Her emotions were so shocked that they affected her actions. Her body, stagnant and about to be attacked, suddenly took over. Although she still had the ability to control herself, she was completely unable to command her body, like a human trapped in a puppet.

Swift movements, quick counterattacks, and this overwhelming surge of cursed energy—

"Hippo, you are peeking."

Gojo Satoru came over with a playful grin, not minding that his little plan was exposed.

"Although you always talk nonsense, teacher, but—" The voice that came out switched to the original owner of the body. "You are right."

"It's really a piece of cake."

Hipper shook his hands and brushed off the dust on his body.

"How's it going, Glass, is my body still working well?"

“…”

She guessed correctly, the stupid students are all stupid, the perverted students are all perverted, and the scumbag attribute is also inherited.

"Human! Who are you looking down on?!"

"Fireworm!"

The special-grade cursed spirit looked like it was going mad.

"Watch out, Nitro. This is how I use my body!"

It rushed towards danger like an arrow, lightning gushed out from its body, and intercepted the flying insects with a ferocious roar.

The cursed power collided, and the girl walked out of the flames laughing, opened her arms, took a deep breath, and smelled the scent of the burning flames, enjoying it very much.

"Flame, what a familiar smell."

"I want to see rivers of blood."

No more pretending, pretending to be a good person, pretending to be weak, pretending to be righteous in her own universe. Pretending for too long will make people become weird, she needs to vent, after all, it's not her own world, playing around a little is okay, there is Gojo Satoru watching.

The teacher had more or less guessed what her true nature was, but she was still at ease showing her true colors.

"The blood of a cursed spirit still counts as blood, so let's start with you."

Thunder roared through the sky, and the collision of magma and lightning expanded the scope of the explosion. A battle scene of this scale would attract attention even if a tent was not set up.

"Born from darkness, from darkness to darkness, all filth and impurities are purged."

The tent that enveloped the forest covered everyone.

"It was fun."

Only Gojo Satoru could say such inappropriate words while watching the battle in front of him.

This time, I wasn't just watching her fight from memory. Besides beating my 15-year-old self, this was the only time I'd let loose so seriously.

Great progress, totally teasing the curse spirit.

It's almost time to use the domain, right? Perfect opportunity, bring Yuhito over for some on-site instruction. Theoretical knowledge is just talk; it's faster to learn in combat.

Hipper hasn't learned the domain yet, right? Then I'll teach him along the way.

Alas, I am such a hard-working teacher.

"Hippo! Show mercy."

Gojo Satoru landed next to Hipper carrying Yuji Itadori and stopped her from beating the cursed spirit in time.

"Hey! Hipper."

"His Highness, is the training going well?" She smiled as she wiped the blood and filth of the cursed spirit that had splattered on her face. There was no trace of the cruelty that had just tortured the cursed spirit.

"It went very smoothly. Are you...exorcising the cursed spirit?"

He tilted his head to look at the shapeless cursed spirit, with a sigh in his voice.

"Yeah, it's hard work."

He started talking nonsense the moment he opened his eyes, just like Gojo Satoru. Trapped in his body and unable to speak, Ieiri Shoko could only complain in her mind.

"The domain is expanded - the coffin is surrounded by iron mountains!"

Yuji Itadori felt his whole body sending out warnings.

The two people next to him were still talking in a casual and joking tone.

"A cursed spirit that knows the domain is quite useful."

"Come on, Hipper. The domain won't be difficult for you."

They are completely not in the same league, whether it is Gojo Sensei or Hipper.

The sky was covered, trapping the three people inside.

"The field created by casting a spell consumes a lot of cursed energy." Gojo Satoru was explaining this to Yuji Itadori.

"As for Hipper, there's no problem. Your cursed energy is more than enough to open the field."

"First."

The reliable teacher raised a finger.

"Opening the field will greatly improve your status."

"Hang a buff?" Yuji Itadori suddenly had an epiphany.

"Yes, that's right, Yuhito is really smart." Hipper nodded, not stingy with her praise.

"second."

Gojo Satoru gently pushed aside the rocks and continued teaching.

"Attacks within the area are guaranteed to hit the target."

"Just like just now, Hisahito," Hipper added. "If it were anyone other than Gojo-sensei, that blow would have killed them all."

“So strong!”

"Haha, Yuji can be this powerful." Hipper poked his face and avoided the mark under his eyes.

"The best way to counter a domain is to deploy one ourselves." Gojo Satoru took off his blindfold, his tone relaxed and content.

"The one with the better technique will gain the upper hand."

"It's just the big fish eating the small fish, understand, Hisahito?"

"Yeah, I understand."

“…”

He sighed.

"Come on, both of you, be serious. Don't whisper while the teacher is teaching."

Both of them fell silent and looked at him.

"Don't even think about leaving your ashes behind, Gojo Satoru!"

Hipper gave an inappropriate smile.

"How could anyone else be able to kill Gojo Satoru?"

She looked up at the cursed spirit with an expression of pity.

"sad."

Gojo Satoru glanced at her and gestured.

"The realm unfolds—infinite space."

He held Yuujin in his arms and was about to reach out to pull Hipper into the unlimited range when he was slapped away.

"Oh……"

Then let her be.

The field was expanded for just a few seconds, and the special-grade cursed spirit was completely defeated, with only its head being stepped on.

"Hippo..."

Yuji saw Hipper standing in front of him with her eyes closed, blood flowing from her eyes, nose, mouth and ears, but a satisfied smile on her face.

"Not even close."

He actually managed to come out alive from Gojo Satoru's territory!

What secrets does this person have?

"Teacher, I'm leaving now. See you at the exchange meeting."

Hipper licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and disconnected from the simulated universe with joy.

When Naoko Ieiri returned to her body, she saw that all the doors of the morgue were open and the bodies were missing.

“…”

What was she going to do with the bodies?

*

I woke up from my bed, feeling distressed at the blood-soaked sheets and quilt. I gathered the blood and threw it into the trash bag, then went into the bathroom to wash it off my face.

Hiss, it hurts so much.

But no matter how many times she experiences it, she will never get tired of the surprises that the infinite space brings her.

This familiar feeling of information constantly flowing through my brain is so intimate. Even if my body can't bear it and my brain is broken, I will still be addicted to it.

Just as alcoholics can't quit drinking, smokers can't quit nicotine, she can't resist data. Whether it's data obtained through surveillance or data actively provided by others, she has to grasp both.

After all, data is the source of her power. How could she refuse the gathering of power?

Speaking of the field, Teacher Gojo was wrong. She mastered it from the very beginning.

Isn't the simulated universe her domain? Just as people put on outer garments to conceal their bodies, a secret needs another secret to conceal it. The simulated universe is where the greatest secrets are hidden.

The world has an inside and an outside, and so does the simulated universe.

"Oh my god."

The girl wiped the water off her face, touched the mirror, and placed her forehead against it with a smile.

"The most perfect work, after all, who else could it be but me?"

The world began to distort, darkness spread out, stars rose and fell, the sun and moon rotated endlessly. The girl hovered before the huge steel celestial body that blocked out the sky, as small as a speck of dust.

The huge scarlet mechanical eye stared at her, slowly turning, and the blue eye turned towards her, data surging in it, and she saw more.

“Ultimately, the field is what a person is.”

Will Gojo-sensei guess that her field is herself?

In the brilliant Milky Way, only the celestial bodies are silent. Hidden under the simulated universe is the universe itself.

Hipper is it, it is Hipper, no distinction between you and me.

"Domain expansion—simulated universe. I've been wanting to say this for a while now. It's so cool to just say the name of a big move!"
