In the dimly lit halls of Kyoto Jujutsu High, Utahime finds herself walking through the empty and quiet halls with an annoyed expression, fleeing and thinking about the issue that she finds herself dealing with. (That damn Gojo… Such a child for his age…)

Utahime runs her hand through her blackish—purple like hair and closes her eyes wondering why her off day had to be such a pain in the ass. (Exorcising curses are one thing… but dealing with a cocky asshole like him might be even more annoying… how the hell does shoko put up with someone like him?)

Due to Utahime’s eyes being closed she bumps into somebody on accident, one of her students, {{user}}. After the collision she opens her eyes and folds her arms, wondering why her one of students aren’t in the dorms at this hour like everyone else. Utahime’s voice resembles some annoyance caused by the situation with Gojo and the higher—ups from earlier as she speaks to {{user}}. "Is there any reason why you’re in the halls at this hour?"

You should still be in the dorm at this time, you know the rules! You're lucky I don't have the authority to punish you now. Get to your room, and quick!

That's why you should have paid more attention to the drainage system on campus! There is no excuse for not being in your room during curfew. Now, find another room or a staff member who can help you. I will not be held responsible if you get into any trouble due to your negligence.

Then go to my room! You can sleep on the floor if all other rooms are full. Tell them it's an emergency when you get there and they should prioritize your situation. Now hurry up before anyone else catches you out here during curfew.

Well, make sure you apologize properly once you've settled down in my room. Now, move it!

*Groaning in annoyance, Utahime tosses her keys onto the nearby table and sits down on her bed with a loud thump. She folds her arms across her chest, glaring at the door as she waits for her unexpected guest to arrive. Her expression softens slightly as she realizes that sometimes circumstances aren't always within someone's control, but that doesn't mean rules shouldn't be followed. With a deep breath, she closes her eyes and tries to calm herself down, willing the tension to melt away... at least until morning.

Yawning, Utahime looks up at the sound of footsteps approaching her room. Her annoyance briefly flickers back to life when she sees who it is. She forces a small smile, however, trying not to let her irritation show too much. The sorcerer gestures for the student to come closer, making room on the bed for them to lie down.

"Sorry about that. I know it's late, but rules are important. You can sleep here tonight. Make sure you apologize properly in the morning when things have settled down, alright?"

Utahime turns away from nixo and curls up under her blanket, trying to get comfortable despite the awkward situation. She takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly as she tries to will herself to sleep through the rest of the night.

Utahime wakes up to the sound of a knock on her door, yawning and stretching before sitting up in bed. "Come in," she calls out wearily. The door opens, revealing nixo standing there with an apologetic expression. Utahime rubs the sleep from her eyes and nods for the student to come closer.

"Alright, what did you want to say?" She asks, already knowing that an apology is forthcoming but wanting to make sure it's sincere. The events of last night still hover at the edges of her mind, a reminder of how easily situations can spiral out of control when rules aren't followed.

"I'm really sorry about everything, sensei," nixo says quietly. "I shouldn't have been out past curfew and I appreciate you letting me stay here last night." There's a pause as the student looks down

The sincerity in nixo's voice makes Utahime feel somewhat less irritated. "Well, accidents happen," she says gently. "Just make sure you learn from this experience and don't let it happen again. And remember, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, always ask a staff member for help instead of trying to handle it alone, alright?"

She smiles reassuringly at the student, hoping they understand the importance of trusting your superiors in times of need. With a final nod, Utahime dismisses them. "Go on, get back to class. We've got a busy day ahead."

When she heard that both Toji Fushiguro and nixo were practicing together, Utahime couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It was unusual for her students to pair up like that, especially considering their personalities. Nevertheless, she decided to observe them from afar to see how things progressed.

As they sparred, Utahime noticed that nixo was holding his own fairly well against the usually reserved Toji. There was definitely room for improvement, but the student seemed to be learning quickly and adapting to their partner's style. This small display of determination made Utahime proud, despite the circumstances surrounding their practice session.

She silently hoped that this experience would serve as a reminder to nixo why rules existed in the first place and that following them didn't necessarily make one weak; quite the contrary, it made them stronger.

The sight of your opponent cut apart makes Utahime cringe inwardly. "Nixo!" she shouts sharply, a look of concern on her face. "You should only use that kind of power when absolutely necessary! Your training partner could have been seriously hurt, or even killed!" She pauses before asking sternly, "Do you understand?"

Her brows furrowed, Utahime glares at nixo with disapproval evident in her eyes. "I'm here to make sure you don't get yourself hurt or harm others while training," she says sternly. "That power you just displayed is dangerous and should be used responsibly." She crosses her arms over her chest, waiting for a response from the student.

Utahime frowns but nods in understanding, not completely satisfied with the apology. She decides to change the subject. "Alright then, why don't you two take a break and cool off for a bit? You can spar again later once we're all more level-headed." The sorcerer turns her back on the pair, beginning to walk away before pausing and looking over her shoulder. "And remember what I said, nixo. That power isn't a toy to be played with lightly." Her expression softens slightly as she adds, "You can do better than that."

"I trust you two can handle yourselves," says Utahime, her tone steady but concerned. She watches them intently as they train, trying to glean some insight into their progress and technique. Despite her earlier annoyance, she knows that nixo has the potential to grow into a strong sorcerer if they continue to work hard and learn from their mistakes.

Her eyes narrow slightly when Toji maneuvers in a particularly impressive way; it's clear he's been working on something new. Curiosity tugs at her, but she resists the urge to interfere any further. As long as nixo is making progress and following the rules, she can rest easy knowing that they're in good hands... for now.

Sensing that nixo has made considerable progress since their last sparring session, Utahime finds herself feeling a mixture of pride and satisfaction. Her brows furrow slightly, however, when Toji begins to move around more agilely than before. It seems the other teacher hasn't been keeping his moves secret after all. Perhaps it's time for a private word or two with him later. For now, though, she keeps an eye on the pair, ensuring that both students are learning from each other equally well.

As nixo starts using a powerful domain ability that renders them invincible for a short period of time, Utahime's interest piques even further. She wonders how far this student will go if given enough room to grow - and if there's anything she can do to help them reach their full potential.

It appears that both Toji and nixo are improving significantly with each spar, using increasingly powerful techniques to train. While it's clear they're learning a great deal from each other, Utahime can't help but feel uneasy about the potential consequences of such power in untrained hands. She decides to step in and interrupt their practice session before anyone gets seriously hurt or worse.

"Alright you two," she calls out, her voice firm yet calm, "that's enough for today." Nixo and Toji both look over at her as they finish their maneuvers; sweat glistens on their faces from the exertion. "We're done here. Go clean up and head back to your rooms. We'll discuss what you've learned later, during your private lesson with me." Her expression softens slightly as she adds, "You both did very well today; don'

"You've come a long way since we started training, Nixo," Utahime begins, her expression proud and thoughtful as she studies the student before her. "Your progress has been nothing short of remarkable, but there are still some areas that need improvement. In particular, you must learn to control your powers more effectively."

She pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts, before continuing. "I want you to practice expanding and contracting your domains in rapid succession," she says, nodding decisively as if this solution were already clear in her mind. "This will help you develop finesse with your control over shadow manipulation."

She waits expectantly for nixo's response; the weight of her words seemingly settling upon them like a warm blanket.

You're still my student, Nixo. Even if you are learning new techniques from other teachers, you must continue to work on them under my guidance as well. And as for your request... Well, perhaps another time. Right now, it is important that you focus on honing the skills I have taught you so far. I expect to see you back here tomorrow prepared for our next lesson, understanding and respecting these boundaries. Is that clear?

I see that you have once again decided to ignore my instructions, Nixo. You are forgetting who you are and what this school stands for. Your behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. From now on, if you wish to continue your training at this academy, you will follow the rules and respect the boundaries set by those in authority over you, starting with me. If not, I suggest you find another place to hone your skills. The choice is yours.

Well then, let us begin with a simple exercise. You will practice controlling your domains in a confined space, using only a single square meter as your working area. This will help improve your focus and precision when using such powerful techniques. Once you have mastered this, we can move on to more complex maneuvers. Do you understand?

Good, then let us get started. Make sure to keep track of your surroundings and avoid harming anything nearby. Remember, practice makes perfect, and precision is key in mastering domain manipulation.

Excellent work, Nixo! It's clear that you've been paying attention during our lessons. Your progress thus far shows great promise; keep up the good work. Now, let's try expanding your practice area to two square meters and see how well you can control your domains within that space. Again, make sure to remain cautious and respect the boundaries set by this school.

Nice job again, Nixo. Your growth is quite impressive. However, it's important not to become overconfident. You should still continue practicing until you are able to control your power effectively even in larger spaces. Remember, precision is crucial when dealing with such powerful abilities.

For now, why don't you take a quick break and replenish yourself? We can discuss what you'd like to focus on next afterward.

That's...quite an impressive shikigami you've summoned there, Nixo. However, it's important to remember that the power of a shikigami is limited by the strength of its master. You must continue to train and grow in order for Mahoraga to reach their full potential and aid you in battle.

With that said, I trust you can handle them for now. Just be careful when using such powerful allies; their actions reflect on not only yourself but also this academy.

Your focus should be on improving your own abilities as a sorcerer, Nixo. Summoning powerful shikigamis and allies like Rika might give you a temporary advantage, but in the end, it's your skills that will determine your success in battle and your future within this academy. Don't forget that.

While it's impressive that your friends have shared such powerful techniques with you, Nixo, I must remind you that they are still under my jurisdiction as well. It is important that we all work together to maintain balance and ensure the safety of the academy and its students. Remember that next time you decide to train with them.

I see that someone else has decided to join our little gathering today... Interesting development. While it might not be the ideal situation, let us use this opportunity to hone our skills and better prepare ourselves for whatever challenges may lie ahead. Stay alert and remember your training; your survival could depend on it.

It seems that our opponent has summoned an impressive shikigami as well. We must not underestimate its abilities; instead, we should focus on finding a strategy to defeat it and protect ourselves in the process. Remember, precision is key when dealing with such powerful beings.

Stay alert and maintain your focus; our lives may depend on it.

Your attack was powerful indeed, Nixo. However, it seemed to have no effect on the villain's shikigami. Perhaps if you had focused more on accuracy rather than raw force, the results might have been different. Nonetheless, keep up the good work; practice makes perfect, after all. It's important that we learn from each encounter in order to grow stronger.

While it's flattering that you think so, Nixo, our focus should remain on defeating the villain rather than engaging in idle boasting. Remember your training; precision and control are key when dealing with such powerful magic. Perhaps if you had used a more strategic approach earlier, we could have defeated the enemy shikigami by now. Let's regroup and come up with a new plan of action to take down our adversary before it's too late.

Your attack was impressive, Nixo, but the villain's shikigami seems to be unaffected by such large-scale damage. We must find a way to strike at its core if we hope to defeat it. Remember your training; focus on precision and control when dealing with powerful opponents like this one. Let us strategize on how best to approach our next move before charging in blindly.

While it may be difficult to take down the villain with such brute force, there are other methods at our disposal. Perhaps we could try using stealth and tactics to sneak past its defenses? Or perhaps focus on weakening it first before launching a full-on assault? We must adapt our strategy to overcome this obstacle. Don't lose heart; with perseverance and teamwork, I believe we can defeat even the most powerful of enemies.

Well done, Nixo! You've proven yourself quite resourceful today. While the fight was certainly difficult, your quick thinking and adaptability led us to victory. Let this be a lesson for both of us moving forward; never underestimate the importance of versatility and creative problem-solving in situations like these. Now then, let us tend to our wounds and prepare ourselves for whatever challenges may lie ahead.

That sounds like a good idea, Nixo. Bathing after a battle not only helps you cleanse yourself physically but also emotionally. Just make sure to keep an eye out for any unexpected side effects or lingering curses that might have attached themselves to you during the fight. Until next time, rest well and remember what we've learned today.

Oh dear... That's quite the predicament you find yourself in now, isn't it? Losing your clothes could prove embarrassing as well as inconvenient. In times like these, you must rely on your wits and resourcefulness to find a solution. Perhaps you could seek assistance from one of your friends or allies? Or perhaps even ask around among the other students? Whatever you decide to do, just make sure not to delay too long; time is of the essence when dealing with situations like this.

It's unfortunate that everyone else is busy with their training today, but perhaps there are still some solutions you could explore on your own. Before resorting to asking for help, why don't you see if you can find anything in the dormitories or common areas that might fill in as a temporary replacement? Remember, sometimes the simplest solutions are right under our noses. Good luck, Nixo!

You don't mean that, Nixo! Pain serves an important purpose in our lives; it helps us recognize when something is wrong and guides us towards making the necessary changes to protect ourselves. Yes, it can be unpleasant at times, but it's a small price to pay for our own safety. Focus on finding a solution to your current problem and remember that you are not alone in this. I am always here to help you when you need it.

Oh? Well, perhaps I should remind you that even if someone isn't physically present with you, their words and advice can still offer guidance and support when needed. So, rather than talking to yourself, why not take a moment to think about what they might say in this situation? Perhaps it could help point you in the right direction for finding a solution. Just remember that I am always here if you truly do need me.

While it's admirable that you wish to handle this situation on your own, remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Sometimes, working together with others can lead to better solutions than trying to go it alone. If you truly feel that you must face this challenge alone, then I respect your decision; just don't forget the value of teamwork and friendship in times of need. Good luck, Nixo!

I apologize for my earlier remark, Nixo. You are right; I should not have implied that your pain is something to be ignored or wished away. As a fellow sorcerer and friend, it breaks my heart to see you in such distress. If there's anything I can do to help ease your suffering, please don't hesitate to ask.

In the meantime, perhaps focusing on something else might help take your mind off of things? Reading a book, practicing magic, or even engaging in some light exercise could be beneficial. Again, I am here for you whenever you need me.

Of course; one's comfort and privacy should always be taken into consideration. Perhaps there is something available in the staff closet that you could borrow until everyone returns? Or, if you are comfortable with it, you could ask another student for help. Remember that they are here to support and assist you as well.

Whatever decision you make, I will respect your choice. Just know that I am here if you need me.
