"You can indeed see it!"

So you were just guessing this whole time?

Aoi Todo clapped his hands while Morien retreated, switched positions with the dust behind him, and raised his leg to kick.

This time, Morien did not dodge or dodge, letting his attack pass through his body.

"It's enough to do the same move once."

"Saint will not fall down twice under the same move." Morien said with a smile.

His eyes shone with golden light.

There was no preparation before, but even if he could imagine the complete movements, the wind caused by his movements, and the Cursed Energy mobilized by his movements, it was still difficult to escape the Eyes of Mystery Prying of Morien.

He is a Mystery Pryer after all.

"I know." Aoi Todo nodded.

He lowered his heart, stretched out his hands, and made an offensive gesture similar to sumo wrestling.

Morien once again took the starting position of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.

Both sides exerted force at the same time, and the two fists collided together.

The initial hand-to-hand combat continued again.

But this time, Aoi Todo looked completely different in Morien's eyes.

The fists he punches always have a shadow. Sometimes, the shadow will overlap with the fist. Sometimes, the shadow will be scattered around the fist. Sometimes, the shadow will be half a second faster or slower than his fist.

This was something he imagined to interfere with Morien.

But the thoughts in Aoi Todo's mind became fewer and fewer.

He almost handed over the attack to his instincts and put more thoughts into analyzing Morien himself rather than this battle.

After all, the reason why he fought with Morien was to "find out", not to defeat Morien.

In other words, he's almost won.

After completely leaving everything to instinct, Aoi Todo felt his adrenaline surge rapidly.

He felt joy that he had not experienced in a long time.

The last time I had this feeling was when I was fighting Special Grade Sorcerer and "Yuta Okkotsu".

After the two sides exchanged punches, they each took half a step back.

But this time, Aoi Todo was not in a hurry to attack.

Come without reservation.

Aoi Todo had a ferocious smile on his face.

He raised his hand and tore open his clothes and coat, revealing the bulging muscles under his clothes.

Morien saw that long-lasting Desire and the hot eyes that were proportional to Desire.

There are also Wish Power scattered on Aoi Todo.

Want to fight.

I want to fight without reservation.

Morien The wings of his nose moved slightly and he took a breath.

"Ha." Morien chuckled lightly and moved the mask to the front of his face.

He put away his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist posture, ended all Cursed Technique, and assumed the most basic boxer posture.

"Only once."

Bang!

The two fists crossed each other and hit Morien on the mask and Aoi Todo on the face without dodging.

The "elbow fight" with punches to the flesh begins.

Phew.

Cigarette lit.

The two people standing by and one panda watched this scene intently.

"That's Cursed Technique Reversal, right?" Shoko Ieiri, who relit a cigarette, looked at the elbows between Morien and Aoi Todo and made a judgment.

She felt Cursed Energy of Reverse Cursed Technique.

She herself is a talent with "Reverse Cursed Technique", and she has personally seen Satoru Gojo who can "Cursed Technique Reversal".

After seeing Morien's sudden over-the-shoulder throw in the air and Aoi Todo's reaction, I quickly understood what had just happened.

"It's really amazing." Masamichi Yaga nodded slightly.

He has not mastered Reverse Cursed Technique, but he is the teacher of Satoru Gojo, so he still has this knowledge.

One minute, three minutes, five minutes...

Ten minutes passed, and Aoi Todo was still unable to consume Morien, which almost had Limitless back to mana.

As the last punch fell.

Aoi Todo's body fell backwards and fell to the ground with a plop. Simple Domain, which had been maintaining its strength, suddenly collapsed.

In less than ten minutes just now, he had been punched hundreds of times in the face.

But at this moment, he couldn't see any wounds.

Morien used Reverse Cursed Technique during the attack and healed Aoi Todo's swollen face.

Add iodophor to the fist and disinfect it while beating.

He was lying on the ground, looking at the ceiling, and Morien was standing in front of him.

"I won." He gestured.

Aoi Todo turned his head, spit out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly smiled.

"No, I won."

He sat up from the ground.

Aoi Todo looked at Morien, stretched out a finger and pointed at him.

"I approve of you."

"In the fight just now, I already know what kind of person you are."

"Your joining makes me feel at ease."

"So, I won."

"That's right." Morien touched the mask, "That seems right."

"However, you seem to have hit your head and forgot one thing."

He said:

"That's why you're fighting with me."

"In this fight, you and I have different winning conditions." Morien said lightly.

He also received several punches, but his injuries were healed long ago.

"Why?" Aoi Todo was stunned for a moment when he heard Morien's words.

What other reasons could there be?

Suddenly, Aoi Todo felt like he was back in that classroom again, sitting on the chair in front of the desk, and Takada was standing in front of him, standing on the podium...

"No, do you think of her as Bean Bun's envoy?"

Morien is a little speechless, but too lazy to say anything.

After all, this is someone else's "family matter."

Takada, who had changed into a professional teacher's uniform, pushed up his heavy black-rimmed glasses and pointed at the blackboard behind him with his pointer.

"Classmate Todo," Takada said, "your purpose is to test who he is. In other words, your "winning condition" is to see through his character."

"That's right." Aoi Todo nodded.

"But he is different." Takada continued.

"He has no scruples at all, and he doesn't seem to be interested in your character."

"So, what is his "win goal"? Or to put it another way, why does he want to fight you?"

Takada teacher raised a question.

"It's because of my sneak attack..." Aoi Todo said subconsciously.

"No!" Takada slapped the table, "What you said is wrong."

She wrote the words "Reverse Cursed Technique" and "Cursed Technique Flip" on the blackboard.

"If we didn't know his Cursed Technique Reversal at the beginning, it would be hard to judge what his purpose was. But now that we know it, the answer will be obvious."

She circled the two words.

Aoi Todo suddenly understood.

"So that's it!"

"That's right," Morien moved the mask back to the side of his face, "Simple Domain of New Shadow Style, Binding Vow with internal transmission but not external transmission."

"However, if it is only used on enemies, it will not violate Binding Vow."

"And if the enemy's learning ability is really good and he learns the opponent's Simple Domain during the battle, there is nothing he can do about it."

"After all, if you can't even use it against the enemy, then there is no need to learn this so-called "New Shadow Style"."

He grinned.

"Thank you, every detail of "Simple Domain" is clear enough in your mind."

"I'm deeply inspired."

So this one is a "win-win".
