The halls of the Jujutsu command center were eerie quiet, a dreadful reminder that the days of arrogant higher-ups fervently arguing over trivial matters were behind them. Now the only noise that filled the halls were the footsteps and muffled whispers of the few remaining servants and whatever sorry excuses for sorcerers that the headquarters had managed to scrounge up.
The latter of which included Akio, who had barely been able to belive it when he'd been summoned to this meeting. He had known that the Jujustu headquarters had been in a dire situation, but the fact that they were willing to talk to him revealed that they were much more desperate than he'd assumed.
His eyes wandered towards the head of the room where the newly appointed Jujutsu Commander Gyōbu Ōtani sat. Akio's gaze lingered on the bandages that covered the man, secretly taking a small delight in the fact that this was what remained of the system that had rejected him.
This was his chance, the opportunity to earn the respect that had been denied to him his whole life. No longer would he be forced to sit by side as others reveled in glory.
A smile grew on Akio's lips, he wouldn't let this chance pass him by.
