"Divine Dogs!"
Itadori was startled when the head of a black wolf suddenly emerged from a shadow at his feet, instinctively moving just in time to escape a bite.
But as he seemed to retreat, he felt trapped as something coiled around his ankles, his gaze shifting to see the tongues of several frogs holding him in place.
"Damn."
Grinning nervously, he quickly raised his defenses when he noticed a shadow hovering over his body, a powerful impact striking him and sending him across the training field.
"Nue!"
It had been a few weeks since he had been actively training every day. Initially, he mainly trained his combat skills with Maki, but it didn't take long for Megumi and the other students to join him.
Nobara was a bit lazy but had a great sense of combat and could even match someone like Panda. Thanks to daily practice, she eventually managed to unleash a Black Flash during a combat training session.
It was quite painful, especially for Yuji, who was the one training with her at that time. Taking a full Black Flash was anything but pleasant.
But by far, the person Itadori was most excited to train with was Megumi. He had many ideas regarding Megumi's shadow technique, mainly because his friend at the space station was a fan and loved discussing his powers.
His friend also strangely had an obsessive fandom for Kirara, so he had great knowledge of the... girl?
Well, that didn't matter in the end; Itadori wasn't one to judge.
Feeling the electricity resonating through his body, Itadori gritted his teeth as he threw a rock toward Megumi, who dodged while forming hand signs again.
He didn't hold back and gave all the suggestions he had in mind.
The Ten Shadows Technique was an interesting innate technique and quite versatile. It certainly had tremendous potential, but there was one problem.
And that was Megumi himself.
As cruel as it sounded, it was, in fact, true. Megumi limited his own technique, using it in a very... literal way.
Itadori noticed this and decided to help Megumi with it.
He knew that to change the fate of this world, he alone would not be enough. He wasn't omnipotent, and besides, a month was far from enough time for him to get strong enough.
The world of Jujutsu Kaisen was far from a kind one.
Even with monstrous talent and powerful determination, he alone would not be able to face Kenjaku, Mahito, and Jogo all at once.
God knows he would if he could.
That's why he needed his companions to get stronger, so the power gap between them wouldn't be so glaring.
!
Opening his eyes when he felt his feet sinking, Itadori quickly turned and punched, his fist hitting the head of a black wolf directly, dissipating it into shadows.
With this goal in mind, he helped Megumi train his abilities.
And his tips changed the way the boy used his shadows.
The Ten Shadows Technique essentially involves using shadows as a means to summon shikigami.
If destroyed, Megumi became unable to use them again... but then, what was the need to summon them fully?
Summoning them fully, the Shikigami were prone to being destroyed if they faced a greater force.
But summoning them partially, keeping them still in their shadow forms, what would happen?
"Divine Dog!"
After punching, Itadori widened his eyes when another shadow emerged beside him, his grin growing when the wolf's head formed again, its mouth opening to bite.
Itadori stopped it from biting, grabbing its jaw and keeping its mouth open.
!
But as he seemed ready to retreat, the wolf dissolved, the shadow falling to the ground, only to reveal a shoe emerging from within it, a kick hitting the boy's face directly.
The answer to the previous question was: They weren't destroyed, just returning to their shadow state.
Beyond this capability, maintaining a partial summoning opened up many possibilities.
Shaping, transforming, exchanging.
This was the true control of shadows.
Retreating quickly, Itadori watched Megumi sink into the shadows, his eyes narrowing as he prepared.
And observing a shadow forming in front of him, he soon realized it would be another wolf.
But as he seemed ready to attack the wolf, his eyes widened when the shadow changed before his eyes, transforming into a fully formed Nue.
And with the distance between them closing, he realized.
'I won't be able to dodge.'
!
The Shikigami's wing hit him directly, electricity coursing through his body and making his muscles tremble.
'Indeed, with this new way of fighting, Megumi has become a danger.'
With shadows emerging behind Itadori, Megumi appeared, ready to strike.
'But there's a problem...'
Surprising the dark sorcerer, a fist appeared before his eyes, hitting his face directly and sending his body across the field, his back hitting the ground and forcing him to use his fingers to stop his momentum.
"The offensive power of your Shikigami is nothing special; you need to find a way to improve that." Itadori wiped the bloodstain from his lips, approaching a struggling-to-rise Megumi. "But you've improved a lot; your fighting style is much more lethal. I was caught off guard several times."
Offering a hand, Megumi promptly took it, getting up with some difficulty.
"But still, I couldn't beat you." He seemed disheartened, and Itadori could understand that. At least, that's how he felt when training with Gojo.
"Even so, your improvement is undeniable."
Nodding, Megumi managed a smile. Even though he couldn't defeat Itadori, he was still satisfied with his results. He couldn't deny that thanks to the boy, he had broken out of his stagnation with the use of his cursed technique.
"Hey, are you guys done?"
Turning when they heard a new voice, they noticed a smiling Maki walking toward them.
"Now it's my turn! Let's train, Itadori!" The girl threw a wooden sword toward Yuji, the boy promptly catching it.
"Damn, you're really addicted to this, aren't you?" Itadori asked, noticing that the sun was starting to set.
"What can I say?" With a toothy grin, the girl prepared herself.
Megumi, seeing the interaction between the two, just walked away toward the dorms. "I'm going to take a shower."

_______________________________________________________________________________
Itadori felt an impact hit his arm, but he didn't seem fazed by it as he simply counterattacked with a swing of his wooden sword.
Maki, prepared for this, promptly blocked, moving back with a push of her legs.
Itadori Yuji was, in Maki's eyes, certainly someone fun.
They both shared the desire to gain strength, and even though neither of them knew the reason behind this desire, they respected each other.
That's why she was so excited to train with him.
Because by wielding their swords, they could understand...
They could understand each other's desperation.
!
With her wrist struck, Maki's sword flew away. The woman growled at this, but she didn't give up, using a precise kick to push Itadori back far enough for her to run and catch the sword in midair.
But she was surprised when, upon turning around, she had to raise her sword to avoid being struck.
Even though they respected each other, Maki couldn't help but feel a little envious.
She, who fought against her clan, was born without talent, endowed only with a decent physique that any sorcerer could achieve by enhancing their body with cursed energy.
But Itadori, in front of her, was the definition of the word "talent."
He had dived headfirst into the world of sorcerers and curses less than four months ago, and yet, he had shown monstrous talent, being able to surpass someone like Megumi.
But his abilities with cursed energy weren't the only things that set him apart; his combat intelligence and abnormal physique did as well.
It took him no more than a week to handle a sword adequately, which was impressive.
And with his physique, he was able to match her, who had trained with swords since she was young.
This made her feel a little... defeated.
"Hey, Maki." But while she seemed lost in her mind, she quickly abandoned her thoughts when she raised her sword to block an attack, her attention turning forward when Itadori called her. "Can I ask you something?"
Naturally, as if he wasn't even in a fight, he asked, skillfully moving back to avoid a low kick.
Maki growled but didn't ignore his question while staying on guard. "Ask."
!
Attacking her defense, Itadori initiated a power struggle, quickly overpowering her and pushing her back. "Why did you decide to become a Jujutsu sorcerer?"
Maki was surprised by the question, but she didn't get distracted, promptly guiding one of his attacks to the ground, creating an opening to strike him with a full-force elbow.
Itadori felt his nose crack, but he didn't flinch, using the close distance between them to grab her arm and throw her away.
"Damn... Did that question upset you that much?" He joked, a small smile on his lips as he wiped a drop of blood from his nose.
"Well, it's not my fault you let your guard down." With a mocking smile, she got ready again. "Well, to answer your question..."
!
Seeing her burst toward him, Itadori raised his sword just in time to block an attack, his instincts kicking in as he caught her foot at the last second, preventing her from kicking him in the stomach.
Taking advantage of this, he attacked with his fist, his eyes widening in surprise when she let herself fall, pulling him to the ground and holding his head with her legs.
'Is this turning into an MMA fight?'
Feeling her thighs tighten around his neck, Itadori nervously smiled as he tried to push her legs away with his hands. 'She has more physical strength than Megumi.'
Feeling the grip on his neck loosen, he barely reacted when a knee hit his jaw, his body rolling to the side before he got up.
"I want to become a sorcerer to prove to those idiots in my clan that they were wrong..." Getting up, the girl changed her expression for a moment, as if thinking about her next words. "No, I can't say that's why... I just want to become a Grade 1 sorcerer as a way to disrespect that clan of old fools."
Itadori nodded, understanding what she meant.
He knew about Maki's situation and the Zenin clan, but he wanted to hear from her what her goals were in becoming a sorcerer.
He could respect her for that, after all, she was born without talent and was completely disrespected in her clan, seen only as the future wife of some random idiot.
But she didn't accept that fate and decided to carve her own path.
In this, he and she were very similar. Itadori, like her, had decided to shape his own destiny.
He wouldn't be a tool, not like the original Itadori was supposed to be. He would crush anyone who said otherwise, just as Maki would do to anyone who tried to stop her from proving her worth.
Itadori recognized Maki's strength.
"I understand..." Lowering his sword, he smiled, a small smile full of admiration that she could notice. "Well, if you need help with your clan, don't forget about us.
We're sorcerers, but before that, we're comrades. We don't have to solve everything alone."
Turning around, he put his wooden sword in a holder.
"Hey, where are you going?" The girl watched him hide his hands in his coat pockets, walking towards the dorms.
"I'm going to take a shower; maybe you didn't notice, but the sun has already set." He pointed to the dark sky, making the girl blink in recognition. "We can train again tomorrow. With that said, goodnight."
Walking away with a wave of farewell, he headed down one of the corridors, leaving a Maki staring at his back with a distant look.
"..."
After a few seconds, the girl just sighed, a small glint appearing in her eyes as she walked away from the training field. "Idiot..."
.
Walking through the corridors, Itadori was startled when he felt his arm suddenly pulled, his eyes hit by a bright light before he recognized that he had been taken into a room.
"Hey, I thought you two would never stop training."
Itadori blinked upon hearing the voice, lowering his head to find a Nobara staring at him while Megumi sat in a corner of the room with a book in hand.
"Huh? What's this?" He looked confused for a moment.
"Movie night." But surprising him, Megumi was the one who answered, Nobara nodding with a satisfied smile.
"..."
Itadori watched them in silence before just sighing as he sat down.
"What are you guys? Two kids?"
"Says the lovesick teenager."
"It's just training."
"Sure."
Itadori rolled his eyes at the girl's antics, his attention turning to Megumi.
"By the way, what are you reading?"
Megumi didn't immediately respond, his eyes moving up for a moment. "Twilight."
Itadori choked, barely noticing Nobara holding back laughter behind him.
"So that's where you get that demeanor of yours!"
"I said the same thing!"
Megumi felt a vein pop on his forehead... Seeing the two laughing uncontrollably, he felt a strange urge to perform an exorcism right there.
'Damn, I thought it was odd that Gojo Sensei was laughing when he recommended it.'
