Kanzaki noticed a subtle but measurable increase in both his physical condition and magic capacity.
It wasn't dramatic.
"So... basically the equivalent of ten more minutes of training?"
He scratched his chin thoughtfully.
Still, he could live with that.
He had only granted five entries yesterday, and his current number of 'workers'—people benefiting from his ability—was still small.
At this pace, as long as he kept recruiting capable individuals with growth potential, he'd be riding the momentum toward greatness in no time.
After morning training, it was back to class.
Before long, it was noon.
Just as Kanzaki was about to find Sona, Yuji suddenly stopped him.
"Kanzaki, I might have to transfer schools."
"To Jujutsu High?"
"Huh? How'd you know?"
"It'd be weird if I didn't."
Kanzaki replied casually, "You literally told me yesterday you were gonna consult with Gojo Satoru about learning Jujutsu techniques."
"Now you're saying you're transferring schools? Kinda obvious what happened."
Of course, there was something Kanzaki didn't say out loud.
Sukuna's finger wasn't just any cursed object—it was a legendary special-grade artifact. The fact that Yuji ate it and lived was already making waves in the jujutsu world.
Now that he had awakened an ability aligned with Sukuna's, there was no way the jujutsu higher-ups weren't taking action.
"Kanzaki, do you think I should take Gojo's offer and transfer?"
Yuji looked unsure. "I mean, I could just learn techniques without changing schools."
"I agree."
Kanzaki nodded, "Our diploma has more credibility than Jujutsu High's, anyway."
"Wow. That's... practical."
"Well, you're technically still a normal human. Gotta plan for a job after graduation."
Kanzaki took out two summoning flyers and shoved them into Yuji's hand.
"A certain sorcerer named Nanami once said—sorcerers are trash."
"For your future quality of life, it's best you plan an exit route."
"Report! Didn't catch that!"
"I mean: apply as an exchange student. Go train, come back when you're done, and graduate normally."
Yuji blinked.
"Wait, that's allowed?"
"Not hard at all."
Sona stamped the exchange form and handed it to Yuji.
She had a good impression of him. He was strong, reliable, and helped his classmates.
Supporting a student like this was easy for her.
"I'll handle coordination with Jujutsu High. If you ever want to return, just let me know."
"Thanks, President."
Yuji accepted the certificate with a grin and waved goodbye to Kanzaki and the others.
As he left, Sona glanced at Kanzaki beside her.
"You awakened his technique, didn't you?"
"Huh? How'd you figure that out?"
"There was quite a commotion in your club yesterday. Of course I followed up with Rias."
She and Rias had known each other for years—there were no secrets between them.
After comparing notes, she had confirmed the truth about Kanzaki's new power.
"It's strong, no doubt. But dangerous, too."
"Use it sparingly until you've got enough power to defend yourself."
"Thanks for the heads-up."
Kanzaki opened his system's entry vault and selected a common one.
"Want me to unlock your potential?"
"...I'll accept."
Sona pushed her glasses up and gave a subtle nod.
This... actually felt kind of nice.
[Name: Sona Shitori]
[Race: Devil]
[Strength: level 3]
[Entries: Administrator (Common), Pureblood Devil (Epic), Water Affinity (Epic), Overclocked Mind (Legendary), Unshakable Conviction (Legendary)]
[Administrator (Common): Slightly improves administrative and organizational skills.]
[Water Affinity (Epic): Increases compatibility with water element spells and speeds up mastery.]
[Overclocked Mind (Legendary): Activates a super-focused state during mental challenges, allowing time perception to slow and thinking speed to accelerate.]
[Unshakable Conviction (Legendary): Dramatically boosts resolve and motivation. Increases training efficiency by 300%, magic recovery by 100%, and personal charisma by 100% while pursuing one's dreams.]
As the sister of a Maou, Sona's setup was impressive. Two epic, two legendary—definitely luxurious.
Once Kanzaki activated her potential, her mana exploded. Streams of water swirled around her instinctively.
"Rias mentioned it yesterday, but the real effect is even more intense than I expected."
After adjusting to the surge of power, Sona turned to him.
"Thank you, Kanzaki. If I can get stronger, I'll have more say in the Underworld. It's a big help."
"No big deal. Think of it as tuition."
Kanzaki's gaze shifted to the other student council members nearby.
"Want me to awaken their potential too?"
Sona raised a brow.
"You're being awfully generous. You get something out of it?"
"Not really. I just don't have any decent sparring partners lately, so I thought I'd make some."
He played it off with a casual shrug.
She didn't fully believe him, but agreed anyway.
"Fine. Everyone will get strong— so there's really no harm for me here. When you've got time, spar with me too."
One by one, the student council gained common-tier entries. With six more 'workers' now activated, Kanzaki smiled.
"Let's all get stronger together."
Vice-President Shinra Tsubaki nodded, her spectral mirror returning to her body.
"We won't disappoint you, Kanzaki-kun."
You won't even get the chance to.
Sparring? He'd be tearing through their entries with his fists one by one.
Kanzaki returned to Sona's side.
"What? Something else?"
"It's time for class."
"...!"
Sona blinked. She had almost forgotten.
The joy of power-ups had completely pushed yesterday's request from Rias out of her mind.
"Please solve this."
She handed Kanzaki a test packet.
"I need to assess your academic level."
Time passed quickly.
Having gained favor from Sona thanks to helping unlock her potential, she became especially invested in Kanzaki's progress.
She even offered to tutor him after hours.
Naturally, Kanzaki declined.
If it had been magic training, he might've considered it. But academic theory? Nah.
After a long afternoon of classes, Kanzaki didn't head to the Occult Research Club.
Tonight, he had an interview lined up for the job he posted online. He had also already gotten permission to skip.
Before heading home, he made a detour to the next class.
"Kanzaki, what's up?"
Issei Hyoudou stood from his desk.
"Looking for another sparring session?"
Kanzaki shook his head.
"No. I came to give you a chance to power up."
"Uh... sorry, I'm not really interested in working out or anything. Plus, I'm kinda busy."
Issei waved his hands in protest.
"You spend your free time gaming and watching trashy porn clips. How is that busy?"
Kanzaki was about to convince him to train seriously, but Issei interrupted with a smug grin.
"Kanzaki, you're wrong."
He puffed his chest out proudly.
"Truth is, I've got a new girlfriend lately. Life's been... fulfilling."
Kanzaki narrowed his eyes.
"Amano Yuma?"
