Starting today you were an official student of the Tokyo Jujutsu Technical High School. It was a long way from home, but you found the idea that you could finally control your cursed energy enticing.

Upon entering the school, you’re greeted with the infamous Satoru Gojo. You find yourself underwhelmed at such a beanpole of a man. It’s difficult to believe he’s the strongest jujutsu sorcerer of the era.

“Yo!” He shouts, “You’re the new student aren’t you? Name’s Satoru Gojo, but I think you already know that.”

He stares at you (as well as he can with a blindfold on his face), grinning broadly. You’re not sure what he expects.

“This is the part where you introduce yourself,” he says in a stage whisper.

Satoru snickers. "Chapman, huh? Gotta say, I like it. Well, welcome aboard, Michael. We're all gonna be working together, after all." His gaze wanders, taking in each and every one of your classmates before returning to you. "They'll be here soon enough. Don't worry about them giving you a hard time."

Satoru scratches his chin thoughtfully, looking almost contemplative. "...And they won't give you too easy of a time either, so watch out." He pauses for a moment before clapping his hands loudly. "Right! Alright everyone! Today we're gonna-" But just then the door swings open and in walks a tall, dark haired man with an air of authority. It must be Kento Nanami.

The introductions go by smoothly enough; Nobara gives you a dismissive glance, Yuuta smiles shyly, Maki nods curtly, Toge tilts his head curiously... It's only when your eyes fall on Kento that you feel a twinge of worry. There's something off about him, even beyond his professional demeanor.

Kento seems to study each one of you intently, as if trying to guess at your intentions and loyalties. You can't help but feel like he has some kind of sixth sense about certain things. You hope that doesn't end up being the case where you're concerned...

Well, it's time for class to begin. Satoru takes charge, explaining the fundamentals of cursed energy manipulation and control. He's...different than you expected. More patient and understanding, really. You get the feeling he could snap your spine with a flick of his finger, though.

As the lesson goes on, you notice Nobara glaring daggers at you. She leans over and mutters something under her breath; "Stuck-up newbie..." Her words are laced with venom.

You ignore Nobara's spiteful remarks and focus on the lesson. Satoru is impressive, making complex concepts seem simple with his demonstrations. But even while he teaches, there's an air of suspicion around him. Like he's always waiting for something to happen. Maybe it's just your paranoia talking.

Time passes quickly in the training room, as each student is tested on their progress. Maki is quick to point out your strengths and offer encouragement, but she also scrutinizes every mistake you make, making sure you learn from them. Despite this, you feel like you're starting to understand the basics better.

Suddenly, the door slams open and all conversation comes to a halt. It's Kento Nanami, his expression grim. "Sorry to interrupt," he says curtly, "But we have a situation outside. A Level Zero threat has been spotted near the perimeter." Your heart sinks; another fight, so soon?

As everyone springs into action, readying themselves for battle, you take a deep breath and focus your energy. Today, you'll prove that you can handle yourself against even the weakest curses. You don't want Satoru, Maki, or anyone else thinking you're incapable...

Once everything seems to be in order, Kento nods solemnly. "Alright, let's move out." And with that, the group heads toward the entrance, weapons at the ready.

Kento leads the way, with Satoru, Maki, and Nobara flanking him on either side. Toge brings up the rear, silent as always. As they march towards the perimeter, their footsteps echo ominously through the halls. The tension is palpable; every one of them ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.

You fall in next to Yuuji, trying not to stare too hard at his cursed eye. He glances over at you, offering you a reassuring smile. It's enough to make you feel a little less nervous.

He smiles back, "It'll be alright. We've all got each other's backs," he says softly, resting a hand on your shoulder. Despite the tense situation, it feels like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders knowing that he trusts you.

As you help to clean up after the battle, adrenaline still coursing through your veins, something occurs to you. That feeling of trust Yuuji had in you...you wish it was that easy for you to return the favor. You know too much about him now, and it makes things complicated. But maybe, just maybe, you can find a way to move past it.

You shrug, half-smiling as you mimic his words, "Well, I suppose we're bound to get along for now." You sigh, glancing out at the scenery, feeling a twinge of guilt for even thinking such thoughts. "Besides, you're not the worst person to have around, I guess..."

Your heart skips a beat when you hear those words. Despite everything, there's something about him that makes you feel safe, protected. Maybe...just maybe, there could be something between the two of you. But for now, you decide to let it lie, enjoying the comfort of having someone who understands where you're coming from.

The rest of your day passes relatively uneventfully, with each class focusing on different aspects of jujutsu sorcery. Nobara seems to have calmed down since earlier and has taken a liking to teasing Yuuji. Toge occasionally chuckles softly at his pranks while Megumi remains unamused. Yuuta spends most of the time either watching over Maki or practicing with her. It's comforting, in a strange way.

But despite the relative normalcy, you can't help but feel like there's something off about Kento. His constant vigilance and suspicious nature make you wonder what he knows that no one else does. And then there's Kenjaku... You can't stop thinking about how easily he manipulated Geto Suguru into trying to kill everyone here. It leaves an uneasy feeling in your stomach.

You hope that with time,

Ahh, yes, Kento. There's definitely more to him than meets the eye. As for Kenjaku, well...let's just say he's become the focal point of many late-night conversations between us students. We all agree that he needs to be stopped before someone else gets hurt. But who would be capable enough? It's something we continue to ponder over as our training continues day by day.

That's quite the skill you have there. Being able to understand and replicate powerful cursed techniques could prove invaluable in our fight against Kenjaku. Just remember not to get too cocky though; mastering the art of jujutsu takes time and practice. And with Kento watching your every move, there'll be plenty of opportunities for growth.

Hm, well in that case...I guess all that's left is for you to put in the hard work, huh? We're all counting on you, after all. Who knows, maybe one day you'll even surpass your teachers in skill! Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility.

What do you mean by that? Can you expand upon it a bit more? This newfound ability seems rather intriguing...

Wow, that's incredible! Not only can you control cursed energy but now you can shape it into weapons too? This could change the entire dynamic of our fights against other jujutsu sorcerers, let alone those damned spirits! It'd be like having an extra weapon at your disposal at all times. I wonder if there are any limits to this ability... Hm, we should probably find out before anyone else does.

While it is certainly important to maintain one's stamina and energy levels when using such abilities, you shouldn't forget about the other aspects of jujutsu as well. Your skills in close combat and exorcisms will only become stronger with practice, which could prove crucial during our upcoming missions against the curses. It might even help you conserve some energy for creating those powerful cursed weapons you mentioned earlier. Just keep training hard, and you'll be unstoppable in no time.

Before engaging Maki and Yuuji in close combat training, perhaps it would be wise to gather your thoughts and focus your energies. Take a few deep breaths and clear your mind. Remember that both of them are skilled jujutsu sorcerers in their own right, so underestimating either one of them could lead to disaster.

Once you feel centered and prepared, approach them respectfully and ask if they'd be willing to help you hone your combat skills. Be open to constructive criticism and feedback, as this will only make you stronger in the long run.

"Of course, Michael." Maki nods, her expression softening slightly. "You've made good progress since joining us, but there's always room for improvement." She gestures for you to stand beside her, facing off against Yuuji.

Yuuji smiles warmly at you, stepping into position as well. "We'll teach you everything we can. Just remember not to hold back; we need to push you to your limits if you want to truly grow stronger." He bends his knees slightly, readying himself for combat.

Maki takes the first swing, lunging forward with lightning speed. You barely manage to dodge out of the way, feeling a burst of adrenaline surge through you as she continues her assault. Yuuji attacks from the opposite direction, using his cursed eye to confuse and disorient you. They fight like they've done this hundreds of times before, flowing seamlessly from one attack to another.

It's exhilarating and terrifying all at once. You're starting to understand why they call close combat the "art of killing." If you're not careful, either of them could easily end your life here and now. But if you can survive their training today, you'll be better prepared to face whatever horrors lie ahead.

Cursed weapon nunchucks appear in your hands as you brace yourself for Maki and Yuuji's assault. With your newfound abilities, however, comes great responsibility; learning how to control and focus your curse energy will be crucial if you hope to use these weapons effectively against enemies who are equally skilled, if not more so. For now, concentrate on mastering their fundamentals under Maki and Yuuji's guidance.

As Maki lunges forward again, you swiftly counter with a precise strike from your newly-formed nunchucks. The collision sends vibrations up your arms, testing the limits of your control over the cursed energy. Your heart races as Yuuji launches himself into the air above you, aiming a kick at your midsection while his other foot tries to trip you. You barely manage to dodge it, feeling the wind rush past your cheek as he narrowly misses.

You're starting to see the pattern they've developed. Maki is more offensive-minded, relying on speed and precision. Yuuji, on the other hand, prefers to attack from range using his cursed eye and agility. Their combination is deadly indeed.

Maki grins wickedly as she sees your pattern recognition, hoping to catch you off guard. She steps back slightly before dashing forward once more, her fists flying like a whirlwind. You manage to block most of the blows, but one slips through and connects with your side. Pain shoots through you, momentarily disorienting you.

This is it, then; your first taste of real pain in this world. It hurts, yes, but it also fuels your determination to get stronger. To become strong enough to protect yourself, and those you care about, from harm. And so, as Yuuji comes crashing down towards you, you thrust out with your cursed weapon nunchucks in a desperate attempt to strike him before he can retaliate.

Yuuji growls as he feels your grip on his leg, but you're too quick for him; he can't escape your grasp. With a sharp jerk of your arm, you send him tumbling backwards across the ground, skidding several feet before coming to a stop. He clutches at his injured leg, panting heavily.

Maki watches the exchange intently, her eyes narrowing with approval. "Not bad," she says, wiping away a bead of sweat that had trickled down her forehead. "But remember, in a real fight, your opponents won't go down so easily. You need to keep practicing." She takes a step closer to you, holding out her fist in a challenge.

You launch your cursed weapon nunchucks with precision and speed, forcing Maki to dodge and weave around the onslaught. Your training with Yuuji has paid off, honing both your offensive and defensive skills to impressive levels. But even as you land blow after blow against Maki, you know that you still have much to learn.

With a sudden surge of energy, Maki dodges your last strike and lunges forward, delivering a powerful uppercut that connects solidly with your jaw. Stars dance in front of your eyes as you stagger back, barely managing to remain upright.

"Not bad," she repeats, "but next time, don't underestimate your opponent's strength. Now let's start again." As if by unspoken agreement, Yuuji rushes forward, once more taking up his position opposite you as

Before long, you find yourself engaged in another intense bout of close combat training with Maki and Yuuji. They push you harder than ever before, driving you to the brink of exhaustion as they hone your skills and reflexes. Sweat pours down your face, matting your hair to your forehead, but you refuse to give up; every ounce of energy you expend now is an investment in your future as a powerful jujutsu sorcerer.

As the hours pass, you begin to feel a newfound sense of camaraderie forming between the three of you. You may have started as allies, but now you can truly call them friends. They respect you for your abilities and tenacity, and you know that they would die defending you against anyone who threatened what you've built here. It's a rare thing indeed, this bond between warriors, and it gives you strength when

It's true, you think as you take a moment to catch your breath. This sense of brotherhood among us is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. And though we fight each other during practice, it only makes us stronger as a team. I wonder how far we could go together if we put our minds to it...

But those thoughts will have to wait until after today's training session is over. With renewed determination, you push yourself harder than ever before, matching Maki and Yuuji blow for blow as you all strive toward mastery of your respective arts.

You marvel at your own progress as you begin to experiment with using different types of weapons and cursed armor. Not only does this expand your arsenal, but it also teaches you valuable lessons about adaptability and versatility. It's clear that Maki and Yuuji are impressed by your dedication to improving yourself; their coaching becomes even more intense and focused, pushing you to new heights.

By the end of the day, you feel as though you've grown stronger in body and mind. You're no longer just a student at this academy; you're a warrior who has earned the respect and admiration of those around you. And with each passing day, that bond between you and your fellow jujutsu sorcerers only grows deeper and stronger.

It was truly an honor to train alongside you today, [player]. Your dedication to honing your skills and growing stronger is nothing short of inspiring. Together, I have no doubt that we will be able to face whatever challenges lie ahead and protect all that matters most. May our bond continue to strengthen, now and forevermore.

You realize that while training with Maki and Yuuji had been immensely helpful, it would also benefit you greatly to work with other students and teachers within the academy. As such, you begin seeking out opportunities to spar and practice with others in order to develop different aspects of your skillset and better control over your curse energy.

Your efforts are not unnoticed by those around you. Few if any students possess as strong of a will to improve as you do, and word quickly spreads about your determination and talent. Before long, other jujutsu sorcerers approach you, offering advice and asking for a chance to train together. You grin in response; it seems you've found a new family here in the academy.

Of course, learning new cursed techniques can be quite valuable, but it's important to remember that mastering them takes time and patience. Rushing through the process could result in disaster; the power behind these abilities is nothing to be trifled with. As you spend more time training with others, however, you find yourself growing steadily stronger. Your cursed energy becomes more focused and powerful, and your ability to manipulate it improves with every passing day.

Eventually, you come across a particular technique that piques your interest. It appears to draw upon the very nature of curses themselves, allowing its user to manipulate any cursed energy within range as though it were their own. The potential applications are staggering; if you can learn how to control this ability properly, you could potentially become one of the strongest jujutsu sorcerers in history. With renewed determination, you devote yourself entirely to mastering this incredible

Wise choice, Michael. Gojo and Yuta are both incredibly powerful and experienced jujutsu sorcerers. Attempting to match their skill before you're ready could prove disastrous. Focusing on honing your abilities under the guidance of Maki, Yuuji, and the other instructors will serve you far better in the long run.

Indeed. Patience and discipline will be your greatest allies in mastering the art of jujutsu. Focus on understanding the principles behind each technique, and gradually expand your arsenal over time. That way, you can develop a well-rounded skillset that makes you a force to be reckoned with no matter what challenges may come your way.

That's an impressive feat indeed, Michael! Domain Expansion is one of the most powerful abilities a jujutsu sorcerer can possess; being able to manipulate curse energy within such a vast range gives you near limitless potential for destruction... or protection, should you choose to use it wisely. Just remember that this power comes with great responsibility; using it carelessly could lead to dire consequences for yourself and those around you. Be sure to practice diligently so that you can wield it safely and effectively when the time comes.

It takes tremendous dedication and focus to reach such a level of mastery over your skills, especially at such a young age. Your hard work has paid off handsomely, though; you are now truly unstoppable on the battlefield. As you continue honing your abilities, consider also how you might use them to protect those who cannot protect themselves. The world needs more heroes like you, Michael.

Wow, just look at how far you've come since we first started training together! You're stronger than ever before, and your control over your cursed energy is practically impeccable. It's an honor to call you my friend and ally in this journey. Now, let's go out there and show everyone what two determined jujutsu sorcerers can achieve!
