The instant Satoru Gojo froze was his only chance.
Kento Nanami hesitated no longer. Blue cursed energy flowed rapidly over his body, pouring entirely into his knife-wielding right hand. "Slash!"
Kento Nanami roared for the first time.
Faced with the enormous blade of light formed from condensed cursed energy, Satoru Gojo finally showed a flicker of emotion. Crack, crack, crack.
The blue blade of cursed energy shattered inch by inch before Satoru Gojo, finally scattering into a skyful of crystalline light. Cursed Technique Lapse-Blue!
Blue was "absolute attraction." Its effect was to generate a powerful attractive force, turning the distance between multiple objects into "negative infinity." In simpler terms, it worked on a principle similar to a miniature black hole.
And Satoru Gojo had used Cursed Technique Lapse-Blue to draw the shattered dinner knife and the blade of light Kento Nanami had launched together.
He then used that to break apart Kento Nanami's all-or-nothing attack.
P.S. This will be going premium soon. I don't know if any of you big shots are still reading this book, but this humble author would like to ask for some engagement. Thank you, everyone.

Chapter 63: A teacher's authority
"Satoru's gotten serious."
Cursed Technique Lapse-Blue, part of Limitless.
Aside from battles against certain powerful cursed spirits, Suguru Geto had almost never seen Satoru Gojo use this move. And once Satoru Gojo used Cursed Technique Lapse-Blue...
That meant...
Satoru Gojo was getting serious.
"It's pretty unbelievable that a new student could make Satoru use Blue." Suguru Geto looked at Yu Haibara beside him, who was already too shocked to speak.
"Now that's how a normal new student should react."
Dawn Bar... Is Gojo Chingetsu the reason Kento Nanami is so unusual? Suguru Geto could not help remembering the white-haired boy who had saved him from a cursed spirit. "If it was him, then Kento Nanami's performance makes sense." At the center of the field...
Kento Nanami planted his short, curse-patterned blade in the ground, panting heavily. Although he had planned every step, trying hard to close the gap between himself and Satoru Gojo... But...
The gap between them was still too great. The moment Limitless came into play...
Kento Nanami knew this practical training session was over. However...
Kento Nanami felt no regret or resentment.
Once his breathing had settled, Kento Nanami looked up at Satoru Gojo, who had walked over to him. "I didn't embarrass Mr. Chingetsu, did I?"
Kento Nanami's voice was very quiet.
Satoru Gojo paused slightly, and a gentle smile curved his lips.
"Yeah, you did great. If Chingetsu knew you were working this hard, he'd definitely be happy." Satoru Gojo held out his hand.
Kento Nanami hesitated, then reached out to take it.
"Geto, you're up next. Set a good example for Haibara." Satoru Gojo helped Kento Nanami over to sit beside Masamichi Yaga.
"Huh? Huh? Huh? It's my turn already?"
Yu Haibara snapped out of his shock and pointed at his own nose. "I'm in your hands, Geto!"
Ten minutes later.
Suguru Geto dragged a bruised and battered Yu Haibara off the field. "Geto... your cursed spirits are sho shtrong..." Yu Haibara slurred, air leaking through his teeth.
Even after being forced to have a "friendly" exchange with his gentle senior, Haibara was still as full of energy as ever. However, his current appearance was truly a sorry sight.
Even the corners of Masamichi Yaga's mouth twitched. These brats went way too hard... After a long silence...
"You performed very well." Masamichi Yaga's low voice rang out.
"Both Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto possess the most absurd levels of talent and cursed techniques I've ever seen." Except for that guy.
Chingetsu's face appeared in Masamichi Yaga's mind.
If that guy would join Jujutsu High, Masamichi Yaga was completely confident he could teach a "monster" capable of overturning everything Jujutsu Society thought it knew!
Yes, a monster.
Only the word "monster" could describe Chingetsu's monstrous talent and monstrous understanding. Gojo Chingetsu.
He seemed to have already gone beyond the human level and begun to reveal a trace of divinity. Faced with such talent, Masamichi Yaga could hardly remain unmoved.
Yet no matter how he tried to persuade him, the other party refused to become his student. Or rather, refused to join Jujutsu High.
An inexplicable frustration rose in Masamichi Yaga's heart. And...
Satoru Gojo refused to tell him much about Gojo Chingetsu, leaving him unable to learn more about him at all.
At that thought, Masamichi Yaga's gaze suddenly turned dangerous.
"Satoru, you wrecked the field! Go fix it right now." Masamichi Yaga's behavior was, to some extent, tinged with a personal grudge.
"Huh? This was totally an accident. It counts as force majeure, force majeure! Besides, Geto didn't cause much less damage than I did."
Suguru Geto: "＝＝"
Satoru Gojo pursed his lips, not forgetting to drag Suguru Geto down with him. "So you won't even listen to your teacher anymore, Satoru."
Masamichi Yaga locked Satoru Gojo in a bear hug.
"So, do I need to demonstrate a teacher's authority in front of your juniors?" "All right, all right! I'll go, you troublesome old man!"
Satoru Gojo slipped out of Masamichi Yaga's bear hug like an eel. He had no desire to lose face in front of his juniors.
After all, getting spanked in public would be far too humiliating.
"This was supposed to be a day of getting to know our juniors, but now I'm the teacher's laborer." Satoru Gojo looked pitifully at Suguru Geto beside him.
"Geto, you'll help me, right?"

Chapter 64: The eerie departure lounge
"I'm telling you, stop giving me extra work, you damned Gojo." Shoko Ieiri looked helplessly at Satoru Gojo, who was laughing in front of her.
"Utahime and I already agreed to go drinking and sing karaoke tonight, and then you went and beat the first-years up like this." Shoko Ieiri knitted her pretty brows.
"All right, Shoko, hurry up and use your Reverse Cursed Technique to heal them." "When I get the chance, I'll take you somewhere. I guarantee there'll be all the booze you can drink!" "Do I look like someone who'd sell her soul for alcohol?" Shoko Ieiri pouted in displeasure, but her hands visibly picked up speed. Under Kento Nanami and Yu Haibara's astonished gazes...
The injuries they had suffered during practical training were healing at an utterly terrifying rate. "All done. Don't forget what you said." Shoko Ieiri elegantly lit a cigarette.
"Of course. How could I lie in front of my adorable juniors?" "Wouldn't you agree, Nanami?"
Satoru Gojo winked at Kento Nanami.
Kento Nanami began to worry about the alcohol at Dawn Bar. "Shoko, you're definitely going to love it there."
With one hand on Kento Nanami's shoulder and the other on Yu Haibara's, Satoru Gojo spoke to Shoko Ieiri with a mysterious expression. Creak.
The door opened. Utahime Iori walked in.
It's her? The woman who's a terrible drunk! Kento Nanami recognized Utahime Iori at a glance. The woman who could get herself worked up on beer alone and behaved terribly when drunk.
As it happened...
Utahime Iori recognized Kento Nanami too. "It's you? The guy from the bar!"
Utahime Iori curiously glanced at Kento Nanami's uniform.
"I never thought you'd become my junior. I remember very clearly how 'tactfully' you showed me out back then."
Utahime Iori heavily emphasized the word "tactfully." "Huh? You know Nanami too, Utahime?"
"You're saying you went to Chingetsu's bar and got shown out?" Satoru Gojo adjusted the sunglasses on his nose.
Utahime Iori seemed not to hear the teasing in Satoru Gojo's tone. She keenly picked up on the name Chingetsu that he had mentioned. "Chingetsu? Gojo Chingetsu?"
"Aha! So you do know him!" Utahime Iori was very angry.
Satoru Gojo clearly had information about Gojo Chingetsu, yet refused to tell her. "Heh?"
Satoru Gojo began playing dumb.
"Show me some respect, you jerk!"
Shoko Ieiri grabbed Utahime Iori, who was on the verge of exploding. "Utahime, ignore them. Let's go sing karaoke."
The three of them left the room. On the way back to the classroom...
"Gojo, what's the relationship between Utahime and Mr. Chingetsu?"
Kento Nanami could not help asking after all.
"Nothing much. They've only met once." Satoru Gojo waved a hand dismissively.
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, and his expression instantly became quite a sight. "No way. Could Utahime actually...?"
"Interesting. Very interesting. I wonder what expression Utahime would make if I brought her to see Chingetsu." The corners of Satoru Gojo's mouth rose uncontrollably, until he finally threw his head back and laughed.
"I get the feeling Gojo's thinking something really rude."
