   𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 110 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞, "𝐁𝐮𝐭, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥...". The drink fell to the bottom with a loud metallic clang, Satoru quickly grabbed it, "I get why the curse user group Q is after her..." Satoru pulled the tab on the soda can toward him, releasing a satisfying pss noise at it clicked open. "... But why does the star religious group want to kill her?"

   Rintaro dragged her feet as she followed Suguru and Satoru towards their assigned objective point, "What they worship is a pure Master Tengen." Suguru slouched as he put his hands in his pockets, feeling irritated with having to repeat what their sensei already told them hours ago. Him and Rintaro fell fatigued with the missions imperfect timing that made their hangover brutal. "A star plasma vessel would soil that purity according to them."

   Satoru looked to his sister who wandered the long stone path, offering her a sip of his drink once he gained her attention with his stare. "But the star religious group are non-curse users. We shouldn't have to worry about them too much." Rintaro looked to Suguru, a confused look on her face, "But we do need to be wary of Q! They will kill us, no doubt, if we got in their way."

   Suguru side eyed her as she stared into space, recounting Yaga's take on one of the two groups targeting the star plasma vessel, Q; The organization aiming to overturn the current jujutsu world by having Master Tengen lose all reason...

   "Anyways it should be okay. We're the strongest." Rintaro and Suguru's heads snapped to the egotistical boy. Suguru cleared his throat as he found it the perfect time to give Satoru a lecture regarding how he speaks to others and why his juniors lack respect for him, as well as why it's going to be a problem if they have to meet Master Tengen.

"Guys... look." Rintaro gained the two's attention by elbowing Satoru, who tottered into Suguru's personal space, initiating a brawl between them. Until they looked to where Rintaro pointed, the top floor of the objectives location where gray smoke leaked out a massive hole in the building.

   "Is it our fault if the kids already dead?" Satoru muttered through closed teeth. Suguru sent him a dirty look as he summoned a cursed spirit in his downturned hand. "And she's falling..." Satoru watched through his shades as the star plasma vessel plummeted to the ground.

Rintaro elbowed her twin in the chest as Suguru hastily climbed on top of his cursed spirit. Wasting no time as he ducked and minimized his air resistance to catch the falling vessel as soon as he could. He squinted his yellow eyes and opened his arms, waiting for the vessel to contact him.

   "Don't go making a mess now..." Suguru looked down to the girl that just fell in his arms, and then up to a Q soldier who stepped out from the smoke of the building, peering down at the curse user in front of him."My friend here just got in trouble last night." Suguru eyed her school uniform, wondering if she truly was the vessel or just some bystander in the way.

   "That uniform... you're from Jujutsu high, aren't you?" The Q soldier eyed the raven haired boy who sat atop his sting ray cursed spirit, "Hand over the child... or die!" The soldier lowered his gaze and pointed his sword at Suguru, trying to scare the young boy.

   "Sorry, I can't hear you." Suguru cupped his ear playfully with one hand, chuckling to himself. "Come a little closer, would you?" A smirk widening on his face as he watched the soldiers eyes tense with anger.

   Satoru and Rintaro squinted at the scene from below, both wiping imaginary sweat from their foreheads after Sugury caught the vessel successfully. "Whew, just in time." Satoru smiled, he flinched and grabbed onto Rintaro's hand, gaining her attention.
