Juvenile Detention Center.

Araki Itsuki, Itadori Yuji, and two others stood at the entrance, while the impeccably dressed, bespectacled Ijichi Kiyotaka stood beside them.

He was an assistant supervisor at Jujutsu High and had a good relationship with Gojo Satoru.

"Our window confirmed the appearance of a Cursed Womb approximately three hours ago. When 90% of the evacuation was complete, the entire shelter was sealed based on the on-site situation."

"Five inmates from the second dormitory of the correctional facility are currently trapped inside the building with the Cursed Womb."

At this point, Ijichi Kiyotaka adjusted his glasses.

"If the Cursed Womb can fully transform, it is estimated that a Special Grade Cursed Spirit might be generated."

However, when Ijichi turned his head, he found all four of them looking calm.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's a Special Grade Cursed Spirit! Take this seriously!"

Itadori Yuji waved his hand indifferently: "Gojo Satoru-sensei said that if we encounter danger, just shout for Araki Itsuki to save us."

Fushiguro nodded: "Although I want to take it seriously, with Araki Itsuki here, I can't even get my fighting spirit up."

Araki Itsuki grumbled, "Shouldn't Gojo Satoru-sensei be doing this? I haven't been certified as Special Grade yet, so I'm working this job without getting paid for it."

"It's so annoying."

Fushiguro looked helpless: "Originally, Sorcerers of the same grade as the Cursed Spirit should be dispatched to carry out the mission, but Gojo Satoru-sensei is on a business trip."

"Someone like him can't stay put at Jujutsu High."

Ijichi adjusted his glasses, a bit guilty: "We're often short-staffed in this line of work, and taking on missions beyond our capabilities is commonplace."

"But this situation is urgent and unusual, so I can only let you handle it."

Itadori Yuji then asked, "What is a Special Grade?"

"Ah?!"

Kugisaki Nobara then remembered that Itadori Yuji was a newcomer.

Araki Itsuki explained: "A Special Grade is an opponent that even carpet bombing with cluster bombs might not be able to defeat."

"The intensity is probably similar to the pressure I released that day."

At this point, Araki Itsuki patted Itadori Yuji's shoulder.

"If Itadori is too scared to move then, he'll just be at their mercy."

The three recalled an unpleasant memory; the Cursed Energy fluctuation Araki Itsuki merely simulated had completely stunned them in place.

Seeing their serious expressions, Ijichi warned, "Absolutely do not fight. If the three of you encounter a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, you only have two choices: escape or die."

"Listen to your inner fear. Your mission is only to rescue any potential survivors."

After Ijichi finished speaking, Araki Itsuki waved his hand and led the three into the detention center.

"Itadori, Fushiguro."

The two followed, looking at Araki Itsuki curiously: "What's wrong, Araki?"

"You two go and eliminate the Special Grade Cursed Spirit."

Fushiguro's expression stiffened: This is like an old folks' home tea party, and you're just talking nonsense. How are we supposed to eliminate a Special Grade Cursed Spirit?!

Araki Itsuki saw the dumbfounded expressions on their faces and smiled: "Be confident. Both of you harbor infinite power."

"It's just a newly born Special Grade Cursed Spirit."

The two remained silent.

Seeing the four enter, Ijichi joined his fingers: "I'm putting up the curtain now."

"From darkness, blacker than black. Impurities and defilements, all be purified."

Above the sky, foul black mud suddenly flowed, gradually spreading downwards.

The sludge surged, enveloping the sky from all directions.

Everything inside and out was isolated, and the juvenile detention center was completely hidden.

Itadori Yuji exclaimed, "It's dark."

Araki Itsuki nodded: "This is a curtain. Ordinary people can't see it."

"But right now, both of you should think about how to deal with that Special Grade Cursed Spirit."

Kugisaki Nobara listened for a long time but didn't hear her own mission.

"What about me? What about me?"

"Kugisaki, just clear out the ordinary Cursed Spirits wandering nearby."

"OK."

Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi then realized that Araki Itsuki was serious, actually wanting the two of them to exorcise the Special Grade Cursed Spirit.

Araki Itsuki saw their nervous expressions and comforted them: "Fushiguro, it's only interesting if you get serious, and your abilities far exceed your imagination."

"Your Ten Shadows Technique is one of the inherited Cursed Techniques of the Zen'in Family, one of the Three Great Clans of the Jujutsu world."

"The Shadow Shikigami summoned by the Ten Shadows Technique are more powerful than ordinary Shikigami, and the Cursed Techniques and power left by destroyed Shikigami are inherited by other Shikigami.

They can even be combined into one by expanding the Cursed Technique."

In the original work, any Shikigami Ryomen Sukuna summoned while controlling his body had the strength of a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.

Just a simple Nue was incredibly huge, covering the sky and the sun, capable of completely engulfing an entire building.

After speaking, he gave Fushiguro Megumi an encouraging look: "Unleash yourself. Let me see your true potential."

"As for Itadori Yuji, you need to master your Cursed Energy in actual combat."

Fushiguro nodded solemnly, then remembered something and asked Araki Itsuki curiously: "What is Araki's purpose in doing this?"

Araki Itsuki chuckled: "I'm very interested in the Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga."

"The legendary power of adaptation that can adapt to everything, I wonder if it can adapt to my death omen star power that devours everything."

"So Fushiguro, you need to grow quickly and give me a good time."

As they talked, the scene before the four suddenly changed.

Itadori Yuji shouted: "What the hell?! Isn't this a two-story dormitory?"

"What's going on?"

Araki Itsuki said mockingly: "It's just an Innate Domain activated with Cursed Energy; the Cursed Technique hasn't been imbued into the domain yet."

"Although it's also a Domain Expansion, it merely expends a large amount of Cursed Energy to change the primary battlefield panel barrier.

It lacks the most core sure-hit effect of a Domain Expansion's Cursed Technique."

Kugisaki Nobara's vision went black. What do you mean by 'just' a Domain Expansion!!!

That's the legendary Domain Expansion, the Sorcerer's strongest move!

Araki Itsuki was too calm!

"Alright, no more talking, let's go, go, go!"

A few blind Cursed Spirits chattered and rushed over. Araki Itsuki casually curled his lip and extended his right hand.

Snap.

A crisp snap echoed in the empty, eerie room.

Purple-black flames suddenly ignited on the bodies of the few blind Cursed Spirits, instantly engulfing them all.

Itadori Yuji awkwardly put away his hole-ridden cleaver, but before he could praise Araki Itsuki, he saw several corpses in the corner.

"How tragic."

Itadori Yuji remembered the woman's plea outside and said seriously:

"I need to take this body out. He's that person's son."

Fushiguro Megumi grabbed him, his expression cold:

"Forget about the body for now; determine the fate of the other two."

"I didn't really want to save these people in the first place. If they're dead, I care even less."

Itadori Yuji was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Fushiguro Megumi explained their heinous acts with a cold face, noting that they couldn't be severely punished due to their young age.

"What if the person you save goes on to harm others?"

"Then why did you save me in the first place?!"

The two then had a fierce argument about this philosophical question.

Suddenly.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you're going to argue, at least pick the right time and place."

"Haven't you noticed Kugisaki is gone?"

The two heard Araki Itsuki's voice and quickly released each other's collars.

"Kugisaki!"

A black hole appeared on the ground, and Kugisaki had vanished.

"Impossible, Divine Dogs were still on alert!"

Fushiguro quickly turned, searching for Divine Dogs.

However, a bloody, mutilated dog head was deeply embedded in the shattered wall.

A grotesque Cursed Spirit, human-sized, with long black fingers similar to Ryomen Sukuna's, and eyes growing on black nail patterns on its head, suddenly appeared beside the three without their noticing.

Just by standing there, its terrifying Cursed Energy had already completely suppressed Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuji.

Sweat dripped from Fushiguro Megumi's forehead.

Can't move... Itadori Yuji's heart roared wildly.

Move, move, move, move!

Just then.

Araki Itsuki suddenly acted, delivering an iron fist like a meteor to the Finger Curse Spirit's chest.

Bang!

Blood burst forth. The Finger Curse Spirit's playful expression turned to confusion and anger, not expecting the toy below to actually resist!

"Don't get so close to me!"

Araki Itsuki reprimanded it in dissatisfaction, then reached out and made a grasping motion.

A monstrous great scythe instantly appeared in his hand, its terrifying single eye opening and locking onto the Finger Curse Spirit.

The roar of a tyrannical demon echoed through the battlefield.

"Submit to a great existence!"

Unconcealed malice and dark shadows assailed it, and the Finger Curse Spirit showed a human-like expression of fear.

Its recently mended chest was throbbing again.

"You two adapt to the Special Grade Cursed Spirit's pressure first. I'm going to stretch my muscles."

Araki Itsuki turned to instruct them, then bent his knees, and the wall bricks beneath his feet shattered into countless cracks.

With a deafening sonic boom, he instantly charged towards the Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
