In a small looking apartment, we see Fushiguro standing in front of a women, this women being the mother of Okazaki Tadashi.
"By the time we arrived on the scene, your son was already dead."
As Fushiguro said that, the mother was shocked at the news.
"To be honest, I was skeptical about saving any of the people in there but my friend was different. He wasn't successful, but he tried to bring your son's body back for you after we confirmed his death."
He then pulls something inside a plastic sealed bag, "Take this, at least."
He hands the bag to the women.
"I'm sorry we weren't able to save Tadashi." Fushiguro said as he bows to the women.
"It's all right. Don't apologise. I'm the only one who will mourn his passing, anyway..." Mrs. Tadashi said as she breaks down in tears on the floor.
We then returned to the track field at Jujutsu High, where Nobara and Panda were racing each other across the field.
That was when Fushiguro arrived, "You're late, Megumi." Maki said.
"Kelp" Toge respond.
"What were doing that took you so long to get here?"
"What does that matter?"
This just made Maki to sigh and saying to forget about it that was until Fushiguro decided to ask Maki something, "What kinds of people do you want to save as a Jujutsu sorcerer?"
This got Maku confused but still answered Megumi's question, "It's not like I care if my actions save anyone."
As she finished that...all Megumi could was sigh, " I shouldn't have asked."
That little remark got Maki riled up but before she could even make an attempt to attack.
"Fushiguro!"
He heard his name being called as he saw Nobara being swirled around.
"Quit asking interview prep questions! Switch with me! I'm sick of these school uniforms! Let me go buy some cute tracksuits!" She says out loud having enough while Panda decided to do something,"Here we go!"
He says as He then throws Nobara up in the air which made her scream out.
This got Megumi to be confused on what on earth they were doing, "What are those two doing?"
Panda answered saying it's Falling practice.
"Mustard Leaf." Toge said.
"You're both weak in close quarters, after all." Panda spoke with Maku simply folding her arms.
"So first...Land a blow on us. We'll talk after that."
Megumi sighed but also nodded his head, "Looks like I have no choice...Let the hell commence."
Meanwhile inside of a secret room we see both Gojo and Izuku.
"You're a head above the rest when it comes to close combat, Izuku.
So what you need to learn right now is how to control your cursed energy, as well as the bare minimum of Jujutsu knowledge."
Izuku nods his head whole having a serious look on his face which caught the eyes of Gojo,"What's the matter?"
As Gojo asked, Izuku serious expression was gone, "Oh! It's just um... I figured you'd be the best person to train me, so I'm looking forward to it...and the fact is...I'm weak, and I couldn't save anybody. Worse, I nearly killed Fushiguro and my friends. As I am now, I won't be able to face them. I want to become strong so please...Teach me to be the strongest."
'What a load of bull I hear, And here I thought we had some sort of connection'
'We'll deal with our own training later, Ryoumen'
Gojo smiles at this, "You've got a keen eye...Alright then, first, take a look at those soda cans over there."
As Izuku heard that he turns his attention towards the fans that begun to get crushed in different ways, "This is with cursed energy, and this is with a cursed technique."
Izuku payed close attention, "Is it somehow like the cursed energy is electricity and cursed techniques is appliances?" Izuku asked with Gojo giving hin a thumbs up.
"You are correct! Electricity by itself is hard to use, right?. That's why we run electricity through appliances to achieve various results. With one of those cans, I fired off pure cursed energy. With the other can, I channeled cursed energy into a cursed technique to activate it and twist the can with Jujutsu."
"So what exactly are we gonna do? Am I gonna be learning a cursed technique?"
"No, you can't use cursed techniques."
As he heard that, he just nods his head as if he understood which he does, "It's because it's not within me since the day I was born right?"
"Right again, you're on fire, Setting aside Shikigami and barriers, cursed techniques are fundamentally etched into your body from the day you're born. So the power of a Jujutsu Sorcerer is roughly 80% innate talent."
Izuku sighed a bit but what does he expect, even though he saw the curses on his daily before getting involved with them and eating one of Sukuna's fingers.. it kinda made him wonder why exactly...did his parents had any involve with Jujutsu?....no that wouldn't be the case.
He thought as he sat on the ground with a thinking pose.
Gojo: You ok?
Izuku: Yeah...it's just that I have a long way to go if I even have a cursed technique or rather train myself to obtain it...so in the meantime I'll just do what I'm capable of and see where that waves takes me.
Gojo simply smiled, 'But it's the fact you can't use them yet.Eventually Sukuna's cursed Techniques will be engraved into your body.'
"Alright since you said you wanted to train what you can do...We're going to enhance your strengths. We'll get you to imbue your fighting style with cursed energy. I'm way more scared of someone who can force their way through with the basics than I am of inferior Jujutsu.
Izuku: Hmm?
Gojo: Like I just said, your talent for close combat is top-notch.
"...Yeah...I think I got the hang of it when I faced that special grade"
Gojo: Then give it a try.
When Izuku heard that Gojo simply raises his hand, "Hit me here. Not that you actually can."
All Izuku did was shrug his shoulders and read readies his fist and punches Gojo's hand.
...The Results?
"That didn't have any cursed energy behind it."
That made Izuki wonder why was that the case, "Ok then what's the reason on why their wasn't any cursed energy this time?"
"Negative emotions are the source of cursed energy. In the incident you're referring to, you were probably brimming with anger and fear."
"...And because of that you have to be constantly flipping out to use cursed energy? Now that you mention it, Fushiguro's always a bit snappy."
As that was said both Izuku and Gojo had an image of Chibi Fushiguro appears in their minds.
Fushiguro: Gyokuken!
Gojo simply waved off the cloud above them, "Not like that."
On the other side Fushiguro senses something.
Maki: What's the matter?
Fushiguro: I just got really irritated.
Maki: Huh?
Fushiguro: No, not at you.
Maki: There's only a month and a half until the exchange event, so no dawdling. Here, you can try the long one next.
She tosses to him a bō staff.
Fushiguro: This actually feels pretty good.
We cut back to Gojo, "Everyone's trained to produce cursed energy using the faintest sparks or emotion. They've also trained on how to not waste cursed energy when emotions are flaring, too. There are several methods to train this. I'll be having you use a pretty exhausting one."
This got Izuku curious, "And what will that be?"
With Sukuna being intrigued about this method as well.
...Gojo simply pulls out..a bunch of movies out of his pockets?
Izuku and Sukuna were both confused until Gojo said that Izuku will be watching movies.
'...What the actual Fuck
"I'm gonna be Watching movies?" Izuku said in confusion with Gojo simply nodding his head.
"That's right, Everything from Masterpieces to c-grade horror films to terrible French movies. You'll be watching them nonstop, as long as you're awake. Of course, you won't just be watching them."
'He can't be serious about this.'
'It looks like he is'
Gojo then pulls out a... doll?, "You'll be watching them with is guy."
Right now Sukuna was having a crisis on what he was seeing through the boys eyes, 'WHAT THE EVER LIVING-'
Izuku had to ignore the many curses that spewed out of the King of Curses as he had to focus on what Gojo jsur told him what he had to do.
"And what's the deal with...that" Izuku said while pointing at the doll.
"It's a cursed corpse the principal made."
When Gojo said that ,Izuku could only nod his head while fiddling with the doll, shaking it as well as holding his arms, "And? I don't understand what you're getting at here."
"Don't be hasty now. You'll see soon."
As soon as Gojo said that the bubble on the corpse pops and sucker punches Izuku...key word for this....'tries' to sucker punch Izuku with the boy blocking the punch and slamming the curse doll on the ground while having an annoyed look on his face.
"That cursed corpse will wake up and attack you, just like that, if you don't keep pouring a set amount of cursed energy into it."
"Yeah I kind of guessed" Izuku said while still glaring at the Cursed doll that got up and ging into a fighting pose for a few seconds and then went to sleep causing Izuku to sweatdrop.
"Like I said, we have all kinds of movies available here.Heart-throbbers, thrillers, exciting ones, ones that will make you cry, laugh, or feel disgusted.
Your first goal is to watch an entire movie, from start to finish without waking the cursed corpse. This trains you to make a steady output of cursed energy, no matter what emotions you feel. You can't use too much or too little."
He then picks up the corpse and starts flowing cursed energy into it, "I have it set to the faint level of cursed energy you can produce right now, but it'll steadily start demanding greater output, so don't let your guard down."
Izuku simply sighed but his eyes were set on something that intrigued him....with Sukuna on the other hand....
'Dear Curse of the Damned....One was enough!!'
Izuku just eye twitched bit calmed down a bit, "I couldn't even let it down even if I wanted too but by the way Gojo-sensei."
This got Gojo to look at his direction with Izuku pointing at something, "Who's that little girl that's been standing behind you?"
As Izuku said that, Gojo simply looked down as the little girl tried to be smaller which got Gojo to chuckle as he lift her up into his arms, "This little one...She's my daughter."
"...Say what?"
That's all Izuku while Sukuna was foaming from the mouth until Gojo just laughed a bit, "Relax, I'm only kidding, Her name is Eri."
"...Just Eri? What about her last name?"
When Izuku Izuku that, Eri herself shaked a bit with Gojo calming her down, "The details of her real family are unknown even too us. We found her running away from something one day and decided to take her with us."
'Wow...Talk about not caring about authority'
"That's literally kidnapping" Izuku said it with a blank look.
"True but she didn't really wanna let go of me since I was the one who in her own words saved her from the bad people...so I decided to let her stay with me or Shoko and help her as best as we can"
As Gojo finished what he said...Izuku couldn't help but feel touched from Gojo's words as he went and approached the little girl, "Hi Eri, My names Izuku it's nice to meet you"
As Izuku said that, Eri placed her head on Gojo's shoulders with the latter simply patting her head, "Huh? Sorry about that Izuku, she's not screwed of you it's just that she's a bit shy around new people, so don't worry I'm sure she'll come around"
Izuku nodded not that upset.
'Kid don't believe what he said that girl is definitely his daughter!'
'What makes you say that?'
'...A hunch'
'...The Fuck?'
Izuku just sighed while giving his attention to Gojo, "Now, back at picking the movie, what do you want to start with?"
Gojo said while he picks up a DVD case, "I recommend this one. The heroine's annoying, but she dies spectacularly in the end."
"And for that you just spoiled the movie for me...oh! What about we start off with an action-"
But before he could finish The cursed corpse wakes up and tries punch Izuku, who caught the fist in time with growl and throws the corpse on the ground.
"Hey, even if you're irritated, keep the cursed energy steady."
Gojo said with Izuku sighing and understanding...but he doesn't want to get punched.
"D-Don't worry Mister Izuku."
Izuku heard this while he stared ahead and looked at Eri, "I-I know you can do it."
She says while patting Izuku on the knees which got him to be at her level with a smile on his face.
"Thanks little one" Izuku said which resulted in him getting promptly punched in the face by the cursed corpse.
Right now we see Fushiguro and the rest of the gang.
"Carrying cursed tools huh? I agree with supplementing my close combat with weapons, but with my cursed technique, I want to be able to free up both hands at any time. With swords, you lose time sheathing them.
Zen'in-senpai, you often carry more than two around with you, right?
How do you do that?" Fushiguro asked Maki who simply shrugged her shoulders.
"Simple... I make Panda carry them." She says in a dramatic way with Panda, who was seen getting up and flexing.
Fushiguro mentallyhad a blank look on his face, 'I shouldn't have asked, part two' Fushiguro thought.
"Some sorcerers keep cursed spirits that can store and retrieve objects." Panda stated.
"He can't do that. It's a rare thing and it takes time to tame them, as well but if you find any, let me know." Maki said.
"A years supply of Calpas." Panda said.
Meanwhile Fushiguro thinks about the words Sukuna said to him.
"I don't get it, though.
Why did you run back then?
What a waste of talent."
Fushiguro could only be confused, 'I have the potential to beat special-grades? Is that what he meant by that?'
He thought as he touches the ground and his fingers start to seep into the ground.
Toge points at this, "Tuna, tuna."
Maki: Huh? What?
Fushiguro: Senpai. I think I can do it.
Not all the group was with Fushiguro as we see Nobara standing around at the shopping district.
Nobara: Ura-Hara! Where's Ura-Hara?! Underground?!
We cut back to Izuku laying on the couch as he was watching a movie in order to control his cursed energy flow.
???: Do I cut the red wire, or the blue wire?
??? 2: You know, in the area where I use to live, the designated trash bags...
???: Hey, what are you going on about right now?
??? 2: Were red for plastic trash and blue for combustible trash. I always thought, shouldn't it be the opposite?
It should be red! Anyone would go with red!
???: I'll trust you.
----------------------------------------------------------
Izuku was busy drinking his soda can intensely as the scene plays out.
Unfortunately for him, he was promptly punched in the face by the cursed corpse but Izuku caught it at the last minute, "Don't do that while I'm drinking soda!"
Izuku said while Eri was sitting next to him, watching the movie while having her own drink and snack to enjoy.
'...what kind of movie is this?'
'It's not about understanding them ivie but to enjoy it, Ryomen'
'Well this is just stupid but remember we still need to train, tell me when your little marathon is over so that I can torture you'
Sukuna said as he cut off the communication link between the two that was when Gojo decided to join in, "Don't drink it, then." Gojo said when he saw the interaction between Izuku and the cursed doll.
"But you gotta have chips and soda when watching movies at home! Look at Eri, she's doing the same thing so you can't deny it!" Izuku said while pointing at Eri who was still fixated what was on the screen.
Gojo couldn't help but nod his head, "That's true." He said as he walks towards Izuku to get the boys attention while still focusing on his cursed energy.
"Alright then, I have some business to deal with so just keeping hanging in there." Gojo said with Izuku nodding his head but he did in fact had a question, "Will this really make me stronger?" he asked Gojo who just laughed.
"If Eri can get string then so can you" when Izuku heard that, his eyes travelled to the young girl who was now focusing on Gojo who just patted her head, "Eri herself did the same training you're doing now and because of that, her cursed energy rose significantly."
Gojo finished with Izuku being amazed, "Wow that's amazing...wait...that means...I'm weaker than her?"
Izuku said with downcasted look...and this was owen he heard laughter.
'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHANAHAHHANAHAHAHAJAJAH OH OH MAN OH CURSE OF THE DAMNED YOU REALLY ARE PATHETIC FOR A HOST!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJJAJAJAJ"
Sukuna said as he was seen laughing on his throne with tears pouring out from his eyes with Izuku sighing internally with Eri just rubbing his head.
"You can be stronger, I believe in you" Eri said this to encourage the young man, who laughed but that caused the cursed corpse to send a punch his way but Izuku stopped it.
Gojo then starts walking away, "Oh, right. Did you talk with Sukuna while you were dead?" Gojo asked Izuku sho was busy avoiding the punches as much as he can with Eri cheering the boy on,Izuku then look at Gojo, "Talk?"
"When he fixed your heart, did he propose any conditions or contracts?" Gojo asked with Izuku had a thinking pose, "huh...oh! I think we did talk about something...but I can't remember what it was." Izuku finished but in fact he does know...it's just that he doesn't want to say...for reasons.
"I see" Gojo said as he waved goodbye to Eri and Izuku.
Izuku couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable to lie to his teacher...but he wanted to do this on his own...until he was ready to say everything.
'Hey Sukuna...how about you tell more of your technique while I also focus on increasing my cursed energy' Izuku said towards Sukuna whi simply chuckled.
'Get ready for a ton of history ya Brat'
We then turn our Attention to Gojo and Ijichi driving a car to meet with Principal Yaga.
"We have a bit of time before your appointment with the principal. Did you want to stop anywhere?" Ijichi asked Gojo.
"No, it's fine. I'll show up early for a change but there is something I would like you to do Ijichi."
Gojo said towards Ijichi who wondered on what Gojo wanted, "I want you to look for anything on Izuku."
Ijichi: Huh? What brought this on?
Gojo: Just wanted to check something.
Ijichi: Anything specifically?
Gojo: Family relations, or more or less who his blood parents are besides Inko Midoriya...I just want to know that's all"
Gojo finished as he continues to stare outside the window, but stops his smile, "Stop the car."
Ijichi: Huh? Right here?
The car stops and Gojo exits it, "Go on ahead" Gojo said which got Ijichi confused.
Ijichi: Huh? A-Are you testing me?
You're not going to hit me if I actually go on ahead, are you?
Gojo: Just what do you think I am?
Ijichi: In that case...
He drives off, leaving Gojo behind. He simply stares at the road, calm and collected, "Alright then...Now"
As soon as Gojo said that from above, a fiercening screech was heard, as the curse known as Jogo attacks Gojo.
Gojo simply jumps out of the way effortlessly.
"Who are you?" Gojo simply said.
Meanwhile we see Izuku inside his subconscious as both him and Ryomen were seen fighting each other.
"Come on! Put your back into it!" Sukuna yelled out as Izuku ducked down to avoid a fist that was close to his midsection and did a quick punch to Sukuna's gut that pushed him back.
Sukuna chuckled as he saw a slight glow from Izuku's hand that almost changed in color as he felt the impact from his gut.
'Interesting...not only do you want to learn my curse technique...but your close to using 'that' attack...Izuku Midoriya...just what are you that's making me so incredibly intrigued!!'
