Harajuku Station.
Araki Itsuki and the others were waiting idly for the last freshman to arrive: Kugisaki Nobara.
Itadori Yuji touched his new uniform, "It fits really well, but it's subtly different from Fushiguro Megumi's."
Gojo Satoru took a sip of fresh milk, "Uniforms can be modified according to personal preference."
"But I didn't apply for any modifications."
"The one you're wearing is one I casually modified for you."
Itadori Yuji touched his forehead. What an unreliable teacher. Never mind, he liked it anyway.
"However..."
He turned his gaze to Araki Itsuki, who was wearing a fitted black trench coat that swayed behind him, a playful smile on his face as he enjoyed some warm food.
"Why isn't Araki wearing a uniform?"
Araki Itsuki tossed a bag of pastries to Itadori Yuji and explained, "Because I want to go out and wander around; I won't be staying in the school all the time, so I won't wear a uniform."
Itadori Yuji asked, puzzled, "Then you don't need to study Cursed Energy knowledge or anything like that?"
Araki Itsuki thought for a moment and explained:
"Cursed Energy has an origin. Before a Jujutsu Sorcerer activates a Cursed Technique, their body will be filled with Cursed Energy. Before large-scale Jujutsu like Domain Expansion are activated, an origin must occur."
"Once you understand the origin of Cursed Energy, you can gradually understand its essence."
"Last night, Gojo Satoru helped me demonstrate the origin of Cursed Energy, and I've already learned it."
"How amazing..."
Most Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen are innate abilities that can hardly be learned through acquired training or other means, hence they are also called "Innate Cursed Techniques."
Araki Itsuki couldn't have one, nor did he need one.
The Death Omen Star Energy possessed a higher rank, but with Gojo Satoru's help last night, Araki Itsuki was already able to mimic the fluctuations of Cursed Energy.
Meanwhile, elsewhere...
A girl wearing a dark blue school jacket, a dark blue pleated skirt, black stockings, and brown shoes was roughly grabbing a talent scout by the shoulder.
"Hey, aren't you going to ask me?"
The fat talent scout turned his head, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Ask you???"
"A model, how do I look?"
"No... that, I'm in a hurry!"
Seeing such a violent girl, Araki Itsuki sighed inwardly. Why were all the anime protagonists surrounded by girls like this now?
Sakura was like this, Power was like this, Nami was like this, and Kugisaki Nobara was also like this!
He still preferred gentle girls.
He patted Itadori Yuji beside him, "Go call her over."
Itadori Yuji, wearing 2018-style glasses, looked foolish, "It's a bit embarrassing."
Fushiguro Megumi: "You still have the nerve to be embarrassed?"
Gojo Satoru could only step in himself, "Over here, over here!"
The group met up.
Kugisaki Nobara put one hand on her hip, "Then I'll introduce myself again, Kugisaki Nobara."
"Be happy, boys, a splash of color has arrived."
Itadori Yuji took off his 2018 glasses, pointed at himself, and laughed, "I'm Itadori Yuji, from Sendai."
"Fushiguro Megumi."
"Araki Itsuki."
From Kugisaki Nobara's perspective, she quickly labeled each of them.
Itadori Yuji: Clearly a country bumpkin, the kind who picked his nose as a kid.
Fushiguro Megumi: Only gave his name. I'm not interested in pretentious guys. This guy is definitely the type who would light seagulls on fire if they were covered in gasoline.
Then she extended her hand to Araki Itsuki, "Hello."
Araki Itsuki was a bit surprised and also extended his hand to shake hers, "Hello, hello."
Itadori Yuji complained, "Why are you only shaking Araki's hand?"
Kugisaki Nobara touched her head, "I don't know either, it's a woman's intuition, I just feel like I should get along with him."
Araki Itsuki didn't expect Kugisaki Nobara to have such sensitive intuition, so he smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gojo Satoru suggested, "Next, let's go explore Tokyo!"
Itadori Yuji and Kugisaki Nobara immediately jumped up excitedly, while Fushiguro Megumi and Araki Itsuki sighed.
"What a lovely (mischievous) teacher..."
Then the group was tricked into going to a dilapidated building.
"You tricked us!"
"You tricked us!"
Gojo Satoru smiled faintly, "Now that all four first-years are here, it's natural to see your strength."
Itadori Yuji surveyed the building and asked, "Is it true that Cursed Spirits are more likely to appear in cemeteries?"
"It's not the cemetery itself; the problem is the human heart that perceives cemeteries as scary. It's the same situation with schools."
Kugisaki Nobara was a bit surprised, "He doesn't even know that?!"
"He doesn't know..."
Then Fushiguro Megumi explained Itadori Yuji's situation.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Kugisaki Nobara was exasperated. What kind of teammates were these?!
Gojo Satoru stopped them and instructed the two, "Yuji, Nobara, you two go eliminate the cursed spirit in this building."
He then handed Itadori Yuji a Cursed Tool that looked like a cleaver with holes, explaining:
"Slaughter Demon. Weapons imbued with Cursed Energy are also effective against cursed spirits. And, do not release Ryomen Sukuna."
"While he would eliminate the cursed spirits inside, he would also drag others into it."
Then he looked at Araki Itsuki, "You don't need to go. Otherwise, it would be too easy."
Araki Itsuki thought for a moment, "It's a bit boring. I'll go in and take a look too. Don't worry, I won't interfere with their trial."
"Alright."
Inside the building.
Thanks to his formidable physical prowess, the low-grade Cursed Spirits that appeared were no match for Itadori Yuji.
However, very quickly, Kugisaki Nobara ran into trouble.
"A child? Did he playfully run in here and get caught by a cursed spirit?"
"Alright, it's okay now."
However, the child just looked at her timidly.
She gave an awkward smile, "It seems children really don't warm up to pretty women. Should I go call Itadori?"
But just then...
A low-grade, hideous Cursed Spirit suddenly emerged, gripping the frightened child tightly.
"Don't leave me!"
Kugisaki Nobara quickly raised her hammer, intending to activate her Cursed Technique, Straw Doll Technique.
But the hideous Cursed Spirit grabbed the little boy's head, pressing its sharp fingers against his neck.
If Kugisaki Nobara dared to move, it would pierce the little boy's neck.
"A hostage!"
Seeing the little boy's pained face, Kugisaki Nobara's pupils contracted.
"This cursed spirit has intelligence!"
This was a situation she had never encountered in the countryside.
For a moment, she froze in place, gritting her teeth.
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!
This cursed spirit was nothing to speak of, Grade 4, at most a bottom-tier Grade 3, right?!
It knew that itself, which was why it took a hostage.
However, even though she desperately wanted to calm down, she ultimately put down her weapon and raised her hands.
"I've thrown my weapon. Please let that child go."
The Cursed Spirit's hideous face revealed a smug smile.
But just then, footsteps echoed from the stairs behind Kugisaki Nobara.
Araki Itsuki walked up, deep in thought, and only snapped out of it when he saw the scene before him.
"Having trouble?"
Kugisaki Nobara quickly explained, "This cursed spirit has taken a hostage. Quickly, think of something."
Araki Itsuki had a look of chuunibyou and mystery on his face.
"Do you know?"
"All misfortunes in this world are caused by the inadequacy of the person involved."
"If you had the power of Gojo Satoru, the threat of this cursed spirit would be a joke."
Kugisaki Nobara almost laughed in anger. If she had Gojo Satoru's power, why would she even be in school?
"Quickly, think of something."
"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you."
Araki Itsuki stroked his chin, "Let's try a move I just learned: using the power of the death omen star to simulate Cursed Energy fluctuations."
Araki Itsuki's eyes were slightly closed, and under his control, the Death Omen Star Energy exhibited the characteristics of Cursed Energy.
A dense wave of Cursed Energy, powerful enough to blot out the sky, instantly erupted from Araki Itsuki, sweeping in all directions.
The surging aura of death, like a tide, enveloped everything around it, as if the Grim Reaper's scythe could fall at any moment.
Araki Itsuki opened his eyes and smiled at Kugisaki Nobara, "Alright, it should be unable to move now. Go save that child."
However, Kugisaki Nobara's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her body twitched slightly, utterly unable to move.
She screamed inwardly, "What is this immense Cursed Energy?!"
"I can't move at all!"
Araki Itsuki saw the cold sweat on Kugisaki Nobara's forehead and then realized.
"My bad, my bad, I forgot you can't bear this aura either."
Then, he made a grasping motion with his right hand towards the low-grade Cursed Spirit by the wall, as if it were a soul-snatching hand.
"Wooooah!"
The Cursed Spirit let out a painful wail as the purplish-black Death Omen Star Energy instantly devoured it, savagely and violently gnawing at the negative emotions within it.
Splat!
It completely snuffed out all its life force.
Outside.
Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Megumi suddenly felt a massive and terrifying surge of Cursed Energy erupt into the sky.
"Araki, that guy is really reckless!"
Gojo Satoru painfully covered his face, but then immediately smiled.
"This Cursed Energy is already Special Grade level. With Yuta Okkotsu, I've trained two Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers!"
"As expected of me, Gojo Satoru!"
"Haha!"
Fushiguro Megumi adjusted his heartbeat, reducing the oppressive sensation. Earlier, he couldn't move, and even breathing felt difficult.
"What exactly happened?"
Gojo Satoru waved his hand dismissively, "It's just that Araki Itsuki felt that having no Cursed Energy at all might lead people to mistake him for a Heavenly Restriction."
"So he wanted to simulate some Cursed Energy to disguise himself as a normal person, so it wouldn't be too obvious."
Fushiguro Megumi's mouth twitched.
"This massive and terrifying Cursed Energy, and you call him a normal person!"
"That's why I said he's really reckless, didn't I?"
