The Mountain Pass.
"Ah, haha."
"Unbelievable."
A low, sinister laugh echoed from Yuji's cheek.
SMACK!
Yuji slapped himself in the face. "Sorry, Sensei! This guy named Sukuna pops up sometimes!"
"It's alright," Mirai chuckled, looking at the mouth and eye that had formed on Yuji's face.
"Ryomen Sukuna. The King of Curses. It's a miracle you can contain him."
"Kid," Sukuna's eye swiveled toward Mirai. "You seem to know a lot."
"If you submit now, I'll spare your life when I take over this brat's body. Your fake smile is more pleasing than that blindfolded sorcerer's."
"FUCK YOU!"
SMACK!
White Zetsu slapped Yuji across the face.
"Where did this punk come from?! Hiding inside my Little Brother and acting tough?!"
"Come out and fight me 1v1!" Zetsu roared. "I'll give you a handicap! Two legs and nine fingers!"
"I could kill you with a sneeze, Clown," Sukuna sneered.
"AH-DA!"
Zetsu tried to punch Yuji again.
"Senior Zetsu! Stop hitting me!" Yuji cried, covering his face. "You're hitting me, not him!"
"Very good," Sukuna muttered, retreating into Yuji. "Trashy spirit... I expect you to live until I come out."
...
"Sensei! Volcano-Head is gone!" Nobara shouted.
They looked at the spot where Jogo had fallen. The charred ground was empty.
Ijichi examined the soil. He pulled out a handful of white roots.
"Roots?" Ijichi frowned. "He has an accomplice."
Mirai's eyes shifted from crimson back to black. He sighed theatrically.
"A Special Grade capable of erasing its presence... I was careless."
Hehehe.
Inside Yuji, Sukuna laughed softly. He saw through the act. Mirai had let them go.
...
The Next Day. First-Year Classroom.
Yuji and Nobara were discussing the battle. Megumi sat quietly, reflecting on Mirai's Ten Shadows.
"Megumi," Yuji asked. "Who is stronger? Gojo-sensei or Mirai-sensei?"
Megumi frowned.
Mirai-sensei beat a Special Grade effortlessly. He has a Domain. But Gojo-sensei...
BANG!
The door flew open.
"OF COURSE I'M STRONGER!"
Gojo Satoru strode in, grinning. White Zetsu followed him, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"I heard about the Volcano," Gojo bragged. "I could crush that trash in a minute without a Domain."
"Mirai needed a Domain? Weak."
"Do you know why Fake-Smile hasn't been teaching for six months?" Gojo leaned in.
"He got injured by my Domain. He's been recovering."
"Bingo!" Zetsu yawned. "Mirai-boy was bedridden. Gojo fried his brain."
"WHAT?!" Yuji and Nobara gasped.
Gojo smirked. He turned to Zetsu.
"Zetsu. Don't you remember that Volcano?"
"Intelligent. Humanoid. Just like you."
Gojo's eyes narrowed behind his blindfold.
"Are you sure you don't know him?"
Gojo suspects, Mirai thought (listening through Zetsu). He thinks Jogo might be another one of my experiments, like Zetsu.
"Nope!" Zetsu picked his nose. "Never seen him. He's trash. I'm elite."
Gojo chuckled. "I see."
"So... where is Fake-Smile now?"
