil, flying over the location Ainz had the same feeling as Gojo. They didn't know it but had the barrier not stood in the way. They would be looking directly at each other.
"Are you sure that Gojo or the other Special Grade won't get in, Lord AInz? " Junpei asked as he threw the body of a crow on the floor.
"There's no way they can. To break the veil they would need to destroy the cursed tool I made to form it." Ainz replied. "I placed it outside and used a simple order. Even with his power, he's going to take too long."
"I see. " Junpei said. "Are you sure you wanna do this? Following Geto's plan doesn't seem like a very good idea."
Ainz lifted his arms and used his cursed energy to create a barrier around himself. The density and quality of the barrier were significantly lower than he expected. 'My output is around 40%... what's going on?' He thought.
"Don't worry about it. We're not gonna kill the kids, just distract the jujutsu sorcerers until Jogo can get what he came for." Ainz said as he tried to increase the output. "After that, we leave."
"And Hanami? What if she's in trouble?" Junpei asked while confused as to why Ainz is trying to show off on the air.
"We can't reveal too much to Geto yet. Aid her if you can, but stick with the plan for the most part." Ainz said as he gave up and landed near the boy.
"And if I run into Yuji?" Junpei asked.
"Beat him up and bring him some. I want to talk with Sukuna." Ainz 's eyes flashed red.
