7- Assault

The curse throws something at Satoru as a volcanic lump appears in the wall next to Kuina. Satoru grabs Kuina and throws him to his side as the volcanic lump shoots out a large stream of fire at the two of them, setting fire to the three in the forest below them, a large cloud of smoke following the attack of fire.

"That was easier than I expected" Jogo, the cursed spirit says with a chuckle as he stands in the centre of the crater than the impact of his landing had previously created.

Through the smoke, Jogo manages to make out the silhouette's of two people. The smoke clears and reveals Kuina and Satoru completely unaffected by the cursed spirit's attack.

"Did you just use your telekinesis to protect me, Xavier?" Kuina asks as she looks down at her pendant.

Xavier remains silent as the blue jewel containing the special grade demon just glows, showing that Xavier had used his cursed technique from within the pendant.

"Who are you calling easy?" Satoru asks as he steps out of the fire that continues to surround him as it slowly burns away.

"Brats" Jogo complains as he twiddles with his ear slightly, twisting it back and forth like you would in order to tune a radio.

He's a cursed spirit but he can communicate clearly. And the sheer amount of cursed energy... an unregistered special grade? He's likely stronger than Sukuna is now.

Satoru asks himself as he looks over at Kuina who sensed the presence of multiple special grade spirits earlier.

"Special grades are classified as such because they're special. Having them pop up this frequently throws everything off" Satoru says as he stands slightly in front of his younger sister.

"Did I wound your pride?" Jogo asks with a chuckle as he holds out one arm in front of him.

"Nope. I'm staring to find this fun" Satoru says as he cracks his knuckles with a devilish smile plastered on his face.

"Finding this fun, you say?" Jogo says as something jumps from the volcanic lump on top of his head, upwards into the air before falling back down into the lump, small particles of magna splashing over the top of the lump, on his head, "no sense of danger at all".

He chose a place devoid of people? And he doesn't seem to be targeting Kuina, only me. He was trying to avoid other sorcerer's coming to back me up, but Kuina is here, that's thrown him off slightly. With Kuina's incredible ability to sense the grade of cursed spirits before she can see them, I now know he was going to try and sneak attack me with other cursed spirits.

Satoru tells himself as a bunch of small flies appear from out of the lump on the cursed spirits head as they hover around him.

"Ember Insects" Jogo calls out as the insects fly towards the two of them.

"Well, if you're coming after me, you're right..." Satoru says as he looks at the oncoming insects, "about having no sense of danger".

Satoru grabs Kuina's hand as he holds up a hand, pointing two fingers upwards as the flies completely stop in front of them.

"What happens if I touch these?" Satoru asks as he looks past the insects at Jogo.

Kuina hears something from the insects as they start to explode, Satoru hitting Kuina backwards.

"A two-staged attack of sound and explosions?" Satoru asks as he stands on top of the small cliff edge as the side of Jogo and Kuina, "that's clever".

Jogo disappears from in front of Kuina and appears next to Satoru as he runs straight for him as he throws a large amount of fire straight at Satoru's head as his head catches on fire. Kuina watches as Jogo looks down at her, expecting to see a face full of anguish, pain and upset, only to see her stood there watching the whole thing like it's a movie. Jogo sweeps around the other side of Satoru as he slams his hand into his lower back, throwing a bunch of cursed energy at him, fire breaking up all of the ground as Kuina jumps upwards in order to avoid the attack.

"That's all it took?" Jogo asks as he jumps down to Kuina who stands there, "I took a look for myself, and it was just an overestimation by the weak. That human was just as fragile as the rest. He wasn't living a life of truth. It's all so nauseatingly repulsive. I'm going to go spread real strength, the truth, through death. Starting with you young girl".

"You can try your very hardest. But the special grade demon who currently resides in my pendant seems adamant on keeping me safe, sound and alive, so have fun dealing with him" Kuina says as she looks at the special grade spirit that walks towards her.

"What ridiculous drivel. Did you parents ever teach you not to lie?" Jogo asks as the two of them stand face to face.

"No they did. So I lie, a lot. But this time, I'm trying to the truth. But please, try what you want to. I'll enjoy the show of you getting your ass handed to you on a silver platter" Kuina says as she folds her arms.

"We just went over this a moment ago" Satoru says from behind Jogo, "can't you even learn? Ugh, this smoke...".

"What's the meaning of this?" Jogo asks as he turns around to look at Satoru who wafts the smoke out of the way of his face.

"To put it simply, you didn't hit me" Satoru says as he stands there.

"Impossible. That attack wasn't like before" Jogo says as he tries to defend his skill, "I know I touched and killed you".

"You touched the 'Infinity' that exists in between you and I" Satoru explains as he stands there with his hands in his pockets, "I'll show you" Satoru says as he pulls a hand from his pocket and holds it in front of him, "put your hand out. Come on, come on. Come on, come on, come on".

No hostility? I guess I'll see what it's about.

Jogo says as he walks over to Satoru and he holds his hand out to touch him, but he can't.

"See?" Satoru says as he points to the gap between the two of their hands.

I can't touch him. It stops just before him. This is Infinity?

Jogo tells himself in disbelief.

"You're not exactly stopped, but the closer you get, the slower you go" Satoru explains.

"'Infinity' is the reason I couldn't win any fights against Satoru when he trained me" Kuina says as she walks over to the two of them.

"So, what now? We could just shake hands like this, you know" Satoru says as he interlocks his fingers with Jogo's.

"I refuse" Jogo says as he tries to pull his hand away.

"Don't be shy now" Satoru says as he teases the cursed spirit, "you're making me embarrassed too".

"Damn you!" Jogo yells as Satoru slams his hand into his stomach, making him cough up some blood.

"There's still more" Satoru says as he kicks Jogo into the sky as he kind of just hovers, "infinity exists everywhere. My jujutsu just brings it forward into reality. Convergence, divergence... what do you think happens when one touches this void? Cursed technique reversal: red".

A large amount of energy hits Jogo as it forces him into a clearing in the woods below them.

"Oi, I'm gonna go find the other two special grades. I'll bring em down to you once I find em" Kuina says as she looks at Satoru.

"Fine by me. Don't die" Satoru says as Kuina runs off.

"Don't think I could even if I wanted to" Kuina says as she jumps into the air.

Kuina spots two figures standing on the cliff below her as they observe the scene between Jogo and Satoru.

"Oi, I can see you" Kuina says as she lands next to the one cursed spirit she sees there as she throws some chains towards the cursed spirit as the chains wrap around the spirit, "I wouldn't struggle too much. These chains will burn straight through you skin".

Kuina watches as the cursed spirit wriggles, the chains not doing much.

"Oh I forgot, how silly of me. You're a special grade" Kuina says as she clicks her fingers, the chain's starting to burn the curse as it screams in pain, "now you".

Kuina turns her attention to the person who continues to look down at the scene below, not too bothered by the turn events which are happening next to them.

"Oi, I'm talking to you, you know?" Kuina says as she walks closer to the person.

"Oh I am fully aware that you, Kuina Gojo" the man says as he turns around to reveal his face, "it's been a long time has it not?".

"How the hell are you...?" Kuina asks in shock at the man before her, Suguru Geto.

"Alive? After you murdered me last year? Well that's a secret dear Kuina. How have you been? You've grown to be quite the jujutsu sorcerer" Suguru says as he turns to look at her, "do you still want to live the rest of your life out as a monkey or have you decided to make the smart choice".

"You telling me you were going to murder me because I wanted to be mundane hasn't shook me at all, I still want to be a mundane" Kuina says with a smirk, "you gonna kill me now that I'm in your presence".

"I would, but the time isn't right yet" Suguru says as he starts to walk off, "don't tell Satoru I was here for me please? Don't want to ruin the huge surprise that I'm planning. Oh look. There he goes, using that domain expansion that he always does. Hanami, go help Jogo. Only if you want to of course".

Kuina turns around as she realises that the cursed spirit as managed to slip through her chains. The curse wraps its vines around Kuina as it shoots upwards, jumping down into the field where Satoru, Jogo and now Yuji all are. The curse lands, bring Kuina with it as it sets off some flowers, getting rid of both Satoru and Yuji's will to fight. Kuina grabs her knife from her boot as she slices through the vines.

"Wow!" Satoru exclaims in awe.

"Flowers!" Yuji says happily.

"Pretty!" Satoru compliments.

Kuina runs to Satoru and punches him to snap him out of it before she goes to Yuji and slaps him.

That is a curse right? It's stripping away my will to fight.

Satoru says as Kuina stands in between him and Yuji.

"Why did you punch me but you only slapped him?" Satoru asks as he looks at Kuina.

"Needed to snap you out of it somehow. Plus there's more layers of stupidity to carve through in you than there is in Yuji" Kuina says as she shrugs.

The curse snakes some vines around Yuji's ankle as it pulls him up into the air. Kuina and Satoru turn and watch Yuji and as the curse takes off with what remains of Jogo.

"Sensei I'll be fine. Just go after those two" Yuji says as he's drawn through the air.

Yuji looks down as he sees that some kind of tree monster is about to eat him as he's drawn towards it.

"I'm sorry, I lied, help!" Yuji yells as Kuina jumps upwards and grabs Yuji, cutting the vines as the two of them land.

"Wow" Satoru says as Kuina and Yuji come over.

They got away. He's good at hiding his presence. He's way creepier than volcano head.

Satoru says as he looks at Kuina.

"Did you get rid of the third one?" Satoru asks.

Should I tell him about Suguru? No, I can't. He'd be broken. I'll tell him... but when the time's right.

Kuina says as she thinks to herself.

"I miscalculated. It was only two" Kuina says as Satoru nods.

"I'm sorry about that" Yuji says as he kneels down, his head to the ground, one palm raised to the sky, "they managed to escape because of me. Though, you're the one who brought me here".

"So cursed spirits of that level are forming factions now?" Satoru says as he puts a finger to his chin, "this is getting interested. Yuji" Satoru says as he turns around, "I want you and Kuina, or rather, everyone, to become strong enough to defeat that".

"Huh? Beat that?" Yuji asks as he thinks back on Jogo's power.

"It's better to have a concrete goal right?" Satoru says as he taps the side of his head, "man, I'm glad I brought you here".

"I had no idea what was going on though" Yuji says as he sits there blankly.

"Now that we've set our goal, all that's left is to pursue it" Satoru says as he comes over to Yuji, "we'll speed up the schedule a little bit. For the next month, you'll be watching movies and fighting Kuina and I".

"Fighting you and Kuina?" Yuji questions worriedly, "will I still be alive a month from now?".

"After that it'll be practical combat" Satoru says as Kuina looks at Satoru excitedly.

"Oh Yuji you're gonna love practical combat. Satoru gets some of the best sorcerer's in the game to come and train us out in the field" Kuina says excitedly, remembering her own training.

"Once you've learnt new skills and been on tougher mission, you'll show off your skills at the school exchange event" Satoru announces.

"Hey, sensei!" Yuji says as he puts his hand up.

"Yes, Yuji!" Satoru says as he points at Yuji.

"What's the school exchange event?" Yuji asks as he tilts his head.

"I didn't tell you?" Satoru asks as he realises he's gotten way too ahead of himself.
