His Priye ||Gojo Satoru x OC||

Chapter 20

3rd pov:

They arrived at an abandoned building where malevolent curse energy seeped from every nook and cranny. Megumi immediately sensed it and remarked, "There's a curse here."

Frustration boiled within Yuji and Nobara as they realized Satoru had deceived them about Roppongi. They voiced their discontent in unison. Stuti, trying to stifle her laughter but failing miserably, joined in. She couldn't help but find this amusing.

"Pffft-"

The pink-haired boy added, "This isn't even Roppongi!"

"You were toying with us country folk!" Nobara accused, clearly not pleased.

Despite their disappointment, Yuji was still curious and asked, "So, they really do pop up more often around graves?"

Nobara, on the other hand, was still venting her frustration. "Who does he think is responsible for the rice he has to eat, huh?!"

Fushiguro decided to clarify, "The issue isn't the cemetery itself. It's the fact that people associate cemeteries with fear."

"Oh, it was the same for schools, too, wasn't it?"

Aghast, Nobara said, "Hold up. He didn't even know that yet?"

"He swallowed a special-grade cursed object." Fushiguro pointed out.

"He swallowed a special-grade cursed object?!" Nobara exclaimed and promptly walked away, her hands crossed in an X as she ranted, "Gross! Unbelievable! That's so unsanitary and disgusting! No way! No way! No way! No way!"

Yuji felt the need for support. "What?!"

Satoru then revealed the day's mission. "I want to know what all of you are capable of. Just think of this as a field test."

Satoru assigned Nobara and Yuji the task of exorcising the curse within the building. Yuji initially protested, saying he couldn't exorcise curses yet, but Satoru reassured him that he could because of the cursed energy flowing throughout his body. To help, he handed Yuji a cursed weapon called Slaughter Demon, which was imbued with cursed energy and effective against curses.

Nobara, despite her initial reluctance, put on the cursed tool and proceeded towards the building with Yuji. However, she stopped briefly to hear Satoru's final warning. "Oh, one more thing. Don't let Sukuna out. If you use him, you'll get rid of all the curses nearby in a flash, but you'll also drag everyone around into it."

Yuji acknowledged with a thumbs up, "Got it. I won't let Sukuna out."

Satoru urged them to hurry, and the two students entered the ominous building. Nobara walked in confidently, while Yuji sneaked about, opening doors in search of the curse.

Watching them, Megumi decided, "I think I'll go too."

"Don't push yourself. Your still recovering." Satoru said

Yuji was left standing there, a bit bewildered by Nobara's sudden and forceful actions. Nevertheless, he trusted her judgment and decided to follow her orders. Reluctantly, he headed downstairs while Nobara made her way upstairs.

As Yuji descended the darkened stairwell, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about Nobara's behavior. They were supposed to be a team, but her orders had been quite curt. He was about to call out to her, to ask her what was wrong, when it happened.

From above, a cursed spirit lunged at him. It descended with malevolent speed, but Yuji's instincts and jujutsu training kicked in. He barely had time to unsheathe his cursed tool, but that was all he needed. With a swift and practiced motion, he swung the weapon, slicing through the spirit's form.
