"Once again, I apologise for our first meeting. I've been more out of it than I hoped." I bowed my head to everyone.
"Please forget my rude behavior of that day."

They waved me off and I smiled, finally not feeling as guilty about just disappearing when the second years appeared the last time.

"Uhm...so ~ This is kind of harsh bullying from who's supposed to be my allies..." Yuuji grumbled while holding a picture frame with a black bow on top.

You know, those frames you put up at someone's funeral with their picture in it.

"Shut up. Stay like that for a while." Kugisaki huffed.

I snickered loudly at the scene.

"Shut up! You're not any better!" Kugisaki yelled at me.

I was kneeling with my arms raised high.
"Yeah, but Satoru is at fault!"
I huffed out.
"he took my phone and deleted all your contact infos!"

"He's someone who'd do that..." Megumi sighed.

"Now, now. They explained their situation already, so just forgive them." Panda said.

Yuuji looked at the Panda shocked.
"It spoke!"

I snickered, trying to keep still, not wanting to feel Nobara's wrath because I left the position she forced me into.

"Shake sushi, shake sushi." Inumaki added and the look on Yuuji's face was irreplaceable!

"Come again?" he asked, comeplety lost.

"Inumaki-senpai is a spellcaster, wasn't he? That's why he speaks in Suhsi ingredients!" I hummed with a big grin.

"Salmon." the off-white haired male nodded.

"So you weren't too out of it that time?" Megumi sighed before turning to Yuuji.
"It's a kind of exorcism that amplifies the power of words and forces them on people. So he limits what he says."

"So if he tells someone 'go die', they die?" Yuuji asked in awe.

"It's not that convenient of a thing." Panda started explaining.
"It depends on the user. Strong words have a large recoil, and worst case they come right back to the user. Limiting his vocabulary mostly protects himself."

"Huh." Yuuji nodded in understanding.
"So, why can you talk, senpai?"

"Hey, you can't just ask Pandas why they can speak." I scolded the pink haired boy jokingly and he nodded while putting away the frame as I let my arms fall.

"Yuuji." We looked over and saw Maki standing over us.
"Give back my Slaughter demon."

I felt him stiffen next to me.
Didn't he break it during the fight against the special grade?
Uh, oh-

"Gojo-sensei...has it..." He lied through his teeth and I had to bite my lip to not start laughing again.

Maki clicked her tongue.
"That blindfolded bastard."
Then she turned to me.
"What about my sword then?"

"Sword?" I tilted my head in question as I remember Satoru giving me that cheap blade.
Wait, that was hers? Such a cheap blade?!
"Uh... You mean this?"
I asked as I put my hand into my shadow and pulled out the sword.

She took one took at it and frowned.
" No, that's not it. What's that cheap crap? "

"I knew it!" I threw it to the ground and snapped with ease.
"That bastard! Giving me this bullshit!"

"But you managed to kill a curse with it, didn't you?" Yuuji asked meekly and I looked at him.

"Yeah, because I coated it with a shit-ton of cursed energy!" I huffed out and stood up.
"Saya, give me my axe."
