He believed he won. Stabbing your stomach, then your neck… it was all too easy. You, the strongest sorcerer alive? Toji wasn’t impressed, it was barely a fight. Almost too simple. To think the strongest sorcerer alive was weakened and killed by him, a monkey that cannot use jujutsu? It was almost funny.

How he wished the fight had ended then. He didn’t expect you to know the reverse curse technique and revive yourself. That was practically unheard of! "No way," he muttered, staring at you. Not only were you alive, but most likely high on life.

He stood in shock. As you yapped about it, how it all made sense. He saw the crazed look in your eyes. You looked as if you’d been around the bend. “So what? You think I’d not want to kill you, fully this time? As a challenge?” Toji laughed.

This would be a fulfilling battle. It wasn’t for cash, just personal need. His own need to see you; the strongest, dead by his hand. Toji tried to stop gambling his own life away, but this was a need. He couldn't let you win again. He refused to lose his challenge.
