"I'm very surprised you noticed me..."
The moment the huge silhouette stepped into the light and revealed his appearance, Hiroyuki immediately recognized who it was. Actually, before the figure even reveals itself, he already has an idea who it might be.
He doesn't even need to ask a single thing to find that out.
Well, at this point, thanks to Senjumaru's highly questionable intel, Hiroyuki is already pretty knowledgeable about the World and its inner workings, especially the note-worthy figures he needed to be aware of.
One of those figures is the exact person that stood in front of him.
Toji Zenin, or commonly known within the Jujutsu Society as, the Sorcerer Killer.
A guy who possesses a Heavenly Restriction that gave him an absurdly strong Physical Body in exchange for not having a single drop of Curse Energy.
But that's not all of it... because thanks to him possessing no CE, he is also practically undetectable for every Jujutsu Sorcerer, making him the ultimate assassin and one of the most dangerous people in the world right now.
Or at least, that's how it should've been.
Cause Toji, while stalking the Gojo Brothers earlier, mid-way, saw how the bearer of Six Eyes got a hint of his presence while just playing around. Although he was not seen cause he immediately backed off, the fact that he was detected is still a big issue.
But that's not even the most surprising fact for Toji. Cause, literally just upon his arrival, he quickly felt the immediate change in the Eldest one's aura. He noticed how all his muscles tensed up, the shift in breathing pattern, and even the subtle change in stance.
Clearly hinting that he was aware of his presence all along.
But given that fact, the Gojo Brothers continued what they were doing and the Eldest one acted as if he did not notice anything at all.
It's an invitation for him, he obviously realized what's happening.
If a Normal sorcerer were to feel his presence in this situation, if they could that is, then they would've run immediately for sure... but a brat who did not even reach his adulthood yet was acting like this towards him?
Toji was extremely amused by this, this is his very reaction, and that's why he decided to stick around till the end.
"... I mean, I could understand the Six Eyes noticing me, but how did you?" Toji said while giving Hiroyuki a scrutinizing look, clearly trying to find out and understand more about him.
Hiroyuki on the other hand, seems to not care about him and looks very nonchalantly.
Or at least, that's how he's making it look to be. Because Toji, who has an ability that allows him to see even the slightest shift in the air movements, is aware that the kid in front of him, doesn't show any openings at all.
In some sense, he could even say that the vibe around him is just like his for real. One could say that he's from a Zenin rather than Gojo's and he would most likely believe it.
It's to that extent.
"Well, it's simple really. Using my Curse Energy, I can increase my senses. Thanks to that, I managed to hear you while my brother and I were playing."
"... I see, increase in senses huh? Is that your Curse Technique?"
Hearing Toji shamelessly throw another question at him again, Hiroyuki lightly sneered.
"Isn't it my turn to ask questions now? It's give and take you know?"
"Huh? Is that what we're doing here?"
