Luckiest

Everyone was stunted on what to do. 3 people in first place?? What a dilemma! But then Frosty Whipp had an awesome idea,

"Why don't they just play a three-way game of rock, paper, scissors?"

The audience was stunted from the idea but ultimately the decision was left to the two other judges. They, however, did not disagree with the mascot's idea.

The 3 competitors stood adjacent to each other with their arms all sticking out. This children's game is what would decide the victor of this round. It didn't take long for the match to end, but the suspense is carried out by the calling of,

Rock, Paper, Scissors SHOOT.

Han Meiyangs' had picked rock along with Sung Gon-Ill who also followed suit.

The Winner of the round was Akumu who had chosen paper defeating both of them. 

The Crowd shouted, this was the first win that the Japanese team had finally taken since entering the tournament. For some odd reason, Sung Gon-Ill was visibly shaken by what happened. The sight for him was akin to an actor going off his script, while he half-heartedly followed along.

When he rematched again with Meiyang he lost again as well, plunging him further down a well of confusion.

The final scores appeared on the display,

China - 7 Points

America - 4 Points

Korea - 4 Points 

Japan- 3 Points

Even though the end had now come and the crowd prepared to leave a loud voice over the microphone shouted for everyone to stay in place.

"Why is everyone leaving already? I haven't even done the grand reveal!"

Frosty Whipp slowly levitated from the heavens above as if god was about to interact personally with his creation. As he touched the ground the temperature in the arena began to drop rapidly.

The creature held out a cursed tool, It looked like a ring however it was incredibly rusty and even then the cursed energy it emitted was stupidly weak. It barely reached the criteria of grade 4.

[Akumu] Is this it?

[Frosty Whipp] Yup

[Akumu] What does it do?

[Frosty Whipp] No Clue!

It turned out that the object was just some random artifact that they found in the ocean one day. Even though it was completely useless it was decided to be given as a prize for a lucky winner.

Despite its appearance, Akumu gladly wears the bracelet anyway.

Even though the Japanese team had finally scored first place in a round they still had lots of catching up to do. China was in the lead by an overwhelming seven points while America and Korea tied for 3rd place.

In the Hospital room, Yumeno slowly wakes back up from her long sleep. Arthur who sat next to her shout in excitement,

"LADY YUMENOOOO"

Yumeno already irritated from her admirers voice simply shouts,

"SHUT UP"

She gets up and punches Arthur in the gut sending him out of the room. Hagone who was peacefully walking past is surprised by the sight of Arthur.

He slowly turns around and walks away leaving behind his unconscious body.

"He who sees nothing knows nothing." he silently repeated to himself.

Meanwhile, Yukiko and Akumu were hanging out together on a balcony. It was a dark night filled with stars that illuminated the sky. Then Yukiko asked,

"Did you dye your hair again?"

Confused Akumu asked, "What are you talking about? It's still white isn't it?"

Akumu was oblivious to the change in his hair color once again. It had now almost returned to its original Black color.

The two looked each other in the eyes for a short moment but Yukiko quickly looked away in embarrassment.

"Why did you want to become a Jujutsu sorcerer?", She asked.

Akumu thought long and hard. The only reason he returned to sorcery was so that he could grow strong enough to get revenge on Senjuro, but was that it? He didn't want to believe that the rest of his life would be a silly revenge story. He wanted to dedicate himself to something but he didn't know what. He had no family that could say how proud they were for how far he had come, yes he had his teachers but they weren't personal enough. 

He then answered back," I really haven't thought about it that much. I just followed wherever the wind took me."

"How about you?"

Yukiko quickly responded, "I came from a family of Shinto shrine maidens that house the Fujin1 and Raijin2 Gods. Our family has existed ever since the Kofun3 period to worship them. It's in Asakusa though."

Akumu then asked, "Can I come?"

Yukiko suddenly blushed intensely and asked, "You want to visit my hometown???"

"Is there something wrong?" He said while he innocently looked at her.

She then shouted, "But then you would have to meet my family!"

Before Akumu could respond she quickly ran away abandoning the conversation.

As she ran away she walked past Ken who had come to talk to Akumu.

"You did great out there nii-san", he simply said

[Akumu] We can't afford to get lax, we are very far behind from first place.

 but Ken declared, "Nii-san don't worry your Aniki will easily gain first place tomorrow."

The Next day

The Crowd Roared once again to greet the fourth round of the curse battle tournament. The mascot Frosty Whipp screamed on the mic,

"ARE YOU READYYYY??"

To reply they shouted,

"YES WE ARE"

[Frosty Whipp] THEN LET'S START THE FOURTHHHH GAMEEEE

Tyrece then spoke over the mic,

"Today's game is called, Hunter Gatherer. There will be 7 balls dropped into the center of the map. The goal is to gather as many balls as possible into your own area that is marked by your designated color, however, you can only carry one ball at a time. In addition, you can also steal balls from the enemy bases hence the name Hunter Gatherer."

And one more thing, at the halfway point, a golden ball will be dropped into the arena. Whoever gets ahold of it will immediately be granted first place, but this ball can also be destroyed turning it into a glass canon.

[Frosty Whipp] AND WITH THAT LET THE RANDOM SELECTION COMMENCE,

"O THE AMERICAN TEAM WE HAVE THEIR TEAM LEADER MARIA GERALD"

In a green circle, a good distance from the center appeared, a blonde-haired girl masked in a purple veil that hid her face. She too like the rest of her team wore informal clothes but hers appeared to just be an obscenely large piece of purple cloth that covered her whole body.

"ON THE KOREAN TEAM WE HAVE ISUEL BAEK"

Unlike the rest of her team, she was the only girl. Her hair was bright blue, however, she still wore the same blinding white outfit that the two other teammates had came before her, she wore as well, albeit with just a skirt this time that reached up to her knees. She appeared in an orange circle.

"ON THE JAPANESE TEAM WE HAVE YAMEHITO TAORI"

Ken began to cry in the nearby corner while sulking

"It was supposed to be turn."

Taori who was still armed with her pure white katana teleported into a purple circle.

"AND FINALLY IN THE CHINESE TEAM, WE HAVE CHENG WANG"

This was the same green-haired boy that Omo traumatized in the lobby room. He was still as pathetic-looking as before.

"NOW THAT WE HAVE ALL OUR COMPETITOR LET THE GAME BEGIN!"
