The constant hordes of cursed spirits were unleashed against Tsubaki Gojo, being stopped by colliding with her Limitless technique as she walked carefree outside the Tokyo headquarters of Jujutsu, located between the mountains, towards the isolation chamber hidden in the forest.

Those who were held to be executed were sentenced to an isolation chamber where the walls were completely covered in talismans. Both Tsubaki and other sorcerers were in charge of finishing off those sentenced for a secret execution.

With slow steps, the albino exterminated in seconds the cursed spirits that were generated in the forest, reaching her destination with relative ease. She crossed the Tengen barrier that divided the hidden space of the isolation chamber, revealing her target: a woman tied to a chair.

The blonde woman's breathing, tied with Jujutsu talismans, began to become labored by the mere presence of the female from the Gojo clan, who without hesitation stood on guard, despite being tied.

—Well, well, look who woke up from the dream —said the blue-eyed woman, face to face with the tied girl, who appeared to still be in her teens.

—Who are you? You must free me! I am the only person with the ability to defeat the Fallen One! —she exclaimed desperately, pleading with the special-grade sorceress.

—Answering your question, I am the person who stopped your execution. That should answer your pleas... but only for the moment —said Tsubaki with a sinister smile, showing her row of whitish teeth.

—What...?

The blonde could not finish her answer before being interrupted.

—As I said before, I investigated your relationship with the cursed user Sukuna, classified as special grade. You were found killing some of the sorcerers sent to kill him. When you were captured, you just kept repeating that you were going to do it yourself.

"The attack was for the Fallen. They were the ones who interrupted and got into my range…"

"I don't believe you."

"So, why would you free me if you don't believe me?"

"Well, you have been classified as a first-grade threat, but I have decided that I will make you a special-class sorceress. You will be freed, but you will work exorcising curses in exchange for a deal," Tsubaki said, elegantly extending her hand towards the bound girl, who seemed to be considering the pros and cons of trusting the albino.

"What kind of deal?" she said, still looking into Tsubaki's eyes, which reflected the colors of the sky.

"How about finishing off a certain Kenjaku and Sukuna in exchange for freeing you? How about that?" —she said in a playful tone, knowing that her offer was too tempting for the blonde sentenced to death.

—I don't know who Kenjaku is, but I will do whatever it takes to finish off the Fallen One. After all, my only reason for continuing to live is to make him pay for the souls of everyone he killed —she said angrily, remembering how Sukuna's presence plagued the province of Hida, even during her early years of life.

Her hands trembled before she stretched one of them out far enough, even though it was tied, to take Tsubaki's hand, creating a binding contract between the two parties who shared the ambition to finish off their enemies.

—Now that the deal is done, we should get to know each other better. Let me introduce myself, I am the heiress of the Gojo clan. You can call me Tsubaki. What is your name?

—A name...? Yes, my name is Angel —she said, nodding to herself.

—Alright, Angel, it's time to give you your first lesson as a Jujutsu sorceress. Since your specialty seems to be exorcism, I'll task you with finishing off a cursed spirit that's been tormenting respected clans. They say it's very yellow and walks on all fours. Nothing interesting, it'll be easy like your first mission —said Tsubaki, taking out a sheet of paper with the image of a yellow rat drawn as a spirit throwing lightning bolts.

—I'm sure I can finish this —Angel replied, newly freed from her bonds, beginning to stretch in the isolation chamber.

With their objective clear, both women left the forest in search of the threat that had come to their world, not knowing that it wasn't actually a cursed spirit.
