-At The Restaurant-

Jogo is killing other customers by burning them.

"Geto, how strong am I in terms of sukuna fingers?" Jogo asked

"Being generous... I'd say about eight or nine," Geto answered.

"That's plenty! Give me Prison Realm! I'll add it to my collection! In exchange, I'll kill Gojo Satoru!" Jogo said

-In Certain Apartment Buildings-

"I think it's here," Megumi tells Sasori.

Megumi then knocked on the door, and a familiar woman opened the door.

"Hello, my name is Fushiguro Megumi, and my friend is Hanamiya Sasori." Megumi introduces themselves. "We have something to tell about your son."

Megumi said.

The woman is a bit startled when Megumi says something about her son.

"Please get inside," She said politely. After they get inside, they just stand there until Sasori starts talking.

"When we arrived at the scene, your son had already passed away..." Sasori said, and it got quiet for a few seconds. "To be honest, I wasn't sure about saving people in that facility, but my friends thought otherwise. We weren't able to save him, even after we confirmed his death... They tried to bring back his body, but it was unsuccessful," He added.

'Unfortunately, the body disintegrated along with the Special-Grade's Innate Domain,' Megumi thought. "I managed to get this," Megumi said while pulling out a name tag with the name of the woman's son and giving it to her.

"I'm sorry we couldn't save Tadashi's life," Megumi said while both Megumi and Sasori bowed to the woman.

"Please don't apologize, I'm the only person who will grieve for him." The lady said this while crying.

Both Sasori and Megumi walked out of the apartment.

"We're both kinda late to the practice with our senpai," Megumi said.

"I'm not going," Sasori

"Hm? Why? Aren't you going to train for the event?" Megumi asked

"I mean, I will go train with our senpai, I think training with them will help me a lot, just not now." Sasori said

"Why?" Megumi asked

"I need to deal with something first," Sasori answered.

"...Is it your CT?" Megumi asked, remembering Sukuna saying something about how Sasori copied his CT without even seeing it.

"Yup! And I don't think I say thank you for not reporting about what I do, so thank you, Megumi," Sasori said.

"....well you must have your own reason for that. Anyhow, I need to quickly meet our senpai," Megumi said.

"Be safe," Sasori said, and both of them parted ways. Sasori pulled out his phone and called someone, and after a few beeps, someone picked up.

"Oh~ Sasori, it's rare for you to call me." A man on the other side of the line said

"Well, Gojo-sensei,can I meet you? I need to ask something," Sasori asked Gojo.

"Oh, What kind of question did you have that you can't ask on the phone?" Gojo said teasingly

"It's better to show you," Sasori said to Gojo, 'and I need to test something.'

"Are you preparing some kind of secret technique for the event? As a good teacher, I can't ignore students who ask for advice. Meet me at the training area near your dorm in two hours." Gojo said cheerfully

"Got it," Sasori said. 'That was easy' he thought.

"I'm looking forward to it, bye!" Gojo said

"Thank you, sensei." Sasori said, looking at the cloudy sky, 'Hah... I still have long way huh...' Sasori thought, "Let's just head to the training area right now and test something out." Sasori said

-In a place where the rest of the first-years and third-years train together-

"You're late, Megumi!" Maki said after seeing Megumi arrive

We can see Maki standing holding her Cursed-Tool and Inumaki just sitting on the ground while Nobara is being chased by Panda.

"Where were you?" Maki asked Megumi

"Does it matter?" Megumi answered while zipping up his uniform.

"Zen'in senpai, as Jujutsu Sorcerer, what kind of people do you want to save?" Megumi asked her

"Huh? I don't give a damn about who I save." Maki answered

"I shouldn't have asked," Megumi said.

"What?!" Maki reply

"FUSHIGURO!!!" Nobara yelled, "This isn't the time for a Q&A session! Sub me out! This school uniform is a pain. I'm gonna buy a cute tracksuit!" Nobara said this while being tossed around by Panda.

Seeing Nobara being tossed around, Megumi decides to ask Maki, "What are those two doing?"

"It's because you guys are weak in close combat." Maki replied, "First, try and win against me, then we talk," Maki added while spinning her Cursed-Tool.

-Sasori POV

'Hmm... no one's around it's good, I guess, let's see, I still have an hour and a half before sensei arrives; let's meditate.' I then sit down and close my eyes, thinking, What should I do first

'Screw it, let's start with my biggest headache, first, "Dismantle" Sukuna's CT slashing attack that aimed at inanimate objects, so how did he cut my leg and how can I hurt him using "Dismantle" if both of us are living beings...' I rack my brain, remembering when Sukuna used "Dismantle" over and over inside my head, and I found something.... I think.

'What if Sukuna's "Dismantle" IS an attack aimed at an inanimate object, but I'm just in the way when the attack is used? That would explain how the slice mark appeared on the buildings behind us when both Sukuna and I used "Dismantle", But how did I pull this technique off at that time when I didn't even understand what was going on...? My best guess is that my CT is forcing me to understand, or to be exact, forcing my brain to understand, which led me to successfully copy Sukuna's CT in exchange for severe pain in my head and blood coming out of both my eyes and mouth.... That was a rough guess, but it will do for now' I then open my eyes, stand up, and take a deep breath.

"Now that I'm done working on the theory, it's time to test it out." I said it out loud, and my eyes started to glow.
