By the very next day, Maki had gritted her teeth and returned to the training group. Sherlock remained as foul-mouthed as ever, doing whatever he pleased, and his language grew especially obscene and violent when he targeted Maki.
It was not just Maki. Later, Satoru Gojo even shoved Toge Inumaki into Sherlock's hands, and having all the first-years assembled only made Sherlock more unrestrained.
The main reason Sherlock put the three through this desensitization training was actually simple: it was already spring, and summer, the peak season for cursed spirits, was just around the corner.
Even Sherlock had endured a bitter summer back then. Rather than let them face a bitter summer like that, it was better to get them used to Jujutsu Society's malice in advance. After all, Jujutsu Society had never been a fairy-tale world.
Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi understood, watching their eldest fellow student turn into a mage with some amusement.
Although they had only undergone this sort of training after summer back then, Sherlock's sudden return had actually meant that, behind the scenes, they were already under his protection.
During that "boot camp," Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi had also had the same questions as Maki, and Masamichi Yaga, who had been responsible for teaching them at the time, had explained the reason using Suguru Geto as an example.
The difference was that, back then, the sheer volume of "training" left them without the energy to ponder that "bitter summer" the way Suguru Geto once had. Now, however, Sherlock was making them "get used to" that bitter summer in advance.
Still, understanding was one thing. It did not stop either of them from cursing.
What? Why were they cursing? Had you seen what Sherlock was actually teaching Maki beneath that stream of obscene, violent profanity?
