Have You Gotten Something Wrong?

[Spend one attempt to begin a simulation?]

[Simulation begins!]

[The next day]

[Because you joined midway through the term, your homeroom teacher, Masamichi Yaga, did not begin teaching right away.]

[Masamichi Yaga stood at the lectern with his arms folded, his gaze sweeping over the four students below from behind his sunglasses.]

["Since we have a new classmate, today's first lesson will be very simple, to help everyone get acquainted as quickly as possible."]

[Masamichi Yaga wrote "Information" on the blackboard.]

["Each of you will demonstrate and explain your Innate Cursed Technique. In Jujutsu Society, information about cursed techniques is often the key to life and death."]

[The room fell silent for a second before a disdainful snort broke the silence.]

[Satoru Gojo didn't even take his feet off his desk. Wearing sunglasses and chewing gum, he had an expression that said, "This little game of playing house is utterly boring."]

["Huh? Is that really necessary, Mr. Yaga?"]

["Put your legs down!"]

[Masamichi Yaga spoke angrily, snatching a piece of chalk from the desk and throwing it at Satoru Gojo.]

[The chalk shot toward Satoru Gojo like a bullet, only to stop dead an instant before impact and drop to the floor.]

["Limitless. As long as I want it that way, nothing can touch me. I'm the strongest. That's all you need to remember."]

[After saying that, he deliberately turned to you, a nasty smile curling his lips.]

["Newbie, if you run into danger, shouting 'Lord Gojo, save me!' would be more practical than relying on that pathetic little bit of cursed energy you have."]

[Satoru Gojo's behavior did not surprise you. Even Masamichi Yaga's dissatisfied yet helpless expression was just as you remembered.]

[It hadn't been long since Satoru Gojo and the others had enrolled. He wouldn't rein himself in until later, you thought.]

[Suguru Geto, sitting beside Satoru Gojo, shook his head helplessly. Though he looked far more polite than Satoru Gojo, the arrogance in his bones was exactly the same.]

["Satoru, don't scare our new classmate."]

[Suguru Geto raised a hand with a smile. The pitch-black shadow behind him instantly churned, and an ugly cursed spirit giving off Grade 2 cursed energy fluctuations slowly emerged, settling obediently on his shoulder.]

["Cursed Spirit Manipulation."]

[Suguru Geto looked gently at Li Shunchen, as though explaining basic facts to an elementary school student.]

["I subdue and control cursed spirits. Right now, I have a stock of a few hundred like this, I suppose. If you need sparring partners, I can lend you a couple to play with."]

[His tone was like someone showing off his toys, his politeness carrying a lofty sense of distance.]

[The only girl, Shoko Ieiri, was slumped over her desk, faint dark circles beneath her eyes, twirling a lighter in her hand.]

["Reverse Cursed Technique. It can't be used for fighting, but as long as you're not completely dead, I can bring you back."]

[Shoko clearly still remembered your gift from yesterday. She looked at you and added.]

["Basically, I'm the support staff who cleans up after these idiots who do nothing but make trouble. Li, if you get hurt, remember you can skip the line."]

[The three finished their demonstrations. A brief silence fell over the classroom, and every gaze turned to you in the corner.]

[Masamichi Yaga nodded and looked at you.]

["Li Shunchen, your turn. I've read the report on your fight yesterday, but I'd like to hear your understanding of your own cursed technique."]

[Satoru Gojo whistled and pulled his sunglasses down a little, revealing one azure eye as he studied you with interest.]

[Suguru Geto also adjusted his posture, seemingly waiting to see whether this "transfer student" could produce something halfway decent.]

[However, you did not move.]

[You remained seated quietly, your hands resting flat on your knees, your expression so indifferent that you seemed uninvolved.]

[One second, two seconds, ten seconds passed.]

["Hey, newbie."]

[Satoru Gojo tapped his pen impatiently against his desk.]

["Scared stupid? It's fine even if your cursed technique is weak. Just say it out loud, something like 'My cursed technique makes paper flowers,' and we'll still clap for you."]

[Suguru Geto also frowned slightly.]

["Li?"]

[Under everyone's gaze, you finally moved.]

[You formed no hand signs, released no burst of cursed energy, and didn't even change the rhythm of your breathing.]

[You merely raised a hand and gently pushed up the black-framed glasses on your nose, their lenses reflecting a cold glint.]

["Gojo. Geto."]

[Your voice was calm and quiet, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.]

["Have you gotten something wrong?"]

["Huh?"]

[Satoru Gojo raised an eyebrow.]

[Li Shunchen looked straight into those legendary Six Eyes and spoke calmly.]

["My demonstration actually began the moment I walked into this classroom."]

["What did you say?"]

[Suguru Geto narrowed his eyes. As a Special Grade, he hadn't detected any trace of a cursed technique activating?]

["My cursed technique is called 'Phantom Parade.'"]

[Li Shunchen explained unhurriedly.]

["Its effect is very simple: reading. Through contact with or sensing cursed energy, I analyze the structure and principles of the other person's cursed technique."]

[As you spoke, your gaze shifted to Satoru Gojo. There was not the slightest fear in your eyes, but rather a scholarly curiosity.]

["Take Gojo's Limitless, for example. In my view, it's a precise operation that brings the 'Achilles and the tortoise' paradox into reality. You don't merely block attacks. You screen all objects approaching you by their mass, speed, and shape before activating it. Because of that enormous volume of calculations, even your brain is constantly under a heavy load, which is why you need to keep eating sweets to replenish your sugar, right?"]

[The smile instantly vanished from Satoru Gojo's face.]

[He abruptly sat up straight, those azure eyes fixed on you.]

[No one knew these details except the core members of his family and jujutsu sorcerers at the very highest levels!]

[He couldn't accept it. You, a transfer student he had only met once, had seen through the truth at a glance?]
