Satoru Gojo stood still.
The hand he had just used to catch Akutagawa Shang's attack now hung limply at his side, swaying in the breeze.
It looked as though the joints inside had been completely dislocated.
But unexpectedly,
there was not a trace of pain on the injured Satoru Gojo's face.
Instead, he was still smiling.
And perhaps it was Akutagawa Shang's imagination, but he felt that Gojo's grin was growing wider and wider, even looking a little... deranged?
Seeing that Gojo was injured, Akutagawa Shang hurried forward to check his injuries.
But Gojo raised his uninjured hand in front of him, stopping him.
"Akutagawa-kun, I'm fine... no, I should put it this way. Right now, I feel... absolutely incredible-!!!"
He paused, his voice abruptly rising.
Then he grabbed his dislocated arm with his remaining good hand and gave it a sharp wrench.
With a crack, the arm snapped back into place.
Then his Reverse Cursed Technique activated, restoring the injured arm to its original state.
"Huh-?!!!"
Utterly bewildered, Akutagawa Shang stopped short, unable to understand why Gojo was smiling so happily after getting hurt.
"Looks like Gojo-sensei is getting excited..."
"Akutagawa-kun is going to get beaten up..."
At the edge of the field, Panda, Toge Inumaki, and a tightly bound Megumi Fushiguro sat quietly on their haunches, watching the fight.
Yes, their sparring session with Maki had already ended.
More accurately... Maki had gotten tired of beating them up.
Once Maki had fully adjusted to her body, it had essentially become a one-sided beating for all three.
Because of the complete form of Heavenly Restriction's extremely high resistance to cursed energy, Toge Inumaki's Cursed Speech was essentially ineffective.
As for Megumi Fushiguro's animal friends, those two big dogs, one black and one white,
they had struggled even against Maki
