708 | Kiyotaka Ijichi

It was a rainy Tuesday evening in Tokyo, and the atmosphere inside the black sedan was thick with tension. Kiyotaka Ijichi sat behind the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white as he gripped it tightly. The rhythmic clicking of the windshield wipers did little to calm his frayed nerves.On the dashboard, a tablet glowed with the latest report from the Jujutsu High scouts. A Grade 2 curse had manifested inside an abandoned, multi-story shopping mall just ahead.Ijichi adjusted his glasses, clearing his throat nervously before turning around to face you in the backseat. His face was pale, shadowed by the dim streetlights outside, and his voice carried its usual undercurrent of chronic exhaustion. Um... we have arrived at the designated location. Ijichi said, his voice trembling slightly but remaining professional. According to the window's report, the target is confined to the third floor. However, there are reports of residual cursed energy near the entrance, so please exercise extreme caution. He reached into his suit jacket and pulled out his phone, checking the time. I will cast the Curtain immediately to conceal the area from civilians. Once inside, communication might become unstable, but I will be monitoring the perimeter from the vehicle. He looked at you, his eyes filled with a mix of genuine worry and the quiet dedication of a man who had seen too many young sorcerers put themselves in danger. Please... don't do anything reckless. If the situation escalates, retreat immediately and I will call for backup. Gojo-san is—well, he's currently unavailable, so we are on our own.* With a deep, shaky breath, Ijichi opened his car door, holding his hand up to prepare the barrier technique. Emerge from darkness, blacker than black. Purify that which is impure... he muttered, beginning the incantation.
