Chapter 0-3

The Punishment for Being Weak (にを) is the third chapter of Akutami Gege's Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School.

Summary
Suguru Geto the dangerous Curse User in Japan sets his sights on destroying Jujutsu High. In order to do so, Geto invokes the Night Parade of 100 Demons, summoning 1,000 Demons in both Kyoto and Shinjuku. While the Jujutsu High staff deals with that, Geto invades the school in order to isolate Yuta Okkotsu.

Plot Details
A girl named Saitou and her mother visit Suguru Geto because they believe Saitou has been cursed. Geto is able to absorb the curse and garner the appreciation of both women despite his rude attitude. They revere him as an actual Buddha and leave, but Geto only considers them Jujutsu-less monkeys from which can collect curses.

A man named Kanemori also visits Geto in order to get his curse exorcised, but Geto refuses because this man hasn't donated money in years. Geto allows the man to be killed by the curses and meets up with the other members of his following. He prepares to execute a plan to destroy Jujutsu High, one of the cornerstones of the Jujutsu World.

At Jujutsu High, Yuta has a bad feeling but his peers tell him to ignore it. The first-years are watched over by Gojo and Principal Yaga. They've been unable to locate Geto so far but the Curse User decides to show himself shortly after. Yuta's hunch is confirmed as Geto appears with a few of his followers. He introduces himself to Yuta and asks for his help in wiping out all non-Jujutsu Sorcerers.

Gojo, Yaga and several other Jujutsu Sorcerers appear to confront Geto. Geto remarks on how impressive Gojo's first years are, except for the failure of the Zenin Clan, Maki. Angry, Yuta stands up for Maki and Gojo demands to know why Geto is here. The former Jujutsu Student declares war on his alma matter and reveals he will bring about the Night Parade of 100 Demons on December 24th.

Geto parts after leaving Gojo and the others with a giant Cursed Spirit to deal with. Yaga holds a meeting to discuss Geto's threat and as a collective, the staff surmises that despite all his followers and Cursed Spirits, Geto still doesn't have the means to win a war against Jujutsu High. They plan on stopping him at all costs but Geto expects this approach and this is all a front to isolate Yuta Okkotsu in order to steal the Cursed Spirit Rika.

On December 24th, Yuta and Maki are basically alone at the Tokyo Jujutsu High campus. They talk about why Geto called Maki a failure, where she reveals that she was born without Cursed Energy and doesn't even have the ability to see curses. He asks why Maki is trying to be a Jujutsu Sorcerer anyway and she replies that she has a lot of people back home she needs to anger. Yuta admires Maki's resolves and says he wants to grow to be someone as strong as she is.

Embarrassed, Maki leaves and berates herself for feeling accepted by someone for once. However, the tranquil day is ruined when Geto suddenly casts a curtain around the school. While in Shinjuku, Geto's followers keep Gojo and the others busy, Maki confronts Geto outside Jujutsu High. Gojo realizes this and sends Panda and Toge back to school to save Maki and Yuta.

Panda immediately breaks through the curtain and carves a path straight to Geto. Distracted by Maki's defeated body, Panda succumbs to Geto's hand to hand combat. However, Panda grabs a hold of him, allowing Toge to command Geto to fall underground using Cursed Speech. After seemingly defeating Geto, the duo goes to check up on Maki, but Geto resurfaces using numerous Cursed Spirits.

Yuta finally arrives outside and is horrified to find his only friends injured by Geto. Enraged, Yuta calls on Rika's power and both Jujutsu Sorcerers threaten to kill one another.
