Tokyo - Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event, Day 3: Individual Competition!
"Hello everyone, I'm a useless Miwa. Although I say I'm useless, I'm not that useless, at least that's how I see it."
"But when Special Grade Cursed Spirit attacked, and everyone was fighting for their lives, I was fast asleep. It's so embarrassing. Also, my sword... who broke it? Was it Mai's sister?"
"And so, the Goodwill Event that was initially thought to be canceled is now... in the midst of a the King of Fighters PK battle, after a day of rest!"
Inside a secluded building behind the teaching building on the Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Wow! That's spectacular!
"What's going on?! How come I never discovered such a wonderful place before?"
"Your school is truly... a hidden gem..."
After hearing Noritoshi Kamo's teasing Megumi Fushiguro shook his head helplessly. "This is Amaha -sensei's private territory. Normally, only Gojo -sensei and Geto- sensei can come and go freely. You could say it's a paradise for them to escape missions and have fun."
The spacious hall was filled with all sorts of game consoles and Mirai displays showing the scores of Igarashi Amaha and his two companions so far. In addition, the walls of the hall were adorned with a dazzling array of world-famous paintings and various high-end Cursed Tool, truly embodying the word "wealthy" to the fullest.
Noritoshi Kamo suddenly stopped walking, his gaze fixed on a series of famous paintings on the wall. He exclaimed in disbelief, "This... this is...' Sunflowers '! And this...'Exchange'... No, no way... it's actually ' Salvator Mundi '... Sold to a mysterious person at Christie's's in 2017 for 450 million dollars...450 million dollars, that's over 60 billion yen... What the hell..."
"Ah, you mean this? A few years ago, Teacher Amaha brought it back from his trip. He said it had the power to ward off evil spirits, so he hung it on the wall. But now he's given it to Senior Okkotsu as an extra reward for helping out." Megumi Fushiguro yawned and patiently explained.
"What?! It was given to Okkotsu? Really?!" Noritoshi Kamo's head was wrapped in a thick bandage, and his appearance made him look rather comical.
Megumi Fushiguro waved her hand dismissively. "Why would I lie to you? Amaha is very generous. Just the few times I covered for him in front of Principal Yaga, the reward I received was almost as much as the entire Kamo Clan's wealth."
"Do you think it's too late for me to transfer schools now?" Noritoshi Kamo's expression was serious, and he was a little excited inside. All the efforts he was making now were to gain the family's approval. Only in this way could he make his mother's life better. But now, even a lowly servant who serves tea and water can become the richest man. What's the point of him working so hard?
"Uh... you should ask Principal Yaga about that." Megumi Fushiguro was a little confused. What was going on? It was just a few hundred million, was it really that big of a deal?
He grew up alongside Igarashi Amaha since childhood, and the concept of money had long since faded from his mind. After all, from childhood to adulthood, no matter which country or city Igarashi Amaha was in, he could always ask for anything with a simple word and never spent any money. As a result, the only money he had spent on soda and ramen was now.
Slap! Slap!
"Everyone, please be quiet." Igarashi Amaha clapped his hands and addressed the crowd, "Based on the unanimous decision of our two schools, the Goodwill Event not be canceled. Instead, we will hold individual battles in a different format. As you've all seen, there are various game machines in the hall. That's right, that's the format for these individual battles. You will all draw lots to choose your opponents. Each match will be a single-elimination game, and the winner will advance to the next round. If both players are from the same school in the finals, that school will automatically become the winner and claim victory in the individual battle. Furthermore, the person who fights to the very end will receive a special mystery gift sponsored by Igarashi! Good luck, everyone!"
"Teacher," Yuji Itadori, sitting in the audience, raised his hand and asked, "Could you tell me in advance what the mystery gift is?"
"Well, it could be a sports car, a villa, or even Cursed Tool. What it is depends on your luck. Alright, everyone, come forward and draw lots."
As Igarashi Amaha finished speaking, students from both schools lined up and took turns drawing lots.
Yuji Itadori vs Aoi Todo
Megumi Fushiguro vs. Noritoshi Kamo
Nobara Kugisaki vs. Momo Nishimiya
Maki vs Mai
Panda vs. Mechamaru
Toge Inumaki vs. Kasumi Miwa
"Alright! You've all found your opponents. Now, it's time for the tense and exciting PK round! Physical contact between contestants is not allowed during the competition. Anyone who violates this rule will be considered to have automatically forfeited. Oh, and since this is a PK between Jujutsu Sorcerer, the use of Cursed Technique is permitted. Everyone, use your abilities wisely!" After saying this, Igarashi Amaha gave a sly smile.
Round One – Yuji Itadori vs. Aoi Todo, let's begin!
Just as Igarashi Amaha was about to watch the excitement, Satoru Gojo suddenly pulled him aside.
"What's going on? I'm really looking forward to this competition that I planned." Igarashi Amaha looked puzzled.
Satoru Gojo rubbed his forehead. " Amaha, have you forgotten something?"
"No? What's wrong?"
"No, think about it again."
"Hmm... did you forget to smoke?"
"Damn it, check if any of our students are missing." Satoru Gojo said speechlessly, pulling Igarashi Amaha and pointing at the other students.
Igarashi Amaha scratched his head in confusion and started counting them one by one, " Itadori, Kugisaki, Little Megumi, Inumaki, Maki, Panda, yes, six in total, no more, no less, exactly."
Smack
Satoru Gojo slapped himself on the head, looking at Igarashi Amaha, whose face seemed to say "I'm not wrong," and said, "Where's Higuruma? Where's your new student, Hiromi Higuruma?"
"Uh... damn it! I forgot!"
*Slap. Igarashi Amaha also slapped himself on the head.
Completely bewildered, Igarashi Amaha and Satoru Gojo stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"Should we... tell him the Goodwill Event been postponed?"
"Whose mother keeps pushing this out until next year?"
"The thing is, I really forgot! He said he wasn't used to life at the Jujutsu High, so I told him to go back and wait for my call. He'd be there in a bit... I got busy playing games... and then I forgot... It's all Teacher Yaga's and Old Man Gakuganji's fault for not reminding me."
"You dislocated the old man's arm that day, everyone's attention was diverted, who remembers this?"
"... Forget it, never mind, watching the game is the most important thing. Tell him to get used to it for another year. He doesn't have experience this year, so next year he can learn. If he's not happy about it, he can just keep it to himself. Anyway, he can't beat me."
After saying that, Igarashi Amaha waved his hand impatiently and ran off to watch the match, leaving Satoru Gojo standing there dejectedly.
He's looking forward to using Cursed Technique to fight in the King of Fighters.
I'm asking for everything, thank you for your support.
