Sloth had a small, satisfied smile on his face as the Uzumaki in the sky exploded like fireworks. His eyes widened a bit, and the corner of his mouth began twitching.

{Mahitoasm has made the advancement: Mastery Simple Domain}

Seeing that he was behind in the domain battle, he instead decided to focus on the reason his eyes widened. One of his recon curses had found a large shrine.

"Akira, come here," Sloth spoke softly, but due to Akira having his five senses boosted, he could hear him.

"What is it?" Akira now stood next to Sloth with skepticism.

Sloth stood even closer to Akira and began whispering in his ear. "I think I may have found a cursed womb, aka a Sukuna finger." Akira's eyes widened just a bit, but after a second, he nodded.

"Don't tell anyone else about this, Akira." Sloth knew if he told everyone, then they would rush to the shrine in order to be the ones to eat the finger; however, Sloth had other plans.

"What time are we going there?"

"At night."

"Alright." Akira nodded to Sloth before turning to Sceptix and walking up to him. "Sceptix, we're leaving. You're out of energy, so there's no point in staying here."

Sloth brought out three pink manta ray curses. Each one of them had a binding vow on them called 'The Scared Pacifist.' In exchange for being unable to do harm to anything, they gain a boost in speed.

Learning how to put binding vows on his curses wasn't a hard process, but it was difficult to choose the negatives and positives they'd get.

Getting on the manta ray curse, Sloth opened the chat.

{Geto Sloth: If everyone is awake, I would like to meet somewhere with a lot of space.}

{Yuta Souei: Yeah, where do you want to go?}

{Shizu Mitsuriist: As long as it's somewhere close by.}

{Omni Gojo: What's the main point of getting everyone together? If you want to say something, then say it now.}

{Geto Sloth: Y'all get on my nerves sometimes... I was going to train in hand-to-hand combat with Akira.}

{Yuji Ghost: Count me in on that.}

{Todo Cursed: Am I invited? 0-0}

{Sceptix Fushiguro: Cursed, everyone is invited...}

{Shizu Mitsuriist: I guess I'll go, but I'll just watch.}

{Mahitoasm: Does that mean I'm invited?!}

{{{{{{{Shut the fuck up, Mahitoasm}}}}}}}

{Mahitoasm: What did I do???}

{Geto Sloth: Just make your way outside, and I'll show you a place.}

With that settled, Sloth took off on the manta ray toward the hotel. If he was lucky, he would get there before everyone made it to the bottom floor.

…

(Third POV:)

Sloth had led them to a building, which was basically a school gym building. It had bleachers lining the sides, while in the middle were two basketball hoops on either side of the court.

Sloth and Ghost were currently in the center of the court, trying to land hits on Akira, who looked as if he couldn't be bothered to try.

Everyone had on the clothes they spawned in with besides Cursed and Shizu. Cursed had on white sweatpants, a white hoodie, and what looked to be black slides. The socks he had on had 'Blue Lock' on the side of them.

Shizu, however, had gone all out for no reason. Wearing a black jacket with white fur lining the collar, three thick gold lines line the upper, middle, and lower parts of the jacket. Two emblems line each side of the three lines.

Underneath the jacket was a blue shirt with the collar popped out, with white lining the edge of the shirt and all of the collar.

Two thin, long necklaces around the neck have what appear to be small, realistic hearts.

Next were black jeans that had small tears around the knees and lower legs. The final part of the outfit, however, was the black air forces on Shizu's feet.

While Sloth and Ghost fought Akira, everyone else sat on the bleachers on either side of the court.

On the right side were Shizu, Mahitoasm, and Cursed. Shizu was near the edge of the bleachers at the bottom, while Cursed and Mahitoasm were near the center.

On the left side of the court were Omni, Souei, and Sceptix. All three of them were at the top of the bleachers, near the center.

"How many hits have they landed?"

"Currently, Sloth and Ghost have both landed zero direct hits on Akira, Sceptix."

"They're really getting done dirty down there, huh?"

"Yup."

"They are."

"Oh, right." Suddenly, Omni tapped the shoulders of both Sceptix and Souei. "You guys didn't happen to see a note in your inventory, did you?"

Looking at Souei and then at Sceptix, Omni threw them a suspicious look. While Sceptix shook his head sideways, Souei made a thinking look.

The look would have made him look as if he were thinking about a serious situation, if not for the fact that he was currently resting his head in the hands of Rika.

"Matter of fact, I did spawn in with a note. You want to know what it says?" Souei had lifted his head a bit to speak before laying it back down.

"You can speak about it? The note I got doesn't allow me to say what's inside." If Omni didn't have their curiosity before, then he most definitely did now.

"The note I got came from Rika, and it says-" Right as Souei was about to finish his sentence, Rika's fingers came up to cover his mouth.

"Don't tell them, Yuta! It's not for them." Rika, who only had her arms visible now, had her head looking down towards Souei.

"It's fine; the only thing it had was my full name. You're acting like I was going to give away lifelong secrets." Souei waved Rika off, who nodded, and then slowly went back to only having her arms visible.

"What is your full name, then?" Sceptix, who had his eyes on the battle, turned to Souei.

"It's Yuta Souei Kurosaki," Souei said with a shit-eating grin. The last name made both Sceptix and Omni show visible reactions.

"No fucking way you got that lucky."

"Are we going to start hearing you scream 'bankai' whenever you use your sword?"

Souei began basking in their interest. As if he were a king being praised for his fairness and generosity.

"Well, if you really want to know, yes, that is my last name. I don't know if it's supposed to give me any new abilities or if I got lucky, but I was always 'him.'"

""You're not him.""

"Yes, the fuck I am!"

Right as Souei was about to get up and proclaim his 'himness' (main character energy), he suddenly stopped as he looked at the chat.

{Smokes Kiritsugu has made the advancement: Start Jujutsu Craft}

{Smokes Kiritsugu has made the advancement: Denial}

"Did you guys see chat? Is that Smokes? How did he get here?" Souei immediately began asking rapid-fire questions, not only to those around him but to himself as well.

Sloth had stopped fighting as soon as he saw the chat, but right as he was about to try and leave the building, Omni teleported in front of him.

"Don't worry about Smokes. I'll go get him as I can teleport." Cupping his hands together, he spoke a little louder than needed.

Sloth nodded at Omni before turning back to run at Akira, who was currently looking at the chat. Throwing a flying kick at the side of his head, Sloth's face became one of shock.

He had expected that Akira wouldn't be able to react due to his attention being taken, but he was wrong, as Akira had leaned out of the way of the kick and grabbed his leg with one arm.

Akira spun him around before tossing him in the direction of Ghost. Ghost's eyes immediately became wide as Sloth crashed into him.

*Thud x2*

"Uh. I tried."

"Get the fuck off me."

Akira turned to where Omni was, only to find he had already disappeared.
