Sukuna's heart was pounding. He sensed multiple beings lurking where he and Eloise couldn't see. He was debating in his head wether to kill all of them and expose himself, or to take Eloise and run with a possibility of getting caught.

The 'curse' that had come towards them wasn't attacking...yet. It was slowly walking around them and tears seemed to be coming out of its eyes.

Eloise was slightly shaking and Sukuna could tell because he was still holding onto her wrist.

He looked at her, "Whatever happens, trust me. Do NOT use your technique."

Eloise was taken aback when he mentioned that she shouldn't use her cursed technique, "Do you kno-"

"No, I don't know. I just assumed that because you are training separately from the others, like I am." Sukuna says, he then turns his attention back to the 'curse'.

Eloise moved behind Sukuna to distance herself with the 'curse'. She looked up at Sukuna and saw that he was tensed up, like a predator ready to kill its prey. He readied himself to jump at it.

As he went for the jump, a voice shouted, "Move!!"

In a flash of blue and something close to leopard print, the 'curse' lay dead on the ground. Its head bled excessively.

Eloise stared at it, the realization coming to her, "That isn't a curse."

Nanami wiped the blood off of his bandaged knife, "...hmmm."

Before he could talk, another live being that was shaped like a curse landed on top of Eloise, her hands barely able to stop her fall. She cried out in pain as she face-planted.

Sukuna and Nanami ran to help, but they too were jumped by the things shaped like curses.

Sukuna, by Nanami's orders, didn't fight with his cursed technique. Just like Eloise, a fake curse caught him off-guard. He fell to the ground and couldn't get back up. Nanami hoplessly watched as both his students were dragged away from him. Once he killed one fake curse, another one took its place. He couldn't break free of that pattern.

Eloise lay face-down on the ground, pinned there. She was confused as to why the fake curse wasn't killing her. She took those moments to control her breathing. Her head was fuzzy after the fall. When she opened her eyes, she wasn't near Nanami or Sukuna.

She sat up and looked around, "I'm still in the skatepark?". She could hear Nanami fighting from afar.

The fake curse stood next to her and then, without warning, jumped at her.

Through instinct, just like when Eloise had first ever encountered a cursed spirit, she looked at it and initiated her cursed technique, Deja Vu.

The fake curse continued running forward as she doged it. She cursed herself for using Deja Vu in the open like this.

The fake curse did not advance, but merely laid down and cried. She slowly approached it and noticed it was unable to move and it couldn't breath.

It looked like it was in serious pain, so she shed a tear for it and then ended its suffering with one blow.

She only took a moment to grieve for it then she collected herself. She had to help Nanami. From what she could tell, Sukuna was not with him.

As she ran towards Nanami, she heard footsteps running after her. After looking,she was relieved to see that is was Sukuna.

Just as she feared, his eyes were red and it seemed like he had four eyes instead of his usual two, "Stay here. You shouldn't be helping." He ordered as he quickly ran past her.

She rolled her eyes and continued forward, "No way."

He quickly halted and turned around, a menacing and almost murderous look on his face, "You CAN'T help, alright? If you don't want to get hurt, stay back." He then continued his quick run to Nanami.

Eloise stood still, a chill running down her spine. Chills of fear, and also hate. What did he know? Did he really think she was that weak??

Tears threatened to come out of her eyes, but she pushed them back. 'What authority does he have over me?' She thought.

Into the chaos she went, a new flame of rage backing her up.

Right as she went to strike a blow at a fake curse, it was ripped to shreds by Sukuna. She saw the bloody scene before her and gasped. The dead bodies had to be more than 30...or 40! She felt a sour taste travel up her throat and bent over as the foul bile exited her mouth.

Nanami had Sukuna by the ear and was yelling at him. Eloise noticed a gash on Nanami's arm and side. Sukuna had no injuries, but he was covered in blood. Not his own blood.

She grimaced and then walked up to them, "What...what were those."

Nanami let go of Sukuna and turned to her, his face grim, "Humans."

She fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

Mahito watched the scene play out form afar, his grin getting bigger and bigger the longer the student fought. All the assumptions about him being true. This was the host of Yui Dazou's cursed energy.

He watched the girl for a second, curious as to what the jujutsu sorcerers were so concerned about curse users and curses finding out. Was she another host to Yui Dazou's cursed energy?

She did something that made Mahito almost scared. She did 'The Stare'.

Something only Nakai did when using his pure cursed technique 'Obedience'. Now that was something worth seeing.

"This is too good." He laughed as the sorcerers killed all the disfigured humans and left back to their school, "They didn't notice me?" He asked, slightly offended, "Oh well, gives me more time to play with them."

He stood up and went to return back to his bosses lair.

Nakai will be waiting for good news.
