Right now, we cut to a shopping district in Shibuya, where citizens were enjoying the many shops in the district.
Where as both Izuku and Megumi were seen waiting on their third first year member.
"Isn't it too little for three people to be the only ones in first year?" Izuku asked, enjoying the taste of a popsicle.
"If that were the case, then that's because not many people can see Curses, that's how much of a minority shamans are" Megumi answers Izuku's question with the latter simply making a humming sound while finishing his popsicle.
"Alright then, but then if I'm the third student how come...." Izuku's words lingered which got Megumi to explain.
"Apparently her transfer was decided a while ago, it's just this kind of school, so maybe she had some circumstances...by the way, I'm still wondering how these quirks work, you think you can..."
This got Izuku to nod his head while grabbing his notebook, "Yeah no problem, Now from what I've gathered in the years, I would say this quirks are just a lowdown level of curse energy or it's just there and the people with quirks don't have much of a connection meaning that for some reason...."
He said this whiel explaining to Fushiguro, who was listening and feeling intrigued.
The sounds of footsteps got the two boys to stop their conversation and looked over to see their teacher,"Thanks for waiting and wow! The uniform made it in time I see"
Gojo said as Izuku was wearing his official school uniform, it was the Jujutsu high school uniform but it was different from Fushiguro's, with him having a red hoodie along with that came the shoes that were sneakers with the soles having metal built in, along with the colour being red and white.
"Yeah and I can tell it's a perfect fit...but it's a bit different with me having a hoodie though"
"That's because the uniforms can be customized upon request" Once Izuku how heard this, he raised his eyebrows a bit.
"Wait a minute, I never put in a request" Izuku said with Gojo simply ruffling the boys hair.
"That's cause I requested a custom one on my own for you" Gojo said towards Izuku, who was fixing his hair while thanking his teacher.
But Izuku felt something was a bit off when he look at his shoes but then he shook his head for a bit and reminded himself he'll say it for some other time.
Fushiguro then got close to Izuku, telling him to be careful around Gojo since he has this side of him that does these sort of things, this got Izuku to nod his slightly while Gojo was a bit hurt from what Megumi said.
"But there's something that's more important here, why are we meeting up in Harajuku?" Megumi asked with Gojo simply shrugging his shoulders.
"Well she said she wanted to meet up here" Gojo said which got Izuku.
'hmm, I wonder what our third student member is gonna be like?' as soon as Izuku thought of that, someone else decided to say his piece.
'This girl better have glorious boobs'
Izuku became extremely silent when he heard this, '...why exactly did you have to say that?'
'You'll know when you see them then you'll agree with me'
The was a bit unsettling for the youngan but all he could was let out a sigh.
A few moments later, near the busy streets of Harajuku, we see a middle age, short stature of a man, asking a very youthful woman if she has the moment of her time to speak with him, while showing his name card, asking the young lady if she's interested in modeling but she declined his offer, however, he didn't want to let her go just yet and was about to follow her, fortunately, he was suddenly stopped by someone who grabbed his shoulder.
"Hey you"
This person said with tone of seriousness, which got the man being nervous as he turned his attention to the one who said it and saw it was young woman.
"What about me?" She asked with the man being even more nervous than ever.
"it's about modeling,modeling! So I'm asking you how about me?" She asked as the man tried to back away.
"No,um I'm in a bit of a rush so..."
The man tried to leave but the girl didn't allow that with three individuals seeing the scene before their eyes.
"Huh, so that's her?...I kinda feel bad for the guy, sorry not sorry", Izuku said this while wearing large red sunglasses with the name Rook in Capital letters
"...I'm a bit surprised you even wanted to wear that?" Megjmi questioned with Izuku simply shrugging his shoulder.
"What can I say, the fanboy inside me hasn't left yet so I'll kinda try out some other things besides heroes" Izuku simply answered
"...fair enough"
Gojo decided to call out to the girl, which got her attention.
Right now, at a 400 yen locker area we see Izuku, Megumi and Gojo, waiting on the young woman.
"Alright then, let's get this over with, I'm Kugisaki Nobara, I'm the flower in a group of happy boys" the now named Nobara said which got Izuku to chuckle slightly but nevertheless, let's out a smile.
"My name is Midoriya Izuku, nice to meet you"
"I'm Fushiguro Megumi"
This made Kugisaki to stare at both of them, 'He'd definitely do things like lighting a full drenched in oil on fire just with his name, I can't stand boys that think they're all that...while the one with the green hair...for some reason I have the need to protect him, like he's some innocent little bunny', When she was finished with her thoughts, she sighed.
"I'm not very fortunate with my environment huh" She asked but more specifically to herself.
This made Izuku to tilt his head in confusion, 'she sighed after looking at our faces'
'Oh what do we have here, what's this I see...yes, this can work just fine, I'd give her an A+ for now'
Izuku then raised his eyebrows at the words that came from the King of Curses, 'Is there a reason why you just graded her?'
'You'll find out when you get the chance'
The way he said it, put Izuku on high alert.
'Just what is up with this guy?' Izuku thought.
"Are you going somewhere after this? Megumi asked Gojo who simply folded his arms.
"Hehehe, I've finally gathered my three students and on that note...we're going sightseeing in Tokyo"
This made Kugisaki excited meanwhile both Fushiguro and Izuku sweat drop.
"Well then, I'll announce where we'll be going...and that's Roppongi"
This got Kugisaki and also Izuku excited.
"How come you're getting excited?" Megumi asked.
"Because, I never went to Roppongi, with it being amazing in the day and even more thrilling in the night" Izuku said with a warm aura surrounding that it was difficult for Megumi to keep his eyes open.
But unfortunately that wasn't the case, when the group saw that it was just an abandoned building.
"There are curses here, aren't there?", Megumi sadi a blank like tone.
"You liar!don't toy with county folks like that!" Nobara said with anger which got Gojo to sheepishly scratch the back of his head.
"Sorry about that, but there's a huge cemetery, which means there's a curse outbreak there and in the abandoned building too"
This got Izuku thinking with serious look on his face, "So from what I can think of, the people who think the gravesites are scary, it produces the curse similar to what happened back at the school?"
"Yeah that's right" Megumi said and this was the tien Nobara decided to intervene.
"Hey hold on a second, this guy doesn't much about this?" as She asked that, both Megumi and Gojo looked over the green haired boy, who simply scratched the back of his head in embarrassment with Fushiguro explaining Izuku's circumstance.
It didn't take a few seconds later for Nobara to look at Izuku with disgust.
"HE DID WHAT?!"
When she shouted she took a step back when she heard that Izuku swallowed the special grade cursed object.
"That's so nasty!! No way!! How unsanitary!!"
All Izuku could do was let out a sigh and ten look towards Gojo, "OK, besides me having my new classmate giving me look of disgust, what exactly is the plan here, Gojo-sensei?"
"I want to know how far you guys can go, so this is like a practical test of sorts, so Nobara,Izuku, both of you go and exorcise the curses inside the building"
Once Izuku heard this, he had a worried look, "But you can only exorcise a curse with another Sensei, you know I can't use sorcery yet so" He trailed off and then Gojo decided to ease the boys worried heart.
"You're right on that but just remember, you're a half curse with its magic flowing through your body but since you don't have control over it, you'll need help, which is why I'll let you use this"
When Izuku looked to see it was a small dagger, he was fascinated when he felt an aura coming off from it.
"This is called, Slaughter Demon, it's a weapon with Cursed energy confined inside, this should be effective on the Curses"
But Izuku look down at his feet which got Gojo's attention and he could only smile, "I see you found out something strange with the shoes as well"
"...there imbued with Curse energy as well aren't they?" Izuku asked.
"Yep, I figured you're someone who uses his legs more than your fist so the metal is also incased with cursed energy so you can give those curses a surprise attack"
Izuku nodded his head and was about to head inside with Nobara but he was stopped by Gojo who told him to surpress Sukuna, which made Izuku confused
"If you don't, any nearby curses will instantly be killed and also people nearby will also get dragged into it"
Izuku nods his head while passing notebook to Fushiguro who caught it,"I'll do what I can and Fushiguro read on page 168, you'll see something interesting"
"hey hurry up" Nobara called out to Izuku with an impatient tone.
"OK ok, jeez" Izuku said as he followed after her inside of the building.
"I think I'll go in too" Megumi said but was stopped from taking a single step form where he was, courtesy of Gojo him, who shook his head.
"Don't push yourself, after all, you're still recovering" Gojo said with Megumi not liking the idea but nevertheless stopped his advance.
"Even so, someone should be keeping on eye on Izuku,right?" Megumi asked with Gojo looking towards the building.
"That's true, but the one we're actually testing this time is Nobara...by the way what was it he wanted you to see in that Notebook of his?" Gojo asked.
This made Fushiguro to wonder until he went to the page Izuku instructed him to go to and what he saw, got him intrigued and as for Gojo he can only stare and laugh.
"Well I'll be damned, this kid is something else"
What they saw was Theories that was based off of Cursed Energy, along with their limitations, Advantages, Information that was broadly branched off of the subject and other minor details.
The way it was written got both Megumi and Gojo to rub their eyes from the maintenance of words Izuku had written.
----------------------------------------------------------
Right now inside of the building, we see Nobara letting out a sigh, " so bothersome, why do we have to interact with curses first thing in Tokyo?" She grumbled.
"well we have to exorcise some Curses, so it couldn't be helped" Izuku said.
"If that's the case, let's save some time and split up, I'll start from the top and go floor to floor while you start from the bottom, so let's get this over with quick and grab some sushi"
"Um sure, but be careful OK, who knows how dangerous these curses are" Izuku said towards Nobara, with the girl looking at the boy with a slight blush forming, that quickly disappeared as she ran down the stairs towards Izuku and kicks him heard enough to make him hit the ground.
The action surprised the boy, "Ow! Why!?" Izuku questioned.
"I don't wanna hear it from someone who was a normie until recently"
"Ok ok, I'm sorry"
That only got Nobara even more frustrated as she left the scene, "This is why you're unpopular" She said, leaving Izuku alone.
"...does she even know if I'm popular with girls to begin with?"
'wow, I didn't know this girl could be a Bitch'
'Sukuna! None of that!'
'what?I'm just saying she acts like a bitch...gives me a reason to train her~'
'OK, that's unsettling'
Just as Izuku finished that thought, a curse appears above to sneak up to him and attempted to stab him but Izuku cuts it arm, using slaughter demon and flips out of the way.
"Here...is your...receiiiipt" The curse said as it rushes towards Izuku, who dodges the attack and slices the cursed spirit underneath it and then rushes back and begins to slice through its legs.
With great leap towards the air, Izuku stabs the cursed spirit in the head until it stopped moving, "OK then, that's that"
Outside the building, both Gojo and Megumi were still reading through Izuku's notebook.
"About Izuku...man he's a crazy one, he has no hesitation to the curses that are grotesque, whether they take the form of the living, if those curses try to kill him, he goes to get rid of them without an ounce of remorse towards them. Unlike you, he hasn't been in contact with curses for a long time either and he's just a boy who's been living a normal highschool life, so he probably would've gone to a hero school and try to go Pro. You've seen plenty of Jujutsu Sorcerers, even those with talent give up in frustration because they couldn't conquer there fear and disgust that comes with destroying curses, haven't you Megumi? so Today, I want to check if she has...that craziness." Gojo said.
----------------------------------------------------------
Right now, we see Nobara in one of the rooms and looking around, until her eyes landed towards one specific area,"Hey, the curse over there. The mannequin in the middle, are you planning on hiding inside?"
Saying this while bringing out two large nails and a hammer, "If you're not coming, then I'll exorcise you as you are."
Back outside, Megumi said that Nobara has experience so she must have that craziness but Gojo said that curses were born from people's minds, so they increase proportionally in number and size to the population.
Nobara, who readies her nails and strikes them using her hammer and getting a clean headshot on the mannequin with it starting to fall over but suddenly it remained standing.
----------------------------------------------------------
"Do you think Nobara understands that curses in Tokoyo are on a different level than those in the country side?" Gojo asked.
----------------------------------------------------------
With that, the eyes of the curse begin to appear as it readies itself in an attacking stance.
"Careful with the nails, it's best if you take them out"
With that, she snapped her fingers with the curse staggering.
"Because my curse energy flows in them"
And then, the head of the mannequin that had the curse exploded.
'good, it's settled' She thought but then she heard the sound of boxes moving making her turn to see a young child with tears in his eyes.
'What? a child? He must've snuck in for some reason and encountered the curse'
When she approached the child telling him to come out and saying it's alright but the young one refused which got Nobara to sigh and turn around, "I guess it's true that kids don't warm up to beautiful women. I better call Midoriya."
But child stops her, making her turn around only to see that the child was grabbed by a hairy looking cursed spirit.
This leads to Nobara gonig into a fighting stance but the fact that she can't attack it because the cursed spirit holds up his hand and threatens to kill the child.
'Damn it, it's taking him hostage, this curse has intelligence'
Outside the building
"When I say "Level" I don't just mean the amount of cursed energy they have...it's their cunning. Monsters that have gained wisdom will often force cruel choices upon you...with the weight of human lives in the balance" Gojo stated.
Back inside, Nobara could only glare at the curse, cursing inside her mind knowing that this curse wasn't that strong, 'Grade 4...maybe even a lower grade 3 at best! But it's awareness is the reason why it chooses to take a hostage...I need to stay calm, if I die, the child dies too...but if the child dies, I won't die...speaking logically, it's better if I survive at least...'
She then drops her hammer and nails and sighed in defeat, "I'm unarmed so let the boy go." Nobara said But the curse only refused and displayed a smug grin on its ugly face.
This caused Nobara to curse at herself for being an idiot,' I wish...I could've seen Saori-chan one last time."
The curse continued to laugh until the wall behind him breaks, with a fist breaking through until the rest of the wall starts to break even more and the curses arms that held the child was sliced off by a blade and the curse spirit was kicked and pushed back with the person who saved the child next to Nobara.
The child looks towards the one who saved him and him along with Nobara saw that it was Izuku with a serious look on his face until he grew a concerned look towards the child.
"Are you ok?" Izuku asked the young boy, who nodded his head which made Izuku relieved.
But just as Izuku took his eyes off of the curse, that led it to phase through the wall, "Damn it, it's getting away!
"I don't think so! Midoriya! give me that arm!"
This lead to Izuku being confused until he smirked.
When the curse was seen jumping through the building both Fushiguro and Gojo saw the Curse Spirit.
"I'll exorcise it" Megumi said as he was about to use his technique but Gojo stopped him.
"Now hold On, things are about go get interesting"
----------------------------------------------------------
Nobara then puts a straw doll on top of the cursed spirits arm, this go the child to be confused at the doll while Izuku was curious.
'I'll say this once, I've seen better'
'You're just a bunch of sunshine, aren't you?'
'I'm worse than Sunshine you brat, I'm literally Worse'
With their conversation coming to a close, Izuku observed Nobara, who's was preparing her hammer and nail.
"Straw Doll Technique"
And then slams the nail onto the Straw Doll while finishing her technique, "Resonace!"
The sound of the curses heartbeat pounded and then having multiple spikes coming out of it, as it begins to fade away.
The two onlookers saw the scene with one of bebung impressed.
"Nice, She's crazy alright" Gojo said with a smile while Megumi simply sighed while finishing reading Izuku's notebook.
Inside the building, Nobara breathed heavily while saying they've won but then she lost her balance which made her be caught by Izuku.
"I gotta say, you're something else but didn't I tell you to be careful?" Izuku questioned the girl.
Nobara didn't say anything but only having a blush on her face but she then slapped Izuku across the face making him let go of her.
"Ow! Why?!" Izuku exclaimed whole holding the side of his face.
"Well you deserve it! And also, what have you been eating that lets you punch through a wall with your bare hands? some sort of quirk?!" Novara said while pointing at the wall that Izuku entered in, Izuku however simply rubbed his face to ease the pain.
"No, I'm 100% quirk less and plus it wasn't reinforced concrete."Izuku stated as if it wasn't a big deal.
" Even if it was, that'd still be impossible for most people!"She yelled out.
"...you mean...the ones without quirks?...honestly, you've been asking me plenty of questions, how about I say this, is there a reason why you came to Jujutsu High? Just want to know." Izuku said.
Nobara turned her back towards him until she gave him a look that made him feel something,"Because I'm from the country side, and I wanted to live in Tokyo!"
As soon as he heard that, he suddenly felt the feeling disappeared making him have a blank look towards this girl.
"This was the only way I could move to the big city without having to worry about money."
Izuiu was completely silent with a neutral look forming onto his face.
"And besides, so far as it goes, I'm kind of grateful to you too"
Saying this while she reaches to the Child's head while having a smile on her face, "There wouldn't have been a bright future if I had died or I had been the only one to survive. Thanks"
Izuku could only stare which made Nobara to look his way causing him to turn his head.
'oh~ it seems you're really interested towards that girl huh?'
'...maybe I am' Izuku thought with a slight smile on his face.
At the end of the day, the Child waves goodbye to the three teens and Gojo with the latter asking if they can grab some food with Nobara and Izuku agreeing while Fushiguro was seen scrolling through his phone.
With Nobara telling Izuku to fetch her stuff causing him to raise his eyebrows at her.
"Say what now?"
"Well consider this the request of a beautiful girl and since we won that battle because of my cursed energy. You got a problem with that?"
Izuku in fact got the problem with the way she was ordering him and so walk towards her with his face close to hers.
The proximity between almost felt non existent,"I ain't no ones delivery boy even if you're beautiful."
Once he said that, he walked away from the group with Nobara a bit flushed around her face with Fushiguro and Gojo watching Izuku walking away.
"Well now, we better follow him" Gojo said.
And with that, him along with his two students walked and try to reach the green haired young man.
----------------------------------------------------------
"Log Date, July xxxx, location West Musutafu, Musutafu Juvenile detention center. In the sky above the exercise yard, unnamed apparition of potential Special Grade.
Its cursed womb was witnessed by several non-jujutsu sorcerers.
Due to the emergency of the nature, three Jujutsu High first years were dispatched to the scene...and one died.
