From outward appearance alone, Alex looked about twenty years old, making it entirely plausible for him to enroll as a new student.
Gojo Satoru suddenly beca interested and said with a grin:
"Of course, Grandpa, you can absolutely enroll. But before enrolling, every student must go through a small test. Most of the ti, I'm the one who conducts it.
All you have to do is spar with for a while and avoid losing. If you manage that, you'll earn your spot!"
Alex imdiately guessed what Gojo was planning—clearly, he wanted to test Alex's current strength.
After all, in Gojo's understanding, Alex, who possessed the Six Eyes and wielded the Limitless Cursed Technique, already had the combat power of a Special Grade Sorcerer. Not only that, Alex likely stood at the pinnacle of Special Grade power.
Beyond testing his strength, Alex suspected Gojo might also be looking for an exhilarating battle. After all, Gojo had been undefeated for so long that he must have felt lonely.
Principal Yaga didn't stop Gojo's impulsive decision, as he was just as curious about Alex's power.
A confrontation between an unprecedented variant Six Eyes and the traditional Six Eyes—who would erge victorious?
The prospect was too intriguing for Yaga to resist.
Even so, Yaga already had a prediction in his mind. After all, even if they both had the Six Eyes, Gojo Satoru was the strongest.
The Six Eyes were rely a tool for him—not the reason behind his unmatched strength.
Thus, Gojo was the likely victor.
Another factor influencing Yaga's judgnt was Alex's apparent youth.
Compared to Gojo's twenty-eight years, Alex lacked several years of growth.
For a genius, a few years could make an astronomical difference in power and experience.
The trio weren't ones to hesitate. After making their decision, they left the principal's office and headed to a wide-open area outside.
Along the way, they passed other mbers of the Tokyo tropolitan Jujutsu Technical School: Nanami Kento, Ieiri Shoko, and the second-year students.
When these individuals saw Alex, who had a similar Six Eyes, about to spar with Gojo, they imdiately dropped what they were doing. They couldn't wait to witness this unprecedented clash between two Six Eyes users.
The second-year Panda was especially excited. Clenching his fists, he anxiously watched the two figures in the distance and turned to Zenin Maki to ask: "Maki, who do you think will win?"
Maki didn't hesitate, answering directly: "It's obvious. Of course, it's Gojo-sensei. He's the strongest of our era. Even if he's unreliable."
Inumaki Toge nodded in agreent. "Bonito flakes."

In the arena, Gojo began stretching and warming up for the fight, while Alex remained standing with his hands in his pockets, exuding an air of indifference.
This annoyed Gojo.
"Six... Six Grandpa, co on now. Don't underestimate . At the very least, I'm the strongest in our era."
Alex, wearing an earnest expression, replied: "Of course not! Don't be fooled by how I look right now—this is all just a façade. In reality, I'm already on high alert and fully prepared."
Gojo's forehead twitched with frustration. From his perspective, Alex's entire stance was full of openings. There was no way this was what "fully prepared" looked like.
But fine. Once he launched an attack and Alex took a heavy hit, the latter would surely stop slacking off.
Lowering his stance, Gojo said in a serious tone: "Six Grandpa, get ready."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Gojo vanished from his original position, reappearing instantly in front of Alex and aiming a powerful punch at his abdon.
What Gojo Satoru hadn't anticipated was that his attacks, much like Sukuna's during a prior fight, always seed like they were about to land on Alex but never managed to touch him.
This imdiately reminded Gojo of what Alex had said earlier—his physical abilities were comparable to Heavenly Restriction.
At first, Gojo hadn't taken those words seriously, but now he fully grasped their significance.
This wasn't just on par with Heavenly Restriction; Alex's physical prowess was likely on the sa level as Toji Fushiguro himself!
The onlookers also noticed this phenonon and couldn't help but marvel at it.
Zenin Maki, in particular, had stars in her eyes as she stared intently at Alex's ethereal, smoke-like evasion movents.
Even against Gojo, Alex precisely minimized his dodging range while completely avoiding all of Gojo's attacks.
Wasn't this the state of mastery she had always dread of achieving?
The others were equally engrossed in the fight. None of them had expected Alex's mastery of hand-to-hand combat to be so formidable—entirely superior to Gojo's own.
Principal Yaga, pushing back his slightly slipping sunglasses, chuckled and comnted: "Looks like another extraordinary one has arrived."
Suddenly, Panda, the artificial lifeform with the keenest hearing, hesitated before asking uncertainly:
"Did I mishear sothing? Why did I just hear Gojo-sensei call that guy his Six Grandpa?"
Inumaki Toge nodded firmly: "Tuna!"
Shoko chid in, "No, I heard it too. I thought I was imagining things."
At this, Yaga adjusted his sunglasses and cleared things up for the group:
"You didn't mishear. Alex is, indeed, Gojo Satoru's Six Grandpa."
Everyone: "Huh?!"
Yaga then recounted the backstory Alex had fabricated, explaining his "past" to the stunned crowd.
---
Realizing his martial arts couldn't match Alex's, Gojo quickly shifted gears, deciding to attack using Cursed Techniques.
Extending his hand toward Alex, he shouted: "Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!"
However, Alex responded imdiately in kind: "Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue"
The two identical sapphire-colored singularities collided and canceled each other out.
Though they appeared evenly matched, Gojo's expression grew heavier.
He had struck first, yet their techniques completely neutralized each other. This ant Alex had precisely calculated the power of Gojo's Blue and, in an instant, adjusted his own Cursed Energy to unleash a technique of equal force.
As the battle continued, Gojo began to feel an imnse pressure. No matter how he tested Alex, he couldn't find his limits.
Now, he finally understood why Sukuna had been so enraged after fighting Alex.
For a powerhouse like Sukuna, nothing was more infuriating than being toyed with like this.
After yet another clash, Gojo pulled back. The smile that had graced his face was gone, replaced by a serious expression.
"Six Grandpa, be careful. I'm not going to hold back anymore," Gojo warned as he began the preparatory movents for Cursed Technique Reversal: Red.
Then, he noticed Alex mimicking the exact sa actions.
It was an outright provocation. By now, Gojo fully understood Alex's intentions: he wanted to defeat him using the very sa techniques!
Rather than making him angry, this only made Gojo's grin return, wider than ever.
After being undefeated for so long, he was finally starting to feel the joy of a real battle!
Black red singularities blood simultaneously at the fingertips of Alex and Gojo Satoru. As their energy surged, the singularities expanded before finally colliding under Alex's precise control.
Boom!
The deafening roar of the collision sent shockwaves rippling outward from the impact point, forcing Yaga and the other spectators to retreat further to avoid being caught in the devastating aftermath.
When the smoke and debris cleared, everyone's eyes fell upon the battlefield. A massive crater, several dozen ters wide, now scarred the earth between the two combatants. Hovering above the destruction, Alex and Gojo continued their battle, the intensity undiminished.
However, unlike the initial exchanges, Gojo was now fully imrsed in the fight, frequently deploying Cursed Technique Reversal: Red and Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue. It was evident that he was no longer holding back.
Yet, even with all his strength unleashed, Gojo still couldn't land a single hit on Alex.
Minutes passed, the fight still deadlocked. Gojo hovered in the air, his breaths coming in ragged gasps. The relentless use of cursed energy and his all-out attacks had drained him significantly, leaving him unable to maintain this pace for much longer.
During these few minutes, Gojo experienced sothing he hadn't in years—a sense of defeat.
Since childhood, he had been a prodigy, a divine figure who shattered the balance of the jujutsu world. Even as a student, he had already ascended to the title of the Strongest.
But now, he was faced with the stark realization that if he didn't use his ultimate techniques, he might not be Alex's equal.
What made this even more humbling was the absurdity of their circumstances—despite being his Six Grandpa, Alex's actual age was eight years younger than Gojo due to being sealed in ice for decades.
Gojo ceased his attacks, a trace of resignation in his tone as he said:
"Has the mutated Six Eyes truly beco this powerful? Not only is your physical strength unrivaled, but even the original abilities of the Limitless are far superior to mine."
Alex landed gracefully, his appearance untouched by the long battle. His clothes remained spotless, unmarked by the dust or damage of combat.
Hearing Gojo's lant, Alex shook his head, his expression stern as he offered so "guidance":
"Youngster, you're still too inexperienced. In this world, the Six Eyes and jujutsu techniques are rely tools. True strength lies in sothing far greater—an indomitable will and unparalleled mastery over oneself. Only dominion over all can reign supre."
"Dominion over all?" Gojo frowned, confusion evident in his expression. He had never heard of such a concept before.
Alex coughed awkwardly, realizing he had slipped into another narrative:
"Uh, my bad, wrong reference. What I ant to say is that jujutsu is rely supplentary. True power cos from the individual.
"Take Sukuna, the King of Curses, as an example. His jujutsu techniques were originally nothing more than basic slashing attacks. Yet, in that chaotic era of curses, he rose to beco the most dominant force of his ti."
Gojo didn't seem convinced. Shaking his head, he argued:
"No, while personal strength is crucial, jujutsu is equally important.
"Take us, for instance. With just the Six Eyes and Limitless Cursed Technique, we start where others end. These tools alone make it easy to ascend to the level of a Special Grade Sorcerer.
"Even if Sukuna's raw power were unmatched, there's no way he could develop his abilities enough to overco the infinite defense of the Limitless."
As the battle raged on, the spectators grew silent.
Gojo's declaration about the dominance of jujutsu techniques and their integral role in the jujutsu world weighed heavily on everyone. His words were undeniable truths.
The importance of bloodlines and innate techniques had shaped the very foundation of the jujutsu world.
Among those watching, Maki Zen'in gripped her weapon tightly. More than anyone, she understood the bitter reality Gojo described.
Due to Heavenly Restriction, her body had been blessed with imnse physical strength but cursed with almost no cursed energy. Her inability to wield jujutsu techniques had led to her rejection by the Zen'in clan, a pain she could never forget.
The silence was finally broken by Alex's calm voice: "No, Satoru, you're wrong.
"My strength isn't defined by the Six Eyes or the Limitless Technique alone. I've worked relentlessly, pushing the boundaries of what jujutsu can achieve. That's how I've reached my current power in such a short ti."
His tone grew more confident.
"Let's do this. You can freely use any technique you want, while I won't use any of the Gojo clan's techniques—not the Limitless, nor Cursed Technique Reversal: Red, nor Cursed Technique Amplification: Blue, nor even Hollow Technique: Purple.
"I'll only use techniques I developed myself. If I win, then it proves my point—that personal strength and hard work surpass innate power."
Gojo was intrigued but didn't hesitate. He couldn't imagine losing to Alex under such constraints.
"Alright, I accept. Let's see what you've got!"
With that, he raised two fingers and declared: "Domain Expansion—Unlimited Void!"
A wave of imnse cursed energy surged outward, instantly expanding to encompass a 100-ter radius. The infinite flow of information from the Unlimited Void sought to overwhelm Alex, dragging him into its trap.
But Alex simply stood there, motionless. Without lifting a finger, he rendered Gojo's domain powerless.
Gojo stared in disbelief. He had expected Alex to counter his domain with his own, but Alex did absolutely nothing. The Unlimited Void couldn't even affect him.
"How... is this possible?" Gojo muttered, trying to make sense of what just happened.
Based on his knowledge, the only explanation was that Alex had used a Simple Domain, a technique designed to nullify the automatic hit effect of a domain. Yet Alex's thod didn't rely block the effects; it completely neutralized the Unlimited Void. Even the flow of information—its core feature—was suppressed.
"Is this... sothing beyond a Simple Domain?"
Shaking off his shock, Gojo sighed.
"It seems I have no choice but to use that."
Taking a deep breath, he prepared himself. "Six Grandpa, you know how terrifying this technique is. Be careful. Don't die!"
He raised his hand and unleashed his most devastating attack:
"Hollow Technique: Purple!"
By combining Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue and Cursed Technique Reversal: Red at full power, Gojo summoned a massive, swirling purple sphere. It radiated destruction, capable of obliterating space itself.
Gojo launched the sphere with a flick of his finger. It hurtled toward Alex at supersonic speed, a force that no one could withstand head-on.
"Grandpa, dodge it! That's Purple! It'll destroy everything!" Gojo shouted, genuine concern in his voice.
But Alex didn't move. He stood calmly, watching as the deadly sphere approached.
In the monts before impact, Alex raised his hand. A gleaming purple longsword materialized in his grip.
With a single swing of the blade, Alex sliced the unstoppable sphere cleanly in half.
The two halves veered off course, their residual energy carving through the landscape, leaving a path of destruction in their wake.
The remaining sword energy from Alex's slash shot past Gojo, tearing through the space behind him and obliterating everything in its path.
Gojo froze, stunned by what had just happened. The indestructible Hollow Technique: Purple had been neutralized so effortlessly.
Before he could react, he felt a sharp chill at the back of his neck. A thin line of blood trickled down his skin as Alex's voice, laced with mockery, echoed behind him: "See, Satoru? I told you. True strength doesn't co from cursed techniques or even the Six Eyes.
"It's all about personal mastery. Strength of self. That's what truly reigns supre!"
Gojo clenched his fists, half in awe, half in frustration, as Alex's laughter filled the battlefield.
