As they arrive at the location, they encounter a cursed spirit in the form of a monkey. The monkey spirit is powerful, and Megumi advises Yuji to stay back and let him handle it. However, Yuji insists on helping, and together they manage to defeat the spirit.
After the battle, Megumi reveals that he is a sorcerer from a powerful jujutsu family and that he has been tasked with finding and eliminating cursed objects. He offers Yuji a choice: he can either be executed because of his possession of Sukuna’s cursed finger or become a jujutsu sorcerer and help fight curses. Yuji chooses the latter and agrees to enroll in the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School.
The chapter ends with Yuji’s enrollment in the school and the beginning of his training to become a jujutsu sorcerer.
