Movie 0: Goodwill Event

"They have the advantage." Maki says while checking her cursed tools. She looks like she is ready for war, with a chain around her shoulder and torso, holding a naginata, a wakizashi behind her waist, two swords on each side, and who knows many Hidden weapons.

"The Flying Broom Girl, right?" Kirara ponders

"Then we need to attack! Unless Kyoto is too cowardly to face us, we will take them out of commission and gain because they will not acquire one flag." Hakari says animatedly

"As much as pains me to agree... That's the best option." Maki sighed at the same time the signal was given and the trio was free to move.

The three dashes at the same instant, jumping to the roofs of the buildings like ninjas.

"Should we check these classrooms?" Kirara signals the buildings around them. The finish line is in the opposite direction, on a hill in the forest area of the school. "I think they put some flags here."

"Very probable, some easy flags that you don't need to fight anything to get, but... You would waste time searching for it. Maybe they are in the lockers, behind doors... It's too time-consuming." Maki disagrees

"Let's stick with the plan, then... We will only need one flag." Hakari smiles predatorily "By the way, how is the other group?" He turns to Maki

"Beyond the flying broom girl, that Todo guy knows how to throw a punch, I can tell you that much, but he didn't show his technique. But Megumi told me that the third student is from the Noritoshi clan and is a user of their Inherited Technique." Maki explains while they resume their run

"...and that is...?" Hakari seeks the answer with a blank face

"...for real? The Noritoshi clan! The Blood Manipulation Technique!" Maki was once again surprised with her dumb senpai. She also doesn't like studying, but even she is not that bad,

"Oh~ Blood Manipulation, gotcha!" Hakari nods to himself.

"..." Maki is still unsure if he knows about Blood Manipulation, or if he is simply guessing what it does by the name.

They finally enter the forest, the thick trees obscuring their field of view.

"Yeah, their advantage is really obvious." Kirara comments "Let's do like this... I will advance to the finish line while collecting easy flags and you guys hunt the Kyoto group. Thanks to my technique, they will have a hard time reaching me. Either to attack or to steal any flag I will be carrying."

"Sounds good~"

"Agreed."

"We can still use our phones to communicate, I will contact you guys a little before I reach the finish line. Then we can decide if I cross with the flags I have, if I find any, or wait for you guys to bring me some."

"Okay, then... Let's start by taking their advantage away." Maki comments, seemingly to herself before stopping. Stabbing some of her weapons on the ground she suddenly crouches down. Her flexing thighs burst in size, straining against her pants...

*Boom* Before she disappears from her spot, leaving a trail of dust and leaves scattered in all directions.

.....

"At northeast, there's a curse chained to a tree protecting a chest... unclear if there's a flag inside. On the east, there are two flags on the ground surrounded by tall rocks... Only a curse some dozen meters away." Momo Nishimiya reports on her phone while leisurely flying well above the treelines.

She is conducting her teammates to take the easy and sure flags. At least, Noritoshi Kamo is following her instructions.

"There's one on top of that tree, I will catch that-Hm?" As she was approaching, she heard the sound of leaves moving, making her turn around to see a person shooting into the sky at high speeds.

Some seconds later, gravity starts working to bring the person down, but the person remains unfazed. Turning around looking for something.

Till she faces Momo.

Maki's face morphs into a full-toothed smile when she spots Momo flying a little far away from her.

"Found ya" Her lips move.

Momo swears she could hear these words as close as a whisper in her ear, even though Maki was so far away.

In a standing-up position, Maki falls and disappears between the trees again.

"Tch. That's Todo's fault..." Momo grits her teeth, Tokyo knows her technique because of Todo, while she urges her broom to change directions and move away from Maki.

But she hears the same sound again, but it is much more explosive this time.

She turns around to see Maki emerging from between the trees, practically flying at her at high speeds.

"Kyaaah! I'm being pursued!" She shouts on her phone, to report to her teammates. She speeds up to move out of Maki's path and dodge the woman.

After her maneuver, she turns to check her enemy, but her relief is short-lived, when she sees Maki changing directions in mid air.

"She can walk in the air!!! That's unfair!!" Tears are rolling down her face and being dispersed by the wind while Momo speeds up once more "Did no one tell you that that isn't humanly impossible?! Obey the law of physics, goddammit!"

To her, Maki is no different from a demon with a bloodthirsty smile.

Finally, Maki is upon her, her hand outstretched to grab the petite senior. But Momo will not be captured that easily. In a great show of aerial movement, she kills her momentum, and spins on herself, going down before shooting up.

Out of Maki's range.

"..." Maki who just lost her target stares at her impassively

"Bleeh!" Nishimiya shows her eyelid while continuing to move up in the air.

What she doesn't notice is the chain that was around Maki's torso, which is now hanging in the air loosely. The muscular woman grabs it before shoving it up in a brute way, not wasting time in spinning the chain or using any technique.

The chain moves like a wave, cutting the air, already dangerously close to Nishimiya.

She was still capable of moving sideways in panic, but then Maki yanks the chain back.

The chain tenses, and before being pulled, the edge changes directions again, to Momo and circles her broom... Catching her.

"Shit."

With a smirk, Maki let herself fall while pulling her opponent too.

.....

"Oww~" Momo rubs her head after falling and hitting a lot of tree branches.

Even disoriented, she seeks her broom, but when she finds it her blood runs cold.

No, the worst didn't happen and the broom is intact. The thing is more resistant than it looks.

But there's a chain still attached to it.

Her premonition was confirmed when she saw Maki dropping in front of her, the other edge of the chain around her forearm.

Momo idly notices that the chain ends in a small pouch around Maki's thigh.

"Make things easy for both of us." Maki says flatly while approaching the older girl. She appears to not even consider the blondie a threat, by the way she is not in a battle position and slowly encircling her chain back around her arm.

"Hmpf!" Momo snorts, standing up ready to give the pretentious younger woman a fight. Her condition is not even that bad, she thinks, if she gets back on her broom she can maneuver around the trees and stall the other girl.

"!"

Once again, her aspirations are short-lived. Her field of vision is partially covered by Maki's hand when she grabs her face. She didn't even see the weapon user move! And suddenly she is rendered motionless when Maki grabs her face in an iron grip, which even if is not squeezing tightly, gives the impression of being capable of crushing her head like a tomato.

From the corner of her view, where her opponent's fingers don't cover her sight, Momo can see Maki stepping on her broom too. The final nail in the coffin of her defeat.

"I already said that it is over..." Maki says in a non-nonsense tone

Momo doesn't even dare to breathe loudly, but strangely in the recess of her terrified mind, she idly notices how smooth Maki's hands are. The callouses that one would expect a weapon user to have are non-existent.

'I will ask what hand cream she uses later...'

'Hm, there's no rule about defeating enemies... Like, taking them out of the game. If I knock her out now, she can wake up later.' Maki ponders 'Whatever... I will chain her up and retrieve it later-!' As she was thinking about it, her instincts kicked in.

*Swish* *Tak* *Pah*

Maki expertly moves her head out of the way, just in time to dodge an arrow.

"..." She narrows her eyes seeing a good chunk of the tree the arrow hit explode.

She doesn't move or make any signals to look for the archer, and she doesn't relax her grip on Momo's head either, much to the chagrin of her captive who thought the attack would give her a chance to escape.

*Swish* *Kachik*

Once again an arrow flies at her, but this time Maki blocks it with the flat of her sword. Her face turns at high speed in the direction the arrows came from, and her eyes and other senses focus in the distance.

"Found you..."

With a karate chop on the back of her neck, Maki puts Momo to sleep. The tip of her feet goes beneath the broom, raising it to Maki to grab in a smooth move. All her movements are expertly executed with tremendous precision.

Putting her left hand forward to aim, Maki grabs the broom like a spear and...

*Swish* *Boom*

Throws it with her whole body.

The damage is not something you would expect from a thin cylinder-like object. A hole of at least a meter in radius opens in the trees like a vacuum while the broom flies towards its target.

...

"Ugh... I should have practiced how to move the arrows with cursed energy after shooting them." Noritoshi Kamo sighs in regret while jumping out of the way of the broom that just crashed where he was.

He pulls three arrows out of his quiver and gets ready to shoot...

"!" But he was surprised by Maki already being immediately above him, making him hastily shoot the arrow at her. In the air, she can't dodge...

That is what he thinks.

Maki's figure blurs for an instant before she disappears from her spot.

The world goes in slow motion as he turns his head to his left, thankfully his luck(or maybe his instincts) helped and he sees Maki there. He reacted correctly.

Maki is in a low position, a hand on the ground, her legs open and ready to burst forward, and the other hand grabbing her naginata. She is like a tiger ready to pounce.

.....

In the watching room

Through the eyes of Mei Mei crows, the people present can clearly see Maki's clash with Noritoshi.

Megumi whistles seeing the Kyoto student shooting a blood bag from his long sleeve and instantly hardens the blood to protect himself.

Just in time to stop the back of Maki's Naginata from hitting the side of his body and probably breaking his ribs. Even though Maki appears to be holding back for not using the bladed side of her weapon, the attack is so strong that it sends Noritoshi sliding for some meters before his back hits a thick tree.

"Good quick decision... That guy is not bad." Megumi comments in an even tone

"Right? Noritoshi is a model student here!" Miwa at his side smiles proudly

"You're cute..." Megumi chuckles, gaining a slightly surprised reaction from her "But I need to be clear... I was not praising his prowess. Just that he didn't underestimate Maki and used his Trump cards instantly." He says flatly "That bought him some time, I guess..."

On the screen, it's possible to see Noritoshi's right eye, which was previously squinted, fully open and bloodshot. That's how he reacted fast enough.

"Physical enhancement through Blood Manipulation is hard and strenuous to the body, I remember." Megumi comments "He can't stay like that for long, but props to him in not sparing it. He wouldn't have a chance otherwise."

"I think Maki remembers that, she is not in a hurry to resume the battle." Mai comments while watching Maki leisurely spinning her naginata between her fingers and not making a stance to attack "That's the problem with famous Inherited Techniques from the great clans." She gives Megumi a side glance.

"Meh, more like she is giving him the chance to show what he's got so that she can enjoy the fight." Megumi rolls her eyes.

His foreshadow from months ago is bound to come true, Maki will leave this event unsatisfied. She is simply on another level.

But he doesn't mind, it will be a good experience for Maki, they can do some sightseeing in Kyoto and he will have the chance to cause some Mayhem. There's only wins in coming here.

"You are talking like she already won..." Miwa says with a tone full of indignation, pouting slightly while frowning.

"Zeha~ Your face is so expressive... You're really cute." Megumi chuckles, making her gasp in surprise again "Do you wanna bet?" He leans closer to her, resting his chin on his hand while allowing a roguish smile to spread over his face.

His actions make her blush madly, sometimes he forgets he is handsome.

"Eh? Ah... a bet?" Miwa splutters, reclining herself back to not be too close to him.

"Don't fall for his trick." Thankfully for her, Mai intervenes by pulling Megumi back by grabbing his hair "And don't go around tricking innocent girls"

"..." 'But that is literally my job...' He thinks with a sigh, internally considering if Mai has some sort of soft spot for the innocent Miwa. He remembers the two are close in canon. "Oh, the two met..." As he suffers a chokehold from his girlfriend, he side glances to the screen just in time to see Hakari and Todo finally clashing.

He smiles in amusement, wondering if Hakari would answer "femboys" if asked what his type is by Todo.

"But why are the two shirtless?" Miwa asks

"They are men." Megumi explains(?)

"They are idiots." Mai corrects

"Hey! Ah, a pity that we can't see inside the domain barrier..."

"He can use Domain Expansion?" Miwa turns to them in Shock

"Yeah, but it is kinda imbued in his technique. So you can't give him the full credit in mastering a Domain Expansion."

Sometime later the black barrier disperses, revealing the two combatants, and as expected Hakari is full of energy. He hit a Jackpot faster than when he fought Megumi.

"You fought the two, so who do you think will win?" Mai asks him

He shrugs " 'Fought' is a strong word... But the answer is... neither."

"?"

He doesn't elaborate more, but it's possible to see that the two on the screen have started their brawl. It appears that Todo is more skilled in hand-to-hand combat, he is landing more hits.

But that also can be attributed to Hakari's reckless fighting style.

The two exchange attacks at high speed, punching and kicking each other in a locked heated battle.

The deadlock comes undone when the two suddenly exchange places, Hakari's swing hitting the air. Todo, behind him, doesn't make a sneak attack though. He cleans off a little blood on his nose and says something while smiling.

After some words are exchanged they resume the onslaught, but now Todo is smartly using his technique to make the two swap places, and feint, hence making Hakari miss a lot of swings.

"Pfft! Talk about an 'unstoppable force vs immovable object' situation." Megumi laughs throwing his head back "This battle will have no ending!"

Gojo is the one who appears to find it funny too "An evasion build vs a high regen build! Hehe. Only if Hakari-kun's time runs out or if Todo-kun makes a grave mistake, this will go on for a looooong time~"

It's possible to see that some of the Gambler attacks are connecting, but most are missing. Todo on the other hand is creatively using his technique even when the situation is not favorable to him.

At some point, the two are jumping from tree branch to tree branch, Todo seemingly running away. He grabs a branch and spins himself like a gymnast before jumping away.

But when Hakari goes to jump on the same branch to follow him, Todo suddenly appears exactly where the branch is and delivers a roundhouse kick on the Tokyo student, sending him to the ground.

"Nice..." Megumi praises

"So he can swap places with objects too..." Mai says

"Probably only the ones with a certain amount of Cursed Energy." Megumi says "If not he would be swapping places with the leaves falling around them. It would be very op. He probably imbued the branch with Cursed Energy while he was grabbing it."

"Oh... He should've prepared some cursed tools then."

But like he was answering her words, Todo suddenly showed his two hands. Between each finger is an inconspicuous stone, and he throws it in Hakari's general direction like a shuriken.

What happens next is a rapid succession of Todo swapping places with the stones and hitting Hakari from different angles.

"Ugh... I don't want to admit it, but that idiot is good." Mai begrudgingly comments seeing the impressive display.

"It does not appear like it, but Todo-senpai is super smart!" Miwa defends her fellow student "He aced all the exams. Excelling in both academics and practicals!"

"Hakari on the other hand is on the bottom in theory." Megumi laughs before saying a little more seriously "But he is also at the top of his practicals. Something like that will not keep him down."

And everyone understands that when they see Hakari opening his domain again.

"Again?!" Miwa squawks in Shock

"That's why I said this will go on forever." Megumi shrugs his shoulder and reclines himself in his seat.

"Todo-kun has no means to end this fight." Gojo says her piece "Well, Hakari-kun too... But he will eventually outlast his opponent... If he is lucky."

Utahime adds "These types of dragged out battles normally end while one of them exhausts their mental strength. Something that every Jujutsu Sorcerer needs: great mental fortitude." She explains like a teacher

"The first to make a mistake is generally the first to die." Mei also comments, but her tone is surprisingly light-hearted even if she is talking about a heavy topic

"It's impressive that Todo-kun can fight at a disadvantage. But he can only stall if he finds nothing to finish this stalemate. Anything or anyone, hehe~ This is a group battle, but these two dummies probably forgot about that." Gojo laughs

Megumi chuckles again watching Miwa's fangirl expression while looking at Gojo.

"Normally, the victory can go to any of the two... If Hakari's luck runs out or if Todo gets tired mentally and commits a mistake. A battle in those situations can end in the next second." Megumi says with a pensive expression "This reminds me of that old anime with that saying 'a battle between them can end in an instant or last forever' when talking about super OP people."

"That's off of Saint Seiya! When two Golden Saints fight, or it lasts an instant or a thousand days... Haha! I'm surprised you know this old anime!" Gojo comments "It's very appropriate to the moment, but it's kind of an exaggeration... Even if Hakari-kun doesn't hit a Jackpot or Todo-kun makes a mistake and receives a full attack, it will not be enough to take them down."

"That's why I said 'normally'. 'None' of them will win." Megumi sighs, repeating his answer to Mai's question in the beginning. "Boring... And Kirara is collecting the flags unimpeded. This is in Tokyo's bag. How is Maki doing?"

"Well..." Mai gives him a strange smile.

Turning to watch the screen, people can see Maki dragging Noritoshi and Nishimiya like dead bodies by her chain. Completely unbothered when their head hit the root of a tree or a rock.

Her face is calm as a windless lake and she walks without a hurry, seemingly unscathed.

"..."

"A pity you didn't bet." Megumi smiles at Miwa

"Lucky me, I didn't have any money either." She gives him a shake and smiles, the sight of her senpais being treated like a sack of potatoes is a little shocking.

"Who said anything about money?" Megumi gives her a teasing smile, even blatantly taking a look at her body

"~~~" And predictably she blushes again.

"Stop bullying the poor girl." Mai once again protects Miwa from the big bad.

"Uhm... How is she so strong? Is her technique?" Miwa asks to avoid further embarrassment.

"She doesn't have a Cursed Technique. In fact she doesn't even have Cursed Energy." Megumi answers without worry

"Eh?! How is that possible?!"

"Heavenly Restriction..." He says while keeping an eye on Mechamaru's reaction. The Robot guy didn't say much since they sat together, keeping his answer at one word.

Even when Megumi complimented the robotic aesthetics, so he gave up on having small talk with the introverted guy.

But when he said Heavenly Restriction, he noticed the robot shifting a little. Miwa also looked at her classmate.

'So it's not a secret' "She doesn't have cursed energy, but to balance things she has a strong body."

"Oh... Incredible..." Miwa answers, but with an unsure expression... In truth, she can't say if it's good or bad, but Maki won against people with techniques, so she guesses it's not that bad.

"Not that much... She can't use even the basic techniques and also can't hurt curses without a cursed tool... But she is ridiculously effective against other people." He smiles at her "That's why you guys will lose. She is a Jujutsu Sorcerer's natural enemy... Really too bad you didn't bet." He sighs regretfully again

....

Eventually, the ending was anti-climactic.

Hakari and Todo fought till the time was out, Maki passed close but respected the 1v1, and Kirara reached the finish line with some flags against zero from the people of Kyoto.

Hence the first day of the Goodwill Event ended up with the Absolute Victory of Tokyo.

"Wanna go around again? Or do you want to rest?" Megumi asks while giving Maki a massage. She doesn't need it, she is not even that tired, and she even rejected it...

But he knows that behind that tough exterior, she wants to be spoiled too, so he presses like it's something he wants to do. To save her face and everything, like a good boyfriend.

"Only if you promise to embarrass Mai again." Maki laughs while enjoying Megumi's ministrations

"No, please don't."

...

Flashback/ Previous day

Mai was checking some clothes and cosmetic products in a feminine store, Maki was a little far away in the session dedicated to sports.

Megumi, who was dying from boredom in a small cushioned seat in the corner of the store, stands up and walks to Mai confidently. His height and face attracted the attention of the other women around him.

"...?" Without saying anything he arrives where Mai is and "Hmpf." And steals a kiss, making the younger Twin blush furiously because of the sudden PDA, even the women around them have mixed emotions about the scene. Some older ones look with disapproval in their eyes and with shakes of their heads, some younger ones give them a dreamy look and some others even show some lust.

"I will go check another store, text me when you finish. Bye, Sister." He says with a smirk and turns around to walk normally.

 *(゚口゚)* Mai stays rooted in place in shock, her face becoming stony while the murmurs around her increase in intensity. Her mouth opened the more she was hit by the disapproval whispers of the women nearby.

Maki on the other side of the store is laughing her ass off, but she remembers to sneak away herself so that people can't relate her to Mai.

That shame will be hers alone.

....

"I wish I died in that moment... In fact, I think a part of me died..." Mai says morosely

"Stop being a drama queen, my love." Megumi pulls her into a hug and delivers a lot of kisses on her head "We will never see those people again."

"But their looks will haunt me Forever..."

"Please, I bet they guessed that was a prank of mine. You didn't see it but I winked at some of them and laughed when I left. They were covering their mouths to hide their laughter, not to gossip about you." He consoles her, patting her back

Then he whispers something in her ear "You didn't even hear about what I planned to Maki..."

"Tell me more." Her mood shifted instantly, and a mischievous glint shone on her pupils.

......

*(°ロ°)* "Are you serious, right now?" Maki's face mimics Mai's shocked one almost perfectly. At those moments, Megumi remembers that they're twins.

"What? Can't a boyfriend show his support? Geez... You hurt me, you know?" He looks offended.

And he could've even looked sad...

If he was not wearing a very brilliant green shirt with Maki's face on it.

And a bandana with her name... And a poster... And a flag... And two more smaller flags on his bandana... And stickers... And brooches and pins...And some other things around his body.

"Megumi..." The red-faced Maki tries to squeeze through gritted teeth. "When did you ever make those abominations?"

"Since the beginning..." He chuckles with his best 'all according to keikaku' smile.

Everyone in this small arena is looking at them with strange looks, except Gojo, Hakari, Kirara, and Mai who are laughing. Some girls from Kyoto are looking at Maki with looks of pity and amusement.

"I know, I know... Don't thank me now. Wait for my chant and dance moves that I practiced." He nods, satisfied with himself.

*Riiips*

Maki moves fast and tores off Megumi's embarrassing shirt.

"Noooooo~" He cries in anguish before his face becomes flat again "Anyway..." He takes another from his Shadow Inventory and puts it like nothing happened

"..." Maki is huffing in rage "I don't believe you have infinite of those";

"Try me." He accepts her challenge with equal intensity

The two then engage in a heated dispute of ripping off shirts and putting on another, enough to create a small pile beside them.

"Maki... The event will start..." Mai interrupts them in a controlled voice, holding back a laugh.

"Yeah, yeah. You can go... I will summon Mahoraga to hold a big poster now."

"Megumi... If you do it, I swear I will castrate you once. You can recover with Reverse Cursed Energy anyway... I just want the feeling..." She threatens.

"Geez, girl... Okay, I will not use Mahoraga to hold a huge flag." He agrees easily, putting his hands in the air in surrender

"..." Maki narrows her eyes at that. He agreed too easily... Her brain works to spot what she is missing. "!"

Suddenly she looks up, dread in her heart...

And above them, high in the air... Nue is flying while dragging a huge green banner.

Maki's face is on it, together with the words "Number 1", "Invincible Against Sorcerers" and "Go, Maki Go"

"..."

.....

"Lots will be drawn, to decide who from Kyoto will fight the students of Tokyo. At the end of the three fights, those who have at least two wins, will be the winner of the second day of the Goodwill Event." The principal from Kyoto announces in a monotone tone "If Kyoto wins today. Tomorrow we will have the third and last stage of this year's event."

"Hmpf, better of three? Why not a tournament where the last standing wins? Afraid of Maki?" Megumi scoffs, still wearing his horrible flashy shirt.

The fights are decided, and surprisingly they ended up pretty balanced.

 

- Nishimiya Momo vs Kirara Hoshi

- Noritoshi Kamo vs Hakari Kinji

- Todo Aoi vs Zen'in Maki

 

"Ah, too bad to Kirara..." Megumi sighs

The fights will take place in a standard arena hastily raised in the Middle of the baseball field. The rules are that you win if you knock out your opponent or throw him out of the arena.

The first fight ended up as boring as Megumi predicted.

Momo immediately jumped on her broom at the start of the fight and bombarded Kirara with a gust of wind.

"Seriously?" Kirara asks with his hands on his hips, looking at the air during the interval of the attacks.

He can't reach there, and his technique is not good in an open field.

Eventually, he gave up. Giving the first victory to Kyoto.

"Booooo~ Very bad design! Who thought about this? When do you have an open-field duel like this in real life?" Obviously, Megumi threw some shade on the event "Nothing against you, broom girl." He does not forget to wink at her before resuming his booing "In the next you guys will be cooked!"

And once again he predicted well.

In the battle of Noritoshi against Hakari, even though the archer and blood user tried to create a distance, Hakari easily covered the ground enough to open his domain.

Some minutes later he hit a jackpot.

It was a very bloody fight, no pun intended. Hakari ignored everything that Noritoshi threw at him while beating the guy senseless.

But credit was needed to give to the member of the Noritoshi clan, even through pain, he was able to grit his teeth and continue to fight. Landing some blows that would be fatal to anyone else on the gambler.

His Piercing Blood attack in particular almost decapitated Hakari... But the gambler cleared his throat and resumed his beating.

 Victory to Tokyo.

The scoreboard is 1-1, and the last fight will decide the winner.

"As expected of Maki... It goes to the Main Character to bring Victory home!" Megumi cheers to embarrass her.

At this point, even Gojo and Mai put on the embarrassing shirts.

*(ʘ言ʘ╬)* "..." Maki doesn't look that thrilled by the cheers.

Her fists are bawled and she is trembling...

But Megumi ignores that "Look at that, she is so emotional that is almost crying... look at those trembling shoulders." He covers his mouth in emotion "Don't worry, Maki. I can do better! Check this out!"

Then he reveals two green light sticks!

"Oh no..."

Then he makes his best representation of Aqua from Oshi no Ko dance, cheering Maki like an idol.

"....."

"Megumi... How can you not get embarrassed?" Even Mai has to ask

"Zeha~ A shameless man is invincible." He answers with conviction, some aura covers him.

"..." But almost everyone deadpans at him.

Except for Gojo who is dying of laughter.

The other exception is Todo...

"As expected of my rival..." He smiles while holding his chin, a big smile on his face "What a great display of passion. I can see his effort, it seems he gives his all in everything he is passionate about. I can only respect him for that... But at the same time, I repeat my statement... A man who has a single-minded focus on something is a man who can walk even on the path to Hell. I can only imagine how great of a man he would be if he focused on only one pass-Bwoh!?" *Boom*

He is punched in the face and thrown out of the arena by Maki. She was venting all of her embarrassment on him.

"..." Silence reigns for some time

"Nice Punch~" Before Nishimiya praises it

"Nice Punch~" Followed by Noritoshi

"Nice Punch~" Even Utahime

"Nice Punch~" Miwa?

"Nice Punch~" Mai?!

"Nice Punch~"

"Nice Punch~"

"Nice Punch~"

"Nice Punch~"

The echoes of "Nice Punch" fill the makeshift arena, like cicadas in the summer. All with bored flat tones.

"I see... So this is also a Canon Event..." Megumi nods in understanding

The winner of this year's Goodwill Event is Tokyo.

....

In an unknown place

A pink-haired woman waits patiently, even though her face shows a little discomfort at what happening to the woman in front of her.

"Ugh... Hgk... *Gulp* Haah~" A woman wearing monk robes is with her back to the pink-haired woman, her shoulders tensed for a moment before relaxing "I swear... They taste more awful the higher the grade." Geto turns around with a casual smile, even licking her lips. Acting like was no big deal.

"...is it finally enough?" Suda, Geto's secretary, asks

"I think so... We're just a little short of ten thousand. Did Miguel arrive?"

"Next week, he said that he succeeded. He is bringing all the Black Rope that he can."

This makes Geto reveal a pretty, but vicious smile, her normally gentle features twisting into something sharper

"Good... We can finally declare war."

"Do we really need to 'declare war'? Shouldn't we sneak attack? Surprise is a useful tool..."

"No, no, no... We will do it properly. We are gonna expose the failures of Jujutsu Society, so that even if we fail, there will be a chance for someone else taking up the mantle in the future. We will hit the way that will annoy them most! Lifting the veil! It's a battle between equal foes! I will not let them call us terrorists!" She says passionately,

Then she relax a little. "Remember that the same people we will fight could become our future allies, so let's play by the rules."

"I see..."

"Our real enemies are the filthy Monkeys that bring nothing but trouble... I just need to show them that! Let's shake this still and dirty lake that is Jujutsu Society!"
