ONE, cursed object

ONE,

NIGHT
Sugisawa Third High School

TWO YOUNG SORCERERS were on a high school grounds searching for a cursed object that their teacher had told them to retrieve.

"Are you sure this is the right place Megumi?"

"I'm sure."

The boy spotted a small cabinet that stood obvious in his vision.

"They're keeping a cursed object in a place like this? Could they be any dumber?"

"Who's doing the honors you or me?"

Megumi looked at his only friend, debating whether or not he should open the cabinet.

  "Wait no! Let's do rock, paper, scissors!"

"Akane, this isn't the time to play that now, we have to take this back as soon as possible."

"Come on Megumi! Just this once!"

"Fine."

Both Megumi and Akane held out their fist, "Okay, rock, paper, scissors. . . shoot!"

Megumi made his hand into a scissors shape while Akane made her fist into a rock.

"Ha! Rock beats paper. I'll get it then."

Akane took a deep breath and quickly opened the cabinet; only to find nothing, just dust. Wide eyes appeared on the girl's face, "HUH?"

"What's the matter?"

"Either someone took it or it flew away. . ."

The black-haired boy looked inside, finding nothing as well. He instantly thought that someone has already taken it. The boy reached for his phone in his pocket and quickly dialed a number.

"Megumi! You missed your favorite person already?"

"Gojo, there's nothing here!"

"Huh?"

"The Stevenson screen is empty."

"For real? That's hilarious! Maybe it took a nighttime stroll."

"I'll punch you."

Akane turned around and heard the voice of Gojo, "Tell Gojo I said hi!"

"Ah is that my other favorite student I hear? Well, no going home until it's recovered, okay?"

Gojo hangs up, Megumi is staring at his phone trying to think where he can get clues on finding the cursed object. Both he and Akane are a bit annoyed and trying to collect their thoughts.

"I'm seriously going to punch him."

"He isn't that bad."

Megumi stared at Akane, with a poker face. Indicating that their teacher is one of the most annoying people he has ever met, ever since he was taken in by him.

"Ok never mind. Forget what I said."

It was the next day, particularly the afternoon, both Megumi and Akane were walking through the high school rugby field.

"I'm so tired."

"I told you to get some sleep."

"I know. . ."

As both of them were walking the field, they felt uneasy, not feeling wanted in the area. They looked at the ground and saw a grade 2 curse swarming on the ground.

"Let's bet right now... I think there's a dead body somewhere."

"We are not betting anything."

"Fine, but I think we should split up and hopefully one of us will find it by then."

Megumi thought for a moment but then realized how risky it was and also thought of a possibility that would result in either one of them being in grave danger as the cursed object is categorized as a special grade; meaning curses are after it.

"No, it's a risky situation."

"Over here! Coach Takagi is taking on Itadori from West Middle!"

"Let's go check out what's going on!" Akane expressed as she looked curious as to what was going on.

Megumi and Akane walked towards the field where a competition is taking place. With many students crowded, Akane was reminiscing about when she was in middle school; all the good times she had. She wished she could've gone to a regular high school but don't get her wrong though, she loves jujutsu high, but she just wanted to see what it was like to experience attending high school. Having many friends, doing homework, and studying, instead, she has to train and fight.

After her small daydream, Akane heard another shout that was coming near her and the raven-haired boy.

"Takagi got 14 meters! What are you gonna do Itadori?"

The two jujutsu sorcerers stood looking at the pink-haired kid, whose name is Itadori.

"You think he's famous or something?" Akane questioned.

"I highly doubt it." Megumi mumbles.

"So I can just throw it however I want?"

"Yep. I won't call any fouls."

Itadori throws an iron ball, hitting the side of a soccer net.

"30 meters!"

"Ha! I win!"

"Did you see that? Kid has talent! And pulled it off without any cursed energy."

Itadori grabbed his backpack and ran passed Megumi and Akane, both sensed a strange aura flowing from him.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Akane reached her hand out but Itadori was too fast.

Akane looked at Megumi with a shocked face,
"You felt it too?"

"Yes, the cursed object."

They both look at the distance where Itadori ran off.

"He's too damn fast."

"I heard he can run 50 meters in 3 seconds!"
