The last day arrived, and I was at the students' training ground. Maki and Panda wanted to be trained by me. I had tied my hair into a ponytail and was wearing a sports jacket with sport shorts and sports leggings underneath.

 I applied a layer of ice to Maki's and Panda's skin so they wouldn't faint from the heat on the grounds. I stretched in front of them, and they followed suit. With my fingertips touching my toes, I straightened up and stretched my hips and back. Panda had trouble with stretching his back.

 "I can't do it anymore, Miura-sensei!" 

I laughed, "Come on, Panda, is that all you've got?"

 Maki looked at him amusedly, "That's typical of pandas; they're lazy."

 He sighed but got back into it immediately.

 We continued for another minute or two, and then I clapped my hands, "Okay, that's enough for warm-up." 

They stood up. Without warning and without hesitation, I attacked them directly. I started with Maki because she specialized more in physical strength. Within milliseconds, I was in front of her, kicking her legs, and she lost her balance. There was no reaction time for Panda because I didn't allow it either. I saw his mouth hanging open due to the sudden attack on Maki and attacked him, too, by tossing him away with a side kick, and he landed on the grass. 

I stood there with my arms crossed in front of my chest, "Seriously, guys? The enemy won't give you notice when they attack you."

 Maki sat down on the grass and sighed, "You're fast, Miura-sensei."

 I smiled at her, "That's normal because I'm stronger than you right now, but that doesn't mean you can slack off."

 Gojo came down the training stairs and clapped his hands, "Huh, Miura, you're teaching again after a long time." 

I turned to him and looked at him dumbfounded. He was the reason I couldn't sleep last night because of the last comment he made; I felt so awkward. Even if I asked him about it, he wouldn't give me an answer for some reason. 

Yuji and Nobara came from behind and waved, "Miura-sensei, Panda, and Maki-san!"

 They came over to us, and I hugged Yuji and Nobara directly.

 I ruffled their hair and smiled at them, "Are you participating in the competition too?"

 My heart felt a pang as if it were about to break at the thought of Megumi being dead again. I was really trying to control my emotions. 

Yuji made a fist with one hand and looked at it, "For Fushiguro." 

Nobara smiled at me, "After all, we can't disappoint him, right?"

 Tears were about to come to my eyes, but I suppressed them because I didn't want to ruin the mood. 

Gojo put his arms around them and pulled them towards him, saying happily, "Megumi would be proud of you." 

They looked at me confidently. 

I looked at Gojo, "Are you going to train them?" 

He straightened up, "Actually, I wanted to have a little fight with both you so they can see the clear difference in strength, if that's okay with you." 

I looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Just like back when we were 18?" 

He nodded happily. 

I sighed, "Okay, agreed. How long?" 

He grinned even wider, "5 minutes." 

I looked at him incredulously, and the others said in shock in unison, "5 minutes?!"

 He nodded. 

I scoffed, "I hate it when you don't take me seriously."

 He looked at me puzzled, "Why do you think I don't take you seriously?" 

"These 5 minutes say a lot."

 He shook his head, "No, these 5 minutes are just so I don't waste too much time on us, but they should focus on training."

 I looked at him surprised.

 I always thought he didn't take me seriously, or did I just perceive it differently? Something inside me was happy that he acknowledged me.

I laughed briefly and ran my hand through my hair at my own absurdity. I sighed and got into a fighting stance, my left leg back, my right leg forward, and my hands clenched into fists in front of me. He looked surprised but then smiled slightly and also got into a fighting stance.

 He addressed the students without taking his eyes off me, "So, students, watch now what can happen within 5 minutes." 

Of course, I knew he was much stronger than me, but it didn't bother me. I noticed the excited looks on the students' faces. He attacked, and I became nervous. A drop of sweat rolled down my back. Our arms clashed together, just like back when we were 18 years old in the training room. His grin widened. I swung from below, but of course, he teleported away. Naturally, he was behind me, putting his back against mine. Suddenly, he took my left arm and forcefully turned me towards him. It became windy.

 I looked at him grinning, "Seriously?" 

I freed my arm and swung back, but kept my upper body down, letting my fingertips glide over the ground, freezing it. "And now you must always have a few secret tricks up your sleeve to surprise the enemy!"

 I created it immediately. 

"Devil's Star!" 

An ice star formed under Gojo's feet, and he grinned, "And, of course, you must also anticipate the next moves of your enemies." 

My Devil's Star is an ice curse that freezes the opponent's joints and usually causes excruciating pain. This technique is only known to a few in the Sumiko family and is very powerful. I looked at him surprised. 

How did he know about it? 

He destroyed the Devil's Star, and my eyes widened. 

"Why do you look so surprised, Miura?"

 Within seconds, he was in front of me, reaching for me. I quickly leaned my upper body back and kicked him away, leaving ice residue on his arm. 

I stood up straight and was about to punch from the right, but he blocked it, took my hand, pulled me towards him, and whispered quickly in my ear, "Is that all?"

 I hissed and let ice burst from my skin. He had to activate his Infinity and blocked it. 

Maki called out surprised, "The 5 minutes are up." 

I sighed and relaxed, stepping back.

 He clapped his hands, "A draw."

 I rolled my eyes, "What do you expect with only 5 minutes?" 

Nobara's eyes sparkled, "Miura-sensei, you're really cool."

 I grinned broadly at her.
