"Well, tell me. Was there any real reason to use a precious finger to test sukuna's strength?" Asked a special-grade cursed spirit
"Well, there wasn't much point to it with a half-baked test case. But we did learn a few things." Replied a man with long black hair. Who we can identify as Getou
"Hmph. I'll be praying Thats not just an excuse." Said the special grade cursed spirit who we can also identify as jogo.
A curse with red skin and 8 long talons made a sound of agreement. Another one with a tall built and tree branches on it's eyes.
"Stop talking! No one understands what you're saying!" Shouted the jogo.
The walk sign turned green and they started walking.
"We don't understand, yet the meaning flows right into our minds. It's creepy!" Stated the same jogo.
They went into a cafe.
"Welcome! Would you like a seat for one?" Asked the waiter
"Yes, one, please." Said getou
━━━━❰･❉･❱━━━━
"If you encounter it, your choices are to either run or die. I warned them that fighting was absolutely not an option." Explained ijichi to Satoru
"It was intentional." Stated satoru
"Huh? What do you mean?" Questioned ijichi
"There was a special-grade. Sending first-years to rescue five who may or may not be alive should be out of the question. Besides. With yuuji, i was the one who forced the issue and got his execution indefinitely suspended. I also instructed y/n-chan to not use her jujutsu and this happened. Some higher-ups who didn't like that took advantage of my absence and the special-grade to tactfully dispose him and y/n-chan because of their fear." Explained satoru
Ijichi's trembling hands made its way to cover his mouth from the information.
"If the other 2 had also died it'd be more harassment for me and two birds with one stone for them." Satoru Added
"No, but... no one expected it to become a special-grade by the time the dispatch was issued" ijichi tried to reason
"Searching for someone to blame is just a pain. Maybe i should just...kill all of the higher-ups."Satoru was too furious seeing his 2 dear students dead
Ijichi took a step back in surprise
The door opened and a lady stepped in
"You're not usually this emotional." Ieiri stated as she walked in
"It's good to see you, ieiri-san!" Ijichi respectfully bowed
"Looks to me... like you've taken quite a liking to them. More specifically the girl." Stated the girl as she twirled her brown hair.
"I've always been a nice guy who cares for my students." Said satoru
"Don't torment ijichi too much"
Ijichi's eyes widened a but and his cheeks tinted pink. "He's got it rough, stuck between us and the higher-ups." He cheeks tinted more pink and his background turned bright
"I don't care about a man's hardships." Said gojo
"It that so?" The lady pulled the white cover itadori's body off. "So this is...Sukuna's vessel, huh? I can take him apart as i please, right?" Asked ieiri
"Make sure to get a good use out of him." Said satoru.
"Oh i will. Who do you think i am? Well what about the girl?" Gojo just smiled bitterly
━━━━❰･❉･❱━━━━
""Live a long life"? Doesn't mean much when you go and die yourself. Is this your first time having partners die?" Stated by nobara who looked sad
"First time for one my age." Stated fushiguro who was also sadly looking down
"You seem to be taking it well, considering" said nobara with a longing look on her face
"Same to you..."
"Of course. I only knew him and y/n for about two weeks, i might be y/n's big sister but i barely know her. I'm not a some simple woman who breaks down bawling when a guy and a girl i barely know dies." Those words were white lies. She was trying to comfort herself by convincing herself with the opposite. "Jeez" nobara was on the verge of crying.
Fushiguro didn't say anything but he silently admits that he misses the duo. "It's hot, huh?"
Fushiguro tried to change the topic.
"Yeah. Wonder if it's time for summer uniforms." Replied nobara
1 pair of feet stepped infront on them
"What's this?" A female voice broke the silence. Fushiguro and Kugisaki turned their heads to the owner of the voice.
"You're looking more glum than usual, Megumi. This a wake or something?" Asked a female with ponytailed green hair and purple glasses.
"Zenin-senpai." Stated by Fushiguro
"Don't call me by my last name!" Shouted by the girl
Then a hushed voice called out to her
"Maki! Maki!" Their attention went to a talking panda who was hiding behind a statue
"I'm talking here." Maki turned her head to the panda and a boy with grayish-blond hair who have his collar hiding his mouth
"Y-you actually don't know why they're so down?" Question nervously by the panda
"What are you talking about?" stated by maki
"Someone really did die yesterday! One of the first-year boys and girls!" Panda's hushed voice stated
"Bonito (bokuto👀) flakes." Simply stated by the boy with covered mouth
Maki stiffly turned her face towards them.
"You should've told me sooner! Now i look like some heartless cold-blooded demon!" She accusingly pointed to the panda and boy.
"That's exactly how you came off." Said the panda
"Tuna mayo." Stated the covered-mouth boy
They started arguing while fushiguro has a bored expression and nobara with a dumbfounded one.
"Who are those guys?" Questioned nobara while pointing to them.
"Our second-year upperclassmen." Answered fushiguro
"Zenin-senpai is the best of all the students at weilding cursed tools.
That's the cursed speech user, inumaki-senpai. He can only speak in ingredients of rice balls.
Panda-senpai.
"There's only one more, okkotsu-senpai, who's the only one i can openly-respect, but he's overseas right now." Said fushiguro with antired face as he stood up
"You're not adding more about the panda named panda?" Questioned by nobara
━━━━❰･❉･❱━━━━
"Man, sorry about this. And when you're in mourning...please forgive us for that." The panda apologized to their underclassmen.
"The truth it, we'd like you to participate in the kyoto sister school exchange event."
"Kyoto sister school exchange event?" Stated by a puzzled nobara .
"What's that?" Nobara turned to fushiguro and questioned him
"It's a get-together with the other tech achool in kyoto." Explained fushiguro.
"Though isn't that event mainly second- and third-years?" Questioned fushiguro
"And those stupid third-years are suspended right now. So you need to participate." Explained maki
"What do you do at this event? Smash bros? I won't lose if it's the wii version. I'll meteor smash so you can't come back." Stated nobara.
"Then let's make a 3-man team. The exchange event has the principals of the tokyo and kyoto schools. Each propose a form of competition to be held for an entire day over the course of two days. Though that's just how it is on paper. Every year the first day is team battles, and the second day is individual battles." Explained panda
"Salmon" agreed toge
"Individual and team battles? We fight?! Against other jujutsu sorcerers?!" Exclaimed by nobara.
"Yeah, it's a jujutsu battle where anything but killing goes." Explained by maki
"We'll train you up well so you won't get killed. Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Panda enthusiastically cheered
"Wait, do you have time for that? I thought we were short on jujutsu sorcerers." Question nobara
"That's a good question. For now, we are. The glum emotions people harbor from late winter through spring, cause an outburst of curses in the early summer, so that's our busy season." Explained panda
"Sometimes we're busy all year long, but things should be settling down soon." Added maki
"So, you'll do it, right? You just had some partners die on you, after all." Inquired maki
"We're in!" Fushiguro and nobara simultaneously said
"I...have to get stronger. I'll do anything to achieve that!"
"I...have to get stronger. I'll do anything to achieve that!"
Fushiguro and nobara simultaneously said again
"But if i decided this training and exchange event is pointless. I'm quitting instantly." Reasoned nobara
"Same here." Added fushiguro
"Well, people this cocky are all the more worthwhile to train." Said panda
"Bonito flakes." Said toge
