CHAP 2

Everyone stared in shock as a brilliant light erupted from Megumi's body. Everyone thought that this could be Megumi’s ability .Sukuna felt something strange from Megumi and thought : “ So it’s really might be him but how is that possible ”

Gojo immediately ends the mission and orders everyone back .Megumi collapsed from exhaustion, remembering nothing of what had just occurred. Yuji and nobara rushed to his side and carried him to the school infirmary

In the infirmary Megumi saw a strange dream The same old man from the street appears in the dream, standing beneath a moonlit sky.

He said: “I warned you because I saw the mark upon you. Others will see it too, and not all of them come as friends.”Megumi tried to ask what he meant, but before the words left his mouth, the old man dissolved into mist.

Megumi woke up startled and saw that he was in the infirmary as soon he woke up yuji and nobara bombarded him with tons of questions;What was that light? , How did you do that? ,Are you hiding your real power?" Megumi didn’t know what they were talking about and was confused

Yuji: You glowed like a human flashlight! Do it again!

Megumi: I almost passed out.

Nobara: Yeah, but it was pretty cool.

Megumi: I'm surrounded by idiots.

Megumi asked them to shutup soon enough both of them closed their mouth

Megumi groaned in pain as his pain only increased Elsewhere, A single message appeared on Sukuna's phone: 'The vessel has awakened. Watch the boy named Megumi. Do not underestimate him.'

Megumi swung his legs over the side of the infirmary bed and stood up. “I’m fine now,” he said, brushing off the nurse’s concern. “I can walk back to the dorm myself.”

Before he could take another step, Yuji was already beside him.

“No way. I’m coming with you.”

Megumi frowned. “You don’t have to.”

“I know I don’t have to,”

Yuji replied. “I want to.It’s only a short walk.”

And you collapsed a few hours ago,

Yuji shot back. “If you get dizzy again, who’s going to catch you?”

Megumi sighed, realizing there was no point arguing. “You worry too much.”

“Maybe,” Yuji admitted with a small grin, “but I’d rather worry too much than leave you alone.”

Nobara, watching from the doorway, smirked. “Just let him escort you already. He’s been hovering around this infirmary since you passed out.”Nobara left them because she had some urgent work to deal with

Megumi glanced at Yuji, who scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment.

“Fine,” Megumi muttered. “You can come.”

Yuji’s expression brightened instantly. Without another word, he matched Megumi’s pace as they walked out of the infirmary together, keeping close enough to steady him if he stumbled but careful not to make it obvious.

Megumi went to take a shower and yuji went to buy some snacks he turned on the shower and let the cold water run over him. The chill stole his breath for a moment, but it helped clear the haze from his mind. He stood there in silence, letting the steady stream wash away the exhaustion and dried blood from the mission.

Despite the refreshing cold, questions kept circling in his thoughts. Why had he collapsed? What was the strange light everyone claimed to have seen? And why couldn't he remember any of it?

When he stepped out and wrapped a towel around his shoulders, there was a knock at the door.

“Megumi?” Yuji's voice called from outside who had just got back from the convenience store. “Just checking in. You okay?”

Megumi paused before answering. “Yeah. I'm fine.”

There was a brief silence before Yuji replied, “Good. If you need anything, let me know.”

A faint smile crossed Megumi's face. “I will.”

Only after hearing Yuji's footsteps fade down the hallway did Megumi finish getting dressed, still unable to shake the feeling that something inside him had changed

Goje went to the organisation and frowned as he reviewed the reports. The energy surrounding Megumi matched descriptions from ancient records, but he couldn't be certain. If his suspicion was correct, protecting the boy had just become humanity's highest priority because he was the core seed for curses
