It's been two days since dad left. Right now, the four of us, first years, were given a mission. We were dispatched to rescue inmates of a detention center because a cursed womb suddenly appeared there. Ijichi-san informed us that we shouldn't engage in a battle, especially when it's a special grade. Just before we go inside, a weeping mother asks us to save his son.

"Please save Tadashi," she said.
Yuji faced the three of us, "Let's save everyone."

Megumi summoned one of his divine dogs to warn us if there is a cursed spirit nearby.

We went inside the detention center, and I immediately noticed that we're inside an Innate Domain.

I got a bad feeling about this.

We roamed inside, and as we entered a room, we saw mutilated corpses. I saw Yuji mustered up his courage and went to inspect the bodies. He read the nameplate of one person.

'Tadashi'

That's when Yuji and Megumi started arguing. Yuji wanted to bring the body, but Megumi said to leave it. While they continue to fight, I saw Nobara getting dragged through the floor.

"Nobara!" I shouted. I tried reaching for her hand, but a cursed spirit suddenly appeared in front of me and kicked me in my stomach.

I was sent flying, and my back hits the wall. I started coughing blood. It hurts so much.

'This is a special grade.' I thought.

The cursed spirit went in between Megumi and Yuji, who both froze in their position. I saw Yuji shaking as he tried to hit the curse.

"Y-Yuji no," I shouted, but it's already too late. My eyes widened as I watch Yuji's hand flew into the air.

I tried standing up even if I am already trembling. I need to do something! I can't let my friends die.

"Gravity Manipulation: Black Hole," I said, trying to form a circle of compressed gravity as big as a basketball. I threw it on the cursed spirit, but nothing happened. It acted like I didn't hurt it at all.

I gathered all my strength and ran towards the two. I need to use 'Corruption,' but I might lose my control.

'No! Stop thinking negatively! I should do it. I must do it to save them!'

I can only use two 'Corruption' at most for a day.

"Gravity Manipulation: Corruption. 'Oh, grantors of dark disgrace, do not wake me again.' " I chanted. Red marks started to appear in my arms.

I threw the black compressed gravity. I hit its arm, but it instantly regenerated.

'Not yet! I can still do this!' I thought and started to form a larger one.

"Fushiguro get Nobara and Y/N out of here! After that, give me a signal, and I'll swap with Sukuna. Y/N, that's enough! You're reaching your limit!" Yuji exclaimed.

"No! I won't leave you here! I can still fight!" I said while still trying to concentrate the flow of my cursed energy.

I felt my arms getting heavier, and seconds pass by. When I felt that I am already at my limit, I threw the compressed gravity to the cursed spirit. I hit it! I saw it getting crushed in a wall, but I know it is not enough to exorcise it.

I can feel my consciousness slipping away. I was about to fall, but Megumi caught me.

"Fushiguro, get away from here! I'll buy us some time!" I heard Yuji say one last time.

Megumi carried me, but just before I lost consciousness, I tried reaching Yuji.

"Yuji, come back to us safe," I said in a trembling voice, and this time, I passed out.
