Three days quickly passed since Nanami almost died from the cursed spirit's explosion. The date is December 11th and inside a small town outside of Tokyo, a group of Jujutsu High sorcerers could be seen. Maki, Panda, Inumaki, and Yuta could all be seen jumping from roof to roof chasing after a rogue cursed spirit.
The spirit was shaped like a lizard but it had several tails and three heads. The lizard had black scales and was fleeing from the sorcerers. A portion of the spirit's arm was blown off, only being a grade 3 curse, the spirit didn't know how to heal.
The lizard jumped to another roof before Maki appeared in front of it thrusting her spear towards it. The lizard stared at the spear before it flexed its muscles, contorting his body, narrowly dodging the spear. The spirit quickly tried to escape by rolling off the roof, falling into a dark alleyway. The lizard was about to run before he heard a loud grunt and looked up into the sky. The lizard watched as Maki leaped from the roof and fell towards the Lizard with her spear pointed towards it. The spirit lets out a quiet growl and was about to dash back until a voice spoke.
" Don't move. "
Says Inumaki freezing the lizard's movements, the lizard stares at the falling Maki terrified before the spear pierces through the lizard's skull, killing it instantly. The lizard collapses onto the ground making a loud thud before slowly turning into ash.
Maki stands in the pile of ash before looking at Inumaki and giving him a thumbs up. A grin appears on Inumaki's face as he nods his head.
On the other side of the town, Yuta and Panda could be seen standing next to each other. They gave up on killing the curse, knowing Maki could do it, and decided to go on a walk through the town.
Yuta and Panda playfully walked through the town before Yuta's movements suddenly halted as intense killing intent engulfed his body. Yuta looked up at a building rooftop and stared at a cloaked figure wearing a mask glaring at him. Yuta's legs began to shake feeling the intense killing intent until Panda looked at Yuta confused until he spoke to him.
" Hey, what's wrong Yuta? "
Yuta quickly pointed with his wobbly arm at the rooftop and spoke.
" T-There's someone strong right there on the roof. "
Panda turned around and looked at the roof, however, no one was there causing Panda to look back at him even more confused. Yuta stared at the empty roof with sweat pouring down his face...
Thirty minutes later Mute could be seen standing on a roof next to Geto. Mute and Geto are having a conversation. Geto looks over at Mute before asking a question.
" So, how was Yuta? "
Mute just shrugs his shoulders before responding.
" Eh, he has a lot of curse energy but besides that, he doesn't look that strong. He started trembling from just feeling my killing intent. But to be fair, I didn't see him use Rika, so I didn't see his full power. "
Geto nods his head before he speaks.
" Looks like the time for us to retrieve Rika is drawing near. "
Mute nods his head in agreement as Geto creates the bird-cursed spirit. Mute and Geto quickly climb onto the bird before it flies up into the sky. Mute and Geto fly through the sky as they continue the conversation.
" You're going to battle Gojo with Miguel as the others attack the city helping the curses. While this is happening, I'll go battle Yuta quickly killing him and stealing Rika before I come back and help you and Miguel battle Gojo. "
Says Geto, Mute nods his head before responding.
" Sounds good to me, but do you really think Nananko and the others are going to be able to last against the first-grade sorcerers? "
Geto just shook his head before responding.
" I doubt they'll be able to win but if they group up as we planned they'll be able to last at least 30 minutes, but the real question is how long can you last against Gojo? "
Mute scoffed before putting his hands behind his head and speaking.
" I'll be fine, but you mentioned meeting Yuta before the attacks on Kyoto and Tokyo? When do you plan on meeting him? "
A grin appeared on Geto's face as he answered the question.
" In a week. "...
