Heavenly Restriction User of the Gojo Clan: I Refuse to Be Cut in Half Chapter 280: The Strongest vs. The Strongest Duo

Whenever Suguru thought of the terrifying power Satoshi displayed when he destroyed Sukuna’s finger, a chill ran down his spine.

Can we really win against soone as powerful as Satoshi?

Satoru looked at Suguru, shook his head, and chuckled.

There was no trace of guilt in his expression, even as his strength was being questioned.

Satoru patted his chest and declared confidently, "That’s exactly why we don’t have to be afraid. This is the Sister School Goodwill Event."

"Suguru, we’re the strongest duo. Maybe we can’t take Satoshi down one-on-one, but in a team match like this, things are different!"

Suguru’s eyes lit up. His brows rose as he clapped his hands, suddenly excited.

"Right! Satoshi and the Kyoto team definitely won’t have the kind of teamwork we do. If we exploit that, we might really stand a chance."

"Plus, Shoko’s support in team fights is a huge advantage. If we use her right, maybe we can actually bring Satoshi down!"

Satoru looked up at the sky, his gaze landing on a bird soaring overhead.

"It won’t be easy. But if Satoshi underestimates us, he’ll pay the price."

...

After a while, Yaga Masamichi scratched his head and left the training ground.

He had co intending to offer encouragent, hoping to prevent Satoru and the others from getting discouraged by Satoshi’s overwhelming strength.

But now it seed he’d been worrying too much.

Seeing Satoru burning with fighting spirit, he was starting to think maybe Satoshi joining Kyoto wasn’t a bad thing after all.

"Could it be that Satoshi saw this coming, and that’s why he chose to represent Kyoto?"

Yaga rubbed his chin and muttered, "But the answer... probably only Satoshi himself knows."

Shaking his head, he gave up trying to guess what was going on in that freak’s head.

...

After leaving the staff office at Jujutsu High, Yuki returned directly to her guest room at Kyoto Jujutsu High.

Iori Utahi and i i looked at Yuki with hesitant expressions.

Once she left, the two had discussed it between themselves...

i i was the first to admit their idea had been unrealistic.

There was no way Satoshi would agree to sothing like that.

He was Tokyo’s trump card. Asking him to abandon his school to fight alongside strangers?

No matter how you looked at it, Gojo Satoshi would never agree. It might even insult Kyoto Jujutsu High’s dignity.

Utahi and i i were both filled with regret.

"I’m sorry, Sensei... It was wrong of us to push sothing so unreasonable onto you," Utahi said with guilt written all over her face.

i i added, "Yeah, it was kind of ridiculous. There’s no way Gojo Satoshi would agree to sothing like that. Please don’t let it get to you, Sensei."

"Even without Satoshi, Utahi and I will do our best in the match."

Neither of them truly believed Satoshi would agree to join their team.

Yuki blinked, then gave them a bright smile. "Yeah, it was difficult..."

Utahi quickly added, "We still have that Grade 1 sorcerer Principal Gakuganji arranged to return from overseas, right? Even if Gojo Satoshi’s not joining, we still have a shot."

i i nodded. "He can rival a Special Grade under certain conditions. And with my support abilities, we’re not out of the ga."

Yuki said calmly, "Well... he’s strong, I won’t deny that. But Satoshi agreed."

The two girls had been about to say more.

But Yuki’s last sentence froze them in place.

"Sensei... what did you say?" Utahi stamred.

i i stared at her, eyes wide. "You’re joking, right?"

Yuki shook her head, smiling. "I’m completely serious."

Then she explained everything that had happened.

The two girls were completely stunned.

"You’re saying... Gojo Satoshi actually agreed to join us?" Utahi’s voice shook. Her whole body trembled with joy, and her face flushed red with excitent.

A huge smile blossod across her face.

Beside her, i i looked utterly shocked. "Sensei, how did you even pull that off? You didn’t... pay him, did you?"

"..."

Yuki gave a wry smile. "i i, do you really think offering money works on soone like Satoshi?"

i i stuck out her tongue playfully. "Sure it does! You probably just didn’t offer enough."

Utahi rolled her eyes. "Your values are seriously dangerous. You’re going to go astray one day."

"...I know what I’m doing," i i retorted proudly, hands on her hips.

Yuki covered her mouth and laughed.

She knew i i loved money, but at least she earned it honestly.

Utahi turned back to Yuki with a puzzled look. "But if Gojo Satoshi is joining, what about the person Principal Gakuganji arranged?"

They were originally just the vanguard representing Kyoto.

The team slots were already decided.

If Satoshi was taking soone’s place, wouldn’t that person—and the principal—be upset?

Not to ntion, that guy was pretty arrogant. If he found out Satoshi replaced him, he might cause trouble on purpose.

Yuki waved it off. "He can be the substitute. I’ll report it to Principal Gakuganji myself. Don’t worry about it."

"And don’t stress either. I brought Satoshi into the team for my own selfish reasons."

Yuki crossed her arms and narrowed her gem-like eyes.

"Your selfish reasons, huh?" i i and Utahi glanced at each other, both surprised.

But Utahi quickly smiled again. "Either way, Sensei, let’s give it our all in the goodwill event."

"Yeah, we’ll keep pushing forward."
