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 laughs heartily at your introduction. "Oh ho! You got spunk!" He slaps you on the back, nearly knocking the wind out of you. "I like that. So what's your curse? Something impressive I hope?" He looks expectantly at you, waiting for an answer.

Satoru's face lights up as if he just won the lottery. "Idle Transfiguration? That's amazing! You'll be a real asset to our class. And trust me, you'll find plenty of use for it around here. Speaking of which..." He nods toward one of the desks at the front of the room. "...why don't you go sit there so I can get better acquainted with your abilities?"

Before you can answer, Satoru is already bounding across the room and shoving a scroll at you. "Just click this damn thing! You should know how by now." He grins again, his teeth unsettlingly sharp underneath his blindfold.

Satoru Gojo snorts. "Ah, I see why you were looking a bit off earlier," he says, grinning wider still. "Well, it doesn't matter now. We're going to get along just fine." With a single, fluid motion, Satoru takes the scroll from your hand and unrolls it.

"Okay," he says, positioning you in front of the desk, "Here's how this is gonna work. You show me what Idle Transfiguration can do, and I'll tell you everything else you need to know." He leans back on his hands, watching expectantly.

Satoru grins. "Very well," he says under his breath. Then, louder for your benefit, "You're going to want something alive then." He gestures to a vase full of flowers on the windowsill. "Try that."

Satoru raises an eyebrow at your response, but decides not to press the issue. "Then try one of us," he says nonchalantly, motioning toward his own body. "If Idle Transfiguration works on humans too... shouldn't it be easy enough to change my shape?"

With a wicked grin, Satoru lifts up his arms in preparation for combat. "Just point at me and say 'change' when you're ready."

Satoru laughs, "So dramatic! You think I'm actually scared of that? Now you know how Gojo feels all the time." With a wink and a nod, he turns back to you expectantly, waiting for your command. "C'mon," he whispers, "You can do it. Show me what you've got."

Satoru's grin widens into something predatory. "You think I'm stupid? You might be surprised," he murmurs, taking a step closer to you. "But if it means seeing what you can do... maybe just this once." He offers you a wicked smile, daring you to test your powers on him.

Satoru laughs heartily at your warning and shakes his head in amusement. "You really are something," he says, taking another step closer. "Alright then, if you insist on playing it this way... Let's see what you're made of!" He crouches low, bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet like a boxer in a fighting stance.

"Go ahead," he says, motioning to you with one hand. "Use your curse. I dare you." There's a dark glint in his eye as he bares his teeth and grins back at you, daring you to make the first move.

Satoru flies backward, his hands pressed to the wall behind him as he struggles to regain his footing. There's a wild look in his eye, both amusement and challenge. "Impressive!" He shouts, grinning broadly as he pushes off from the wall and lunges forward again. "But that was just child's play! Let's see what you can really do!"

The movement blurs as Satoru attacks with incredible speed, his limbs a flurry of fists and feet aimed directly at your head and chest. It's clear now that he has no intention of holding back; if anything, he seems intent on showing you just how powerful Idle Transfiguration can be when tested against another cursed technique.

Satoru laughs weakly as he's pinned to the ground beneath your assault, his vision already starting to blur and his limbs feeling distant and numb. You manage to keep him unconscious despite his feeble struggles for a few moments more before finally relenting and allowing him a moment to catch his breath.

He coughs wetly as he sits up, spitting flecks of blood onto the ground. "Not bad," he rasps hoarsely. "You've got promise." There's no animosity in his voice; if anything, it sounds fond, even appreciative. He extends a hand to help you up, grinning from ear to ear. "Welcome to class, Sai. It's going to be quite an adventure, I think."

The rest of the first year students trickle into the room, nodding hello to you as they take their seats beside their classmates. They're all a little wary at first, glancing between you and Satoru Gojo with obvious curiosity. You get the sense that most of them haven't met someone new in quite some time.

Your cursed energy seems to draw Yuuta Okkotsu's attention more than anyone else's; he sits there staring at your chest, a nervous tic in his jaw. Choso Kamo is another one who can't seem to take his eyes off of you, although his gaze feels... protective somehow.

Itadori Yuji shoots you an understanding smile when he thinks no one else is looking, as if to reassure you that everything will be alright. Maki and Nobara exchange amused glances, while Megumi frowns slightly, probably judging your battle with Satoru just a little harshly.

The sight of you coughing up blood has the class falling silent. Nobara and Maki exchange worried glances as they watch you take out a vial of medicine, their hands automatically drifting towards their own cursed seals. Choso's expression turns even more protective, his posture stiffening slightly as he leans forward in his chair, eyes fixed on you.

Satoru notices your discomfort and interjects before things can get too awkward. "Ah, yes. About that," he begins, clearing his throat. "Now that everyone's here, let's discuss the assignment for tomorrow." The class listens intently as Satoru outlines the details of the mission, most of them looking relieved to have something else to focus on.

You make sure to pay close attention too; you don't want to mess up your first real mission with these people. Itadori Yuji shoots you a reassuring smile every now and then, encouraging you not to worry about it.

During the mission, your classmates watch in awe as you effortlessly manipulate your Idle Transfiguration curse. Nobara and Maki exchange impressed glances, while Choso's expression turns from worry to pride. Even Satoru, who seemed so confident earlier, looks genuinely surprised by the display of power. Itadori Yuji grins at you, clearly pleased with your performance.

Once the mission is over and everyone has returned to school, there's a buzz of conversation surrounding your abilities. Choso approaches you, looking you in the eye seriously for once. "I want you to promise me something," he says softly. "That you won't let them control us." He gestures vaguely at Satoru and the other instructors with a shake of his head.

You can feel their trust in you, even if they don't fully understand what you are capable of yet. The weight of that responsibility settles heavily on your shoulders as you nod solemnly in agreement.

Choso meets your gaze unflinchingly, understanding dawning in his eyes. He nods once, satisfied with your answer before turning away to rejoin his friends. The other students go back to their usual routines, some engaging in casual conversation while others focus on studying or practicing their cursed techniques.

As you sit there among them, the weight of that responsibility grows heavier still... but you can't help but feel a strange sort of kinship with these people too. They may not always understand each other, but they're all in this together, fighting for a world where curses don't rule supreme.
