The Tokyo students were already in the battle field. The team will be divided into Megumi's squad and panda's squad , meanwhile Itadori will take on Todo and inumaki will be responsible for exorcising the curse for the event.

Maki spots a curse similar to spiders and lunges at it. "NO STOP" Panda yelled, warning her. Everyone was blown away as the Kyoto student Todo appeared. Itadori distracted him, giving others the opportunity to split into their squads. You glanced at the pink haired boy for one last time, before leaving with Maki and Megumi.

Nishimiya momo was attacked by Megumi's bird like shikigami 'nue'. You took a deep breath, collecting your thoughts to focus on the cursed energy in the surroundings. The Kyoto students moving in a group was quite suspicious. The realisation came falling down, their objective was to kill Itadori Yuji. The second year female went to take down Miwa kasumi. 

You, Megumi and Kamo stood readily for the battle. You closed your eyes, focusing your senses on cursed energy in the area. It would be considered a foolish move to stand, off guard infront of an opponent,in a competition which has no rules. Fushiguro's brows furrowed, perplexity visible in his expression. Unbeknownst to all, You was preparing to unleash the trick up your sleeve. Fushiguro darted his gaze back to Noritoshi, to engage in a fight with him. 

You need to hold on for a little longer, your extension technique will soon grasp the core of cursed energy of the sorcerers here. Two spheres form under the both sorcerers who were engaged in combat. The outline of circular marking under their feet glowing, tiny purple flames surrounding them. Both the males halt their movements, being aware of the fact that it's you , who is doing this. "You are holding back . Aren't you Kamo?" You asked, eyes shut closed, feeling his curse energy levels. He posses more than what he shows. You gauge your fellow classmate's cursed energy. He carries the amount of potential to reach the strongest's level, however he limits himself , not thriving to reach his full potential. 

"Is there something else to the picture other than killing Itadori. Because of which you are holding back?" Your words didn't agitate the kamo clan's  heir but for sure got him defensive. He pulled out an arrow. Your whole attention on his cursed energy, you clenched your fists by your side. It has been quite a while since you manipulated someone's cursed energy. You tone down the efficiency of his cursed energy. The circular marking around him  glowing brighter, his cursed energy lowering to the point of the grade weaker than the grade 4 of sorcerers. 

The arrow no longer had cursed energy imbued into it. Both the ravenette's stared at you flabbergasted. Megumi can easily take him down in the fight. You've successfully managed to weaken his cursed energy, all you need to do is keep your control over the state of his cursed energy. But you jinxed it like always. A special grade lurking in the forests of jujutsu tech. Your attention drifting to the special grade's presence you feel, the control you had over kamo slipping. 

As soon as Noritoshi felt his cursed energy become the same, he shot an arrow towards you. Fushiguro released his toad shikigami to catch the arrow before it hits you. You shot open your eyes, giving up on the idea of special grade. The tip of arrow touches your arm before the toad pulls it away through it's tongue. 

You summoned one of the curse you absorbed recently on the missions . This would be the perfect chance to test them out. Kamo shot multiple arrows at the both Tokyo students. You and fushiguro dodge the attacks with all might. Your curse shielding both of you, his shikigamis collecting the arrows. 

"You can summon more than one shikigami at a time"

"I'm aware. You are running out of arrows, don't want you to pass out with amenia"

"These were just prepared ahead of time"

When both the males conversed, you try to feel the presence of the special grade curse you felt earlier. It was suspicious. Why would there be a special grade curse especially during the exchange event? You sigh, you wish to activate your extension technique but you can't risk letting down your guard. More fighting eachother and some words fushiguro and kamo shared with eachother.you jumped up in the air, summoning another curse and  standing on it as it flys in the air . Kamo opened his one eye, blood spreading around it. You don't get what's wrong with the guy, trying to sympathize with Fushiguro. 

"I intend to kill Itadori Yuji"

"On your principal's orders"

"It's my personal decision too. I believe it's the right call. You should be able to understand that too. You and I are the same " 

"No we're not"

Fushiguro deadpan at the male and so did you from your spot. Kamo once again repeated his words, trying to convince fushiguro was no different from him. Fushiguro denied reasoning he's no longer connected to Zenins. "Besides I don't think I'm a right person. No I'm wrong. I don't think I'm a either  good person or a bad person. I have my own sense of morals. And I'll save people with it, who i want to. If it offends you then all we can do is curse ourselves" The ravenette's words were sure a punch to the gut for morally grey people. 

Fushiguro's cursed energy increased, as he once again did a hand gesture for summoning his shikigami. A huge toad appeared behind kamo, the Kyoto student turned back, attacking the toad. When he once again faces Megumi, you summoned a curse similar to the snake. It wrapped itself around kamo, keeping him still. The ten shadows user summoned the max elephant, which flooded the area with water. 

The wall breaking, water flowing outside into an open space, the opponent going with the flow of water. "Nue" Megumi yelled, summoning the bird shikigami. Kamo slammed the packet of blood on the snake looking curse around him, the blood spilling all over it. He freed himself from the curse. "Blood manipulation: crimson binding" At his words, blood cages the snake curse. You clicked your tongue, motioning the curse you are standing on ,to lead you towards him. 

Megumi summoned nue but kamo got rid of it through crimson binding too. You summoned two curses , cornering Kamo as he lands down. You stare down at him, from above, standing on your curse. You jumped down from there. Dust surrounding both of you for a second or two, before the air clears. You was standing right infront of him. "I'm done with people hurting my curses" You mutter to yourself. You raise your leg to land a roundhouse kick. 

"Blood manipulation : Slicing exorcism"

A beam of blood from his hand, pierced through your arm, pushing you backwards. You steadied your position, doing a flip. His arrows must had blood on them, you remember he clearly didn't miss. Even if it was just the tip of the arrow that touched your arm. Fushiguro rushed over where you and Noritoshi are. Megumi lunges at him and so Noritoshi. Your curses joining from sides. You gripped your bleeding arm. 

The familiar cursed energy you've been feeling from quite a time today increased. The presence of special grade inched closer, the outburst seen behind. Megumi and Noritoshi stops. You call your curses back. You can't lose your curses just like this, when you've suffered so much to absorb them. Giving a jerk to your arm, you stretch. "It's an intruder. A special grade" You stated, making way between the both guys. Blood dripping down your arm .
