July 2018,

It's been around a month since Lorien started his series of breakthroughs as he began walking the 'Dream Path'.

In this past month, a lot happened with Lorien as he continued facing the 'weaknesses' one by one and consolidating his [Inner Dream World].

By now, the [Inner Dream World] had improved drastically from a structural point of view as it got more and more complete.

It's just that, after the appearance of the sun and moon, there weren't any other significant changes with the only noticeable one being the consolidation of the already existing elements.

And right now, Lorien is finally reaching the end as there are only a few weird 'weaknesses' left for him to face; However, it is unknown when he'll truly finish challenging them.

After all, this depends on how weird those 'weaknesses' are, how fast Lorien is able to adapt, and how 'time' chooses to act in the [Inner Dream World].

So, he might be able to finish them in a second, or maybe in a year.

However, Lorien wasn't the only one who was currently facing challenges as the new first years at Jujutsu Highschool are now facing the biggest danger they have ever encountered since becoming sorcerers.

Eishuu Juvenile Detention Center, West Tokyo City.

Standing under the rain, Kiyotaka Ijichi the assistant director at Tokyo Jujutsu High spoke calmly, explaining the situation.

"Our window verified the curse womb three hours ago.

Once 90 percent were successfully evacuated, they made the call to seal off the center.

Citizens within a 500-meters radius have been evacuated, as well."

Saying this, the man couldn't help but look at the three first-grade sorcerers who were sent here because of how urgent the situation is.

Usually, to face such a strong cursed spirit that has the potential to be a special grade, a sorcerer of the same level would be sent.

Unfortunately, in this business, there is a constant lack of manpower causing sorcerers to undertake missions beyond their power.

However, the case here is still a very extreme and urgent one, otherwise, people at their power level wouldn't be anywhere near here.

It's just that thankfully for them, it appears that they didn't really have to face this cursed spirit head-on as Ijichi continued explaining their mission with a serious look on his face.

"Do not fight under any circumstances; If you encounter a special grade, your options are either to run or die!"

Saying this, Ijichi couldn't help but lower his voice as he looked at the somewhat uneasy students.

"Please, just listen to your fears; Do not forget that your mission here is strictly the verification and rescue of survivors."

*Drip*

Following this, the trio finally headed towards 'Detainee Block 2' where the five detainees remain with the cursed womb.

*Step*

*Step*

*Step*

Walking slowly towards the thick iron door, the student's faces were filled with determination and resolve.

"Fushiguro, Kugisaki, We're gonna save them!"

"Of course, we are!"

"Hmm."

Looking at their backs, Ijichi maintained his indifferent facial expression as he raised two fingers in front of him and then spoke lightly.

"Emerge from darkness, Blacker than darkness

Purify that which is impure."

The moment he uttered this, a blob of darkness appeared in the sky right above the building as it then extended in all directions completely enveloping the juvenile detention center within.

Seeing this, Itadori who didn't have any experience couldn't help but run briskly to the railing beside him as he then started looking around.

"It's becoming night!" He exclaimed.

"It's a veil! There is a residential area nearby, so this barrier conceals us from the outside world." Responded Megumi.

"That's incredible!"

Hearing this, Megumi just ignored him as he then raised his hands in front of him and made a specific hand sign which activated his cursed technique [Ten Shadows].

"Demon Dogs!"

Following his loud call, Megumi's shadow suddenly started twisting as a white dog suddenly appeared from within.

*Awoooooooooooooooo*

"He'll let us know if the curse gets close!" He explained.

Hearing this, Itadori moved closer to the dog and started petting it as he spoke gently.

"Oh, I see! Good boy, Good boy! We are counting on you, okay?"

*Bark*

*Bark*

Finally, after finishing all of this, the trio finally headed toward their target as they pushed the metal door in front of them open, causing it to creak loudly.

*Creaaak*

"Let's go!"

Moving in swiftly with the dog treading in front of them, the trio immediately entered the 2nd block.

However, just after taking a couple of steps in, Megumi suddenly shouted loudly as he noticed something unusual.

"Wait!"

However, it appears that he wasn't the only one who noticed this as Nobara couldn't help but question.

"What is that?!"

"Wh-What's going on here? This is a two-story dorm isn't it?" Added Itadori.

"C-C-Calm down! it's a maisonette!"

Hearing this, Megumi who was standing next to them couldn't help but feel speechless.

'No, it's not!'

'It's the deployment of an innate domain due to cursed energy."

'It's my first time seeing one this big!'

However, just as he was deep in thought trying to figure out the situation, he suddenly remembered something causing him to quickly turn around and shout.

"Where's the door?!!"

""Huh?""

Feeling confused, Itadori and Nobara slowly turned around to look at the position from where they entered, just to find nothing.

"Th-The door's gone!"

"How?! We just came in through here, didn't we?!"

"What do we do?"

"It'll be fine! The dog remembers the scent of the entrance!" Suddenly interjected Megumi.

"Oh, my!"

"Good boyy!!!"

"Sigh...Aren't you guys too calm?"

Shaking his head, Megumi finally started moving forward again as he spoke.

"Let's keep moving!"
