I do not own Jujutsu Kaisen
July, 2018 Southern Thailand
Three large explosions echoed across the Thai Jungle in a hot afternoon. They were miles away from any settlements, so Tsuyoshi believed it to be fine to blast his target into oblivion.
His Target, a curse user was running away from Yoshi. He ducked and jumped under and over branches, attempting to run away from the sorcerer hunting him.
The curse user is agile, Yoshi will give him that. So he decided to outsmart him. Tsuyoshi then took to the skies with a boom.
The curse user just kept running, not even aware his hunter just changed strategies.
After running for another 30 seconds or so, the curse user stops to check if he is out of the danger.
He is not.
Out of nowhere, Yoshi descends on the Curse User with an axe kick.
The curse user managed to raise his forearms to try and block the kick. But he was taken by surprise, and the force was too strong for him to tank.
Yoshi managed to land the axe kick on the curse user's left shoulder, even though he was aiming for the head.
The curse user stumbles while Yoshi lands elegantly.
"You're fast, I'll give you that". Yoshi states emotionlessly before dashing towards the curse user in lightning speed.
Yoshi delivers a rib shattering punch to the curse user's side. Before twisting to deliver a roundhouse kick to the curse user's head.
The curse user was sent flying across the jungle. Breaking plenty of tree branches as well as bones. By now, the curse user is experiencing pain like never before, "GAAAH"!
The curse user stopped flying when his back hit against a giant boulder. Before the curse user could even react however, Yoshi was upon him.
Yoshi jumped towards the curse user with a cold stare, holding his hands together and raising them up vertically before striking at the curse user agressively, with a loud *BOOM*.
Even the boulder shattered under the impact.
Yoshi then stood there imperiously until the dust settles. He glared daggers at the Curse user, who was saved from Tsuyoshi's punishment by centipedes under his manipulation.
The curse user's innate technique was centipede manipulation. Tsuyoshi was requested to hunt down this curse user so that he can pay for his heinous crimes. The order was to capture or kill him. But Tsuyoshi preferred to torture him before killing him.
But what crimes did he commit that made Tsuyoshi so angry.
The centipede curse user had first poisoned many married men with centipede poison, he then approached the wives, stating he can save their husbands, of course the wife agrees. But of course... it comes with a price to save their husband. The curse user demanded sexual favours from the wives as payment... According to the reports, the curse user will rape the wives before they even answered, killing them and their husbands afterwards.
That's why Yoshi is so eager to punish this... DEMON.
But the curse user, even though battered and bruised, is now in the safety of his centipedes, he makes a hand sign and chants weakly "Domain Expansion, realm of defilement"!
Yoshi, just glared dangerously at the curse user as the the rapist speak "HAHAHAHAHA, this! Is the end for you!"
The curse user's domain envelops the both of them, revealing it to be a lair of centipedes with bones scattered around.
"You think you can stop me! Nobody can stop me from tasting more women! Nobody can stop me from feeling the despair in people's eyes"! The user declares disgustingly.
Yoshi said nothing, but he glared dangerously at the curse user. Despite being in his own domain, the curse user felt fear, a core shaking fear for the imminent.
Yoshi then laid his left hand horizontally infront of his chest, while placing his right hand above the left hand. Yoshi then straightens his right index and middle finger, pointing them towards the sky from his clenching right fist above the left hand before chanting, "Domain Expansion, The Temple of Radiant Energy".
Amara's bright domain immediately overpowers and envelops the curse user's grim domain, it wasn't even a competition. While the curse user stares at his executioner's domain with shock.
Yoshi has already mastered Amara's domain expansion now, although it is yet to be as refined as Amara's peak domain, it can easily overpower most people's domain.
Yoshi immediately twisted the curse user's leg using the sure hit attack of the domain. The curse user screamed in agony as his legs were twisted into unrecognisable polls of flesh. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"!!!!!!
Yoshi then waved his fingers, and the curse user's left arm is pulled by the energy surrounding it. The curse user could feel something pull at his left arm before it was entirely ripped off of his torso. "PLEASE STOP"! The curse user whimpered.
Yoshi didn't, instead he breaks and bends the curse user's right arm in an unnatural way. "GAAAAAAHHHHH"!!! The curse user screamed.
Yoshi, deciding the punishment wasn't enough, crushes the curse user's rib cage into his lungs, making him harder to breathe. "*CHOKE* *COUGH* Please stop"!!!!
Deciding it was enough, Yoshi finally crushes the curse user's entire body with the sure hit of the domain. His body was crushed into a cube of flesh and bones.
Tsuyoshi then released his domain after confirming the curse user is actually dead and won't comeback as a vengeful spirit.
"Sheeeeeeesh! Is that really necessary Yoshi"? Tsukumo Yuki asks Yoshi after she jumps down from a tree branch, pointing at the cube of flesh.
Yuki had been monitoring the hunt as she wanted to evaluate how much Yoshi has learned under her mentorship. But even she thought that was a little bit harsh.
"It was a just execution, that sadistic rapist had it coming". Amara added her opinion by morphing her mouth at Yoshi's left cheek.
Yuki nodded "Perhaps you're right Amara, but we shouldn't be so cruel".
When Tsukumo Yuki knew of Amara, she was creeped out at first, but after learning that she had saved Yoshi, and the energy manipulation technique originates from her, Yuki began to respect the historic Sorceress.
But Yuki was more curious about Amara.
Meanwhile, Tsuyoshi just shook his head "I'm sorry, it just felt right to... PUNISH him".
Amara and Yuki each put a hand on Yoshi's shoulder to comfort him, while Yuki says "Well, quite true. I might have done worst if I were you".
"Yoshi kun! Yoshi kun"! Hattori Michiko, Yoshi's auxillary manager came rushing through a bush.
"Hattori san? I thought you were waiting in the car"? Yoshi asks in confusion.
Michiko panted before answering "Gojo... summons you... *pants* back to Jujutsu High".
Yoshi's eyerbrows scrunched up in confusion before Michiko explains clearly, this time fully recovering her breath. "Gojo san summons you back to Jujutsu High, he says a first year student is dead"!
In an airplane headed for Tokyo, Japan
Tsuyoshi and Hattori Michiko were siting in economy class seats, as they were unable to book a business class in time due to the urgency.
Tsukumo Yuki had decided to stay in Southeast Asia to continue learning about Curses there, besides, she refuses to take part in Jujutsu High's businesses.
"So, who was the first year student that died"? Tsuyoshi asks Michiko, who was sitting beside Yoshi.
"It was a student called Itadori Yuji, he died when he was on a mission to evacuate a detention center alongside his two other first year students". Michiko answers Yoshi dutifully.
Tsuyoshi nods grimly "It seems I have lost a Kohai before I could even meet him. What's the name of the other two first years?"
"Kugisaki Nobara and Fushiguro Megumi". Michiko answers.
Yoshi nodded, he didn't know this Nobara, but he did know Megumi, they have even met a few times under the introduction of Gojo sensei.
"I don't know this Kugisaki San, but I do know Megumi, a talented sorcerer. I hope they are not too depressed by their classmate's departure". Yoshi stated sympathetically.
Michiko nods slowly as she slowly slither her hands towards Yoshi's. She then took his hands and leaned in close to whisper to Yoshi's ear gently "Please don't be sad Yoshi Kun".
Amara suddenly pops out and glares at Michiko with a calm fury. She would like to morph a mouth to yell at her, but unfortunately they're all on a public plane.
Yoshi shakes his head as he replies "I'm more interested in knowing why Ryomen Sukuna would allow his vessel to die".
Yoshi had heard about this Yuji Itadori becoming the infamous Sukuna's vessel earlier when they are on their way to the airport to board this plane.
But he still didn't understand why Sukuna would rip Itadori's heart out.
Michiko shakes her head "I must be honest, I don't fully understand curses".
"Even if this vessel dies, all this Sukuna needs to do is to just wait for another vessel, since he's an immortal". Amara explains to Yoshi.
"Hmmm, so this Sukuna is just doing what his heart desires"? Yoshi thinks aloud.
Michiko was confused at first at what was Yoshi talking about, before remembering Yoshi had told her about Amara. And by some way, This Itadori Yuji and Sukuna thing is quite similar to Yoshi and Amara.
But this Amara creeps Michiko sometimes, as after learning another woman is 'inside' Yoshi, Michiko can't make any moves freely on him, knowing Amara might be watching her.
Amara nodded to Yoshi's hypothesis.
She had once accompanjed Yoshi to retrieve one of Sukuna's fingers. And Amara can sense how strong this entity was when he was alive. Based on Satoru's briefing, they learned that Sukuna is quite a demon. So she believed this Sukuna acted on his impulse, instead of logic.
A frightening prospect. Amara has fought a few curses users back in her time that acted on their impulse, and they are all difficult to deal with. Not to mention how strong this Sukuna was.
But it seems this Sukuna is not a problem for now, so she has time to think of ways to take on this Sukuna for Yoshi...
Tokyo Jujutsu High
After Hattori Michiko had left Yoshi to do some paperwork, Tsuyoshi made his way towards the Hidden Room Gojo had once showed him.
Tsuyoshi made sure nobody was following him as he walked towards his destination. Gojo had made it an emergency room of sorts to discuss matters secretly with Tsuyoshi. Matters such as how the strongest sorcerer in the modern era would ask a high school student to run dangerous errands.
So he was quite surprised when Gojo called him to the hidden room. 'What could it be'? Yoshi thought.
Once Yoshi reached the door to the hidden room, he knocked three times on the door.
After a few seconds, the door opened, but just enough for Gojo Satoru to peek through, he then asked Yoshi for, "Password"?
Yoshi raised his eyebrows at the goofy man he calls a tecaher. "Seriously? You can see that its me"! Yoshi exclaimed.
Gojo shook his head childishly and replied "No password, no entry".
Amara shook her head and holds her forehead with her hand "Unbelievable, the strongest modern day sorcerer".
Yoshi turned around and was about to leave when Gojo called out "Oi! Where do you think you're going"?!
Yoshi sighed and said "My dorm, I had a long trip".
"Oh come on! Don't spoil the fun, just say the password, pweaaaase"! Gojo begged like a four year old.
Yoshi sighed again and recited the magic words "Open Seaweed"...
Author's notes: Get it? Sesame - seaweed?
Gojo giggled like a child in satisfaction and opened the door with a bright smile "That's the correct password! You may now come in"!
As Yoshi walked through the door, Gojo called into the hidden room "Yo! Come and greet your senpai"!
Yoshi was wondering why Nobara and Megumi would be in here, but he was wrong. A pink haired boy walked towards them as Satoru introduces "Yuji Kun! This here is your senpai, third year student, Semi-Special grade sorcerer, Tsuyoshi! Yoshi Kun! This here is your first year Kohai, Sukuna's vessel, Itadori Yuji"!
"Just a firstname"? Yuji muttered in confusion as he rubs his head, but not in an unfriendly matter.
Yoshi and Amara however, is examining Yuji 'So this is Sukuna's vessel'. They both thought.
Yoshi then asks Gojo "I thought you said he was dead"?
Satoru chuckled loudly before answering "Now he's alive"!
"Eh? No more further explanation"? Yoshi asks, but received just a nod from Gojo.
'Did Sukuna healed him? But why'? Yoshi thought.
"I'll be under your care, Tsuyoshi Senpai". Itadori's voice called out to Yoshi, who was deep in thought.
Yoshi then saw Yuji performing a perfect 90 degree bow. Tsuyoshi smiled and pulled Yuji straight up and declared, "Let's get along huh?"
Gojo smiled at that.
Yuji had to literally crank his neck up to meet Yoshi's face.
Tsuyoshi's height grew rapidly over the last few months, and he now stood at 189 centimeters, just a centimeter short from Satoru.
Amara however, just studies Yuji as if he is a dangerous bomb that will go off in any second.
"So, how are you finding Jujutsu High"? Yoshi asks Yuji as he hooks his arm around Yuji's shoulders like a bigger brother would to his little brother.
"The school is cool! But I'm still clueless to all this Jujutsu thing ya know"? Yuji answers while rubbing the back of his head.
Yoshi chuckled lightly to lighten Yuji up "We're all clueless when we are first introduced to Jujutsu, all we can do is to move forward"! Yoshi finishes as he pats Yuji in the back.
Yuji shrugs "I guess so".
"Hey, don't worry! You have Gojo sensei and me here to help you"! Yoshi declares to Yuji as he releases him.
Gojo nodded and affrimed "Indeed, I will do my best to guide you Yuji. As I have guided Tsuyoshi here". Gojo finishes as he waves his hands at Yoshi.
Yuji nodded gratefully, "Got it. I'll do my best".
"Now however, can you still switch with Ryomen Sukuna"? Yoshi suddenly asks as he stretches his muscles.
Gojo just chuckles lightly as he leans against a wall and crosses his arms, "Jeez, here we go again".
Amara however ponders 'It would be helpful to see what this Sukuna can do, even if he only has the strength of a few fingers. With Gojo Satoru here, I don' t think Sukuna can threathen Yoshi's life with the both of them here, so there is a good chance that Yoshi can learn plenty about Sukuna in this fight'.
Yuji scratches his head and replies "I think so, but why"?!
Yoshi grins as he replies "I want to fight him"!
Yuji looked shocked and asked nervously "But... but why would you want to fight someone like him"?!
Yoshi crouched down to stretch his legs as he answers Yuji, "Because he was once the strongest, I wish to become the strongest myself. So, I see fighting him as a good opportunity to become stronger".
"Ho?! You dare challenge me?" A deep, bone shaking voice called out to Tsuyoshi.
Yoshi and Amara immediately froze in their place as they looked towards Yuji. Yuji however, slapped his face to cover the second mouth with sharp teeth morphed on his cheek.
But the mouth morphed on the back of his hand and spoke again "Bold of you to challenge me. You would risk your life to fight me just for the sake of learning more huh"?
Tsuyoshi however, was unfazed and replied to the King of Curses "Hmmm, interesting. But yes, King of Curses, I will fight you if it means I can get stronger".
"I'm sorry, he does this sometimes". Yuji interrupted.
Ignoring Yuji, Sukuna answers Tsuyoshi "Oh is that so? A brave notion! Then I'll be sure to give you an enlightened death for your efforts"!
Amara narrowed her eyes at Sukuna at that and said "How bold of a statement". Not that anyone except Yoshi can hear her.
Yoshi just chuckled "Try me then". Ending the conversation.
Sukuna's mouth disappeared after that and Yuji then speaks "Gosh, I hate it when he does that".
Gojo then says nonchalantly, "It seems we're both targets of the King of Curses now, Yoshi Kun, but unfortunately you cannot fight Sukuna in Itadori's body now. Because in the reports for the eyes of the higher-ups, Yuji kun is still dead".
Yoshi raises his eyebrows at that "So if I fought Sukuna, those old geezers would notice? Why would their opinion matter"?
"Yuji, go back to your training." Satoru ordered Yuji while not looking at him.
"Alright sensei, see you later senpai"! Yuji bade Yoshi farewell and walked down the stairs further into the room.
Gojo Satoru gave an incomprehensible smile to Yoshi and answered "Because they are plotting to kill Yuji".
Tsuyoshi's eyes widen and he lowers his voice to a whisper "Just because he is Sukuna's Vessel"?
Gojo nods slightly and answers "Indeed, those old geezers are only all talk and no balls, they believe executing Itadori Yuji is the best way to exorcise Sukuna once and for all".
Tsuyoshi furrows his brows and asks "But why woulld they do so? Didn't they already extended Yuji's execution"?
Gojo shakes his head "I don't know, but there is now way those old geezers have no hand in his death, since the mission was dispatched by the higher ups".
Tsuyoshi nodded "This is very suspicious Gojo Sensei, I recommend caution."
Gojo nodded "Yeah, but nonetheless, I will not let this go unanswered. But for now, I need to ask you to do something for me".
Tsuyoshi nodded and ask "What is it"?
Gojo sighed "I will be going abroad soon, so I will be asking Grade One sorcerer Nanami Kento to guide Yuji for this time being".
Satoru then walked over to look Yoshi face-to-face and clasps his shoulder. Gojo examines Yoshi proudly. The boy he educated is now turning into a great man, standing nearly as tall as him, Gojo Satoru is certain that Tsuyoshi can be taller than him.
"I need you to take care of the others for me, Yoshi Kun. Especially the other first years". Gojo declares as he took off of his blindfold. Revealing his clear, mysterious blue eys.
Yoshi nods, "Of course, I will. But you'll be back soon right"?
Gojo nods with a smile and answers "Indeed, but you are now strong enough to help me share the load, besides, anything could happen..."
Yoshi chuckles softly, "Like what could happen? You running away with a woman"?
Gojo laughs as he slaps Yoshi's shoulder "Its getting late Yoshi, go rest".
Yoshi nods and turns to leave, but Gojo calls out to Yoshi "Thanks for helping, Yoshi Kun".
Yoshi glances back with a smile and answers "I'm glad to help sensei".
Little did Gojo know that later that night, a certain Cursed Spirit will ambush him.
The Next Day, Tokyo Jujutsu High School
"Eh? Where are the first years"? Panda asks as he looks around, as if the first years could be hiding in the forest around them.
"I've sent them to get drinks". Maki simply replies to Panda while continuing to walk forward.
Panda frowns and asks "Is it really alright"?
"Salmon". Toge says, also concerned for the first years.
Maki however, was still oblivious, and just states "They're not three year olds, they'll know how to buy stuff from vending machines".
"But that's not what I mean't, Isn't the Kyoto High's Prinicipal here for the Goodwill event's meeting today?" Panda announces.
"Tuna"? Toge asks to confirm this.
"Weren't the Higher-ups who have tense relationship with Gojo Sensei the people who sent the first years to investigate the detention center case? The Principal of Kyoto High is a member of the Higher-ups, is he not? If they bump into each other..." Panda trails off.
Maki then answers logically" Their target, Itadori, the first year student is already dead, they're probably not planning to do anything to Megumi and Kugisaki".
"I belive the old man from Kyoto won't cause such a big problem so obviously". Maki adds confidently.
"Salmon". Toge nods, agrreeing that the Kyoto Principal won't harm the first years, at least for now.
But Panda was still uneasy, and with a good reason, "Kyoto's staff may have their own view on this, but the students may not"...
Maki suddenly stops walking forward, causing all three of them to stop since she is at the head of their group, and turns around to asks "You mean Mai is here"?
"Its just my guess, the Kyoto students have no part in today's meeting after all, but..." Panda pauses and looks up to the sky for a moment before continuing "Don't those two love to harass people? Todo and Mai..."
"Jeez! Why can't the school install more vending machines"?! Kugisaki Nobara exclaims as she reaches down to pick up the drinks she purchased from a vending machines.
"It can't be done, there is only a limited number of personnel who are allowed to enter the school". Fushiguro Megumi replies to Nobara calmly.
Two figures then enter Megumi's and Nobara's peripheral sight, so they turn to face the two strangers.
Fushiguro then recognises his distant kin, Zenin Mai, so he politely greeted "Zenin Senpai, why are you here"?
Nobara's eyes widen and she asks "Oh, so my guess was right. She gives off a similar vibe to Maki Senpai, are they sisters"?
Megumi then dutifully answers "Indeed, they're twins".
Zenin Mai then chose this moment to cut in in a mock flirty manner. "Oh come on Fushiguro Kun, if you call me that, won't it be the same as how you call Maki? Call me Mai".
"So these two are the substitutes for Tsuyoshi, the third years and Okkotsu?" Todo Aoi asks as he inspects the two first years with a bored expression.
"We accompanied the principal here to check out on you guys, we were worried sick when we heard your classmate has died? Are you guys sad? Or... Not". Mai said in a mocking manner, as if she is intentionally provoking them.
Fushiguro and Kugisaki both narrowed their eyes at Mai's words.
Megumi then demands calmly, "What are you trying to say"?
Mai then replied with an edge. "Its fine you know, since these things can be hard to say, so I'll say it on your behalf".
"The term 'vessel' is is a very kind word to describe him, but we all know that 'the vessel' is just a cursed half monster. Such a filthy unnatural thing, yet he still calls himself a Jujutsu Sorcerer just like you, you must be disgusted by him. Don't you guys feel better now that he's dead"? Mai said tauntingly with a finger on her lip. As if daring them to strike back.
Megumi's and Nobara's face both hardened at those harsh words said about Yuji. Their eyes giving off dangerous intent.
"Mai, stop uttering about these useless shit, I am more interested to know if they're a worthy replacement of Tsuyoshi and Okkotsu. That's ALL"! Todo declares as he stalks towards Megumi and Nobara.
Once he is in front of Megumi, Todo asks "Is your name Fushiguro? WHAT KIND OF WOMAN IS YOUR TYPE"! Todo asks loudly and seriously.
Both Megumi and Nobara froze on the spot and tilted their head "Eh?"
Todo however, takes this chance to give a speech "Based on your answer, I might beat you until you are half dead."
Todo pauses for a second before continuing "Tsuyoshi! Okkotsu! At worst, I'll drag the other third year students to the Goodwill Event myself! By the way, I like tall women with big hips"!
Megumi however just returns calmly "Why should I tell you about what type of girls I like? I just met you today."
Todo raises an eyebrow in response "Hm?"
Nobara decides to casually cut in and supports Megumi in an... unorthodox way, "That's right. You're making things difficult for Mr boring here"!
Megumi tightens his forehead in frustration at that. "Can you shut up?! the situation is already weird the way it is, don't make it any worse"!
Todo however just announces "I am third year student, Todo Aoi from Kyoto Jujutsu High! My Self Introduction has finished, now we're friends. Quickly answer my question, its fine even if you like dudes".
Todo pauses before explaining passionately "Sexual preferences can reflect one's personality, if their preference is boring, then their personality is boring! And I hate boring guys the most! The Goodwill event is an arena for my passionate soul, if my last event bores me, I can't guarantee I won't cause any trouble"!
Since Nobara is confused, she whispers to ask Megumi "Neh, doesn't Jujutsu High adopt a 4-year program?"
Megumi then answers without looking at her "A student can only participate in the event until their third year".
Nobara nods, but was still perplexed by this "Ehhhh"?
The impatient Todo calls out once again "I'll give you a special offer, I'll only leave you half dead if you answer now! Answer me Fushiguro! What type of girls do you like"!
"What the hell is this? A variety show's question"? Megumi exclaims.
Meanwhile, Nobara notices something on Mai "Is she wearing a summer uniform? I'm angry right now, but I still envy her".
Megumi however, ponders the situation 'Kugisaki is currently unarmed, we need to avoid a fight.'
Megumi then remembers what his sister had once told him 'Its not a bad thing to be unable to forgive someone. Is that not a form of Megumi's gentleness?'
Megumi sucks in a deep breath and answers Todo "I don't have a particular preference in girls, as long as she has an unwavering personality, I won't ask for anything else".
Mai chuckles sweetly, as if approving Megumi's answer... Or anticipating what will come next.
"Nice answer, I woulda killed him if he said he likes big boobs or something like that". Nobara declares.
Megumi however, embarrassingly yet annoyingly says "Shut up"!
Todo however, went into a charging stance, a single tear rolling down his left cheek as he declares, "I knew it, you are boring as hell, Fushigiro".
Then, in a blink of an eye, Todo was upon Fushiguro.
Fushiguro and Nobara didn't even have time to react when Todo delivered a strong forearm swing to Megumi's body, which sent him flying.
Once she recovers, Nobara tries to move to aid Fushiguro "Fushiguro"!
But Mai held her back "Ahhh, Now I feel bad for Fushiguro Kun. He's a genius sorcerer that enrolled as a Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer, yet he is nothing but a first year in front of our grade 1 Todo, remember to cheer him up after this". Mai explains slowly and with a mocking kindness.
Nobara however, counters Mai with an uncanny calmness. "I thought you two were the same at first, but it turns out, you two are totally different. Maki san is a hundred times prettier than you, don't you have enough sleep? You have huge pores".
Mai, now enraged by Nobara's insults, points a gun to Nobara's torso and say "Let me teach you how to speak properly"!
Meanwhile, as Fushiguro was trying to get up after being charged by what felt like a bull, Todo continued speaking "I knew it when I first laid eyes on you, that you were a boring guy. But we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, that's why I intentionally asked, but you just trampled on my kindness" Todo finishes as he wipes his tears away.
"Don't tell me your brain is a pineapple too". Refering to Todo's hairstyle that resembles a pineapple.
Megumi then pauses, as Todo's name finally rang a bell 'Todo? That Todo?! Last year, during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in Kyoto, he single handedly exorcised 5 grade one curses and one special grade curse. But it isn't rare for a grade one sorcerer to defeat a special grade. What's rare is that he heard Todo exorcised all those cursed spirits without using his cursed technique.'
So Megumi got up and ask. "I heard you don' t use cursed techniques".
Todo however, just casually answers as if it was a trivial question "What? Oh, that rumour is fake. I used it against a special grade".
'He didn' t use it on grade one curses?! What a monster! 'Fushiguro thinks to himself.
"I' m so relieved"! Fushiguro declares sarcastically. 'But still, what he did wasn't even comparable to what Tsuyoshi senpai did, that man... is a true monster'. Fushiguro thinks about the only third year student Fushiguro respects, Tsuyoshi. Fushiguro was more than excited to meet the man that exorcised three special grade cursed spirits in 15 minutes when Satoru introduced him to Tsuyoshi, but of course, he acted calm and composing.
Fushiguro was actually intimitated at first by Tsuyoshi, his intimidating presence was manifested by his vast cursed energy. Megumi was even unsure if Gojo or Tsuyoshi had a deeper pool. But later, Fushiguro realised Tsuyoshi was a nice and caring guy. A nice guy that has the power to wipe out an entire army of cursed spirits during the Night of a Hundred Demons.
And now, Fushiguro will face one of the people that had made a name during the Night of a Hundred Demons.
Fushiguro then made his hand sign and chanted "Nue and Toad, The Well's Unkown Abyss"!
After the incantation, a group of large frogs with angel wings on their back manifested from the shadows.
Croak* the frogs called out.
Todo however, was confused as he cracks his neck "Hm"?
Megumi deduces that, 'Todo focuses on close-combat, I need to put some distance between us and pin him down'.
Meanwhile, Todo acts. He sprinted towards Megumi with lightning speed, taking out a few frogs that were around Fushiguro, but didn't destroy them. He then appeared behind Megumi.
'That was fast! The speed he used to charge me just now wasn't even his full speed'! Megumi exclaimed as Todo's arms wrap around Megumi's waist and attempts to suplex him, Megumi flung his limbs like a trapped prey to get free of Todo's strong hold as he lifts Megumi up in the air, but to no avail.
"You're too shallow, Fushiguro, your phisique is thin, your taste in women is even shallower"! Todo announces as he suplexes Megumi to the ground, creating a small crater with Megumi's head.
Megumi's forehead is now bleeding, but Todo didn't relent. The gorilla-built teenager turned around flexibly and threw a earth shattering punch at the lying Megumi.
Megumi immediately flipped away, causing Todo to deepen the crater with a punch that literally shook the ground.
Megumi immediately darted backwards to create a distance from Todo. But he is already upon Fushigiro.
Todo landed a vicious right hook to Megumi's cheeks and immediately delivered the next with a left hook on Megumi's face again.
Fushiguro then fell into a wave of Todo's assaults. Left, right, left, right, left, right,Todo continues to punish Megumi with powerful hooks while giggling giddily.
'Fuck! He's too physically strong'! Megumi exclaims in his head.
Then, Todo grabs Megumi's head with a single hand and launches them both to a nearby wooden pillar of a wooden building. Creating cracks in the wooden pillar with Megumi's head.
"Its not over yet"! Todo declares and launches the both of them through the wooden building behind Fushiguro,
Todo crashes upwards through the wooden building using Fushiguro, crashing through level after level with Megumi as if he was a human bulldozer until they crashed through the roof and were in the air.
"As expected! You are utterly BORING!" Todo declares as he dashes toward Fushiguro Megumi to deliver another powerful blow.
But suddenly, Todo felt something, something dangerous, something that is, life threatening.
He immediately changed from a punch to a clap and activated his cursed technique, changing his position with the new arrival.
Todo was swapped into a position high in the air, and as he fell, he saw that an invisible force had impacted where he would be now if he didn't swapped his position. The invisible force ploughed through the wooden building downwards with great speed and power, and crashed through all the levels of the building. Creating another hole in the roof.
As Todo landed on the roof, he can now see who had joined the fray.
"Why are you attacking my Kouhai, Todo"? Asked Tsuyoshi who stood in front of Fushiguro protectively.
Tsuyoshi swapped with Todo when the latter activated his Cursed Technique, but Yoshi then immediately dashed to shield Fushiguro, avoiding the collision with his own attack.
"Tsuyoshi Senpai"! Megumi exclaimed in surprise as he looks up to the tatted back of his senpai.
'How did they swap places? Is that Todo' s cursed technique? He forced Todo Aoi to use his technique with just a single strike'! Fushigiro notes with respect.
Tsuyoshi is currently shirtless , only wearing a pair of grey sweatpants and toilet slippers. Revealing his tatted and ripped torso, neck and arms.
"Tsuyoshi"?! Todo exclaims in excitement and continues "Huh! You're back eh? Very good, it seems the goodwill event won't be as boring as I thought it will be"!
Tsuyoshi sighs and plants his hands to his hips "I still don't get why you would pick on my juniors Todo".
"My bad Tsuyoshi, I thought you won't be at the Goodwill event. So I took on the role to test your replacements". Todo replies embarrassingly.
Tsuyoshi had actually met Todo at last year's Goodwill event, and according to Todo and Tsukumo Yuki, he was the first one to 'solve' and figure out how to counter his cursed technique, Bugi Ugi, or called Boogie Woogie.
"Are you okay Fushiguro Kun"? Tsuyoshi asks Fushiguro.
Fushiguro nodded and answered "I'm fine senpai".
"Fushiguro"! A voice called out behind them, which belonged to Panda, alongside Toge.
"Tsuyoshi senpai?! You're back already"?! Panda asks once he sees Yoshi there.
Toge, also surprised that Yoshi is back, asks "Salmon roe"!?
Yoshi nodded and answered "Yeah, I came back as soon as I heard about Itadori's death".
Yoshi smirked intetnally, 'Wait till you guys see that Itadori isn't dead'!
But Yoshi kept a straight face externally and said "I'll go and check on Kugisaki san first, then I'll take you guys to the clinic to get you guys patched up".
Then in a blink of an eye, Yoshi disappeared. "He is fast"! Megumi noted aloud.
"Indeed he is, this year's goodwill event won't be so boring after all, if only Okkotsu was here..." Todo replied.
Panda however, was trying to get rid of Todo "I'm a panda! I can't understand human language"!
Toge, trying to be helpful, said "Salmon".
As Mai was reloading her revolver, she continues to taunt the still unconscious Nobara, or so she thought, "If you still want to be a Jujutsu Sorcerer, choose the target you want to taunt wisely next time." Mai finishes with a giggle.
But the next thing she saw after she blinked, was that her gun was now pointing at a set of ripped eight-pack tatted abs.
Suddenly, she felt an overwhelmingly powerful pressure wash over her. Her hands holding her revolver began to tremble. She didn't even dare to lift her head up to look at who was in front of her.
"Put your gun down, Zenin san". The man in front of her ordered in a deep, yet electric voice.
And Mai involuntarily dropped her revolver from her shaking fingers. Then, she slowly lifted her head to see sho it was.
"Tsu-Tsuyoshi san"?! Mai stuttered as she locked eyes with Tsuyoshi.
Tsuyoshi responded with a grin, which released Mai's tenseness.
Tsuyoshi's Cursed Energy pool was so deep that, it could create a pressure to people with 'unkind' intent, similar to Satoru's Six Eyes.
Even Todo could feel his aura just now, which caused him to swap, instead of Yoshi's cursed techniqie. Todo's intuition actually saved him from being ploughed through the building.
Now though, Mai slowly adapts to the dominating aura of Tsuyoshi, and her fan girl side kicks in.
"Kyaaah, Tsuyoshi san! I hate it when you scare me"! Mai declares with flushed cheeks as her eyes glaze over Tsuyoshi's naked torso.
'Gosh! Look at his beautiful face, his uncombed hair, his defined abs! And his chest... His magnificent chest' ! Mai thinks lustfully, nostrils flaring with heat.
Mai, Miwa and Nishimiya had been fangirling over Tsuyoshi ever since last year's Goodwill event. Maybe that is what'll happen if a strong young man that has a beautiful face with lean and muscular, tatted body that gives off bad boy vibes, absolutely crushes Kyoto High in a competition respectfully.
"What the hell"?! A voice called out in shock. Mai and Tsuyoshi turned to see Maki standing there, jaw agape.
Mai immediately did her best to adjust her attitude and turned to face Maki "Ah! Maki! You are such a loser that I didn't realise you were there"! But Mai's face was still flushed.
Maki however, just gave her an unbelieving look "Uh huh, says the one who was grovelling over my senpai".
Mai's face flushes red "No I'm not! I was just... just. Screw that! I will not let myself be questioned by someone who doesn't even have cursed energy!"
Maki calmly strikes back, "Says the one who only knows how to inject cursed energy into tools, instead cursed techniques".
Mai, now once again composed, fired back casually "Its still better than having no cursed energy at all, I'll get a sore neck if I always look up after all, I need this chance to look down on people like you".
Maki however, just waves her hand casually at the insult "Forget it, its shameful enough to bicker among losers, what would the strong think of us? Right? Yoshi Senpai"?
Tsuyoshi however just shrugs, unwilling to join in on the sibling's argument.
Maki sighs and turns to Nobara, "Nobara! Can you get up now"?
Mai however, just smirks "She won't be waking up for a while, I taught her a less-"!
But Mai was interrupted when Nobara sneaks around Tsuyoshi and holds Mai in a head lock from behind.
"Nice support, Maki san and the tall hunk"! Nobara calls out as she strengthens her position.
Yoshi just chuckles.
"How dare you open so many holes in my new sportswear! Give me your uniform! I'll make it my summer uniform"! Nobara demands.
"Next time, I'll add a few more holes in your actual body, besides, you won't fit into my dress with your short legs-*kuek*"! Mai's taunt was cut short as Nobara tightens her hold around Mai's neck, not allowing her to breathe.
"I'll kill you"! Nobara declares, her eyes smoking with killing intent.
"Time to go, Mai". Todo's voice called out to the strangling Mai.
"No way..." Nobara mutters and immediately releases her hold on Mai and retreated back towards Maki and Tsuyoshi.
"Where is Fushigiro"? Nobara worriedly asks.
As if on cue, Toge, Panda and Fushigiro, who was carried on Panda's back walked towards them.
Tsuyoshi then speaks up "Alright, let's get the both of you patched up. As for the Kyoto students! We'll see you during the event"!
Todo nods and smirks "Alright, be prepared"!
Mai however blushes and states "See you later, Yoshi kun"!
'Eh? Is Tsuyoshi senpai really this popular'? Both Megumi and Nobara thought simultaneously.
In a meeting room somewhere in Tokyo Jujutsu High School.
"I appreciate your 'care' a while ago, Principal Gakuganji." Gojo Satoru declares nonchalantly as he sat in the meeting room with Principal Gakuganji Yoshinobu of Kyoto Jujutsu High School, a member of the Higher-ups.
Gakuganji was supposed to have a meeting with Principal Yaga Masamichi about this year's goodwill event. But Satoru had lied to Yaga about the actual time of the meeting... By threatening poor Ijichi.
"What do you mean by a while ago"? Gakuganji asks as he strokes his beard.
"Stop acting dumb old man, I'm talking about the incident regarding my student, Itadori Yuji. As a leader of the conservatives, you have a part in it, no?" Gojo asks calmly and playfully, yet his intentions are anything but.
Gakuganji sighs, avoiding the question "Dear me, can youngsters nowadays not even speak to an elderly with respect?"
Gojo sits straight from his seat and replies "I have not intended to respect you from the beginning. Old people nowadays are so arrogant, they're giving me headaches".
After Gojo finished, Kasumi Miwa, who has standing near the entrance of the room spoke up seriosuly, "Please mind yourself, this attitude of yours is problematic. We'll report this to relevant departments".
But internally, Miwa was fangirling 'Oh God! It's Gojo Statoru! Gojo Satoru Himself!'
Satoru, however replied" Do as you please, I don't intend to stay for long".
Externally, Kasumi Miwa acts as if she was speechless due to Satoru's behaviour. But internally, Miwa was blushing 'He spoke to me! He spoke to me!'
Gojo Satoru then leaned forward and announces seriously "Last night, I was ambushed by two unregistered Special Grade cursed spirits."
Gakuganji seems to be shocked, but asks "That is really unlucky of you".
Gojo however, responded "Don't be mistaken, this ambush is nothing more than a casual street interview to me".
Kasumi Miwa on the other hand, blushes internally 'That, is so cool'!
Gojo pauses to let Gakuganji process the information before continuing "The two curses that attacked me are able to communicate, they will most likely have other companions that are on the same level. Its not only the enemy, Tsuyoshi, Hakari, Okkotsu and your Todo, the level of students have also increased greatly in recent years. Other than that, Geto Suguru's incident last year, and now with the appearance of Sukuna's vessel..."
Gakuganji was confused at what Gojo was getting at, so he asked" What are you getting at"?
Gojo chuckled before answering "Don't you get it yet? The power that you old geezers have been suppressing for the sake of lame tradition and status has begun to grow and surge. The world from now on can no longer be measured with Special Grade, if you think that I will be the only one that can be a threat, then you're in for one hell of a suffering, gramps"!
Gakuganji's previous calm face was now replaced by severe anger and answers Gojo threateningly, "What you say... Has crossed the line"!
Gojo Satoru sat back in mock fear and say "Ohhhh, so scary. Well then, I have said what I need to say, I'm leaving".
Satoru then got up and went out of the sliding door, but he suddenly peeks his head back into the room and announces before leaving "Oh yeah, Principal Yaga will arrive after two hours, bye bye"!
Miwa then exclaimed internally 'Two hours'?!
A remote Hot Spring in Japan
"Well, I believe Jogo will recover here well." A man with stitch line across his forehead suggests happily.
Miwa then exclaimed internally 'Two hours'?!
Mahito crouched down and put his hand into the water as he speaks giddily "Damn, that Gojo dude really did Jogo dirty huh"?
Jogo once again grumbled irritatingly.
Jogo didn't expect to be absolutely destroyed by Gojo Satoru last night. He only wanted to see if the rumours about the strongest sorcerer is true. The rumours understated Gojo Satoru it seems.
If it wasn't for Hanami, Jogo would most likely be exorcised last night. But what made him so irritated is that he was humiliated by Satoru.
"Indeed Mahito, Gojo Staoru is truly something else." Hanami speaks from beneath a tree.
"HAHAHA Oh my, are you guys intimidated by Gojo Satoru already? We could call off the entire plan if you guys like." Geto Suguru with stitch lines across his forehead laughs.
Jogo grumbles in the water, 'This Geto Suguru... Well then, his plan seems like the best route to take...'
"Well then, it seems my plan is the best path to take, don't you guys think"? Geto asks.
No one objects.
"But there is still one more problem." A fifth voice calls out.
Geto raises his eyebrows and asks "Oh? What would that be, 風夫 (Kazeo)"?
Kazeo, who reveals to be an older male cursed spirit, steps forward. He had pale white skin, long white hair past his shoulders that is unkept, he had a lanky body. He stood at 175 centimeters, he wore a white Haori. He has a sharp and long nose. His two eyes has no pupils or iris. Just the scelera. Making it pure white.
Kazeo was born from human's fear of wind related disasters. Geto believes his skills and ability are close, but not equal to Jogo.
Kazeo takes a deep breath and speaks in a well-behaved manner "According to what I know, there is a student who is regarded as one of the strongest in this era, some even consider him to be the strongest High School Student..."
Geto closes his eyes for a second as he thinks, but he soon figured out "Kazeo, could you be talking about Semi-Special grade sorcerer, Tsuyoshi"?
Then suddenly, a pair of eyes with blood red iris snapped open in the shadows of the trees.
Mahito can feel a shiver running down his spine as he looked at the pair of eyes.
Kazeo however, continues "Although his reputation is great, there is not much information about his true strength. We should test his abilities."
Geto snaps his eyes open, "Ho? Can you not see what happened to Jogo the last time he wanted to 'test' out Gojo Satoru? But its true, even I don't know much about this Tsuyoshi. All I know is that he was able to take out 3 of my special grades in a short time".
Kazeo nods and replies "That is exactly why we must test him out. Since I'm the one who suggested this, I'll carry it out".
Geto nods as he ponders 'It would be nice to figure out what this Tsuyoshi can do, he is too much of a mystery, and I need to know what threat he poses to my plan'.
Mahito then perks up "Are you sure Kazeo? It would be a shame if you turn into another Jogo. You are like a big brother to us after all. "
Jogo's vein popped out of his forehead at that.
Kazeo looks toward Mahito and answers "Don't worry Mahito, I'll be cautious. I'll retreat once I got the lay of his abilities, or when I'm in danger. No one is faster than me after all..."
"I'm coming with you."The pair of red eyes in the shadows of the trees called out.
Kazeo looked towards the eyes and answers," Are you sure Melania"?
Melania then slowly walks out the shadows, her heeled boots echoed everytime she took a step. Until she reveals herself in the daylight.
Melania had pale skin that looks almost unnatural, yet her long straight hair that cascades down to her waist is jet black. She wore a black gothic dress that hugs her curvy form tightly. She wore dark coloured jewelry and a black necklace that is wrapped fittingly around her neck.
She held a scythe in her right hand. And her european face... Her beauty was ethereal, her red pupils only highlights her mysterious beauty.
Not much is known about her among their group. Even Geto doesn't know much about her. He isn't even sure if she is a Cursed Spirit or Curse User. He just knew that Melania has an agenda regarding Tsuyoshi, but he didn't know what it was. That's why she is useful, Geto plans to figure out who Melania and Tsuyoshi are by letting them face off.
Melania nods gracefully at Kazeo and answers imperiously "Indeed Kazeo, I'll act as reinforcements, but I'll only act when I deem necessary, do not think of me as inferior".
Kazeo nods with uncertainty "Sure Melania".
After that, Malenia goes back into the shadows and disappears.
Mahito then got closer to Geto and whispers to him "Hey, why did you invite her in the first place, she creeps me out ya know. I don't even think she has the same goals as us".
Geto shrugs and whispers back "Regardless of her true goals, she is useful to figure out who this Tsuyoshi truly is. She can work with us for now until she serves her purpose".
The Clinic of Tokyo Jujutsu High School
"Alright, that should do it. " Ieri Shoko says to Megumi as she applies the finishing touches to Megumi's bandaged forehead.
"Thank you Ieri san." Megumi thanks Shoko for the treatment.
But then, Shoko notices something weird "Tsuyoshi kun, why aren't you wearing any shirt"?
Tsuyoshi, who was sitting on a chair, rubs the back of his head as he answers with a smile "Hehe well, I decided to sleep in today, so I woke up around noon. When I went to the bathroom, I suddenly sense somthing unusual, which I later figure out was the Kyoto students causing trouble, so I immediately went to check it out after I just slipped on a pair of joggers I could find, since I thought it was urgent, I didn't waste the time to put on any shirt. That's why I'm not wearing any shirt".
Shoko nods at that "Well, that clears it."
'Eh? Tsuyoshi senpai has a habit of sleeping in?' Megumi wonders.
Panda then speaks up "Now that's out of the way, let's properly introduce Tsuyoshi Senpai to the first years"!
Tsuyoshi stood up from the chair and introduces himself confidently "My name is Tsuyoshi! You guys can call me Yoshi! I am a 3rd year student, if you guys have any questions feel free to ask"!
Nobara raises her hand, "Senpai, don't you have a family name"?
The second years all gasped in shock at Nobara's question. As they have already went through this.
Tsuyoshi then answers genuinely "No, I don't, unfortunately I have never met the person who named me."
Maki slapped the back of Nobara's head and said "Who the hell asks that kind of question"!
Authors note: It was Maki among the 2nd years who asked Tsuyoshi why he didn't have a surname.
Nobara rubs the spot Maki had hit her and answers akwardly "How... How... How would I know that"?!
Tsuyoshi chuckles kindly and signals them to calm down "Guys, Its alright."
After they all settled down once again, Megumi then asks "Tsu-, I mean Yoshi Senpai, will you be attending the Goodwill event"?
Tsuyoshi nods and answers "I will."
"But I thought the third years are all suspended?" Nobara asks.
Tsuyoshi sighs "Indeed, we're still suspended. But Gojo sensei and principal Yaga had asked the higher-ups to lift my suspension, but Kinji and Kirara is still suspended".
"Ooooooh." The first years understood.
Maki took off her spectacles to clean it as she asks, "So Senpai, will you be training with us tomorrow"?
Yoshi nodded and replied "Of course I will, I need to make sure My condition is in peak form."
"Well then, do you think you can train us"? Panda asks.
"Salmon." Toge agreed for Yoshi to train them.
"I really need someone who knows what they're doing to spar with me anyways." Maki claims nonchalantly.
Megumi thought for a moment before asking Tsuyoshi "Yoshi senpai, it would be great if you could train me. I wish to become stronger to protect those I care. I don't want to fail again..."
"Me too Yoshi Senpai!" Nobara declares as she raises her hand.
Tsuyoshi rubs his chin as he considers, but after a while he accepts "Very well, we'll start tomorrow".
I apologize for the delay guys, just had my uni exams.
This chapter is quite long, we can see that Yoshi has now mastered Amara's domain, Gojo's trust in Yoshi to reveal Yuji's fake death. Also, I added two unregistered special grade curses to Jogo's group,since Jjk emphasizes heavily on balancing. But what do you guys think is Melania's motivation? Is she loyal to Jogo's cause? Probably not.
Next chapter, Tsuyoshi will begin his junior's training.
