The next day,

The sun rose high into the horizon, sitting comfortably atop the sky as no one dared to look straight at it.

Sending warmth and injecting life into the world below it, the humans within its dominion scattered like foam along the wave trying to stay out of its way so as to not incur its wrath.

However, even in these hottest hours of the day, there are still some people who didn't care about the possible heat stroke as they trained tirelessly beneath it.

*Swish*

*Swish*

*Swish*

On one of the green fields at Jujutsu High, a young woman with a tall athletic build, golden eyes, and long dark green hair that was tied into a ponytail could be seen training vigorously.

She waved the staff she was holding as if she was fighting an invisible opponent.

From left to right, and from right to left, she moved and spun gracefully in place showing a great deal of skill.

It is unknown how long she's been there, however, the large amount of sweat on her is enough of an indication.

*Swish*

*Swish*

"Is today's training not over yet?" Suddenly asked a big panda that was sitting on the stairs not that far away from the young girl.

"Tuna Mayo." Responded the guy next to him as he continued to watch her training.

However, just as the two were watching the show leisurely, Maki who was still practicing in front of their eyes, suddenly disappeared without a warning.

"HUH??!!"

Instantly reacting, the two students immediately jumped from their sitting position, landing squarely on the green field that Maki was just on.

"Where did she go? Did you see what happened?" Questioned Panda looking a bit worried.

"Fish Flakes." Responded Toge as he hurriedly looked around.

"Is it an intruder? Quick! Let's inform the principal!" Finally concluded Panda as they then swiftly disappeared, heading towards the main building.

*Swish*

Meanwhile, just as this was happening in the outside world, Maki who had just disappeared from her position could be seen standing in a new environment as shock was apparent on her face.

However, reacting quickly, she immediately started looking around in vigilance so to assess her situation.

"This is..."

It's just that the moment she looked behind her, Maki's eyes widened as her mouth opened wide in shock.

In front of her, there stood a towering golden tree that pierced through the sky and into the horizon.

Moreover, by turning her head, she quickly noticed the two celestial bodies orbiting this realm in tune, sailing loftily among the stars.

However, what attracted most of her interest right now was the huge and majestic building that sat at the foot of the towering tree.

Looking at all of this, Maki could guess by now that she was somewhat absorbed into a domain.

However, she has never heard of any domain being this huge in size, just with a quick glance, she quickly assessed that it is far beyond the kilometer range.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down her spine as she held the staff in hand much tighter, causing her knuckles to whiten.

'What the hell is happening? Did an intruder attack the school?'

'But...'

Looking around once more, Maki noticed that she was the only one here, meaning that no one other than her was forcefully absorbed into the domain.

'Panda and Inumaki were near me when I was practicing, so they should have immediately noticed it when I disappeared.'

'It won't take long for them to call the teachers here, moreover, Gojo sensei should be in the school right now.'

Thinking of this, Maki quickly calmed down as she then looked at the huge intricate doors of the building in front of her with a frown.

'For now, there doesn't seem to be any danger, however, that's only for the time being, so I have to say vigilant.'

'All I have to do is stay alive for a while until help arrives!'

It's just that unknown to Maki, even if the teachers were to arrive to the training field where she disappeared, they won't be able to do anything.

After all, different from normal domains that are visible, look like huge glass balls, and are easy to attack from the outside, the realm/domain Maki was currently in doesn't have such a weakness.

This is mainly because when creating the Dream Path, Lorien took into consideration such an issue, and in doing so, he made it so that the domains born from this path are hidden in space and are based on the power of dreams.

Essentially, their outer appearance is no different from a dream bubble making it nearly impossible for those without the power of dreams to notice it.

Not to mention that even this 'dream bubble' is hidden between the 'nooks and crannies' of space, giving it another layer of protection.

This was immediately proven by the teachers outside who had quickly arrived by the time Maki had finished observing the place.

"Can you sense anything?" Asked principal Yaga as he observed the place.

To which responded the white-haired man next to him with a head shake while removing his blindfold.

'Weird...I can't sense any traces of cursed energy.'

Thinking of this, Gojo suddenly froze as he remembered something.

'Oh right! Didn't that guy say he was interested in Maki? Moreover, as there are no traces of cursed energy, it is most likely him!'

It's just that this momentary pause was immediately noticed by Yaga who didn't waste any time questioning him.

"What did you find?"

Hearing this, Gojo wore back his eye covers, placed his hands in his pockets, and started walking away as he spoke.

"Don't worry about it, she is safe, moreover, she might surprise us when she comes back."

However, Yaga wasn't satisfied by such a cryptic response as he instantly yelled at his fading back.

"HEY! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? EXPLAIN!!"

It's just that sadly for him, Gojo just turned a blind ear at him as he just waved his hand, continuing to walk away slowly.

"DAMN IT!" Finally yelled Yaga, giving up his interrogation.

However, Maki didn't know about any of this as she stayed in place biding her time, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible.

*Creaak*

However, suddenly, under Maki's increasingly nervous eyes, the huge doors in front of her slowly creaked open, and from the center, a figure soon became visible.
