Hello. It's Naoya-kun in the middle of PE class.
"Alright then, next is... well, Naoya."
Immediately after Toji-kun entrusted Geto-kun to Ieiri-san, he pulled the Special Grade Cursed Tool 'Playful Cloud' out of his bag.
"Why? Ain't the killin' intent way higher for me?"
"You can use Reverse Cursed Technique on your own, so you won't die. In that case, it's better to drag you through a sparking dead line, right?"
Without giving me a moment to properly retort to the absurd things he was saying, Toji-kun started swinging Playful Cloud around with great force and charged straight at me.
No, I don't need that kind of charging... The fact that he doesn't even let me make a comeback joke shows that Toji-kun really is a Kansai-person killer.
"Shiiii—!!!!"
"Too scary! That's creating a sonic boom, ain't it!?"
No? Is it okay to swing a Mach-speed three-section staff that I can barely dodge by entering a 240FPS world using my technique in a school class?
But well, Toji-kun not cutting corners in a match is wonderful in its own way. As expected, Toji-kun is strong. If I let my guard down, I'll die, so I gotta move.
"Phantom! Flash into Sonic Impact! Shit! I missed! Where'd he go!? Shadow? Up!? Flash! Phantom! Whoa, no good, I'm gonna die! The Fourth Wall!!!"
When I tried to punch him, he dodged magnificently with a jump and flew at me with a mysterious aerial acceleration tackle. Why do the Gorilla tribe, like Maki-chan and Toji-kun, fly in the sky? Are they anti-gravity gorillas?
Moreover, when I thought I'd confuse him with clones and escape, he spun around like a drill along with Playful Cloud to launch an area-of-effect attack... Is that the Super King Movie Bullet? When did Toji-kun learn the School of the Undefeated of the East? Should I call him Master Gorilla next time?
"Toji-kun, do ya not know the meanin' of a class? This ain't an execution, it's a lesson, yeah?"
"You say that while dodging everything. You're not dead, are you?"
"If I died, it'd be a huge problem in many ways..."
"Then try your hardest not to make it a problem!"
"Toji-kun, you have no mercy, do ya!? Are you an idiot!?!?"
By what principle does a shockwave fly when you swing a three-section staff??? Is it that? If he shouts 'Sonic Boom!', will it come out? Was Toji-kun actually Guile? Then wait a sec! Don't come over here!?
"—Tch! —Tch!"
"Oh, oh, looks like you want to say something but can't? Aren't you going to recite your specialty Haiku?"
Don't screw with me, seriously. Do you have any idea how much brain power it takes to speak in 5-7-5? Honestly, I don't have that kind of leeway. Just escaping reality inside my brain like this is taking everything I've got— No good, the shockwaves increased! What's the principle behind increasing or decreasing them with the way you spin it?
Can't be helped, gotta do it—!?
"—!"
"Oh, here it comes—!"
Domain Expansion. Originally, the technique itself was basically born as a countermeasure against Toji-kun!
By limiting the Domain to the interior of my body, I can activate it stably even while moving. Against an absurd opponent like Toji-kun who freely slips through barriers, there's no benefit in expanding the Domain outward. So, by daring to discard the condition that would give me an advantage against other sorcerers or cursed spirits, I treat it as placing a ridiculous Binding on it to boost its strength and performance!
I'll blow your mind with a Mach 100 flying kick—wait, HAH!?
"I can't see it, but I can read you, you idiot!"
I should have aimed completely from his blind spot, so why...!?
"You're too scared of me. Because of the fear that 'Even at Mach speed, he might be able to see me', you have no choice other than 'attacking from the blind spot'. In that case, all I have to do is rely on my instinct and slam this into the blind spot, right?"
As he said that, the Black Rope was in Toji-kun's hand.
Immediately after understanding that, having suffered the penalty of Projection Sorcery's '1 second freeze' because my technique was disrupted, I had Toji-kun's German Suplex slammed into me, and I ended up stuck in the ground like Sukekiyo—apparently.
It's hearsay because I fainted from the penalty followed by the ground-embedding German Suplex, and I only learned about it when I woke up to Satoru-kun teasing me relentlessly.
And when I said, "I lost in a better way than you, though," he snapped at me. Seriously annoying...
But well, Toji-kun really is strong... It seems I still lack training.
It's a rare opportunity. Honestly, hanging out with a bunch of commoners who don't know the first thing about jujutsu is stressful, but if I think of this as training too, maybe being a serious student isn't so bad?
