My Dad Is The Strongest?: Ch.12

“W-W-W-Wait! H-H-He's S-Satoru G-Gojo's…son?!” Miwa squeaked as she stared at Killua with wide eyes, who nodded with a shrug while Todo was surprised as the boy slipped out of his grasp with ease.

'Ah, he is strong. As expected of my younger brother.'

“Yep!” Killua spoke bluntly with a nod as he sat down next to Noritoshi and rested his head on his arms with an amused grin as Miwa blinked a few times before Momo spoke up.

“It's kind of obvious considering how he and Gojo-sensei look very similar to each other.”

“I-I know. It's just…it's kind of hard to believe that the Satoru Gojo would be married and have a kid.”

“Oh, he's not married to my mom.” Killua answered nonchalantly as he sat up, making Momo blink as Todo raised an eyebrow.

“Is your mother a non-sorceror?”

“Yep, though she's kind of sick right now which is why she and I are kind of living with Dad right now.”

“Hmm, well, she must have been quite the businesswoman.”

“Oh, she's a prostitute.” That made everyone freeze while Killua yawned, Todo being the first to snap out of his shock as he blinked slowly before speaking.

“A…prostitute? As in a woman that sleeps with men for money?”

“I don't think there's any other definition for it.”

“And Satoru Gojo…slept with her?”

“That is how I got here.” Killua answered with a shrug as he laid back down and Todo simply hummed while the otehrs snapped out of their shock.

“S-Sorry if this sounds bad, but I didn't quite expect someone of his…calibre to sleep with someone of her…”

“Calibre? Eh, don't worry about it. Normally, I would have killed you already, but Mom and I don't really care for what she does since we simply see it as her job.”

“I-I see. Well, no one here will criticize you for it.” Miwa spoke with a shaky smile before letting out a relieved breath as Killua gave a thumbs-up.

“No worries. So, what do you guys do for fun around here? I asked Noritoshi here, but he just seems to be too bored to actually answer me.”

“Well, I read, Miwa here likes to sharpen her sword, Noritoshi has taken up archery and Todo over there…”

“I watch Takada-chan's beauty shining through her shows.”

“Uh, who's that?” Killua whispered to Noritoshi, who sighed as he shook his head.

“Do not ask. Todo, I believe that Killua may not be interested in Takada.”

“Takada-chan. You gotta say the whole thing. Also, Killua is not interested because he does not know who it is. Once he does, I'm certain he will enjoy her presence.”

“If she does something like music or anything of the sort, I wouldn't like her. I don't like idols and stuff like that.”

“…You are not my brother.” Todo spoke with a frown as he sat back down, Killua blinking at the glare he gave him before slowly turning to the others as Miwa gave a nervous giggle.

“U-Uh, just ignore him. He'll forget after a while.”

“I'll never forget this betrayal, my little brother.”

“…Is it safe to say he has a few screws loose?”

“He has all but one screw loose and that screw is almost falling out as well.” Momo responded and Killua smirked before looking over back to Todo as he spoke up.

“If you cannot listen to Takada-chan, then I must test you to ensure you do not need her wisdom. Come, brother, and let us settle this test with our fists.”

“The translation is that either you fight him now or he attacks you when you least expect it.”

“Correct.” Todo nodded in agreement with Noritoshi's words and Killua looked at the tall guy before Todo's smirk widened as Killua nodded and stood up.

“I'm all for it. Let's go.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“So, what's the parameters of the spar?” Killua asked as he hopped from foot to foot, Todo in turn taking off his purple undershirt and tossing it to the side with a smirk as he stretched his arms.

“Whichever parameters that would help you have a better chance in this spar.” Todo answered as he rolled his shoulders and Killua snorted as he stretched his legs before nodding.

“Fine, then. First to draw blood?”

“Sure.”

“A-Are we sure this is okay?” Miwa asked the other two 2nd Years and Momo looked at Noritoshi with an amused smile as he shook his head with a sigh.

“It is not, but Todo tends to do his own thing no matter what anyone else says so we'll just let them fight it out. If it gets to the point of being too serious, we'll intervene.”

“Ready?” Killua asked as he stood up straight and as Todo nodded, he was barely able to finish doing so before he quickly leaned back as Killua's kick missed clipping his face.

Shooting back upright while aiming his own punch at the young boy's chest, Killua vanished with a spark of electricity and landed besides the older boy, pulling a leg out and lashing out at Todo's legs.

Todo was quick to pull his legs out of the way with a jump while delivering his own kick, making the younger boy grunt as the force of the attack sent him skidding backwards.

He recovered quickly and prepared himself as Todo rushed in, reaching forward and catching Todo's first punch before spinning and pulling the boy forward along with quickly delivering an elbow to the older boy's chest.

Todo grunted with the blow even as he smiled when he wrapped his arm around Killua, the boy quickly pushing off of the ground and flipping around and onto's Todo's shoulders.

Raising an elbow, Todo quickly raised his arms as Killua delivered elbow after elbow to the teen's arms, the older boy grunting with each blow before he caught one elbow and threw Killua from his shoulders.

It was not enough though as Killua flipped with the throw and spun around, electricity sparking around his body before he rushed forward and aimed a punch at Todo's chest.

However, his eyes widened as he watched the boy clap and found himself punching thin air, grunting as he felt Todo impacting his back with a fierce blow before leaping away with the attack and flipping around to see Todo standing with his arms crossed.

Rushing back in with a smirk, electricity sparked around his body as Killua leapt into the air with a spin and swung out a heel kick, but the sound of a clap echoed in the air once more before he found himself skating across the ground.

His body warned him this time though and he quickly flipped forward right as Todo's kick missed hitting his head, the 2nd Year sorcerer looking impressed while Killua smirked as he turned around and nodded.

'A technique that lets him determine my ending position by shifting my body through space-time? No, if it were that, I wouldn't have been able to dodge his attacks since he would have just put me in a position where I couldn't block or dodge them.'

“One more test.” Killua muttered as he rocketed forward, taking a deep breath and rushing towards Todo before leaping and kicking out behind him.

However, as he awaited the shifting, he couldn't help the bark of laughter as nothing happened before Todo's fist swung through the air, flipping over the attack while landing with a grunt.

“I see. That's quite the technique.” Killua spoke with a grin and Todo raised an eyebrow at that while the other Kyoto sorcerers frowned.

“What do you mean?”

“I'm guessing you don't like talking about your secret considering how simple it is. However, with that simplicity, it is quite effective in the right hands.”

“Are you saying you know my technique?”

“It is quite instantaneous, but it's also a pretty good one. Now, let's see if it can truly keep up.” Killua spoke with a smirk as the electrical current around his body picked up before he smirked and vanished.

The next, he appeared in front of Todo with a fist pulled back, throwing it forward right as Todo leaned out of the way and lashed out with his own kick.

However, Killua had already moved out of the path of his kick while delivering his own kick to Todo's supporting leg, knocking him off slightly before lunging up and delivering a powerful knee strike to the teen's chest.

The force of it was enough to sent Todo stumbling backwards before the teen reoriented himself and lunged forward, delivering a punch that Killua quickly blocked with a smirk.

Lashing out with a claw strike, Todo pushed the attack away and swung an elbow at his head, Killua quickly catching the elbow and pulling Todo in only to dodge the knee that came at his side.

Leaping backwards as Todo lashed out with another punch, Killua grinned as he crouched before blitzing forward, the cry of lightning echoing behind him as Todo clapped his hands only for his eyes to widen as Killua stopped mid-step and spun around towards him.

With rapid clapping, the cry of lightning could be heard while the spectators were shocked at the sight of Todo rapidly swapping places with Killua while the boy dashed around, never missing a step as his body instinctively adapted more and more to the teenager's attack.

'When he claps, there's a slight delay when he needs to activate his technique and another where he needs to find me so if I aim for that…' Spinning around as he and Todo switched places once more, Killua smirked as he raced forward once more.

Each step carried him closer and closer to Todo who turned his head and clapped his hands, but right as he felt himself appearing in another spot, Speed of Lightning activated and the boy spun.

Appearing in front of Todo before he could even spin around, the teenager stopped before smiling as he felt the hand resting against the back of his neck, Killua smirking as he saw the small trail of blood dribbling from Todo's neck where he had cut the teen slightly.

“Looks like I win.”

“Looks like it. Very well, I shall bother you only once a week with Takada-chan.”

“Wait, I thought you said you wouldn't talk about her anymore.” Killua spoke with a frown and Todo snorted as he walked over to his shirt before throwing both it and his jacket over his shoulders.

“As if I, her number one fan, would not be spreading her beautiful voice to all those ignorant of it.”

“Great. Just what I needed.” Killua muttered as he watched the teleporting gorilla walk away before turning to the others and raising an eyebrow at their stunned faces.

“What? Do I got something on my face?”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I have to admit I had my doubts of your strength, but I see now your rank is well-deserved.” Noritoshi spoke with a nod of his head and Killua simply smiled with a shrug.

“Eh, I don't mind it. The more people underestimate me, the easier it will be for me to take them out.”

“Still, Todo is arguably one of the strongest students in Kyoto if not the entirety of Japan and I only know of a few students that are potentially on his level.”

“What of the 3rd Years? There are those still, right?” Killua asked before raising an eyebrow as Momo looked down while Miwa sighed and shook her head.

“Unfortunately, the 3rd Years died earlier this year after getting sent to an abandoned school to exorcise a cursed spirit only for it to be a Special Grade case.”

“By chance, was this case on the outskirts of one of the nearby towns to the north-east?”

“Yeah, have you heard of it?” Momo asked before their eyes widened at Killua's response as the boy grinned and nodded.

“Yeah, I'm the one who exorcised the spirit.”

“No, the spirit was exorcised by a First-Grade sorcerer M-!”

“Mei Mei while being accompanied by her brother Ui Ui? Did she exorcise it on the 18th of January 2017 and did she seem too healthy to have defeaten a special grade spirit?” He continued and Noritoshi frowned before looking at the others.

“It does line up with what we've heard.”

“E-Even if what he says is true, it's rather difficult to believe that a young boy of 11 was able to exorcise a spirit that not even three Grade 1 sorcerers could even if said 11 year old is a Special Grade.”

“In my defence, any Special Grade could have done what I did with ease while I struggled a lot to beat it. It's kind of how I knew I had to train a lot more under Dad to be able to get strong enough fight toe to toe with him.”

“I…see. Well, if you are telling the truth, we thank you for what you did. None of us were strong enough to take this spirit out and now we can rest easy knowing that it has been exorcised and cannot harm another again.”

“Anytime. So, when are the others that I haven't met going to get back?” He asked and Noritoshi frowned as he looked at Momo, who shrugged while she took a sip of her tea.

“They left a couple of days ago and we know how Mai is so give them another day or so…”

“We're back~”

“And they'll come back. Speak of the devil.” Killua turned his head as he heard the new voice speak up only to raise an eyebrow at the second person that walked through.

“Anyone else seeing a robotic puppet walk through the door on its own?” He asked while staring at the mechanised puppet dressed in a Jujutsu High uniform, the puppet in question looking back at the boy with shimmering green eyes.

“Uh, who's babysitting the Satoru-Gojo lookalike?” The first person, a black-haired girl that had her hair styled short, asked with a raised eyebrow as she sat down to Momo, the puppet doing the same next to Noritoshi as Miwa decided to answer.

“Oh, this is Killua Gojo, son of Satoru Gojo and a 1st Year. Killua, the puppet is Ultimate Mechamaru or Mechamaru for short, a Semi-Grade 1 Sorcerer and he's also a 1st Year like you and me. The girl is Mai Zen'in, the last of the 1st Years and a Grade 3 Sorcerer.”

“You wouldn't happen to know a Naoya, would you?” Killua asked and caught the slightest flinch in the girl's eyes before she snorted and crossed her arms with a nod.

“I do. What of the bastard?”

“Ah, from your reaction, you haven't heard what happened then.”

“No, do you guys know?” She asked while looking at the others and they all shrugged before Killua snorted and answered her question.

“Well, it happened about four months ago, but he attacked the brothel my mom worked at so I killed the guys that were with him and put him in a coma…I think. I haven't checked up on him yet to make sure.”

“…Excuse me because I think I misheard that. Did you just say you not only killed seven Semi-Grade 1 sorcerers since it was the Hei Unit of the Zen'in that was most likely with him but also took out a Special Grade 1 sorcerer?…All on your own?”

“Kind of. I mean, Dad came to stop me before I could deliver the final blow, but it's safe to say he fears anything with white hair now.”

“I have heard the rumours, but how powerful is this Naoya?” Miwa asked and Killua blinked as he heard Mechamaru beep before he spoke.

“Naoya Zen'in, son of the Zen'in Clan Head Naobito Zen'in, is the cousin to Maki and Mai Zen'in and is considered to be amongst the pinnacle of talent within the Big Three Families. It is said that he is the most talented out of his brothers, having achieved the rank of Special Grade 1 at 18 years old, which is seen as the second youngest age to do so after Satoru Gojo's 9 years old.”

“Damn, Dad beat me by one year. Wait, did the robot just talk? You can do that?” Killua always had a fascination with robots, especially after the many robot men he bought in his past life.

So, to see one not only talk but speak fluently in real life was just a miracle to his mind.

“I am not a robot. I am an advanced cursed puppet being controlled by a user.”

“From what I can feel of your cursed energy, you are both near yet far at the same time. Huh, not bad on hiding your presence there.”

“I thank you for the praise, Killua.” Mechamaru spoke with a nod, which Killua returned before blinking as Mai snapped her fingers.

“Do you have someone to care for you?”

“No, should I?” He asked while looking at the others, who all shook their heads before he turned back as she spoke.

“If you let me become a member of the Gojo family and keep me from fighting, I will become a personal maid. No ifs, ands or buts.”

“Ah, of course. I forget you hate this life.” Noritoshi spoke with a look of understanding while the girls looked sympathetic as Killua frowned slightly.

“Why, though?”

“Naoya has been harassing me since I was forced to become a sorcerer and I hated every second of it. Then, here I come back to what I thought to be another miserable few weeks of training only to hear that you took out what was probably the biggest source of anguish in pain in my life. So, if you are the way for me to not have to do this anymore, you can be damn sure I'm taking that way out.”

“You sure? There's no going back if you feel like you want to later.”

“Very.” Mai spoke with a determined look and Killua looked back before grinning as he stood up and patted her on the head.

“Okay. Welcome aboard, maid.”

“…That went much easier than I was expecting.”

A/N: A plot twist as Killua fights Todo and meets Mai and Mechamaru only for the Zen'in twin to want to join under him as his maid?

Is that out of character? Perhaps, but if someone gave you an out from a life of anguish, many would find it hard to say no.

Anyway, another time-skip next chapter before we jump into what is going to be…a tourney arc~!! That's right.

Next chapter: The Copy-Paste Sorcerer meets the son of his master.
