________________________________________________________________________________

"A domain from an unknown source has been activated," a man wearing a suit explains as you stand in an empty street that'd been blocked off looking at a large black sphere standing were a mall once stood, "sorcerers are able to freely enter and leave the domain as they please however, all non-sorcerers that have entered have become trapped within. We've had our windows scour the area and move the non-sorcerers to a safe location in the mall, they encountered minimal retaliation from what was responsible for the domain."

"And you're sending in three first years to deal with it?" You ask not exactly thrilled with the idea of being trapped in a domain.

"You'll be fine, you're a semi-special grade. Besides, our windows reported that it seems to be a crude domain meaning it most likely belongs to a lesser curse spirit presumably grade 2 or lower. We also have Satoru and Suguru on standby if anything goes wrong."

"Relax little bro, you'll be fine," Gojo says wrapping an arm around your shoulders, "we won't let a hair on that ugly head of yours get hurt," he says grinning smugly and poking your cheek as you angrily cross your arms.

"Someone get him off of me before I kill him," you grumble angrily as Gojo continues messing with your cheek.

"Satoru," Geto says grabbing him by the back of his uniforms collar and pulling him off of you, "leave the first years alone."

"ugh, you're such a buzz kill," he breaks free of Geto's grasp and starts looking around, "isn't that Zenin guy supposed to be here?"

"You mean Naoya-sama?" Kusakabe asks.

"Yeah! That guy with the super speed," Gojo looks to the administrator, "where is he?"

"He was called on a last second mission that was deemed more important," thank god, better to not have a repeat of what happened at the exchange event, "now then, luckily we've already created a veil," the administrator says side eyeing Gojo, "so all you have to do is head in, save as many of the trapped non-sorcerers as possible, find the curse or sorcerer who constructed it, and finally exorcise or apprehend them."

"Great..." Kusakabe mutters nervously.

"Well, good luck little bro!" Gojo says slapping you on the back and pushing you closer to the edge of the barrier.

"You-!" You turn back to him angrily ready to lunge at him just to be stopped as Nanami yanks on your hood dragging you towards the barrier, "let me at him, let me at him!" You yell as you try to reach out towards Gojo.

"Kusakabe, come on," Nanami says continuing to drag you towards the barrier.

Kusakabe runs over to the two of you as your pulled through the barrier, Nanami dropping you the moment you cross it.

"So this is a domain," Nanami says curiously as he studies the scene in front of him.

"Just looks like a normal mall to me. Well, besides the floating chunks of debris," you quip as you stand up from the ground.

Infront of the three of you stands a large weathered building made of glass and steel as what were once it's walls and ceilings give way for trees and vines. Chunks suspended in midair in a circle around the mall a few of the pieces themselves even having trees and other plants growing out of them.

"Is it just me or does this place look way more rundown than normal?" Kusakabe asks still studying the building.

"Must be a part of the domain," You reply walking towards the entrance of the mall which had been replaced by a large hole in the wall.
