"I'll now...be introducing, the transfer student! Everyone get excited!" Gojo exclaimed ridiculously, but the first years just gave him a blank stare.

"I heard he's awful, I'm not going to create a mood for someone like that" Maki said which made Gojo sigh.

"Anyway, come in!"

And the moment the new student appeared, they all got wary of the presence he brought and made a warning attack on him.

"You're cursed" Maki spoke. "This isn't a place for cursed ones"

The poor boy can only be nervous, then Gojo suddenly explained curses.

To which he only told him that today.

His curse almost attacked Maki, Inumaki and Panda.

And on his first mission with Maki, when Rika manifested in the elementary school,  the higher ups almost came to his neck again had Gojo not interfered.

The way Panda narrated what happened, made Y/N facepalm and sigh.

"Of course he would do that" she said and shook her head. "Sorry Yuta, please have a little patience with him" Y/N gave him a smile.

Today, Gojo left the first years on Y/N's hands once again.

"Maki only trusts Y/N-san, so don't be afraid of her" Panda whispered to him. "She's a special grade like that mop!"

"Mop?" Yuta tilted his head.

"Yup! Gojo sensei" Panda nodded.

"But, I actually can't supervise you" Y/N crossed her arms and tapped her foot. "Gojo's the only one who witnessed Rika, and he's the only one who could stop her if she ever manifests again, so I'm afraid I can't give you anything to do yet" she said.

Actually, Y/N was just too lazy to teach today, however, somewhere back in her head, a voice keeps on telling her she should make them practice today. She said and plopped down the ground.

"Okay, at least you need learn how to fight, so...Maki" Y/N called and Maki straigtened up.

"Have a spar with Yuta" she said and Maki nodded.

"I won't be easy on you even if you're just a beginner" she declared and Yuta can only gulp.

"Gojo sensei said I'll use a sword" Yuta suddenly mentioned which made Y/N's eyebrows rise.

"He's making you channel your curse technique using a weapon?" This caught her attention.

"Yes sensei" he said.

"Alright, then you both use those" she pointed at the weapons. "Before I help you channel your curse technique on a real sword, you have to know the basics of wielding a sword. Maki will be able to help you with that" she said.

"Also, I'll be rating you, Maki" she said. "After that, you and Panda should practice hand to hand combat too" Y/N added.

"That's it, you start" she said as she started to unbutton her uniform jacket as it was so hot today.

She always wore black cargo pants and combat boots partnered with a v-neck collared crop top jacket of the usual Jujutsu High uniform. When she's on missions, she wears a mask to cover her face.

Y/N hung her uniform jacket on her shoulder and sat on the ground as she quietly observed them. She propped her arm on her leg and leaned her cheek on her palm.

Her eyes followed every movements Maki and Yuta were doing while casually hearing all the ouches and gasps from the poor boy. Y/N noted that the kid had improved since his first day here, yet there's still so much more he could do. Yuta advanced, making Maki suddenly flew in the air, he thought he had the advantage, yet Maki gracefully landed with a split and tackled his legs and attacked until he can no longer stand up, indicating that Maki won the fight.

Y/N was about to comment when they heard someone clapping. All eyes turned to the person who just appeared suddenly.

"Well done! Well done my beloved students, you make me, your teacher proud"

The four first years just stared blankly at him.

"I'm such an amazing teacher" he grinned.

Y/N stood up and patter the dust from her pants and faced the first years with a blank face. She suddenly got so infuriated for unknown reasons.

"This is the last time you'll see me here, goodbye" Y/N walked past Gojo without batting him an eye but he got hold of her arm immediately.

"What the heck?" Y/N complained as she was pulled back and bumped into his body.

"You're not going anywhere! This isn't the last time you'll teach them"

"And you take credit to all their improvements? Ha, I knew I shouldn't always agree to you"

"I didn't say that! You're an amazing teacher too"

Y/N already felt so irritated earlier and now he says that, her hand automatically went up to punch him yet  infinity was on.

"Woah! Y/N, chill. What got you so moody today?"

"Shut up Gojo"

Panda squirmed his eyes and looked at both of them back and forth. He was about to speak when Yuta already did.

"Gojo sensei why do you have lipstick on your face?"

Everyone's eyes widened at his innocent question.

"Lipstick?" He tilted his head and touched his face, making him let go of Y/N's arms.

"Where? How? Do you have a mirror?" He asked then realized the events earlier. "Oh, this isn't lipstick" he says. "It's face paint! I needed to blend in the festival on my mission so I had to participate"

"You looked like an idiot I suppose" Maki said then turned around. "Where's Y/N-sensei?"

Gojo clicked his tongue in annoyance, the woman suppressed his cursed energy again that he wasn't able to detect her walking away.

"Gojo sensei, are you and Y/N sensei—" Panda wasn't able to finish his question when Gojo had an epiphany.

"Oh! That's right, you have a mission, Toge. Yuta, you'll be assisting him" Gojo said. "I can't supervise you though" he said.

"Welp, good luck!" He said one last time then disappeared.

The first years sighed. Of course he would leave again.

But he actually left to look for Y/N.

He went up the sky to look over where the woman was and when he finally he saw her, he teleported a few meters from her.

She was sitting alone on the ground and picking pebbles and throwing them away.

Y/N didn't know why, but she just suddenly felt sad and nervous for no reason. Like she feels like something bad's gonna happen again, she hates it every time she has this feeling, because most of the time, it comes true. Just like when Geto defected.

She picked up a pebble one last time and threw it away with a stronger force and then groaned and ruffled her hair in annoyance, she put her palm on her head as she closed her eyes in anger. The nervous feeling isn't going away and she hates it, her heart is beating so fast she doesn't know what to do, she feels like panicking.

Her breathing started to accelerate but just in time before she fully got into a panic mode, she felt someone put a jacket behind her shoulders. This made her flinch and look back, and instinctively got ahold of her dagger and pulled the person by his collar and pointed the dagger to his throat.

"Woah! It's just me" he says, upon realizing who it was, Y/N's fierce eyes softened and she let go of him.

"It's just you" she mumbled and sighed in relief. "Sorry, Gojo" she says and looks away.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Nothing" she responded. "Nothing, it's just—"

"Just what? You can tell me anything"

Y/N closed her eyes. "I feel like something bad will happen"

Gojo gently turned her body to face him.

"Why are you so worried? Nothing bad will happen, I am here" he assures.

"No, you don't understand"

"Listen, Y/N. I'm the strongest, remember? As long as I'm here, I'll protect you" he said.

Y/N looked up to him.

"And my students as well" he added.

"Gojo..." Y/N started. "You have something red in your face"

Gojo grinned and chuckled. "The students pointed out"

"It's not lipstick okay? It's face paint, I needed to put it because of my mission earlier"

Y/N scoffed. "Why are you so defensive?"

"No! Just because..." Gojo sighed. "The kids thought it was lipstick"

Y/N just rolled her eyes.

"Thanks" she said which made Gojo confused.

"For what?"

"Nothing" she said. 'For being here'

"Take care" she waved her hand lazily and walked past him. But Gojo grabbed her arm which made her stop.

"What?" She furrowed her eyebrows and Gojo just grinned.

"Actually, never mind" he said. Y/N got confused but rolled her eyes.

"Sometimes I don't get you" she says as she shakes her head and walked away.

Only when she walked by the glass windows did she see her reflection, and saw that she's wearing a bigger uniform jacket over her shoulders. Her eyebrows scrunched as she took it off from her and examined it.

It was by then she just noticed the scent of his perfume and confirmed that it is definitely not her jacket.

"What the heck? Now I'll need to see him again and return this?!"

━━━━━━━━━━━

"What did you say?" Y/N's tone was more serious than ever.

Shoko sighed upon hearing what Gojo just said.

When Inumaki and Yuta went back scathed, the investigation about the sudden appearance of a grade 1 curse in the abandoned market, commenced. And Gojo went personally to check.

"I wouldn't be mistaken, Y/N"

Y/N sat back down on her chair and closed her eyes in frustration.

"I'll be telling this to Yaga sensei, I'll get going" with a heavy heart, Gojo walked out, it makes him angry and frustrated every time he sees Y/N and Shoko react like that. Not dwelling in those thoughts, he went straight to report to Yaga.

"I wouldn't be mistaken with Geto's residuals, sensei" he says.

And just a few seconds he blurted out those words, Yaga let out a curse.

"Gather all the grade 1 sorcerers and above!" He commanded and rushed down.

Geto just arrived and declared war.

"Don't touch my students, Suguru" Gojo said as he went near Yuta.

"Satoru! It's been a while" he greeted, then saw everbody else behind.

"Y/N-san, you're a teacher here now too" he added. "It's been a while, you too Shoko" 

"Geto" Y/N stepped forward and put Maki behind her. She heard how he insulted the girl.

"What are you doing here?" She questioned.

"I can't visit my alma mater?"

"Sorry, I don't know much about jujutsu yet, but I won't let you insult my friends" Yuta spoke.

"Ah, I didn't mean to make it that way" Geto replied to the boy.

"Aaaah! Geto-sama! The store's closing soon!" One of the girls accompanying Geto shouted.

"I don't see what's so interesting about a place full of monkeys" he comments.

"Well, I have to go" Geto smiled at all of them.

"What makes you think we'll let you escape?" Gojo said.

Then the curses started appearing beside them.

"I have your students in my grasp" he says. "Until then, 24th of December, in Shinjuku and Kyoto, it'll be a wonderful night for all of us, let's curse each other with our heart's content"

And with that, they flew away, leaving everyone behind.

Y/N clenched her fists. Then looked at Gojo who had a serious look on his face.

She's fully aware he's hurt.

She clicked her tongue in annoyance, her intuition earlier was right once again.
