"Sorry to have bothered both of you." Kiyotaka says. "Our inspections showed that someone lowered a second veil on top of my own. We don't know who yet, but we're analyzing the residual energy. In addition, a semi-first grade made an unexpected appearance. It's my fault for not being as thorough as I should have. I'll accept any punishment."

"Please, it's not your fault." (Y/N) replies with a serious tone.

"You're fine, you were just outclassed." Gojo adds, also serious.

"Uh, outclassed by who? Do you have an idea about who did it?" the man with glasses asks.

The two others remained quiet for a moment, both thinking about the same thing. Or rather, the same person.

"Suguru Geto." Gojo answers. "A special grade jujutsu socerer. One of four who was banished from Jujutsu High. He cursed over a hundred normal people to death. The worst curse user ever."

......

Yaga, Gojo, and (Y/N) were standing together, discussing as they watched the first years walk outside through the window.

"We still aren't picking up on any activities from Geto. Are you sure you're not both worrying over him for nothing?"

"Principle, it pains me to tell you that's not possible." Gojo replies. "I confirmed it myself on the scene. There's no way I would mistake the residuals of Suguru Geto's cursed energy."

"(F/N), you're awfully quiet." the dark-haired man remarks.

"I have nothing to say. He's right. It is Surugu, I know it without a doubt." the girl answers.

......

A huge bird appeared and landed on the school grounds, right in front of the four first years. Geto quickly got to Okkotsu's side and started talking, explaining his ideas to the confused student.

"Which is exactly why we would like you to help us." the man says.

"Help you with what?"

"We're going to kill all non-sorcerers and create a world of jujutsu sorcerers."

The four students were stunned. What in the world is this person saying?

"Do me a favor." a voice suddenly interrupts. "Could you please stop preaching your crazy ideas to my students."

"Satoru! Long time no see!" Geto answers with a smile, his arm still around Okkotsu's shoulders.

"Step away from those kids." another voice says from beside Gojo.

"(F/N)! You're here too!" the man with dark hair replies. "I heard this year's first years were simply outstanding, seems it's true. You still have an eye for talent Satoru. A special grade cursed human, a cursed corps mutation, a cursed speech user, and lastly, the Zenin clan's biggest failure."

"You piece of shit!" Maki exclaims, pointing her tool at him.

"You better watch that mouth of yours. Because I don't need any monkeys like you in the world I'm creating."

"Don't you talk to her like that. Suguru." (Y/N) says coldly.

Okkotsu suddenly pushes the man's arm off his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I don't really understand anything you're talking about. But I can't help anyone who insults my friends, so count me out." he declares.

"My apologies." Geto replies. "I didn't come here to insult you or your friends."

"Then why exactly did you come here?" Gojo asks, stepping in between Geto and his student while (Y/N) stands in front of the three others.

"I came to declare war." he answers before turning to face all the sorcerers. "Everyone gathered here today, I want you all to listen closely. On December 24th, when the sun sets, we shall begin the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. It will take place in the crucible of curses. Tokyo, Shinjuku and Kiyoto.  A thousand curses will be unleashed upon each place with the command massacre. If you wish to avoid a scene straight from hell, come and stop it with all your might. Let us truly curse each other."

"Ahhh! Mr. Geto! The café's gonna close!" a girl yells, checking her phone.

"Oh, it's that late already?" the dark-haired man replies before turning to Gojo. "You know how it is. These girls just have to get their favorite crepes from Takeshita Street."

"Hurry upp!"

"I'll take my leave now." he smiles, walking away.

"You didn't think we'd just let you leave." the blindfolded man says.

"Careful Satoru." Geto warns, making a bunch of curses appear around the students. "Your precious students are well within my range. Well, goodbye everybody, see you at the war."

He smiles and waves as (Y/N) quickly exorcises all the curses around the students with something that resembles a fire before turning around to see him flying away.

The memories of Geto leaving, the way he used to say that the strong's duty is to protect the weak, the emptiness they felt after he'd left. Everything seems to just come back to Gojo and (Y/N) as they watch him disappear into the sky.

......

All the sorcerers from school were in a meeting. As the principal was telling everyone to alert all those they could, Shoko and (Y/N) slipped out.

"Did you see him?"

"Yeah."

"Did he say anything?"

"No. Not really." she replies, glancing at her friend. "Shoko."

"Hm?"

"You'll never be alone, I promise."

The girl smiles slightly and hugs (Y/N).

"I know." she thinks. "As long as you're around."

......

"Are you okay?" Gojo asks (Y/N) after he gets out of the meeting.

"Yeah of course. What about you?"

"I'm talking about the curses earlier." he says, scanning her from head to toe. "You didn't get hurt right?"

"Of course not, they were just a bunch of low-level curses." she replies. "C'mon, you think I'm that weak?"

"No, I don-"

"I'm kidding, don't worryyy." the girl smiles teasingly. "Thank you for asking though, I'm truly honored."
