Two hours ago,

Toji stood at the entrance of the casino with Mai,Mei Mei, Shoko, Geto, Nanami and Haibara behind him.

"Hey sensei... I don't think you know this but we aren't exactly rich you know? I don't think I have money to gamble." Haibara looked at the ground depressed.

"Hmpf. Speak for yourself."

Mei Mei who had worn a high end luxury purple dress that directly contrasted against her white hair and black lipstick scoffed before turning her head away.

"Money? That's the last thing you should worry about." Toji smiled as his hand passed through the purple blob on his shoulders and taking out with it a giant stack of 10000¥ bills that barely fit in his hand.

The money was neatly divided into six stacks each holding five million yen.

"Now now. Five million should be enough don't you think?" Toji made a V shape with his hand before handing out five million to each of them.

"Tch. Don't feel bad.... Think of it as a final holiday of sorts, because after this let's just say a break will come far in between." Toji spoke mysteriously.

'I can't help but feel bad for them... The Death Paintings, Shibuya Incident, Itadori's Extermination, Culling Games, and Shinjuku Showdown. They're gonna go through a lot.'

The smile on Toji's face faltered for a second as he thought of the future.

'And most of you won't come out alive.....'

"So live life like it's your last day here!." Toji grinned.

"Uh, okay? That's a bit ominous but whatever..." Nanami squinted his eyes through his glasses.

"And what do you know about life? What that outfit of yours people will think you're a 30-year old salary worker." Mai scoffed at nanami.

'~Hehehe besides Toji-Sama will always be there for me~'

"Also if there's any commotion on the first floor if it's related to me don't bother. Let's just say I'll have to *forcefully* recruit someone."

"Weirdo." Mei Mei stared at him with suspicion.

Finally they headed inside after Toji distributed the money to them.

...

'Well then student acquired I guess.... Not sure how he got recruited in the original timeline but hopefully my approach won't affect the timeline too much.' Toji thought to himself as he climbed the stairs to the third floor.

As he opened the door to the room he couldn't help but be shocked by what he saw inside.

The karaoke room looked less like a gathering of jujutsu sorcerers and more like the aftermath of a high school graduation party.... The strobe lights spun around in the dimly lit room crazily, blue, green, red you name it.

The bass heavy music reverberated through the room as a certain blonde man was forced to sing along an English song.

The song was colour your night. A high energy song for someone with rhythm.

Nanami had neither.

He stumbled around with the lyrics. His voice awkwardly trying to pronounce the lyrics as his voice cracked.

~Wheen two handdds mEet at zenith~

~NothiNg comes bEtweeN uS~

~D-Dancing like... Like balleri-

*Woosh*

Two twin green blades swung across the room one aiming for nanami's throat the other for his hand holding the microphone.

As the blades approached his throat he felt his life flash in his eyes as he felt death approach him.

Nanami narrowly avoided by dropping down onto the ground, still a few strands of his hair had fallen in the crossfire.

As he laid on the ground, breathing hard feeling like he was having a heart attack he cursed his fate.

'Why do I have to be the one who has to go through all of this?'

'You do know it took me months to grow those hair.' He smiled bitterly as he picked up the strands of his long hair.

"C'mon nanami! Put your back into it!"

Shoko leaned in from the couch as she cheered him on. One hand holding a bottle of whiskey the other holding her phone.

"Now now, keep the performance going!!! I'm recording history here!" She shouted at him excitedly.

Next to her, Mai who had used the chains the blades were attached to, to swing them at him looked at him with a deadpan expression, but her rosy red cheeks clearly showed that she was drunk.

"Go off-key and off with the knees." She swung the blades around with the chains again.

Nanami chuckled bitterly before getting up once again. Straightening his glasses and tie.

'I don't have much of a choice do I?'

In the corner Mei Mei slept on cushion her thighs revealed through the skinny dress as she drank through another bottle of wine. The mountain of bottles next to her, showing that it wasn't her first time.

She rubbed the bottle against her red face with affection mumbling nonsense to herself.

"~Mhm~ you're the only one that understands me..." She said to it softly. " I trained so hard, for what? To listen to a man sing as if a stone was stuck in his throat."

She nuzzled to the bottle. "we deserve better ~hiiiik~"

Over at the bar part of the karaoke, Geto staring at the half full glass of whisky he had made himself listlessly.

"They said you'd be back by now...." He said to no one in particular." They said you'd be back before us. Where are you Gojo...." He swung the glass around absent mindedly before gulping it down.

'What am i doing here worrying about him like a middle aged housewife. He's the strongest in the world after all well.... Aside from Toji sensei maybe.' He thought bitterly.

*Crreeeeaaakkkk*

He glanced at the sudden noise as the door opened.

'Speak of the devil....'

His eyes lit up as he saw the familiar presence that entered the room.

"Welcome back ,wanna try singing Toji sensei?" Geto asked before downing another glass.

Seeing Nanami who had to avoid blades while trying to sing Toji shook his head.

"I've never really been good at singing. What about you sitting depressed in the corner?"

Geto's finger ran circles around the glass as he recalled the last few days of his life.

"It's just too much happening at once you know? It doesn't hurt to take a break once in a while..."

Toji walked towards the bar as he handled himself the only bottle of whiskey left on the counter, most of the drinks taken by Mei Mei.

As he looked around the room at the bottles of alcohol randomly on the floor and the blades swinging around creating massive cracks in the castle walls he smiled.

'It was a good thing I pre ordered the entire floor for today...'

"I would be lying if I said you don't have a point." Toji sat next to him, refilling Geto's glass before chugging down the entire bottle.

As they say in silence a serene atmosphere enveloped the room aside from the part that had Nanami, Shoko and Mei Mei.

"Remember that favour you owed me from before?" Toji asked.

Finally catching Geto's attention his snake eyes opened slightly.

"Yes, i remember that... What do you want me to do?" Geto asked with a serious expression on his face.

" *Gulp* it's nothing right now but after a week I need you to come with me to the zen'in clan...." Toji said while chugging another bottle.

A bewildered expression appeared on Geto's face as he scratched his neck.

"Uhm... Me? What am I supposed to do there?"

"What do you know of the ten shadows technique?"

"The ten shadows technique?.....Masamichi-san taught us about this, The inhereted cursed technique of the zen'in clan. The one who inherits it gets two divine dog shikigami's at the beginning which they can use to defeat the rest of the other shikigamis. After defeat the user can order the shikigamis he defeats.... But what does that have to do with me?"

"That's just the textbook public information... What do you know about the final shikigami of the ten shadows technique."

"Hmmm the zen'in clan is very secretive.. at least for the ten shadows technique. What is it?"

" The Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga."

"It's an absolute beast of nature, possessing the power of adaptation. To date no one has defeated it. It's body covered in white scales. A divine ring spins on top of it's head. With each turn of that wheel mahoraga adapts to the opponent, until eventually if not defeated in one blow with enough turns of it's wheel it fully adapts to such a degree that no attack can land a scratch on it."

"Records claim it has never been conquered... Even the previous users armed with the 9 other shikigamis got slaughtered. That scene..... it was like putting up a coughing baby against a hydrogen bomb."

"It's said that the last time it was released during the fight between a Gojo clan ancestor and ten shadows user when they fought centuries ago. He released mahoraga in a last ditch effort to win. Let's just say nobody made it out alive...."

"So... You want my help with this?" By now Geto had completely sobered up as he listened to Toji's words.

"No. I will take care of mahoraga. Your duty will be to safeguard the zen'in clan if anything goes wrong."

Geto's figure visibly relaxed at Toji's words.

'To think it would be able to kill a six eyes user.... Such a thing shouldn't exist, it could even take on Gojo.'

"Are you sure you could take on something like that sensei? Not that I'm saying you're not strong, But if it could even defeat a six eyes user...." Geto asked Toji wearily.

"Pffffttt who do you think I am? After killing it I'll make sure to make a nice dinner with it's meat. As a reward you can attend the barbecue. Who knows? A chance of eating monster meat won't come again."

" *Sigh* fine let's go..." Geto got off from his chair ready to leave the castle.

"Not now. Take some rest and enjoy the karaoke. Why don't ya?" Toji patted him on the back as he approached Mai who stood over a defeated Nanami.

'A rest huh....'

Geto smiled as he looked through the room, Toji and Mai dancing together while singing, shoko cheering them on, Nanami sleeping on the couch, and Mei Mei still drinking wine.

'Don't wanna look like a depressed loner being here all by myself. Might as well sing a little.'

Meanwhile,

Hakari POV:

"So then they both had a showdown.... But obviously we allll know who would win Gojo senpai or that monster. Hmmm what happened next though?"

"Yeah Yeah! So basically what happened after that was Gojo senpai came swooping down! And then uhm the fight went something like BOOOM! Pachiw pew pew after Gojo senpai shot Lapse:Blue at the monster! And after that he was completely fried! Then....

Haibara kept on continuing his story, using his hands to make an explosion.

'This guy is completely nuts if you're gonna tell a story at least be a good narrator.' Hakari cried inside.

'Who reserves a roulette table for over an hour just to tell stories about your seniors.'

'Well at least Kirara looks like she's having fun....'

Kirara who was listening to haibara attentively with a cute expression on her face nodded her head every now and then even asking questions.

"Thank you all so much. Honestly I didn't think you would want to hear me talk to myself for this long! *Sniff* I've really got the best juniors don't i? Should I continue then?" Haibara looked at them with stars in his eyes.

"N-

Hakari who was about to refuse felt a heel hit his leg.

Kirara who had a notepad in her hand as she wrote down all the relevant information about the JJK high staff and students immediately shot Hakari a glance filled with murderous intent as he was about to refuse.

'Why refuse? Not only is it good information, but good drama....'

"Haaii! You can continue haibara senpai." She threw her first high in the air while enthusiastically nodding in approval.

'Sigh... Why do I have to be surrounded by these idiots.' He glanced at Haibara who at this point was talking solely to Kirara.

'Why are we still here? Just to suffer?'
