Flashback: At around 10:40AM In the morning, Kinto, Serena and Sukuna were all at Kinto's house, they were playing video games in his living room. There was a whole bunch of snacks and drinks on the centre table. Kinto was playing video games along side Sukuna who seemed to be smirking while Kinto found it difficult to keep up with her. Kinto's character, a guy wearing a mask and holding a blaster, was blasting laser beams at Sukuna's character(An angel with glowing green hair and wings). Kinto was finding it difficult to land powerful beams that would hit Sukuna's character "Tch, how the hell are you so good at this game.", he asked with a competitive voice, Sukuna replied while being smug "I'm not telling.". Kinto's character kept running and jumping all over the place at full speed while blasting all sorts of beams of energy. Sukuna's character on the other hand was just using its angel wings to slice and blast through the beams of energy Kinto's character was shooting out. Baraka was just sitting on the couch behind them while eating a bag of chips "Wow Sukuna, I didn't know you were good at playing video games at all. Honestly, since when did you even know how a game control works?", Sukuna replied "I'll tell you after I'm done beating Kinto.". Suddenly, Kinto's video game character closed the distance between itself and that of Sukuna's, they started to go all out in close quarter combat. Sukuna and Kinto's character were going blow for blow, blasting beams at each other at close range and even slamming and kicking each other around the landscape. Kinto looked at his life points "Ah, damn it all. How the hell are my life points lower than yours?", Sukuna replied "It doesn't matter, because now, I'm about to make them *ZERO*". Sukuna pressed one of the buttons which made her character do a special move, it's green wings of energy increased in size, a magical circle appeared above it, charged up a massive amount of energy and then blasted it at Kinto's character. (GAME OVER: PLAYER 2 WINS), was written all over the screen along side with a voice exclaiming them. Kinto's mouth was wide opened "Huh?!", Sukuna exclaimed "Yeay, I won!", Baraka stretched his hand out for a high five "Nice one!". Sukuna and Baraka give each other a high five with a smile, Kinto was still in disbilief "How the hell....?". He looked at Sukuna "Where did you learn how to use that special finisher? Ive used that character more than 4 times and even I couldn't pull it off.", Sukuna replied with a wink and her finger infront of her lips "I'm not telling.", Kinto yelled in confusion "BS!". Baraka explained "Oh come on. If you're going to make Kinto flabbergasted in his own game, the least you can do is explain to him how you did it.", Kinto added "Baraka has a point.....", he looked at Baraka with confusion "Wait... WHAT?!". Sukuna giggled a bit "Well you see, back when Levi was still our teacher, he used to give me training by playing video games. He said something like...", Sukuna started to remember what Levi told her "The best way to become stronger in a society like this to take inspiration from whatever you can. For instance, video games are recreational activities that are a form of people's imaginations. And since this is a society with powers and abilities, the things you see in said games should be used more for inspirations and training".Sukuna's brief flashback of Levi had ended, she explained to Kinto and Baraka "He said something about having a good sense of imagination of the kind of things you want to do with your abilities, and playing video games during lesure hours was something that would help.". Kinto then tells her while looking bummed out "That doesn't explain how you're so good.", Sukuna replied "Well, let's just say I'm so good because I play video games like these all the time as well.", Baraka had a nervous smile on his face, he thought to himself "She might be just as good as Alex now that I think of it.". Sukuna then stands up and stretches "If you're looking for another reason for me to explain how good I am, it's because I play games with Tobi all the time.", Kinto then asked "You mean the kid who is younger than you by two years that you fell in love with?", Sukuna then smiled with her hands on her cheeks "Yeah, there's just something about him that I just love. He's so cute and adorable for his age. Not just that, but how reserved he can be, how skilled he is capable of being... ITS JUST SO COOL.". Sukuna started to swirl left and right while giggling and blushing, Kinto and Baraka thought to themselves "Must be nice.". Baraka turned to Kinto "What of you, Kinto? How is your relationship with Rin?", Kinto replied "Oh, her?", Sukuna turned to Kinto "Yeah, how is your relationship with Rin?". Kinto crossed his arms and stretched out his legs "Well, it's not bad. We talk on messenger almost everyday. Although, the last time I actually saw her face to face was three years back. It was when I returned Kenji's sword to her.", Sukuna asked "You mean the guy from the dark sign who could wield lightning and flames?", Kinto replied "Yep.". He stood up "Out of all the people I've ever fought, he was the one I enjoyed the most. I think that was the first guy I ever regretted killing. Not because i felt sorry for him, but because i felt like i was looking at an older version of me", Sukuna then patted him on the head "That's enough. Let's go outside and visit Levi sensei's grave.", Baraka and Kinto smiled "Hm, sure.", Kinto nodded. A few moments later, Kinto, Baraka and Sukuna were all at their fallen sensei's grave. The three of them were dead silent, they're eyes closed as they stood infront of the grave of the man who was once their teacher. They all started to have memories of the training he used to give them, the times he's played and smiled with them, as well as the missions they've gone on. During these small flashbacks, they all had a collective memory of him, Levi was sitting on a log of wood while, Kinto(12), Baraka(12) and Sukuna(12) were standing, they were all beat up with burns on their hair and clothes. Levi pointed to them "You three, you're my storm. Kinto is the ticking time bomb, Sukuna is the walking supernova, and Baraka is the warrior of indestructible will. Make sure to act like it. Okay?", he smiled at them. The flashback ended, and they all opened their eyes "Rest in peace, sensei.". Meanwhile, Kito(Kinto's father/Levi and Sughi's former sensei.), was watching all this from a roof top. Kito had a soft smile on his face "Indeed, may his soul rest in peace, my most notorious student.", he looked at the other side and saw Deo standing infront of Sughi's grave. Kito sighed "And as for you, Sughi, you were the student I had who was so cocky. You were sometimes overconfident, but at least you had the skills and the power to back it up. My prayer is that your kid brother who is morning you right now, and your son, didn't pick it up. May your soul rest in peace. My incredibly prideful student.". As Kinto, Baraka and Sukuna were walking on the streets, Kinto's phone buzzed. Kinto picked it up, Sukuna asked him "What's that?", Kinto replied "A message.... from" he looked at the name of the person that texted him "Diablo? What's he texting me for?", Kinto thought to him.
