P.O.V 3rd

"Just to recap. When you're done here I have another mission lined up for you, and then you'll join up with Yuji as support if he's not done by then. Clear?" 

"Crystal." (Y/n) nodded to Gojo as they stood in front of an abandoned large building the sun setting over the countryside town "Eh, can you hold this at least?" He held a bag of clothes out to Gojo who happily obliged

"Good luck!"

"Wait- He's gone..." (Y/n) shook his head in disappointment as his teacher disappeared right before his eyes 'Well at least we went shopping today.' Instead of entering the building (Y/n) turned around and walked down the path they came from

'I'll get more information on this place before I go in. So far all I know is that. One, this is an abandoned school. Two, there's a curse inside.' The boy sighs before his body jerks to the right avoiding a stone blade

'Now that curse is outside. How convenient.'

"You... are you Itadori Yuji or Itadori (Y/n)?" (Y/n)'s eyes widen in shock as he turned to glare at the curse who stood unphased

"What's it to you?" He calmly said to the stone golem-looking curse

"Hmm, according to Jogo sensei. Humans prefer others to introduce themselves before doing the same. It appears that's true." The curse bowed politely shocking the sorcerer who stood a few feet before him "My name's Geo. You must be (Y/n). While I will admit you're cursed energy reserves are quite massive you don't have the malicious vibe I imagine the king of curses would have."

"Geo? Judging by the stone knife and your name I imagine you have some control over rocks? What rank are you?" (Y/n) Although cautious, took this opportunity to extract some information from Geo who didn't mind

"Some rocks would be a large understatement. But yes I do control it, think about landslides and things of that nature. I'm sure that even with the small amount of information my sentence gave you, you know I'm a special grade. Correct?" Geo's eyelids began to twitch out of irritation as a bead of sweat rolled down the side of (Y/n)'s face

"Special grade huh? Pretty nice I'd say. How old are you?" The sorcerer watched in concern as the curse's movements began to grow more erratic before it finally shouted

"TO HELL WITH ALL THIS TALKING! YOU AREN'T SUKUNA'S VESSEL SO THAT MEANS I CAN KILL YOU!" The curse slapped his hands together forcing (Y/n) to dodge a large boulder that manifested above him

'He said Jogo sensei earlier right? Assuming curses mature somewhat like humans then he must be pretty young with how he's acting. That's a good sign for me then, he isn't as strong as he could be.' Taking a gamble (Y/n) instead of dodging, kicks a new boulder just as it manifested hoping to shoot it at the curse yet to his surprise it shattered the moment his kick came in contact with it

'This stone... If it's this weak then that means this thing has to be young. Perfect!' Landing calmly the young sorcerer addresses the curse "Hey Geo, right? This Jogo sensei of yours. Does he happen to have a volcano head? If so then he got whooped pretty bad in his fight against Gojo sensei."

The curse's eyes widen in anger. "Jogo sensei? Beaten? Ha nice joke, I bet he could even beat full-power Sukuna!"

"Is that so?" A grin forms on (Y/n)'s face as he prepares to fight back 'I'll assume that the Volcano curse told him he was special grade. Since he's learning I doubt he has Domain Expansion.'

"Of course it is!" The curse claps his hands once more as pillars shoot from the ground behind him jetting straight toward (Y/n) yet as he goes to dodge a dull pain rings throughout his body
