At this time Jake is getting ready to go to school. He picked up Night and said with a reluctant smile, "I'm sorry for concerning you, I am alright, when I get back, I will find time to create an excellent set of armour and weapons for you."
——————— Dividing Line ———————
Some time has passed and Jake has come to school, he is sitting in his seat and thinking to himself.
'I don't have to wait for Yuji Itadori to become Sukuna's vessel, I should be able to become the vessel, then kill Sukuna's soul in the finger separately, effectively weakening him and possibly killing him,' Jake thought to himself, 'Before that however, I will try to clear the Great Devil's Nest with only wooden weapons, under maximum suppression, and without using cursed energy or magic to fully integrate my [Divine True Martial Arts] Skill into my instincts, as I haven't actually had a good fight just using martial arts, mostly relying on the weapons, armour, cursed energy and techniques, and my stats when fighting.'
At this time, Ryou and Shingo have entered the classroom and noticed Jake, they rushed over after they saw the deep bags in his eyes, his sad expression, and his extremely pale complexion.
"Yo, Jake are you alright, what happened, why haven't you come to school, are you hurt or something?" Ryou asked Jake extremely concerned.
"It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it," Jake tried to reassure them but his eyes contained deep sadness and regretfulness.
"Alright, but if you need anything, just ask," Ryou told him as he could tell Jake wouldn't say anything.
As Ryou was talking to Jake, Kaede came in and also asked if Jake was okay. A while later Yukine also asked Jake.
Some time has passed and Ms Sawada is taking the role. After she finished taking the role, she said, "
Now then, since you've checked your calendars for the year, you know next week we will be holding off campus study, are you all ready for that."
The students replied that they are ready.
Jake asked Yukine, "Off campus study, I didn't receive a schedule, can you please tell me about it?"
"We'll all be camping together for 2 nights Jake, so we can better learn how to acclimate to new environments," Yukine answered Jake.
"Okay, thank you Yukine," Jake thanked.
"Now for the moment you've been waiting for, I'm going to announce the teams, each is divided into four," Ms Sawada said, before she announced the teams.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
A little time has passed and the class has separated into groups.
"We're both in team 5, I'll be counting on you," Kaede said to Jake.
"Yeah, I will count on you too" Jake replied.
Akira placed his hand on Jake's shoulder, saying, "You're fortunate you know, I'm in your group too."
"Okay, nice to see you again Akira," Jake responded absentmindedly.
"There's no need to be so formal around me you know, simply think of me as your classmate and friend Akira, or you may call me the young noble-," Akira continued before the last member of the team blocked his mouth with her hands, pushing him away while saying, "Someone needs to give your intro an outro."
"You're so mean to me!" Akira said.
"Ignore him, he's harmless, the name is Rin Kanzaki by the way, a pleasure to be working with you," Said the last member of the team.
Rin Kanzaki is a beautiful young girl with waist-length black hair that is tied in a ponytail, she has pale purple eyes, and is quite tall.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Rin," Jake replied with a weak smile.
"Now I see, no wonder so many people are talking about you," Rin said.
"What?" Jake asked.
"Nothing, just ignore me, anyway if that moron would let others talk for a change, maybe I'd call him by his preferred title," Rin continued.
"Oh indeed, then feel free to call me the young noble, my dear," Akira said.
"But, since he's acting that way, it's never going to happen," Rin teased.
"How come and why?" Akira asked distraught.
"We've got a pretty lively team here, I'm so looking forward to the off campus study," Kaede said.
"I don't have a rucksack or anything for the trip, so I will have to go shopping to get it," Jake said lazily.
"Well, we're going to come too," Kaede said to Jake with a smile.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
Some time has passed and Jake, Ryou, Shingo, Kaede, Rin, and Kaori have just arrived at the mall.
"Really, thank you for having me," Kaori said to the others while bowing.
"Never ever did I dream I'd get to hang out with Kaori!" Shingo said with surprise.
"We're not just here to hang out, todays about helping Jake get supplies for the camping trip," Kaede said to Shingo.
"I'm sorry to take up everyone's time," Jake apologised.
"Not at all, a shopping trip with new friends, sounds like a lot of fun," Kaori replied.
Ryou tapped Jake with his elbow, saying, "Never in a million years did I dream you'd be close friends with Kaori."
"He's right, I mean she's the chairman's daughter, you don't just walk up and start a conversation with her," Rin agreed.
"I realise my father is an important man and might be a little intimidating, but please treat me like anyone else," Kaori responded to them.
"Uh well, if you insist," They all responded.
"In that case, glad to have you here," Rin said to Kaori.
"Thanks," Kaori thanked them.
"Akira isn't coming today?" Jake asked.
"I invited him but he said something about having plans, and he rushed off," Shingo replied.
Jake gave an awkward smile.
"Well, should we make our way inside?" Kaori asked them.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
Inside the mall, Jake and the others are looking at bags to buy. They are all looking for a bag that fits Jake and suits him well.
"Jake, what do you feel about this one?" Kaori asked Jake while pointing at a big black and red backpack with lots of pockets.
"I like it, that's a nice pick, you've got great taste," Ryou affirmed Kaori.
"It must be way fancier than it looks if you chose it," Shingo said.
"You're trying a little too hard," Kaede told Shingo.
Jake tried it on, and it fit and suited him perfectly.
"It's almost like it was designed for you," Rin complimented Jake.
"I think that this is the one, thanks for all the help Kaori," Jake responded while feeling the comfort of the backpack.
"Of course," Kaori replied.
After a little while longer, they have bought everything that Jake needs for the trip.
"This should be everything, thanks for all your help," Jake said as he thanked them.
"We can bring our own stuff too, like cards and books for entertainment, and even snacks," Shingo told Jake.
"That's good, in 1 more day, it is the time for you guys to come to my house to meet Night, if Rin and Kaori also want to come along, they can too," Jake told them.
"Okay, I will come too," Kaori agreed to Jake.
"It sounds like fun, I'll go too," Rin also agreed.
"Well, you look a bit more lively now, so we will still come, and since we're all here, let's have some fun!" Ryou started speaking, before near the end Shingo joined him as they put their hand in the air clenched into a fist.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
At the arcade, Jake and the others have just arrived, and Shingo said, "I knew it, there's hardly anyone here!"
"Weekdays are awesome!" Ryou continued.
Shingo seemed to have seen something and dashed at a crane game, putting his head against the glass, saying, "Ah, it's my darling Hifumi!"
"Who's Hifumi?" The others all asked.
"I want thee, alas when it comes to crane games I am the worst," Shingo said with his head still against the glass.
"I can have a try," Jake said as he came behind Shingo.
"You want to play?" Ryou asked Jake.
Jake put the coin into the crane game, starting the crane. As he moved the crane, he used his Six-Eyes to manipulate the crane, easily winning the prize that Shingo wanted.
"Are you kidding!" Ryou exclaimed.
"Perfection!" Kaede also exclaimed.
"Is there anything you can't do?" Kaori asked Jake.
"And first try," Rin added.
Jake grabbed the prize out of the prize collection area and gave it to Shingo, saying, "Here you go."
"Are you sure?" Shingo asked ,before he grabbed it continuing, "Oh Hifumi, how I've longed for us to meet."
Jake felt someone tugging him, pulling him backwards. He looked over and saw that it was Kaede.
She said, "Do you think that you can win this kitty for me Jake?"
Jake did the same exact thing, winning the cat plushy that Kaede wanted and giving it to her.
"You did it, awww, thank you, thank you, thank you," Kaede thanked Jake while squealing.
"Just when I think that you are done impressing me," Ryou said in amazement.
"It's okay, do you want me to get one for you?" Jake replied and asked Ryou and the others.
"You think you can," Ryou replied with a smile.
"And me," Rin replied as well.
Jake felt someone tugging him again and looked back, seeing Kaori cutely looking at him, pointing at a crane game, saying, "Would you mind?"
After Jake won them all, Ryou said to him while waving the game he got, "3 for 3, you're the man."
"I've been wanting this pen case since forever," Rin said while holding the pen case she got.
"Thank you Jake, I don't know how to repay you," Kaori thanked Jake as she put on the otter clothespin on her school uniform.
"He didn't need a second try on any of them," Ryou said to Shingo, to which he agreed.
Jake seeing the happiness on their faces after he won them the gifts, also gave a true smile for the first time since he killed Suguru Geto, as he started to properly accept what he has done and get over it.
"You know, this is my first time going to an arcade, and even I can tell that you are amazing!" Kaori complimented Jake, as the others also saw the pure smile on Jake's face.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
After they finished playing in the arcade, they were planning what to do next.
Ryou asked them, "So, should we head up to the cafe on 7 for tea or something?"
"Why don't you go on ahead, and we'll catch up to you," Rin replied to Ryou.
"Us girls, we've got places to be, right ladies lucky number 13," Rin finished saying.
After they decided, they went their seperate ways, Kaede said while using the escalator, "We'll see you all at the cafe later."
"Well, guess it's just going to be us guys," Ryou said to Jake and Shingo as they went down an escalator, going the opposite direction to the girls.
At the same time, in the arcade, one of the arcade machines has an exposed wire, shooting sparks of electricity around.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
At the cafe, Jake has just finished adding lots of sugar cubes to his coffee, surprising Ryou and Shingo.
"Dude, how can you even drink coffee that sweet?" Ryou asked Jake.
"It's mostly because sweet food is the best, and it used to help keep my brain more active when I was younger," Jake told Ryou, taking a sip of the tea.
"Coffee is bitter, so I grabbed a melon soda," Shingo replied to them.
"You guys are such kids, drink your coffee elegantly, like this," Ryou told Jake and Shingo, before sipping the coffee elegantly, before spitting it out saying, "Argh, it's bitter, argh!"
"Jake, could you get us some sugar, and milk?" Ryou asked Jake politely.
"Okay, sure, I will be right back," Jake agreed and said politely.
After he got the sugar and milk and brought it back, Shingo asked Jake, "Out with it, what's with the smile?"
"It's fun hanging out with friends," Jake replied.
"Oh is that why, then we should all come back here again soon," Shingo replied.
"For sure," Ryou agreed.
"I would like that," Jake also agreed.
As soon as they Jake finished saying that, the fire alarm went off, with an announcement from the speakers, saying, "Attention please, a fire has broken out!"
"A fire!" Ryou slammed his palm onto the table, standing up.
The announcement continued, "The fire appears to have started on the 10th floor and is currently spreading!"
"On the 10th floor, the arcade we were just at!" Shingo also exclaimed
The announcement continued, "Please evacuate now, be advised, do not use the elevator!"
"The girls could still be up there!" Jake exclaimed before grabbing Shingo and Ryou's free hands, and pulling them as he started running to unblocked stairs he found using his Six-Eyes and the [Divine Universal Perception] Skill. at the same time he told Ryou and Shingo to call the girls, to see if they were still up there, as he knows they are from his perception but can't explain how he knows.
As Ryou called Kaori, Jake has found a security guard, and asked him if 3 girls have come down. Ryou also finished the call and told Jake and the security guard that the girls are still up there.
The security guard tried to make Jake and the boys go down and evacuate while informing someone through his walkie talkie.
Jake took advantage of the security guard's momentary negligence towards them while informing other people, quickly dashed past the guard, quickly moving to the 13th floor.
The guard quickly noticed and stopped Ryou and Shingo from following Jake, saying, "You have to evacuate, we will take care of your friends!"
"But our friends are still up there!" Ryou tried to get past the guard anxious.
"It doesn't matter, we will take care of it!" The security guard sternly refused them, pushing them to force them to evacuate.
Jake has quickly reached the 13th floor, and was blocked by a wall of fire. Jake quickly used the water element cloak magic, dashing through the fire.
Jake saw the girls and quickly grabbed them, applying the cloak to them as well, quickly dashing through the fire again, going to the exit of the building.
As he was almost to the exit, being on the 3rd floor, all the ways to move were blocked by the collapsing building, he quickly cancelled the water element cloak and punched through the wall next to him, creating an exit.
Jake held the girls firmly, before jumping out of the wall. As Jake began to fall to the ground, he grabbed the wall of the building, slowing his descent with his hand in the wall.
As they reached the ground, Jake let go of the wall, standing firmly on the ground. All the people at the scene were completely stunned at what they just saw.
Ryou and Shingo quickly ran up to Jake, asking if he and the girls were okay.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
Some time has passed and the fire has been put out. Ryou asked Jake concerned, "Would you stop doing these crazy stunts man, you had us worried?"
"Seriously," Shingo continued.
"I'm sorry, I will try, I might have acted a little dangerously back there," Jake apologised to them.
"But everyone is safe so it's fine," Shingo said to Ryou and Jake.
"No it's not!" One of the rescuers interrupted them, saying behind them.
After saying that, the rescuer lectured Jake, Ryou, and Shingo, and a small while later, they got lectured again by firefighters. Tsukasa Houjou arrived shortly after they finished getting lectured, and thanked Jake for saving Kaori.
Satoru Gojo also arrived while Tsukasa Houjou was thanking Jake, and went up to Jake, putting his arm around his neck saying, "Looks like our lovely gentle giant is going to have some more admirers!"
"Aren't you worried about his safety?" Tsukasa asked Satoru Gojo, as he thought that he was Jake's guardian.
"Nah, I doubt he would be able to be injured physically, and Jake has done much more dangerous things than this," Satoru explained to Tsukasa.
"What do you mean, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't worry about him, what about on the off chance that something happens!" Tsukasa said angrily to Satoru Gojo.
"Um, Big Bro Satoru is worried, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed here, and his personality is like this, so he has still come to check up on me to see if I am safe," Jake said to Tsukasa Houjou explaining to him.
