As the signal for the start of the match sounded, both sides quickly rushed into the dense forest.
Momo immediately rode her broom into the sky, while Muta Kokichi released a large number of mechanical puppets that spread out and advanced on the ground.
Tokyo School's choice was quite similar.
Megumi, who was trusted by Yuji and the others for his all-around abilities, summoned Nue and Rabbit Escape immediately after entering the dense forest.
Nue flew high into the sky and also spotted Momo in the distance.
Momo naturally noticed Nue as well.
Both sides reported the situation at the same time.
"Tokyo School is three kilometers to our northeast. Should we avoid them?"
"Ha, a man won't run away! Let's go!"
Momo did not wait for Noritoshi's instructions. Instead, she saw Kyoto School's ace, Todo, charge into the enemy formation alone.
"Ah, that idiot!"
Momo stomped her foot in the Void Realm in frustration.
"Nishimiya, immediately search for traces of the Grade 1 Cursed Spirit. Miwa and Muta Kokichi will form a group to exorcise Cursed Spirits along the way. We must exorcise the Grade 1 Cursed Spirit before the other side."
The combination of Muta Kokichi, a Semi-Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, and Kasumi, a Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
This combination was enough to easily eliminate the Grade 1 Cursed Spirit used for the competition.
"Kamo, what about you?"
Kasumi asked with some concern.
"I'm going to support Todo. Even someone as strong as him would find it difficult to win if he were surrounded by all of Tokyo School alone."
"I understand. Please be careful."
After speaking, Kasumi and Muta Kokichi immediately changed direction with Mechamaru, heading toward the nearest Cursed Spirits.
These Cursed Spirits also counted for points, and they still needed to be exorcised before the Grade 1 Cursed Spirit was found.
"Nishimiya, if you are attacked in the air, immediately lower your altitude and rendezvous with Muta Kokichi and the others."
Noritoshi did not believe that Momo, who only had the strength of a Grade 3 Jujutsu Sorcerer, could defeat Megumi's Nue.
Megumi was, after all, a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer. Even if he only used one flying Shikigami, it was not something Momo could handle.
Moreover, in Noritoshi's heart, the Cursed Techniques of ordinary people could not compare to the inherited Cursed Techniques of The Big Three Families. Even if Momo became a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer in the future, she was destined to be unable to compare to them.
This was the arrogance of The Big Three Families.
"Received."
Momo breathed a sigh of relief.
She had just been wondering what to do if that terrifying big bird charged at her, but now it was fine. The captain had allowed her to retreat proactively.
Seeing the others begin to act in an orderly fashion, Noritoshi immediately accelerated toward Todo's direction.
What he did not say was that he actually had another mission.
To investigate Yuji.
Jujutsu Headquarters had recently received intelligence that the Tokyo Branch had discovered and secretly sheltered the vessel of the King of Curses, Sukuna.
To prevent Sukuna's revival from causing a greater disaster, Principal Gakuganji demanded that he expose Yuji's true identity during this Exchange Event.
At that time, completing the mission would make him an example for The Big Three Families.
'After completing this mission, I will be closer to the position of family head. Wait for me, Mother. I will definitely bring you back to the Kamo Family with honor!'
Just as Noritoshi secretly made up his mind, Todo had already locked onto Tokyo School's team.
"Isn't this an Exchange Event? Why are we bringing live ammunition?"
Nobara had originally wanted to bring an air hammer and rubber bullets.
But at Eichi's request, not only did she bring live ammunition, but Maki's Thousand Machine Umbrella and other cursed tools were also brought.
Is this really an Exchange Event?
They wouldn't be asking us to bury all of Kyoto School, would they?
"If he tells you to bring it, then bring it. Although that guy Eichi often makes people confused, he doesn't give meaningless orders."
Maki, walking at the very front, said this without looking back.
"Is that so?"
'Forget it, since Senpai Maki said so... Hmm? What's that? Are there gorillas in Tokyo Jujutsu High's forest?'
"Enemy attack!"
Just as Nobara was trying to clearly see what the suddenly appearing thing was, Megumi had already issued a warning.
Boom.
Todo's muscular body descended from the sky, causing even the ground beneath his feet to shake.
"I'm here, brother. Where are you?"
After landing, Todo immediately called out loudly for his brother.
"Cough cough, over here, over here."
Hearing Todo's voice, Yuji immediately raised his hand to signal.
"Yosh, let's begin, brother!"
"Wait, what exactly are you here for?"
Maki, holding her Thousand Machine Umbrella, blocked Yuji and looked warily at Todo, who had charged into the enemy camp alone.
She knew this person, a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer from Kyoto School, whom probably only she and Megumi could deal with.
'Fushiguro still has to handle reconnaissance work now, so it's up to me...'
Just as Maki was about to finalize her plan, she heard Yuji's voice from behind her.
"Wait, Senpai Maki, I invited him."
"Huh?"
Maki immediately turned around with an expression that said, 'Are you kidding me?'
"Salmon roe?"
"To invite an enemy into our own main camp, Yuji, you'd better explain yourself properly."
Nobara tightened her grip on her hammer, emitting a terrifying aura.
This feeling was a bit like Nami's Conqueror's Haki-infused hammer blow on Luffy.
"Wait, don't be angry. This was Eichi-sensei's arrangement. I remembered it earlier and went to look for you, but I couldn't find you. Gojo-sensei said he would help me pass on the message. Didn't you know?"
...The air suddenly fell silent. This time, even Todo did not interrupt.
In the Tokyo Jujutsu High activity room, the six people who couldn't even make up three normal eyes between them, as well as the two school heads, instantly all looked at Satoru.
Even though only Utahime had her eyes open, Satoru felt as if he were being stared at by ten pairs of eyes.
Masamichi wore sunglasses that completely obscured his eyes.
Mei Mei's braid covered one eye, and her other eye was also tightly closed, as she was linked to her crow's perspective.
Principal Gakuganji's eyes were even more narrowed than Suguru's, and even if one looked carefully, they could not find his eyeballs.
As for Satoru, needless to say, his eyes were completely covered by a large blindfold.
Eichi also wore sunglasses, partly to be more "in sync."
On the other hand, these sunglasses had been modified by Mechamaru and could share information, helping Eichi monitor the situation in the field in real time.
Finally, the one who broke the formation was Iori Utahime, who single-handedly accounted for the number of eyes in the room.
Before Principal Gakuganji opened his eyes, the only two eyes in the room were hers.
Looking at it this way, Iori Utahime was actually the least in sync, the one who could not read the room. As expected of the idiotic miko.
"I think I was asked about it."
Satoru pinched his chin, deep in thought.
"Guh-meh, I forgot."
Satoru placed one hand beside his temple and stuck out a pink, tender kitten tongue, acting cute.
Masamichi's fists hardened again.
"He even forgot a student's request. He really is an idiot."
The only normal person, Iori Utahime, retorted.
"But I heard that only idiots call others idiots."
Satoru leaned close to Utahime, putting on a puzzled expression.
"Who are you calling an idiot?"
Iori Utahime was enraged.
"Ah, you actually admitted it."
Satoru looked surprised.
Hmm, he was faking it.
The next second, green tea covered half of Limitless.
"Satoru, quiet!"
Masamichi finally could not help but speak.
"Hai~"
Satoru instantly returned to his seat.
Masamichi pressed his temples, a headache forming.
Masamichi actually thought highly of Iori Utahime, but Satoru had annoyed her so much that she went to Kyoto.
If Satoru kept bullying her like this, wouldn't she run off overseas?
Bully someone else, Satoru.
Unconsciously, Masamichi had lowered his standards for correcting Satoru's behavior countless times.
"It's starting, it's starting. Look quickly."
Everyone's gaze turned to the screen on the wall.
This time, the monitoring was handled jointly by Mei Mei and Mechamaru. Everything happening in the field could be seen here.
Mei Mei: Someone suddenly took on most of the work and didn't ask for a share of the salary. So happy.
