Satoru led the way, his students following closely, their figures silhouetted against the moonlit sky. Y/N's determination was palpable, her eyes burning with a fierce intensity, while Itadori's eagerness was infectious, his excitement radiating like a beacon. As they descended onto the lake's surface, Satoru exerted his domain, his cursed energy rippling outward, allowing them to stand on the water as if it were solid ground.

"It's my doing," Satoru said with a smile, noticing Itadori's confusion. His eyes sparkled with amusement, and his voice was low and soothing. Y/N watched intently, Kokoro by her side, the wolf's ears perked up, sensing the subtle shift in Satoru's energy.

Itadori took a cautious step forward, his eyes scanning the lake's surface, wonder etched on his face. Then, he gasped, his voice filled with awe. "Look!" he exclaimed, pointing ahead. Satoru's gaze followed his, and he chuckled, his shoulders relaxing.

The sound was low and throaty, a deep rumble that seemed to vibrate through the air. Y/N's eyes narrowed, her interest piqued, as she followed Itadori's gaze. Kokoro, sensing her tension, let out a soft whine, her eyes fixed in the distance.

The lake's surface began to ripple, waves forming and dissipating in a mesmerizing pattern. The water seemed to shimmer as if infused with an otherworldly energy. Itadori's eyes widened, his breath catching in his throat.

"What is this, Sensei?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Satoru's smile grew, his eyes glinting with anticipation.

"Your next lesson, Itadori," he said, his voice low and mysterious. "Here, you'll learn to harness your cursed energy, to wield it with precision." Y/N's gaze locked onto Satoru, her eyes burning with intensity.

Satoru stood tall, his eyes gleaming with excitement, as a Special Grade Curse user materialized before them. A volcano erupted from the curse user's head, its molten lava flowing like liquid fire. The air was charged with tension, the very atmosphere electric with anticipation.

"Today, you'll learn how to fight like me," Satoru announced, his voice low and confident. Itadori's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the curse user, his mind racing with the implications. "You brought us here just to show off, Sensei!" he exclaimed, his voice laced with awe.

Satoru grinned, his smile flashing like lightning. "Call it a lesson. Watch closely." With a swift motion, he unleashed a wave of energy, countering the curse user's attack. The movement was fluid, almost imperceptible, yet its impact was palpable.

Y/N and Itadori watched intently, their eyes locked onto the battle unfolding before them. Kokoro growled softly, her ears perked up, sensing the surge of cursed energy.

"Now it's your turn," Satoru said, his voice calm, yet commanding. Just then, Jogo, the Special Grade Curse user, attacked Satoru with a massive rock. The movement was swift, the rock hurtling through the air with deadly precision.

Satoru effortlessly broke the rock, his hand slicing through it like a hot knife through butter. He remained unfazed, his eyes never leaving Jogo. "Infinity, or Mugen, is the base state of the Limitless," he explained to Yuji, his voice steady.

"It's essentially the power to stop," he continued, his words dripping with emphasis. Yuji's eyes widened, intrigued, as he struggled to comprehend the complex concept.

"The Limitless technique operates like convergent and divergent sequences in mathematics," Satoru elaborated, his voice weaving a spell of fascination. "Infinity is the convergence of an immeasurable series. Anything approaching the infinity slows down and never reaches the user."

Y/N nodded, grasping the concept, her eyes shining with understanding. Itadori's gaze remained fixed on Satoru, his mind reeling with the implications.

"This is because the technique divides the finite space between two subjects an infinite number of times," Satoru concluded, his words hanging in the air like a challenge.
