(y/n): "The night parade?"

Todo: "Yes, I had a suspicion about it, but now I'm certain."

(y/n): "How so?"

Todo: "I saw you, here, in Kyoto. Don't try to act your way out of this."

(y/n): "I'm not. I've heard about it, but I wasn't here in Kyoto."

Todo: "Oh, really?"

(y/n): "Yep."

Todo immediately pulled out his phone, and after searching for some seconds in his gallery, he finally found the image he wanted. The image showed a silhouette similar to (y/n)'s walking around the streets of Kyoto, as hundreds of curses passed by him. He wasn't wearing his bandages and a blue glow in his eyes. He showed the image to (y/n).

Todo: "What's this then."

(y/n): "You dumb monkey you know I can't see right?"

Tired of (y/n), Todo sent a powerful right hook but was dodged.

Todo: "There's no way out of this."

(y/n): "hm."

They both go into their fight stance, getting ready for the upcoming battle. Todo already expected things to go this way, and if they didn't, he would make them.

(y/n): "Let's just forget about that, forget that you even someone there, and return as if nothing happened."

Todo: "I can't. Ever since you got here I felt this weird aura around you, like you were cursed."

(y/n): "Oh I am cursed."

Todo: "Hm, then I'll have to take you out."

(y/n): "I would like to see you try."

Todo ripped his shirt and rushed at (y/n), hitting him with a combo of powerful attacks, which he dodged all. After jumping behind Todo, he hit him with a palm strike, but it wasn't like any other, the hit altered the flow of cursed energy of Todo. Something that took him by surprise.

Todo: "How did you-?"

Before he could finish, (y/n) grabbed his head with his hand, a small light-emitting from Todo's eyes. While his cursed energy battled (y/n)'s for domination. He walked some steps back while grabbing his head.

(y/n): "You okay there?"

Todo: "H-hm? O-oh, I just... It's nothing. Where's my shirt?"

(y/n): "I dunno. Let's go back."

Todo: "Right."

Todo began walking back as (y/n) grabbed his head and fell on the ground while still holding it, blood spilling from his nose. It took him some time to finally regain his composure and walked back to his dormitory. But before that, he stomped on Todo's phone until there were no traces of it.

(y/n) sighed as he sat down on a chair in front of a mirror, slowly removing his bandages and looking at his reflection. As he slowly dug his fingers into his eye sockets, blood leaked from them, squirting at the mirror, damping his reflection on it.

He pulled his fingers out, covered in his blood, the place where his eyes were supposed to be was now empty, and overflowing with blood.

But not so long after, particles began to form on his empty eye sockets, and after some seconds, his eyes appeared again, as if nothing had happened.

Upon seeing this, (y/n)'s frustration grew more, punching the mirror in front of him. Shattering into pieces and cutting his hand.

???: "You know breaking mirrors is bad luck, right?"

(y/n): "It can't get worse than this."

After cleaning his mess and taking a shower, he got ready, headed out of his room, and went outside the school grounds and into the city. Of course, being followed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He went to shrines and parks, stopping to buy some food from stalls along the way, his appetite never seems to end.

But then, he wandered deep into a forest. The sorcerers following him were strange by it but still followed him nonetheless. But the surroundings turned darker, dismembered curses appearing from left to right, human bones, ravens, abandoned huts, blood tainted on the trees and floor.

Sorcerer 1: "What even is this place?"

Sorcerer 2: "I don't know... and I don't like it."

The metallic scent of blood intensified in the air, the smell of rot and decay also made their way in.

The sorcerer's fight or flight response was telling them to leave immediately, but they kept on following.

(y/n) came to a stop, the sorcerer's worlds seemed to shrink as he slowly turned around until having them in his sight.

(y/n): "What a surprise. What are you doing here? Following me, perhaps?"

Sorcerer 1: "W-we received- o-orders from Principal Y-Yoshinobu!"

(y/n): "Well... There are some orders you should ignore."

Sorcerer 2: "e-eh?!"

(y/n) suddenly appeared in front of them.

(y/n):

The top half of one of the sorcerers was disintegrated, and the other half fell to the ground, forming a pool of blood.

Sorcerer 1: "W-what?!"

She tried to escape but (y/n) grabbed her by the wrist.

(y/n): "Now, now. No need to be afraid, what would your name be?"

.

.

.

Sorcerer 1: "H-Hikaru."

(y/n): "Well then, come! My village's just a few steps ahead. You'll like it!"

Hikari was frozen in place, giving slight glances to the half corpse that lay next to her, some blood had even fallen on her clothing.

Seconds passed and she still didn't move.

(y/n): "Well?"

But he got no answer, so he sighed and removed his grip from her wrist.

(y/n): "I guess I'll get back then, I lost the mood... Oh, before I forget. Behind you."

Hakari slowly turned her head around, only to be met by an amalgamate of curses that grabbed her by the sides, and as she screamed the curse crushed her to death. Splashing blood everywhere.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As he was entering the school, he noticed a strange car parked at the entrance.

Stranged, he walked in, paying no more attention to the car. He was making his way into the gardens of the school but was stopped mid-way by none other than Miwa.

Miwa: "(y/n)-san, d-do you have a minute?"

(y/n): "Miwa-sama? What for?"

Miwa: "I.. wanted to ask you for help."

(y/n): "With?"

Miwa: "T-training."

(y/n): "Training?"

Miwa: "Y-yeah, in the Exchange event when I was against Mai's sister I felt... weak and useless... You had to intervene and then with the Special-grade curse... I just stood there and watched... You even almost got killed."

(y/n): "No I didn't... Well, I can show you a thing o two but..."

Miwa: "I'll take it!"

(y/n): "hm? Well then, come!"

They both walked to the training area, Miwa carrying her sword and (y/n) a wooden one.

(y/n)'s abilities aren't so compatible with Miwa's, since her cursed techniques involve a sword and a certain area, while as (y/n)'s only requirements are his limbs, plus an average sorcerer doesn't have enough cursed energy to make one single 'bang'.

(y/n): "So, uhm... I've never taught someone something before so bear up with me."

Miwa: "Right."

(y/n): "Alright! So uhm, get into your technique."

Miwa: "A-are you sure? What if I harm you? let me use a wooden sword-"

(y/n): "It'll be fine!"

Miwa: "S-sure."

She still had her doubts, but still activated her technique.

Miwa:

Upon activating her domain, (y/n) ran at her, getting into her attack radius.

Miwa:

With that technique, Miwa uses cursed energy to surround her blade while sheathed and rotates to create incredible speeds when she draws the blade.

But when the blade was about to impact (y/n), he used the wooden sword to block it, his blade being in a diagonal position, and putting his free hand on the back of it. Even with it being made from wood, it still managed to defend it without suffering damage.

(y/n) spun and pushed Miwa with his legs, releasing her feet from her stance, dispelling her technique.

Miwa stood dumbfounded, looking at the wooden sword and then at hers, her blade had some cracks on it but (y/n)'s was as good as new.

Miwa: "H-how?"

(y/n): "Cursed energy."

Miwa: "Cursed energy?"

(y/n): "Exactly. Cursed energy."

Miwa: "B-but-"

(y/n): "To master a technique you need to master your cursed technique control."

Miwa: "How do you know so much about it but said you barely knew the Jujutsu world?"

(y/n): "Eh... I... It doesn't matter! We'll work on your cursed energy control and then we'll figure it out."

Miwa: "E-eh?"

Miwa wasn't sure about (y/n)'s teaching way, but it's not like he could ask Mechamaru for help, since he's a robot, or Mai since she uses a gun and her cursed technique is way different than hers, Todo and Noritoshi scared her, and Momo uses a broom. But the good side is that she considered (y/n) to be strong, and his cursed technique is not very different from hers.

Miwa: "B-but, instead of that why don't we train like hand-to-hand combat or things of that sort?"

(y/n): "Hmm... I guess that could work! You're very dependent on your sword and you're kind of weak and useless without it. Definitely a burden for your team so... Yeah! We'll do that!"

(y/n): "Readysetgo!"

He said and instantly leaped at Miwa, taking her by surprise.

Miwa: "Eh?!! Wa-! Wait!"

(y/n) stopped right in front of her, lifting some dust.

(y/n): "Hm?"

Miwa: "I-I'm not very sure how to fight..."

(y/n): "Oh, right, should've asked... Uhm... So... What's your fighting style?"

Miwa: "Sword?"

(y/n): "..."

Miwa: "I... don't have one? I know the basics tho!"

(y/n) sweatdropped.

(y/n): "W-we can work with that... So... get in your stance and stuff."

Miwa did as she was told, using one of her swordsman stances but replacing the sword with her fists.

Miwa: "B-but aren't you supposed to teach me stuff and then... You know... the fight?"

(y/n): "I mean... yeah but... First, we'll fight and then we can get into the things you do wrong."

Miwa: "S-sure."

(y/n): "Now, come!"

Miwa ran at him, preparing her attacks. But as she got near (y/n), he sent a palm strike to her face, Miwa barely dodging it, only managing to graze her hair.

She ducked under (y/n)'s arm and punched him in the stomach, but when she did, she felt as if she had hit a brick wall, (y/n) grabbed her arm, lifting it and taking her down by swiping her legs from behind.

Miwa: "oof."

(y/n): "You alright?"

Miwa: "y-yeah."

(y/n): "Let's try that again."

She stood up and got on her fight stance again, (y/n) doing the same after.

Miwa strikes again but (y/n) would slap the punches away, but when Miwa sent a right hook, he ducked and placed his palm centimeters away from her stomach.

(y/n):

Releasing cursed energy on his palm, sending her flying.

Miwa: "H-hey! Wasn't it only hand-to-hand?"

(y/n): "You have to be a fool to play by the rules. That honor thing is stupid. No offense. But... Let's stop here, 'kay? I have to do something..."

Miwa: "But we just started...."

(y/n): "We'll continue this later!"

He said as he ran off, waving at her.

He kept running until he spotted two people in the distance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He walked up to the figures, Mai seemed to notice him but didn't pay attention.

???: "Weak as ever, huh?"

Mai: "Just get out of here quicker so I can keep being away from you. Chop Chop."

She said with anger in her voice. Suddenly, a hand gripped Naoya's shoulder, as his body seemed heavier, and felt an intimidating presence behind him.

Slowly turning his head around, he saw (y/n). Even with his bandages on, he could feel his piercing glare.

Naoya: "Oh, he's here."

(y/n: "Is there a problem?"

Naoya: "No, not-"

(y/n): "I was asking Mai."

Naoya: "Hm."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

???: "Did you hear the news?"

???: "I haven't been told."

???: "It seems like Okkotsu Yuta is coming earlier from his trip."
