"So, you're the one who saved me? Thank you very much."
Inside Jujutsu High, Kakashi lay on a hospital bed, thanking Schwarzer.
Kakashi's memory stopped during his battle with Hanami; when he woke up, he found himself in a hospital bed at Jujutsu High.
"[Refusal] No thanks are necessary. Any normal 'human' would not leave someone to die. This is also part of my learning."
Schwarzer replied as such, her tone mechanical and her speech punctuated by a strange verbal tic. Itadori and the others, gathered around, were extremely curious about her identity.
As per her agreement with Obito, she took credit for saving Kakashi and brought him to Jujutsu High—after saving Hanami, of course.
Kakashi claimed to be a friend of Gojo Satoru's, with their phone communications as proof, so he was brought in for treatment along with the others.
But where was Gojo Satoru? As Kakashi, the last to arrive, also finished his treatment, Itadori and the others began to wonder.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting. I'm back."
"How are everyone's injuries? With Shoko here, you should all be pretty much healed, right?"
Speak of the devil. Just as they were thinking this, Gojo Satoru suddenly appeared behind Itadori, startling him.
"I was just taking care of a small matter. Got a little held up."
It was not a small matter. Gojo Satoru subconsciously glanced at his right hand. The unique perspective of his Six Eyes could see the so-called sage art energy hidden within his body.
He couldn't see through it at all. He had never seen anything like it. It was a power that had never appeared in the Jujutsu world before, not even Cursed Energy.
That person calling themself Hanami had given him this power on their own accord, told him that the Jujutsu world would soon undergo a great change, and then left.
I really hate these riddle-speakers. Can't you just tell me directly what's going to happen?
For the first time in a long while, Gojo Satoru felt a 'challenge'. The fighting spirit he had lost due to being the strongest had unknowingly been rekindled. He wanted to see just what this so-called great change was.
Seeing Gojo Satoru spacing out inexplicably, Kakashi recalled his previous battle with Hanami and how he had made over a dozen unanswered phone calls.
It would be impossible to say he wasn't a little resentful, but he was the one who had initiated the fight.
He also never expected a technique like Domain Expansion. His opponent had used themself as bait, luring out his real body at the cost of grievous injury...
In the ninja world, he had never seen a being with such terrifying regenerative abilities. It completely exceeded his understanding. Is this another world?
Fortunately, after waking up, he learned from Itadori and the others that Gojo Satoru had already taken care of that Cursed Spirit, and it was a complete curb-stomp.
Kakashi himself had struggled for a long time only to be defeated, yet his opponent was eliminated in an instant at Gojo Satoru's hands. This gave him a very direct understanding of the man's strength.
Have I latched onto a powerful ally now?
"As promised, I've brought these two to Jujutsu High."
"How do you plan to arrange for them?"
Kakashi sat up from the hospital bed and went to stand before Gojo Satoru.
They had already communicated via phone the previous night. Gojo Satoru was very interested in the 'Chakra' he wielded, and he, in turn, was interested in the Cursed Technique system.
So, the two hit it off immediately and decided to 'teach' each other.
"Ah, in that case, how about we combine them into one class?"
"It just so happens I have three students. Let's put the five of them together, and the two of us can teach them."
Naruto and Sasuke were the pupils he had brought, while Gojo Satoru provided Itadori, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki—all without their knowledge, of course.
"Huh? What's going on? What are you guys talking about?"
Having confirmed that Kakashi and Gojo Satoru knew each other, Itadori and the others were observing, curious to see what they were discussing.
They were even whispering and teasing about the two's appearances—both had short white hair, one wore a mask and the other a blindfold, as if they complemented each other.
But before they could laugh much, they heard Gojo Satoru's words. The so-called three students obviously referred to them!
"What are you so surprised about? I'm just adding a few classes for you."
"This Teacher Kakashi has a unique Cursed Technique. If you can learn it, it'll be a significant improvement for you."
Oh, so we're learning a Cursed Technique? Hearing this, Itadori subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Jujutsu High was, after all, a school for the Jujutsu world. Their curriculum was basically all related to Cursed Technique skills meant to improve their combat strength.
From Gojo Satoru's tone, they could tell that he held Kakashi's teaching in high regard.
For even 'the strongest' to see him in a different light, what Kakashi had to teach must be extraordinary. They realized this in just a few moments.
"I just recovered from serious injuries and you're already dragging me to teach a class?"
Kakashi rolled his eyes, his face showing a complete lack of motivation.
Naruto and Sasuke knew how laid-back Kakashi was as their squad leader. Back in the village, being late was practically his daily routine.
In reality, after arriving in this other world, Kakashi had already entered a serious mode. This was just an act.
Rather than handing over the techniques of Chakra so quickly, he was more inclined to first gain a deeper understanding of the so-called Jujutsu world.
"Is that so? Then I'll teach first. I can take the chance to fill you all in on the common knowledge of the Jujutsu world."
Gojo Satoru also suddenly realized this. Kakashi and his group didn't have much knowledge of the Jujutsu world.
And... he turned his head slightly, glancing at Schwarzer, who looked completely out of place in the hospital room.
Since she was here anyway, teaching one was the same as teaching a group. Giving them a history lesson would also help them understand the Jujutsu world.
Gojo Satoru was hatching a little plan in his mind, like conveying some of 'his own agenda' during the lesson—not exactly his own agenda, but more like truthfully recounting the dirty dealings of the Jujutsu world's higher-ups.
He planned to pull Kakashi's group in to form his own faction. He had not ignored the great change Hanami mentioned.
This was not only to counter any potential surprises but also to revitalize the already decaying Jujutsu world.
"Do you want to join us?" Gojo Satoru extended an invitation to Schwarzer.
The others in the room stared at her curiously. After all, her mechanical structure-like appearance clearly showed she wasn't human. All they knew was that she had saved Kakashi from a Special Grade Cursed Spirit; they knew nothing else.
However, with the precedents of Panda the Cursed Corpse and Mechamaru, they didn't find it particularly strange.
The only thing that surprised them, though, was her age. Based on appearance alone, she looked far too young.
Hearing Gojo Satoru call her name, Schwarzer looked at him. Gojo Satoru thought he saw a stream of 0s and 1s flash across her eyes.
"[Perfunctory] No problem. I don't mind."
Schwarzer had always been indifferent. After all, the one here now was not her main body.
