After Junpei was brought back to Jujutsu High, he followed regulations and went to Masamichi to be beaten up by a doll, after which Satoru arranged his dormitory and training plan.
The others were preparing for the Goodwill Event.
Soon, the day of the event arrived, and the students from Kyoto Jujutsu High came to the Tokyo School. Yuji and Shin were leisurely soaking up the sun when they suddenly heard a commotion not far away.
It turned out that the sisters, Mai and Maki, were bickering again.
Nobara was standing beside Maki, angrily retorting at Mai, while Megumi was confronting Todo Aoi. The rest of the Kyoto Jujutsu High students were standing on the sidelines, watching the show.
Junpei stood nearby, at a loss, not knowing what to say, so Shin had no choice but to take Yuji over to check things out.
"What's going on? The Goodwill Event is about to start, is it really necessary to bicker right now?"
Nobara pointed at Mai and said, "Kagura, this woman came over to provoke us first. We can't just stand by and watch Maki-san get bullied."
Mai frivolously denied it, "I didn't provoke anyone. I'm just stating facts. As I said, why would someone who can't even see Cursed Spirits want to be a Jujutsu Sorcerer?"
Shin's lips twitched.
He really wanted to say that being a tsundere was out of fashion, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. Now that he was standing on the side of the Tokyo School, he really ought to make a statement.
"If you want to warm up before the match starts, then I'll accompany you to the end."
"Domain Expansion: Genesis!"
Shin simply brought his index fingers together lightly, and everyone from Tokyo Jujutsu High and Kyoto Jujutsu High was pulled into the domain.
Shin had spent a whole day finally learning a partial Domain Expansion. By using a Binding Vow to shrink the domain's range, the Guaranteed Hit effect within the domain was enhanced. Ordinary Simple Domains could not neutralize the Guaranteed Hit effect of Genesis.
The students from Kyoto Jujutsu High got serious, their Cursed Energy rising all at once.
Megumi asked, "Kagura, didn't Gojo-sensei say you couldn't use Domain Expansion?"
Shin said, "That's for after the Goodwill Event begins. It's not time yet."
Kamo Noritoshi said, "The rules are indeed that way, but if you use Domain Expansion now, you should still be in the Cursed Technique Burnout period during the Goodwill Event shortly. How will you fight then?"
"That's none of your concern. Eat my poisonous potion first."
Miwa Kasumi immediately unleashed New Shadow Style: Simple Domain, instantly shattering the flying bottle, successfully causing all her teammates nearby to be afflicted with the poison effect.
Shin had used a weaker version, ensuring that they would at least stay alive.
After the domain was dispelled, everyone from Kyoto Jujutsu High lay on the ground with purple-black faces, coughing up blood incessantly, even Todo Aoi was not spared.
First, because of his trust in his teammates, he believed that Miwa Kasumi's Simple Domain was enough to deal with the domain Shin hadn't prepared seriously for.
Second, his Cursed Technique was ill-suited for fighting inside a domain.
Boogie Woogie was neutralized too severely within someone else's domain. Both the Cursed Energy consumption and the time required to activate it increased significantly.
Also standing nearby were Satoru, Gakuganji Yoshinobu, Masamichi, Mei Mei, Iori Utahime, and others who had sensed someone using a Domain Expansion here.
Gakuganji Yoshinobu's expression was not very pleasant. After all, having his school's students beaten up like this would make anyone's expression sour.
Satoru looked a bit embarrassed, but he still patted Shin on the shoulder as if nothing happened and said, "I retract what I said earlier. This kid actually quite likes using Domain Expansion. Hahahaha..."
Masamichi explained, "Just now, Satoru said that even if there were no rules forbidding the use of domains, you wouldn't use them because he said you didn't like to."
—
In the end, under the glare of Masamichi and Yoshinobu, Shin threw a Splash Potion of Regeneration and Healing to restore the Kyoto Jujutsu High students to their peak, so as not to affect the upcoming Goodwill Event.
...
In an open space resembling a movie theater, Satoru held a microphone and loudly announced the rules, "The Cursed Spirits in the field all have paper talismans. Points will be calculated based on the different Cursed Energy used to exorcise them. Since Tokyo Jujutsu High has Maki, kills without Cursed Energy and kills with unrecorded Cursed Energy will all count for Tokyo Jujutsu High."
"The rules have been announced. Now, let's have Utahime-sensei give the pre-match declaration."
"Eh? That... um... everyone..."
"Alright, thank you to Utahime-sensei for her wonderful speech."
Utahime: "..."
—
Since Yuji did not eat Sukuna's finger this time, the students from Kyoto Jujutsu High did not receive orders to eliminate him, so this time both sides were very seriously exorcising Cursed Spirits to earn points.
Tokyo Jujutsu High had Megumi, who could summon Divine Dogs to track Cursed Spirits by scent, giving them an inherent advantage over Kyoto Jujutsu High.
Therefore, if Kyoto Jujutsu High wanted to win the Goodwill Event, they had to either find the Semi-Grade 1 Cursed Spirit first or locate the Tokyo Jujutsu High team to disrupt their scoring.
Relying on her Tool Manipulation, Nishimiya Momo flew through the air on a broomstick, searching for the Tokyo Jujutsu High team, while the others from Kyoto Jujutsu High followed below.
Aside from the individuals who appeared in the original plot, Kyoto Jujutsu High had added one extra Jujutsu Sorcerer to offset the difference in numbers caused by Shin. He looked somewhat similar to Kamo Noritoshi, though he was thinner and carried a giant sack on his back, the contents of which were unknown.
Suddenly, Momo called out from the air, "Found them! Everyone, hurry and follow me!"
The Kyoto Jujutsu High team immediately entered combat mode and accelerated toward the Tokyo team's position.
