Jujutsu Kaisen: The Traveler

Chapter 21

AN: I'm back.

_____________________________________________________________

Suddenly, the space around Satoru distorted and the moment Hiroyuki made contact with that very distorted space, his fist came to a pause. It's as if his hand was blocked by some sort of barrier.

"Hmm?"

But, unlike any barrier he had seen so far, no matter how much force he put in his fist, it wouldn't budge even an inch toward Satoru. Hiroyuki also noticed that he did not feel any contact at all. His fist was just weirdly stopped there as if some kind of natural law decided that nothing was allowed anymore past that point.

"... Interesting."

Seeing his Brother looking distracted by his own thoughts, Satoru immediately took it as an opportunity to strike back. Without hesitation at all, he quickly infused both his hands with 'BLUE' and in one swift move, threw a sneaky punch backward.

*swoosh!*

But, even though Hiroyuki was looking very deep in thought, he still saw what his younger brother was trying to do, easily. That's why, before Satoru's fist could even reach him, he already disappeared in his initial spot and was already standing far away.

"So that's Infinity huh?" Hiroyuki said with a curious smile as he observed the distortion that was revolving around Satoru once more.

By now, it is pretty apparent that Hiroyuki has a tendency to deeply analyze every new technique or move he comes across, probably a habit he developed during his previous life.

In any case, this is the main reason why he can't help but be distracted a little bit, given that this is the first time he has seen Satoru use such a move throughout all their sparring sessions.

"It is. I just learned it a couple of days ago. What do you think? Awesome right?" Satoru said as a wide smile crept up on his face, feeling very ecstatic that he finally managed to make something work against his brother.

However, as happy as he looks right now, one can surely see that there are still some beads of sweat at the corner of his face, rolling down. Proof of the remaining nervousness that dawned on him a moment ago.

Because initially, even though he confidently left his back wide open and trusted Infinity to block Hiroyuki's attack, he was greatly worried that even Infinity might not work against his brother as well. He was beaten by him so much at this point that he can't help but have such thoughts.

But seeing that he actually managed to successfully block his brother's 'fist of love', FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, he can finally sigh in relief.

"Yeah. I'm pretty impressed, not gonna lie."

Hiroyuki, being a member of the Gojo Clan, is obviously knowledgeable about the Limitless technique. And because of that, one glance is already enough for him to know that the technique that Satoru had just used is the infamous 'Infinity' which is described to be the Ultimate Defence.

He also knows that to use it, one has to have a tremendous amount of focus and mental strength. Even the experts in the Clan who possess Limitless can only keep Infinity activated for a couple of seconds. Meanwhile, his little brother, apart from the fact that he learned such a move at such a young age, is keeping it all up with little to no effort.

Of course, Six Eyes played a massive role in achieving such a feat, that's for sure, but an achievement is still an achievement, regardless of his gifts. That's why when Hiroyuki said he was impressed, he was genuine about it.

"No wonder you thought that you'd finally win against me. Can't say I can blame you for having such a foolish thought."

"Huh?"
