Destined Entanglement {JJK X M! OC}

<{|Rapid Growth|}>

Among Artists, it's said that it is impossible for the Hand to advance faster than the Eye.

If you don't have an Eye that can judge quality, you can't create something of value with your Hand.

Many disciplines also believe the saying to be true. The rate of growth for people who possess the Eye eclipses those who don't.

Drake is practically forced to stand to the side as Yuji begins cooking, assaulting Todo at a speed twice as fast as before. Ducking under his attacks while simultaneously landing his own.

Drake: Amazing! |He suppresses an emerging Sukuna-esque smile to settle for a satisfied smirk.| I've never seen a Sorcerer with so much potential. You might not be ready yet, Yuji Itadori, but even I might have to watch my back when I'm finished with you!

Yuji grabs Todo and does a Judo throw to bring him to the ground. He throws a punch, but Todo literally uses his head to block it. He grabs Yuji's wrist and stands up, smiling like usual.

Todo: That's it. You're eatin' good, but you're not cookin' right. |He says, prompting a confused expression from Yuji.| Your Divergent Fist stems from the cursed energy flow left behind by your superhuman speed.

Drake takes a seat on a tree root, ready to watch Yuji grow even further with his hands clasped in front of him and a smirk on his face.

Todo: That's quite a technique! I'd say your average sorcerer wouldn't know what's going on. The behind your attack is nothing to scoff at either, or it would be if I was your average sorcerer! It's useless...against Special Grades.

Mahito's irritating grin flashes through Yuji's mind.

Todo: What now, my friend?

Yuji:....I'll apply my cursed energy at the exact moment my strike hits at full strength.

Todo: Good. Then why is your cursed energy delayed? |He asked, not expect him to answer.| It's because of how you flow that energy.

Yuji: Huh? Weren't we talking about about increasing the speed of flow?

Todo: Most sorcerers have to consciously make cursed energy flow. Like when you feel anger in your belly or a bad gut feeling, cursed energy nurtured on negativity is said to start from the belly and flow throughout the body.

Todo's body becomes coated in a aura of cursed energy as he demonstrates.

Todo: Starting from the belly, through the chest, the shoulders, arms, and to the fists. That's how cursed energy flows. Thinking about your own body as disparate parts is what delays your energy.

A look of revelation dawns on Yuji's face.

Todo: you're not wrong in trying to flow cursed energy, but that's just the first step. You can't get stuck there. The flow of energy for an elite sorcerer is difficult to read, but for different reasons than you. Do we think with our stomachs? Do we use our minds to express rage? Listen up, Itadori.

Drake raises his hands to block the uncontrolled smile on his face from sight, hiding the trademark mad smile of his mentor.

Drake: Go ahead and evolve, Yuji Itadori. I want to see how far you can go...

Todo: We exist in this world, with our entire mind, body, and soul. It's so obvious that everyone has taken that maxim for granted.

Yuji: Todo...Thank you. |The atmosphere around him changes as his cursed energy builds.| I think I get it now...
