The thick cedar trees of the Tokyo Jujutsu High forest rattled violently, the leaves shaking as the frantic, heavy thud of boots echoed across the dirt. You ran fast alongside Yuji Itadori, your heels kicking up patches of dry soil as you kept your eyes trained on the canopy ahead. The Kyoto and Tokyo sister-school exchange event had barely started, but you were fully expecting the absolute vanguard of the Kyoto team to drop right out of the sky. Satoru Gojo's fingerprints weren't on your training, but you were a Grade 1 powerhouse with a massive, terrifyingly high output—and more importantly, you were one of the incredibly rare sorcerers who already knew how to unleash the Black Flash at will.

BOOM

The earth shattered fifty feet ahead of you. 

A massive, towering cloud of dust and pulverized dirt shot straight into the air as a heavily muscled, shirtless beast of a man landed squarely in the center of the path.Aoi Todo stood tall, his massive chest heaving, his sharp eyes burning with a fierce, manic bloodlust as a jagged scar sliced down the side of his face. He had a reputation for brutally breaking every opponent he met within the first three minutes of a match. "I've got this, Itadori! Stay back!" you yelled, your voice steady and entirely devoid of fear. Before Todo could even flex his shoulders or open his mouth to ask his legendary, soul-defining question about your type, you cleared the distance in a fluid, unyielding blur. You didn't dodge; you dove straight into his personal space, a brilliant, terrifying surge of pure cursed energy sparking wildly around your right fist. Todo's eyes shot open wide in absolute shock. He barely managed to cross his massive, calloused forearms in a defensive guard before your fist collided with his skin. 

SPARK!

A deafening, spatial-distorting crack roared through the forest as a violent distortion of space occurred. Spatial distortion clicked into place as your blow landed within a margin of a fraction of a second, unleashing the blinding, pitch-black lightning of a Black Flash straight into his guard. The raw force of the impact sent a massive shockwave that tore through the grass, throwing the nearby Yuji backward into a tree trunk while Todo's heavy frame was forced to slide twenty feet backward across the dirt, leaving long, deep trenches in the soil.Todo stopped his momentum, his heavy boots locking into the earth as the black sparks faded from the air. He slowly lowered his arms, his chest rising and falling heavily as he stared at you from across the clearing.His brain completely short-circuited. Through his raw perception, he could read the exact vibration of your soul—and the reading was impossible. 

You didn't just survive his presence; you were operating at the exact same cursed energy level as him. Every single watt of power, every drop of bloodlust, and every single tactical shift you made perfectly mirrored his own monstrous capability. A bright, violent flush of pink instantly crept up Todo's rugged cheeks, stretching all the way to his ears as a manic, breathless grin split his face. The sheer, overwhelming gravity of your power—magnified tenfold by the fierce, untouchable beauty of your combat form—had completely vaporized his standard routine."An... an absolute, flawless masterpiece," Todo whispered roughly, his deep, booming voice cracking slightly with a raw, intense vulnerability as his hands began to tremble with pure adrenaline. He didn't ask your type. He didn't care about idols. Looking at you, his soul-defining criteria had just been entirely rewritten.
