The warm breeze of the early morning wind.

A man in a long black trenchcoat walks the grassy roads of the cemetery, a basket in his hands.

He stopped by a particular grave, resting at the foot of a tree.

He smiled, a sincere yet somber smile.

A smile that vividly expresses all his hidden emotions. An emotional side of the cold hearted man, he only showed to a number of people.

"Hey, Odasaku" Dazai Osamu greeted "sorry I couldn't keep my promise."

Report: July 2018
In West Tokyo city, at the eishu juvenile detention center
The sky above the exercise yard...

An unnamed apparation of potential special grade was witnessed by multiple Non-Jujutsu sorcerers. Since it was deemed an emergency, three first year students were sent to the scene.

Multiple curses ranging from grades 1-4 are suddenly spread out in the city of Yokohama, no other sorcerer is allowed there.
Private investigations are invalid as casualties due to curses spike up about 5% of the population. In order to not interfere with the Port Mafia; Special grade sorcerer Dazai Yukiko is sent to the scene.

Out of those four students, one died

~~~~~~

Three first year students, Itadori Yuuji, Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara as well as assistant manager Ijichi Kiyotaka all stood before Detention Building 2 where the potential special grade curse was residing. Five inmates as well as the curse are currently trapped inside.

"I'm still not sure what the Special Grade thing is all about." Inquired Itadori.

Ijichi sighed but nevertheless explained the classification of curses as easily as he can. Probably referring to the handwritten guide Yukiko gave him before leaving for Yokohama again today.

That girl as her predictions...

"Normally," said Fushiguro "a jujutsu sorcerer will be assigned to a curse of similar grade."

"Gojo-sensei or Dazai would probably be called in today for example."

"Speaking of... Since Gojo-sensei is on a business trip..." Muttered Nobara "Yukiko is a special grade sorcerer right? Why didn't they send her?"

"Unfortunately, Dazai-san is currently in a mission in Yokohama, multiple curses of different grades (particularly 1-4) have mysteriously appeared and is causing havoc all across the city." The older man explained.

"That's weird" said the pink haired male "shouldn't they send groups of sorcerers instead of putting all the work on Dazai?"

"Dazai is the only sorcerer who could enter and exorcise Yokohama without being killed or targeted by the Port Mafia." Fushiguro explained briefly.

"Oh I guess that's reasonable but..."

The two other sorcerers and assistant manger stared at him.

"What's the Port Mafia?"

Mangled flesh scattered around the complex as the second grade bursts.
