On the day of the Goodwill Event, everyone from Tokyo Jujutsu High was waiting for the arrival of the personnel from Kyoto Jujutsu High.
Although there was a small episode where Kugisaki misunderstood something, everyone just laughed it off.
Seeing Fushiguro Shin, who hadn't shown his face for a month, everyone was exceptionally enthusiastic.
Because Itadori had been practicing with everyone from time to time, it didn't really feel like a long-awaited reunion for him.
Upon seeing Fushiguro Shin, Maki was the first to complain, "Honestly, you suddenly vanished despite what you promised."
Fushiguro Shin made a gesture of begging for mercy and apologized.
"Sorry, because I revealed my true strength, I was dragged off to be used as labor. Once things aren't so busy, I'll definitely spar with Senior Maki."
As he spoke, Fushiguro Shin opened his phone, which was densely packed with mission requests from the past month.
Maki took the phone and flipped through the mission logs, while the others leaned in curiously to take a look.
"This..."
Megumi Fushiguro stared blankly at the massive volume of missions. He hadn't expected that when Fushiguro Shin was busy, he would handle four or five missions a day, even when the locations were very far apart.
Megumi Fushiguro suddenly felt a sense of shame. Even though he possessed a Domain and had obtained the title of Second-Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer earlier than his brother, Fushiguro Shin, and was currently being evaluated for promotion to First-Grade...
He not only lacked the ability to stand on his own but even felt cowardice when facing a Special Grade.
Meanwhile, his older brother had been hiding his strength all along, staying by his side to protect him.
Ultimately, it was because he was a burden to his brother.
Fushiguro Shin looked at Megumi Fushiguro, whose expression seemed off, and said, "I won't be able to participate with you this time. Let me see the results of your month of training."
Panda and Kugisaki were the first to react, asking in surprise, "Shin, you're not participating?"
Everyone felt that even though Okkotsu wasn't here this time, with Fushiguro Shin present, they would surely crush Kyoto Jujutsu High with ease.
Hearing this, Satoru Gojo wagged his finger and said, "You can't rely on others. For certain reasons, Shin won't be representing Tokyo Jujutsu High this time, but he will be at the scene to observe your battles."
Beside him, Yaga looked bewildered and asked, "What did you just say? I don't remember arranging such a thing."
Yaga's brow furrowed upon hearing this demand.
It was at this moment that the personnel from Kyoto Jujutsu High arrived, and Yoshinobu Gakuganji also asked with a frown.
"What did you just say?"
Satoru Gojo glanced at Yoshinobu Gakuganji with a smile and explained, "I just said that Shin will be responsible for patrolling the battle site. If any problems arise, he can handle them immediately. He won't interfere with the exchange event."
Yoshinobu Gakuganji's face darkened slightly, clearly contemplating how this sudden development would affect his plans.
If that was the case, would he step in to stop them when they killed Itadori?
Seeing Yoshinobu Gakuganji remain silent, Satoru Gojo continued to explain, "You can rest easy this time. Shin has already set a Binding Vow for himself; he will not attack the students of Kyoto Jujutsu High during the competition."
Yaga's expression softened; if that was the case, it wasn't unacceptable.
The teachers of the high school would only be outside the venue, responsible for monitoring through the transmitted images.
Given that Fushiguro Shin definitely wouldn't lose control, he could be considered the most reliable student besides the teachers. With him there, one really wouldn't have to worry about unexpected situations.
Especially with the recent incident involving Mahito and the existence of Itadori, one really needed to pay attention to sudden emergencies.
Since it had reached the point of a Binding Vow, Yoshinobu Gakuganji naturally had no reason to object.
Under normal circumstances, the students of Kyoto Jujutsu High would have felt that Tokyo Jujutsu High was taking it easy because Yuta Okkotsu hadn't come.
But because of Fushiguro Shin's appearance, all of that had changed.
Although the people from Kyoto Jujutsu High had never met Fushiguro Shin, they all recognized him from photographs.
Naturally, they were all aware that the person being surrounded on the Tokyo side was Fushiguro Shin.
Likewise, they weren't deceived by the gentle appearance on Fushiguro Shin's face.
From the photos they had received, they had already witnessed Aoi Todo's miserable state.
They were also quite shocked that someone of Aoi Todo's strength could be beaten to such an extent without any ability to fight back.
Even the hands he used to perform Boogie Woogie had been directly severed.
They all simultaneously recalled Yoshinobu Gakuganji's instructions before they departed.
"I have already requested that Fushiguro Shin, who injured Aoi Todo, be prohibited from participating in the exchange event, so you don't need to worry about him. However, there is one thing to note: do not touch his younger brother, Megumi Fushiguro. Otherwise, it's hard to guarantee what he might do. Do not let it affect our plan, remember that!"
The plan Yoshinobu Gakuganji mentioned was, naturally, the plan for everyone to focus their fire and kill Itadori during the team battle of the exchange event.
Everyone naturally looked toward Megumi Fushiguro, the target Principal Yoshinobu Gakuganji had warned them absolutely never to harm.
Kamo Noritoshi looked at Megumi Fushiguro and Fushiguro Shin, muttering to himself, "Both flow with the blood of the Zenin Family, yet they are indeed much stronger than the main family."
"Tsk."
Mai Zenin was annoyed, but she couldn't deny that what Kamo Noritoshi said was the truth.
In fact, she still had lingering fears about what happened that day.
If Aoi Todo hadn't sent Megumi Fushiguro flying back then, and if she hadn't been lecturing Kugisaki but had also participated in the intimidation of Megumi Fushiguro, would her hands still be there now?
Ultimate Mechamaru stared at Fushiguro Shin, silently clenching his fist.
From the known intelligence, he knew that Fushiguro Shin was also a being with a Heavenly Restriction.
He also knew from the Aoi Todo incident that Fushiguro Shin not only possessed the powerful body brought by Heavenly Restriction but also somehow obtained an incredibly vast amount of Cursed Energy.
He was unwilling. Why was he affected by a Heavenly Restriction that caused him to be born without a right hand and the flesh below his knees, with no sensation below his waist, and skin so fragile it couldn't even withstand moonlight, constantly accompanied by pain as if every pore in his body were being pierced by needles? Such a tragic price was paid to gain power.
Why didn't Fushiguro Shin have to? Why could Fushiguro Shin exclusively enjoy the positive gains of a Heavenly Restriction without having to pay the price!
And he, in order to restore his body, even needed to cooperate with those Cursed Spirits.
Kokichi Muta, who was observing Fushiguro Shin through Ultimate Mechamaru, muttered through gritted teeth.
"Fushiguro Shin... Fushiguro Shin, on what basis can you do this!"
Watching the interaction between Megumi Fushiguro and Fushiguro Shin, Mai thought of what Shin had done for Megumi, and for some reason, she felt a bit envious of that excessive protection.
She always remembered that when they were little, Maki also protected her like Shin did, but when did it start to change...
