Ash breathed heavily as the dust from the impact flew everywhere. "W-Woah! That feeling! Did i... use Cursed Energy?" Ash asked as he clenched his fist. He could feel all of the curse energy in his body flowing.

The curse spirit stepped out of the wall, it's face steaming from the punch. It rushed at Ash and prepared a punch. "(Dodge!)" Ash yelled. He jumped out of the way and winded his fist back. "(Remember that feeling! Throw another punch with Cursed Energy!)" Ash thought. He tried to use Cursed Energy again, but was unsuccessful. "Damn it!" Ash said as he threw the punch, causing the curse to stumble backwards. Ash jumped backwards and got into a fighting stance.

The curse stuck it's hand out and a portal appeared. It punched the portal, causing one to form under Ash's chin. Ash was hit by the punch and sent into the air. The curse moved faster than Ash could react and appeared next to him in the air. It spun really fast and kicked Ash in the stomach, causing him to cough up blood before flying and crashing into the ground.

Ash got up and was immediately punched in the face again. "(Damn it! I landed one good punch and now it's going all out! What the hell do i do?!)" Ash thought as it started dashing around him really quickly.

Payton cut down the last curse and took a deep breath before sheathing his katana. "That's the last one. We should be good for now," Payton said. "C'mon! We gotta help Ash!" Kingston said. "We can't," Payton responded. He pointed at the wall he broke through, which was now fixed. "What?!" Kingston asked. "The incomplete Domain is shifting the building around. We can't go back the way we came. Our best plan of action right now is to find a way out of here," Payton said.

"You're saying we abandon Ash?" Kingston asked. "No. Help is already on the way," Payton said. "How do you know?" Kingston asked. "Before the mission, i told Saito to come help us if we were gone for too long. He should be on his way right now," Payton said. "Saito's coming? Well, that's a relief. Let's just hope Ash makes it out alive," Kingston said. Kingston nodded in agreement. "I stuck a tracker at the entrance. Cmon, let's go!" Kingston said. The two sorcerers both started running out of the room and down the hallways.

Ash slid backwards and crashed into a wall, coughing up blood on impact. He stumbled forwards and got back into a fighting stance. His vision was blurry and he could barely stand up straight. "Damn it!" Ash yelled. The cursed spirit grinned and stuck its hand out. Suddenly, a ball of cursed energy formed. "W-What?! It's using pure cursed energy!" Ash yelled. The curse threw the ball of cursed energy at Ash, faster than he could react. It hit Ash and exploded, sending Ash flying back into the wall. Ash groaned and pain and fell face first onto the ground.

"D-Damn... it," He said weakly as the cursed spirit walked closer. It reached its hand out and was about to grab Ash when it's hand suddenly disappeared. It look suprised before it started looking around the room frantically. "Hmph. I can't believe they sent some first years to deal with a grade one curse. The highers up are really stupid," A deep voice said. Suddenly, a man appeared in front of Ash and kicked the cursed spirit backwards, sending it sliding back.

It started backing up slowly as it felt the cursed energy of the Jujutsu Sorcerer. He was much older than Ash and had black hair with white tips.

"You okay?" The man asked Ash. "Y..." Ash tried to answer, but he couldn't get the words out. "It's find. You're injured. Don't push yourself. I'll deal with this curse," the man said as he gripped the handle of the Katana he was holding. He suddenly appeared behind the cursed spirit and stabbed it in the back of the head. He slammed the curse into the ground, causing a huge crater to form.

On the other side of the building, Kingston and Payton were climbing upwards towards the exit when they heard the building shake. "That must be him. Saito's here," Payton said.

The dust cleared and Saito was standing on top of the cursed spirit, who couldn't move. "Right. I should exorcise you now," Saito said. He reached down and placed his hand onto the curse spirits head. Suddenly, it started melting. "(That's what Isamu did to the curse who attacked me when we met!)" Ash thought. Ash used all of his strength to push himself up and stand on his feet. "I said, don't push yourself," Saito said as he put his katana in its sheath and walked over to Ash. "Who are you? How did you take that curse down so easily?!" Ash asked.

"I'll answer your questions later. For now, take a nap," Saito said as he flicked Ash's forehead. Suddenly, Ash passed out and fell forward. Saito caught him with one arm and threw him over his shoulders. "(The curse is dead, so the Incomplete Domain should disappear. I can't sense anymore power spirits anywhere. I should get this boy to the hospital.)" Saito said as he closed his eyes and disappeared.
