"The mysterious curse at the art gallery?"
Your ears couldn't stop repeating the sentence Principal Yaga told you. You also couldn't believe the first sentence when he said that it would be your solo mission. Gojo usually convinced him or begged you to let him go on the mission with you.
"Yes. (Y/N). They said that the art gallery had mysteriously dragged people into their Innate Domain and they never returned. The higher-ups suspect that it must be a powerful curse spirit."
"Do you think the curse is very powerful to drag the victims into its Innate Domain?" You asked.
"We thought so. But the people who are close to the missing people don't remember them at all. It was likely they get erased from their existence."
You frowned as you felt how dangerous it would be. You might or might not survive even if you were the strongest sorcerer. You tried to calm yourself down by telling yourself that you had always to have your mission without an annoying Gojo.
"But why is Satoru not joining me on this mission? And does he know about this?" You asked out of curiosity.
Principal Yaga sighed as he lowered his arms down to the table. "I haven't and I have no intention to. We don't want him to destroy the entire gallery. The art gallery is a tourist attraction and it has many old paintings and sculptures of the famous late artist, Weiss Guertena. You know how much it costs for each of the creations. We can't take responsibility for that if it happened."
You nodded in response, agreeing with him. You wouldn't let that happen either if Gojo did something reckless and did not consider the consequences. You could still remember the time he blew up an abandoned house in the past and it got on the news.
"Yes, principal. I'll go now." You bowed your back before you left the building and closed your eyes as you were in deep thought before you sensed someone in front of you. You opened your eyes before you accidentally slapped the man's cheek.
"SATORU! YOU SCARED ME!" Satoru rubbed his cheek as he chuckled lightly, you noticed the first-year students were hiding behind the bushes. "And I see you guys. Come out." 
Yuji laughed with closed eyes as he got out of the bushes, Megumi had his blank face as usual, and Nobara was whining at the boys for exposing herself.
"So, why is the principal calling you for?" Gojo asked. You turned your gaze to him as Yuji stood beside him, Nobara stood by your side and Megumi stood between both of you. 
"I have to go on a mission. At the Guertena art gallery."
"Okay! Then we must be ready for—"
"I'm going alone." Your answer surprised all of them, especially Gojo, you both would always join each other's missions, aka him dragging you, so it was kind of rare for you guys to do their mission alone.
"Why, (Y/N)? Does the mission always have to be both of us together?"
"The principal assigned this for me alone. You better go teach Megumi and the rest as their teacher." You said before you walked past them. Gojo was greatly disappointed which made Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara notice his pout.
"Gojo-sensei, is it true that you always have a mission with (L/N)-sensei?" Yuji asked. 
"It's him who always drags her in his mission." Megumi answered which Yuji responded with a hum.
"The Guertena art gallery?" Gojo repeated the name before he slammed his fist on his palm. "Kids, we will be having a day off for us!"
"Oh no, not again." Megumi muttered as he knew what his teacher was going to do. Yuji and Nobara waited for his answer with brightened eyes. 
"We will visit the Guertena Art Gallery! And to help (L/N)-sensei with her mission!"
Yuji and Nobara yelled with excitement as they were clinging to Gojo, Megumi frowned intensely at his teacher because he was thinking of the ridiculous plan to accompany you on your mission.
"Megumi, are you joining us?!" Yuji asked. Megumi pressed his mouth flat as he kept quiet. 
"Problem solved! Megumi will go with us!" Gojo concluded for himself before they all except Megumi yelled with excitement. 
Unknownst to them, you were peeking at them behind the walls, growling with annoyance. "Satoru... I told you to not come and you want to drag them with you. Guess I have to hide from them now."

"So... here it is." You mumbled to yourself as you looked up at the tall white dull building, you looked at the gray sky as it was early afternoon and you couldn't see the aura of curses at all.
You wore your working outfit with a black slit legs dress with black pants and black heels.
You crossed your arms as you looked at the poster that said about the exhibition of Guertena's artworks at the entrance.
"𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮! 𝗪𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. 𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁, 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮. 𝗪𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮, 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵."
"Looks like I'm in the right place. Better get inside." You looked around, trying to avoid Gojo and his students as they could approach you anytime. You kept your hands inside your pants before you went inside the art gallery.
