The curses began to explode before they can reach Y/N and Okkotsu.

Geto then sends another group of curses, a smirk still on his face as he watches the boy show what abilities he can copy. Okkotsu disposes the megaphone, only for Rika to hand him a different item. To be more specific, a taiko.

"Oh what? So were stealing now?" Y/N ask, eyes on the boy. Now this is impressive-never did the first year thought that someone could recreate their lovely drum.

Okkotsu smiles at this. The taiko floats by his side. As the curses Geto sent was about to reach him, he slams his hand down, palm connecting with the drum.

While every individual spirit began to drop like flies to ground, electricity scattering. Y/N stands up, feet on the balcony rails.

"Wonderful!" Geto says, amazed. He watches as his curses burst, sparks acting like small fireworks. Rika truly is a curse that's capable of changing the way the jujutsu society is now.

"Okay, enough!"

If Okkotsu kept this up, he'll end up paralyzing himself. Y/N stretches their limbs, grip tight on their morphed weapon. They jump down to the ground, now face to face with Geto.

Okkotsu is quick to follow, standing beside Y/N with his katana ready.

"You're furious like you've been since you were born. Cursed energy must be filling you to the brim." Geto says, directed to Okkotsu.

"Your physical abilities must be elevated, your five senses sharpened, and it must feel like you could do anything."

Y/N raises a brow when a black warp began appearing beside Geto out of think air. A creature shows itself, resembling a worm. The worm opens its mouth, and Geto pulls out the same three section staff he used on maki earlier.

"Those curses aren't enough for you. Let's try striking you directly." Geto then adds, "Don't interfere too much, Hokori."

Y/N huffs, obviously not going to allow Okkotsu to fight alone.

"You can manipulate curses and you're wielding a special grade weapon. Are you expecting me to listen?" they ask.

"Ah, fair enough." Geto shrugs. Great observation, but if he has to take another kid down, then so be it.

Both Y/N and Okkotsu gets ready to attack.

"Match my movements, Rika." he spares Y/N a glance, "Please assist me."

The first year nods.

"Humans stand at the top of the food chain. The only thing above them is an imaginary god. Don't you think it's strange?"

Geto continues to ramble.

"Us shamans exist without resorting to imagination."

And with no more words said, both Okkotsu and Y/N rushes to Geto. The man had a difficult time trying to hit the both of them as he could only block. Y/N's tryng to aim for his neck, and both Okkotsu and Rika were aiming to stab him.

..!!

Geto blocks them both, their blades on his weapon-playful cloud.

"In the end.. Mokeys are just trying to looks away from those above them." the man says.

"Don't say childish things like wanting to become a god!" Okkotsu says.

"You're missing the point, Okkotsu!"

The man exclaims, curses emerging from below him and attacking both Y/N and Okkotsu.

Y/N clicks the roof of their tongue, quickly slicing the hands that grabbed them. Just as they were about to swing their sword to Geto, something hard hits their face.

"You're..!"

It was the staff. How much power does that have?

"You're insane!"

Y/N yells, watching Okkotsu also get knocked back by the three sectioned staff. Fortunately, Rika catches him before he could collide with a wall nearby.

"I'm taking that as a compliment!" Geto laughs before looking at Okkotsu.

"What i want isn't adoration or to choose people. The weak hide away the strong just because they're majority and sometimes even opress them. What i'm saying is that the impudence of these monkeys is unpleasant to the point of nausea."

Rika calls, "Yuuuta.. Yutaa.."

The boy answers, "I'm fine. I got used to it."

Geto grins, "So no more talking?"

Rika finally lets Okkotsu down from her arms, and the boy lands besides Y/N once again.

"If you don't mind.. I'll go first."

He ask the other first year for permission, grip on the handle of his katana tightening. Y/n scoffs.

"Do your worst."

Okkotsu rushes to the curse user while Y/N stayed back. They watch as Okkotsu imbues his weapon with cursed energy, but there seems to be something odd. Geto had noticed it too.

Then it clicked when Okkotsu swung his wepaon. It shatters immediately, making the boys eyes go wide.

"Oh fuck." Y/N panics, beginning to run over.

"Ah, that's not good." Geto says, "You can't place so much cursed energy at once. The vessel can't handle it."

"Did Satoru not teach you that? Little by lit-"

He really should know when to shut up..

Y/N swings their sword to him, but Geto is quick to roll away. He sends a curse to the first year, only for it to be electrocuted the moment it made contact with Y/N's sword.

"You're both good.."

His heart is still surrounded by cursed energy, and since they transformed their taiko into a weapon, Y/N couldn't do any damage to him unless its with their sword.

Y/n backs away. They're retreating for now.

"I don't know!" Okkotsu suddenly yells, "I don't know how things are for shamans outside the school! I wouldn't know if you're wrong or not!"

"But for me.. For me! To keep being friends with everyone! For me, to keep thinking! That it's okay for me to keep living!"

Y/N could feel the anger kixed with sadness in Okkotsu's voice.

"Then i have to kill you." the boy says, brows furrowed.

Soon enough, Geto gets back on his feet, "Aren't you egoistic?"

"But that self affirmation, surely there's nothing more important than that to keep living." the man continues, "Then i shall kill you too with my own soul. I won't compromise with quantity or quality."

Okkotsu glares at the man.

"Don't bring Hokori into this."

Y/N's eyes widen slightly. They turn to him. Is he really going to sacrifice his life while they're there? No way they'll allow that.

"I won't listen to a child." Geto scoffs, raising his palm, "But did you know? There are five humans known as special class."

"And sixteen curses."

The man didn't expect that he'll be summoning one of the strongest curses he has at his disposal, but with the combination of Rika, Okkotsu, and a Hokori, he felt like it was necessary.

A curse appears next to Geto, seemingly a bit larger than the ones he has summoned earlier.

"This is one of them. Special class imaginary vengeful spirit; Tamamono-mae's avatar."

"And on top of that, i will turn all four thousand and four hundred sixty-one curses that i have into a single one."

"And throw that at the both of you."

"Extreme quantity cursed spirit manipulation. Tornado."

Y/N gulps nervously. Okkotsu is silent, same with Rika, and the air felt so suffocating for the two students-the overwhelming cursed energy that they could feel.. What the hell did Geto summon?

"Okkotsu, i'm very glad i decided to kill you. Before you became able to properly make use of Orimoto Rika."

The boy then turns around, facing his curse. Geto's going to be serious threat in the future. Both to him, his friends, and other sorcerers.

"Rika." he calls.

"Whaaat.." the curse replies.

Y/N watches as Okkotsu embraces Rika. Going back to their observation from before, Y/N assumes that this is it-Okkotsu is about to use Rika in his own way. They just hope it doesn't costs his life to do this one attack.

"Thank you for always protecting me. Thank you for liking me.. Lend me your power one last time. I want to stop this guy. I don't care for anything after that." Okkotsu says,

"i'll give you all my future, heart, and body. We're really gonna be together forever from now on." he continues.

When gojo said that love is the most twisted curse of them all, he wasn't lying.

"I love you, Rika."

"Let's go together?"

Okkotsu places a kiss on the curse, calm expression not faltering. He isn't disgusted or hesitant-he meant every word he said.

This is to save his friends.

To kill Geto Suguru.

"ahh.. Ah."

Y/n waited with baited breath as Rika spoke. It seems like the curse is still processing what Okkotsu had said.

"aaa..aaaAAAAAAA!"

Soon enough, the cursed energy around them increases. Okkotsu then grabs Y/N's arm, pulling them close to him.

"YUUTA! "
