Chapter 8 - Interrogation

Sachiko was just about to return to her dorms when Gojo walked into the room.

"Sensei, didn't you leave because you have somewhere to go?" Sachiko asked.

"Well, I came back to take Yuuji for a lesson." Gojo turned to look at Yuuji who was still watching the movie without getting punched by the cursed doll. He thought, 'Seems like I can increase the output soon.'

"We're going out, Yuuji. I'll teach you the apex of sorcery battle, Domain Expansion." Gojo said.

"Gojo Sensei!" Sachiko raised her hand. "Can I come too?!"

"Why not." Gojo said with a laugh.

Ten seconds later, the three of them stood in front a special grade curse.

"Where am I? Where?!" Itadori screamed as looked around.

"Sorry, sorry. Did you wait long? These are my students, Nakamura Sachiko and Itadori Yuuji. They're here to observe." Gojo said.

"We're at school ten seconds ago, right ? How did we get here?" Itadori asked.

"Oh, we flew here." Gojo said casually.

Sachiko chuckled at that. 'Yeah, he's not explaining.'

The curse asked, "Why're you bringing Sukuna's vessel? Your shield?"

'So, this is a special grade curse that can communicate very well.' Sachiko thought. Then, she heard Gojo replying, "Shield? No, no. I told you I brought them here to observe. I'm teaching them, you know? Don't mind them. Just fight with me."

The curse said,"Isn't it stupid of you to bring burdens?"

Gojo replied with a laugh, "It should be fine." Gojo's lips curled up, "Because you're weak."

Sachiko laughed.

"Why is a weak little brat like you laughing?" The curse yelled as explosions came out of its ears and head.

'It's power is greater than the curses I've seen before.' Sachiko thought.

'Gojo sensei said he's weak ?' Itadori thought as he saw the massive explosion.

"Stay close to me." Gojo said and Sachiko closed the distance between them. Itadori did the same.

"Domain Expansion." The curse said as he made a hand gesture. Then, they were enclosed into a black space. It changed into a very hot space as there were melted iron and fire.

"Coffin of the Iron Mountain." The curse finished.

"Wow, it's a bit hot in here." Sachiko said lightly. Was she scared? Well, no. Although she wasn't quite sure if she could exorcise the curse, she should have no problem fighting back. Moreover, the great Gojo Satoru was beside her. What could even go wrong?

Gojo started explaining Itadori about the domain expansion, then asked Sachiko, "Well, Sachiko, you already can use domain expansion right? Tell me what is the best way to counter it."

She nodded, "The most effective way is to use a domain expansion ourselves."

Gojo gave a thumbs up. Then, he took off his blindfold and chanted, "Domain Expansion."

He made a hand gesture. "Unlimited Void."

Then, the scenerio changed and they were in a space.

"This is the inside of infinity."

Gojo went on talking about how the targets were given everything but can't do anything.

"Well, since I have some questions to ask, I'll stop here." Gojo said as he pulled its head off.

They were then returned to the outside world. Gojo put his legs onto its head and interrogated.

Suddenly, a branch fell from the sky and the ground was filled with flowers, so beautiful that one would lower their guards and get lost in thoughts.

"this is sorcery." Gojo said as he slapped his own cheek.

In a few seconds they dropped their guard, another cursed spirit came and picked up the head.

Meanwhile, Itadori's leg was dragged by the massive branch and Sachiko was also attacked by it. "Sensei, I'm fine here. You go chase them!" Itadori shouted but when the branch tried to devour him, he shouted again. "I was lying! Please save me!"

Sachiko shouted to Gojo as she used cursed energy to cut the branches off. "Leave this to me, sensei!"

Gojo nodded as he chased the curse. Sachiko cut down all the branches and after that, she said to Itadori, "I'm going to go and chase them down."

"Wait!" Itadori yelled but it was too late.

Sachiko saw Gojo returning with a hand and a head.

"The other escaped. It was good at concealing its aura." Gojo said.

"Gojo Satoru, even if you ask, I'm not going to tell you anything." The curse, Jogo, yelled.

"I'll have to exorcise you now then." Gojo said.

"Wait, sensei, can I try something? I'm not sure if it'll work but.." Sachiko said after some hestitation.

"Oh, do you have a way?" Gojo asked, interested.

"In my domain, I can make everything happen. Although it depends on my power and the level of the target. " Sachiko explained.

"That's interesting. Give it a try then." Gojo said as he casually threw the curse's head to Sachiko.

Gojo was only about three meters away from Sachiko so if she used Domain Expansion, Gojo would get dragged into it. Gojo didn't seem to mind, though. He even looked like he was expecting to see it.

So, Sachiko walked over to Gojo. Then, she chanted, "Domain Expansion" and made a hand gesture. "Myriad Possibilities."

As soon as the words came out, they were transported into Sachiko's domain.

'She can use domain expansion? Besides, what is this power?' Jogo thought.

"This is my domain where everything I says become 100% possibility, meaning whatever I say, you'll end up doing it." Sachiko said as she walked over to the head.

"Now, tell me everything, you, cursed spirit." Sachiko said as she made eye contact with Jogo.

"Like I would!" Jogo yelled but clearly, he was having trouble resisting.

Sachiko bit her lip, a bit nervous as she looked Gojo. "He's stronger than I thought, sensei."

Gojo laughed, "You're doing well, Sachiko. He is a cursed spirit that can even communicate well. Besides, he looks like he is trying really hard to resist."

Sachiko lighly smiled at that.

After a minute, it finally gave in, "No one ordered me to come. I just wanted to test out Gojo Satoru's power since we decided...decided to seal Gojo Satoru in prison realm for the future mi.." It closed its mouth by force.

Gojo seemed surprised by the revelation and asked, "and what might be the reason?"

Sachiko repeated the question but the curse Jogo forcibly used his cursed energy to explode himself after he yelled, "There's no way I'm talking!!! Gojo Satoru and you brat!!!"

"Ah seems like this is my limit. It killed itself." Sachiko scratched her head.

"Well, seems like they have further plans in the future. I wonder what those might be." Gojo said. "You did well, Sachiko. Even though the information is incomplete, we know what to expect now!" He put his hand on her head.

"....Th..Thanks, Gojo sensei." Sachiko blushed.

"Well, then, let's get out of here." Gojo said and only then, she remembered to get out of her domain.

Gojo chuckled at her antics.

Hanami with his one arm cut off, returned to Suguru Geto.

"I distracted them and took Jogo's head but there was another student who dealt with my branches and that gave Gojo Satoru a chance to chase me. Luckily, he was focusing more on capturing us alive. Otherwise, I don't even think I could've escaped." Hanami said.

"It was a pity Jogo was captured by him. Was he exorcised by now since he wouldn't reveal anything ?" Geto wondered.
