Chapter 96 - Chapter 7: Through the Portal

The portal hummed in front of us.

A real, breathing tear between worlds.

Through it we could clearly see the forest training grounds from the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Trees swayed in the wind. The dirt path stretched across the clearing. In the distance were students wearing dark uniforms.

Everything looked completely real.

Too real.

Behind me, the students of U.A. High School were frozen.

Midoriya's notebook was shaking in his hands.

"This… this is dimensional travel… this is historically impossible…"

Denki pointed wildly.

"REN OPENED AN ANIME!"

Kirishima leaned forward excitedly.

"BRO THIS IS THE MOST MANLY THING EVER!"

Bakugo cracked his knuckles.

"…If someone strong is in there I'm fighting them."

Nearby, Tomura Shigaraki stared at the portal like he was deciding whether reality itself had broken.

"…You actually did it."

Leaning casually nearby, Dabi smirked.

"I told you this kid was insane."

Standing calmly with swirling mist, Kurogiri folded his hands.

"A remarkable dimensional bridge."

Behind everyone, Shota Aizawa rubbed his eyes slowly.

"…Ren."

"…Yeah?"

"If you destroy the fabric of reality…"

"…I'll fix it?"

"…You better."

I looked back at the portal.

At the forest.

At the other universe.

And my brain had exactly one reaction.

"OH THIS IS AWESOME."

Before anyone could stop me—

I jumped.

Straight through the portal.

The First Step

The moment I crossed through, everything shifted.

The air felt different.

Heavier somehow.

Like there was something else mixed in with it.

Energy.

Strange energy.

Cursed energy.

I landed on the dirt path and spun around.

"…I DID IT!"

Behind me, the portal still hovered in the air.

And one by one…

Everyone else started jumping through.

First came Kirishima.

He landed with a thud.

"BRO THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!"

Then Denki tripped through the portal and faceplanted.

"OW!"

Next came Midoriya, looking like he was about to faint from excitement.

"This is the world of Jujutsu Kaisen…"

Then Mina bounced through.

"FIELD TRIP!"

Bakugo blasted through the portal using explosions.

"OUT OF MY WAY!"

Soon nearly all of Class 1-A had crossed over.

Then…

The villains walked through.

Shigaraki stepped across slowly.

"…I can't believe this."

Dabi followed casually.

"Kid just broke reality for fun."

Kurogiri passed through last, observing the surroundings carefully.

"The dimensional stability appears… surprisingly intact."

The portal still hung in the air behind us.

Connecting two entire universes.

Meanwhile…

Across the clearing…

Several students had noticed.

Standing near the trees were members of the Tokyo Jujutsu High group.

Among them:

Yuji Itadori blinked.

"…Uh."

Next to him, Megumi Fushiguro narrowed his eyes.

"…What is that."

Nobara Kugisaki looked confused.

"…Why are there so many people?"

Behind them stood the strongest sorcerer alive.

Satoru Gojo.

Gojo tilted his head slightly.

Then smiled.

"Well that's new."

The Two Worlds Meet

Back on our side, Denki slowly looked around.

"…So this is the anime."

Midoriya whispered in awe.

"The cursed energy density here…"

Bakugo spotted the Jujutsu students.

"…Hey."

He grinned.

"…Finally someone new to fight."

Kirishima pumped his fist.

"LET'S GO!"

I stepped forward excitedly.

"We actually made it!"

Then someone clapped slowly.

Everyone turned.

Standing ahead of us with his hands in his pockets was Satoru Gojo.

Smiling like this was the most entertaining thing he had seen all week.

"Well."

He looked at the entire group.

Heroes.

Villains.

Students.

People from a completely different universe.

Then he said casually:

"…Anyone want to explain why a portal just dropped an entire class into my training field?"
