Since you've sincerely asked, I'll mercifully tell you

There was a very interesting phenomenon in the world of "Jujutsu Kaisen"—Jujutsu Sorcerers tended to have rather abnormal eyes.

Either they looked strange, their abilities were strange, or their eyes looked normal but they insisted on covering them up in all sorts of ways.

When ordinary people made eye contact, everything was normal. But when these people made eye contact...

Akesato had mocked this back when he watched anime in his previous life. Seeing it up close now made the feeling even stronger.

First, dark-lensed sunglasses and a blindfold "made eye contact." Then came sunglasses making eye contact with dark circles—namely, the Playful Panda that had followed Akesato here.

The man wearing dark-lensed sunglasses was Masamichi Yaga, principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High.

It was the third day since Satoru Gojo had come calling. The enrollment notice had arrived the next day, and he was reporting in on the third. The efficiency was truly astounding.

From his appearance alone, Masamichi Yaga did not look like a good man. Broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, he was nearly twice as wide as Satoru Gojo. His face was fierce and fleshy, and paired with his sunglasses and Jujutsu High's dark uniform, he sat boldly in the room like a yakuza boss no matter how one looked at him.

He immediately said in a deep, booming voice, "Too slow, Gojo. You're half an hour late. When are you going to fix that rotten habit of yours?"

"I'll never fix it in this lifetime." Satoru Gojo spoke those infuriating words without changing expression. "But since I brought you a gift today, forgive me. You'll definitely like it."

With that, he grabbed the Playful Panda by the nape and tossed it toward Masamichi Yaga's face.

And so came the sight of two pairs of "dark circles" making eye contact.

"Pan~"

The Playful Panda tried its best to glare in displeasure, but it was useless. With its appearance, it looked adorable no matter what it did.

The flesh on Masamichi Yaga's face instantly softened, and the affection in his eyes could not be concealed even by his thick sunglasses.

"Little one, what's your name?"

"Pan~?"

"Playful Panda, is it? What a fine name."

"Pan~ Pan~" The Playful Panda waved its tiny arms, looking extremely happy.

"Principal Yaga is Panda's father. No one in all of Tokyo understands pandas better than him, or likes them more."

Satoru Gojo was stating something Akesato already knew, but that did not stop Akesato from being surprised.

Most Pokémon could only make a few sounds. Even Akesato had only been able to understand what Pokémon meant through the experience he had accumulated over time.

Yet Masamichi Yaga had managed it effortlessly. If it had to be explained through love, then Masamichi Yaga's love for pandas had definitely pierced the heavens.

And that was indeed the case.

The Playful Panda was outrageously mischievous at home, and if Akemi let her guard down for even a moment, it would keep her running in circles. Yet in Masamichi Yaga's hands, it was remarkably obedient.

It was not being restrained and controlled by Gardevoir's Psychic. It was genuinely comfortable. With just a casual scratch from Masamichi Yaga, the Playful Panda lay down contentedly and exposed its round belly.

In the past, that would only happen when the little fellow had eaten and drunk its fill and wanted to sleep.

On that point alone, Masamichi Yaga fully deserved the title of ultimate panda expert.

"Impressive." Satoru Gojo looked at him in a new light. "I was just saying it casually. I didn't expect it would work even if it wasn't a cursed corpse."

Akemi, who had entered last, gave Satoru Gojo a surprised glance. She had not expected him to have this sort of personality.

Akesato was not surprised. The worst thing about Satoru Gojo was his personality, which directly shattered his image as a "perfect man."

Everyone familiar with Satoru Gojo knew that he was trustworthy, but not worthy of respect. Even now, there were people who sincerely hated him.

And Akesato did not truly care about Principal Yaga's identity as a panda nanny. It was nice if he was one, but it did not matter if he was not.

"Gojo, you bastard—"

Masamichi Yaga was all smiles toward the panda, but he had no such patience for Satoru Gojo. The flesh on his cheeks tightened as he prepared to explode.

But Satoru Gojo was no pushover. He pointed at Masamichi Yaga's thigh and smiled faintly. The Playful Panda was lying there, resting lazily.

Afraid of disturbing the little fellow, Masamichi Yaga instantly lost his temper. He gave a deliberately serious cough. "Gojo has already told me the general situation. Answer me one question, Akesato. Why did you come here?"

"Ah, here we go again." Satoru Gojo muttered softly. "I told you, he's different from the other students. That routine won't work on him. Besides, you don't look scary at all right now. You couldn't frighten anyone."

"GOJO!!!" Masamichi Yaga gritted his teeth in fury.

Satoru Gojo only pushed his luck further, spreading his hands with an utterly punchable expression that said, come hit me if you can. He clearly had Masamichi Yaga figured out.

Unexpectedly, Akesato suddenly clapped his hands and called out, "Playful Panda, use Tackle!"

The Playful Panda instantly shook off its laziness and sprang up.

Play was play, and mischief was mischief, but Akesato being a Trainer had never changed. Whenever it was time to fight, the Playful Panda never hesitated.

"Pan~"

The Playful Panda's second language: bend him with a charge.

Its target was Satoru Gojo.

Naturally, it dealt no damage, but it freed Masamichi Yaga as a result, allowing him to use a Tackle as well.

After landing the hit, he followed up with a Mandarin Duck Yin-Yang Twist Lock, wrenching Satoru Gojo's body into a bizarre position.

With his blood circulation cut off, Satoru Gojo's face turned blue-green, yet he still found the energy to glare at Akesato. "Whose side are you on, exactly?"

"You're the teacher, and he's the principal. Whose side do you think I'm on?" Akesato spread his hands, looking exceptionally innocent. "Playful Panda, don't stop. Scratch behind his knees."

"Bend~"

With Masamichi Yaga and Playful Panda working together, Satoru Gojo was successfully bent out of shape, letting out miserable cries of "Ah—ah—!"

"Wouldn't this be a little inappropriate?" Akemi reminded them softly.

No matter what, Satoru Gojo was still the Family Head of the Gojo family. Mother and son would have to rely on his protection in the future.

"Relax."

Akesato waved a hand. The Family Heads of the Zenin and Kamo families definitely wouldn't do, but Satoru Gojo would.

He was the kind of person who wouldn't go out of character no matter how much he was messed with—no airs, no sense of seniority. Besides, Masamichi Yaga had been Satoru Gojo's teacher back in his student days, and the latter had suffered plenty of the former's iron-fist discipline. He was long used to it.

In the end, Satoru Gojo gave a French military salute. "I surrender, I admit defeat..."

Masamichi Yaga released him in satisfaction and gave Akesato a thumbs-up. Akesato returned it with one of his own.

Playful Panda looked left at Yaga, then right at Akesato, and learned to give a thumbs-up as well.

The only injured party, Satoru Gojo, bared his teeth in pain. "Instead of wasting time making gestures, why not watch a couple more episodes of Kuuga?"

Seeing that the target was still so lively, Playful Panda used Leer to intimidate him, with little effect.

So Masamichi Yaga and Akesato used Leer as well, with outstanding results.

Satoru Gojo immediately shrank back without a shred of backbone, retreating far behind Akemi.

Having driven off this atmosphere-breaker, Masamichi Yaga could finally return to the main subject. "Answer my question, Akesato."

Akesato thought for a moment before answering, "Do you want the official version, or the Gojo version?"

"I want them all." Yaga made a grasping motion with one hand.

"Then let's start with the official version." Akesato cleared his throat, crossed his arms over his chest, lifted his chin high, and went full chuunibyou. "To prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect the peace of the world, to carry out love and truth..."
