Bang, bang, bang!
Mai quickly emptied her magazine again.
Taking advantage of Mai reloading, Inumaki Satoru immediately stopped his strange dance and ran into the woods at full speed.
"Come out. If you've got the guts, don't hide."
Mai chased into the woods, fuming.
"Kawaii, kawaii. As expected of a Tokyo Jujutsu High student, so energetic."
Inumaki Satoru squatted on a tree, watching Mai search for him below.
"Moshi moshi, are you still there, Inumaki-kun?"
Noticing that Toge, deep within his Soul, had not spoken for a long time, he curiously extended his perception toward the corner where Toge's Soul resided.
'I'm sorry, Mom. My life as a human has ended. If there is a next life, I am willing to continue being your son...'
"You don't want to be human anymore either?"
Listening to the constant murmuring from the depths of his Soul, Inumaki Satoru scratched his head.
He decided to have Toge and Yuji team up more often later.
He believed Yuji could help Toge integrate into the "harmonious" big family of Tokyo Jujutsu High.
"Yo, playing hide-and-seek? How about I join in?"
"Alright, let's play."
Hearing someone invite him to play hide-and-seek, Inumaki Satoru agreed without thinking.
Feeling the Cursed Speech suddenly imposed on him, Toji revealed a cruel smile.
Boom.
"Yahoo, over here, over here."
"That way?"
Mai immediately turned her head upon hearing the loud noise.
"Very energetic. How about you try this move?"
Toji took out the Chain of a Thousand Miles and continuously swung it at Inumaki Satoru.
Even though it was a forest full of obstacles, the Chain of a Thousand Miles moved nimbly through the trees like a living venomous snake.
Inumaki Satoru dodged through the forest as nimbly as a monkey.
When he brushed past Toji just now, Inumaki Satoru vaguely felt that Toji's pants did not seem to be the same ones as before.
The three of them quickly moved to an open training ground.
"It's been so noisy since just now."
Maki, who was currently spending her youth on the training ground, hoisted her Thousand Machine Umbrella and looked at the approaching figures with irritation.
Whoosh.
A somewhat disheveled figure darted out of the dense forest.
"Your legs are so short, Inumaki-kun."
Inumaki Satoru was a bit helpless. If it were his own body, he definitely would not be outrun by that pretty boy.
"Hey, Inumaki."
Not getting a reply from Toge, Satoru subconsciously looked at his Soul.
"Being so depressed is not the right mindset for a Young Man! A Young Man should be full of Origin Qi, fearless of any difficulties, and face them with a smile! Come on, let's go!"
Inside Toge's body, Satoru immediately transferred his consciousness in after seeing that it would take the two of them some time to catch up.
Then Satoru's Soul embraced Toge's Soul and began hands-on teaching.
"You have to feel it carefully. This is an excellent opportunity to improve your physical combat skills."
Just then, Maki also arrived next to "Toge."
"Hey, what happened?"
"Sister, catch him for me!"
Maki had not finished her question when she heard her sister's voice.
Maki subconsciously turned her head and saw her sister, with disheveled hair, because her hair had not been tied up properly and had come loose, and a messy face, because tree branches and tears of shame had smudged her makeup, holding two guns and shouting at her.
"Mai?"
Mai could hardly believe her eyes. Had her sister started rebelling?
"Sister, what are you waiting for? Quickly catch that pervert for me!"
Pervert?
Maki, precisely catching those two words, instantly looked at "Toge" with fierce eyes.
"Hey, what exactly is happening..."
Before she could finish speaking, Satoru, who had once again taken control of Toge's body, lifted his legs and ran wildly.
This run dispelled Maki's last doubts.
Maki had not expected that Toge, this usually honest and quiet rice ball lover, would dare to bully her sister.
But that was not important. What mattered was that the person who bullied her sister absolutely could not be let go!
"Hey, Inumaki, I'll give you three seconds to say your last words."
Maki, switching her Thousand Machine Umbrella to its greatsword form, slashed in front of Inumaki Satoru.
"Three seconds is too short. I need three minutes."
"Huh? You..."
Just as Maki was about to speak, she felt her body become heavy.
Maki immediately struggled with all her might, and Inumaki Satoru had already changed direction and continued running.
"Got you."
Toji transformed his heavy hammer to its largest size and smashed it down hard at Inumaki Satoru.
Rumble.
A huge sound echoed throughout the entire Tokyo Jujutsu High.
"Can't hit, can't hit, can't hit."
The three of them began continuously attacking Inumaki Satoru, but he dodged all of them with increasingly strange postures.
This was the effect of Cursed Speech.
The Cursed Speech did not distort the attacks of Toji and the other two. Rather, it interfered with Inumaki Satoru's own movements, causing him to avoid all attacks.
The group noticed that the "Toge" in front of them was moving more and more flamboyantly, and they all silently chose to increase their intensity.
When Eichi emerged from the infirmary, he witnessed such a chaotic battle scene.
"Did the Zenin Clan and the Gojo Family go to war?"
Eichi rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Eichi, knowing that Satoru's Soul was inside Toge's body, naturally would not think they were fighting Toge.
"How come I, the acting family head, don't know about this?"
It was only because Eichi did not want to get involved in the Zenin Clan's messy affairs. Otherwise, Naobito would have abdicated long ago.
"I'm flying away, bye bye!"
After saying that, a surge of Cursed Energy, like wind, propelled Inumaki Satoru into the distance.
"Don't even think about escaping."
The exasperated Mai pulled out a grenade.
"Stop."
The grenade stopped in midair, but the explosion inside did not.
Boom.
Inumaki Satoru began falling toward the ground. At that moment, the figures of Panda and Masamichi came into view.
"Panda, catch me."
Panda, who was sparring with Masamichi, vaguely heard someone calling him. The next second, he uncontrollably ran wildly into the distance.
"What are you going to do, Panda?"
Masamichi noticed Panda's anomaly and immediately followed him.
"Stop."
Inumaki Satoru used Cursed Speech to slow his speed, successfully landing in Panda's soft embrace.
"What's going on, Inumaki?"
Suddenly, "Toge" in Panda's arms began rubbing against him vigorously.
"Don't do that. No, I'm going to get dirty."
Inumaki Satoru did not have Limitless, so he was indeed very dirty at the moment.
"Stop right there!"
Just then, Maki and the others caught up.
Inumaki Satoru looked at the three people behind him, then at Panda, and a new training project appeared in his mind.
"It's decided. It's you, Domineering Panda!"
"Eh, Inumaki, what are you suddenly saying? No, how can you speak Mandarin? Is my job as Inumaki-go translator finally going to be lost?"
The next moment, Panda felt his body uncontrollably charge toward Toji and Maki.
"Wait, wait, wait, what exactly is going on?"
"Domineering Panda, use Tackle on Toji!"
"Yes, yes, yes, just like that. Next move, use Bullet Punch."
"Low Kick, quickly use Low Kick!"
"Woah, that was close. Panda, quickly use Taunt on Maki!"
"How would I know how to taunt? No, Maki, why are you actually hitting me?!"
"Accelerate, run faster, Panda."
"Good opportunity, use Body Slam."
Under Inumaki Satoru's command and the enhancement of Cursed Speech, Panda actually managed to tie down Toji and Maki.
Inside Inumaki Satoru's body, Toge, who had been forcibly pulled up by Satoru's Soul to learn, was watching the scene before him in shock.
He seemed to have discovered a new continent of Cursed Speech.
After all, it was his own body, and although he could not compete with Satoru, Toge could still sense the changes in his body.
He could feel that every word from Satoru was adjusting the intensity of Cursed Speech, and that the Cursed Speech used on Panda and the others had all been tested on himself beforehand.
If damage was caused, it was healed with Reverse Cursed Technique.
'Is this Reverse Cursed Technique plus Cursed Speech?'
Toge, who originally did not dare to use Cursed Speech on himself, suddenly wanted to immediately learn Reverse Cursed Technique and then try whether he could use Cursed Speech to strengthen himself to the point of fighting Toji and Maki simultaneously.
In the jujutsu world, fist-to-fist combat was a romance that jujutsu sorcerers found hard to refuse.
