━Chapter three━
STAR PLASMA



AFTER MONTHS HAVE passed since the first years came, the second years had been sent off to locate or in Gojo Satoru's word save Mei Mei and Iori Utahime, the two had gone off on a mission and have not return for a quite long period.

"Gojo the curtain! We can't just simply burst it without it!" Y/n said as she followed after Gojo, Geto, Shoko, and Hiroki.

"Ugh, you're not listening! Fine, hold on, I'll make the curtain so wait─" Just as she about to create a barrier to hide within from the outside view. Gojo had not waited for her instructions and went ahead to use his cursed energy to destroy the entire building before she could create a seal barrier for the mansion.

Y/n lips pursed as she watched everything break down, Mei Mei, as usual, had managed to get out quickly, unlike Utahime, who was still under the rubble. She seems alright, just shocked, just like everyone minus Gojo and Geto.

"We're so getting scolded by the old man," Hiroki mumbled, standing beside her, witnessing the building collapsing.

"I came to save you..." Gojo peering from his black rounded glasses that he wore all the time, "Utahime, you crying?" He asked after noticing she's not up to her feet yet.

"Gojo!" Utahime shouted angrily, still under the rubble."Respect your elders!"

"If I cried, would you comfort me? I'd really like that." Mei Mei asked.

"Mei-san would never cry, as you're so strong."

"Is that so?"

"Gojo!" Shouted Utahime as she got up to her feet, her finger pointing at him shakily."I don't need you to save─" she was cut off behind her the ground break.

A large cursed spirit emerged from behind her yet she cannot react due to how shocked she was, but another cursed spirit appeared from under it and consumed it whole. Suguru arrived at the scene, walking towards them casually. "Don't swallow it, I'll absorb it later."he said to curse, "Satoru, it's not nice to pick on the weak."

"What idiot would pick on someone strong?" asked Satoru, stuffing his hands into his pockets. Mei-Mei laughed again. "You're being the provocation one, Geto-kun."

Utahime turned around with her gritting her teeth and glaring at Suguru.

"Oh."

"Utahime-senpai!" called out leiri Shoko in a sing-song voice as she appeared between Mei Mei and Satoru. "Are you okay? Y/n-Chan and I were worried about you, We haven't heard from you for two whole days."

"Shoko!" cried out Utahime with tears in her eyes as she rushed up to hug the female brown short haired student tightly. "Don't ever become like those two, okay?!"

Shoko laughs at her words, "I won't, I won't be like them scums." Shoko replied as she was squeezed tightly in her arms.

"Utahime-senpai!" Another body came barrel to their hugging figure, joining the hugging session. "Good to know you're okay!"

"Y/n! Don't be like them too, okay?"

"No way I'll be like them."

"The ground where Utahime stepped on will collapse!" Satoru yelled to Suguru, snickering.

"Shut up." Suguru replied as he stepped the stairs towards them with his hands stuffed to his pockets.

"Wait," Utahime pulled away from the hug, processing what Shoko said. "Two days?"

"Huh, I guess whatever my sis theory is right." Hiroki appeared next to Mei Mei.

"Hiroki!"

"Seems the curse spirit's barrier indeed has time distortion it happens but is rare." Hiroki pulled out his handkerchief hand it to Utahime.

Satoru soon added, "I knew something was wrong it should've been quicker with Mei-san."

"Seems like it, Well, that is to say I've actually been working for two days. I think I should've been paid extra for that." responded Mei-Mei. "Anyways, more than that... where's the curtain?"

At this, the faces of Satoru, Suguru and Shoko all went blank while The twins looked at Satoru with a nasty glare and delivered a hit to his back in sync , knowing full well that they were going to get scolded for this, with the twins wishing a hit to Satoru's head by Yaga-sensei would be a sight to see.

━━━━━━━

"Next news, an explosion occurred yesterday in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka..." The news anchor talks in the background.

Shoko, Y/n, Satoru, Hiroki, and Suguru sitting down on the tatami floor the five sat kneeling, their legs folded under them and their fists strictly on their knees - they all faced their Jujutsu teacher, Yaga Masamichi, who sat in front of them without any expression.

"One of you said you'd pull down the curtain yourself, then left the assistant supervisor and ran away, right?" spoke Master Yaga. "...and forgot about the curtain, too. Fess up,"

Shoko and Suguru immediately pointed wordless while the twins pointed to his face with a glare to Satoru, who shrink at the pointed fingers and glares that were sent to him.

"Sensei!" said Satoru at once, raising his arm high into the air to get his attention quickly. "Can we not find the culprit!"

"Looks like it's you, Satoru." Master Yaga delivered his fist to Satoru's head, creating a distinct noise.

After the five had received their scolding, they were dismissed.

"Are curtains even necessary in the first place?" Gojo asked, cheek in his palm as he sulked in his seat. He nursed the spot on his head where Yaga had hit him, pouting childishly.

"Of course they are!" Y/n poked the spot, causing Satoru winced a bit.

Suguru blocked the grudging Hiroki who was about to shoot his Kobe Bryant 'skill' that be claimed to have, Suguru hold the basketball as he responded to Satoru's question "The prevention of Cursed Spirits is most important for the citizens' peace of mind. For that reason, keeping it confidential is important─" Satoru interjected, stealing the ball from Suguru.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it." Satoru make a shoot. He groaned and shifted his glasses. "It's such a pain looking out for the weak." He threw the ball, and Suguru caught it.

"They understand their sacrifices." Suguru told him, keeping his calm. "Survival of the weakest is the way society should be. Society should protect the weak and keep the strong in check. You see, Satoru, Jujutsu exists to protect the non-Jujutsu users." Suguru walked up towards the middle of the gym while dribbling the ball before tossing the basketball, but it didn't go in the basket.

"I hate common beliefs." Satoru smirked. The air seems to get tensed.

"What?"

"Making up reasons or responsibilities of having power isn't that exactly a behaviour of the weak?" The basketball rolled to Satoru's feet. He picked it up and tossed it to the air and made it to the basket, causing Suguru's glare even more.

Hiroki ran and snatched Shoko's hand first and made a run to his twin, and tossed her to his shoulder. "Run!"

They stand in the hallway, away from the gym, Hiroki tossed her down, not caring if she's OK earning and Ouch from Y/n as she caress her bottom.

"The tension is too thick, making me parched." Hiroki groaned, "I think you gained weight, sis."

"I'm not the one who's been taking a second serving back home." Retorted Y/n.

"I can't take this heat any longer, I'm going to get a drink." Shoko spoke between the twins, walking away.

"Shoko, wait up!" Hiroki ruffles his twin's hair and looks to Y/n."Don't do anything stupid."

"How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you." Y/n replied, making him smirk before following Shoko and dissappear from the next turn.

"Y/n." The girl looked behind her, there stand their teacher. Yaga-sensei with his eyebrow arched up. "Where's Shoko and Hiroki?" He questioned.

"They went to get a drink."

"Never mind, follow me there is a mission for you three." Yaga says walking ahead of them. Satoru, Suguru, and Y/n. Every single one of them made displeased expressions. They just got back and now they're being sent again for another mission? Boring.

"Frankly, I think this mission is too demanding for you guys, but Master Tengen named you three." Tengen-sama called them to the mission must be something important. "The mission has two parts, Star Plasma Vessel, the suitable vessel for Master Tengen. You will escort the girl and erase her."

"Escort the girl and erase her?" Satoru asked.

"That's right."

Satoru clasped his palm to his mouth, "Has he finally lost it?" He asks, not taking this seriously.

"It's spring after all," Suguru told him, "and he's the next principal. He must be carried away."

"Yaga-sensei, are we resetting Tengen-sama's cursed technique?" Y/n spoke up.

"What's that?" Satoru asks dumbly. Looking around. Yaga-sensei has an irk mark growing in his temple while Y/n and Suguru sighs at Satoru.

"What?" Satoru asked again, slamming the door open.

"Although Master Tengen has the Cursed Technique of Immorality, just because Master Tengen has the ability doesn't mean it won't stop Master Tengen aging process, Satoru." Y/n told him, taking out a chair next to Suguru.

"Y/n's right. He's not ageless aging alone isn't a problem, but when aging exceeds a certain level, the Cursed Technique will try to rebuild the body. Evolution." Yaga added, "He will no longer be a human, but a higher-level being." He finished.

"Isn't that great? Sounds cool." Satoru asked, who's clearly not bothered about the problem that needs to be dealt with.

"According to Master Tengen, once that stage is reached, there won't be his will anymore." Suguru added.

"He will no longer be Master Tengen." Continues Y/n. "All the Jujutsu High schools, the barriers of the Jujutsu realms strongholds and the barrier techniques of numerous assistant supervisors. They all rely on Master Tengen to increase their strength."

"Without his help, we can barely protect ourselves or carry out missions, in the worst case scenario Master Tengen might even become an enemy of humanity." Suguru agreed with her, "So, once every 500 years he has to merge with a Star Plasma Vessel, a suitable human for Master Tengen and rewrite the body's information as long as the body is rejuvenated."

"The cursed technique's effect will be restored and there will be no evolution." Y/n finished with a calm smile.

"I see, it's okay to evolve into a Metal Greymon but not into a skull Greymon so we have to start over from a Koromon, right?" Satoru reference ignoring both Suguru and Y/n.

Both Suguru and Yage-sensei looked blank at his reference, although Y/n understand his strange reference a bit because of her twin brother.

"Yes, that's right Satoru. We have to turn him back to Koromon." Y/n told him, tilting her head a bit to Satoru with a slight forced smile.

"But that Star Plasma Vessel girl's whereabout was leaked. Now there are two groups of people who want to kill the girl." Yaga turned his computer around.

"Can't this be any worse?" Y/n muttered under her breath.

"One of them seeks to overthrow the current Jujutsu realm by driving Master Tengen into rampage. The curse user group Q." Yaga-sensei explained, "The other one is the Star Religious Group that worships Master Tengen, Time Vessel association."

Two big groups aftering one girl, a Star Plasma Vessel. Wonder how the girl is taking it.

"Master Tengen and the Star Plasma Vessel will merge under a full moon in two days. You must escort that girl and bring her to Master Tengen! Should you guys fail, it would even affect the general public. You must be careful! Dont screw this up!"
