Potential Man (Megumi SI/JJK/WC Fic)

Megumi P.O.V.

"Have you ever heard of Disaster Curses?" I ask Sukuna, as we watch TV together inside his domain "The ones that are super smart, can talk, move around..."

"Hm, yes. I remember one... It appeared after a Tsunami, I was curious and went there to see, but it was not all that." Sukuna says casually without taking his eyes off the TV.

"Oh, only one? Maybe because there were fewer people back then." Understandable, information can't travel that well too. "And what you can tell me about Kenjaku?"

"Hmpf, I knew that thing was gonna pull something... Not telling." He comments in a low voice before scoffing

"Stingy man~ I even gave you some anime to watch!"

"Tch, this pathetic shit? Look at that guy! Why didn't he fuck that brown woman? Such a wimp."

"I agree, not Ichigo's best moment... The average male MC are all pussies. It's to not have a definitive waifu." Let me put Yoruichi a little higher on my personal list "He gets better later, though not in the romance aspect..."

He scoffs again "The so-called villains are much more interesting."

"I knew you would be like that..."

"At least they are doing something instead of only reacting... Letting the world flow guide your movement? Pathetic." The distaste is so palpable that is funny

"It gets better, there will be a plot twist and then the best arc. My favorite character, Ulquiorra will appear too."

"I bet it is some edgy guy then."

"..." Damn, I hate that he is right, let's turn it around on him "Look at you... Using new words like 'edgy'. You used 'cringe' earlier too..." Should I show him the brainrot? Imagine Sukuna saying Sigma! "You're really catching up, maybe we could even be friends! Like Kurama and Naruto!"

"Don't compare me with Kurama! What a disappointment, to be swayed by the measly words of a brat!" Oh, he is getting angry

"Sukuna... Don't be like that..." I raise my fist at him, asking for a fist bump "In the end, we are the same... Don't give up your humanity just yet. Dattebayo..."

*Swish*

..........

"Zehahaha!" I open my eyes in my room again.

I was almost hit by a Cleave, or was it a Dismantle? Whatever, same shit.

Annoying him is my second favorite activity... Wait, sex and teasing girls are different activities so annoying him is in third place.

"What time is it? I will sneak into Maki's room..." Mai has been working so hard lately, because of the preparation for the Shibuya Incident, I don't want to tire her more

...........

"I'm saying... You learn Simple Domain and how to use a Curtain and you're halfway towards Domain Expansion." I say to my fellow students as we take a break from the training.

They look at me strangely... The same look they give Gojo sometimes...

"Yeah, you're only forgetting about the huge amount of Cursed Energy needed, the fine control, and other minor things." Mai says sarcastically as I pamper her with a massage.

She deserves it. Working so hard only because of my words...

"It's not his fault, Fushiguro-kun has such a ridiculous amount of Cursed Energy that he forgets about how hard the life of us measly mortals is." Are you helping or taunting me, Panda?

"Salmon." Don't agree with his ambiguous words

"He really is like Gojo-sensei in this aspect," Maki adds.

"Hey! I went step by step, don't compare me to that freak."

"You're a freak too." This time is Nobara

"Tch, I'm showing you guys the path. The recipe! Ungrateful bastards." I shake my head "You all will never become Complete Jujutsu Sorcerers at this rate."

"Complete Jujutsu Sorcerers?" Junpei, the least knowledgeable about the world of Jujutsu, asks

"It's what Megumi calls someone who can use every single Jujutsu technique." Maki explained before I had the chance to say anything

"He invented it." Mai adds

"Fushiguro-kun sure has high standards."

"Salmon"

"You guys have no ambition..." I shake my head again

"Is it really that hard?" Junpei asks

"Well..." Panda goes on to explain

"It's possible." I intervene

"No one is a Complete Jujutsu Sorcerer by your standards!" Mai pinches my hand

"No one? Not even Gojo-sensei?" Junpei asks shocked

I shake my head "You can say that she is, but I'm an even better example."

Sometimes I forget these people don't know that Gojo casually learned things like Simple Domain and Domain Amplification even though she never uses it.

I turn to Junpei "If you want to nitpick, there are things like Extension techniques and Maximum Techniques, that Gojo doesn't have."

"Isn't Purple a Maximum Technique?" Mai asks

"She doesn't call it a Maximum Technique then it's not." I say "But I think I saw she used a Maximum variation of Blue..." She used that right?

"Isn't this an even more scary prospect... That means her technique can be pushed a little further..." Panda comments.

"..." Everyone falls silent.

The thought that Gojo still hadn't reached her full potential is a little funny~

"Some techniques are not meant to have Extension, Maximum, or Reverse versions..." I say. That's why I don't count it as being a requirement. Only a nitpick...

"Wouldn't your standards exclude people without innate techniques?" Junpei asks

"Sucks to be them." I say without missing a beat.

"Don't your standards exclude Maki-san the most?" Nobara stabs me in the back.

"..."

"...."

"...obviously there are exceptions..." I say looking at her while she glares at me "Maki is better than almost everyone else using a different path." I use my words carefully.

"..." She was simply teasing me with a glare, this kind of thing does not affect her anymore.

"So, only two people are Complete Jujutsu Sorcerers?" Junpei asks again

"I never said that it was easy." I shrug my shoulders. "It's just that knowing everything like Reverse Cursed Technique and Simple Domain increases your survivability rate considerably." With these two I think they can escape from anything that is not a Disaster Curse

"..." Everyone goes a little silent again, the high mortality of this job is a sore subject.

Ah, now you're feeling bad that you noticed that my intentions are pure... Truth be told, I really don't want you all to die when I'm not looking, but it's more because of Gojo's dream.

............

I remember this mission...

Junpei, Nobara, and I, are currently being driven to my school to investigate the death of some ex-students. We are going to see a guy that was related to them, but he died so we need to search for clues in the school now.

"Now that we are back to Square Zero, let's ask the teachers about the victims." Nita Akari says depressedly as she drives us. Ijichi-san is not here today.

She is not a beauty, but is passable... maybe I should hit on her. She gives some credits too.

I also already know the whole secret of this mission, but I'm gonna let Nobara and Junpei have their character development.

"They really have no other relation beyond studying together?" Junpei asks "It's been years since they were students, does this whole thing really has relation with the school?"

"Curses can stay dormant and wake after certain conditions are completed." Nita-san explains

"All of them died in front of doors, so maybe it's related to that... The curse triggers by passing through a door." Nobara tries to guess

"It's obviously a factor but it can't be the only one... Till we find the common denominator we can't progress." I say

Nobara seems incensed for me shooting down her "eureka" moment but I ignore her.

"Those dates..." I comment while looking at the files

"What?" Nobara asks trying to look over my shoulder

"Nothing..." I remembered that this whole fiasco falls on my shoulders now.

Not that I care.

...............

"We are here." Nita-san guided us through the gate of the school.

It has been a long time since I came here... Since Tsumiki entered into a coma.

"We are gonna see the teacher now." Nita-san comments as we walk together.

"Hey, there's some thugs there... let's beat them." Nobara points to the two wannabe gangsters smoking

"Why?" Junpei asks her confused

"To ask for information, of course!"

"...but why beat them?" He is still confused

Don't try to understand this woman's mind, Junpei. She thinks that she is in some anime or somethin- wait a minute...

The thugs obviously hear what Nobara said, they turn to us with their faces looking for trouble but when our eyes meet, it's like their soul left their bodies.

"hiiiiiih!"

Did I really beat them? I don't remember every one of them...

"I-It's good to see you!" And they bow in a 90º, it's rare to see one of those nowadays

"Heh~ Are you seeing this, Yoshino-kun? One glance at me and they knew that they have to bow down in my presence..." Nobara slaps Junpei's arms and poses narcissistically

"We haven't seen you for a long time, Fushiguro-san!" They continue.

"Eh?" And her moment is broken.

"..." The three turn to look at me strangely. This is kinda weird...

"Oy Oy Oy, what do we have here, huh?" Nobara grabs my jaw to make me look at her, I remember this scene too, it's as funny as I remember.

"Nothing much... My Middle School Lore goes crazy." I say with a calm face

"Lore my ass! I don't believe in you! Oy, Baka A, Baka B, tell us! How do you know this guy?" She turns to ask them

"Eh... Fushiguro-san is kinda of a legend in this school..." One of them says sheepishly "He beat us and all delinquents from here..."

"More like a legend of the region. He beat up all the delinquents around here. No one dared to step out the line with him here." The other adds.

"..." Now I'm feeling bashful, almost blushing...

"..." Nobara robotically turns to me "So you're a delinquent... In some way, I'm not that surprised."

"Hey! I beat some of them a little and suddenly a lot came to challenge me, so I decided to skip the trouble and go beat all of them together." I explain myself

"With your no-friends face, I'm equally not surprised that people would have trouble with you." This woman is really not wasting the opportunity to have some shots at me

"I just wanted to create a safe environment for my sister." I reveal, at this point, there's no reason to hide it

"You have a sister??" My two classmates stare at me in Shock

"Step-sister really..."

"..."

"...and she is my girlfriend, first of all." I can't resist... I need to see their faces~

They don't disappoint.

"......."

"I knew it! You're a Fuckerguro!!" Nobara yells as she points at me "You're a beast! You don't even let your sister pass???"

"Step-sister..." I correct "And Hmpf... I'm not letting you pass." I scoff when giving her a look that makes her shudder almost imperceptibly

Junpei also stares at me in shock.

"I think I will really worry for my mom now..." He murmurs

"Relax, do you really think that I would non-ironically hit on your mom?" I ask with my best innocent face

"..."

"..."

""" Yes. """ The three answer together.

"..." Okay, maybe I have a reputation. But I don't care... "Don't think you're safe either, Nita-san." I whisper at her too.

"Stop it, you beast!" Nobara is right now practically mounting my back when she pulls my hair and cheeks

"You need to go through some steps before having the right to get jealous, Chubbysaki." I say while keeping my cool

"Oya, Fushiguro-kun?" I hear a voice calling me from behind

Ah yes, there's this old guy too.

...........

We have, more or less, the same talk of canon.

Old man Takeda told us about the strange incident where the victims were found unconscious under that bridge, the four swearing that they didn't know what happened.

"Don't you remember anything, Fushiguro-kun?" Nita-san asks me.

When I look at her, she looks away blushing.

Damn, some women are easy~

"Yes, I heard of that rumor... In truth, I even went to this bridge in the past."

"Seriously?"

"Why?"

Junpei and Nobara asked me respectively.

"Training, duh. I would often go out at night, I'm stronger at night, by the way, to kill curses around here... This is my turf. It was good training too." I really went there, remembering that a finger of Sukuna may be there "But I really found nothing beyond some weak curses that I exorcized."

"And seeing that the murders happened recently, it has nothing to do with the curses you killed." Nita-san completes.

"Did you receive payment for going around killing curses even before entering Jujutsu High?" Nobara asks me "What a waste I could've accumulated some money..." She says regrettably

"No, I did it because I wanted to keep Tsumiki safe... That's the difference between you and me, Chubbysaki." I mock while pointing at her.

While Chubbysaki is angrily pulling my cheeks, I will pull hers later... asscheeks I mean... Ahem, while Kugisaki is having a fit, Nita-san sighs in disappointment.

"Do you mean that the bridge is not a clue too?" She looks so defeated, she really wants to complete this job, huh? She is new.

"Not necessarily. I didn't go there for more than a year... It could also be a Curse that only appears in certain conditions, like during the full moon or something. We should check the bridge but at night... After Midnight at least."

"Why after Midnight?" Junpei asks

"It's when the barrier between two worlds grows thinner~ WoOooOo~" I explain while making ghost noises, but I stop quickly and shrug "There are certain truths in superstition, you know? It had to come from somewhere..."

"I see..."

"Argh, so this will be a long job." Nobara sighs "My beauty sleep..." She groans

Yep, we are gonna have to keep guard all night.

We go to buy some supplies and we meet one of the thugs, carrying a girl on his bike.

"Who is this guy?" Nobara asks after he stops in front of us

"Baka B." I say

"Fushiguro-san!" he calls me

"Yes...?"

"I was thinking about what we talked about earlier... I even commented with my sister... Oh, this is my sister, she introduces her to us."

"Long time not see, Fushiguro-kun..." She bows to us politely.

"Eh... Hello..." I don't remember her name... It's not my fault, she is not a baddie.

She gives me a sad smile "It's normal that you don't remember, you and I never talked before." Yeah, but we are in the same class... "And you are always just minding your own business."

"...I am bad with names, but I remember you." I try to help.

"Heh, okay..."

"What do you want to talk about with us?" Nita-san interrupts. Thank you for the save!

"Ah yes! When my little brother told me, I knew that I needed to talk with you guys..." She looks scared.

Then, while trembling, she recounts her tale of how she participated in a Test of Courage, how she heard of those people dying in front of doors, and her recent experience with a door herself...

"...I swear that there's something there." She says with a trembling voice while looking down "I had a panic attack and didn't enter or get closer... It's a door of my father's shop, so I don't need to go there and now I'm avoiding it..."

"..." We share a look between ourselves.

Good instincts, girlie.

"Calm down, calm down~" Nita-san addresses her with a relaxed smile "We are simply studying the effects of electromagnetic waves in certain spots and how they alter human perception. Haha! Ghosts? A tale as old as human civilization! Haha!"

To the girl's own peace of mind and safety, Nita-san lies while continuing to ask about her experience, using the research as an excuse.

Eventually, the girl relaxed... I think she is coping, it's better to believe what Nita-san is saying than that I a ghost is trying to kill her. The human brain rationalizes what they want...

The girl, whom I still do not bother to know the name of, looked relieved, and before she and her brother, Baka B, went on their way she turned to me.

"Ah yes, Fushiguro-kun... I remember that Tsumiki-san almost participated in the Test of Courage, but you stopped her."

"..." Obviously, duh. "I just did not want her to go out at night..."

I'm a fucking Jujutsu Sorcerer, do you think I would let my sweet sister go into dark and haunted places? As fucking if! I did not even need to know canon to know that it was a bad idea.

 With a last bow, the duo of brother and sister, ride the bike away.

"Good thing you stopped your sister from participating..." Nobara comments

"Hmpf. And I remember some of her friends saying that I was abusive and controlling." And some of her friends are into it "Who is on the right now?"

I turn to Junpei

"See, Junpei-kun? You need to have a tight leash on your woman, show who is in charge-" *Pah*

As predicted, Nobara doesn't take my joke well.

"Are you feeling in charge now?" She asks after slapping my head.

I will forgive her this time, because I was not serious, but I will spank her back... She shouldn't play with a competitive misogynist like myself.

..............

"Do we really need to go through this whole process?" Junpei asks as we walk in the small forest under the bridge

"Yes, there's symbolism in doing things properly. Like a Ritual..." I explain "It's small, but there's a river ahead, it symbolizes the crossing to the other world... it's also where the Test of Courage ends."

"Sometimes Jujutsu is unnecessarily complicated." He says

"It looks that way, because the rules are not really rules, but it's very simple."

You can't write an explanation about Jujutsu without a lot of amendments saying things like "But if you do that...", "This can be ignored this way", "in this situation is different..." etc etc.

That's why people are mad at Sukuna, it looks like an asspull but he simply abuses this flawed system.

We finally reach the small river.

"I trained close to here... In that direction, this river gets bigger." I say casually. "This forest always had a small curse or two..."

"And you never thought that was weird?" Nobara asks

"No, it's a thick forest that people can get lost and scared in..." I say "I didn't think much of it."

Maybe it was Sukuna's finger... But why did I never find it? I searched here before... It was in some Hidden barrier? Like a pocket dimension? Or the curse that ate it was hidden in hibernation?

No use thinking about it now...

"Ready? We are probably jumping into an Innate Domain." I say

"Will it be dangerous?" Junpei asks as he readies himself with his Moon Dregs.

"It always is... But I think this Domain would simply increase the power of the curse and its abilities." I say "If it has a sure-hit effect I will protect you guys... That's why I want you to learn Simple Domain, see now?"

"Okay, okay. Let's end this quickly, I want to go home." Nobara rolls her eyes, she is allergic to training, this woman.

"One, two..." I start.

"Do we really need to do it together? So childish..." Once again she interrupts me

"..." I turn to her and without warning grab her like a sack of potatoes

"Hey!"

"If we enter in different moments we can be separated, you should know that!"

Then carrying her like that I grab Junpei by the collar, he doesn't deserve it, but collective responsibility is a thing.

I jump to the other side of the small river... Space shifts and distorts, and when my feet hit the ground we are in another place. In a cave with some weird mushroom-like protrusions all over the place.

"Yep, it's here..." I put them down

"Damn you, Fuckerguro!" Nobara rages as her ass hits the ground

"Where is the curse?" Junepi adapts faster

"Anywhere... Let's Search for it." I say ignoring Nobara's shouts walking forward with my hands in my pockets.

"Stop trying to look cool!"

"I am cool. Hm?" Something is approaching at a fast speed... Ah yes!

*Bam*

As Nobara was ready to continue our banter, I moved fast, putting my forearm in front of her face, stopping the attack that was aiming at her like a volleyball player would save the ball with his wrist.

"What is that?" Junpei asks in shock "Is that the curse?"

"Hmm..." I give a glance around "I would say that the mole-mushroom things are the curse of this bridge because... you know... It appears to be tied here..." I comment, they finally notice the strange things looking at us, their heads poking out of the ground.

"And what is this one then?"

The question is half-answered by the curse itself "I will not let you have it." The thing I know is one of the Death Paintings says

"'It' what?" Nobara frowns, grabbing her things, ready to battle.

But then she is pulled somewhere.

"..." In that split seconds, I see two male arms pulling her clothes... Debating with myself, I let her be taken for Character Development sake, but hiding Divine Werewolf in her shadow.

"Brother..." The Death Painting says in what I think is a happy tone before jumping like a frog to the small portal that just kidnapped Nobara.

"Junpei... Follow it."

"Eh?"

It's not a suggestion, I grab him by the collar, and with a spin I throw him at the Death Painting.

"Gwoh!"

I hit it perfectly, the two spun in a mess of limbs, together with the Moon Dregs, and went straight through the portal.

"If I'm not wrong they use poison, so Junpei should be good..." I comment before turning around and addressing the cave. "I know that there's a Finger Bearer here, so can you appear already?"

"..."

No answer. Aw, man~ Troublesome...

With a sigh, I crouch down and touch the ground "I'm not gonna play whack-a-mole with you... Black Hole."

Darkness is poured from my body like a dam bursting open, it goes in all directions with considerable force, like a flood. It hits and covers all the ground, drowning all bodies of this Yasohachi Bridge Curse.

*Bam*

With a last push, everything that my darkness covered was absorbed and then crushed under the weight of the darkness.

Standing up while the flood of darkness recedes to me "Now, you need to show up, right?" I look up.

And as expected, a big flower-like cocoon starts to tremble, it was not there before. Maybe it's necessary to destroy all the fake bodies before awakening the main body.

With a wet sound, the Finger Bearer falls to the ground landing perfectly after a flip.

"You have the same dumb face as your brother..." I comment.

It obviously doesn't answer, keeping that dumb smile on its face, it creates an arrow construct of cursed energy and shoots at me...

"Oh! Only now do I notice this is like Sukuna's Fire Arrow! Nice foreshadowing..." I didn't catch that before...

What I catch is the arrow that flew at me, well... I slapped it away, making it disperse in all directions.

"You know... In Canon, Sukuna killed your brother with a Domain Expansion..." I start saying, taking my other hand from my pocket "Similarly, in canon, you die to a Domain Expansion too... So..."

Allowing a smile to spread to my face I put my hands together...

"You will be the test subject... Please, put up some fight... I want to test all of it..."

"Domain Expansion..."

.................

Third Person P.O.V.

Outside the barrier of the Innate Domain, different from Canon, the sorcerers don't have someone as fast as Itadori so they are trapped between the two Special-grade hybrids, Eso and Kechizu.

"You should have just taken up my offer and gone away, little lady." Eso says as he uses his technique, wings of blood sprout from his back "Now that you have seen my back, I can't let you live."

"Hmpf, Even if I went away, that monster would fuck you up, but it would leave a bad taste in my mouth!" Nobara shouts "I don't want to owe him shit!"

"Very well then..." Eso says.

He and Kechizu, coordinate a pincer attack on the two Young sorcerers. Eso rains blood on them from the front and above, while Kechizu uses his great speed to run a circle around them and spit blood at them from the sides.

"Kugisaki!" Junpei shouts

With his signal the two retreat together, the Moon Dregs covers them the best it can, but even the huge jellyfish shikigami can't cover them completely.

Some blood hits Nobara's left hand and Junpei's leg. In the next second flowery patterns appear on their burning skin.

"Heh~" Eso smiles satisfied "It doesn't matter if its just a centimeter of your skin, now that you're infected by our blood, your body will slowly decay... That's our technique!"

To make the decay go faster Eso "shows his hand", making the technique more effective.

But surprisingly the two sorcerers are calm... It was beaten on their head the teaching of never panic by their senpais and Megumi;

"Your blood?" Nobara asks with a strange smile

"Poison?" Junpei asks too, his eyes dark

"Then we are the worse match-up for you two!" They practically said at the same time and moved roughly at the same time.

The Moon Dregs' tentacles sting shots at the two sorcerers, stabbing them more or less in the infected places. The two tentacles suck out the infected blood, maybe a little too much to make sure, but nonetheless, the two are free of the Technique.

"Yoshino-kun, do you mind cutting it up?" Nobara asks, still with the same strange smile.

The previous pain and now the light-heartedness because of the loss of blood left her in a strange state of mind, dangerous even.

"Not at all..." Yoshino doesn't hesitate.

He commands the Moon Dregs to detach its own tentacles filled with infected blood.

Eso and Kechizu, seeing what just happened, obviously would not stay put, they advance to attack them too.

"Let me test this now~" Nobara tightens her grip on her new hammer and takes two nails from the pocket of her holster.

But different from normal nails, these ones are pitch black and pass a strange feeling to whoever looks at them.

"...Resonance!" She hits the two detached tentacles with a nail each.

"!!"

"Ugh!"

The two hybrid' curses fall to their knees and are immediately in huge pain.

"Do you like it? Huh?" Nobara mocks with a big smile.

Those nails are obviously special...

They were made by Mai with the help of Ankoku which was filled with Megumi's special Cursed Energy. His Cursed Energy's unique propriety of darkness passed to the nails.

So not only can Nobara damage the target of her technique, but with those nails she can literally... nail them to the ground with the weight of increased gravity.

Megumi theorizes that it can do more... but this is a story of the future.

"Oh? You can't move? What a pity~" Nobara puts a finger on her lips, like she is pondering something "It's not like I enjoy bullying helpless enemies!" She said that but her face says otherwise.

With a huge smile, she turns to Kechizu, the younger brother, with her new Special Grade Hammer. Ready to test how much damage her new toy can do...

"N-No..." Eso groans in agony seeing the crazy sorcerer woman dash at his brother 'Ugh, it's hard to even circulate my cursed energy...'

But he can do nothing... Those nails are Megumi's ridiculous cursed energy condensed, it's not something he can shrug off that easily.

Nobara herself, only has three of them in her possession at the moment.

"You destroyed my uniform, huh? You think it's okay to leave scars on a dame's skin, huh? You showed me your technique, huh?" Nobara shouts, she is having a good feeling. This mission annoyed her since the beginning... Wasting time, walking in a muddy forest, a guy grabbed her and sprayed her with blood... She was pissed and now she has the opportunity to payback "Then let me show you this!" She is feeling super good right now.

Black Sparks fly...*CLANG* ░▒▓█BLACK FLASH█▓▒░

The Upper part of Kechizu's body explodes with the impact of her hammer.

"Heeh~ You're next~" She turns to the aghast Eso with a creepy smile, she is feeling herself right now.

"Kechizu... Young brother..." But Eso doesn't even register the threat, he cries at the sight of his dead brother. Having flashbacks of the past, of their recent talks, of the years together as Cursed Wombs, of their recent addition to the family... "I failed you... I failed you all, brothers..." He cries

His reaction is so extreme that even makes the high Nobara pause, this allows her to give another look a the half-corpse of the curse.

'It's not disappearing...' She realizes, this cleanses her mind 'Are they curse users?'

*Swish*

A sharp sound echoes and suddenly Megumi appears close to Eso, his hand in the top of the head of the hybrid. Eso goes stiff, not daring to move.

"..." Everyone was surprised by his sudden appearance, but his face was calm.

He looks around, seemingly assessing the situation... His eyes move to the half corpse, then to Junpei, then to Nobara...

"..." He gives her a long look.

Then without a word *Crack* he twists Eso's neck. It was brutal, he rolled his head like he was unscrewing it, the head hanging limply by the, now thin, neck in an unnatural direction.

"..." Nobara watched this happening with an indescribable look on her face.

"That's a wrap then... let's go back." Megumi says like nothing happened

"Did you kill the Bridge Curse?" Junpei asks

"Of course, I even got that." Megumi waves something at his face

"What is that?" Junpei tries to evade the suspicious object

"Sukuna's finger." *Nhac* And he eats it "Oops~"

"Yew" His two classmates show disgusted faces.

"Let's go back." Megumi repeats himself, then he goes to collect the corpses of the hybrids.

He debated what to do with the two brothers, but the issue was kinda taken from his hands. He was not gonna stop Nobara from having her moment.

Also, in Sukuna's Mission, there's a bonus objective that says that he can gain the Technique of the Death Paintings if he eats them after he defeats Sukuna.

What eating the Death Painting has to do with Sukuna he doesn't know, but he doesn't care... It means he can gain the Inherited Technique of the Kamo clan, no reason to refuse. It's not that special, but it's a nice bonus.

'Ah, I kinda liked Choso... Too bad.' He thinks just with a little hint of regret, but he is not gonna let any parasocial relationship that he created with a 2D character go as far as to stop him from getting strong. 

He doesn't think would be possible to solve this peacefully… Maybe capturing the two, but then Choso could try something that would deviate from canon. Shibuya is so close… It's his big stage, he can't have mishaps now just because he wants to save someone who would kill him if they had the chance.

And Nobara closed that door by rightfully killing the younger brother, he will not blame her for that. That's why he killed the older brother to share the blame.

Megumi is not a good guy, and he is getting tired of letting his enemies escape too. Gojo is getting suspicious 'But I will be sad if Choso happens to be a girl...'

"How are you feeling, Kugisaki?" He hears Junpei asking and turns his attention back to the real world

"Huh? About what?" She frows at him confused, but anyone can see that is a little exaggerated.

"About you killing someone for the first time." Megumi butts in, straight to the heart of the question.

"Hmm..." She pouts in a pensive expression. "I don't think I care that much... It's too exhausting to care about these things, so I have limited space in my heart and mind. Sorry, but I will not mourn two guys that tried to kill me."

"Understandable" Megumi answers

"Does this make me a bad person?" She asks with a smile

"No, just a person." Megumi answers easily "And you Junpei?"

"I... I'm surprisingly in the same boat... I'm surprised that I'm not that affected. I should've been feeling something, right?" He says while scratching his head "Maybe it's like Kugisaki said, I don't care about the people I don't know."

Megumi nods "I'm like that too, but even worse... Don't feel bad. Even the ones that I save, I just save them to feel good about myself... Death is a bummer." He turns to stare at Junpei "Even you, Junpei-kun. When I saved you, I really did not care about you... It's kinda... it's within my reach and costs nothing, so why not?" He confess

"...at least you saved me." Junpei says without feeling offended.

Megumi chuckles at his reaction, or lack of it.

He then continues "Even you all now... Kugisaki said that there are few spots in her heart, in my case... There are levels in my heart... Tsumiki, Maki, Mai, Gojo... I will be really sad and pissed if something happens to them... The rest like you guys..." He pauses "I will be a little sad, I confess... But I would get over it quickly."

"..."

"That's why I make you all train seriously, I don't want to have 'get over your death'. It would suck..."

"..."

"By the way, don't feel bad about what happened here tonight... The fault falls entirely on my shoulders." Megumi suddenly says while looking forward.

"??" His two classmates look confused

"Sukuna's finger... The first death was in July... The month that I ate his finger and consequently awakened the King of Curses. It's all my fault." He reveals, but his face doesn't betray any feeling of remorse or guilt.

"..."

"...you didn't know..." Junpei says to help

"No need to console me. I do not care." Megumi interrupts him "My way of life is that I don't plan to live with regret... I did what was the best decision at that time. Did some people suffer the consequences of my actions? Too bad for them."

"..."

"I live giving my all... You all sometimes think I'm weird or cringe, but I'm only extracting 100% of my life in this world. People like me and Gojo need to make life interesting in some way, acting normal is boring... I'm no sheep to follow people's common sense and social rules." He looks at the night sky through the trees "You know... as you live, sometimes you step on other people. If you get into your dream school, it means that someone didn't... That's life. We don't think about it, but it is the reality. Everyone is the predator and prey... Everyone can be sheep to another someone."

"..." They hear his words carefully.

"By tomorrow I will forget about these four guys that died and continue to live my best life, acting as I want."

He turns to them one last time and says "You need to be strong, you two. Being strong allows you to live the life you want and protect this lifestyle from other people." He goes back to walk ahead

"Who knows when the consequences of someone else's actions can fall on your head, right? This world is unfair and unreasonable. Don't be sheep."

Author's Note: Hello there

Just a reminder that Megumi is not a good guy, sorry if you will not save your liked characters. He is not the fairy godmother, I'm tired of goody two-shoes contractors.

I think now I figured out how the Shibuya incident will go. Who will fight who and all that… It will be the beginning of the end.

Next chapter we will see the reaction of the villain's side, and Megumi seducing some girls. The last calm…

Bye Bye
