Mei Mei always have an escape plan

Mei Mei believes that anyone else's life's value is proportional to how useful they are to her. "Service potential", a concept not supposed to be applicable to humans, is life itself for Mei Mei.

Despite her very questionable morals, Mei Mei maintains a relatively friendly demeanor at all times. She is interested in the potential and abilities of her allies, often recognizing their growth and commending them.

''The future is unknown. So is your potential, Gojo Satoru." Mei said.

Gojo's eyes widened.

''I am just a weapon," Mei continued,'' I'm not allowed to weep."

''That's your reason ?", Gojo's voice is weary as he had used a maximum technique earlier. ''You don't look like someone's puppet, though"

''Fine, make me the villain," Mei pointed at Gojo and continued, ''But if you care to know, then I remember all of them".

''Heck with it", Gojo raised his voice.

'Is she a curse user or a sorcerer? 'Gojo had doubts regarding her status. Also, that's the only reason, he chose the option to talk rather than to attack her.

''Your growth will be more apparent, when it is being tested", Mei turned and walked away from Gojo.

'Is she going to attack others?'
'No....' Thoughts crossed Gojo's mind.

Gojo looked up at the sky and saw crows being hurled towards him at great speed.
Gojo's Six Eyes detected higher amount of cursed energy, than before, in the crows.

''Bird Strike" as Mei Mei walked away she started explaining, ''The true value of Black Bird Manipulation. I used a Binding Vow on the birds ,forcing them to commit suicide for me, in return for exceeding the limits of the typically weak birds' cursed energy".

Enhanced by high levels of cursed energy, the bird hurls itself at the enemy, hitting them with a devastating impact capable of exorcising, even a special grade with a single hit.

''Tsk,That woman!! She's escaped'' Gojo was unsatisfied as Mei was nowhere to be found. But his Six Eyes said otherwise
'She's gone, but she's everywhere'
