After the fifteen minute break was over, Momoka is sitting besides Maki under the tree's shade, her legs still raised close to her chest.

"How to carry a curse tool?" Panda asks

"I agree to using special weapons to enhance close range combat." Megumi responded, pressing his palms together. "But I would like to keep myself hands free to use techniques. It also uses up time to sheathe a knife."

Momoka snorts. "And I take a whole month for all the twelve tools I use."

"How do you manage them?" Megumi asks to Momoka and Maki.

Maki pointed at Panda who's sitting on a bench in front of her. "I let Panda carry them"

Momoka beamed. "Gojo sensei customized my uniform. I have at least four inner pockets inside my coat."

"Isn't that a hassle when you're running?"

Momoka nodded her head. "It is." she responded, "With or without cards or my cursed tools, I'll do my best on the event. I'll train again without the either or in extreme cases that can't be helped, without both cards and tools."

The following day, right before their training starts, Maki had sent Nobara, Megumi and Momoka on an errand to buy them drinks. Obediently, the three of them went over to where the vending machines are at.

"Here we go." Nobara says, pressing onto the button as one can of juice falls down inside the machine. Two more to go.

"Can't we have more vending machines?" Nobara asks, bending down to get the fallen can.

"As much as I love that idea, were not great in terms of numbers." Momoka responded, cleaning her revolver with the sleeve of her track suit before blowing out air.

"No way. Not many can enter this school." Megumi replies. He was about to turn to face Momoka and say something but two figures stood on the other side of where they are.

Turning around, their faces weren't so familiar to her, except the short haired girl who gave off a similar aura as Maki.

"Why are you here, Zenin san?" Megumi asks

"Oh, I knew it. She gives off similar vibes. Are they sisters?" Nobara asks.

"They are twins." Megumi responded.

"Gosh, Fushiguro. If you call me that, it will be the same as Maki." Mai responded, placing a hand under her cheek. "Call me Mai instead."

"Among you three, none of you are worthy to be called as our opponents." Todo says, pointing at the three of them. "And these two are substitutes for Okkotsu and the third year students?"
