Olga leans against the cold stone wall as she reads the small hard covered red book in her hands under the dim lighting of the room. Though she may have looked focused on reading the gospel, her mind wandered elsewhere.
Initially, her stay in Japan was supposed to be short-term. But as the situation with Yuji progresses, Olga finds that she wouldn't be returning to the Secret Church's base of operation anytime soon.
Perhaps it was about time, she put in a letter to them about her current mission. She would still fufill her role as an executioner diligently, there was no question about it. Provided she would postponed from taking on the regular missions directly from the Secret Church's roster.
At the moment, Satoru was explaining to Yuji about the basics of cursed energy and cursed techniques.
"So is that why Fushiguro-kun and Olga-san are always so gloomy?" Yuji's mention of her name makes her break her attention from the gospel.
Satoru chuckled as he corrected Yuji. "Megumi-san, can be quite emotional, he just doesn't show it as much. While Olga… I don't really know much about her. But, I guess she's naturally emo."
This prompt's Yuji to glance at Olga. She simply kept an unmoving mug on her face, her eyes glued onto a page in the gospel.
"Well, they're prime examples of people who have trained their cursed energy, so as to not waste it all on a strong negative emotion they experienced. With some training, you'll be able to control your cursed energy much better," He reassured the boy.
This interaction had shed some light about Satoru's capabilities as a teacher to Olga. At first, the man had came off as a nonchalant person with complete disregard for the rules. At surface level, his personality was not exactly one you might associate with the role of a teacher.
But he had proven her otherwise with his… unconventional approach at teaching Yuji.
Besides that, he also shows concern for Yuji's well-being by keeping his alive status a secret. He hasn't told Olga why but she could generally grasp what it was about. If the higher-ups knew that the Sukuna's vessel was still alive, they would be breathing down his neck and Yuji wouldn't have a second of rest because of the messy politics and insufferable old men in a position of power.
"By the way, Olga, are you up for watching some movies?" Satoru's request came by suddenly.
CLACKED. Olga snapped her gospel shut, causing Yuji to winced at the loud sound it produced. "I am not too fond of watching movies. Why do you ask? Do you want to go on a date?" Her tone was dry and critical, making Yuji unable to differentiate if she was actually being serious or sarcastic.
Although, Satoru appreciated her candor either way. It humoured him.
"You can be quite the comedian sometimes, sister Olga. I'm asking because I want you to look after Yuji for me, I'll be gone for a while. He's going to watch some movies, it's for his special training to help him regulate his cursed energy."
He brandishes a sentient small bear stuffed toy with a pair of big red boxing gloves to Yuji. "Observe. This is one of the principal's cursed doll. You'll need to constantly pour a set amount of cursed energy into it."
"What happens if I don't?" Yuji asked curiously as he takes the sleeping doll into his hands.
"You'll see," Satoru replied with a cryptic grin, his eyes twinkling mischievously.
The doll's eyes snapped open. It instantly lunges for Yuji with one of it's boxing gloves. It connects to Yuji's face, closing the distance. With a powerful blow to Yuji's face, sending the boy hurdling backwards against the wall.
"Ow! Gojo-sensei that's cruel!" Yuji's voice was high as he lodged his complaint, clutching onto his aching face.
However, Satoru didn't seem to bother with his student's whinings. "There are many different types of genres here," He takes a couple of DVD boxes to show Yuji. "From heart-stopping thrillers to mellow and sappy romances. You'll be experiencing all sorts of emotions, so its a mental training that'll help regulate the flow of your curse energy."
Satoru's method was quite unorthodox compared to how when Olga first started off practicing cursed energy on her own. She remembers that she had to figure out everything mostly on her own and it took a few year until she manage to have a firm grasp on how to control and wield it.
"Lookie here, Olga~" Satoru shows a series of DVDs with similar covers. "There's even one here that's about you, Olga, "The Exorcist!" "
Satoru sounded way too enthusiastic as he showed her his collection. Olga is starting to think that he was getting too into this. However, she simply blinked her eyes several times before turning her full attention back to reading the gospel.
She settles herself onto the sofa. Her posture, straight and elegant as she flips to a particular passage in her holy text. Without batting an eye at the other two in the room, she spoke.
"I'll keep Yuji company, but that's it. Nothing more, nothing less,"
Olga would occasionally steal quick glances at Yuji as she took short breaks in between reading her gospel. Yuji wouldn't notice as he was too engrossed with the on-going film that was playing in front of them on the television.
On this particular movie –The Lord of the Rings– Olga couldn't help but notice Yuji's eyelids drooping slightly, a sign that he was indeed getting drowsy. Deciding to be considerate, Olga gently closed her gospel and placed it aside, leaning back in her seat to give him some space.
The room's dim lighting created a cozy atmosphere, and Olga decided to make the most of it for both of them. She didn't want to disturb Yuji, so she kept her movements subtle as she adjusted her position to be more comfortable. She glanced at him once more, confirming that he was peacefully dozing off.
Olga didn't forget to take away the cursed doll on Yuji's lap, as she didn't want it to suddenly wake up and shoot a punch to him during his rest.
So for now, Olga would allow him this short respite before he resumes his training.
"You're seriously letting the brat sleep just like that? How very noble of you, priestess," A deep voice rang throughout the room.
She turned to look for the source of the new sound, eyes settling onto the peculiar mouth that had formed on Yuji's cheek.
Ah, this was Sukuna.
To the King of Curses displeasure, Olga chooses not to respond to him right away. Tolerating such evil was not allowed in her role as a holy exorcist. By right, she should've exorcised him the moment he revealed his presence to her.
But against her better judgement, imparting a few words on it wouldn't be so treasonous.
"Interesting, so you can't even take control of the body when Yuji's asleep. What a shame," She mutters her thoughts aloud, callous as she casually insulted the King of Curses.
Sukuna's sinister chuckle reverberated in the room, amused by Olga's boldness in addressing him directly. "Oh, the little priestess has some nerve, I see," he taunted. "You humans and your audacity always entertain me."
"Audacity? That's rich coming from the high and mighty supreme curse that's being imprisoned in a 16-year-old's body. How does it feel?" Her tone measured and inexpressive.
Sukuna's laughter grew louder, a mix of amusement and something darker lurking beneath the surface. Olga's unflinching demeanor seemed to intrigue him, her defiance an unexpected twist.
Since the moment Olga had entered the boy's life. Sukuna could see through Yuji's eyes the scarred-face woman. Her cross hangs above her chest, a sign of her allegiance to the external organization she belonged to. However, what made him bat an eye at this human was the distant look in her eyes.
That look in her teal-gray eyes that screamed insignificance and indifference on anything she gazes upon.
When the time comes for his release, he wouldn't mind plucking out those beautiful eyes from her skull to add to his collection.
The room was once again engulfed in silence. Olga didn't go any further to pursue a conversation with it. Sukuna too, decided to stay quiet.
Yuji was already waking up from his short slumber, a feeling of emptiness as he felt for the cursed doll that was on his lap.
"Did I fall asleep, Olga-san?" Yuji's startled voice interrupted the silence, and Olga turned her attention back to him, offering a reassuring look.
"Yes, you did," Olga replied gently, "but it's okay. You looked like you needed a little rest."
Yuji rubbed his eyes and stretched, sitting up a bit straighter in his seat. "I guess I got too comfortable," he admitted, slightly embarrassed.
Olga didn't mind. She returned the cursed doll to him before reaching out for the gospel she had set aside.
Just as she was about to complete reading a sentence from her holy scriptures, Satoru appeared behind them seemingly from the dark shadows of the room. Yuji had yet to notice his appearance, but Olga was sharp as always.
He signaled her to keep his presence hidden as he was about to surprise Yuji.
Olga turned her head away and continued her reading, not caring about the fright Yuji would endure.
"Eek!" He screeched like a cat caught in cold water.
Yuji turned into a pale colour the moment Satoru puts his hand on his shoulder. This only prompted Satoru to smirk mischievously.
"Why'd you do that, sensei?" He clutches onto himself in defense.
"You've improved Yuji-kun, since I last saw you. Even when I scared you like this, the cursed dool didn't act up," He disregards Yuji's question.
Satoru then grabs Yuji by the collar with one hand, yanking the boy up while he holds onto Olga's hand, teleporting them to a different place.
Their environment shifts and the three now stand on top of a large body of water. They did not immediately sank into the water as an unseen force propelled them to step on the surface of the water.
"Huh?! How did we get here, Gojo-sensei? Weren't we not in a room? And how are you two standing on water? Did you two became Jesus?! AND WHY IS THERE A CYCLOPS, THERE!? "
So many questions but Olga simply covered Yuji's running mouth.
The volatile cyclops-like curse stood a distance from them, absolutely seething with rage as if someone had wronged it.
Truth be told, Satoru did indeed disrespected his opponent in every worst way possible.
"Yuji-kun, just stand back and watch me. I'll be teaching you a few things about the pinnacle of Jujutsu: the Domain Expansion." Saturo lets go of Olga's hand as he puts Yuji down to stand on his own.
This madman wanted to teach Yuji a thing or two as he battles it out against a curse spirit.
Though the cyclops-like curse begins to cackle. "Don't you know it's a liability to bring people into this fight? They'll only burden you, you fool!"
Satoru was unfazed by the curse's taunt, in fact, he himself was exuding an ungodly amounts of confidence. "I wouldn't be worrying about them because… You're just that weak," His grinned playfully, barring his pearly white teeth.
Considering that this was the same white-haired man that claimed he was the strongest, well… The curse was either ignorant or he was about to be in for a rude awakening.
Olga took a step back, standing beside Yuji. She understood that this was a rare opportunity to witness one of the most powerful techniques in Jujutsu Sorcery, the Gojo clan's Limitless and Six Eyes.
Olga understood that a Domain Expansion was the ultimate technique a jujutsu sorcerer could perform.
Seeing it in action for herself like this, was the heart-stopping thriller Olga wouldn't want to miss. She had to steel her breathe, placing a hand to cover the part of her chest that was doomed to break if her heart continued to pound against it.
The volcanic curse, however, was none the wiser and took Satoru's provocation too deeply to heart as it unleases its overflowing power by casting its domain.
"I'LL SHOW YOU WEAK, YOU BRAT!" It screeched as the three plugs at the sides and top of its head burst open, hot volcanic lava gushing out in all three directions.
This causes an impact as a surge of waves move pass the three of them, yet it doesn't touch them, due to the effects of Satoru's Limitless technique being in constant activation.
Yuji this whole time experienced a mixed of emotions ranging from amazement to unnerve at his teacher and the high-level curse facing opposite each other. Satoru himself did not show any signs of backing down, it was a testament to his strength. The curse that his teacher was taking on was unlike any other he had fought.
As he compared the strength of the volcatic curse with one he battled previously, the one before tham was significantly stronger. Like ten times stronger.
Whereas Olga was simply just there. Quiet as ever. She did not verbally interact, only standing beside him with dead but focused eyes.
"DOMAIN EXPANSION: COFFIN OF THE IRON MOUNTAINED!" They were suddenly cocooned within a new space.
They were enveloped in a hellish landscape. It was a world of scorching heat, explosive lava, and jagged rocks that seemed to stretch throughout the confined space. The ground beneath them rumbled with the raw power of the curse's domain.
Satoru remained unfazed, his Six Eyes and Limitless technique allowing him to perceive and analyze the curse's moves effortlessly. He stood tall and fearless, radiating an aura of absolute confidence.
The heat of the domain did not affect Olga as much since her exorcist's robes were enchanted to withstand high levels of dense cursed energy and intense heat.
"What a hothead," Olga suddenly remarked loosely as they were literally in said hothead's domain.
Hearing this, Satoru too was bursting out laughing at Olga's unexpected criticism. It would seem that Olga's involvement in this had made things very amusing.
"WHAT'S THAT?! YOU INSOLENT HUMANS! I'LL GRIND YOUR BONES TO ASHES!" It conjures a ball of hot magma and darts it for the three opposite to it.
However, the two adults remained calm.
There was without a hint of doubt in Olga's eyes as the attack came for them. She knew Satoru's strength.
Yuji was restless as it was the first time he had witnessed a devastating fight to this degree. He couldn't fathom how these people were unfazed in the face of something so monstrous and deadly.
It was beyond Yuji's comprehension.
"Yuji, breathe. Your teacher isn't the strongest for no reason," Olga puts a reassuring grip on his shoulder.
Just as Olga had said, the flurry of attacks dissipated as Satoru easily flicked it away with a single arm.
From the moment it decided to attack Satoru, it had signed its fate to be Satoru's plaything.
A horrible decision, really.
Satoru begins to explain the basis of casting a Domain Expansion Yuji and throughout his explanation while Olga took this moment to contemplate the differences between a holy exorcist and jujutsu sorcerers.
Essentially, both required cursed energy to exorcise curses.
Domain Expansions were the pinnacle of Jujutsu Sorcery. Being able to perform such a technique was a testament to the abilities of the jujutsu sorcerer. Not saying that this was a technique exclusive only for jujutsu sorcerers, as curse users and anyone and anything with the capability to wield curse energy could cast a domain of their own.
Olga too would be able to cast a domain of her own, however, that would've pronounced her as a heretic by the Secret Church. And although she possessed her own innate technique, due to her sacred Oath, she was only permitted to use the teachings of the Secret Church to exorcise curses.
A hindrance, but she was the Grand Holy Exorcist for a reason.
This curse that was standing in front of them was insignificant. Olga acknowledges that it's strong and intelligent, yet, she could sense that Satoru wasn't taking the battle seriously.
Why would he? He was already the superior fighter.
"Heh~ I'm done playing around," Satoru declares his intention as he removes his blindfold. "Let's end this quick,"
Satoru's eyes blazed with a brilliant blue light, signing his fingers on one hand as he unleashed his Domain Expansion.
"Domain Expansion; Infinite Void."
The landscape within the domain shifted once more, this time transforming into a surreal and ominous space. The air crackled with intense cursed energy as the landscape became a surreal, kaleidoscopic space, where reality and illusion seemed to blend together.
This was the infinity, a place where knowledge is boundless as it overflows in the brain, overriding the brain's capacity to process information.
The curse was rendered helpless within Satoru's domain as the information pooling in its mind was too much for any living being to bear.
While Yuji too was also temporarily stunt.
However, Olga's mind remained sane.
It was as if Satoru's domain was not affecting her in the slightest.
"I'll let you off this once, so tell me who sent you here," Satoru demanded, his voice calm but oozed malice as his hand threateningly grabbed onto its head.
As the curse was against speaking, Satoru proceeds to zealously rip out the head of the one-eyed curse from its body.
The sound of flesh being torn apart echoed throughout the space as Satoru collapses his domain.
They were back in the world, once again in the wilderness of the Tokyo rural area.
Satoru wore back his blindfold over his eyes.
Even as he made the statement, Satoru didn't intend to let the Special-Grade curse go. He was about to exorcise it, however, a large bodied curse swoops in, retrieving the beheaded head from Satoru.
The group was temporarily distracted as a field of flowers surrounds them. The gas produced by the sudden spurt of flowers, robbed their will to fight. Then, a particular large flora sprouted from the field, a viscous carnivorous pink flower.
A tendril shoots out, hooking onto Yuji's ankle. Yuji was taken hostage by the curse plant. It hoisted him up in the air, dangling him with reckless abandon.
"Sensei! Olga-san! Leave me here! Go get those two— AHHH!" However, Yuji was cut off as the plant pulled him close to its mouth, ready to devour him.
"WAIT! NOPE, NEVERMIND! HEL–!"
Olga whips out a gun. She steps forward, aligning the plant in her field of vision. She a deafening click, she pulled the trigger.
Two gun shots echoed throughout the forest.
Her strike at the plant's weak point, causing the plant to drop Yuji. The pink haired boy abruptly crashes into the ground and yelped as he fell ofn his front. The curse plant promptly extinguished into flames.
The sudden detour allowed the two curses had manage to escape them.
The Strongest Sorcerer hummed, intrigue by the turn of events. Satoru decided against pursuing those two curses since he was already running late for his meeting with the Principal.
It wouldn't have matter either way as he was going to meet them again somehow. Whether they pursue him on their own or he goes after them, they will meet.
For now, there was no rush.
Olga's heart calmed. Her gun was nowhere in sight.
The two adults collectively glanced at each other. There was an unspoken understanding in their gazes as the appearance of these unidentified cursed spirits meant that there was something larger at play, something that needed further investigation.
"Juju Strolls: Gun Mystery"
Gojo Satoru: By the way, sister Olga~
Olga: *Stares at him boredly* Yes?
Gojo Satoru: Where did your gun go?
Olga: Don't worry about that. It's somewhere…
Itadori Yuji: *exasperated* YOU MEAN YOU'VE BEEN CARRYING A GUN ALL THIS TIME?!
Olga: …
Gojo Satoru: *looks expectantly* Sister Olga?
Itadori Yuji: Olga-san…
Olga: *turns away dismissively* What do you guys think?
Both Satoru and Yuji, stared at Olga. They wonder if this was just a normal day for her.
