"It's finally over! Let's go eat—Yaga-sensei has already reserved a place," Shoko said happily.
"Sounds good," Suguru Geto replied with a gentle smile.
Beside him, Nanami nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Satoru Gojo turned his head away with a sulky expression, clearly still frustrated about losing to Akira.
"Hey, Gojo, don't act like a little kid," Geto patted Gojo's shoulder.
"Who's acting like a kid?!" Gojo became even more annoyed at Geto's comment.
"Hmm, Geto, you really have the potential to be a babysitter," Akira said casually, his grin never fading—he was clearly still pleased about his victory over Gojo.
"Shut up, Akira," Geto's face darkened.
"Damn it, Akira, do you want to fight?!" Gojo snapped.
"I'd rather not. Fighting is exhausting," Akira declined without hesitation. As someone who preferred to take it easy, having already beaten Gojo, he had no interest in another fight. Besides, even though they had just met today and the situation wasn't exactly ideal, Akira already saw Gojo and Geto as friends. He had no intention of going all out against them, especially since breaking through Gojo's defense would be a pain. There was simply no need.
"Ha! You're scared!" Gojo taunted.
"Put away those childish provocations, Gojo. They don't work on me," Akira said indifferently.
"Besides, scared of you? You don't even dare look me in the eye. And you think I'd be afraid of you? What a joke," Akira sneered.
"Tch, if you're so confident, then don't use illusions when we fight!" Gojo huffed. While the illusions Akira used were annoying, Gojo knew that prolonged use of them would also weaken Akira. It wasn't that he feared Akira—it was just that he had no intention of being trapped for three days and nights again.
"If I don't use illusions, you won't even be able to touch me. How are you supposed to beat me?" Akira countered.
"Like you can hit me either!" Gojo shot back.
"Oh? If you're so sure, why don't you stand still and see if my Kamui can twist your head off?" Akira said nonchalantly.
"Tch, with your slow speed? Talk to me when you can actually land a hit," Gojo sneered. He knew Akira wasn't joking—Kamui really could bypass his Infinity.
"See? You can't hit me, and I can't easily beat you. So why bother fighting? We'd just be wasting energy. If you're that eager to fight, go spar with Geto instead," Akira shrugged.
"You bastard—are you saying I'm weak?!" Geto's face darkened.
"I never said that," Akira immediately denied it. But his expression gave him away.
"YOU—!" Geto's usual calm demeanor cracked, and his cursed energy flared up.
"Ah, seriously. The world is so beautiful, yet you're so violent. Come on, Shoko, let's go," Akira said, appearing beside Shoko in an instant. Before she could react, their figures distorted—and then they vanished.
"That guy… his personality is even worse than yours, Gojo," Geto grumbled.
"Hey, Geto, don't lump me in with that bastard," Gojo retorted.
"Whatever. Let's hurry up and get there," Geto sighed, then turned to look at Gojo—only to find he had disappeared.
"HAHAHA! Geto, I'll be going ahead too!" Gojo's voice rang out as he vanished.
Left standing alone, Geto looked around blankly.
"Damn it! You two bastards! Bullying me just because I don't have a space-related technique!" Geto fumed. After a moment, he sighed in resignation and summoned a flying cursed spirit, heading toward the restaurant Yaga had chosen.
Meanwhile, Masamichi Yaga, feeling the time was about right, sent out the location for their dinner gathering. He muttered to himself, "Those three are a headache, but there's no denying their talent. Especially Akira… that kid's technique is strange. Illusions? I really underestimated him. And that intangibility ability—judging from the others' reactions, it probably wasn't an illusion. Or was his real body hidden elsewhere while he created an illusion of himself?"
"But that doesn't seem likely either. If it were just an illusion, Gojo's Six Eyes should have seen through it. And the cursed energy he emitted wasn't fake either. So what was it? Could he have two innate techniques? That lightning ability—it resembles a second-grade electrical manipulation technique, but Akira's is obviously on another level. And that last technique he was about to use… If he intended to face Gojo and Geto head-on, what exactly was it?" Yaga pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Forget it. Thinking about it gives me a headache. I'll just ask him later," he sighed.
At that moment, a spiraling vortex appeared before him, and two figures emerged—Akira and Shoko.
"Spatial ability?" Yaga was surprised. He knew Shoko only had Reverse Cursed Technique, which meant the ability had to belong to Akira.
"Hi, Yaga-sensei," Akira greeted.
"Good evening, sensei," Shoko greeted as well, still a little dazed. She hadn't expected to be instantly transported from Jujutsu High to the restaurant in the blink of an eye.
"So he has the same ability as that Gojo bastard? I thought he could only teleport objects, but he can actually use it to move himself as well…" Shoko thought, even more shocked.
"It's Akira and Shoko, huh? Sit down," Yaga quickly regained his composure. As their teacher—especially to these monsters—he couldn't afford to show too much surprise. He suddenly imagined a certain white-haired troublemaker smirking and saying, "Sensei, what's so surprising about this? You're so lame."
"Where's Geto and Gojo?" Yaga asked casually. After today's events, he had grown more familiar with Geto and Akira, so he started addressing them by their given names, just like Gojo.
"They should be here soon," Akira replied. Having competed with Gojo earlier, and given that he had some knowledge of Jujutsu Kaisen, Akira knew that Gojo could use Azure for teleportation.
Yaga nodded.
Just then, Gojo appeared.
"Good evening, sensei," Gojo greeted lazily. Yaga didn't mind his attitude and simply gestured for him to sit.
"So, you guys really did arrive first," Gojo muttered. He and Geto had already guessed that Akira could teleport just like him.
"Of course. Who do you think I am?" Akira smirked. Then he added mischievously, "By the way, Gojo, you didn't just ditch Geto, did you?"
Gojo averted his gaze.
Akira smirked. "Hah. You totally did, didn't you?"
