"Okay so, the team battle's format is as we expected. We've got an extra person now. Do we have the time to change plans?" Maki said, sitting as the whole Tokyo Jujutsu High gathered together to discuss the upcoming event.
"Fish flakes."
"It depends on Yuji. What can you do?" Panda asked as he clung to a pillar.
"I can punch and kick. I also learned how to use a bit of Sukuna's technique too."
"Sukuna's technique?" Panda tilted his head.
"Yep, apparently since I'm his vessel, his technique is slowly imprinting itself onto my soul," Yuji explained.
"I didn't know that, but from what I've seen, Itadori would likely still beat us even without his cursed energy."
———————————————————
"You must kill Sukuna's vessel, Yuji Itadori," Principal Gakuganji said with a grave expression upon his face.
"Don't consider him human either. We'll take care of the cleanup, just make it look like an accident. There's no need to hold back."
'No thanks...' Miwa thought, sweat-dropping as Mai spoke.
"Kill him?"
"Yes, I've even gotten recent information that Sukuna could possess his body suddenly at any moment," the principal spoke, thinking back on the day Sukuna suddenly manifested and fought some unknown cursed spirit.
"Tell me what must be done to eliminate an enemy sorcerer, Kamo?!"
"Yes. We must eliminate the opponent using cursed energy to stop them from becoming a curse after death."
"Correct. There shouldn't be a problem if cursed energy is used. As of now, Itadori is still in control of his body. If Sukuna doesn't appear, there should be no difficulty in this task."
KRAK!
Todo suddenly kicked the door off its hinges as he stuffed his hands into his pockets.
"How stupid. I'm outta here."
"Get back here, Todo," Noritoshi Kamo said calmly.
"The principal isn't done speaking yet."
"Takada's gonna be on a travel show at 11. Do I need to explain further?" Todo spoke with annoyance in his tone.
"Then you can record it. Sit down."
"You messin' with me?! I'm gonna watch it live and record it!" Todo said through gritted teeth, almost ready to punch the idiot in front of him.
'That's not the point!' Mai mentally complained.
"Listen up. You too, old man."
"People like you, who have crappy tastes in girls, are a lost cause."
"Plotting and scheming, doing whatever you want. But just try telling me what to do again, and I'll kill you!"
After that, Todo walked out and left to make it to Takada's event on time.
"What should we do? There's no way he'll go along with a plan like that," Miwa said nervously, not wanting to be killed by Todo.
"Don't worry, he'll go right at the Tokyo side."
"And while he's raising hell, we can concentrate on our objective," Momo said, unbothered.
"But don't we have to kill Yuji Itadori? Todo might not actually kill him," Mai added, her arms crossed.
"Then we'll need someone there to confirm the kill," Mechamaru said.
"There'll be curses too, so we should pair up anyway."
"No," Noritoshi said, cutting off Miwa's plan before continuing.
"The fact there's someone like Itadori at Jujutsu High in the first place is a disgrace. It's not about the event anymore. As a member of the Kamo family, I find this absolutely unforgivable."
"All of us will attack Yuji Itadori!"
"Wait, what if Itadori is with Inumaki? Teaming up against a cursed speech user is super risky; we could all be wiped out simultaneously," Momo said, looking over to Noritoshi.
"That's true," Mechamaru agreed. It was a really risky strategy to rush in blindly.
"No, if you know it's coming, it's not that scary," Noritoshi said as Mai spoke once again.
"I'll take Maki. The brown-haired first-year too."
"You sound like Todo..." Noritoshi said, causing Mai to pop a vein and grit her teeth.

KTNK.
"You wanted to talk," Utahime asked, setting down her cup of tea.
"You angry at me?" Gojo asked, seated in a chair across from her.
"No, I'm not angry," she said, already feeling like she'd be annoyed very soon.
"That's what I thought. I didn't do anything wrong," Gojo accepted her statement as if he already knew it was a fact.
"Someone within the school is in cahoots with a curse user, or maybe even a cursed spirit."
"Huh! That's impossible!" Utahime was shocked by his words.
"A curse user maybe, but a cursed spirit?!"
"There are quite a few special curses these days. This person might only be talking to the curse user, though."
"Can you investigate the Kyoto school, Utahime?" Gojo sipped some tea as she looked at him in silence.
"...How do you know I'm not the mole?"
"Hahahaha, as if. You're way too weak, and you don't have the guts," Gojo laughed, waving her off as a full cup of hot tea slammed into the infinity just at his face, splashing to the ground harmlessly.
"How scary! Hysterical girls aren't popular, you know," Gojo teased.
"RESPECT! YOUR! ELDERS!" Utahime shouted, annoyed already.
———————————————————
"Yo, Itadori!" Megumi said, causing Yuji to look over at him.
"Huh?"
"You okay?"
"Well, it's a big job, but I should be fine," Yuji smiled, hands in his pockets.
"Not that," Megumi said, rolling his shoulder and stopping near the group.
"Something happened, didn't it?"
"Well, sorta. It was going to happen, but luckily enough Sukuna's finger happened to be involved, so he intervened, even if only to eat it..." Yuji rubbed the back of his head, chuckling to himself.
"I see."
"But it's all well now, so I just wanna focus on winning this exchange event thing," Yuji smiled as Megumi nodded.
"Good. I'll focus on winning too, then."
