"Demon Dog: Totality," says Fushiguro, doing the dog shadow puppet gesture.

...except the thing that emerges from his shadow—much more quickly than it usually does—is not a dog. It is certainly doglike, but it stands on its hindlegs, as tall as Tōdō himself, black and white fur mixing in patches along its body. Really, it's more like a werewolf.

"Not if I kick your ass first. Get out of my school if you want to keep only the one scar on your face."

"Ai ai, maybe I should just let Tōdō deal with the both of you. You do seem more... temperamentally suited to each other, Akiho-chan."

Okay, so if this is about to be a fight, Inori gets the big idiot, and she gets the small idiot. Since the small idiot uses a gun and Akiho is the queen of redirecting projectiles.

"Pass. Do you have nothing more interesting to say than insinuations about who either of us might like to fuck? I think that says more about you than it does about us," she sniffs, rolling her eyes. C'mon, small idiot, try to shoot her. She's already set up each and every one of the other bullets in Mai's gun to follow the momentum leader with the bullet about to be fired, but in different (safer) directions.

"Ha! That's the spirit!" laughs Todo. "Maybe this will be interesting!"

And then he goes to punch the werewolf in the face.

The werewolf... is, actually, maybe as fast as Itadori and Tōdō. It is, in fact, special-grade level fast. It dodges, disappearing from sight and reappearing right behind Tōdō, aiming a kick from its clawed feet to try to throw the third-year towards the more open space outside.

Mai cocks her gun. "You know, for someone with no weapons in hand, you seem awfully confident," she says, tilting her head.

"I don't find toys wielded by overgrown children to be all that threatening," purrs Akiho.

Todo agrees that they should take this outside, but comparatively, the werewolf is a lot less used to this level of strength and speed than Todo is. Which is to say, it overextended itself. He dodges the kick, then grabs the extended leg and uses it to toss the overgrown dog directly into Inori, sending them both outside. He seems to be having quite a lot of fun.

Inori's hit, but he and the werewolf roll with it: he hugs the dog, who twists in mid air and absorbs most of the landing impact on its legs, leaving Inori himself mostly unscathed. He glances at Akiho from where he landed, decides she can handle herself, and gestures minutely with his head to command the werewolf to go back on the offensive against Tōdō. Meanwhile, he does two different shadow puppets in quick succession with his hands, "Nue," and "Gama," and summons a small swarm of winged dog-sized frogs around him, including two that are holding onto him from behind.

Tōdō dodges the werewolf, again, and aims for Inori's frogs, but by the time he gets there the werewolf is in his face again, and the winged frogs holding onto Inori have taken flight, bringing him with them. He knows Tōdō can probably jump that high, but that doesn't really matter; he's still the inferior close combatant, and the more time Tōdō spends chasing him the less time he has for actually bashing Inori's face in.

The older boy tries just that, which proves to be a mistake as the remaining frogs still on the ground grab him by the arms and legs and keep him still for long enough for demon dog to land a proper kick. Tōdō blocks, but the force of the impact is sufficient to launch him all the way to a tree.

Inori lands, dismisses the frogs, and with another "Nue" and "Gama: Extension" summons the electric bird and a single, human-sized frog, separately—except the frog is black-and-white, this time, and its upper lip has two enormous snake fangs protruding down in an overbite.

With three shikigami out, two of which are overpowered by his dead ones, to hold Tōdō away, he takes a moment to check on Akiho.

Akiho is sitting on Mai, who seems to be entirely entangled in fishing line, and unable to move. Zen'in's gun is in pieces nearby, blown apart by Akiho's cursed technique. The fight was very one sided after that.

"Want help?" she calls, amused.

"No, thank you, Akiho-san," he replies, but an amused smirk tugs at his lips.

Mai struggles a bit, in vain.

Mai's struggles are entirely ignored, and don't get her much of anywhere.

"Okay. I'm here if you need me."

And then she props a hand on her palm to watch the show. Not the big meathead, he's honestly so muscled that it's kind of gross, and his insanity does not help matters, but Inori is very pretty when he's fighting. She doesn't get to appreciate it very much. So! Now's a good time to do so.

Tōdō returns momentarily, trying to land a punch on Inori. The younger boy dodges, partly helped by the frog, whose snake-shaped tongue shot itself into the frog's own shadow and then emerged from Tōdō's, who's forced to block and dodge once more.

The fight resumes in earnest, and the two are pretty much evenly matched: Tōdō's physically stronger, but Inori's sharper. Inori's weakness is a lack of familiarity with the stronger forms of his shikigami, both by him and by the shikigami themselves, who often miss their mark or misapply their strength. Tōdō makes use of those mistakes to land hits on Inori, but while both of them are getting progressively more battered and exhausted as the fight goes on, neither has an obvious upper hand over the other.

Until, that is, Tōdō decides to use his cursed technique, clapping a hand once and causing Inori and the werewolf to swap places instantaneously, permitting the older boy to land one good punch, hard enough there's a distinct crack sound from Inori's bones where they're hit before he's launched away.

But that's when Inumaki's voice is heard, loud and clear, almost from every direction at once: "Don't move."

Akiho winces at the hit, notes that their upperclassmen have come to end this very stupid set of fights, and then decides that she doesn't need to keep sitting on her shiny new throne, in favor of going to check on Inori.

Todo, meanwhile, is stopped in his tracks.

And then he relaxes, and laughs.

"Heh. Sorry. I got so excited I got a bit carried away. I see why you recruited the first years to fill out the ranks, they've got some real fight to them. I guess I won't have a boring final exchange event."

"Why couldn't you just wait until the exchange event?" sighs Panda, neatly completing a leap from above to land between Todo and Inori.

Inori is sitting up when Akiho arrives, wiping some blood from his nose and lips. "Asshole," he says when she's within earshot.

Well with that girl off her Mai can try to pry herself—free—from these—fucking wires—

"Mai. I know that look. Stop. Give it a rest, you lost."

"Yeah, I can't say I'm regretting my choice in schools," says Akiho, offering Inori a hand to get back up. "You okay?"

"Had to know if I needed to track down Okkotsu or not," he shrugs. "Now, where did I leave my jacket...?"
