"I'd say we're both pretty worthless, All you do is imbue things with cursed energy. You don't even have a cursed technique," Maki said to Mai.

"Well that's better than not having cursed energy at all, If I keep looking up at my goals, then my neck will start to hurt. Sometimes I have to look at what's below me, huh?" Mai said to Maki.

"Forget it. What a waste of time. We're both at the bottom. Nobara can you stand?!" Maki yelled to Nobara.

"..." Nobara didn't reply.

"I doubt it. She'll be down for a while. I get her pretty good," Mai said she then looked at Maki who held her spear to her face.

"What? You wanna go at it?" Mai said looking at her, not noticing Nobara was behind her.

*THUD

*WHAM

Nobara quickly took her down to the floor, immobilizing her.

"Nice teamwork... Maki!!" Nobara said.

"You tore my new tracksuit. Leave your uniform behind as compensation," Nobara said looking at her uniform thinking it looked really cute.

"Maybe I should some more holes in your body next. besides your legs are too short to make this look good," Mai said talking about her uniform in the last part.

'I'll kill you!!' Nobara thought as she got angry.

"Mai we're leaving," Todo said walking up to the three.

"Wha-?" Nobara said getting distracted and looking at Todo and wondering where Azure and Megumi were.

Mai took the opportunity to get out of her hold standing up.

"Where's Azure and Megumi," Nobara said to Todo.

"Don't worry, Panda and Inumaki are with them," Maki told her making Nobara sigh in relief.

"You look like you're having fun," Todo smiled at Mai.

"As if..!"

"Well, forget it. Unlike you I've got some important business to take care of," Todo said.

"Tamara's meet and greet..!!" He exclaimed thinking of his tall Idol that he admires.

Making Mai, Maki, and Nobara look at him as if he were stupid.

"What if I miss the train and don't make it on time? Who knows what I might miss? Let's go, Mai."

"Sheesh… You're such a pain..!!" Mai said following behind him.

"Hey, don't think we'll go this easy on you at the Goodwill event," Mai told the two.

"What?! Do you think you won or something?! I said to leave your uniform!!" Nobara yelled angrily.

"Yo, idiot. Shut it," Maki said.

"What happened today doesn't matter. we'll stomp them at the event," Maki told her.

"…Maki, is it true what she said? that you don't have any cursed energy?" Nobara asked

"It's true. I can't even see curses without these glasses. I use tools that have been imbued with a curse I can't manipulate my cursed energy like everyone else," Maki told her.

"Then why did you become a sorcerer?"

"To piss people off. Think about it. What if someone who's looked down on like me became a great sorcerer? How would my family react." Maki smiled.

"C'mon let's go see Shoko." She said looking at Nobara's wounds.

Nobara smiled looking at Maki.

"You know. I respect you."

"Good for you," Maki replied.

*Location: Jujutsu High Principal Office

"Time comes at a high price... for an old man who doesn't have much left..." An old man who was the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High School, Yoshinobu Gakuganji said.

The door opened and Gojo walked in.

"Principal Yaga won't be here for a while. We forced (scared) Ichiji into giving you a fake schedule," Gojo said as he went and took a seat across from Gakuganji.

"Let's talk about it..." Gojo said.

"It? What are you talking about?" Gakuganji tilted his head.

"Dont play coy, old man. This is about Yuji Itadori. A consecutive leader like you had to be involved," Gojo smiled.

"Well, I'll be. the youth these days... Don't even know how to speak with respect," Gakuganji said.

"I don't intend to. It pisses me off how high-and-mighty old folks are these days."

"Hey! How dare you?" Gakuganji's companion Kyoto Jujutsu High School, second-year, Kasumi Miwa interrupted Gojo.

"I'll be sure to tell the people in charge about this," Miwa frowned.

'Oh my God! It's actually Gojo! It's really him!!' She thought but made sure to keep her composed facial expression.

"Go right ahead. I won't be long," Gojo told her.

'He talked to me! He talked to me...!!'

"Last night, we were attacked by two unknown special grade curses," Gojo told Gakuganji surprising him.

"I'm sorry to hear that," He replied.

"Save it. That happens all the time to me. It's like getting flyer handouts on the street."

'Wow! He's so cool!!' Miwa thought.

"Those curses were able to communicate. I bet there are more out there on their level. And it's not just enemies. Hakari, Okkotsu, and Todo from your school. The students these days have gotten much stronger.

Then there's the Suguru Geto incident from last year... As well as two vessels Azure and Yuji appearing..." Gojo stated.

"What're you trying to say?" Gakuganji asked.

"Don't you get it? The wave of power that you guys have been ignoring to maintain your status in the name of stupid traditions... has gotten huge and is approaching. The new generation... Won't be limited to special grade...

If you think I'm the only one who's gonna question your authority... You're gonna be in for a world of hurt, old man!!" Gojo smiled wildly.

"You've got quite the mouth..." Gakuganji said getting angry.

"Yikes! I've said my piece so I'm outta here, Oh right, Principal Yaga should be here in about two hours or so... See yea!" Gojo smiled waving at the two before leaving out the room.

"Miwa, please go and buy some tea," Gakuganji said.

"Right away!" Miwa said as she ran out of the room.

'If I hurry, maybe I can get a selfie with him!!' Miwa thought running full speed towards Gojo.
