Zenin Days

Did you guys know that Toji is my favorite JJK character?

__________

3rd P.O.V.

Toji found it strange that he was in his physical prime when he made it to this world.

When he thought about it, it made sense.

He was one of the 'experiments' done by the superhumans.

Takeshi calling him experiment 115 confirmed his suspicion. Even if Takeshi didn't tell him directly, the timing of his appearance was too much of a coincidence.

However, he couldn't care less if he was nothing but an experiment.

Who cares if you are an experiment if you can become strong enough to destroy the entire organization single-handedly?

He could destroy the entire Zenin clan whenever he wanted.

Why bother hating a bunch of random goons?

This bunch of random goons made the same mistake as the Zenin clan had.

The mistake of giving him strength.

Toji hasn't needed to go all out against many of his opponents in this world since most have been too weak.

The only exception was Takamura, but even then, he didn't physically go all out since he was figuring out his fighting style rather than throwing everything at him at once.

After the fact, Toji could've won faster, but rushing into a strong opponent without any preparation or testing is stupid.

Had he fought Takamura differently, Toji might've been in worse shape, given Takamura's fighting style.

He would usually be analytical, cautious, and strategic in a fight with a strong opponent.

The main difference is that Takeshi was a fighter who was different from Takamura.

After their few exchanges, Toji had him figured out.

Takeshi was like a heavenly restriction user.

Toji knew how to deal with them. He had experience dying after all.

So, he was going to throw everything at him.

His blades didn't work on Takeshi, so he is using the different angle he thought of earlier.

Turning his body on autopilot.

Letting his first five senses and sixth sense go into overdrive to move his body on instinct.

...

Becoming a puppet of carnage.

...

*step*

...

*step*

...

*step*

...

Holding Playful Cloud in his hand, Toji slowly walked toward Takeshi with a neutral face and empty eyes.

Takeshi stopped sweating and had a small smile. 'He has a different aura, but he's still the same failur-'

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Takeshi smashed through three concrete pillars.

He blinked with a bewildered expression as he lay in debris. 'What the hell?'

One moment, he was standing; the other, he was on his back, covered in dust and debris.

It was only natural that he was confused.

...

His precognition didn't work.

...

*drip*

Surprisingly to him, blood dripped out of his mouth.

He looked down to see a massive imprint on the right side of his body.

His eyes widened. 'He bypassed my body reinforcement with that weapon.'

Similar to the higher-level superhumans, Takeshi had precognition.

However, it didn't give him any indication that an attack was coming or anything was wrong.

It's why he decided to talk to Toji.

Even if Toji decided to attack, he would be ready for it.

Or so he thought.

Takeshi was shocked that Toji could go from 0 to 100% of his speed instantaneously without activating his precognition. He also noted that Toji seemed to be much faster than him, and he wondered if it truly was 100% of his speed.

To say he was caught lacking would be an understatement.

The weapon in Toji's hands was a mystery to him.

It looked like a regular three-sectioned staff, but ever since Toji held it, he became a different fighter.

He slowly stood up and wiped the blood off his mouth. 'I'll need to take this seriously...here he comes!'

*WHOOSH*

Toji appeared in front of him with a wide smirk and swung Playful Cloud at Takeshi's head.

Returning the smile, Takeshi raised his left hand to catch it and hit Toji like before.

However...

*BAM*

*CRACK*

Playful Cloud crushed his hand and smacked him in the face, sending him rolling on the floor.

He had fast regeneration, making his hand and cheek heal quickly.

It wasn't even a second later when Toji suddenly appeared above him.

*BOOM*

Takeshi narrowly dodged the strike as Toji's swing created a massive crater where he once stood.

Using the opportunity, Takeshi threw a left hook at the side of Toji's head.

*whoosh*

Before it landed, Toji vanished.

Takeshi's eyes widened. 'Above!'

*BOOM*

He barely had time to cross his arms in an X shape before his arms were broken under the force of the special-grade cursed tool.

Takeshi scowled as he jumped back, aiming for time to heal his broken arms.

Even on instinct, Toji had no plans of letting him regenerate.

At this moment, it finally hit Takeshi. 'Me, of all people, is running from this failure!?'

Takeshi stopped in his tracks as he spit out blood to the right.

Toji kept his assault as he expertly swung Playful Cloud, keeping Takeshi on the backfoot.

There wasn't an opening for Takeshi to take advantage of.

Takeshi finally noted that Toji was an entirely different beast when he had access to his weapons.

A small smile appeared on his face. 'If I take that weapon, I'll be able to kill him. If I shut down his tools, I can destroy his entire fighting style.'

*PHEW*

Toji found himself behind Takeshi.

Instead of running, Takeshi shot himself closer to Toji, aiming to grab the staff piece in Toji's hand.

Unfortunately for Toji, he couldn't swing Playful Cloud fast enough...

*grab*

Toji used his left hand to grab Takeshi's face.

However, he didn't need to swing Playful Cloud to deal with Takeshi.

*BOOM*

Toji slammed Takeshi's head onto the ground, ruining the attempt to grab the weapon.

Takeshi attempted to move, but Toji held his face firm on the ground.

His eyes widened through the cracks of Toji's hand as Toji raised Playful Cloud with a horrifying smile.

Takeshi's assessment of Toji was wrong.

His tools weren't the reason why he was so strong.

It was his overwhelming intensity.

*CRACK*

*BOOM*

With a heavy swing, Toji slammed Playful Cloud on Takeshi's stomach.

The strike created a massive crater below them, making a dust cloud that looked more like a tornado.

Toji's punches alone could put someone like Tenkyu down with a single well-placed strike.

Amplify that many times over with Playful Cloud, and you can do a lot of damage.

Even someone like Takeshi, who could beat every Order member, maybe even win against Takamura, couldn't handle it.

After the final strike, Toji regained control of his body as he stood above Takeshi.

He rubbed the back of his head. "Shit, I still need to ask this freak some questions."

Takeshi's body twitched as he barely held onto consciousness.

Toji kneeled to Takeshi's level. "Good, you're still breathing. How do I do this? Torture won't work since you'll probably die."

Takeshi's eyes slowly moved to look at Toji's.

Surprisingly, he could speak. "H-how c-could I lose to you?"

*flick*

Toji flicked Takeshi's head.

It was probably the most he could do, given his entire body was broken.

Toji spoke up. "I don't need your life story. What organization do you work for?"

Instead of responding to the question, Takeshi grits his teeth and speaks his mind. "You're a...a...monkey compared to me, so why did I lose to an inferior version?"

Based on his properties, Toji could guess what Takeshi meant.

Takeshi was based on Toji.

Toji became lost in thought. 'If this organization can make people like me, that is going to be annoying to deal with. They are going to screw with my work and get in my business. I couldn't care less if the JAA and whoever these goons are, fight. Just leave me the fuck out of it!'

When Toji heard what Takeshi had told him, he couldn't help but smile. "You're so weak that you even lost to a monkey like me."

Takeshi's eyes slowly closed as he finally accepted his fate.

He couldn't stay mad anymore.

There was nothing else he wanted to say to Toji.

He had lost to the strongest 'monkey.'

After Takeshi died, thoughts were on his mind. 'These people will most likely eventually become stronger if the person behind this invasion improves the weird abilities of the freaks.'

Takeshi was ultimately weaker than Toji, which was a good sign for him since Takeshi was most likely modeled after his own abilities.

It shows that not every superhuman created after him would be more powerful than the last.

Even if there was the threat of someone surpassing him, he wanted to be ready for it.

...

Toji smiled. 'Maybe I should start training again.'
