Hi, Maki Zenin.

Last night, Keito felt too tired after his Domain Expansion to do anything with Nobara and simply bid her farewell before going to bed. The girl was already in his pocket, molding her into what he had in mind was simply a matter of time.

Now, clad in only his boxers and laying down on his bed, he thought of what he should do next. Either he continued to change Nobara and spent a lot of time with her, or he could get started on someone else.

Right now, the only two women aside from Nobara inside Tokyo Jujutsu College were Maki Zenin and Shoko Ieiri. From what he had heard, there were more women in the twin school, Kyoto Jujustu College but they were out of his reach. For now.

He could try to hypnotize Shoko Ieiri. From what he knew, the woman wasn't a fighter and should be even less of a threat than Nobara was. Her abilities were strictly limited to healing people with Reverse Cursed Energy.

But she had something much more dangerous; Satoru Gojo's friendship. They knew each other since their college days, and they frequently meet up outside of school with others past classmates.

Needless to say, but Keito wasn't prepared to face Satoru Gojo at all. Thus, one wrong move with Shoko and perhaps Gojo would learn of what he did, and then it'd be **** or something even worse. So no, Shoko Ieiri was out of the question for now.

That left Maki Zenin. The girl with abysmal Cursed Energy, but superhuman physical prowess. Truth be told, Keito really wanted to knock her down a peg or two but without his Cursed Technique, and with just Cursed Energy Reinforcement, he'd get beaten half to ****. She was that good.

Of course, what he had in mind wasn't anything close to an honourable one vs. one. It was more along the lines of greeting her, instantly using Domain Expansion and swiftly neutralizing her without giving her the opportunity to fight back.

But they weren't anywhere, they were surrounded by high-grades sorcerers. A Domain Expansion would basically be the equivalent of yelling into a megaphone 'I am doing something weird, come check it out.'

Which is why he was now walking towards the teachers' lounge. Instead of stealthily trying to use Domain Expansion, he could just openly use it if everyone knew he had one.

25 minutes later

"I gotta say, I'm impressed you have one at your age." Satoru Gojo said, standing in front of Keito. The duo were standing in a courtyard, with no one else in sight. "You can show it to me." Gojo said, taking off his blindfold and revealing his Six Eyes.

Keito nodded, "Very well then." Clasping his hands together, Keito muttered, "Domain Expansion : Glorifying Radiance."

In a second, a barrier was erected around them and they were transported into an alternate dimension. Gojo immediately used a Simple Domain and took a look around. He was standing next to a couch, surrounded by seemingly endless mirrors and Keito was standing on a floating platform 32 meters above him.

With a sign of his hand, Gojo beckoned Keito closer. The latter nodded, and the platform he was standing on gradually got closer to the ground. Keito was starting to sweat, maintaining the barrier wasn't easy at all.

"Well, like you thought, it's pretty rudimentary." Gojo commented, hands in his pockets. Keito was suddenly struck by how blue his eyes were. "I can see that you've clearly started to get the hang of your domain parameters, so kudos to you. But in a domain fight, you'd likely lose against anyone who can use a domain. There's work to be done on your refinement, casting speed, sure-hit potency and-"

The domain promptly broke, sending shards everywhere and bringing them back to reality.

"-domain duration. I give it a 2 out of ten, and that's already plenty for your first year of college. Megumi's domain is far from reaching yours." Gojo concluded his analysis, while Keito fell to his knees panting. Two Domain Expansions in two days in a row was the limit for regular people like him.

Gojo wished him luck and left, and Keito just laid down on the grass and breathed. Through the nose, out the mouth. Through the nose, out the mouth. He heard the sound of boots hitting the grass next to him.

"What do you think you're doing?" Maki Zenin asked, arms crossed and glaring at him. The Zenin was wearing her usual clothes, the traditional Jujutsu College uniform with a skirt that hid her ass but nothing more. From his position on the ground, Keito could only admire how beautiful she was.

"Hi, Maki Zenin."

Nonetheless, he was pretty frustrated right now. Gojo-sensei basically called his domain shit, and now he couldn't use it against Maki. It was a necessary step to ensure he wouldn't be bothered later down the line, but it irritated him. Unless...

Keito's eyes widened. Of course, why was he so obsessed with his domain? Because it gave him a 120% boost and made sure that his victims had no way to stop looking at the light. But while the boost was helpful, it wasn't necessary. Not at all.

Before she could say anything, Keito put his hands on the ground and jumped up, doing a backflip in the air and landing on his feet. Immediately, he assumed a martial art stance and brought his index and middle fingers forward, making the universal sign for 'come at me'.

"Let's have a spar, Maki-senpai."
