Jujutsu high.
" Sukuna...Ryomen Sukuna?" Suguru asked in surprise and Satoru body instantly became tense.
" Yes, Ryomen Sukuna the king of curses" Masamachi nodded in confirmation leaving the entire class stunned.
" Are we really going to seal the finger of Sukuna isn't that meant for the experienced sorcerers?" Suguru asked in confusion, the task of sealing the finger of Ryomen Sukuna wasn't actually hard but it was the fact that cursed spirits are most likely to appear at the spot the finger is----third grade, second grade, first grade and even a special grade curse spirit appearing wouldn't be shocking.
" Yeah, the sealing of Sukuna finger is always given to the experienced sorcerers but this time it's different..." Masamachi said as he shockingly smiled wryly, "...the higher ups feel like you three are best suited for the task"
" Well, since it's the higher-ups command it's not like we can disobey right?" Suguru said as he shrugged his shoulder with a wry smile.
" Don't worry I won't hold you guys back" Shoko chimed in from the side.
Suguru smiled as he turned to Satoru only to notice him staring at the floor in silence.
" Satoru are you okay?" Suguru asked in concern.
Satoru silently unclenched his clenched fist and stared at Suguru with a smile, " Yeah, I'm okay I was just too hyped up by the fact that I may be able fight some super grade curse spirit"
Suguru raised an eyebrow noticing his friend weirdness but didn't ask.
" Let's go" Masamachi said already walking out.
As he followed Masamachi, Satoru mind was anything but calm.
' Is this it? the first time I'll meet Sukuna?' Satoru thought.
Ryomen Sukuna, the king of curses was a famous figure in the sorcerer world, known to be the strongest sorcerer and curse user who ever lived, to the world he wasn't a human but a wolf in sheep clothing---to Satoru he is the one who might kill him.
' No, I wouldn't meet him after all the first time he truly appeared in the modern era is through possession of Yuji Itadori!' Satoru thought as his tense body relax,
' We'll just go and reseal the finger there's no way the plot would change right?'
.....
The sealed finger wasn't in Tokyo but Tochigi Prefecture meaning they had to take a Shinkansen¹ to reach the sealing site fast.
After stepping out from the train they met the assistant managing the mission.
" Hello my name is Haruto Tanaka and I'll be assisting you guys in the successful execution of the mission" Haruto, a middle aged man said as he bowed with a smile.
" Hmm, we will be in your care " Masamachi said with a curt nod.
Haruto still with his professional smile led them out of the station into a black car.
After getting in the car, Haruto turned to Masamachi and asked, " You should have been given the mission details?"
Masamachi nodded, " Yes it's the sealing of Ryomen Sukuna is it not?"
" Hmm" Haruto hummed in agreement as he drove the car, " This time they are two finger to be sealed and the Kyoto jujutsu high would assist you"
"Eh?"
The four from the Tokyo Jujutsu high let out involuntarily gasps.
" Why the gathering, the sealing process shouldn't be that hard right?" Masamachi voiced his confusion, adding, " It's not like the seal is almost eroded right?"
The man smile as he shook his head, " I don't know I'm just a lowly assistant I can't know such information"
Masamachi said nothing more as he sank deep into his thoughts----the collaboration with the Kyoto jujutsu high didn't make any sense as the seal on Sukuna finger hadn't reach the point where it could attract numerous special grade curse spirit; one maybe but not numerous.
' Or is to Foster a sense of camaraderie between Satoru and the Kyoto jujutsu high?' Masamachi seriously pondered, ' But why didn't principal Yamamoto tell me this?"
The more he thought the more Masamachi felt something was wrong.
" We're here" Haruto words snapped Masamachi from his reverie.
Their stop and the sealing site was actually a a temple, even from the tinted glass of the car they could see the thick purple miasma that rose to the sky and numerous low grade curse spirit who roamed the building surrounding, though they couldn't enter.
As Satoru and the others stepped out from the car, the curse spirits like dogs smelling raw meat rushed towards them.
" Curse technique: sonic severance!"
Suddenly with a shout, multiple wind blades appeared dismembering the curse spirits.
The group of five weren't to surprised as they turned to their side where two middle aged men stood surrounded by three teenagers----the one who had attacked was one of the middle aged men, holding a Shamisen¹, he wore a dark colored kimono with purple accents, a black kasa¹ hung over his head and his expression was filled with irritation.
" You're late" The man said dryly as he stared at Masamachi.
" hahaha, traffic traffic" Haruto said with a stiff smile.
" Hmph" the man snorted as he turned to the three teenagers behind him, " These are my students, Utahime lori, Shoma Zenin and Fujiwara Sakurako"
The teenagers being introduced bowed slightly.
Masamachi stared at them for a while before turning to his students, " They are Gojo Satoru, Shoko leiri and Suguru Geto"
The man eyes lingered at Satoru for a while before walking towards the temple followed by his students.
As Masamachi and the others also walked towards the temple, Suguru shifted to Satoru's side.
" That's Yoshinubo Gakuganji, the teacher for the first year students in Kyoto" Suguru said.
" Hmm, I know" Satoru said as he raised his head and stared at the temple which reeked of cursed energy----because of Gakuganji actions the curse spirit who had lingered around the temple where gone.
After reaching the temple entrance, Gakuganji turned back and stared at the six students.
" We won't be following you anymore, from now on the resealing of the fingers is your mission" Gakuganji said sternly, " Though the barrier is able to stop low grade curse---third grade and the rest from second grade upwards the barrier outside is unable to do anything so be prepared to encounter any of those"
After giving his instructions, Gakuganji and Masamachi with the two assistant walked away from the temple to their car leaving the students alone.
Suddenly, Shoma Zenin stared at Satoru his eyes filled with envy and jealousy, " I hope the arrogant young master from the Gojo clan won't hold us back"
" Eh?" Satoru who had been staring at the temple paused and tilted his head slightly staring at Shoma, " Hold you back? How can a Zenin without the mastered Ten shadows technique think he can match up with me pathetic!"
Watching the angry Shoma, Satoru didn't stop instead he turned to the other two Kyoto jujutsu high students, " You should have said ' I hope I and my classmates won't hold the great Satoru Gojo back' "
Utahime and Sakurako caught in the cross fire paused for a moment before glaring at Satoru.
"You...!"
But Satoru didn't wait for their words already walking inside temple.
" This isn't like him" Shoko mummured to Suguru receiving a nod from him as he stared at Satoru with concern.
And both of them where correct, though he looked calm outwardly, inwardly his mind was a mess.
' After resealing the finger, if I can't destroy it then I would protect it with my life they wouldn't be a protagonist named Yuji Itadori' Satoru thought and just as he stepped into the temple the chat group---unsummoned---appeared before his eyes.
[Ding!]
