In that case, let me convey an interesting message to them.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai’s lips curled up slightly.

"No need to meet any principal."

Then, he stared at Gojo Satoru and began to speak.

"The reason I’m giving you the contact information is simple. I heard you’re Curse Masters who eliminate Curse Spirits, right?"

"That’s right."

"Actually, I have a lot of free time."

Then, Duanmu Huai shifted the topic.

"After finishing the movie, I didn’t have much to do, so I wanted to find something. Eliminating those Alien remnants is a great entertainment for me."

"......Entertainment......?"

"Exactly."

Duanmu Huai stared at Gojo Satoru, as if he could see the eyes hidden behind the dark blindfold.

"It’s like playing video games, isn’t it exhilarating to defeat a Monster? Same principle, so I occasionally go around looking for them, but my efficiency alone is too low. I heard from that Miss Mikuni that you Curse Masters specialize in this, so I think it’ll bring me quite a bit of fun."

"So you mean, you want to be a Curse Master too?"

"No."

Duanmu Huai shook his head.

"I don’t want to be under your jurisdiction, to put it simply, like a mercenary......do you get it?"

"Got it."

"Then it’s simple."

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.

"There’s only one thing left to do."

"Oh?"

"Call out the strongest person here and have a fight with me."

"........."

"Don’t pretend, I know this is your goal."

Duanmu Huai sneered as he looked at Gojo Satoru in front of him.

"You want to know my Strength, right? But even if I tell you, I don’t think you’d believe me. So seeing is believing; as long as I fight the strongest in your Magic World, you should understand the difference between us."

"Interesting."

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Gojo Satoru also smiled.

"In that case, let me have a match with you."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, because I’m the strongest."

"Oh ho ————"

Facing Gojo Satoru’s confident reply, Duanmu Huai squinted his Eyes.

"Then I’ll be waiting to see."

The Tokyo High School of Magic looks like a school on the surface, but actually feels more like a temple. Duanmu Huai followed Gojo Satoru to the training ground on the back mountain. It’s quite a large and flat area, clearly a place where Curse Masters usually train and practice combat.

"Are you sure you can handle this? I actually don’t mind if a few more join in."

"No, I alone am enough."

Gojo Satoru shook his head.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll accidentally kill you?"

"Hahaha......"

Faced with Duanmu Huai’s curious question, Gojo Satoru laughed, then extended his hand.

"Come, extend your hand."

"???"

Although not knowing what the other wanted to do, Duanmu Huai curiously stretched out his hand toward Gojo Satoru’s extended hand.

"And then?"

"Hold my hand."

"I’m not an idol, I don’t sell handshake tickets."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai moved his hand forward———then, his hand stopped a few centimeters before Gojo Satoru’s palm.

"???"

Duanmu Huai curiously looked at the hand’s distance, he could feel he touched something, but actually touched nothing.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru smiled and began to explain.

"You felt it, right? What you touched is the infinity between you and me."

"Infinity?"

"Actually, it didn’t stop. It just slows down the closer it gets to me. Infinity itself is everywhere, and my spell just brings it into reality. So, any Attack that gets close to me slows down and then stops in infinity. To put it simply, I can hit you, but you can’t hit me."

"Honestly, I don’t quite understand, feels a bit like the repulsion between magnets’ north poles?"

Duanmu Huai frowned, he disliked this theoretical teaching style, and what the other said about infinity made his head hurt, like hearing some calculus formula, he instinctively got sleepy.

"By the way, is it okay to disclose it like this?"

Duanmu Huai curiously asked, as it seemed to him that revealing one’s abilities before a battle is honestly quite foolish, isn’t it?

"Hahahah, so, Xiao Ai, you indeed are not a Curse Master."

And upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, Gojo Satoru laughed.

"What do you mean?"

"It’s actually a type of binding."

"??? I don’t get it."

"Curse Masters use Curses, Cursing others, Cursing themselves."

Gojo Satoru pointed at Duanmu Huai, then at himself.

"And bindings, are among them."

"Bindings?"

"Yes, like you said, if I expose my Strength to the enemy, isn’t that bad? But on the other hand, it’s also a kind of binding for me. By revealing my hand, I can greatly enhance the effect of my Technique."

"Uh......let me think."

Duanmu Huai pressed a hand to his forehead, pondering.

"So, by exposing your cards, you put a DEBUFF on yourself, and your Technique’s effect is strengthened because of this?"

"That’s pretty much it."

"I still can’t understand. Can’t you lead the opponent on with lies and deception?"

"You can indeed use ambiguous words to mislead the opponent, but lying is pointless because a person cannot deceive themselves." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"So, all Curse Masters explain their abilities during a fight?"

"If communication is possible."

"What a strange and troublesome habit."

Duanmu Huai sighed.

"Forget it, I’m not inclined to comment on your Curse Masters’ practice, I get it now, you believe that I absolutely can’t touch you, right?"

"Yes, that’s right."

"Then it’s simple, as long as I touch you, I win?"

"Yes."

"Very well."

Duanmu Huai stepped back, looking at Gojo Satoru again. Then, he bent down and reached out to grip the sword hilt.

"Ready?"

"Of course."

Gojo Satoru smiled while watching Duanmu Huai.

"We can start."

"Then I won’t hold back."

"———————!"

As Duanmu Huai’s words fell, suddenly, a fierce killing intent descended from the sky, pressing down on the entire training ground. And the previously relaxed smiling face of Gojo Satoru now showed no sign of ease, replaced by unprecedented seriousness and gravity!

Duanmu Huai gripped the sword hilt tightly, then drew the sword.

Almost at the same instant, Gojo Satoru raised his hand abruptly.

"Domain Expansion—————!"

As if to break his words in two, the dazzling crimson sword light appeared out of nowhere at this moment.
