Chapter 13: The First Battle
The four of them stood in front of the abandoned building, its crumbling facade exuding an oppressive aura of cursed energy.
Nobara wrinkled her nose at the sight.
"What is this? The set of a horror movie?" Akira muttered.
Yuji grinned nervously. "Feels like it, huh?"
Gojo clapped his hands to get their attention. "Alright, kids, listen up. This building's been plagued by some low-grade curses. Nothing you can't handle."
Yuji raised his hand. "Uh, sensei? I still can't use cursed energy properly."
Gojo sighed dramatically. "Fine, fine. Here." He handed Yuji a knife, its blade gleaming with faint cursed energy. "This baby should do the trick."
Yuji held it up, inspecting it.
Akira added,"Feels like I'm in an action movie now."
Gojo smirked. "Just don't drop it. Now, Nobara and Yuji, you'll handle the small fries inside. Akira…"
Akira perked up, expecting a similar assignment.
"…you can watch the show with us,Afterall even the first grades are easy peasy for you" Gojo finished with a playful grin.
"Excuse me, what?" Akira balked.
"You've got it in you, kid. Don't let me down."
"I hate you," Akira muttered under his breath.
Gojo ignored him and ushered Yuji and Nobara toward the entrance. "Off you go, kiddos. Megumi ,Akira and I will stay here and supervise."
"Supervise? You're just going to stand around!" Nobara accused, but Gojo waved her off with a cheery laugh.
Inside, Yuji and Nobara navigated the eerie hallways. The air was thick with cursed energy, and the walls seemed to close in on them.
"This place gives me the creeps," Yuji said, gripping his knife tightly.
"Focus," Nobara snapped. "We've got a job to do."
While ranting the two separated their ways to exorcise the cursed.
The two quickly encountered their first curses respectively—a grotesque, humanoid creature with twisted limbs.
Yuji charged forward, slashing at it with surprising precision killing it.It was his first time but he handled everything like a pro.
"Die," Nobara roared as she exorcised curses with her hammer and nails.
Then they started operating alone
Everything was normal at first, but things took a dark turn when Nobara found herself face-to-face with a curse holding a young boy hostage.
The curse-it was intelligent,that's the difference between the curses from countryside and main city.
Nobara froze, her hammer clutched tightly. "This wasn't in the briefing."
The curse sneered, laughing disgustingly. "Make a move, and this one dies."
Nobara slowly lowered her hammer, gritting her teeth. "Alright. I surrender."
While nobara surrendered Yuji punched through the other side of wall slightly missing the other side of head.
Outside, Gojo lounged casually on a nearby bench while Megumi stood with his arms crossed. Akira, however, sat on the ground with his eyes half-closed, fully activating his space-time perception
"So, what do you think?" Gojo asked, turning to Akira.
"About what?" Akira replied, his voice distracted as he monitored the fight inside.
"Yuji's got raw potential," Gojo explained. "His fighting style is pure instinct—aggressive, straightforward, but with a surprising amount of adaptability. Nobara, on the other hand, is precise and calculated. Her Resonance technique is her ace in the hole."
Megumi glanced at Akira. "Can you really see what's happening in there?"
"Sort of," Akira admitted.
"My space time perception far surpass others or equals to Sensei's Six eyes,it's best for scouting and teleportating."
"As for other things … I can't feel the flow of cursed energy and movement. Not as detailed as Gojo-sensei's Six Eyes, Unless i activate my technique though."
Gojo chuckled. "Well, it's good enough to know ."
When the curse inside took the child hostage, Akira tensed.
Gojo remained neutral
"This is where it gets tricky," Gojo murmured.
As Yuji missed his punch and Nobara stood frozen, the tension in the air snapped something inside Akira. His body moved on its own, his cursed energy surging uncontrollably.
Through his Boundless Imperium, Akira instinctively channeled a space slash, technique similar to Sukuna's Cleave.
A sharp wave of slashing energy erupted near the curse accross the space, cutting cleanly through the curse while leaving the child unharmed.
The curse shrieked before trying to run away.
Akira's eyes widened in disbelief . "What… did I just do?"
Gojo whistled, clearly impressed. "Not bad, kid. Not bad at all."
Megumi stared at him, incredulous. "Did you just imitate a technique like Sukuna's?"
"I… I didn't mean to," Akira stammered, still trying to process what had happened.
Inside, Yuji and Nobara wasted no time taking advantage of the situation, before the curse could run away Nobara used her puppet technique to kill it.
The two stood panting in the aftermath, exchanging a look of relief.
"What was that slash just now?" Yuji asked, glancing around.
Nobara shrugged. "Who cares? It saved us."
Back outside, Gojo stretched and yawned. "Well, that wraps things up nicely. Time to collect our heroes."
Akira remained seated, still staring at his hands. The weight of what he had just done lingered heavily in his mind.
"Come on, don't overthink it," Gojo said, clapping him on the back. "You've got talent, Akira. Embrace it."
"Talent?" Akira muttered. " Really?…"
As the group reunited, Nobara immediately started bragging about her contributions, while Yuji chimed in with exaggerated tales of his knife skills.
**
Akira, however, stayed quiet, his thoughts racing amidst them.
"Unlike Kamui, Sukuna's Cleave and Dismantle are simplified slashes, achievable through Boundless Imperium," Kira thought. "But I can refine it... slashing with just a thought."
Amid the lively banter, Gojo grinned. "This is just the beginning, kids. Things are only going to get crazier."
Kira was excited. "Great. Just what I needed."
Kira analysed each battle Very clearly and was improving day by day .
He is still adapting to his new Sorcerer life, an unusual identity
