Megumi, who had been leading with an overwhelming advantage, was overwhelmed by missiles and, after an initial confused reaction, ultimately fell into the hands of Todo and Yuji.
[Defeat the Shadow Servants located across the island to gain a large number of points. When the number of fallen Shadow Servants reaches six, the Holy Grail will appear.]
The moment they arrived on the final island, Todo and Yuji knew what to do next.
"Are there seven enemies? Where is the closest one?"
"West, about two kilometers away."
Hearing this, Todo stepped on the accelerator and once again controlled the rocket-powered race car to fly into the sky.
"Wait, isn't flying forbidden in the race?"
Yuji frantically grabbed the steering wheel to control the direction.
"That's for racing. This final battle doesn't have so many restrictions."
Soon, Todo spotted his target.
"Point the car at him, brother!"
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
Yuji sensed something was wrong.
"Of course, a quick resolution. Trust me, brother!"
"I understand."
Since Todo had said so, what else could Yuji, his brother, do but go along with the madness?
Yuji struggled to control the direction, aiming the race car at the dark figure below.
The Shadow Servant below, who was sitting at a small table drinking tea, with a long sword beside him and a mountain gate behind him, looked up.
Then he saw a strange thing with fire shooting out of its rear flying toward him.
Splat, boom.
In the last second before the rocket hit the Shadow Servant, Todo finally used Boogie Woogie to switch their positions.
"Yosh, one down!"
Looking at the large number of points that appeared on the panel, Todo nodded in satisfaction.
"To-Todo."
Yuji, still shaken, began to call out his best friend's name.
"What is it, brother?"
Todo turned to look at the somewhat pale Yuji.
"Did your ancestors really have someone who participated in the Kamikaze Special Attack Unit?"
"That is indeed a question. I'll check when I get back."
"No, never mind."
Yuji shook his head. With the big heart of a Japanese anime protagonist, he had mostly recovered.
Just as the two set off again and started boxing with a muscle-bound giant over two meters tall, two more race cars rushed onto the island.
"Oh no, brake quickly!"
"I can't stop!"
Unexpectedly, the finish line was immediately followed by a beach. The two cars, which had been competing for second place a second ago, both performed fancy rollovers due to the change in road surface.
"Cough, cough. They didn't even prepare a parking spot? How exactly did the school design this venue?"
Megumi complained with a helpless expression.
At this moment, Eichi, who was outside the venue drinking coffee and watching Yuji and the other three big men passionately boxing, suddenly felt a shiver.
"Strange, it feels like someone is talking about me."
A racing game on the laptop beside him was still on the post-race results screen.
Returning to the virtual world.
"Are you alright, Miwa?"
Momo got up in a disheveled state, carefully checking her own and her friend's condition.
Fortunately, the two of them were not in their real bodies right now. Otherwise, after that rollover, it was uncertain whether they would die.
But disfigurement was certain.
That was absolutely unacceptable for a woman.
"Is it time for battle now? Where are Muta Kokichi and Todo?"
After realizing the next objective was combat, Momo immediately thought of Todo and Kokichi.
In the past, whenever they encountered combat missions, these two were always at the forefront.
Especially Todo. He would charge in without anyone else needing to say anything.
By the time the others arrived, the Cursed Spirits were often already exorcised.
"I don't know."
Kasumi looked around in confusion.
But no matter how she looked, she could not find Todo's easily recognizable rocket-powered race car.
"Never mind, let's go first. If we can't win, we'll find someone."
"Okay."
According to the mission map, one Shadow Servant had already been defeated in the west, and Megumi's group was also heading east.
So Momo chose to take Kasumi on a broom and fly over the small mountain in the center of the island to find the Shadow Servants on the other side.
Because the Shadow Servants' attribute values were not set high, everyone's progress in subjugating them was very smooth.
So smooth, in fact, that by the time Toge and Noritoshi, who were the last to arrive on the island, got out of their cars, this part of the competition was already over.
Noritoshi, who had just finished reading the rules, slapped his cheeks hard with both hands and then encouraged himself.
"Calm down, calm down. I am the heir to Blood Manipulation, the future pillar of the Kamo Family. A temporary failure means nothing."
Just then, a familiar tremor appeared again.
Rocks continuously rolled down the small mountain in the middle of the island, and paths leading to the summit appeared.
Seeing the paths appear, everyone on the island rushed toward the summit.
The scene that greeted them after ascending the mountain made everyone's expression change.
Satoru was sitting arrogantly on the mountaintop, constantly tossing and catching the golden Holy Grail in his hand.
The corner of his mouth curved into an arrogant, villainous grin.
Beside him was Suguru, wearing floral swim trunks, standing in a posture that looked suspiciously like he had slipped a disc, with a warm, fox-like smile on his face.
While exuding an aura of dominance, he also gave off the impression of a fox-headed strategist.
The art style could be said to be quite strange.
But when they thought about who the two people standing there were, everyone felt it was not so strange after all.
"Yo, you've finally arrived."
Satoru tossed the Special Grade cursed tool, the Holy Grail, into the air, then swiftly snatched it with his right hand.
Then, with an incredibly arrogant tone, he said, "Do you want my treasure? If you want it, I can give it all to you. Come and take it. I'll just leave the Holy Grail here."
"That line sounds a bit familiar."
Suguru glanced sideways at Satoru.
"Ya, I've always wanted to say it once. Don't you think it's cool?"
Satoru looked up at Suguru behind him.
"The original is cool, but when you say it, it's comical."
"That's so mean, Geto."
Looking at the two figures above who clearly had no one else in their eyes, Megumi painfully rubbed his temples.
"Why is the final boss Satoru-sensei? Does the school really want us to win?"
Nobara beside him strongly agreed after hearing Megumi's complaint.
True organizer Eichi, who was outside the venue, also had similar doubts.
"Pfft."
The coffee Eichi had just drunk sprayed onto the barrier display screen.
"Why is this guy at the finish line?"
Ignoring the coffee stains on his white shirt, Eichi pointed at Satoru on the screen and shouted.
At this rate, would anyone actually get the Holy Grail?
Just as Eichi was pondering how to make the Exchange Event proceed smoothly, the other students also arrived on the platform one after another.
Upon discovering that the final enemy was Satoru, Kasumi's face showed the same expression as Kusakabe had last year when Eichi invited her senior brother to fight Sukuna.
"Seriously? Me, fight Satoru?"
