The air feels crisp and invigorating, carrying the earth aroma of freshly turned soil and the delicate fragrance of blossoming flowers. The world around me is in the midst of a vibrant transformation.
Everywhere I look, nature is bursting with life. The trees, once bare and skeletal, now wear tender green leaves that dance in the gentle breeze. Cherry blossoms adorn their branches, painting the landscape with a soft, ethereal pink. The birds, too, seem to have found a new zest for life. Their melodious songs fill the air, a harmonious symphony celebrating the return of warmth and light.
"Hikigaya did you hear what I just said". Just when I thought I could enjoy the morning walk to my classroom my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by someone. Zen'in Maki the only girl in my class. She has tall and athletic build, her long, straight green hair flows down her back and is usually tied up in a high ponytail.
She is from one of the major clans, the zen'in clan. Although she is from zen'in clan she cannot see curses without the help of her glasses. Consequently she was singled out in her clan and made fun of for being a "failure":even though she is very strong. The zen'in clan also held back her promotion so she is stuck being grade 4 for the time being.
"Yeah, I am listening Maki something about the new transfer student"
I am or should I say we are currently walking towards our classroom in Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. Besides me there are Toge, maki and panda. Inumaki Toge is also a first year in Tokyo. He has short, spiky, silver hair that adds to his look. He is wearing the standard Jujutsu High school uniform. He could pass of as a normal highs schooler if not for his powers. He communicates almost exclusively through a form of jujutsu speech called "Cursed Speech."Inumaki Toge's primary ability is his use of "Cursed Speech." By uttering specific words, he can invoke various jujutsu techniques. These words have different effects on his targets, and his jujutsu abilities are determined by the ingredients and recipes of his cursed speech. For example, he can command objects or living creatures to follow his orders, which is particularly useful in , the use of cursed speech comes with limitations. He must be cautious about the words he uses and their implications, as he could inadvertently harm his allies or himself if he's not careful. It's also noteworthy that he cannot communicate in a conventional manner because of his ability so he only talks in sushi ingredients.
The other one is Well... he is a panda.
"They say he "stuffed" four of his classmates into a locker" panda said. I am not really someone who believes in rumors but I can't help but be concerned. Oni-chan is gonna miss you Komachi. You can use my computer after my death but please delete my browsing history.
"He killed them"? Maki asked without showing no emotions of fear or surprise. "Tuna mayo"
"No, but gravely injured, apparently". Wow that makes it so much better. I feel very safe.
"Hmm..well if he's cocky, I'll wring him out."
"Hikigaya you have been awfully quiet. Did you get into another fight with your girlfriend"
"For the last time panda Yukinoshita is not my girlfriend "
"That's right panda no way hikki-useless could ever get a girlfriend. He is destined to die a virgin"
"Oi, what's that about me not having a girlfriend. I could easily get a girl if i tried hard enough. I will probably be very rich in the future so money won't be a problem and I am pretty good looking .I am not really worried about being single for the rest of my life"
"Did you seriously just call yourself good looking Hikigaya. Someone like you who can scare women away just by your creepy ,dead and creepy fish eye's. Are you alright Hikigaya". Wow you had to say creepy two times.
"Oi ,what's this about my creepy eyes you bitch"
"Huh, did you just call me bitch."
"Forget about me it's not like you are in any better position compared to me. No, you are in an even worse situation.
No way any dude is going to accept a muscle brain women like you "
"Takana"
"Anyway, we are already here so we should head inside " panda says while sliding the door to our classroom. The classrooms here are massive compared to the number of students. Guess when you have money to burn it wasn't a problem. Seriously this whole place is amazing . Its built in a large area in mountains in the edge of Tokyo. The dorms aren't bad either. Its far from town so its peaceful too. The person who chose this area - you have my sincere gratitude.
We head inside our classroom and sat in our seats and wait for our teacher to arrive.
"tch, he is late" The muscle brain women angrily said.
"Why are you so eager to start slaving away. You should cherish this peace just like me". says the great Hachiman as he is hunched down on his desk with his arms around his head sleep- meditating Maki is looking at me like she would tear me apart. Just as she was about to say something about how creepy I was I quickly interrupted her.
"I stayed all night with my vita-chan so no matter how late Gojo is, its a win-win sit-"
Just as I was saying this Gojo barges in through the door like a madman. This guy was definitely waiting outside the door to make a "right" entrance. He was definitely waiting for me to say something. Gojo Satoru is our teacher. He is around 6 feet tall making him quite tall for a asian person. His tall height paired up with his good looks will have many women throwing themselves at him. Seriously in terms of looks this guy is way above Hayama making him the god of raijyus. Pair that up with his extremely annoying attitude this guy is the worst person to be around.
"Hikki are you thinking of something rude again." What how did he know. Can he read minds too.
"No, I was thinking how blessed we are to have you as our teacher. Also don't call me hikki" I said looking at him with a deadpan stare .
"As expected of my favourite student. You recognize greatness. Do you have special power in your eyes or something huh hikki-kuuuun. Is that why your eyes look like that. You shouldn't hide anything from great The Teacher Satoru , Hikki- kun"
"I am not hiding anything from you and what do you mean is this why my eyes look like is bullying Gojo-san. Should I report this to principal".
"Hahahahah .. you are hilarious Hikkigaya. This is why you are my favourite student"
"Please choose someone else to be your favourite Gojo-san"
"No can do Hikki and what did i say about calling me Gojo-san Hikki. You should be calling me sensei Hikki.
S-E-N-S-E-I Hikigaya come on repeat after me "
"No way I am ever calling you sensei you man-child. Anyway shouldn't you introduce the new transfer student."
"Well you haven't said the magic words Hikki"
"Hikigaya just do as he says or else we will be stuck here all day. I have training to do."
"Sigh... Can you introduce the new transfer student Gojo-sensei"
"of course. Since our cute Hikigaya kun is so eager to meet the new student I'll now be introducing Yuta on in
The door opened and- . This guy is cursed and that too a very powerful one.
Maki stabbed her weapon behind him panda and Toge both were ready to fight and me well I just sat there.
"Is this some kind of you are cursed." said maki
The guy looks clueless. Does he not know that. Who did Gojo even bring cursed spirit is also not normal.
It's probably grade 1 or higher.
"The number of people that die mysterious deaths or go missing in japan is over 10,000 a year on average. Most of those are casualties of curses born from the negative emotions of people. Among them are also malicious cases caused by curse curses can affect other curses. This is place where you learn to exorcise these curses.
Welcome to Tokyo Jujutsu High school."
I can already tell the new student is cursing him that before you the cursed spirit this guy is not look that strong. Speaking of cursed spirit-
"Maki you should back off" I say
" Huh who do you think you are trying to ord- "
Don't bully... Yuta!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So as you can see this is the boy cursed by Rika-chan, who just loves him...Okkotsu Yuta-kun . Be nice to him, everyone! These guys are all being rebellious, so I will introduce them quick-like." "We aren't rebellious, you are the problem Gojo-san" As I say this the black haired boy looks at me with a look of understanding. Speaking of him this guy looks really from me that sound's very ironic. He looks like the type to get bullied in high school.
"See that is what I am talking about Hikki-kun over there. He has no respect for his elders" Wow that's rich coming from this guy.
s"Anyway, this is the cursed tool user, Zen'in Maki. She uses special tools to exorcise curses. This is Inumake Toge. He can only speak in onigiri ingredients so good luck communicating with him. The handsome guy with beautiful eyes is Hikigaya Hachiman. You will probably get along with him really well. This is panda. Well there you have it. For your evening jujutsu practice you will be in pair of two and two except Hikigaya. Toge - panda pair , Maki - Yuta pair."
"geh" RIP Okkotsu. You will be remembered.
"As for you Hikigaya-kun you will be going on a mission with Meimei-san. It will be a night mission so you still have time"
"With Meimei-san? What about Nanami-san or Kusakabe-sensei." I don't really have any problem with Meimei-san but I would still prefer it to be Nanami-san or Kusakabe-sensei.
"Both of them are outside on a mission right now. And didn't you want to get promoted fast. You need to learn how to work with other sorcerers if you want to get stronger" As much as I hate him he's right. I cant just work with people I am comfortable with if I want to be strong.
"I understand. Can meet you after this class, I need to ask you something" What I wanted to ask him was about upgrading a technique I developed."
"Wow this is rare Hikki. You asking me for help. I'll call you when I am free."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"U-UM , I-I hope we can work together."
"you were bullied, weren't you? Bull's - eye . I totally get it. Even I'd bully its because of your curse? It's written on your face that you're branding yourself as a good are you acting like the victim when you're being protected? You have been passive you're whole life haven't you. Jujutsu high isn't so easy that you can get by without any goal." I get why she is saying this but I feel like she is taking things too far. Maybe because he reminded me of myself from middle school. I felt like I should say something so I did
"Maki that's enough. Give him some time. It hasn't even been a day since he joined" Maki ,Toge and panda all looked surprised. I guess it was out of character for me to say something like that huh.
"What did you do to Hikigaya. Who are you"
"Shouldn't we be going by now. We might be late for our mission " Thank you panda
"Alright alright get off my case will you."
When everyone left to go their room Okkotsu called out to me "T-thank you Hikigaya-san".
"Don't worry about it. We loner's need to stick around. By the way can you show me your Id" I wonder what his rank is.
"huh"
"Your Id. Didn't Gojo-san give that to you "
After looking through his pocket he gave me his Id. Just as I thought this guy is special grade. Even though he isn't as strong now he will surely be after some years. I returned him his Id and went to my room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The silence of the room was broken by a ringtone from a phone. Call incoming from Gojo Satoru . I wanted to rest for some hours before my but I guess that wont be possible.
"Hello"
"Ah hello Hikigaya come to training grounds now "
"What, I have mission in -" He hung up one me. I guess this is what I get for asking Gojo for help. I will probably be late today.
"Gojo-san I might never get promoted if you start doing this every time."
"Don't worry about it Hikigaya-kun you have plenty time"
"30 minutes is not "plenty time". Please inform me a little earlier if you do this again."
"Hikkigaya-kun you are starting to sound more and more like Nanami. What did you want to ask the great teacher Gojo"
"Its about my cursed technique"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hikigaya-kun , It's been 30 minutes since I was here. Why are you late "
" I was helping a old woman with her luggage Mei-san. Isn't that what jujutsu sorcerers are supposed to do; help people".
"haaaa... follow me" phew I thought she would get mad. Just how much money did Gojo gave her to do missions with me.
"Hikigaya-kun did Gojo say what the mission was about "
" No he just said to meet up with you. Was he supposed to do that"
" hmmm. I guess I will just ask him for money later "
so he did pay her for this
" We are going to Chiba"s
