Seeing that Toge Inumaki had recovered,
Maki Zenin and Panda chattered away, fussing over him.
Satoru Gojo walked over from behind, his hands in his pockets and his sunglasses pushed up onto his forehead. His azure eyes swept over everyone around him.
"All right."
"Stop standing around. Head back."
He turned his head toward Itadori.
"You, take Inumaki back and have Ieiri check him over. Wangchuan already did, but better safe than sorry."
Itadori nodded.
"Okay, sir."
He turned toward Kugisaki.
"You, go with Miwa and Nishimiya. Escort them back."
Kugisaki wanted to say something, but after glancing at Wangchuan, then Satoru Gojo, she swallowed her words.
"Okay."
Satoru Gojo looked at Maki Zenin.
"Maki, take your sister back."
Maki nodded, grabbed Mai by the arm, and left.

Panda was crouching on the ground. Satoru Gojo glanced at him.
"You go too."
Panda stood up and brushed the dirt off himself.
"Okay."
Noritoshi Kamo, Kokichi Muta, and the others followed. Aoi Todo was the last to leave, clapping Itadori on the shoulder as he passed.
"Brother."
"Hm?"
"Those eight consecutive Black Flashes you landed just now."
Todo grinned, showing a full row of teeth.
"Show me again next time."
Itadori scratched his head.
"Okay."
The group gradually receded into the distance.
Only three people remained at the edge of the forest.
Satoru Gojo, Wangchuan, and Megumi Fushiguro.
Megumi Fushiguro stood where he was without moving.
His hands were in his pockets, his expression calm, but something stirred in his eyes.
Satoru Gojo tilted his head to glance at him.
"Fushiguro?"
"You're not leaving?"
Megumi Fushiguro raised his head and looked at Satoru Gojo.
"Mr. Gojo."
"Hm?"
"I need to speak to Teacher Wangchuan."
Satoru
