"Why is everyone empty-handed?" Nobara shouted

All five of them just stare. Nobara confusedly

""Rather, why do you have lugage?" Panda asked

"Why? Aren't we going to Kyoto?" Nobara, "A Goodwill Event in Kyoto..."

"A Good will with Kyoto... In Tokyo," Panda pointed out

"You're kidding meee!" Nobara shouted

"That's why our conversations about this have been slightly off," Maki said.

"Yeah" Megumi said.

"The event was held at the school of the previous year's winner," Panda said.

"HAhaha" Sasori just laughed seeing this. "Argh!"

Nobara just grabbed Sasori's collar and shook him back and forth.

"Why'd you go and win?! Idiots!!" Nobara yelled at Sasori.

"I wasn't even in school last year," Sasori said, trying to stop Nobara.

"We didn't participate last year either." Panda said, "Last year Yuta joined to match the numbers."

"And Rika was still around," Maki added. "Apparently, it was a complete victory."

Nobara then let go of Sasori's collar and shouted to the sky, "I WON'T FORGIVE YOU, OKKOTSU YUTA!"

"You don't even know him," Megumi said.

Sasori heard the sounds of footsteps and said

"They here"

Everyone looked at where you were looking and saw the Kyoto students.

"Is this a welcome party? Gross," Mai said

"I don't see Okkotsu," Todo said.

"Shut up. Give me Kashiori Kuzukiri and Sobabouro," Nobara said.

"Salmon(Agree)" Inumaki said.

"You guys hungry or something," Todo said after hearing them.

"Scary..." Momo said

"Nevermind Okkotsu being absent, Isn't having three first-years too much of a handicap?" Mechamaru said in a robotic voice

"Age is irrelevant with Jujutsu Sorcerers. Especially Fushiguro, he is a Zen'in after all."

Noritoshi "I'd say he's more reliable than the head of the family."

"Tsk" Mai clicked her tongue when she heard the word Zen'in

"Hm?"

"It's nothing," Mai said.

"Hey now, no fighting."

Everyone looked at the voice.

"What will I do with you kids?" Utahime said

"So, where's that idiot?" She said

"Satoru is late," Panda said.

"No way that idiot is ever on time," Maki added.

"No one even said that idiot referred to Gojo-sensei..." Sasori said

"HERE I AM!" A man with a blindfold yelled excitedly.

Gojo was running towards the group, pushing a large cart.

"Satoru Gojo"Utahime said in an annoyed tone.

"Satoru Gojo," Miwa said in a happy tone.

"Everyone's here, I see. I was actually on a business trip overseas," Gojo said, walking towards the Kyoto students. "Here, souvenirs. A protective charm from some kinda tribe, Nothing for Utahime" Gojo handing the souvenirs to Kyoto students

"I don't want it!" Utahime yelled

Gojo then turned to where his students were.

"And for the Tokyo kids!!" Gojo yelled

"Overexcited adults are creepy," Nobara noted.

The box suddenly opens as Itadori Yuji pops out of it.

"It's dearly departed Itadori Yuji!!!" Gojo said

"Hah! Gotcha!!" Itadori said happily, expecting his friend to be as happy as he is.

But when he saw them, the only thing that he got was Pale shock, with their eyes widening.

'THEY DON'T LOOK HAPPY... AT ALL!' Itadori saw the sour expression on his three friends 'What about Kyoto students?' Itadori then looks at the Kyoto students. 'They're only interested in their souvernirs!' he thought.

"Sukuna Vessel?!" Gakuganji Yoshinobu Kyoto High Principal, who was behind them, said it with shock on his face, "How can this be..."

"Principal Gakuganji!" Gojo waved at him, "Thank goodness! Good thing the shock didn't kill you, I was worried."

"You brat!" Gakuganji said

"Hey!" Nobara kicked the cart that Itadori was in.

"Oh, right" Itadori said.

"You got something to say?"

"Um... I'm sorry I kept it a secret... That I was alive." Itadori said the last part quite

After everyone calmed down, the principal of Tokyo High explained the event while folding Gojo's shoulder.

"Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event, Day 1: Spirit Bash Race! The first team to exorcise the Grade-2 cursed spirit in the designated area wins! Grade-3 and lower spirits will also be in the designated area. If the Grade-2 spirit isn't defeated by sunset, the team with the most exorcisms will be declared the victor! That's it for the rules! Principal Yaga said, "Of course, interfering with the opposing team is permitted, but remember, we're comrades in the greater battle. This event is an opportunity to get to know our comrades and ourselves in the spirit of competition. Killing or incapacitating your opponent is prohibited, we'll be on break until the event starts at noon."

Utahime just giggled seeing Yaga folding Gojo, while Gakuganji just stayed silent.

-Tokyo Team Meeting-

"Um... Excuse me... Don't you think this is a bit harsh?" Itadori is kneeling, holding a photo frame on his face, just like a photo you used when you were dead.

"Just stay still and shut up," Nobara said, not looking at Itadori.

"C'mon, he explained himself, you should just forgive him already," Panda said.

"It talks!"

"Salmon, Salmon(Agree,Agree)" Inumaki said

"What?"

"Inumaki-senpai is Cursed-Speech user, he can increase and strengthen the spirits of words. For safety reasons, he limits his vocabulary." Sasori explains it to Itadori.

"So, if he tells me to die, that'll happen? He's so powerful!" Itadori said

"It's not that simple." Panda said, "It depends on the command's level of difficulty. The bigger the command, the more it takes out of him. In the worst case, his words might come right back at him. He limits his vocabulary to also protect himself."

"Huh, so why can you talk, senpai?" Itadori asked Panda

"Revealing someone else's technique like that..."Nobara said

"It's fine, it's not something that affects Toge after all. That aside.... Yuji, give back my slaughter demon," Maki said.

"Gojo-sensei has it..." Itadori said nervously

Sasori and Megumi just stared at Itadori when he said this.

"Tsk! That blindfolded idiot," Maki said.

"So are we going to change our plan since we have one more member?" Sasori asked his senpai

"Okaka(Disagree)" Inumaki said.

Panda, clinging to the building pillar, said, "It depends on Yuji. What can you do?"

"Punch and kick," Itadori said, flexing his arm.

"We've got enough of those..." Panda said.

"I don't know what he was up to while he was gone, but if it comes down to a brawl without any Cursed Energy involved... Itadori will win." Megumi said to his senpai

"At least he will put up a fight," Sasori added.

The second-years look surprised at this

"Nice," Maki said. 'It's pretty believable when Megumi and Sasori say it, since both of them fought Todo. ' She think

-Kyoto Team Meeting-

"Kill Sukuna's Vessel, Itadori Yuji." Principal Gakuganji said, "That's not a person, so we can just scratch everything down to an accident, no need for holding back or hesitating."

Kyoto students just sit and listen to what their principal just said.

'Don't wanna...' Miwa think

"Isn't he around because he can't die?" Mai asked

"I've been told his previous death was self-inflicted." Gakuganji "Tell me what needs to be done in order to finish off an enemy sorcerer... Kamo?" he asked to Noritoshi

"Yes! We must eliminate the opponent using Cursed Energy. This prevents them from turning into a curse after death," Noritoshi answered.

"Correct, there shouldn't be a problem if Cursed Energy is used. As of now, Itadori is in control of his body, if Sukuna doesn't appear, there should be no problem. This should be simple.

All of a sudden, Todo kicked the door and walked out of the room.

"How stupid, I'm outta here," Todo said.

"Get back here, Todo," Norotoshi said. "The principal isn't done speaking."

"Takada's going to be on a travel show at 11. Do I need to explain further?" Todo said

"Then you can record it, sit down," Noritoshi said.

"You messin' with me?! I'm going to watch it live and record it!" Todo said seriously

'Are you kidding me!' Mai thought

"Listen up, you too, old man. People like you, who have crappy taste in girls, are a lost cause. You can plotting, scheming, doing whatever you want, but the next time you try to order me around, I'll kill you" Todo said and dissappeared from the room.

Principal Gakuganji also went out after that.

"What should we do? There's no way he'll go along with a plan like that," Miwa asked nervously.

"It's fine," Momo said. "That guy will just fight the Tokyo students either way, we can focus on the game while he's going berserk," she added.

"But we've got to kill Itadori Yuji, right? Todo doesn't fight to kill" Mai asked.

'We're still on that?' Miwa thought

"Then we need to observe Todo and finish Itadori ourselves, right?" Mechamari said

"There'll be curses too, so we should pair up anyway" Miwa said.

"No..." Noritoshi said, "The fact that there's someone like Itadori at Jujutsu High in the first place is a disgrace. It's not just about the event anymore, as a member of the Kamo family, I find this Unforgivable. All of us will attack Itadori Yuji!"

"Wait, what if Itadori and Inumaki are together? Teaming up against a Cursed-Speech user is super risky we could all be taken out at once" Momo said.

"That's true" Mechamaro agreeing with Momo

"No, if you know it's coming, it's not that scary." Noritoshi answered

"I'll take Maki and the brown-haired first-year too." Mai said

"You sound like Todo," Noritoshi said to Mai.

Mai's expression turned sour when she heard this.

-Teacher Office-

"You wanted to talk?" Utahime asked Gojo who sit in front of her.

"?... Are you angry at me?" Gojo asked

"No, I'm not angry'

"That's what I thought! I didn't do anything wrong."

"Someone with the school is in cahoots with a curse user, or maybe a Cursed Spirit" Gojo just cut to the chase.

"That's impossible! A curse user maybe, but a cursed spirit?!" Utahime is shocked at what Gojo just said.

"Stuff at that level has been coming out like it's normal lately, this person might only be talking to the curse user, though." Gojo said, "Can you investigate the Kyoto side, Utahime?" he asked while drinking his tea.

"... How do you know I'm not the mole?" Utahime asked

"As if! You're too weak, and you don't have the guts" After he said this, a cup of tea flew towards him.

"Krplash" But before it hit him, the cup and the water bounced off.

"Scarry! Hysterical girls aren't popular, you know," Gojo said.

"RESPECT! YOUR! ELDER!" Utahime yelled

-Back to Tokyo Students-

"Itadori!" Sasori called him "You okay?"

"Well, it's a big job, but I should be fine," Itadori answered.

"Not that." Sasori said "Something happened, right?

"Huh? What're you talking about?" Itadori denied it, but Sasori just stared at Itadori.

"...Yeah, but I'm okay." Itadori finally gave in "In fact, thanks to what happened, I don't want to lose to anyone anymore."

"Good... Me too, I don't want to lose either." Megumi walking past Itadori

Itadori just smiles

"But both of you got beat up the other day! It's going to be a total victory for Maki-san sake!" Nobara said

"Knock it off" Maki said.

"Mentaiko" Inumaki said

"Yes! For Maki!" Panda added

"Heh heh... well then... Let's go and win this!" Itadori said

"Duff" Maki kicks Itadori from behind.

"Who put you in charge?"
