A gust of wind violently tore through the destroyed blowing debris through the air, the twenty curses ravaged through town unharmed, as Miguel and Mute were surrounded by the scared sorcerers, Miguel and Mute glanced around before a chaotic grin appeared on Mute's face as he lunged towards the group while twitching his fingers.
A massive web of string shot toward the group of sorcerers before a ginger woman wearing a black suit raised her palm forward. The air started to crackle with energy until the web of string suddenly disappeared. Surprising Mute, seeing that the woman could be a threat, Mute quickly extended his palm forward and shrunk the distance between him and the woman. Before the woman could react, Mute tightly grabbed onto the woman's body lifting her up into the air.
Mute started to inject cursed energy into the woman's body. Feeling the curse energy entering her body, the woman started to fight back by slamming her fist onto Mute's wrist but it was of no use. A second later, her head abruptly jerked to the right, making a loud snapping noise. Mute held onto the lifeless boy with a grin on his face until he heard a yell followed by loud footsteps.
Mute watched as a teary-eyed man sprinted towards him. Clearly, the woman Mute had just killed was important to him. Miguel watched as the man emotionally sprinted towards Mute until Miguel grinned and murmured under his breath.
" This won't last long. "
Mute started to slowly walk towards the sprinting man with a cruel grin on his face, Mute's footsteps echoed out entering the scared sorcerer's ears until the sound vanished, the sprinting man's teary eyes widened seeing Mute's body vanish, before a confused look appeared on his face, he was feeling something odd.
The man felt his head falling? Unbeknownst to the man, Mute had easily blitzed past him, the man's body kept sprinting as his head was cleanly sliced off, Mute looked back at the sprinting headless body with a grin.
The headless corpse took a few more steps before flopping onto the ground, next to another sorcerer's feet. The sorcerer stared at the corpse in shock. His legs started to shake until he felt a hand grab onto his shoulder. He looked to his right confused before his fear doubled seeing Mute holding onto his shoulder.
The other sorcerers' eyes instantly locked onto Mute holding onto a man's shoulders. The man kept on trembling until his body was severed. His torso slid off his body collapsing next to the headless body.
Mute kicked the lower half of his body onto the ground before he yawned, before glancing at Miguel. Miguel watched as Mute playfully pointed to the left before a weak kick slammed into Miguel's face. The kick didn't even make Miguel flinch. Miguel's left hand flickered as he tightly gripped onto the heel of the sorcerer who threw the kick.
The sorcerer who threw the kick was a blonde woman with red highlights. Miguel started to walk forward while holding onto the woman's heel forcing her to hop back using her left leg. Miguel let go of the woman's heel before throwing a lightning-fast kick that slammed into the woman's left knee, dislocating it.
The woman dropped down onto the clutching her knee in pain before Miguel stomped onto the woman's head knocking her unconscious. Miguel started to glance at the scared sorcerers. The sorcerers had given up on fighting Miguel and Mute instead their eyes glanced around trying to find an opportunity to escape.
Until one of the sorcerers, a young black-haired man, dashed, running towards the barrier. Mute watched the man sprint away before he scoffed and extended his palm towards the fleeing man. Mute was about to use his technique before he saw something approaching the man. Mute dropped his hand to his waist as a grin appeared on his face.
A figure dashed toward the fleeing man before it spun slamming a kick into the man's back knocking him to the ground. The man started to push himself off the ground before a stomp slammed into the back of his head knocking him unconscious. The figure that chased down the man was Negi.
Negi rubbed his shoes on the head of the man with a cocky grin on his face before he looked over at Mute and Miguel and spoke.
" I decided to come over here, it looks like y'all were having fun. I didn't want to miss the party. "
Negi started to walk towards the group until a loud explosion rippled out. Everyone looked over towards a massive smoke cloud before a silhouette came flying out of the smoke cloud repeatedly slamming onto the ground. The figure came to a grinding halt, as Larue walked over towards the body with light leaking off his body.
Larue had finally caught the sorcerer hiding in the shadows. Larue's body was covered in small cuts clearly his fight hadn't been as easy as Mute's and Miguel's, Larue walked over to the sorcerer, before grabbing him by the hair and pulling him up from the ground, Larue pushed the sorcerer making him stumble forward before throwing a power punch that slammed into the back of the sorcerer's head.
The sorcerer was knocked out cold.
Larue started to strut towards the remaining group with an annoyed look on his face. Mute saw all of Geto's group arriving to battle the remaining sorcerers. Let out a grin before he spun abruptly slamming his fist into a young girl knocking her out cold.
The sudden attack caught the sorcerers off guard, before they started to flee from Geto's group, Mute watched the sorcerers starting to run away before he waved his hand freezing their movements, the group of sorcerers started to run in place as Mute slowly approached them, with his cloak flapping in the wind.
The ominous sound of Mute's footsteps approaching made sweat pour down the sorcerers' faces. Mute was about to send a sharp piece of string towards the frozen sorcerers until he suddenly looked to his left sensing a powerful energy entering the city. Mute stared at the energy until his earpiece started to admit a message and instantly a grin appeared on Mute's face as he put his hands behind his head.
The frozen sorcerers suddenly regained their movements. They looked around confused until Mute spoke, catching the attention of the sorcerers.
"Let's play a game. I'll give you three minutes to run away and hide. The only rule is that you can't leave the boundaries of the barrier. If you do you'll be instantly killed. But don't worry I won't be the one seeking you. They will. "
Mute said pointing behind him using his thumb, he was pointing at the rest of Geto's group. Without a second of hesitation around 15 sorcerers all started to sprint into barely standing town. Geto's group looked at Mute confused before Miguel spoke.
" Why did you let them go and hide? "
Mute looked back at Miguel before speaking.
" Geto just entered the barrier. I'm guessing he wants to do something with the remaining sorcerers, so might as well have fun with it. "...
Three minutes later three sorcerers could still be seen running through the destroyed town breathing heavily. Instead of hiding they decided to keep on running making Geto's group chase them. The sorcerers entered an alleyway running between two broken brick walls. Their footsteps stepped in unison, as they pivoted and dashed to the right.
They kept on running until a blonde woman wearing a white kimono pointed towards the right side of the town and spoke.
" Hey, Lireo and Kare, look Geto's group has started to move. It's only a point of time until they find us. "
Lerio looked over towards her before nodding his head. Lerio was a man with long brown hair that dangled to his shoulders. He wore a black robe. Lerio kept running with the others closely following him.
They ran under a bent wooden light pole before a chuckle was heard. Lerio's eyes widened as he came to a sliding stop and looked back but the blonde woman was gone. Kare looked around confused. Kare was a tan man with short black hair wearing a gray suit.
Kare kept on looking as the sound of cruel chuckles surrounded them. Kare and Lerio kept on looking until blood started to drip onto Kare's face. Kare looked up before his eyes widened. The blonde woman was hung from the light pole. Blood leaked out of her mouth as she struggled to breathe. Kare stared at her in shock before the sound of light footsteps entered his ears.
Kare looked forward and watched as Mimiko and Nanako walked towards him and Lerio with evil grins on their faces. Nanako looked at Kare before speaking.
" Consider yourself lucky, Geto needs at least five sorcerers alive. So follow us and maybe you'll be able to live. "
Kare glared at Nanako angrily before he pointed towards her and spoke.
" If you're going to leave some alive- "
Before Kare could finish his sentence the sound of a photo being taken rippled out. Kare looked at Nanako confused before he looked down and noticed that his arm was gone. Kare screamed out in pain as blood gushed out of his missing arm. The sound of laughter could be heard before Mimiko spoke.
"It's about time you did that Nanako. I was growing annoyed with him. But apparently, Miguel has caught five others already. "
Kare dropped to his knees while a puddle of blood formed under him. Nanako let out a loud sigh. Before she took another picture, she destroyed Kare's body as Lerio watched in horror before he stumbled back. He took a few steps back before a noose wrapped around his neck and he was flung up into the air.
Lerio swung through the air trying to breathe until he slowly suffocated to death...
In the middle of the destroyed town, five sorcerers were standing surrounded by Geto and his group. Geto grinned staring at the group of sorcerers before he spoke.
" All right, Suda, did you get the camera? "
Suda nods her head before walking towards Geto holding onto a camera. Geto quickly looks at Mimiko before speaking.
" Hold the camera for us Mimiko and make sure the group is in the frame. "
Mimiko holds the camera on her head as she starts to roll a video of Geto standing directly in front of the group of sorcerers. Geto coughs before talking.
" Jujutsu higher-ups, I have a message to send to all of you. Don't worry the message will be brief. "
Geto said with a cruel grin on his face. Geto quickly stepped out of the way of the camera revealing the group of sorcerers standing together in fear. The sorcerers stared at the camera horrified as Geto spoke off-camera.
" I'm sure you know my ideals by now, however, I usually don't kill sorcerers. But that changes now. Every sorcerer that gets in front of my ideals will be killed. So you higher-ups do what you usually do, sit back and watch. "
As soon as Geto finishes his speech, a razor-sharp string flies toward the sorcerers effortlessly slicing their heads off. Blood spews out raining onto the camera as Geto walks into frame before waving and playfully speaking.
" That is all. Bye-Bye "
Mimiko tapped the right side of the camera turning off the video, Mimiko let out a loud sigh before handing the camera to Larue, Geto started to walk towards Mute who was cleaning blood off his string, Mute glanced at the walking Geto before asking him a question.
" What was the point of videotaping us killing the sorcerers? "
Geto smirked before answering Mute's question.
" Because the Jujutsu higher-ups are cowards, they'll become scared to send sorcerers to come and save the towns. And I'm sure they won't mention this video to the public because if they do they'll be forced to make an early move. "
Mute just nodded his head before the barrier above him faded away. Mute started to walk away from Geto and his group until Nanako suddenly called out to him.
" Hey, where are you going Mute? Hurry and gather around us. We're taking a picture. "
Mute sighed before walking over to Nanako and Mimiko standing with the rest of Geto's group. Mute grabbed onto his black mask before taking it off his face. Geto was holding onto the camera before he snapped his fingers creating the tortoise curse from the restaurant. Geto placed the camera on the tortoise's shell before hurriedly walking over to Mute.
The camera had a 10-second delay on it, Geto stood next to Mute as the camera flashed taking a picture, Geto grinned as he walked over to the camera...
Three days later. The exact same picture could be seen in a picture frame. Inside a log cabin. The sound of laughter could be heard throughout the log cabin. During the three days, Geto and the others decided to take a little "vacation". Geto and Mute could be seen around a pool table as Mute set up the rack.
While Mute set up the rack, Geto started to talk to him while leaning on the pool table twisting a pool cue with his left hand.
" I must admit it's nice to see you getting comfortable around my group of misfits. "
Mute scoffed while lifting the rack off the table and placing it on a hook embedded in wooden logs. Mute reached over grabbing a pool cue before talking.
" Truthfully, this is the first group I've been in that I haven't hated so I must thank you for this, but it's your turn to go first. "
Mute said, Geto grinned before lining up his shot, getting ready before he cockily spoke.
" You owe me $100 if I get all of them. "
Geto says while hitting the white pool ball before it slams into the rest of the pool balls, the balls scatter bouncing off the walls of the pool table however, not a single ball goes in. Geto looked at the table annoyed as Mute scoffed while walking past Geto, going towards the white ball in the left corner of the table.
" Tch, I would have given you $100 if you could have at least hit one of them in, but do you want stripes or solids, Geto? "
Mute said cockily, before Geto could respond. Mute hit the white ball, bouncing it off the side of a solid number 8 ball, making it rattle into the hole. Geto looked at Mute annoyed as he lined up his next shot.
Mute hit the white ball however, it narrowly missed a solid ball before bouncing repeatedly off the walls and coming to a stop in the middle of the table. Mute smacked his lips as he leaned off the table and glanced at Geto. Geto glanced back at Mute before a grin appeared on his face and he spoke.
"Let's make a bet Mute. "
Mute watched as Geto snapped his fingers and the tortoise appeared with a bottle of Malibu on its shell. Geto picked up the bottle before placing it on a small wooden draw next to the pool table.
" Every time we knock a ball in, the other has to take a swig of this. But Suda and the others are going to get back from shopping soon and Suda hates alcohol so we need to hurry up and finish this game. "
Mute smirks before giving Geto a thumbs up, Geto lines his pool cue before knocking a stripe ball in, Geto quickly reaches and grabs the bottle before happily handing it over to Mute...
Twenty minutes quickly pass. Suda and the others have arrived back at the cabin holding onto bags of groceries. They are about to enter the cabin when they hear loud laughter. Suda enters the cabin confused before her eyes widen seeing a drunk Geto and Mute talking to each other.
Suda started to look around the cabin before seeing a bottle of Malibu on the wooden drawer. A vein popped out of Suda's head before she tossed her groceries to Mimiko behind her who barely caught them using her index finger.
Suda walked over towards Geto before Geto stared at the approaching Suda shocked, he didn't hear her enter the cabin. Suda stopped directly in front of Geto before talking.
" So, what do you think you're doing?"
Geto's eyes scanned around trying to find an excuse for the alcohol bottle before he sighed and tried his best to come up with a lie.
" That bottle is just a prop and isn't the real thing- "
Before Geto could finish making his lie, Suda quickly interrupted him.
" Bullshit, do you think I'm a toddler?"
As Geto and Suda argued, Nanako walked towards them before stopping behind Suda and asking a question.
" Is alcohol really that bad? I've never had it before. "
Suda snapped her head back before answering her question.
" Yes, it messes with your head, but Geto follow me. Nanako doesn't need to pick up any bad habits from you. "
Nanako watched as Geto and Suda walked towards the other side of the cabin confused until she felt someone tapping her left shoulder. Nanako looked to her left and up before seeing Mute grinning at her before he handed something to her.
On the other side of the cabin, next to a brick fireplace, Suda and Geto continued to argue.
" We've had this conversation plenty of times Geto. You can't handle liquor well. Every time you get drunk you do rash actions and blow thousands. And worst of all- "
Before Suda could finish her sentence, the sound of coughing entered her ears, before drunk laughter echoed off the walls. Suda turned around and saw Nanako repeatedly coughing while holding onto the bottle of Malibu. Suda looked to the left of Nanako and saw Mute covering his face, but through his fingers, a smile could be seen peeking through.
Mute continued to laugh as veins popped out of Suda's forehead, as she forgot about Geto and started to storm towards Mute angrily. While this was happening, Mimiko and the others stared at the scene in front of them helplessly until Mimiko sighed and spoke.
" Looks like this group has become much more lively. "...
