The first-year students chattered nonstop along the way, while Miwa Chisei and Satoru Gojo followed behind them.
"So, what task did the Kamo Clan Head ask you to do?"
Satoru Gojo asked the question casually, but reached out to stroke Miwa Chisei's long, curly hair.
"It's about Kamo Tetsuya's identity. That guy... probably started using Kamo Tetsuya's body a long time ago."

Satoru Gojo was a little surprised. Under his Six Eyes, all of Kamo Tetsuya's vital signs had appeared normal. If someone had been controlling him, there should have been some strange cursed energy mixed in.
