Man, four days ill. I thought I'd get better for good, but I just had to wake up with the uvula of my throat inflamed. I have trouble swallowing, and I've vomited at least three times today. It sucks

_______________________________________________________________________________

As rotten as the elders were, they were undeniably one of the pillars of the Jujutsu world.

In any normal situation, their deaths would have led to a "civil war" in the Jujutsu world, but fortunately, with the Culling Game underway, the other clans were too preoccupied with their own disputes to fight each other... At least, that was the case for everyone except the Zenin clan, who saw this as an opportunity to thrive.

News traveled fast; it took only a day for everyone to learn the whereabouts of the high-ranking officials. Needless to say, this excited the members of the Taboo clan.

But even though they were excited, they were not the leaders who would decide the clan's next steps.

Megumi Fushiguro was.

But in the eyes of the clan, that would change soon. There was no way Naoya, or other more prideful members, would accept Megumi as the clan leader.

Some of them would rather die than accept that.

Knowing this, it wasn't foolish to believe that the clan was planning ways to eliminate Megumi.

But that didn't matter for now, because the sorcerers had more important things to worry about than a few petty idiots.

"Principal Yaga, Principal Gakuganji, it's been a while since I've seen you both." Seeing the two principals arriving at the school entrance, Yuki greeted them with a smile. She wouldn't lie and say she hadn't been worried after hearing about Yaga's execution order.

"Yuki Tsukumo, it's a surprise to find you here." The old Gakuganji was the first to speak, resting his cane on the ground as he stopped in front of the woman. "I thought you'd continue avoiding your duties for a bit longer before returning."

A forced smile spread across the woman's lips. "Well, my juniors needed help."

Yaga didn't react to the interaction between the two, a sigh escaping his lips. "What happened, Yuki?"

With that question, Yuki's tone changed, her expression filling with seriousness. "Yuta and Itadori got into a fight with the high-ranking officials... The rest you probably already know."

"That's not what I expected to hear." Yaga rubbed his face with his hands, clearly disturbed by that information.

"But you're alive because of them, so why worry so much?" Dropping her serious look, she smiled as she turned to walk toward the bunker. "At the end of the day, the high-ranking officials weren't serving any purpose anymore."

Leaving a silent Yaga behind, she started to walk away.

"She's right, you know." Passing by him, Gakuganji said, which seemed to surprise Yaga. "It's been a while since I realized that the actions of the high-ranking officials were no longer aimed at the prosperity of the Jujutsu world... No one will mourn their deaths."

Of all people, Gakuganji was the last person Yaga expected to hear this from... But it made sense. The moment the death of the high-ranking officials became known, the Kyoto principal eliminated the elders' subordinate with a single attack and released him afterward.

He could say that the old man had changed... Perhaps this was mainly due to the bad decisions the elders had made in recent years.

"Yes, you're right." And with a sigh, he began walking alongside the principal.

He wouldn't worry about the disorder caused by the deaths of the high-ranking officials... He had more important things to take care of.

.

Walking through the school campus, Itadori didn't take long to find what he was looking for.

In the distance, he could see Maki, Inumaki, Panda, and Yuta sitting on the steps leading to the training field... A very familiar sight, as he remembered seeing the first three in the same position before all of this...

"How's everyone doing?" Announcing his presence, he asked as he approached, causing them to turn to see him.

"Oh, Itadori!" Being the first to stand up, Panda stopped in front of Itadori, making the young sorcerer raise an eyebrow. "Accept this panda's thanks for what you did."

Seeing him bow, Itadori seemed surprised for a moment, his eyes shifting to see Yuta rubbing his neck in embarrassment. 'Damn... I planned to blame everything on Yuta.'

"No need to thank me, Panda." Giving a small smile, he patted the big bear's fur. "I just did what should have been done."

"No... If you hadn't done what you did, my da- Principal Yaga would have been killed. I'm grateful!"

Letting out a sigh, realizing he wouldn't back down, Itadori nodded. "Alright, I'll accept your thanks... It's not every day that a panda bows in gratitude."

"Definitely." And smiling, Panda returned to normal.

As the two rejoined the group, Itadori noticed Inumaki was completely bandaged. The group of curses he had faced must have been quite large.

"How are your injuries?" He asked, addressing Maki and Inumaki.

"Salmon."

"I'll be back to normal after one more healing session," Maki replied.

Although he didn't understand Inumaki, he took the response as an "I'm fine," nodding to both of their answers.

"That's great to hear." He smiled at Maki, who just stared at him for a few seconds before looking away.

"Itadori, you haven't forgotten what I said, have you?" Speaking, Maki didn't look at him as she stood up.

Itadori blinked at that, noticing how the girl began descending the stairs toward the training field.

And with the realization of their last conversation hitting him, he nodded as he waved to the others, starting to follow her. "Of course not."

This seemed to confuse Yuta, who turned to Panda for answers.

Panda could only raise his hands in confusion, as he also didn't know what they were talking about.

"Unfinished business, you said?" Grabbing a wooden sword from a rack, he smirked as he stopped in the center of the field, noticing Maki taking her own sword and walking towards him. "If I remember correctly, I won last time."

"We're tied, remember?" Returning the smile, the girl positioned herself in front of him, raising her sword as she took a stance. "Let's settle this."

Itadori raised his sword, his grip tightening as he prevented his body from being strengthened by cursed energy. "Definitely."

"..."

Among the spectators, Yuta blinked in confusion, pointing toward the two as he turned to Panda and Inumaki. "They're tied?!"
