Chapter 2: Assignment

As the trio of students sat down at their desks, their teacher Ino approached the front of the classroom. He placed his hands on the wooden podium before speaking. "Alright, now that we're all present..." He looked down at his watch. "... Somewhat on time, we can begin." Jigen's hand immediately shot up. "Ino-Sensei!!! What is this special lesson gonna be today?!" Ino would look at his student, an unimpressed look on his face. "I was going to say that before you interrupted me. Anyways, the lesson today is going to be..." Jigen and Fujino would lean forward in their chairs, brimming with excitement, meanwhile, Nakaoka would remain indifferently leaning back in his seat. "An exorcism assignment." As Ino finished speaking, all excitement in the room was killed. "WHAATTTT?!" Fujino would yell out. "An exorcism assignment?! We've been doing that for years now!" She would continue. "And you'll continue to do it this year as well. A Sorcerer's job is never finished, that's the first lesson of the year. You guys might be 3rd years, but that doesn't change your job. Now, Assistant Director Hinata is waiting for you outside, he'll be driving you to your assignment. Better get a move on."

The trio of students all stood up, Fujino and Jigen moped their way out of the room, while Nakaoka looked over to Ino before leaving. "What's the deal? I know this isn't the special lesson you mentioned." He would ask. "You're a smart guy, be lucky you're not sticking around here, cuz I need to go teach the 2nd Years, they're teachers out sick right now." Nakaoka would nod understandingly. "Oof, that's gonna be awful. I've heard those guys can be quite hectic." "Hectic doesn't even begin to describe it, but we can't help the situation. Now go get that assignment done." Nakaoka would nod again before leaving the school, Ino would shortly exit the classroom as well.

In the courtyard outside the school, the trio would be standing. Jigen and Fujino huddled together. "So we're skipping this assignment right?" Jigen would suggest. "Of course we are, but what are we gonna do in the meantime?" Fujino would respond. "I heard that new ape film is making the rounds. We could go see that." The duo would continue discussing amongst themselves before turning their attention to their classmate. "Nakaoka! You wanna come see 'World of the Monkey Kingdoms: Monkey Wars' with us?" Fujino would yell out. "Nah, I'll go to the assignment. It's better if one of us goes, that way there's no suspicions." Nakaoka would begin heading down the steps of Mount Mushiro. "Oh right! You smartypants!" "We'll see you later then." The duo would head off, in a different direction.

Back in the school, Ino would be watching from a window. Seeing the trio split up, he knew exactly what was going on. He knew the students very well, he'd been teaching them for almost three years by now, and he'd make sure to give them in trouble later. He would look down at his watch before continuing down the hallways. As he rounded a corner, he would hear a commotion coming from one of the classrooms, the very classroom he was heading to. "Shit, he's coming!" He would hear a feminine voice yelling from the room, followed by another commotion. As his hand met the door and it began to slide open, he would see flashes of two figures rushing back to their desks.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

He spotted the culprits, the 2nd Year Students. Turning his attention to the chalkboard, the words 'Yuto Sensei sucks!' were written largely across the surface. He would look back to the students. "Which one of you wrote that on the board?" He would say, closing the door behind him as he fully entered the room, ready to dish out some punishment.

Back with the 3rd Years, specifically Nakaoka who had opted to actually complete the assignment given to him. He sat in the back of a stylish black car, being driven by the Assistant Director of Jujutsu High, Hinata Mori. Nakaoka had headphones that sat over his ears, blaring loud gothic rock music into his head, deafening the sounds of the outside world. As the car drove through the city, he would watch the flashes of people walking go by his window. The car came to a stop at a set of traffic lights, at the lights was a woman, holding a child's hand, he stared at the pair for a moment, thinking about his future as a Jujutsu Sorcerer. As the car began moving again, he would simply scoff before returning his attention to his phone.

A few more minutes would pass before the car finally reached its destination. A short walk away from the location of the Cursed Spirit. Nakaoka took his headphones off of his head, pausing the music on his phone as he did. "What's the assignment details?" He would ask. "Supposed to be a normal exorcism, but it's turned a bit more serious than that." The duo would exit the car and begin walking down the street. "How's that?" "Well, what was a normal Cursed Spirit, has now become a Grade 1 Spirit." Hinata would continue. "A Grade 1 isn't a normal exorcism." Nakaoka would respond. "Yup, the building is an office tower, owned by some insurance company." "An insurance company? I see why that Cursed Spirit is pissed off now, insurance companies are sharks."

The situation would come into view as they continued walking. A man in a black suit would spot the duo and quickly rushed over to them. "Are you the guy? T-The sorcerer?" Nakaoka would nod his head. "Great! You need to head in there now! There are people stuck inside!" Nakaoka would look the man up and down, he was a civilian, a worker at the Insurance Company. 'How does he know about my arrival? He's a normie, he shouldn't know anything about Sorcerers.' "H-Hey! Are you gonna go in there or what?!" He would get into Nakaoka's face and raise his voice, breaking the student's train of thought. As he snapped back to reality, Nakaoka would grab the man's face before forcefully pushing him to the ground. "Do that again and I'll feed you to whatever's in there." The man would climb to his feet and rush off into the crowd of civilians. "Hinata, drop a curtain and keep those normies out of the way." Nakaoka was noticeably pissed off, Hinata would nod and began preparing a Curtain to cloak the building while Nakaoka headed inside.
