What could possibly be so important that they would bring me back from my vacat...mission in Africa!?

The idiotic higher-ups had an emergency mission assigned to me. Gojo is already in Japan. Why not ask him?

While the flight back is nice, I have to get right back to business. This whole special grade thing has its downsides. Higher-ups expect you to listen to everything they say.

Originally, I was the first person asked to transport the Star Plasma Vessel, but I turned them down. They weren't happy, but who could they send to stop me?

Hopefully, I can quickly deal with this before heading overseas for another 'mission.'

...

A few hours later, we landed, and I had a black car to pick me up to go straight to Jujutsu headquarters.

What a pain in the ass.

The car ride was silent. I didn't even bother asking about the driver's type since he likely wouldn't respond to me anyway. Those people are no fun to mess with.

Around thirty minutes later, we arrived at Jujutsu headquarters, the head of Jujutsu society and the home of the higher-ups.

After getting out and making my way up the stairs, I entered the building, ignoring the guard at the front.

So I can get out of here as quickly as possible, I head straight for the room before a man in a suit reaches his hand out. "A meeting is currently in place."

I roll my eyes. "I'm not waiting. They called me here, so I'm going in."

The man seemed to want to protest, but he quickly stepped aside when he saw my expression. I push open the doors.

*bam*

The doors slam open, and a man stands in the middle of the room, surrounded by orange panels.

I announce my presence. "What did you possibly need me for? You had to fly me back from my mission!?"

The man spoke up. "Who do you think you are!?"

However, before I got to respond, one of the geezers spoke. "We will discuss this later, so leave. Yuki Tsukumo, welcome."

The random man was going to protest but went white when he heard my name. "I-I didn't know."

I flop my head back. "*Ugh* Get out."

Instead of arguing, he quickly shuffled his way out.

I raise my eyebrow. "Now then, what do you need me for?"

A woman speaks from my left. "Naohiro Zenin is back."

My eyes widen. "Are you serious!?"

Then, a raspy voice spoke on my right. "As you should know, he is labeled as a curse user."

My eyes start to narrow as I understand my purpose here. "Stop beating around the bush. What do you want?"

A man behind the panel in front of me speaks. "He is a dangerous special-grade cursed user. The new special grade sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, has made his opinions known on the matter."

Flashback: One Year Ago

"Fuck off."

End of Flashback

They continue. "So, we want you to take his place as Naohiro Zenin's executioner."

...

The room goes silent.

...

I speak up with a serious face. "Why are you so adamant about killing him? Anyone who has known him at all would know he wouldn't kill Geto."

The woman from before spoke up. "How preposterous. He killed a grade-one sorcerer and abandoned his duties. There is no room for debate. The evidence is clear. This is treason of the highest degree."

I scowl. "Are you so blinded by your own ego that you won't listen from multiple credible sources? Time and time again, you won't listen to anything people say, even if the evidence is right before your eyes. Your agenda is the only thing that matters to you."

*GASP*

A raspy voice yells from behind me. "HOW. HOW. HOW INSULTING! We keep Jujutsu society from falling apart, and you dare accuse us of such actions!?"

I huff a laugh before turning serious again. "Yes."

Feeling multiple glares on me, I continue. "I have a piece of advice for you."

The same voice gets louder. "WHAT!?"

My voice turns cold. "If you want to survive, I suggest removing his cursed user status. He's a man who won't care about your status as a higher-up. Getting in his way or pissing him off is one of the last things you want to do if you want to stay alive."

I wouldn't say anything like this in normal circumstances...but Tengen shared many things about him.

Things that can even worry me.

They are too shocked to speak, so I do the honors. "While I could probably do a good job against him, I would have an extremely hard time winning. If he had gotten even stronger than the last time I saw him, I would most likely lose ten times out of ten. So, no, I will not be his executioner."

The room goes silent again, so I leave the room with a serious look on my face.

...

Damnit, now I'm pissed.

Naohiro

I am sitting next to Shoko, who is lying on her back with a cigarette in her mouth while Megumi does physical training.

If he goes into his rituals with a weak body, he is going to die much quicker. We can't have that, can we?

I turn to Shoko with a raised eyebrow. "Do you know the irony of a medical sorcerer smoking?"

She smirks. "Reverse cursed technique."

I give her a deadpan stare. "Seven-year-olds don't have reverse cursed technique."

Her smirk widens. "But aren't I his 'personal medical professional?'"

I scratch my head. "Throwing my own words at me, huh? Anyways, I'm planning on fighting something insane, so I might need your expertise in case something happens."

She sits up. "You need my help with reverse cursed technique?"

I give her another deadpan stare. "Not me, but in the case Megumi gets his head punched off before I can start to fight the thing."

She huffs a laugh. "Well, if his head gets punched off, there isn't much I can do."

I smile back. "True, but I'll need preparations so other people won't get involved in our fight. I'm confident I can beat his Shikigami, but he can get destructive if left unchecked."

She looks concerned. "What the hell are you going to be fighting?"

I tilt my head to the side. "Ryomen Sukunas father."

Shoko gives me an 'Are you stupid' look, so I laugh. "It's an inside joke, so you wouldn't get it."

All she does is raise an eyebrow before looking back at Megumi.

So I think to myself.

Where should I fight Mahoraga?

It's not like I can fly around a city and throw hands with him, although that does sound like a lot of fun.

I've been thinking about multiple locations, but it's hard to keep something as insane as Mahoraga under the radar.

Well, I'll figure it out.
