Chapter 36: 35. Mage from Kyoto
Chapter 35
The second-year students of Tokyo Magic College turned out to be surprisingly nice people… individuals, not to mention Panda. While training with them, I quietly established communication with my classmates, after all, since the beginning of my admission, I mostly disappeared at training with Satoru Gojo, and now we trained in a friendly company, I even began to have breakfast as a rule with everyone, allowing myself to taste a couple of curiosities from my world, although from our entire company only Fushiguro knows about my otherworldliness, and as for training, for Maki and Toge my healing was just manna from heaven for training, one due to this received the opportunity to exhaust herself physically tens of times more, which I actively used with her sparring to complete my daily quests for weapon possession, and for Inumaki it was an opportunity to actively practice his damned technique, which unfortunately damaged his vocal cords and since his technique was extremely interesting to me, I copied it and after completing all the daily quests, simultaneously healing the others, I trained in my own way. I set for myself the goal of being able to use the cursed speech of Inumaki together with infinity and believe me, it was not a very pleasant training, because my head was literally splitting from them, it resembled a masochistic way to pump up a muscle, only in this case the brain, if not for the reverse technique, I would be a corpse or a vegetable.
- What are you preparing for that you train so recklessly? You put your life in danger every time. - Maki once asked me when we were sitting on the steps near the stadium.
- W-well, my reason may seem stupid to you. - I was in no hurry to name the reason.
- Well, as you wish, I will not pry. - the girl answered calmly, leaning her back against the wall.
- And you? What are you literally straining your veins for?
- I am going to become the head of the Zenin clan.
- But, you hate this clan. - I looked at the girl with bewilderment, and according to the canon, she ended up slaughtering the entire clan with her own hands.
- And you imagine how nice it will be to look at the twisted faces of these bastards when the one they despise stands above them.
- Yes, that would be funny. - I said with a smile, before adding. - Be sure to invite me to see it later.
- And what is it like to be in the Gojo clan?
- I don't know. - I answered with a shrug.
- You are from the Gojo clan, after all. - It was the girl's turn to look at me with bewilderment.
- AAA! - Somewhere in the background, another scream from Nobara was heard, who was thrown into the air by the panda. I still couldn't understand how the ability to fall correctly would help her in the upcoming competition.
- Ah, so I wasn't born into the Gojo clan, I literally just recently became Satoru Gojo's adopted sister. - Realizing what exactly confused the girl in my answer, I answered while watching my classmate fall from about the height of a three-story building.
- Do you think he'll be very offended if I hit him as his sister? - I asked Maki curiously.
- Pff, ha-ha-ha-ha! - the girl suddenly laughed. - So you're risking so much for this?
- What, isn't the goal to break the nose of the strongest mage of our time. - I was demonstratively offended by such a reaction.
- No, no, the goal is good and I'll even keep my fingers crossed that everything will work out for you. - the girl answered, still laughing, before getting up, clearly intending to return to training again, especially since her new victim appeared in the person of Megumi.
- Okay, don't forget to call me when you scrape Fushiguro off the wall. - Stopping pretending, she also stood up to return to training.

2018 August 15
Today the director of the Kyoto school arrived to discuss the upcoming competition.
The past month and a half were quite fruitful for my training, I developed especially well in terms of healing, which also served as a slight offense on the part of Kugisaki towards me. Although she was going to become stronger, she definitely did not expect that she would have to become a punching bag for Maki Zenin. At least that's how their training looked to me from the outside, and since I was constantly healing them, the girl received much more, she even complained that through our efforts she seemed to feel glimpses of the reverse technique, which, as for me, on the contrary, should be happy.
And what's no less important, somehow it just so happened that the three of us started going almost everywhere together. Just like now, we went together to the soda and snack machines.
"Can't they really increase the number of machines? Where's the variety?" Nobara complained, taking a can of soda out of the machine.
"I doubt it. After all, the number of manufacturers who are allowed access is very limited." Megumi answered her.
- Maybe it is limited, but you know, they could, for example, negotiate for a larger selection through those who can. - I expressed my opinion. - In general, you know, I recently received a payment and I think next time we go to the city, I will buy some small refrigerator and make a mini bar in my room.
- Are you really going to spend money on something like that? - Megumi was surprised.
- And why not. You know, it turns out that special-rank mages are paid a lot, for me such expenses would not even be felt.
- I don't want to admit it, but I feel envy. - Kugisaki reluctantly said.
While we were talking, two figures appeared in our field of vision. The girl was the spitting image of Maki, only she was dressed more femininely, and next to her was a huge muscular guy, I think and say about such people a mountain of muscles.
- Why are you here Zenin-senpai. - Fushiguro asked tensely.
- So this is Maki's sister? They have similar auras. - Nobara said next to me.
- How rude Fushiguro-kun. It feels like we don't know each other at all. Just call me Mai. - Mai Zenin answered with a wink at the end.
- These guys... Are they replacements for Okkotsu and the third-year students? - the guy who, like Mai, is a second-year student from Kyoto, and his name is Todo Aoi, asked with disdain.
- We were so worried about you that we came here with the principal. You had a classmate who died, right? Or not?
- And what does that mean? - Fushiguro asked with a neutral face, and at that moment I prepared myself to refrain from strangling this bitch.
- It's okay, some things are harder to express in words, right? I'll do it for you. - Mai began with a nasty grin. - "Vessel" may sound right, but...
- The main fact is that he was half a cursed monster, right? For such a third-rate person... to call him a shaman compared to you... I'm sure you feel disgusted, right?
- Didn't you feel better after his death? - Well, why the hell am I so kind? I could just rip her tongue out, I can still grow her a new one.
- Mai, give you free rein and you start talking nonsense. - the big guy spoke, clearly not appreciating the words of his partner. - I just want to know how worthy these guys are of replacing Okkotsu.
- Fushiguro, right? - the big guy addressed the wary mage.
- What kind of women do you like? - This question immediately threw my classmates off track, and in general, this Todo is a funny guy.
- Depending on your answer, I will beat you to death. - the guy spoke menacingly, while tearing his T-shirt and showing off his muscles. - If you're worthless, then I'll drag these third-year students out for an exchange.
- And by the way, my type is tall girls with huge boobs.
