Even though Suguru Geto had said he would arrive at dawn, everyone had tacitly agreed to go on alert ahead of time.
So when Satoru Gojo brought Aikawa Kaze and the others to Kyoto Jujutsu High through a Teleportation Circle, the other side was already waiting in battle formation on the athletic field.
