The day finally came. Tokyo JJ High against Kyoto JJ High.

You've been itching to whoop Todo or Mai since you, Megumi and Nobara had first met them. The past two months had been filled with training and bonding with your upperclassmen, who you now saw as idols, almost. And the respect between you two had seemed nice.

...Excluding you and Maki's relationship.

Which is why, for some odd reason, Gojo-Sensei chose you to partner with her. Despite the fact that Yuji was back in action these days, this was still how things had turned out. And, needless to say, it was awkward.

You walked casually through the forest zone, trying to look away from Maki to avoid talking to her. It didn't work.

"You just gonna stay quiet, rookie?" she taunted, side-eyeing you with her typical sass.

Welp, you either bonded with her or got abandoned by her. Might as well try now, no?
