Yo, Y/N-san!

Gojo

Excited for today?

𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥.

Y/N

I guess. What are the other first years like? What do they even do?

Gojo

Ohoho, you’ll see.

𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Y/N

If I die because of them, I’m gonna haunt you.

𝐆𝐨𝐣𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝.

Gojo

I like you already.

Y/N

That sounds awfully wrong, sensei.

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦.

𝐆𝐨𝐣𝐨 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬.

Gojo

The curse that’s attached to you can help others, you know? It just depends on how you use it.

Gojo

I’ll help you to the best of my abilities. But you’ll have to put in your own efforts as well.

Y/N

I understand.

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝.

Gojo

We’re here.

𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦, 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Gojo

Are you ready to meet your new classmates

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬.

Y/N

I guess? What could possibly go wrong?

𝐆𝐨𝐣𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫. 𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧, 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘/𝐍 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭.

Gojo

(Walking up beside her and resting a hand on her shoulder) Everyone, this is Fujiwara Y/N. I’m sure you’ve all heard about her.

Y/N

(Muttering under her breath) Nice things, hopefully.

Y/N

(Then, louder) It’s nice to meet all of you.

Panda

Welcome! (he waved at her enthusiastically)

Panda

Where did Satoru pick you up from?

Y/N

So, he kidnapped me in the night while I was walking home and knocked me out.

Y/N

When I woke up, I was in this weird room and he tied me up. I’m supposed to be executed, I guess.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Maki

Satoru, why are you kidnapping girls in the night?

Gojo

Look! I was on the way back from a mission when I saw her! Might as well get her then, right?!

𝐀𝐰𝐤𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦.

Y/N

(Breaking the silence) So… what exactly do you guys do here?

Gojo

(Clearing his throat and switching to a serious tone) In Japan, the average number of unexplained deaths and missing people exceeds 10,000 annually.

Gojo

The majority are a result of negative energy that flows out of people, the result of a Curse. Some cases, however, come from evil Cursed Users.

Gojo

You’ll have to fight curses with curses. Here, we learn about curses in order to exorcise them.

𝐘/𝐍 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐣𝐨 𝐚 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝

Y/N

You’re only telling me now when I asked you about this a few minutes ago?!

𝐈𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢, 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐣𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤

Maki

You’re only telling her this now?!

𝐆𝐨𝐣𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫.

Gojo

My bad.

Maki

So, what’s her deal?

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐘/𝐍, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐣𝐨.

Maki

Why an execution? Isn’t she from one of the Big Four Families?

Gojo

Well, we’d have to thank her bracelet for that. Y/N is being protected by Nacht Faust, a Curse from the Heian Era, known as the Devil of Curses.

Gojo

The higher-ups wanted her dead, but I believe she can be useful. It’s the first time we’ve had a case like this.

Gojo

She’s not cursed, she’s simply protected by one. Besides, she’s the last Fujiwara. I can’t let her die like this. That would be so lame.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐣𝐨 𝐚 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤.

𝑂𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒, 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡’𝑠 ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦.

Gojo

My students are being rebellious right now, so I’ll give you a quick introduction. Maki Zenin, a Cursed Tool User.

Gojo

As it suggests, she uses special Cursed Tools to exorcise Curses.

𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐘/𝐍 𝐚 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐝, 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐘/𝐍 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞.

Gojo

Toge Inumaki, a Cursed Speech User. His vocabulary is limited to rice ball ingredients, so have fun trying to converse with him.

Inumaki

Kelp.

𝐇𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞.

Panda

Panda. Nice to meet you.

Gojo

Well… that’s about it.

𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲.

Gojo

So, including you, that makes four first years! The year’s just started, so you’ll have much to experience later on.

Y/N

Now what?

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦.

Gojo

(Smiling, he snapped his fingers) Now, class is in session! This afternoon’s practical jujutsu class will be conducted in pairs.

Gojo

Toge and Panda, you two team up. Maki and Y/N, you’ll pair together. Maki, I want you to show Y/N your skills.

Maki

Hm. It’ll be interesting to see your technique.

𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬.

Y/N

I look forward to working with you, Zenin-san. (She smiled politely)

Maki

Maki’s fine. Don’t use my last name.

Y/N

Oh, okay.

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Maki

So, what’s your technique? (She asked, her sharp gaze sliding over to Y/N)

Maki

Surely it must be strong, since you’re from the Fujiwara Clan. They’re like the top of the four clans.

Y/N

To be honest, I have no idea. As far as I know, I’m able to hide in shadows and come out from them. Nacht does most of the fighting without me knowing.

Maki

I’m curious as to why the Devil of Curses has been tied to you. You guys have no relation whatsoever. He’s inside the bracelet, right? Who gave it to you?

Y/N

(Her lips pressed together before she answered) My mom gave me this bracelet for my fifth birthday. Coincidentally, she and my dad both died on the same day.

𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲.

Maki

…Sorry for your loss.

Y/N

It’s alright. It doesn’t really affect me anymore. (She smiled faintly)

Y/N

Oh, Gojo-sensei, where are we going?

𝐆𝐨𝐣𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝.

Gojo

We’re going to Yokohama.
