Geto, who was chilling with his trio, was suddenly called by their teacher, Yaga.
He sounded panicked.
It was only one month before the Goodwill Event, and he had received news that someone close to Geto had not only been attacked by a cursed user but had also suffered a serious accident.
Tendou's phone only had two emergency numbers: his grandfather's and a few other contacts.
When the accident happened, Tendou didn't consider the phone important compared to his grandfather's health.
Even though it contained important things like his memories and data, it felt utterly worthless at that moment.
So when a passerby dialed one of the numbers, Principal Yaga, thinking it was Geto's family , picked up.
He was shocked by what he heard.
Geto's face, after hearing the bad news, turned pale yellow.
Geto, who had been lonely since childhood—so lonely that in the future, after snapping, he would even kill his own parents with his own hands—had found solace in that clumsy idiot. Uhm like they have the level of friendship comparsable to Geto and gojo
Even though they lived far apart, they occasionally kept in touch through calls.
The cursed user's involvement was also known to Yaga, because he had someone inspect the scene before entering the classroom. He wanted to confirm whether it was another scheme by the higher-ups.
Gojo, waking up from his sleep, said:
"What happened? A cat got your tongue or something?"
Then he saw Yaga and fell off the desk.
Realizing something was wrong, he asked what the hell was going on.
After learning that Geto's supposed imaginary friend had gotten into an accident, he was shocked.
Gojo had honestly thought Geto was messing with him when he said there was someone he knew who looked almost like him—the Honored One.
Not even his own family looked anything like him the only reason he wasn't susptected of being a fraud was his inherited genes which were resesice
"Teacher Yaga, are you in on the pla—"
But seeing Yaga's serious face, he realized it was the truth.
Geto rushed to the hospital.
Even Gojo didn't follow him, knowing he needed space.
After arriving, Geto found that Tendou's grandfather was in a deep sleep and had residue of cursed energy on him.
However, he didn't suspect that it was Tendou's own cursed energy.
But even after asking around and searching, he discovered that his friend had simply vanished after paying the hospital bills.
A week later
Geto had done his best to search, but he couldn't find even a trace.
Another month passed, and the Kyoto
Goodwill Event arrived.
On one side there were:
• Gojo
• Geto
• Shoko
And on the other side were:
• Naoya (timeline deviation — he only joined because he wanted to beat Gojo and prove himself worthy of becoming the head of the Zenin Clan)
• Utahime
• Mei Mei
• A bunch of random students
Even John Kaisen and John Zenin were on the team.
Meanwhile, Tendou had finally awakened and was more angry than ever.
First, he had almost lost his grandfather.
Then he had been attacked by a special-grade entity while he wasn't on guard and was mentally exhausted.
FLASHBACK
Tendou:
"You have lost. Now become my—"
Suddenly he jumped back, but he was still hit by a piercing beam from his own shadow.
The shikigami had merely feigned death, planning to exploit Tendou's cockiness and attack him from behind.
Tendou:
"What—?!"
Nidhogg:
"Did you really think darkness and light at that level would hurt me?"
"I was born in darkness. My knowledge far surpasses that of a lowly human."
It began charging a cannon-like attack.
Then Tendou started fighting seriously.
The fight lasted over 25 minutes
The only reason they weren't discovered was because they kept switching locations during the battle.
Tendou eventually won the fight, but because he had never seriously trained his cursed energy—only exercised and practiced lightly—his efficiency was far from optimal.
Because of this, Tendou decided to stay in the area for 30 days before deciding what to do next.
During that time, he discovered another feature of his darkness.
He captured a sorcerer from the Zenin Clan.
Using his darkness directly on the man's brain, Tendou absorbed the information.
Through this, he gained basic jujutsu knowledge and techniques from the Zenin sorcerer.
An - before you start saying something
Man it's his one of the worst day to be alive he also used his cursed energy or rct on someone else for the first time in his life so he was more than exhausted and as for potential
He has enough but you should know dabura actually knew how to control cursed energy or was taught when he was born
Yes he is op as shit but he has never taken a fight seriously
The most he has faught were grade 1 or lower
And this was a sentient shikigami with intelligence and the cursed technique of shadow and could spit out blue flames as a bonus and the only reason this fight took him so much time was all because he wasn't
