All in a Day's Work(Part-1)

"Satoru Gojo... even if we all attack him at once, we can't kill him, huh?" Jogo muttered as he sat in front of Geto.

"Rather than killing, I recommend you devote all your energy to affixing a seal," Geto suggested. "He'll either make an effortless escape or, in the worst-case scenario, exorcise every one of you."

"A seal?" Jogo questioned. "What kind of seal can hold that bastard?"

"We will be using a Special Grade cursed tool, the Prison Realm," Geto responded with a slight smirk on his face.

As Geto talked with the representative of the disaster spirits, unbeknownst to them, a man was staring intensely at their table.

The man stared at the table where Geto sat, fear lacing his eyes. Cold sweat formed on his face as his body trembled. He could naturally feel the presence of the curse spirits sitting on the table.

"PRISON REAL!" Jogo yelled loudly as bits of lava erupted from his head. "DO YOU REALLY HAVE THAT CURSED OBJECT?!" 

"Don't get so excited, Jogo; it's starting to get hot," Geto responded, neither confirming nor denying the claim.

"Table 5 is not ordering anything at all; someone go there and check it out," a man wearing the manager badge complained at the back of the kitchen.

"I am sorry, manager!" The man who was staring at the table said as he stumbled towards the back door."I quit today!" The man yelled as he hurriedly left the restaurant. 

"Huh?" "Hey, wait a minute!" The manager tried to talk to the guy, but the man had already left the restaurant, fearing for his life.

"Should I go?" the waitress asked as she stood beside the manager.

"No, it should be fine. I will check it out myself," the manager responded as he started to make his way towards the table where Geto was sitting.

"Dear Customer," the manager called to him in a polite tone. "Are you ready to-" However, before the man could even complete his sentence, his whole body burst into flames.

"KYAAHAHAHAHA!" Jogo laughed maniacally.

"I would prefer if you didn't make a huge scene," Geto stated with a blank look on his face.

"This much is fine, isn't it?" Jogo responded as humans within the vicinity, with the exception of Geto, burst into flames.

"I am glad I didn't pick an expensive restaurant," Geto stated as he held his nose, trying to block the smell of charred human flesh.

"Geto! How many of Sukuna's fingers is my strength equal to?" Jogo questioned.

"If I overestimate, 8-9 fingers should be it," Geto responded.

 "Give me the Prison Realm; I will add it to my collection," Jogo stated confidently.

"Instead, I will kill Satoru Gojo."

In the hidden rooms of Jujutsu High Tokyo, Itadori sat on a couch, holding a teddy bear, and watching a movie on the TV.

"Huh?! You just died, and you are slacking off already?" Ryusei announced as he opened the door and looked at Itadori, who seemed to be lazing around on the couch.

"Eh, Ah. It's Ryusei-san!" Itadori said as he stood from the couch, and as soon as his concentration broke, the doll in his hands punched him on his cheeks.

"Forget about that, what are you up to?" Ryusei questioned as he sat beside Itadori.

"I am training my curse control as Gojo-sensei told me to," Itadori responded as he focused again to stop the doll from hitting him.

"That must be Yaga's creation. Anyways, Satoru dumped me one of his missions. Wanna go there together?" Ryusei asked.

"Really? Am I allowed to leave?" Itadori questioned as he dropped the doll.

"Well, he did ask me to bring you along. It will serve as a decent experience," Ryusei responded.

"The mission is related to workers going missing near an abandoned sewage disposal system. We already have a barrier around it," Ryusei explained.

"It is a Grade 2 at best from what we know. Wait, do you know about the Grades of sorcerers?" Ryusei questioned.

"Ichijo-san did mention it a little," Itadori responded meekly as he tried to remember those words.

"Well, there are many Grades of cursed spirits out there; however, the ones that start to become a threat start from Grade-4."

"The rankings of curses and sorcerers go as follows: Grade 4, Semi-Grade-3, Grade-3, Semi-Grade-2, Grade 2, Semi-Grade-1, Grade 1, Special Grade-1, Special Grade."

"With Grade 4 being the bottom of the barrel, and Special Grade being the strongest ones out there, currently, there are only three Special Grade Sorcerers in the world, and all three are from Japan."

"Excuse me, sensei!" Itadori interrupted as he raised his hand.

"Yes, Yuji-kun!" Ryusei responded, matching his energy.

"That means Gojo-sensei is a Special Grade, right?" Itadori questioned.

"That's a given. Even among the Special Grade, there is no one that can match his destructive capabilities," Ryusei responded.

"For your information, my formal rank is Special Grade 1," Ryusei declared.

"Woah, so that makes you the fourth strongest in the world?" Itadori questioned.

"Just on the formal rankings? Yes, however, in a 1v1, I am confident even against Satoru," Ryusei stated with a smirk on his face.

"I even have strong classmates by my side. I sure am lucky to be surrounded by you all," Itadori stated with a smile on his face.

"Cheeky brat," Ryusei remarked under his breath as he smiled back.

"From what I heard, you lack an inherited technique, right? Well, you should not worry much; this is a gift in itself. Now you can purely focus on martial arts," Ryusei stated.

"However, for you to reach the greatest heights, you need to know what type of martial arts suits you," Ryusei advised.

"Suit me? Won't just learning a couple of them do?" Itadori questioned.

"It will do if you wish to remain weak all your life. To bring out your full potential, you need a proper master whose teachings align with you. Have you thought of any specific martial arts you want to learn?" Ryusei questioned.

"Not really, I heard Muay Thai and Boxing are really effective ones," Itadori responded.

"Indeed, both of them have really practical use in fights. Sadly, I don't really know how to teach you properly, but for the short term, I can cover the basics for the two," Ryusei stated.

"Also a little birdie informed me that you broke your Slaughter Demon. Here, take these," Ryusei said as he presented Itadori with a set of knuckles.

"I used them a lot when I was Grade 3; they should be of good use to you," Ryusei added.

"When you apply curse energy on them, spikes protrude out of them. Even without that gimmick, they should help you as an extra force in your punches," Ryusei informed.

"Now then, preparations are complete. It's time to head out for fu-for a mission!"
