Unsurprisingly, Jujutsu Headquarters had been behind that post's disappearance.
As for why Jujutsu Headquarters had stepped in to salvage Satoru Gojo's reputation, never mind that.
After all, not everyone had the backbone to face a Grand Thunder Hollow Technique without flinching. More importantly, its wielder wore an expression that said, "If you don't help, I'll go down fighting, kill you all, and then go find Suguru Geto."
Of course, forcing Jujutsu Headquarters to intervene was only the beginning of Satoru Gojo's frantic attempts to salvage his reputation.
After getting Jujutsu Headquarters to act, Satoru Gojo rushed straight back to Jujutsu High to negotiate with Shoko.
The final outcome was that only after Shoko agreed to Satoru Gojo treating her to dessert three times, and declared that she would never again comment on the matter or spread any rumors, did he finally let Shoko off.
As for the last person, the culprit behind all this, Satoru Gojo had no intention of letting his wayward student Sherlock off either.
He charged straight into Sherlock's dorm room in the middle of the night, pressed his clenched fists against either side of Sherlock's head, and unleashed Misae's Secret Art: Spinning Divine Fist.
Beaten by Satoru Gojo in the morning, lectured by Masamichi Yaga in the afternoon, and without even having had time to ask Shoko to heal him, Sherlock had only just fallen asleep when his unscrupulous teacher dragged him out of bed and unleashed the Spinning Divine Fist.
Unsurprisingly, Sherlock exploded.
Not only had this Dickhead Cat ruined his great opportunities time and again, but this time he had also cost him the chance to have an in-depth exchange with a dark-skinned hottie and a short-haired mature beauty, and to show his great thunder holy sword to the entire world. Sherlock had wondered for a while whether he and Satoru Gojo were simply incompatible.
And now, just when he had finally decided to let this Dickhead Cat off, that damned white-haired Dickhead Cat had hauled him out of bed, forcibly interrupting his sweet dream of cuddling with his teachers, and even used the Spinning Divine Fist on him.
Sherlock promptly abandoned all thought, broke free of Satoru Gojo's hold in a fury of grief and indignation, turned around, and threw a punch straight at his face.
Satoru Gojo had not expected Sherlock to react like that, either. But as the strongest of the current era, although his purely hand-to-hand combat skills certainly fell short of his best friend Suguru Geto's, he was more than capable of handling a rookie like Sherlock.
He easily swatted Sherlock's incoming fist aside, then punched him in the stomach.
There were no other thoughts left in Sherlock's head. As he was being beaten senseless, his mind was filled with images of the Two Teachers gently instructing him. At that moment, Sherlock had only one thought.
Beat this Dickhead Cat to death!
Faced with Satoru Gojo's punch at his stomach, Sherlock actually forced himself to block it with his arm, then used the force of Satoru Gojo's punch to fly high into the air. Planting both feet against the wall, he pushed off and charged at Satoru Gojo again.
Faced with Sherlock's assault, Satoru Gojo, who had originally only intended to give Sherlock a beating and call the matter settled, visibly grew interested and began countering his moves one by one.
The two fought their way from the dormitory to the athletic field amid a flurry of blows. In the process, fueled by grief and indignation, Sherlock even unconsciously began using cursed energy.
Satoru Gojo naturally followed Sherlock's lead and used cursed energy as well.
With cursed energy strengthening them, their fight grew increasingly intense, but anyone watching would have noticed that Satoru Gojo was clearly still handling it with ease.
Sherlock, however, was not. On the contrary, he fought as though staking his life on it, with only one thought filling his head: he absolutely had to land a punch on this Dickhead Cat today!
Sometimes, fate really was that strange. Because of his cursed technique, Sherlock would actually have had a hard time pulling off something like Black Flash. Flying Thunder God itself required him to consider so many things that casting everything aside to fight was an extremely difficult task.
But this time was different. The successive blows of having his dreams shattered had broken Sherlock completely. Even his use of cursed energy during his fight with Satoru Gojo had been unconscious.
Having completely abandoned thought and his cursed technique, Sherlock bizarrely produced a current of black electricity around his fist during one of his exchanges with Satoru Gojo.
To Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes, this sight was no less shocking than Suguru Geto suddenly telling him that he had changed sex, gotten married, and even given birth to a big, chubby boy.
To be fair, any bizarre cursed technique appearing in Jujutsu Society could be considered normal, and the bizarre jujutsu sorcerers and curse users they produced were beyond counting.
But someone like this student of his, who had fucking landed a Black Flash because he had lost it over missing a fan festival, was an absolute rarity!
With no time to react, faced with Sherlock's punch that might be a Black Flash, Satoru Gojo chose not to block with his cursed technique, instead defending with nothing but his physical body and cursed energy.
The reason was simple: the principles of the Limitless technique made it impossible to trigger Black Flash's impact effect. His student might be a little bizarre, but he had managed to produce a rare Black Flash, and Satoru Gojo naturally would not let that opportunity slip away.
More importantly, he, Satoru Gojo, had never experienced what being hit by Black Flash actually felt like!
Sherlock's punch slammed squarely into Satoru Gojo's crossed arms, which were covered in cursed energy as he defended. Black lightning burst apart, and the tremendous force, carrying unparalleled destructive power, actually sent Satoru Gojo flying straight into the dormitory building.
After taking a Black Flash, Satoru Gojo coughed up blood for once, but his expression only grew more excited. Activating Reverse Cursed Technique at full power, he disregarded his injuries entirely and returned to the athletic field in an instant.
Having landed a Black Flash, Sherlock had no intention of letting that Dickhead Cat off. Seeing that the Dickhead Cat actually dared to return, Sherlock raised his fist and charged again, his eyes red.
As everyone knew, landing a Black Flash granted a temporary buff. That sensation of seemingly absolute control over cursed energy made Sherlock unconsciously grow excited as well. Cursed energy gathered in his fist, and tiny black bolts of lightning once again erupted around it.
Satoru Gojo was not to be outdone. Having personally experienced the power of Black Flash for the first time, with his learning ability and level of cursed energy control, replicating Sherlock's Black Flash was an utterly effortless matter.
Facing Sherlock's fist, around which Black Flash had gathered, Satoru Gojo raised his own fist, which likewise bore tiny bolts of black lightning much like Sherlock's.
"Black Flash!" ×2
Master and student slammed their fists squarely into each other's faces, and that miraculous black lightning burst apart around their fists almost simultaneously.
Both went flying almost in unison. Satoru Gojo flew into the dormitory building again, smashing quite a few windows and doors, while Sherlock went flying as well, except that he flew toward the woods.
Masamichi Yaga and Shoko, who had rushed out as soon as the two started fighting, could only exchange looks at the situation, each seeing speechlessness in the other's eyes.
Especially where Sherlock was concerned.
Could you call Sherlock a genius? His reason for landing Black Flash was that he had missed his teachers' fan festival. Could you say he was not a genius? He had fucking landed Black Flash! He had even gotten Satoru Gojo to land Black Flash along with him, and hit Satoru Gojo with two Black Flashes!
In the end, all those countless words could only turn into overtime for Shoko and a furious roar from Masamichi Yaga as he lost it.
"Sherlock! Satoru Gojo!!!!!!!!"
