Ding-a-ling.
"That concludes today's lesson. Class dismissed."
The familiar bell rang, and Yaga Masamichi, who never extended class, closed his book and left the classroom at the appropriate time.
"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, look at me!"
As soon as Yaga Masamichi left the classroom, Gojo Satoru spun and jumped onto the podium.
"That expression… did you think of something fun again, Satoru?"
Suguru Geto, who knew Gojo Satoru best, was the first to speak.
"As expected of Geto."
Gojo Satoru gave Suguru Geto a thumbs-up and a cute single-eye wink.
"Let's go outside."
The next moment, Gojo Satoru jumped onto the window.
"You should use the door, Satoru."
"No, Geto, are you a fussbudget?"
"If Geto admits it, are you willing to call him Mom?"
"Eichi, I think you're better suited to adopt Satoru."
"No, I don't raise cats."
"Wait, I'm not a cat!"
Gojo Satoru, who had just jumped out the window, instantly poked most of his body back into the classroom to protest.
Watching the three bickering by the window, Shoko Ieiri silently took Artoria's hand.
"Shall we go for afternoon tea, Saber?"
Upon hearing the words "afternoon tea," Artoria immediately stood up.
"Let's go, Shoko."
Shoko Ieiri smiled.
"Indeed, Artoria is much cuter than those three scummy boys."
"Wait, Shoko, don't leave me behind!"
Gojo Satoru lunged into the classroom from outside the window, wrapping his arms around Shoko Ieiri's leg.
Shoko Ieiri skillfully kicked his Limitless.
"No, it's definitely something boring."
Most girls truly couldn't understand the joy boys found in games.
Just as girls rarely said what they truly wanted, boys could only try to appease them first.
"Don't abandon me, Shoko~"
Gojo Satoru unleashed his cat-like charm offensive.
Shoko Ieiri was critically hit.
"Geto, control your Satoru."
Shoko Ieiri looked at Suguru Geto with a speechless expression.
Suguru Geto was currently sitting with his legs crossed on the desk, whistling towards the window, as if completely oblivious to the situation.
"It's very impolite to disturb a lady's mealtime, Satoru."
Artoria, standing beside Shoko Ieiri, spoke with authority, her arms crossed.
'Saber is still the reliable one.'
Shoko Ieiri gave Artoria a look that said, "Well done."
"It is a bit rude…"
Seeing Artoria speak, Gojo Satoru lay on his back on the ground, pinching his chin in thought for a moment.
"Yosh!"
Gojo Satoru suddenly stood up.
"After we're done playing, let's go out for a big meal, Saber! Eat whatever you want; Young Master Gojo will pay for everything."
Gojo Satoru instantly appeared in front of Artoria, pointing his right hand towards the bustling direction of Tokyo.
"Sushi, oden, hot pot, sukiyaki… there's so much delicious food, I can't eat it all."
The next moment, Gojo Satoru feigned a headache.
"It's fine, I can eat it all."
Shoko Ieiri felt Artoria's eyes glowing at that moment.
"Hunger is a great enemy! We must eliminate all delicious food with an unyielding spirit!"
Artoria clenched her right hand in front of her, her 1.5-meter height exuding the Aura of a 2.5-meter giant.
'Ah, it's like this again.'
Shoko Ieiri covered her face in exasperation.
'I always feel like Artoria has been completely reeled in.'
Shoko Ieiri spent a lot of time with Artoria, partly because they were the only two girls in their year.
The other reason was that Shoko Ieiri enjoyed the feeling of feeding Artoria.
However, this hobby had now been completely taken over by Gojo Satoru.
'Never mind, Saber only acts this way with people she trusts anyway.'
Shoko Ieiri recalled the scene a while ago when Medea invited Artoria.
"Is class over, Saber?"
Medea, appearing from around the corner of the hallway as if by accident, said this.
"Mm."
Artoria only nodded in response.
"Do you have time now? If you do, would you like to come to my room for a while? I've prepared tea and delicious snacks, you know."
Medea clasped her hands together and tilted them to the side of her face, her pretty face tilting with her hands, and warm light and beautiful flowers seemed to appear around her.
"No."
Snap.
Artoria refused without a hint of hesitation.
Medea was instantly petrified by this unexpected answer.
"W-why, Saber? You usually enjoy having snacks with friends, don't you? Why…"
"My intuition tells me you have ill intentions."
Artoria's words made Medea's heart skip a beat.
'Has it been exposed? My plan to make Saber do this, then that, and finally…'
"Let's go, Shoko, to your room for afternoon tea."
"Mm."
Shoko Ieiri naturally had no objections, casting a somewhat pitying glance at Medea before the two returned to their dorm to enjoy a pleasant tea time.
End of flashback.
The group quickly arrived outside the classroom.
They held various small props Gojo Satoru had requested.
Shoko Ieiri and Suguru Geto held pencils and erasers, while Artoria held a ruler.
Eichi said he'd come later and quietly went to where Shoko Ieiri hid her liquor.
Realizing what Gojo Satoru was up to, Eichi decided to prank him.
Then, Eichi took out a case of beer, poured it into a bucket, and then put the bucket into his shadow.
"Later, have Gojo Satoru buy you another case."
Eichi clasped his hands together, offering a Void Realm apology to Shoko Ieiri.
Then Eichi dived into the shadow.
"Let's begin."
Gojo Satoru's words fell.
The stationery in the three's hands was thrown at Gojo Satoru simultaneously.
The eraser hit Gojo Satoru's forehead, while the pencil and ruler were stopped mid-air by Limitless.
Splash.
Eichi emerged from Gojo Satoru's shadow, pouring the water in his hands over Gojo Satoru's head without hesitation.
"Anything goes," Gojo Satoru had said.
"Too bad."
The water splashed outwards as it approached Gojo Satoru's head.
It was like it had been poured onto an umbrella.
"It's no use."
Gojo Satoru leaned back and made a face at Eichi.
"Is this Limitless automatically selecting Technique targets?"
Suguru Geto was the first to state his discovery.
"That's right."
Gojo Satoru smugly curled his lips.
"The old Limitless was a manual transmission; I've converted it to an automatic."
Gojo Satoru took the pencil and ruler from mid-air and twirled them a few times.
"The current Limitless no longer just judges based on the strength of Cursed Energy as before; it also automatically assesses the danger level of an object based on information like speed, mass, and shape."
"However, it still can't automatically filter out toxins and such; that's too troublesome."
"Now, I can operate Limitless almost infinitely with minimal consumption."
"If you do that, you'll burn out your brain."
Shoko Ieiri, the medical student, expressed her concern.
"It's fine; I'll keep Reverse Cursed Technique active to repair my brain, so there's always a fresh supply of brains."
Gojo Satoru twirled his right hand around his head a few times.
'Fresh brains… I suddenly want to stew a brain.'
Eichi thought this after hearing Gojo Satoru's words.
"I can also activate Techniques without hand signs, and the free conversion between Blue and Red, as well as simultaneous multiple activations, are also complete."
Blue and red lights alternately glowed on Gojo Satoru's pen-twirling hand.
"Next up are Domain and long-distance teleportation."
Technique Reversal and Technique Reversal?
Eichi rested his chin on one hand, falling into thought as he watched Gojo Satoru, who was alternately blue and red.
