章 2: Meeting the Others
The three were surprised as they finally got a look on his bloodied face, before nodding seriously as they looked forward.
Yuta had a relaxed expression as he recognized some of them from his memories, 'If I'm right, they should be Mahito, Jogo, Choso, and the most dangerous one is...' His gaze ended on Kenjaku's still figure, noticing his power.
...
..
But his expression never changed as Yuta suddenly flicked his wrist which was holding his sword, causing it to launch forward at blinding speeds.
Ching!
"What the-"
Mahito's words were cut off as he could only gape as a sword was suddenly lodged into his forehead.
He didn't even have time to react as Yuta abruptly appeared in front of him in a jumping motion as he swiftly pulled out the blade.
Shhhh!
Blood poured out from Mahito's stunned face as he fell backwards with a fountain of blood in his wake.
Yuta then with no hesitation lunged toward Choso's shocked figure who attempted to back up, but it was of to no avail.
A sword came slashing down, as it cleaved him across diagonally.
Blood splashed out from Choso's chest wound as he tumbled back painfully.
"Woah!-"
Yuta snidely remarked as a mini volcano appeared below him, causing him to do a swift backflip.
He watched as a powerful stream of lava exploded upwards from his previous location as he casually landed on the ground and looked forward.
Kenjaku seemed to have an unamused expression, clearly not happy with the situation, while Jogo had his hands raised cautiously from his previous attack.
Yuta then looked toward Choso's hunched-over figure who stood up slowly, "Not bad, you dodged a fatal blow."
Choso silently grunted in pain as he stood up straight.
Yuta's gaze then landed upon Mahito's limp figure as he scoffed with a shake of his head, "Do you think I'll fall for that?"
After a few seconds, Mahito's body instantly stood back up with a laugh as his head injury was seemingly gone, "Haha! I thought I'd totally catch you off guard, but it seems you caught on, not bad."
Yuta's nonchalant eyes continued to roam across the four individuals in front of him, 'Mahito can easily be overpowered, but he can only be defeated by an attack to the soul, or by killing him multiple times, which in turn forces him to tire himself out from healing, emptying his cursed energy to 0, causing imminent death. And while Choso is relative to Mahito, he doesn't have such an ability, so taking him out should be simple.'
He continued to analyze his opponents, as his eyes locked on to Jogo's and Kenjaku's figures, 'Dealing with Jogo might be a nuisance but I should manage... The only person who I'm not sure I can currently deal with is Kenjaku, especially when he has all this help.'
Yuta endlessly contemplated his options before a light bulb went off in his head as he casually lay his blade on his shoulder while he spoke, "Why don't we do this another time?"
Kenjaku furrowed his brows in confusion, and before he could respond, something unexpected happened.
Behind Yuta, a few Sorcerers ran down in a hurry, namely, Itadori, Mei, her little brother, Nobara, Maki and Naobito.
"Who the hell's that!?" Itadori questioned loudly as they continued to run forward.
Mei and Maki's eyes gained a glint of realization as they recognized Yuta's figure in his Jujutsu attire.
Maki smiled, "That's Yuta Okkutsu."
Mei nodded in confirmation, "He's one of the Special Grade Sorcerers at Jujutsu High."
But after speaking, they noticed Yuta raise his hand in a closed fist without looking back, prompting Mei to quickly raise her hand, indicating to everyone they should stop.
And just like that, everyone came to a skidding stop, as they watched Yuta standing in the center, between them and their cursed opponents.
Mei's thoughts instantly started to surmise the situation, 'Based off that Geto look alike's current bloodied appearance he's clearly not an ally and seems to be very dangerous. Not to mention, those other three cursed spirits, two seem to be injured while the volcano head cursed spirit is someone that appears to be beyond even me. '
'For now, it's best to follow Yuta's lead, let's watch and see what happens.'
Nobara who was beside Mei, looked at her uncertainly, "Do we help him, or not?"
Mei shook her head, "Just wait it out for now."
The old man Naobito just scoffed silently, but nodded in agreement as they all simply waited but were ready for battle.
Yuta himself glanced behind him with a nostalgic smile appearing on his face, "Hmm... I'd rather not get them involved in this." He mumbled, as he noticed some familiar faces.
Kenjaku who was across from him, hummed silently as he thought, 'I didn't notice it earlier because everything was so sudden, but Yuta Okkutsu really broke all the surrounding barriers in one go... No wonder the Jujutsu High Sorcerers got here so fast.'
Yuta came to a different realization as his eyes locked on to Kenjaku's calm ones, 'If there here, must mean that he recalled all his Cursed Spirits...'
And not even a few seconds later, dozens to hundreds of Cursed Spirits came in droves from the stairs behind a smiling Kenjaku, causing Yuta to ponder.
'If I was alone, dealing with them shouldn't be a problem, but...' Yuta glanced back toward the dozens to hundreds of frightened humans hiding, and even with the help of the sorcerers, he wasn't sure he could protect all of them. 'And unfortunately their not ready to fight the likes of Jogo or Kenjaku.'
Yuta sighed with a defeated smile as he locked eyes with Kenjaku, he then abruptly declared, "You can leave."
Kenjaku raised a brow, 'I didn't expect him to let us go so easily, It seems he's aware of the casualties they would suffer if he were to engage us.'
Without much hesitation he then nodded, "We shall retreat for now."
But before he even took a step,
Yuta's expression turned indifferent as he whispered, "You can leave if you survive this."
His hands were already raised forward in a certain form, as a small ball of pink cursed energy appeared at the tips of fingers.
Kenjaku looked behind him with an annoyed expression as he realized what was going to happen.
Suddenly the pink trace of energy surged from Yuta's hands before sending out a zooming beam of cursed energy.
Boom!
Decimating anything in it's path as it shot forward, no curses were spared as they shrieked in fear.
Kenjaku's figure dashed away in haste, leaving the other curses to fend for themselves.
"Haha! This guy's crazy!" Mahito laughed while running away.
Chose silently grunted as he ran as fast as he could.
"Run!" Jogo shouted before the powerful attack also enveloped his figure within it.
Boom!
The stream of pink energy exploded forwards for over hundreds to thousands of feet, as it annihilated everything in it's path.
His fellow Jujutsu High Sorcerers behind him all had to raise their hands protectively from the shockwave, before opening their eyes in astonishment as everything in front of them was obliterated, with the apparent moon shining down on them from the destroyed roof.
As in the aftermath, a large crevice was created from a seemingly casual attack by Yuta.
Maki's eyes held surprise but she seemed used to it as she stared at Yuta's back, 'As expected... Yuta got even stronger.' She thought inwardly.
Yuta had an unconcerned expression as he sheathed his sword and put it back in it's bag on his back, 'It seems they did get away, well I'll be sure to catch them and put an end to them all sooner or later.' His gaze surveyed his surroundings which were empty of any cursed spirits, but he wasn't much surprised by their getaway because he couldn't even go full power without killing the humans around him.
He then turned around as he sheepishly smiled, "Well, did you miss me?"
Maki was the first one to answer with a small smile, "Hey Yuta, it's been quite sometime..."
Yuta nodded, "It has, hasn't it." But before they could continue, Mei intervened as she stepped toward Yuta.
"As much as I hate to interrupt the pleasantries, we have more important matters to focus on, like Gojo's sealing. What happened?" She asked.
Yuta could only shake his head, "Unfortunately the person who's controlling Geto's body managed to escape with it, I could have tried to take it from him, but he wasn't going to go out without a fight, and we probably would have lost, with you guys dying." He bluntly explained.
Before Mei could retort, Itadori stepped in front of her, "I don't mean to be rude, but I feel like your underestimating us, adding to the fact your a Special Grade, we could have definitely taken them on-"
Mei didn't let Itadori finish as she spoke with her usual smile, "If Yuta say's that, then I'll trust my powerful junior."
"Eh?" Itadori seemed surprised as he glanced around and everyone nodded in understanding.
"So what should we do now?" Maki asked the question everyone was thinking as it was silent.
Yuta didn't hesitate as he responded, "I've already told the higher ups that everyone who's not a Special Grade Sorcerer will focus on evacuating all civilians, and will only engage an enemy if their forced too."
