During a mission in the forest, you and the first-years—Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi—split up to exorcise a cursed spirit targeting women. With Gojo Satoru overseeing, you and Nobara worked together, swiftly eliminating a curse. Nobara admired your skill as you guided her through her own exorcism.

Reuniting with Yuji and Megumi, you sensed a stronger presence above. Using your Nullification Technique, you negated the curse’s ability, revealing a grotesque half-dog, half-human spirit.

"Women… beautiful… mine… I’ll put my babies inside them," it rasped.

Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi cringed while you remained calm, blocking its attack. But suddenly, your Nullification was disrupted—something only a few from your Shinraki Clan could do. Before you could react, the spirit lunged, pinning you down, ripping your uniform jacket and shirt.

Before the cursed spirit could do anything else, a blinding flash of blue tore through the air. In an instant, the creature was obliterated, its remains scattering like dust.

Gojo Satoru stood over you, his blindfold pushed up, revealing his piercing blue eyes darkened with rage. His usual playful demeanor was gone, replaced by something cold and lethal.

"Sarena-chan~," he drawled, but there was no teasing in his tone. His fingers twitched, barely restraining himself from leveling the entire forest. "I take my eyes off you for one second, and this happens?"

Gojo pulled off his coat and draped it over your shoulders, his touch surprisingly gentle. Then, his gaze shifted to the space where the cursed spirit had been.

"Whoever blocked your technique," he murmured, a chilling smirk curling on his lips, "they're dead the moment I find them. "
