"Nice to meet you, Aurelius D. Virel Is."
Gojo Satoru smiled and greeted Is in return.
During his journey to this world, the system had already informed him of certain details, including the identity of the person who had summoned him.
"I believe we'll become very good friends."
Is smiled.
"Of course."
Gojo nodded casually.
"Shall we head back? I'll introduce you to the others."
Is extended the invitation.
"Besides me, there are other people from different worlds here as well?"
Gojo sounded slightly surprised.
He had originally thought he was the only one who had experienced something like this.
"Of course. They're all from various worlds too. Don't worry—everyone here is pretty easygoing. You'll get along with them just fine."
Is explained.
"Your ability has already surpassed my understanding. You're quite extraordinary, Is."
Gojo chuckled.
"My abilities may be unusual, but I'm a pretty laid-back person."
Is shrugged.
"I can tell."
Gojo nodded.
"Let's go."
"Sure."
Gojo followed behind Is as the two of them returned to Mary Geoise.
Back at the castle, everyone had already gathered in the living room and was preparing to eat breakfast.
"Is, where did you run off to so early in the morning?"
Tatsumaki crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
It was already morning, yet Is hadn't shown up for breakfast.
She had even gone looking for him in his room, only to discover he was nowhere to be found.
Since Is hadn't returned, nobody had started eating.
They had all been waiting for him.
"Sorry. I had something to take care of and ended up bringing back a new friend."
Is scratched the back of his head apologetically.
"A new friend? Where?"
Tatsumaki asked curiously.
"Hello."
Gojo stepped out from behind Is and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Hm?"
The moment Uchiha Madara saw him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"This guy isn't simple, Hashirama."
Sitting on the sofa, Madara could immediately sense the immense power hidden within Gojo.
"You're right."
Hashirama observed him carefully.
"His strength should be considerable."
"I'd like to spar with him."
Acnologia's interest was immediately piqued.
"He seems pretty strong."
Although Gojo had just arrived in this world and could only utilize twenty percent of his original power, his presence was still far from ordinary.
"His name is Gojo Satoru. From now on, he'll be one of us."
Is introduced him to the group.
Everyone in the living room took turns introducing themselves.
Since Gojo was naturally friendly and easygoing, he quickly blended in with Hashirama and the others.
"This is really fascinating."
While eating and chatting, Gojo suddenly laughed.
"I never imagined something like this would happen to me."
"I was surprised at first too."
Acnologia spoke while eating.
"But I've already adapted to life here. This world isn't any worse than my old one."
"I'm sure you'll get used to it soon."
Yoriichi, having finished his meal, picked up an apple and reclined on the sofa while taking a bite.
"This world is actually pretty enjoyable."
"I agree."
Gojo smiled.
"Especially with so many interesting people around."
He was the type of person who loved new experiences.
Faced with a situation like this, he felt no panic whatsoever.
Instead, he found it genuinely entertaining.
Being able to meet people from entirely different worlds and hear about completely different lives was an experience he found incredibly enjoyable.
"How about a sparring match, Gojo?"
Acnologia suddenly set down his chopsticks.
"You're pretty strong, aren't you?"
"Ah..."
Gojo scratched his head awkwardly.
"I'm actually very weak."
"Do you really expect me to believe that?"
Acnologia laughed.
"I honestly feel like my power has been weakened since arriving in this world. I might not even be your opponent."
Gojo rested his chin on his hand as he explained.
He could clearly feel that his overall strength had dropped significantly.
His techniques still worked normally, but the raw power behind them had noticeably diminished.
"That's normal."
Unohana Retsu calmly explained.
"When we first arrived in this world, we experienced the same thing."
The companions summoned by Is were unable to immediately wield one hundred percent of their original strength.
They needed time and combat experience before gradually recovering their full power.
"I see."
Her explanation finally answered one of Gojo's lingering questions.
"So?"
Acnologia continued pressing the issue.
"Do you want to spar? I'd really like to see your abilities."
"Oh, right."
Yoriichi suddenly remembered something.
"Acnologia, didn't Is promise you back in the North Blue that after the battle was over, he'd fight you?"
"You mentioning that just reminded me."
Acnologia immediately stood up and turned toward Is.
"Is, how about we have that match right now?"
