Chereads / Potential Man (Megumi SI/JJK/WC Fic) / Chapter 17 - Movie 0: Enters Yuta

Chapter 17 - Movie 0: Enters Yuta

We continue chilling under a tree, talking about various things. Mostly listening to them talking about their classes and missions. Saying my piece here and there, I also have some experience in missions.

Funnily enough Panda and Inumaki didn't comment about my strange love triangle with the twins. I think people born in Jujutsu Society are more accepting of these things, Nobara and Yuji would probably find it strange, even with [Normalcy] perk. Not that I plan to hide... Every Jujutsu Sorcerer is entitled to their own eccentricities.

If Mei Mei can be a greedy groomer, I can be a harem master.

Our casual talk is interrupted when two uninvited guests appear... I didn't expect to meet them so early.

"Heeeyy~~ First Years~~" The guy that has the delinquent archetype greets us by raising his hand while approaching.

I can recognize Hakari "The Gambler" Kinji even if his hair is different from Canon's. He hasn't dyed it yet, it's still black and with small dreads on the top.

The "guy" following him is even more different from what I remembered. Hoshi "The Femboy" Kirara is still going with a masculine, albeit plain, look.

But if I have to bet, pun intended because of Hakari, I would bet that he/she is in her "metamorphosis" of becoming a drag(or whatever). I say that because of the bag that he is carrying... I bet his feminine clothes and makeup are there.

He is still in the closet.

And now a curious thought... The femboy continues being a femboy but the Company genderbent Gojo...

Weirdos... Or does this have something to do with my subconscious? But I think femboys are gay. So it's not for me...

Maybe it's the fact that I was not that interested in Kirara from the beginning? Maybe it's because Hakari was into that? You can't gamble without pulling the "lever", right?

"And who are you?" I was pulled off my brainrot thoughts by Maki's sharp voice

"I'm your senpai, Hakari Kinji. Sup~" He says while crouching down to take some chicken nuggets and eat it unceremoniously, hence why Maki was angry, that's rude.

I don't care, it's just food, just take it. It's not like he took it from my hand.

"Ugh. Kin-chan, that's rude... Sorry, first-years. He is like that, don't take it to heart. I'm Hoshi Kirara, we are Second Years." The future trap says.

And "Kin-chan", huh? Zehe~ This one is already biting pillows.

"Yeah, yeah... Sorry, sorry." Hakari "Every Hole is a Goal" Kinji says without a hint of apology in his voice, he didn't even stop stealing our chicken nuggets.

Maki is still glaring daggers at him.

"Are these our senpai?" Mai sighs resigned

"Jujutsu Sorcerers are weird..." I say one of the ruling principles of this world

"By the way, let me say my reason for coming here before I forget and stop caring..." Hakari continues "You must be the Maki, right? The bulging muscles are giving away..." He turns to Maki

"And what of it?"

"Participate in the Goodwill Event with us!" He declares while opening his arms. Jumping a lot of steps in this conversation.

"..." Oh, now this is different from canon... The influence of my actions is starting to appear slowly and little by little.

"Goodwill Event?" Mai tilts her head

It's Kirara who answers that "Every year the two sister schools of Tokyo and Kyoto engage in a friendly competition between the students."

"Normally only the students from Second-year and forward participate, but we're kinda short of manpower this year." Hakari adds

"It's only me and Kin-chan of the Second-years."

"Even taking the Third-years out of the equation, I heard Kyoto has 3 students in the second year." It must be Todo, the Noritoshi guy, and the broom girl...

"So we talked with Gojo-sensei..."

"... and she recommended you!" Hakari finishes by pointing his fingers at Maki like a gun.

Ownt~, look how cute they are... Finishing each other sentences~

Wait, there are Third-years? Beyond Hakari, I mean... Is that Ino guy an ex-student?

"So you want me to participate..." Maki says slowly

"Yep, initially I came here to start some trouble and test you, but..." He says shameless, making Kirara sigh and slap his forehead "But I can already see that you're the real deal" Hi finishes with a smile

"..."

"So... what do you say? You're in?"

It's a confirmation of who the leader of our relationship is, the fact that Maki turned to look at me for confirmation, or advice.

"..." Her gaze made the rest follow, and I can't say that I like being in the center of attention.

My whole schtick is being the dark and cool side character that is OP. The Eminence in the Shadows!

"The Goodwill event will be in Kyoto this year, right?" I ask casually while sipping at my drink. There's no way for me to know that, but they will probably guess that Gojo told me

"Yep. Free road trip to Kyoto as an extra!" Hakari says with a satisfied smile

"The school of Kyoto is much more... conservative than this one in Tokyo. Half of it because Gojo is here in Tokyo and the other half because the principal of Kyoto is an old man connected with the Higher-ups. They're annoying..." I say, my message to Maki is clear... The Zen'in clan can make trouble for her. Wait, this can be an incentive!

I continue "On the other hand, it could be cool to kick their asses." I laugh "In the end, it's simply a friendly event to create connections. Do what you want."

After I laid out the pros and cons of the whole thing, I let Maki decide. I think a part of her wants to go there, but...

"..." She gives Mai a look. Yeah, they can create trouble not only for her but for Mai too. It would not be weird for them to investigate the two after seeing Maki's ridiculous power-up "I will think about it." It's Maki's final diplomatic answer.

"..." Hakari looks at her for a second before sighing and letting his head hang low for a second. "Whatever... You have time to think. The thing will happen in a little less than two months from now."

"We come with antecedence to give you time to train and prepare." Kirara adds.

Hakari stands up and starts walking away after stealing more chicken nuggets "Hit us up, if you want to participate. We can train together. I'm pretty tough, you know?"

"He means that the first phase of the competition is mostly in groups so we need to get used to each other." Kirara translates Hakari's rude way of talking

"And as your senpai, we can teach you a thing or two!" He points at Maki and then to us "The invitation goes to the rest of you as well! If she doesn't want to, of course..." Then he gave me one last look and turned around to walk away in a delinquent fashion.

Kirara gives us a bow before following him.

"Did he think you're a first-year too?" Mai turns to me

"Probably yes." My physical build can make me pass as an older guy, I'm taller than Inumaki after all.

"He said that he could tell Maki is strong, but he said nothing about Megumi." Mai ponders with a finger on her chin

"It's because Megumi is a freak." Maki explains(?).

"...?" The rest tilt their heads in confusion

What she means is that I can hide very well. [Covert Talent] is not only to walk silently, you know? I'm pretty good at masking my cursed energy amount and hiding my presence.

But I don't want to talk about that so I divert their attention to...

"Those two are fucking." I say

"Pffffft!" Maki spills her drink in Mai's face, making her young twin deadpan. But her inexpressive face lasts so long as she registers my words

"Wai- What?!"

"Fucking, you know? The horizontal Tango? The fight in the sheets? The Bow Chicka Wow Wow?" I elaborate while doing some very explicit handsigns

"Okay! Okay! Stop!" Mai shakes her head while grabbing my index fingers, stopping it from penetrating the hole I made with the other hand "But... But they are men." She says in a whisper like she is talking about a national security secret.

"And? "

"...Okay, I have no argument to that..." She gives up fast.

"But how did you know?" Panda asks me

"I'm primarily not a fighter, but a lover..." I put a hand over my heart "So I can catch those things."

"..."

"..."

"No one will buy your bullshit." Maki rolls her eyes

"Wanna bet that they're a thing?"

"I'm not betting against you ever in my life."

"Aww~" I still have so many costumes for her to use

Panda interrupts us to ask "And you're gonna accept, Maki?"

"I don't know. It sounds like a drag."

"These schools are really in decline if they need to ask for a first-year student to participate in a senior's events." Mai says with a shake of her head

"Don't say it like that, Jujutsu Sorcerers are rare, and it's unpredictable how many would appear each year. I heard there's none in the fourth year." Ah yes, there's a fourth year here because this is a "Technical College" by law.

"Salmon." Inumaki confirms

"The scarcity of sorcerers is a real thing. More of them become Curse Users and do their mercenary jobs or are part of the clans." I add "Your guy's year is really a special case. Three members of the clans enrolled. If it was not like that, only Panda would be a student... And Panda is another type of special case. So it would be an empty year." Well, Yuta would eventually appear.

"..."

"..."

Now it's downing to them how rare students in this school are

"Don't worry, Inumaki-san. I will not pry on your matters, everyone has their own circumstances." I give the silent guy a nod.

"Kelp." He nods back

Well, I can't say I am not curious about his circumstances. Gege didn't explain it, after all, and it didn't look like a big deal before.

But now I know that is very rare for people of the clans to enroll. I want his backstory.

Gojo enrolled because she was bored, apparently. And she can do whatever she wants.

That guy from the Kamo clan in Kyoto is the son of a concubine but has the Inherited Technique, so his position is delicate and he probably wants to prove himself using his own skills or something like that. I can't care to remember.

Maki and Mai, I don't even need to say.

But Inumaki... He has the Inherited Technique of the Inumaki clan. A famous technique that is recognized even by old sorcerers during the Culling Game... And he is here. Is it because he can't control it? Is he the special case?

Well, whatever...

I also, as an outsider who knows the author of this world, am aware of extra meta info.

Fun Fact: Jujutsu Kaisen should've been much darker. Yep, even more grimdark. I read somewhere that the initial draft consisted of Yuta going around uniting curse users to solve the Rika issue in a much more chaotic Japan. Plagued with curses and all that.

It would not have an organization and this Status quo... Basically, the same thing after Gojo was sealed and the Culling Game started!

But the editor thought that would be too dark for a shonen magazine, and suggested a "school setting". Gege eventually relented but he really didn't want to create like, 20 students in each room... So there, we have it, Jujutsu Kaisen.

Yuta was not the MC anymore, well he kinda is too, but his story is completed before Canon.

And we are graced with the Dark Naruto archetype that is Jujutsu Kaisen. I'm living in the "Bright Timeline"! Pfft! I don't even want to imagine how it would be if that psychopath that is Gege had free rein.

"By the way, do you guys know that sorcerers of the clans are not part of the Grade System, because they didn't come to Jujutsu High, but the ones that distinguish themselves receive the Special Grade 1." Panda comments, making small talk about the theme.

"Just a way to massage those guys' ego. Pfft, 'Special'... They don't even know Domain Expansion." I scoff

They look at me before I continue "But you can't deny that they are normally really better than the average Grade 1. Most of the time. After all, they are trained in secret techniques and all that. Even in Jujutsu High, they withhold certain things from the students... And that's why the mortality rate is high." Take a sip of my drink before letting my head fall on Mai's lap

After a sigh I decide to throw Gojo's objective in their minds "And that's what Gojo wants to change..."

....

"Do you really need to do this today?" Maki groans while resting her shoulder on a Bookshelf

"Ah c'mon, do you want me to lose the trip and come here again?" I say while taking pictures of the more advanced books about Barriers, Curtains, and Talismans.

"It would not be so bad. You would have an excuse to visit us..." Mai says while casually flipping through some Random book

"You just need to call."

"It's getting late... and I'm starving." Maki comments with a certain tone of voice.

"We just ate- Oh, oooooh~" I was talking before turning to her and seeing her hungry gaze. She is not hungry for food "Chill lady, give me a minute."

"You two are too horny..." Mai shakes her head and avoids eye contact while Maki and I eye-fuck each other.

...

Now at home...

"Mpff! Hmm~" Maki's moans are muffled by my mouth while I press her down on the bed.

"Ahn~ Mn~, Megumi~" Mai doesn't have this privilege and her moans caused by my fingers in her pussy are clear to us.

After some time alternating in making out with the twins, I make them do something for me

"I can't believe you convinced us to do it..." Maki huffs, her face pressed on the mattress.

"I feel so vulnerable." Mai buries her head on the bed

"C'mon, I'm just admiring you guys' beauty~" I say from my position behind them, watching as they maintain their asses up, pressed side to side.

What a view~

"So similar and so different at the same time~" I appraise while caressing a cheek of each. I even give some bites.

"Can you get over it already?!?" Maki's embarrassed voice reaches my ears

But I'm in the zone "Shh~ Shh~ Shh~" I shush her, rubbing my face in her supple backside

"The two are soft on their own, but Maki's is firm and Mai's is very elastic~" I squeeze them to illustrate my words, pulling their cheeks apart.

"Maki's is perkier and Mai's is jiggly~" I use my fingers to move Mai's ass, making it shake like jello

"Damnit, Megumi! You pervert! Are you some sort of sommelier of ass?!" Maki shouts red-faced

"Please stop... I'm dying..." Mai whimpers from her position

"Sommelier of ass... It's gonna be one of my titles now. Or do you guys think Connoisseur is better?" I chuckle, and to not hear any retort, I bury my face between Mai's cheeks tongue fucking her pussy while also burying my fingers in Maki's butthole.

She denies it, but she is an anal slut, and with a little foreplay she always folds.

"Haah~ Really delicious cake~"

"Can't we stop with the commentaries?! Just fuck us already!" Maki growls

"Nuh-uh~ First..." I raise myself and position my cock between their asses "... an assjob using each cheek." I say before I start enjoying their smooth buttocks, pressing their cheeks around my dick

"Ugh, enjoy this because it will be the last time."

She always says that~

....

After a good and steamy love-making session, I lay down on the bed while they rest their face on my chest. Ah~ This is bliss~ So what I made a deal with the devil? This life is the best!

"Megumi, about that Goodwill event..." Maki starts, attracting my attention

"I didn't withhold any information, you can decide that for yourself." I say while caressing her hair

"But what is your opinion?" She presses

"Hmm... Sincerely? I wouldn't do it." I say honestly. Most of the reason is because I want to keep things close to canon, but I sincerely don't believe that it has any Advantage.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, you're too strong Maki. You will destroy them. If you go with the intention of encountering some challenges to push yourself, you're bound to leave disappointed."

"..." Her face betrays that is exactly what she was thinking, at least most of it. I can guess the other reason.

"But if you want to show everyone how strong you are and rub it in on the Higher-ups face... Go for it. I will support you."

Maki is a prideful woman, and she is a little petty too. I can say she will not have full closure if she doesn't beat everyone that mistreated and looks down on her at least once. Maybe she is not that murderous, because Mai is alive, but I can see her castrating Naoya... Or stomping her father's head on the ground.

Showing everyone from the Zen'in clan how dumb they are for not valuing her.

"I thought about that, but..." She talks with a distant gaze

"But Mai, right?"

Mai herself perks up at the mention of her name.

"Seriously? For that reason? Don't let me stop you from doing anything, idiot.. I'm not a flower in a vase!" Mai raises her voice

"Don't give me that! You know very well there's more to it!" Maki's answer in kind

"I'm not still the kid that was afraid of curses, you know?!"

"I know! But it's not some silly curse! It's one of the Great Clans! They can do some underhanded shit! I simply think that the rewards are not worth the risks!"

I need to stop this...

"Okay, girls. Stop." I say giving each a swat in their butt, making their glare turn to me. "As the neutral party, I can give my verdict... Niether of you are wrong."

They roll their eyes, thinking that I'm simply being civil, not wanting to take sides. But I'm too strong to bother about these silly things...

"Really, Maki has a point. It is in our best interests to keep our abilities a secret. Mai's Construction technique, Maki's perfect Heavenly Restriction, and even the Taming of Mahoraga. The longer we keep it Hidden, the more advantageous it will be to us."

Now that I have their attention I continue "For many reasons, Maki is not wrong in saying that it's not worth it. There's really almost nothing to gain, buuuut..." I drawl "...if Maki really wants to do it even for a petty reason, she should do it."

They looked at me strangely

"Look... Being cautious is good and all, but... If not to do what you want, to have the freedom to do what we want... Why do we have power? Why do we even train? Yes, to protect ourselves in this crazy horror world, but also to have our pleasure and seek some enjoyment in life. Gojo does it the best, she has her responsibilities and worries, but she enjoys life doing what she wants in the way she wants."

Keeping things close to canon to make the Culling Game happen so that I can farm a lot of credits AND take advantage of the chaos to kill the higher-ups and reform Jujutsu Society is good and all, but... It can't get in the way of our lives that much

I continue turning to Maki, caressing her hair "Don't worry, if they come... Let's simply kill them."

"Wait... Are you serious?" Her eyes widen seeing my calm and stony face. Mai's eyes also widen

"For real. We do not seek trouble, but I will not avoid it either. Let them come if they want to catch all this smoke." I scoff "Maybe you guys don't know but we can demolish the Zen'in Clan. Me or Maki alone. Heck, Mahoraga can demolish them."

That makes them chuckle a little, the absurdity of a great clan can fall that easily. But I know better.

"Do what you want, Maki. I've got your back."

"I see..." She raises herself a little using an arm "Thank you. I will think about that..." Then she pauses and her eyes move down...

...to my hand that immediately reached and squeezed her bare breast

"...seriously?" She asks incredulously "I was ready to say some nice things, you know? Read the mood goddammit!"

"Would you believe me if I say that it moved on its own?" I say, but not stopping groping her tit.

"One day a woman will take advantage of your horniness and kill you." She huffs, falling down on the bed again, forcing me to remove my hand and put it on her lower back.

"Or he will take advantage of the woman. Megumi is a bad boy." Mai giggles

"You guys talk like I'm some sort of predator..."

"And are you not?" They raise an eyebrow at me

"...I have standards at least." I reply with conviction, I hope.

"Heh~ Here, Maki. The way to defeat him easily, flash him and take him down."

"I will do that next time we bet in a spar..."

"Ugh, my reputation will be tarnished by you guys..." I groan before remembering to address something "Oh! Before I forget... We just talked about the negative attention that the reveal of our abilities can attract... But I will ask you two to keep in mind that it can attract 'good' attention too."

"Hm? How so?"

"Like... What if the Zen'in clan suddenly want you guys back?"

"I will never return!"

"Me neither."

It warms my heart that they answered that without na drop of hesitation

"I know, I know... But they can use some low-blow tactics. Like emotional blackmail... Your mother or whatever. I never asked about your relationship with the clan members, so I don't know if you guys had any relationship, more or less good, with any of them. It's an old tactic. To make you lower your guard, promise favors, tie you in some way..."

"..." My words appear to resonate with them. Good

"It's easy to take care of this... Just remember how they treated you before. If they come all smiles, it's not because of you. It's because of your abilities and usefulness. Like someone who was poor and became rich. It happens with a lot of families."

To finish I hug them tightly, and they snuggle at my sides "We are in this together and only we matter. They deserve nothing from you guys and you owe them nothing. They can't reach you in any way if we don't allow it. I will not allow it, so don't allow it either." Then my voice grows a little cold "If they don't get the message..." Well, I want to keep things close to canon, right?

I left the implications hidden, but my meaning is clear, I'm reinforcing what they took as a joke earlier.

I really don't want to do it before the time is right. There's a thing called Casus Belli... I can end them, but it would bring trouble if I'm the one that attacks first. I don't want to give Kenjaku any advantage. He has some of the Higher-ups working for him. It's better to wait for the chaos to strike

But I can always flip on the "Fuck it" button. The Zen'in clan must be worth some juicy credits, right? Especially if I sell them.

....

Monday morning, Maki and Mai went back to Jujutsu High to finally meet Yuta.

Every time a major plot point happens, it's like a tic in the clock to me. I'm satisfied with my progress, happy even. I come from a guy who had some shikigami to summon to complete the Ten Shadows Technique, learn anti-domain techniques, Haki, and much more.

I can be proud but never relaxed. I travel through the shadows, emerging in a dark Building.

"That's why we will be increasing the experiments!" I smile predatorily at all the low-grade curses in front of me.

Even curses can feel fear it seems, they jump in fright at my emergence, some even running away.

"Stop." And they stop. Paralyzed in fear, like a frog in front of a snake. Or maybe like a peasant in front of a monarch.

This Darkness Devil authority is handy. If we put him in this world he wouldn't be a Disaster Curse, he would be a Calamity Curse.

I keep my smile while approaching the poor curses, ugly things... But they become somewhat cute when they tremble and try to appear as small as possible.

"The mortality rate continues at 100%, will one of you finally break this... curse? Zehe~" The whole place gets even darker when my shadow looms over them

....

- Maki -

"I heard that he stuffed four of his classmates in a locker." Panda, the Always informed, says while we walk to our classroom.

"Tuna Mayo."

"So he is a delinquent? Using his cursed energy to beat normal people?" Mai asks "Or maybe a psychopath? Power tends to get into people's heads when they only have weak people around."

Panda shrugs his shoulders "For some reason even the Principal doesn't want to talk much about it. But the students are not dead, at least."

"It's probably to make us come to our own conclusions." I can guess this much "No need to imagine too much, we will meet him now. And if he is trouble, I will teach him a lesson."

"Katsuobushi"

Panda smiled a toothy grin, so he also agreed. Only Mai is sighing... C'mon, I will not even beat him first. I will give him a chance.

...

"TIME TO INTRODUCE THE NEW TRANSFER STUDENT! GET FIRED UP!"

"....."

Gojo-sensei tries and fails to get a reaction from us.

The rest is very neutral, but my focus is on the creepy thing just outside our classroom. It can't be the transfer student, right? It seems I will need to beat him in the end.

Gojo-sensei apparently saw me staring at the wall to the corridor so she said "Finally we have someone from normal society enrolling, so be nice to him!" She gives a thumbs-up

A normal dude? Seriously? Is he cursed or something?

"Whatever." He was talking mostly to me, but Mai answered uninterestedly

"Salmon."

"..."

Inumaki and Panda are equally enthusiastic.

"Haah~ What tough crowd." She sighs "Now COME ON IN!" She shouts to the door.

I will just observe this new guy...

!!!!

Okay, there's something wrong with him.

The moment that he stepped into the classroom the whole place shifted into a horror zone.

First, that's a huge amount of Cursed energy! It's as much as Megumi when he is not hiding it.

And this sensation... Ugh.

I was feeling it through the door, but getting in touch with it directly is a totally different experience. It took me back to when Megumi started Mahoraga's taming ritual. The overwhelming pressure and all that.

But that's where the similarities end. While Mahoraga's presence could even be said to be... What is the word? Valorous? Valiant? Righteous? Like a warrior full of fighting spirit. "He is the Divine General, after all" Megumi once said when he laughed after figuring something out.

This new guy's presence is the complete opposite side of the spectrum. It's creepy, like the worst curse that I met a thousandfold... disgusting even. It's making my skin crawl.

And I'm not the only one that felt that... Without wasting time, as proof of their training, Mai and the others stood up and immediately went into battle mode.

Panda puts on his knuckle bracers, Inumaki pulls his neckpiece down and Mai pulls out her gun and points it at the guy.

I would too, if I didn't see Gojo-sensei calmly standing to the side. She would not bring this... thing here if she was not sure of what she was doing.

And looking with attention. That scrawny guy looks a little too pathetic to be that scary.

"He is cursed... What the heck, why is he a student?" I suddenly ask our sensei, attracting the attention of our classmates.

I notice the new guy looking confused between us and Gojo-sensei. Seriously, he looks harmless, but my senses don't lie.

"Well, this is the Jujutsu Technical School, where we learn to deal with curses. Curses are..." She starts.

Huh? Huuuh?!?

For real! You're giving a cash course now?! Of the basics?! A tutorial?? Does the new guy doesn't even know it?!

"Did you bring him here without explaining a thing?" I ask slowly, my classmates slowly turning to her too. Judgment is present in their gazes.

Her answer is knocking her own forehead with her knuckle and "Teehee~"

"....."

"Gojo-sensei, can I shoot you? I know it would not do a thing, but it would be cathartic." Mai says with a straight face

"Hehe. It would be for the better that you guys take a step back, or Twenty..."

"Hm?... !!!"

I notice that disgusting amount of cursed energy shifting a little. Damn, it's so much that you almost can't feel the changes! Like trying to see what is moving deep in the sea.

Two gigantic pale arms materialize from behind the new guy. They reach for my classmates.

As fast as I can, and without hurting her, I grab Maki with one hand and Slash one of the arms with the wakizashi that was behind my waist.

I see Gojo grabbing Inumaki and Panda too, but not before each of them receives a swat on their head.

I also noticed the arm that I cut is starting to dissipate, but the stump instantly regenerated in a grotesque way where it grows in bubbles before retaking the usual shape.

"Wait! Rika-chan!! Calm down! I'm not in Danger! See?!" The new guy tries to placate that thing like it is some sort of misbehaving pet.

Should I simply kill it? I raise my wakizashi

But Gojo stops me "Chill Maki-chan. As you guys can see, Okkotsu Yuta-kun is the carrier of a Vengeful Spirit. Rika-chan is his childhood friend who died in a car accident years ago but lingers to this day. Protecting him. But she is a Danger to people around him. So..."

"...Be nice with him! And make him feel welcomed!"

"..."

It sounds like a drag... Can't we kill it? No, by the way, it regenerated, it must have a condition, or requirement, to be exorcised.

After that Gojo introduced us, keeping the ongoing gag of not explaining Panda's origins. I can see that the Yuta guy is curious but afraid to ask.

"Now... Let's start dividing the teams for today's mission. Okkotsu-kun will go with..." She drags the last word while thinking hard, looking at us.

"He will be in a mission on his first day, when he doesn't know anything about... anything?" Mai asks perplexed

"No better way then a practical experience to baptize him in the Jujutsu World!" Gojo laughs

"..."

She is into something. She is absolutely planning something. She is like Megumi in this aspect. When the two are planning something devious, they always do this.

The pauses and the dismissive jokes and laughs to diverge the attention.

I narrow my eyes at her, but thanks to the blindfold I can't tell if she is not seeing me, or simply ignoring me.

"Panda! You will go with Okkotsu-kun. I will accompany you as a supervisor." Gojo suddenly declares "The other three will go together on another mission. Maki is only to observe and intervene if things go south." She warns me.

"Okay, okay..." We started moving.

I side-glance the new guy, seeing Panda patting his shoulder to reassure him or something.

"..." He pisses me off for some reason.

Maybe it is because he is strong but is acting like a bitch? He reminds me of Megumi, but like... with a lot of bad traits. Traits that I despise. He feels like a waste. An insult that my instincts are putting him on the same level as Megumi.

I can also see some similarities with myself, but I'm not going into that rabbit hole.

I turn around.

Whatever, it's not my problem. Ah yes, I will message Megumi later in the group chat. He was curious if the new student would be a cute girl.

He is gonna be disappointed. Heh~
