The Gojo compound was filled with the sounds of repair—workers were busy restoring the training grounds Seijuro had inadvertently destroyed the night before. They had relocated their training to another open area within the compound. The new space was a wide, grassy field surrounded by tall trees, the perfect place for Satoru to practice without worrying about more collateral damage.

Seijuro stood a few feet away, watching Satoru concentrate, his small hands outstretched as he tried to summon Blue. Satoru's brow was furrowed, a slight glimmer of sweat forming on his forehead. Despite possessing the Six Eyes, he was struggling, which surprised Seijuro. Satoru was a natural, blessed with unparalleled talents in the sorcery world, yet even he was finding it difficult to conjure Blue with consistency.

Seijuro frowned thoughtfully. Watching Satoru wrestle with something that came so naturally to him was strange. He wanted to help, though he knew his knowledge was limited to what he'd learned from the manga. All he had were theories and descriptions he remembered—ironic, given that the adult Satoru had explained Blue in such depth.

Still, he could try.

"Satoru," he called out, stepping closer. Satoru glanced back at him, his blue eyes filled with frustration and determination.

"Yes, Father?" Satoru asked, clearly eager for any advice.

Seijuro took a deep breath, replaying the adult Satoru's words in his mind. "Alright, here's the thing about Blue—it's not just about summoning cursed energy. It's about thinking beyond it." He paused, trying to find the right words. "You're using your cursed energy to distort space, create a powerful attraction force. Imagine that every ounce of your focus, every bit of cursed energy, is bending reality toward a single point... where everything is meant to collapse."

Satoru nodded, absorbing his father's words.

"And, well..." Seijuro continued, a slight grin spreading across his face as he recalled his attempt the previous night. "Just destroy everything. Pour everything into that point without holding back."

Satoru blinked, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he took in the advice. He nodded, his eyes flashing with renewed determination.

Seijuro took a step back, giving his son the space he needed. Satoru extended his arms again, his focus sharpening as he concentrated on the point before him. Seijuro watched as Satoru's gaze intensified, his blue eyes narrowing with a clarity and resolve that only came with the Six Eyes. He gathered his cursed energy, channeling it precisely, just as his father instructed.

And then, he felt it.

A deep pulse of energy radiated from Satoru's hands. An orb of pure blue energy spiraled into existence in a flash, pulling everything toward it.

Seijuro's eyes widened, his heart swelling with pride and excitement. "He did it!" he muttered, unable to contain his grin.

Satoru looked back at his father, his face lighting up with a triumphant smile. He'd done it—he'd summoned Blue, and it felt perfect. He looked at the orb for a moment longer, basking himself in control and power.

"Alright, Satoru," Seijuro said, still grinning. "Let's see what it can do. Aim it at the wall over there."

Satoru nodded eagerly and turned toward the wall on the far side of the field, his focus locked on the target. With a single, decisive motion, he unleashed the energy.

—BOOM!

The blast echoed across the compound as the Blue orb collided with the wall, shattering it instantly. The energy tore through the stone, leaving a massive hole in its wake. Dust and debris flew through the air, settling around the area as the destruction became clear.
