Before reading, here is a reminder to distinguish between Toge and Inumaki Satoru.
Inumaki Satoru: Toge's body, with Satoru's Soul as the dominant force.
Toge: The poor guy whose Soul has been squeezed into a corner by Satoru's Soul.
Satoru: Satoru's Soul, who converses with his Soul inside Toge's body.

Tokyo Jujutsu High, second-year training ground.
Before the Exchange Event, all second-year participants were undergoing high-intensity training nearby.
Fortunately, Tokyo Jujutsu High was large enough, and there were enough teacher resources to provide targeted guidance to everyone.
Panda was guided by Masamichi, Maki was guided by Toji, and Toge was being taught Reverse Cursed Technique by Satoru.
That's right, Toge agreed to let Satoru enter his body.
After Eichi and Megumi personally demonstrated the "entering a body" operation, Toge realized that he had misunderstood the teachers before.
With the misunderstanding cleared up, and because he genuinely needed Reverse Cursed Technique to improve his strength, Toge ultimately agreed to the teaching plan proposed by Eichi.
"Pickles." (Is it really okay?)
These were the last words Toge spoke before losing control of his body.
"No problem... right?"
Eichi's comforting words had just left his mouth when he recalled the last time Satoru helped Suguru learn Reverse Cursed Technique.
This kind of scene seemed a bit too stimulating for Toge.
Never mind. Children would grow up eventually, and if he kept holding back and could not go wild, he would not become a strong individual in the jujutsu world.
"Yay, I'm finally out! Eichi, you're so slow."
Satoru's Soul awakened within Toge's body and quickly took over control of the physical form.
Having experienced it once before, Satoru was already adept at this.
It was precisely because of that previous experience that this training session did not send Megumi and Toge's Souls into Eichi and Satoru's bodies.
Instead, it allowed them to learn and feel up close how the two operated Cursed Energy and used their Cursed Techniques from within the body.
"Toge isn't Suguru, so take it easy."
Recalling Toge's slightly uneasy tone at the end, Eichi still reminded him before leaving.
"I know, don't worry."
With that, Inumaki Satoru jumped out the window.
Eichi: "...Never mind, I'll go finish Megumi's training first."
With that, Eichi, using Megumi's body, placed his own body in the infirmary, then went out to subdue Mahoraga.
On the other side, Inumaki Satoru walked idly along Tokyo Jujutsu High's forest path, bored.
'It's really incredible, communicating directly with people in normal language like this.'
Toge, deep within his Soul, said.
"I see you usually communicate quite smoothly with everyone, especially Panda. How does he manage to hear the meaning of more than a dozen words from just two words?"
Inumaki Satoru was a little curious.
'That, well, should I say Panda is very understanding? Or that Panda is very attentive... Hmm, what word should I use?'
Toge, who usually only spoke using rice ball ingredients, was at a loss for words.
Although "understanding" was the correct expression, Toge always felt that it was a bit impolite to say that about a panda.
"Someone's there."
Inumaki Satoru saw a hint of black peeking out from the bushes.
It was someone's hair.
"Cursed Energy leakage?"
Inumaki Satoru pulled open Toge's collar, which was used to cover the Cursed markings and reduce the volume of his voice.
When he had spoken just now, he could feel his Cursed Energy leaking out with his words.
"Go out, come in, go out..."
Inumaki Satoru seemed to have found a new toy and began studying Cursed Speech.
Cursed Energy constantly moved in and out of Toge's body under his precise control.
"Interesting."
Inumaki Satoru was having fun, while Toge, deep within his Soul, also felt a shock from the "ceiling."
It had taken him several days to initially limit the direction in which Cursed Speech spread, yet Satoru, who had only just encountered Cursed Speech, discovered the trick in a few minutes?
This stemmed from Satoru's atomic-level precise control over Cursed Energy.
Although Toge's body did not have the Six Eyes, the ability to precisely control Cursed Energy had long since become Satoru's instinct.
"You're noisy, kid. Go play somewhere else."
Toji, who was slacking off in the bushes, seemed annoyed by Inumaki Satoru's chatter and began loudly shooing him away.
This also drew the gaze of Inumaki Satoru, who was studying Cursed Speech.
"What are you doing?"
As he spoke, more Cursed Energy leaked out, though it was much less than when Toge spoke himself.
"Scram."
Toji, squatting on the ground, glanced sideways at Inumaki Satoru, waved his hand impatiently, then continued watching the ants on the ground.
Watching ant hills for an entire afternoon might be childish for elementary school students, but for Toji, it was just right.
With no money for sports betting, he was currently dividing the ants on the ground into factions and betting in his mind which side would win.
Inumaki Satoru ignored Toji's tone and carefully observed his squatting posture.
"I know, you're here to take a dump, aren't you?"
Inumaki Satoru placed his left hand flat in front of him, then brought his right hand, shaped like a hammer, down onto his left palm.
"You brat..."
Toji's eye twitched. He wanted to give Toge an extra session of combat training.
As for Maki?
He had already let her practice freely. Otherwise, where would he find the time to slack off?
Maki's growth was something Toji had been watching all along. He had never imagined that in just a few years, that little girl would catch up to him.
This gave Toji, who cared about almost nothing, a slight sense of frustration.
Then he continued lying down.
Toji stood up. His massive figure completely overshadowed Inumaki Satoru, who was only about 1.6 meters tall, and a terrifying sense of pressure bore down on Inumaki Satoru.
The next second, Toji's expression stiffened, and he instinctively reached for his butt while simultaneously clenching his core, pulling in his stomach, and standing on tiptoe.
The Cursed Speech had taken effect. Toji felt an intense urge to expel.
Because Inumaki Satoru's precision in manipulating Cursed Energy far exceeded Toge's, the effect of the Cursed Speech was greatly enhanced.
Toji's Heavenly Restriction only gave him high magic resistance, not magic immunity, so he fell victim to it.
The next second, Toji began sprinting for the first time in a long while. He needed to find a secluded spot before he completely lost control.
"I'll remember you, you bastard kid!"
A strangely satisfying sound faintly echoed from the woods.
"He really was here to take a dump."
After Toji disappeared, Inumaki Satoru no longer paid him any mind and continued strolling while maintaining the operation of Reverse Cursed Technique.
'Gojo-sensei, is Fushiguro-sensei okay?'
Toge, deep within his Soul, asked with a trembling voice.
Recalling Toji's gaze as he disappeared, as if he wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces, Toge wished he could immediately flee Tokyo Jujutsu High.
His hometown was not safe either. He had heard Eichi-sensei say that Fushiguro-sensei was very good at intelligence work, so perhaps he should hide in a foreign country.
"Daijobu, daijobu. That guy isn't scary at all."
Inumaki Satoru clasped his hands behind his head and arrived at the dormitory area with light steps.
'That's true for the teachers. We aren't as strong as the teachers.'
"Yosh, Gojo's little classroom is open.
Today, I'll teach you a unique Cursed Technique to deal with Toji. Guaranteed, after you hit his left cheek, he'll offer his right cheek."
'There is such a unique Cursed Technique?'
Toge was shocked.
"That's right."
Inumaki Satoru extended a finger.
"You only need to do one thing. Take out one hundred million dollars, throw it in front of him, and then you can beat him however you want."
Toge: '...'
"Oh, right, when you hit him, remember not to kill him, or he'll kill you and run off with the money."
'Thanks, I'm even more scared now.'
"Why?"
'Do you think I can produce one hundred million dollars?'
"Is one hundred million a lot?"
'...'
Toge felt that hiding in a foreign country for a while would be more reliable.
