"By the way, we came to ask the three of you to join the goodwill event," Kizaru said to Megumi. Itadori and Nobara looked confused before Megumi explained.
"The goodwill event is a competition between Tokyo High and Kyoto. It is held in the middle of the year every year." Megumi explained, and Itadori slammed his hand into his palm with an enlightened look.
"Awesome! So we will fight this other school?" Itadori asked with excitement as he clenched his fist. Kizaru nodded, and Megumi let out a tired sigh.
"I will join," Megumi said before Nobara and Itadori echoed his words. Kizaru nodded with a smile, and the seven spent their time chilling for the rest of the day.
[Mahito incident.]
Itadori looked at the floor, stained with blood. His fists were shaking as he remembered how he killed those humans whom he thought were cursed. The vision of their blood staining his hands looped in his head.
"Itadori... It's not your fault." Megumi sighed as he looked at his friend. Nanami's glasses narrowed as he looked at Yuji. If the kid can't overcome this, he cannot be a sorcerer.
Letting out a sigh with a shaky breath. Itadori opened his eyes with a silent fury as his shaking hands stopped. He turned to Megumi with a smile.
"I am fine, Megumi. But I can't deny that I am shaking with an anger I never felt before." Itadori said. Megumi and Nanami looked at Itadori with surprise before sighing in relief.
[Nanami...]
Nanami pushed his glasses higher on his nose as he sensed Mahito's CE residuals. The curse left his cursed energy as an open invitation into his lair.
"I should go alone. I don't want to put Megumi and Itadori in unnecessary danger." Nanami muttered as he entered the dirty lair. His senses were on alert for Mahito.
Boom!
The ground collapses, and Nanami jumps out of the way as two long arms burst through the floor. Mahito jumped out with a smirk on his face. Nanami quickly takes his sword out.
"Oh! You're fast!" Mahito said with a child-like curse. Nanami looked at Mahito before rushing in a crescent shape towards him. Mahito lunged at Nanami and punched the side of his sword.
Boom!
Nanami deflected the punch and slashed Mahito's head. The curse shrank his head, and the sword missed, taking the opportunity to punch Nanami in the stomach.
Nanami instantly knew he had to defend the attack, and his sword left his hand, flying in the air as it blocked Mahito's punch. The blade was sent into Nanami's chest, and he jumped back.
"Wow! That was cool!" Mahito praised with a smile as he sent two souls towards Nanami. The souls left Mahito's hands like bullets. Nanami groaned as he dodged, the souls smashing the walls behind him into two massive holes.
"I need to call him." Nanami jumped back and took out his phone. Mahito watched curiously with a mile. Nanami pressed a few numbers and jumped away right as Mahito attacked.
[Kizaru.]
Kizaru sat there, watching Panda and Inumaki train. He was bored out of his mind since there were still a few days left until the prime minister revealed the existence of cursed energy.
Snap back to reality!
"Hmmm?" Kizaru took his phone out and accepted the call. The sounds of explosions were heard on the other side. Nanami only said one word before Kizaru stood up.
"Help."
Pew!
Kizaru appeared above Tokyo and sensed every life in it. Sensing Nanami and another malicious cursed energy engaging in battle, Kizaru charged there.
Appearing at the entrance of the sewer, Kizaru rushed in with Soru and appeared behind Mahito, who attacked Nanami. Nanami looked behind Mahito, who looked back instinctively.
Clang!
Kizaru smirked as he covered his fist with Armament haki. Mahito trembled as deep within his soul, he felt that the punch would kill him in an instant.
"Rokugan!"
Boom!
Nanami leapt to the side, narrowly avoiding a powerful shockwave that shattered Mahito into fragments. The ground buckled, creating a trench hundreds of meters long.
The smoke drifted into the sky, covering Kizaru and the remains of Mahito. Kizaru's eyes suddenly flashed a black colour for a split second. Nanami narrowed his eyes as he saw a dark flash in the smoke.
Kizaru grinned as he felt Mahito's life fade like a candle in a storm. His armament haki can hit the spirit. This allowed him to hurt people like Mahito.
The entire sewer immediately collapsed from the damage. Taking Nanami in hand, Kizaru vanished outside and smirked as he put Nanami down.
"Wow, that was close, huh?" Kizaru said, and Nanami sighed as he smoothed his roughed-up suit. His eyes looked at Kizaru with hidden shock.
'That punch... He is a monster in strength, just like Gojo, Nanami thought. Kizaru sighed as he sensed a bit of awe and detachment from Nanami.
'So this is what Gojo feels... How lonely it is at the top.' Kizaru sighed before turning into light and flying away. He did not even spare a glance at Nanami.
[Nagi Yoshino.]
Nagi stared at his son with a smile, her eyes holding back tears as Megumi and Itadori talked with him.
"How about coming to Tokyo Jujutsu High with Megumi and me?" Itadori asked with a smile while Megumi finished the home-cooked meal. Nagi had cooked for the occasion.
Pew!
Before Junpei could answer, a beam appeared outside the window. Kizaru walked to the door and knocked. Megumi recognised the flash and stood up before opening the door.
"Kizaru? What are you doing here?" Megumi asked in confusion as he let Kizaru in. Kizaru did not talk and just went to a place in the house. Resting behind a furniture was one of Sukuna's fingers, sealed.
Taking the finger, Kizaru moved to Itadori and posted the unsealed finger on his cheek. A mouth appeared, and Sukuna ate the finger under Itadori's watch. He was used to it by now.
"Make sure to be home by 11 PM, or I'll have to punish you," Kizaru said before vanishing. Appearing outside with a sigh. Kizaru looked up at the sky.
"Man, what's gotten into me... I shouldn't care about what anyone thinks about me..." Kizaru thought with a click of his tongue.
"Yeah... The only one that matters is Maki."
