"The Catalyst Curse. One born and bred from an explosion of unprecedented emotion, thousands of years ago. Several Jujutsu Sorcerers tried exorcising or harnessing that pure negativity, but none suceeded. Then, one day, that indefinite amount of ene...
"But wait--doesn't this mess up the teams?" Kamo asked. "It's uneven, isn't it?"
"Glad you can count," you jabbed dryly.
"We knew you were going to participate," Yaga said to you. "So to make the teams even, we recruited another first year."
"First year?" Maki repeated. "You approved of another first year?"
"Yes. Himari." Your brows furrowed as the first year pushed themself to the front of the group.
"Introduce yourself," Gakuganji ordered.
"Hello there, my name is Himari. I'm a first year at the Kyoto location. Nice to meet you!" She bowed deeply.

"Ah, it's nice to meet you too..." Panda replied. Your eyes moved over her--up and down her body. Does she seem a little... familiar? Like a certain vengeful spirit. Shit.
~ "The Tokyo-Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event will be held over two days. The first day is a group battle... the Wacky Cursed Spirit Exorcism Race!"
You sat in the corner of the house, waiting until noon for the event to start. The others were talking amongst themsevles.
"Hey, Y/n!" Nobara yelled to you. "Why didn't you tell us Itadori was alive, dammit!" She pointed at you.
"I couldn't," you replied. "You heard Yuji. If it came out his assassination failed, it would've elicted a strong, unwanted response." No doubt that decayed donut is telling the others to kill Itadori. Probably telling them to try to kill me as well. And? You're gonna stand by and let it happen?Well, it depends who goes after us. Gakuganji should know from experience I will not be killed.
"Y/n-senpai," Maki called. "Do you have a plan? We didn't expect two additions to the strategy."
"Worry about yourselves more so than me," you replied, standing up. "I'm more than capable of killing whoever comes after me. Instead, pool your strengths to protect each other."
"But you're a part of this group," Itadori replied. "So we need to protect you too."
"You don't need to do anything for me," you interjected. "I'll back you guys up." What about 'Himari'?I'll deal with that later.
"They're gonna go after Itadori without a doubt," you went on. "Gallbladder is definitely telling the others to. So protect Itadori if you can and when you can."
~ Your group headed into the middle of the forest, huddled close together.
"We're starting in one minute," Satoru's voice came over the comm. I don't have the patience for this. Get over it, I hate it too. "Now, let's hear a few words of well-appreicated encouragement from Iori Utahime-sensei."
