" There's no need to make a plan, this is as far as you will go. "
Says Mute, as the stunned group of sorcerers stared at him, terrified as his powerful killing intent leaked off his body, the elderly woman's heart beat rapidly, and sweat poured down her face as she tightly balled up her wrinkled old fist, before she yanked her shoulder back, throwing a punch towards Mute. Mute stares at the punch coming towards him before a frail piece of string is flung towards her aged arm.
The elderly woman watches in shock as her arm is cleanly cut off. Blood spews out of the elderly woman's missing arm as she stumbles back in agony. The middle-aged man quickly throws a kick before Mute's body disappears.
Kenta's eyes quickly glance around, trying to find Mute before he notices a small string dangling around his neck. He looks up and sees Mute standing on a light pole above them. Before Kenta could react his head was severed off. Blood spurted out of Kenta's neck like a fountain as his body collapsed onto the ground.
The other sorcerers stared at headless Kenta in shock before they watched Mute leap off the light pole landing next to Kenta's corpse before he spoke.
"If you kneel, I promise to make it painless"...
As this attack on the town was happening, a meeting was being held by the Jujutsu higher-ups. The meeting subject was quite simple. The discussion was about how to deal with Mute and Geto. The meeting was held online, instead of in person. This would turn out to be a mistake.
The online meeting had been going on for around thirty minutes. Until the final topic was brought up.
" So, what's the plan for dealing with them?"
Said one of the higher-ups, the meeting call went quiet until a feminine voice spoke.
" Before we can discuss how to deal with them, we first need to find out their ideals. We already know Geto's, however, we don't know Mute's or why he is working with Geto. "
The meeting call went quiet as the higher-ups pondered to themselves, trying to find out Mute's motive, based on how long the silence lasted. It looked like they couldn't figure it out. The call stayed quiet until an elderly voice spoke in a raspy tone.
"It's quite simple. If they were separate instead of being in alliance, we would just hunt one down before turning and attacking the other, but if the two special grades are allied with each other we can't take one down and then turn and defeat the other. In other words, they're allied for protection against us. "
The feminine voice from earlier quickly responded to the elderly man.
" That's definitely a theory, but I doubt it's that simple. But my opinion from the last meeting remains the same. I still think it's too early to take action. We know Mute is special grade but we don't know if he's stronger than Gojo or Yuki yet. "
The elderly man and the other higher-ups hummed in agreement before the meeting went quiet again. Clearly, the meeting was running out of topics to discuss. Seeing this, the elderly man spoke once again.
" I agree, we should wait an extra month or two, then we can make final discussion, but that's the meeting, close the meeting. "
The other higher-ups including the elderly man all left in unison leaving the meeting call barren except for one user. Who sat on the call by themselves and behind the user of that call was a young teenage boy at Kyoto Jujutsu High.
Mechamura could be seen in robotic form sitting next to a laptop. He had clearly hacked into the meeting to see what the higher-ups were discussing. Standing directly behind Mechamura was Utahime also listening to the meeting. An annoyed look was clearly present on Utahime's face until she smacked her lips annoyed, and angrily spoke.
" That useless meeting, what did they even discuss that was worthwhile? All they basically said is. Yeah, let's, let Mute and Geto run rampant for a little longer while they slaughter thousands of innocent people. What kind of decision was that? "
Utahime stared at Mechamaru with her hands in the air, Mechamaru just shook his head not knowing what to say, Utahime sighed really loudly before she spoke to Mechamaru again.
" I know I can trust you Mechamaru but don't tell anyone that we hacked into that meeting or it's our heads. I'm going to tell Gojo about the higher-ups' plans. So, stay safe Mechamaru. "
Utahime waved her hand at Mechamaru before exiting out of the room. Mechamaru stared at the door before he looked at the ceiling and spoke.
" You can trust me, huh "...
Back at the large town right outside of Tokyo, the barrier had finally faded revealing a destroyed town. Right outside the town was a group of dead sorcerers. Mute could be seen standing next to the corpses talking to Mimiko. They were clearly arguing with each other.
" The way you kill is far more cruel than mine."
Yelled out Mimiko, Mute stared at her bewildered before responding.
" You hang people, I usually kill my targets by quickly slicing their heads off. Which one is more painless?"
Mimiko looks at Mute with an annoyed face until she looks over and sees Geto and Nanako walking towards her and Mute. Clearly, the destruction of the town was a great success. Mute's job during the destruction of the town was quite simple. Mute was meant to stop any sorcerers from entering the barrier.
" Looks like we make an alright team, don't you think, Mute? "
Says Geto with a grin...
