beauty standards? who even cares at this point. everyone ends up looking disastrous once they get older. even the best looking people gain wrinkles. there's no point in looking beautiful. there's no point in anything. unless you find something meani...

A DETENTION CENTER.
it was reported that a curse womb was spotted here. it may be strong. so who was sent? the first years, obviously! surely they can handle a curse womb on their own. right?
"our window verified the curse womb three hours ago. once ninety-percent were successfully evacuated, they made the call to seal off the center," ijichi informed. "citizens within a five hundred meter radius have been evacuated as well."
"mr. ijichi, question. what's a window here?" yuji asked, raising his hand.
"a window is a member of jujutsu tech who can see curses. they aren't sorcerers, though," he replied.
"oh, okay."
"let's continue. detainee block 2. at present, five of them remain there with the curse womb. if this curse womb is the type that has metamorphoses, we predict it will become a special-grade cursed spirit."
everyone understood what that meant. "hey, so, i still don't really understand what 'special-grade' means." everyone but yuji. the three of his classmates sighed, wondering just how he hadn't learned yet after so long.
"then allow me to explain it on idiot level. first, there's grade 4. a wooden bat is enough for them. grade 3. if you have a handgun, you can rest easy. grade 2. it'll be a close call with a shotgun. grade 1. even a tank might be insufficient. then there's special-grade. let's say you might be on even footing if you carpet bomb it with cluster bombs."
"sounds bad!" yuji exclaimed, his hand somehow wounding up to rest on your shoulder.
"usually a strong sorcerer like gojo-sensei would take on the mission," you said, patting his hand.
"i see. so, where is he?" he asked.
"away on business," megumi replied. "he's not someone who should be loafing around at school in the first place."
"our line of work is always lacking in manpower," ijichi added. "you'll often have to undertake missions beyond your power. this particular case, however, is an abnormal one, and most urgent. do not fight under any circumstances. when confronted by a special-grade, you're to either run or you die."
both nobara and yuji tensed, obviously not used to such strong adversaries. you and megumi, however, were used to facing something stronger than you. and you both know how and when to run.
"please, listen to your fears. don't forget that your mission here is strictly the verification and rescue of survivors."
a random woman's voice cut in. "excuse me, where is tadashi?!" she was being held back by some bodyguards, or windows, as they were described as earlier.
