Suddenly, he snapped back to reality when he heard Inumaki senpai shout, “𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗲!” His cursed speech triggered a surge of energy, causing the curse to falter. But the cost was high—Inumaki staggered backward, coughing blood.
“Inumaki-senpai!” Yuji sprinted to his side, throwing Inumaki’s arm over his shoulder to support him. The two struggled to keep their footing. “Hang in there!” Yuji urged, worried about how much damage Inumaki's Cursed Speech had taken on his body.
Just then, Maki Zen'in spoke up, her voice cool despite the chaos. “The more we kill them, the more they multiply.”
Nobara grunted in frustration, gripping her hammer tightly. “This is going to be a long night,” she muttered.
Panda, ever the calm, added, “Agreed.”
Megumi remained silent, only nodding in confirmation.

Maki swung her cursed tool, slicing through several of the smaller curses with deadly precision. Each swing echoed with sharp intensity, her movements fluid despite the exhaustion weighing on her.
Nobara followed suit, slamming her nails into the ground and using her Straw Doll Technique to detonate another wave of curses. “Damn it! There's no end to these things!” she shouted, frustration seeping through her words.
Panda roared, charging through a cluster of curses, sending them flying with raw strength. Beside him, Megumi summoned his Shikigami, the black and white Divine Dogs tearing through the battlefield, but even they were showing signs of strain.
Meanwhile, Yuji stayed close to Inumaki, guarding him while dealing with any curses that came their way. Despite the overwhelming odds, his punches were as relentless as ever, but the special grade curse still loomed, barely phased.
Without warning, the special grade unleashed a devastating blast of cursed energy, causing a massive explosion. The six students were thrown into the air, their bodies flailing as the shockwave hit them.
But before they could hit the ground, a sudden force caught them mid-air. A strange energy pulsed, gently placing them back onto the ground, completely healed.
Yuji's eyes widened as he looked around. “What just happened?” He turned, and there he saw him—Gojo Satoru, standing effortlessly behind them.

"𝙂𝙤𝙟𝙤 𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙞!!"
Both Yuji and Nobara shouted with excitement. "Gojo Sensei!!" Their voices echoed with relief, but instead of his usual playful demeanor, Gojo didn’t even glance at them.
Instead, his focus was solely on the special grade curse as he walked forward, eyes sharp behind his blindfold.
Yuji blinked, confused. "I know this isn’t the best time to talk, but… don’t you think Gojo-sensei’s acting kinda weird?”
