5: Gathering Shadows

The sun climbed higher into the sky, casting warm light over the bustling campus of Tokyo Jujutsu High. The morning drills were well underway, with students practicing their techniques under the watchful eyes of their instructors. Miyako Gojo stood at the edge of the training grounds, observing the activity with a focused gaze. Her thoughts, however, were far from the exercises unfolding before her.

After the meeting with her brother, Gojo Satoru, she had been tasked with gathering information on Geto Suguru's group. This involved speaking with other sorcerers, examining reports, and trying to piece together a pattern from the seemingly random movements of Suguru's allies. It was a daunting task, but Miyako was determined to uncover the truth.

She turned and made her way across the training grounds, weaving through groups of students practicing hand-to-hand combat and curse techniques. The energy was high, but Miyako felt a sense of underlying tension. The recent surge in cursed spirit activity had everyone on edge, and the presence of Suguru's group only added to the uncertainty.

As she entered the main building, Miyako spotted a familiar face-Yuta Okkotsu, one of the most promising young sorcerers at Tokyo Jujutsu High. He was standing near the bulletin board, reading a mission report with intense focus. His dark hair fell over his eyes, and he wore a simple white shirt with the school's emblem.

"Hey, Yuta," Miyako said, approaching him with a friendly smile. "Got a minute?"

Yuta looked up, startled at first, but quickly relaxed when he saw who it was. "Miyako-san! Sure, is there anything you need?"

"I was wondering if you've heard anything about Geto's group," she said, keeping her voice low to avoid drawing attention. "Any sightings, reports, anything that might help us figure out what they're planning?"

Yuta scratched his head, glancing around to make sure no one was listening. "Well, there have been a few reports of strange activity in Shibuya. Some of the other students mentioned seeing unfamiliar sorcerers around there. It could be related to him, but no one knows for sure."

Miyako nodded, taking note of the information. "Thanks, Yuta. If you hear anything else, let me know, okay?"

"Okay," he replied with a nod. "Are you planning on heading to Shibuya to investigate?"

Miyako considered the question for a moment. Going to Shibuya would be risky, especially if Suguru's group was active in the area. But she knew that avoiding danger wasn't an option. "Yeah, I think I'll check it out. We need to know what they're up to."

Yuta looked concerned. "Um, I haven't met Geto-san in person yet, but I've heard about his history. Please be careful."

Miyako appreciated his concern and gave him a reassuring smile. "I will. Thanks, Yuta."

As she left the main building, she made her way toward the school's administrative wing, where mission reports were stored. She needed to gather as much information as possible before heading to Shibuya. The administrative wing was a quiet place, with rows of filing cabinets and stacks of paperwork. It was where the school's staff kept records of past missions, reports on cursed spirit activity, and other crucial documents.

Miyako entered the wing and found the head administrator, a middle-aged man named Toshio, who had been with Tokyo Jujutsu High for decades. He was known for his meticulous record-keeping and strict adherence to protocol.

"Good morning, Toshio," Miyako said as she approached his desk. "I'm looking for any recent reports on cursed spirit activity in Shibuya. Can you help me with that?"

Toshio looked up from his paperwork and adjusted his glasses. "Good morning, Miyako. Of course, I can. We've had a few reports of unusual activity in Shibuya recently. Give me a moment to find them."

He stood and walked over to a filing cabinet, flipping through the folders with practiced ease. After a moment, he returned with a small stack of reports and handed them to Miyako. "Here you go. These are the most recent reports from Shibuya. Some of them mention unusual sightings, but nothing definitive."

Miyako took the reports and thanked him. As she left the administrative wing, she began to flip through the documents, scanning for any useful information. The reports described various encounters with cursed spirits, but a few mentioned sightings of unfamiliar sorcerers lurking in the shadows. It wasn't much, but it was a start.

By the time she reached her dorm room, Miyako had a clearer picture of the situation in Shibuya. Suguru's group was definitely active in the area, but their intentions remained unclear. She needed to proceed with caution and gather more information before making any moves.

As she sat at her desk, she pulled out a map of Tokyo and marked the locations mentioned in the reports. Most of the activity was concentrated around Shibuya's entertainment district, a bustling area filled with shops, restaurants, and clubs. It was the perfect place for Suguru's group to blend in and avoid detection.

Miyako took a deep breath and stared at the map. She knew she would need to be careful, especially if she was going to Shibuya alone. The risks were high, but the potential rewards-finding out what Suguru's group was planning and stopping them before they caused harm-were worth it.

She spent the next few hours reviewing the reports, noting any patterns or connections that might lead her to Suguru's allies. It was tedious work, but Miyako was nothing if not thorough. By the time she finished, she had a list of key locations to investigate and a plan for her trip to Shibuya.

As the day drew to a close, Miyako knew that the next step would be the most challenging yet. She would have to venture into the heart of Shibuya, where danger lurked around every corner. But she was ready. The fight against Suguru's group was just beginning, and she was determined to do whatever it took to protect Tokyo Jujutsu High and the people she cared about.
