Noritoshi and (y/n) ran after Megumi, using Kamo's arrows to discover his location. They eventually reached a staircase. Seeing two frogs with wings, called 'The well's unknown abyss'. A combination of Megumi's Nue and Toad.

Megumi: "Hey you, what are you doing with Maki-san and Kugisaki-san?"

(y/n): "Finally! Fushiguro! They've been unconscious for a while now, and I couldn't leave them for a curse to find. Care to take care of them. My shoulders are getting uncomfortable."

Megumi: "Not a chance, at least now with both of you here."

(y/n) suddenly appeared next to him and repeatedly bonked him on the head.

(y/n): "Bad classmate. Bad, bad."

Megumi: I didn't even see him...!

(y/n): "I'll just leave them in a room nearby, they'll be safe there."

He began to walk away, leaving only Noritoshi and Megumi.

Noritoshi: "What an interesting person."

Megumi: "Hm."

Noritoshi: "Let's use the moment he gave for both of us. Can't say I appreciate you holding out on me."

Megumi: He'll be back in any minute. I doubt I could win against both of them at once, my demon dog is still out on his mission. Got to take Kamo-san out first, and quickly. "You're on your last arrow, aren't you? You'll pass out from anemia before your classmate can help you."

Noritoshi: "Don't worry about that, these are all arrows I prepared ahead of time."

Megumi: Blood manipulation: a technique that manipulates one's blood and objects imbued with it, fitting for one of the three major clans and their love for bloodline.

Noritoshi: Ten shadows technique: one of the Zen'in clan's hereditary techniques. It creates ten types of shikigami using shadows as its medium. If only Maki or Mai had inherited that technique...

Noritoshi shot the arrow to the roof above Megumi, making some wood planks fall near him. Using it as a distraction to jump and deliver a blow. Which he blocked with one of his wooden tonfas, but still being sent some centimeters behind, his body slightly shaking from the strength of the hit.

Megumi: He has that much power?

Noritoshi: "Nice reaction. But stay alert."

He opened his right eye, and a blood mark with the shape of an 'X' appeared over it. He then seemed to disappear in a blur, appearing next to Megumi, palm striking him, he could barely block it with his right tonfa, resulting in it breaking and him being sent to a wall.

Megumi: I was too slow to defend with cursed energy? With this much speed and power, it's like he's a different person now!

Noritoshi: Manipulating blood isn't limited to its shape and motion. Body temperature, pulse, red blood cells, and all other components of blood are mine to freely control.

Megumi: "You're doping!"

Noritoshi: "Very astute. But I wish you wouldn't use such a layman's term for it."

(y/n): "Could you keep it down! I'm trying to find a room without parts of the roof falling on top of us!"

He shouted in the distance, making the two of them look in the direction of the shout. Making an opening for Nortioshi to attack.

They exchanged blows while moving to different rooms on the temple, ending up in a hall with shoji walls (The Japanese sliding doors).

They continued to fight, ending up in Megumi's remaining tonfa breaking.

Noritoshi: "Shikigami users who can fight this well in close combats are precious. You've improved. I'm happy."

Megumi: "What is this sense of fellowship you keep throwing out?"

Noritoshi: "I'm sympathizing. Someday you'll be one of those supporting the major clans. I Intend to kill Itadori Yuji."

Megumi: "On Principal Gakuganji's orders?"

Noritoshi: "No, it's my personal decision. As a member of the Kamo clan, one of the three major clans, I believe that's the right call." I must behave as the heir to the Kamo clan. For my mother's sake

He remembered some things of the past.

Kid Noritoshi: "Why is everyone so mean to Mother?"

???: "Because she's a slutty concubine."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noritoshi: "Then why is everyone so good to me? Why did you take me in as the heir?"

???: "Because his proper wife didn't bear a boy who inherited the technique.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noritoshi: "You should be able to understand that, too. You and I are the same."

Megumi: "No, we're not." He's spouting some scary stuff all of a sudden.

Noritoshi: "We are."

Megumi: "We're not. Please save those discussions for Maki-san. I no longer have any connection with the Zen'in clan. Besides, I don't believe I'm 'right'. No, sorry. That's not right, I don't care if I'm right or wrong. I just... have faith in my own good conscience. I save people according to my own conscience. If you would reject that, then... We'll just have to curse each other."

Suddenly, two shoji's broke from behind Noritoshi, one revealing one of Megumi's shikigami, the winged toad, and the other one, (y/n).

(y/n): "I'm here! ...Winged toad?"

The shikigami disappeared, only leaving a splash of black goo.

Megumi: What?! ...Thankfully it was planned to use it as a decoy...

Noritoshi: Surprising. Although that means Fushiguro still has more.

Megumi: Now that they're both here I can use it. "this one burns through cursed energy, so I can only use it by itself. I only recently tamed it."

A pink elephant appeared beside Megumi, with strange marks on it

Noritoshi: "It's a big target. (y/n)-san, let's strike first!"

(y/n): "Worry not!"-" "eh?"

Just before he could shoot his cursed energy, (y/n) and Noritoshi were blown away by a large amount of water released by Megumi's shikigami. The wall behind them broke by the pressure of the water. Throwing them out of the building.

Noritoshi: It drove us away with mass and pressure?! Open spaces are bad! That one's next!

The elephant disappeared. Megumi stood by the broken wall and placed his hands together, making the figure of wings.

Megumi:

(y/n):

(y/n) shot Nue before he could attack him or Noritoshi, but ended up plummeting to the ground, since his shots have some recoil. When he's on the ground it normally doesn't show due to the control he has over it, but while being airborne he has nothing to support from.

Nue ended up in one of the rooms below, Megumi released it before it could get killed.

(y/n) slowly stood up, Noritoshi landing next to him, helping him stand up while Megumi landed meters in front of them.

Before they could continue to fight, a giant roots-like structure appeared on one side of the temple, going directly at them

Noritoshi: "What is this?!"

Megumi: "Inumaki-Senpai?!"

Megumi had spotted Toge, which was running on a wall below the wooden structure.

Inumaki:

His cursed technique fell onto their ears and they obeyed, running away from the incoming attack.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in the viewing room, all of the charms on the wall light in red fire, surprising everyone present.

Utahime: "Heh? The game's over? And they all burned red?"

Mei Mei: "That's odd. My crows didn't see anything."

Satoru: "I'd love to say Great Teacher Gojo's student exorcised them all, but..."

Principal Yaga: "The charms will burn red for unregistered cursed energy."

Utahime: "You think it's an outsider? Some invader?"

Mei: "Does this mean Tengen-sama's barrier isn't functioning?"

Principal Yoshinobu: "Whether it's an outsider or not, something unexpected is happening all the same." They must be fairly skilled to exorcise that. Who is it? It can't be him.

Principal Yaga: "I'm going to Tengen-sama. Satoru and Principal Gakujanji, please protect the students. Mei, you stay here and identify the locations of the students. Stay in contact with the other two."

Mei: "Fully understood. I look forward to the bonus."

Satoru clapped his hands as he looked at Principal Yoshinobu, getting his attention.

Satoru: "Come on, Gramps! Time for a walk! You just finished your lunch, didn't you?"

Which Principal Yoshinobu ignored. Or at least tried to.

Utahime: "Let's hurry."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Megumi, Toge, (y/n), and Noritoshi, were running away from the branch, running on the paths, trying to get the farthest away from it.

Until one of the wooden gates in front of them broke, sending a cloud of dust and debris to them.

Meanwhile, some meters outside the temple the four were in, a mysterious mand with an ax was standing, with a special nail in front.

???: "They're really going at it. But you know, those cursed spirits don't leave anything behind when they die. I can't make anything from them!"

He used the backside of the ax to hammer the nail, causing a bell sound.

Juzo: "Was that good enough? Oh, right, that."

A veil began to emerge from above the Curse race zone -

Juzo: "Oh, good, good. I can't wait for that Satoru coat rack."

The senseis were running to the entrance of the event area, watching as the veil formed. The students inside also saw how they were about to get trapped.

The veil finally was about to finish forming, just in front of the Senseis.

Utahime: "Gojo! You go ahead before the veil comes down!"

Satoru: "No, not happening."

Utahime: "Huh?!"

Satoru: "The veil's practically complete already. They prioritized its effect on cursed techniques over its visual effect. They're good."

They ran until they were in front of the veil.

Satoru: "Well, now that it's down, I just need to break it."

He placed his hand on the veil, but an immediate small explosion occurred, sending Satoru few steps back with smoke on his hand.

Satoru: What's this odd feeling?

Utahime: "Hey... Why are you being kept out while I'm able to enter?"

She had her hand passing the veil, thing which surprised them.

Satoru: "I get it now. Utahime, Gramps, you go ahead. This veil... is a barrier that allows all others to go in and out in return for denying Gojo Satoru entry."

Utahime: "Eh?!" True, that would make everything add up. But if they're able to use a barrier to keep a specific individual out...

Satoru: "They must have quite the skilled curse user. That, and they have a degree of intel on us. Go on, get moving. I don't know what their goal is, but we lose if even one of us dies."

Utahime and Principal Yoshinobu entered the veil, immediately feeling a curse presence.

Utahime: What a strong curse presence! Don't tell me a special-grade curse is here!

Juzo: "Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Gojo Satoru's not here!

Principal Yoshinobu: Curse user... He's not the source of this presence, but he's quite capable.

Juzo: "That degenerate monk tricked me."

Principal Yoshinobu: "Utahime, go on ahead. Protecting the students is our priority. Avoid fighting as much as possible."

Juzo: "Hey, hang on! At least let me kill the woman! I can't make anything from an old man's hollow bones and wrinkled skin!"

Principal Yoshinobu opened the case he was carrying and threw it to the side, folding the top of the robe he was wearing. Revealing an electric guitar with his metal band shirt.

Principal Yoshinobu: "Why don't you kill me, and find out if they're hollow?"

Juzo: "Go off and drink some milk first, old fart."

Jujutsu Short!

Mai: "(y/n)-Kun! Leave the damn porcupine alone already!"

(y/n): "Are you sure we can't keep it?"

Mai: "No!"

(y/n): "But look at it!"

Mai: "You can't even see it!"

(y/n): "I do! Look at the way it is looking at me!"

Mai: "You're both blind!"

(y/n): "We're not blind!"

Mai: "Still! You can't just grab a wild animal and take it! It's illegal!"

(y/n): "Screw what's legal! What are they gonna do? Arrest me? Who? The porcupine police?"

Mai: "Yes!"

(y/n): "It ain't matter!"

Mai: "You know what?! If you're not going to leave it there..."

(y/n): "What?"

Mai: "I'll shoot the damn thing!"

(y/n): "Wait! Mai- Stop!-"
