"You already have an idea of how the event works, don't you?"

Walking through Jujutsu High, Gojo asked Yuji beside him, the boy looking around with a little interest.

"Nanami gave me a brief summary." Two months had passed and Itadori had finally returned to school.

A lot had happened, which gave him the impression that much more time had passed since he had last set foot in the place.

He felt he had to familiarize himself with his surroundings again.

"That's good, because I made sure to deliver the souvenirs in advance! So I brought you at short notice!"

Itadori blinked, his eyes narrowing as he turned to the teacher. "Wait, how long until the event starts?"

"30 minutes! Then I think you'd better hurry up and meet the rest of the students!"

Itadori's eyes widened, and before Gojo could wave goodbye, the boy disappeared, running at full speed as he tried to sense the cursed energy of Megumi or Nobara.

'Got it!'

And it wasn't long before he found them, a vein popping in his forehead when he realized they were gathered on the other side of the school.

'He brought me to the other side of the school on purpose?! Idiot!'

Gojo, watching his student disappear, suddenly sneezed, which made him look around curiously.

"..."

"He's late."

On the school premises, the students of Tokyo Jujutsu High were all gathered so that they could come up with a plan to win the tournament.

And while they were waiting for the only one of them to show up, Maki was the one who declared that he was late.

"Do you think something's happened?" Nobara, showing his concern, asked Megumi, who was sitting while watching the entrance.

"I can't say." But without knowing what could have happened, he simply declared his lack of knowledge.

"Ugh..." With a grunt, Maki sat down while resting her chin on her fist, clearly impatient. "What do you think we should do? With a new member, we need to change our strategies."

"Well, that will depend on what he can do." Said Panda, who was hugging a support beam.

"..."

"He's been training with Sensei for the past two months, so he's certainly stronger." Megumi, watching the two of them discuss how to implement Itadori's plans, remembered what had happened at boarding school.

Itadori was extraordinarily resistant, and even though he was unable to use cursed energy to strengthen his body, he was still able to withstand countless attacks from a special level curse, as well as exchanging blows, even if he didn't damage the curse.

With all this in mind, he was confident about saying the next words.

"But even before that, if everyone from Tokyo and Kyoto High School fought without using cursed energy, then I'm sure Itadori would win."

Maki, seeing Megumi say it so confidently, cracked a small smile. Considering that he had faced Todo, it wasn't hard to believe his words. "Interesting."

But as they looked to discuss including Itadori in the plans after the information from Megumi, they turned towards the entrance when the sound of "dragging" rang out.

"Sorry for the delay." Taking a deep breath, an itadori revealed himself as he walked through the door, sweat dripping down his face as if he had just run a marathon. "How long do we have before the tournament starts?"

"25 minutes." Panda simply spoke, which caused Itadori to open his mouth in disbelief.

"What? I got here so fast?! Shit, I should have saved my energy, now I feel as sweaty as a pig." Moving through the group, Itadori sat down next to Nobara.

But as he took a deep breath, he didn't notice the looks he was getting from the second-year students.

Watchful eyes, mainly with suspicion, after all, he was the receptacle of Sukuna, the most powerful curse that had ever lived.

It was normal for them to feel suspicious of him. They didn't know when he might lose control.

"Hey, Itadori."

But as Itadori caught his breath, his eyes flew open when he heard his voice being called, his head turning to see Nobara beside him.

"I heard that you and Fushiguro went out to eat a few days ago."

"..."

Itadori, remaining silent, sensed that the conversation had just entered dangerous territory.

'Why does that remind me...'

"And you didn't even have the decency to invite me, did you??"

'When I did something wrong and my wife scolded me?'

Itadori, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, gave a nervous smile as he raised his hands in defense.

"Oh, you know how it is! Sensei asked me not to invite more than one person at a time."

Gojo hadn't said anything about it, Itadori just needed an excuse to get out of it.

But from the intense look he was getting, it didn't seem to work.

"Next time, you'll pay for everything." Nobara declared, which made Itadori's eyes widen as he remembered the amount of food she had eaten during their first mission.

'I could go bankrupt at any moment.'

"..."

Seeing the interaction between the two, the second-year students immediately realized that Itadori was definitely not a threat to them.

In fact, at that moment, Nobara seemed much more threatening.

"All right, since you're here, we can finally work out our plan." Maki, drawing everyone's attention. "Then pay close attention!"

"Todo will surely come straight for us and try to crush us. He's a monster, and I'm afraid that even if we faced him together, we'd still be annihilated. So we were thinking of leaving Panda or Fushiguro to slow him down, but Itadori, we'll leave that to you."

"You don't have to beat him, just delay him."

"You can go all out!" Panda nodded.

Itadori nodded.

From his memories, he must have been someone very strong. Itadori could say that if it had been him a few days ago, he might not have had any hope of beating him.

But at this point, that mistrust of victory was gone.

He was sure he could beat him, and even then, there would be enough energy left so that he could deal with Hanami later.

But in any case, victory was not his goal. He would just hold it long enough for the curse attack to begin.

Then he would use Todo's support to exorcize Hanami.

Letting her escape was out of the question.

________________________________________________________________________________

Gathered at the entrance to the forest, the Tokyo group awaited the start of the tournament.

With all the strategy in place, each of them already knew what had to be done.

And while there were still a few minutes to go, they decided to talk to each other.

"Yuji"

But while Itadori was talking to Megumi and Nobara, he turned around when he heard his name and saw Maki standing in front of him.

"I forgot to ask you when we were working out the plan." Raising her hand, Maki spread her fingers in a sign of wanting something. "Give me back my Tozama."

Itadori, listening to the girl's request, took a while to understand what she wanted, but soon his mind went back to the events at the boarding school, when the knife he was using broke trying to cut the special-grade curse.

"Uh..."

And he quickly remembered that it must have belonged to Maki.

"It broke."

But at this point, there was no point in lying, so Itadori was quite direct in his words.

"..." But from Maki's inexpressive face, perhaps being so direct wasn't the best option. "Broken?"

Megumi and Nobara were quick to move away, which caused Itadori to look at them in disbelief.

While the situation looked like it was going to get a little intense, Itadori felt relieved when the megaphone sounded.

"Only one minute until the event starts! Stay with the voice of the lovely Utahime-Sensei as she encourages you!"

"U-Uh? It's... It's inevitable that some people will get hurt, so... Uh... Help yourselves an-"

"Time's up."

"What? Hey, Gojo!"

"And now the tournament...

Begins!!!"

With the start of the event declared, the group moved quickly, advancing into the forest together.

"Wait for the signal to split up into groups! We're counting on you, Yuji!" Maki spoke, Itadori nodding.

"Woof!"

Megumi's black wolf followed in front of the group, stopping when a curse that resembled a spider descended in front of them through a web on a branch.

"A weak curse." Panda noticed, and Maki quickly drew his spear.

"Senpai! Wait!"

But before she could advance, Megumi called out to her as her wolf barked in distress.

Boom!

And suddenly appearing as some trees were destroyed, Todo showed himself to them with a huge smile.

"Great! Everyone's here!

Come on! Come and face me all at once!"

"Uh?"

But before he could go any further, his eyes widened as a shoe came up in front of his face, hitting him in a way that threw his head back and made him stagger.

"Break it up!"

All bewildered, the group quickly split up, leaving only Itadori to face the first-degree sorcerer.

"That was a great hit!"

Shaking his head, Todo blew his nose to expel the accumulated blood, a smile widening on his lips.

'I did good damage.' Itadori noticed, and getting into position, he prepared for a counterattack. 'As long as I don't get hit in any vital spots, I can hold him off for as long as it takes.'

"Now I'm going to strike back, first-timer!"

Itadori raised his defense as the sorcerer raised his fist, immediately preparing to receive the attack.

"Receive that!"

Boom!

The spider curse, appearing in front of the fist at the last moment, exploded into pieces, Itadori's defense receiving the full brunt of the punch.

'What strength!'

His body pushed back, Itadori kept his feet firmly on the ground, a smile on his lips as he swung his arms to shake off the numbness caused by the impact.

'It's even stronger than the attacks of that special-grade curse.'

"You really resisted my punch? Wonderful! What's your name?" Todo was amazed that the first-year in front of him had been able to withstand one of his punches so easily. He could tell immediately that the boy was definitely someone who could amuse him.

"Itadori Yuji."

"Right! So, Itadori Yuji! I have a question for you!"

Todo, with all his strange mannerism, prepared to ask the question that would seal his opponent's fate.

"What's your ideal type of woman?"

"..."

'Ah, yes. I'd forgotten that he asks that kind of question.'

Itadori, suddenly receiving that question, stopped to think of an answer.

'Actually, I don't think I ever stopped to think about it.'

In his old life, Mark had met an incredible woman, who had been with him from high school through to adulthood.

His wife was an incredible woman in many ways.

Beautiful, but above all, mentally strong. Perhaps this was the trait that had attracted him to her the most.

Even in the worst moments of his life, there she was, firmly supporting him, as if she had unshakeable confidence in him.

'Shit, I'm getting a bit emotional. Focus!'

But in the end, he knew that this would not be an answer to everyone's liking. He needed to simplify as robustly as possible.

He needed to detail his wife's body in the crudest way possible.

"My kind of woman?" Itadori, staring at Todo intensely, simply stated. "A woman with an athletic body and big thighs, uh... Like Gina Carano."

"..."

Todo, hearing that answer full of sincerity, froze for a moment. Memories that had never happened had just invaded his mind.

Filled for a time with Itadori that had never happened.

"It seems that the two of us are...

Best friends!"

'Strange.' Itadori thought as he watched the tears run down the sorcerer's face.

But unable to think too much about the situation, Itadori went on alert when he felt the cursed energy of other sorcerers surge towards him, his eyes narrowing as he turned to the trees to see the Kyoto students in the branches.

'So they're still planning to kill me, are they?'

Running as numerous shots threatened to hit him, Itadori quickly noticed Miwa in front of him about to draw her sword.

"New Shadow Style: Simple-"

But before the girl could complete her attack, Itadori surprised her by appearing in front of her in an instant, grabbing her wrist and throwing her away, completely undoing her technique.

'He just... Ignored me?' Standing on the ground, the girl watched Itadori walk away with an impassive face.

But as Itadori continued to walk away, he turned his head when he noticed Mechamaru jump up beside him, his eyes narrowing as the puppet raised its palm to form what looked like some kind of energy beam.

"Uh?"

But before he could complete the attack, Yuji's palm hit him squarely in the stomach, his body flying between the trees.

*Palm!

Kamo, about to shoot with his bow, was surprised when he found himself on the ground, his head turning to see Itadori on the branch where he had been seconds before.

"Hey, I told you, didn't I?"

Kamo, jumping up to dodge a punch from Todo, turned to the first-degree sorcerer.

"That I'd kill anyone who got in my way."

"No, You didn't."

"Whatever! Get out of here."

Kamo, seeing that Todo had no intention of turning back, just gave up. In the end, he knew he didn't stand a chance.

"You have to kill him."

But before he retreated, he didn't forget to say.

"That will depend entirely on him." With a smile, Todo stood in front of Itadori again. "Let's keep going, my friend!"
