Infinite Treasury in the multiverse.

Chapte 5: Goodwill event arc

It was many weeks as the goodwill event approached. It was an event that was held between the Kyoto and Tokyo schools of jujutsu. The way Gojo explained it to me as he came over a few times between training to educate me on some jujutsu basics, was it was essentially a way for jujutsu society and schools to display their strength to one another. it was essentially a better way to say 'My students are stronger than your students'. 

"I thought jujutsu society was more mature than that" I said outloud as I prepared my gear for the upcoming fight. Even if they were students, it should always be number one priority to be prepared for things like Sukunas dismantle and Slash attack. Thought, its mainly for aesthetic reasons on my part due to Selenas protection. 

"So, what do we exactly do during these events?" I asked Gojo. "It essentially is a team even and one on one combat" said Gojo as he had in his hands some soda. I sighed as that felt lackluster to considering how Grand the even was supposed to be. Me and Gojo were in the vault, as he wanted to explore it. I had no reason to deny him, as I can essentially recall any item I lend out from the vault. 

"By the way, what happened to training with Poseidon?" asked Gojo. "Apparently, his brother was throwing a tantrum over something so he had to call it off" I said to him as I saw Gojo rummaging through various items, especially a sword called Ascalon: blessed blade which force is slain. It was apparently wielded by saint George who slayed a dragon with it. 

"Man, these blades are overpowered" said Gojo as he rummaged a bit more through it. He seemed to settle on something. It was a set of three cups which seemed covered in ethereal light. I was told what it was and it was interesting. Sephiroth Graal, a cup used by Christ at the last supper and allows one to come in contact with the principle of life, granting knowledge of souls and life's creation. 

"This feels powerful" said Gojo as he gazed upon the sacred object which I chuckled. I began to narrate what it was as his eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously?" he asked as I nodded. "Can I have it?" he asked. I nodded and said "Yeah, I have like an infinite amount of them" I said as his jaw dropped low. 

"Seriously?" he asked as he sounded exasperated. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Seriously dude, your the last person to be saying that" I said to him as he laughed. Gojo held the graal with his hands and pushed it into his chest. He seemed frozen for a few minutes, his body being very still as he twitched. 

"Man, that was an overload" said Gojo as he sounded a little out of it. Apparently, his brain, which was accustomed to looking at and analyzing a lot of information was being overwhelmed, which showed how dangerous it was. "But, I understand how to use it though, the power to call forth souls, analyzing the information of souls, and being able to even remove certain weaknesses, what better power for me" said Gojo and he had a certain look on his face, which looked like he was crazed. 

"Gojo, calm down" I said to him as his faced twitched somewhat but his expression reverted back to normal. "Sorry, I was just thinking of how powerful I could make myself and my students" said Gojo, and his dream suddenly came to mind. If he could manipulate the souls of others to accomplish that dream, would that not be possible and make him even more powerful. He could probably even reduce the strain of his own technique for gods sake. 

"I know, but you can worry about that after we leave" I said to him, and I saw him grab one more pair. I looked at him as he said "For Shoko, she could make good use of it". I nodded as someone like her wielding it would make her infinitely more dangerous, not counting him of course. 

We headed outside the door straight to jujutsu high in Tokyo. Despite how modern Tokyo seemed, there was always hints of nature and some deep forests. Perhaps, it may be due to reverence of the spirits, or kami, which dwell there? Or maybe, curses were feared enough in ancient times it was passed down as superstition to be cautious of ridding the world of nature. 

Who knows though? It's an interesting question though.

As we neared the steps up to the school, seated nearby was a box that was reminiscient of those carried around by band groups. "What's that for?" I asked Gojo as he opened the lid to reveal a wild Itadori. "Why?" I asked Gojo in exasperation. "Why, to surprise the students of course!" he said with a smile.

"What harm can there be?" asked Itadori as I looked at him like he was stupid but decided to leave it alone. "Well, lets go and meet up with the students" said Gojo as Itadori went back inside the case and we began to make our way up. It wasn't a long flight of stairs but it was still annoying regardless. 'Why are they so long?' I thought internally. 

As we neared the top, where there was people like Nobara, Megumi, Maki, etc. There was the Tokyo second years, and then there was Utahime and some Kyoto students. I stood there as one looked at me with a confused look. "whose that guy?" whispered one with the most absurd hairdo. It was like two blonde brooms were attached to her head, and what made it even worse was the fact she carried a cursed object in the form of a broom as well. 'Theming is on point' I thought as I saw her quizzical look on me. 

"Hello, I am Thomas Evans" I said as I introduced myself and bowed. I figured it would be good to do a proper greeting and such to give a good impression. "A foreigner?" asked The broomhead who looked even more confused than usual. "Its polite to introduce yourself you know" I said to her as she widened her eyes. 

"Forgive my colleagues manners. My name is Noritoshi Kamo of the Kamo clan" said one who had a peculiar scar next to his eye. "Noritoshi, like the evil one long ago?" I asked in curiosity as he nodded. "It is somewhat tradition to name the next head Noritoshi, though 'he' made the name akin to a curse itself" said Noritoshi with good politeness and grace.

"Huh, learn something new everyday" I said as the others began to introduce themselves in kind. The broom head was known as Momo Nishimiya, and the others were known as Aoi Todo, Mai Zenin, and even Kasumi Miwa. "Nice to meet you all, here take a gift" I said as I handed each of them a small ruby which had some energy imbued within it. "What a piece, I can even feel energy in it" said Noritoshi. 

"Yep, jewels imbued with energy. Can cast one cantrip, a minor one" I said, though I doubt they will be able to figure it out due to their own energies somewhat fighting against it. I then heard screams and punches which symboled the execution of the 'joke' to the other students, and I could hear the kyoto students gasp and Nobara yelling at Itadori. I waved goodbye to the kyoto students as we made our way to a room to plan for the event. 

"So, you are going to participate huh" said Maki as she looked at. I nodded, as I decided to go along with gojos plan. I looked over to see itadori in a funeral frame, having to repent for his actions. "With you two as additions, our strategies are gonna need reworking" said Maki and Panda spoke up. "So, what are your abilities?" he asked. 

"Well, I can use magic, fire and use weapons from my vault, and Im good at barriers" I said to them. "So long range, close combat, and good defense. We have some of your qualities with others but we can put you with Megumi" said Maki as Megumi looked over. "Really?" he said with exasperation, then again I think that's his default. "Well, I can give you guys overpowered weapons you know" I said to them. 

"That sounds nice, but this is meant for training, not for bulldozing. But will keep that in mind for later" said Maki as she began to come up with a viable plan. Considering the state of things, fighting the Kyoto students and the students coming after Itadori seem inevitable. "I have a feeling there gonna come after Itadori" I voiced out. "I know, but we can use it to our advantage" said Maki. I have a suspicion that something is gonna go terribly wrong with this plan. 

[A/N: Gojo with a sephiroth Graal, what implications could that have? Anyhow, with the arc underway, I hope you guys enjoy this. Let the games begin!]
