_______________________________________________________________________________
Two weeks, it took exactly two weeks for the incident in Shibuya to finally begin.
The event that would trigger a dark future, beyond the control of the sorcerers.
When the barrier was raised, trapping thousands of civilians, the Jujutsu school immediately took action.
But at this point, they could only hope for the worst, while sending Gojo in alone.
There wasn't much they could do after all, since the barrier prevented everyone except Gojo Satoru from entering. Because of this, they split into teams to assist the sorcerer, aiming to limit the amount of damage.
But as long as the barrier stood, there wasn't much they could do.
And Itadori, intending to resolve this as quickly as possible, ended up in Mei Mei's team.
Fortunately, the Grade 1 sorcerer recognized Itadori's strength enough to listen to his ideas.
"It would be better to split up. I can destroy the talisman that keeps this barrier up, while you look for the talismans that maintain the barrier that repels sorcerers." In front of the subway station entrance, Itadori suggested, his expression changing as he seemed to think of a plan. "For a barrier to repel sorcerers, it must have some obvious counterpoint, like its talismans being positioned somewhere visible."
"That's a good plan, but we can't separate our forces like this, there's a cluster of powerful curses below us, and if they get through, it will be a problem for the others." The woman explained, to which Itadori nodded in agreement.
There was a lot to be done, and he couldn't prevent Gojo's sealing even if he wanted to. Even if he could reach the station, he would only get in his teacher's way.
The best he could do was to minimize the strength of the curses as much as possible and recover a sealed Gojo.
But for that, he needed to know if the teacher had actually been sealed, since there was a chance it hadn't happened, due to Hanami's absence.
'No… Without Hanami, Kenjaku will probably send some powerful curses to help, and even Choso might become more active to make up for her absence.'
Itadori sighed, his eyes moving to Mei Mei and Ui Ui, noticing that they seemed to be whispering to each other.
This made him regard it with disdain.
"Can we continue?"
He asked, which made the woman nod in agreement.
"Yes, but as I said, there are some powerful curses below, do you think you can handle it?"
Itadori scoffed at this, at this point, he didn't think any stupid curse could do more than irritate him.
"We'll see."
.
"I'm smart, I'm very smart."
Inside the station, a grasshopper-like curse was devouring a human it had just taken down.
Its name? It didn't have a name, the only thing it knew was that it was smart, smarter than anyone.
That's why these humans were now being consumed by it, because they were idiots, and idiots served as food for the smart ones.
That's what it believed, and if it believed it, it was because it was true, after all, it was very smart.
"Huh?"
But as the grasshopper seemed focused on chewing, its attention turned to the station stairs, its eyes landing on a figure that had just descended.
"Hey, what are you looking at-"
Boom!
But just as it was about to stand up, the grasshopper was unable to react as a fist pierced its skull, its head exploding into pieces while its body fell to the ground.
In the end, it wasn't that smart after all.
"Is this the talisman?"
Itadori, wiping his hands, wondered as he approached an object stuck in the ground. He noticed it was covered in paper talismans, so it didn't take long to deduce what it must be.
And with a simple kick, he destroyed it into pieces.
"Mahito must still be here, probably in the deepest underground level of the station." Moving forward, he jumped over a railing, landing on the train tracks. "But it doesn't matter, I'll find him sooner or later, for now, I just need to keep up the pace."
Running along the tracks, he soon noticed Mei Mei's approach.
"Oh, you were quick, I'm impressed."
He accepted the compliment but didn't react much as he focused on running.
"Hey, accept my sister's compliment."
Itadori's face soured, deciding to ignore the strange sibling duo.
!
But as they were moving, Itadori froze when he felt something stick to his ear, his hand quickly moving to grab and remove the object.
"Wait, wait!"
But a voice made him stop, raising his eyebrow in confusion.
"This is Mechamaru, from Kyoto school!"
Recognition lit up the boy's face, realizing he had completely forgotten about this man's existence.
"We don't have much time, so I'll only say this once.
Gojo Satoru has been sealed!"
.
Itadori had received a new task, and that was to reveal Gojo's status to the rest of the sorcerers.
In total, there were three barriers. Along with Mei Mei, they destroyed the third one, leaving only the barrier that repels sorcerers and the one that traps civilians.
After informing about the teacher's sealing, he needed to undo the barrier that repelled the sorcerers as quickly as possible. Fortunately, his meta-knowledge allowed him to know that the talismans were in the tallest building in the district.
"Itadori, good news! They can't move Gojo from the underground."
Itadori smiled at this. Fortunately, things hadn't changed enough for him to feel lost about what to do.
"Then let's take advantage of this."
Crossing the barrier that trapped civilians, he quickly moved among the people while eliminating some transfigured humans.
His eyes narrowed when he noticed there were too many curses, but he didn't let it shake him as he climbed a building. In the end, he alone wouldn't be able to save everyone.
Observing the landscape for a moment, Itadori took a deep breath.
"Nanami! Gojo has been sealed!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.
From that moment on, everything could be different.
