The courtyard had barely recovered from the last round of chaos.
Nanami stood near the edge of the yard again, already regretting that he hadn't left faster.
Gojo was still smiling like he was watching entertainment.
Yuji looked exhausted just from listening.
Hakari looked like he was enjoying a show that shouldn't exist.
Maki looked like she was preparing to end the show.
Takeru stood in the middle of it all.
Calm again.
Focused again.
Like the last few minutes had just been another training exercise.
He looked at Nanami.
Then spoke.
"…Malaysian beach?"
Silence.
Yuji blinked.
"…Wait—what?"
Hakari immediately leaned forward.
"…NO WAY he actually locked in."
Maki narrowed her eyes.
"…There's no way."
Gojo's grin widened.
"…Oh?"
Nanami didn't react immediately.
He just stared at Takeru.
For a long moment.
Long enough that even Yuji started to feel uncomfortable.
Then—
Nanami exhaled.
"…Correct."
The entire yard froze.
Yuji's jaw dropped.
"…HE GOT IT RIGHT?!"
Hakari pointed immediately.
"…HE ACTUALLY GOT IT RIGHT?!"
Maki stepped forward half a step.
"…That's not possible."
Gojo laughed out loud.
"…HAHA—Nanamin, is that true?"
Nanami didn't look away from Takeru.
"…It is accurate."
Silence hit harder this time.
Takeru nodded once.
Calm.
Almost satisfied.
"…Efficient relaxation profile confirmed."
Yuji grabbed his head.
"…WHY DID THAT WORK?!"
Hakari was laughing harder now.
"…BRO WAS JUST GUESSING AND HIT A CRITICAL!"
Maki muttered.
"…This is worse than him fighting Sukuna."
Gojo wiped a tear from his eye.
"…Nanamin, I didn't know you had a beach arc."
Nanami immediately replied.
"…I don't."
Takeru tilted his head slightly.
"…Then why is it correct?"
Nanami paused.
Just slightly.
"…Coincidence."
Hakari shouted:
"…THAT'S NOT COINCIDENCE BEHAVIOR!"
Yuji pointed at Takeru.
"…YOU CAN'T JUST ACCIDENTALLY READ PEOPLE!"
Maki sighed deeply.
"…He's going to abuse this now."
And she was right.
Because Takeru nodded slowly—
like he had just unlocked a new system.
"…Pattern recognition improved."
Nanami finally turned away.
"…This is why I avoid conversations."
Gojo leaned toward Hakari.
"…He's definitely going to start guessing everyone's life goals now."
Hakari grinned.
"…And he's gonna get more right than he should."
Yuji looked at Takeru.
"…Please stop while you're ahead."
Takeru paused.
Then nodded.
"…Understood."
A beat.
Then added:
"…Next guess pending."
Yuji immediately:
"…NO—"
