Chapter 10: Welcome to Jujutsu High
After the funeral of Yuji's grandpa, four of them set off together to their new destination.
Gojo who has planing to teach (Mischievous sheennigans)to his newfound students (toys),
Akira, who was dragged by Gojo himself.
Yuji, who wished to fulfill his grandfather's last wish.
Megumi, who only wanted to rest.
The atmosphere was surreal as Akira trailed behind Gojo, Megumi, and Yuji. The towering gates of Jujutsu High loomed ahead, radiating an ominous energy that only added to his anxiety. He tugged at his collar nervously.
"So, uh… this is the prestigious Jujutsu High, huh?" Akira muttered, trying to mask his unease.
"Yup!" Gojo replied cheerfully, hands in his pockets. "And don't worry. As my genius protégé, you'll fit right in."
"Genius? Who's—" Akira froze mid-sentence. "Wait, are you talking about me?"
"Of course!" Gojo winked. "After all, you did survive a fight with Sukuna. That puts you almost on my level."
Akira's face paled. "Please stop spreading misinformation. I'm not even remotely close to your level!"
Ignoring his protests, Gojo continued, addressing Yuji and Megumi. "This guy right here? Secret weapon material. Can you believe he's already using Limitless techniques and Reverse Cursed Energy? The kid's a prodigy!"
Yuji looked genuinely impressed, while Megumi just sighed.
"Why does that sound more like a death sentence?" Akira mumbled, dragging his feet.
As they entered the school grounds, Gojo clapped his hands loudly. "Alright, time for introductions!"
He proceeded to recount every single one of Akira's feats during their brief time together, exaggerating wildly. "And then, with Sukuna bearing down on him, he activated his technique like a total pro! Froze Sukuna right in place! Genius-level stuff!"
Akira groaned inwardly. "Please stop…"
Unbeknownst to Akira, Sukuna, still listening from inside Yuji, chuckled darkly.
"This idiot is your secret weapon? Don't make me laugh."
Gojo smirked. "Oh, don't act like you're not intrigued, Sukuna. I saw how you looked at him."
"Looked at him? More like I was sizing up how pathetic he is." Sukuna's voice dripped with mockery.
"Can you not talk about me?" Akira hissed under his breath. "You're terrifying enough without the running commentary."
Sukuna chuckled. "You're amusing, brat. I'll enjoy watching you fumble around like the fool you are."
Akira groaned, clutching his head. "Great. The King of Curses has a front-row seat to my humiliation. Just what I needed."
"Keep talking," Gojo replied, his grin widening. "But I know you're curious. Admit it, you can't figure him out either."
Akira, oblivious to the back-and-forth, was busy contemplating his escape route.
"Well, who's Sukuna?" Yuji asked.
While Gojo and Yuji conversed, Megumi returned to his dorm to sleep, and Kira observed Jujutsu High and the surrounding area deeply.
The group eventually made their way to Masamachi Yaga's office. The Principal, a tall and imposing figure, sat at his desk with a cursed puppet by his side. He eyed Yuji critically.
"You're 8 minutes late, Satoru," he began with his usual criticism.
Then, "So," Yaga began, "you ate Sukuna's finger."
Yuji nodded. "Yes, sir."
Akira leaned over to Gojo and whispered, "Why does he sound like a strict parent who just caught his kid stealing cookies?"
Yuji gave him a flat look. "You're not helping."
The conversation quickly escalated when Yaga summoned one of his cursed puppets. "Convince me why you deserve to stay here."
Akira's eyes widened as he watched Yuji get thrown into a fight with the cursed teddy bear. "Is this how you handle new students?!"
Yuji struggled against the puppet, delivering a heartfelt speech about wanting to help others. Akira, meanwhile, was losing his mind in the background. Who fights a cursed teddy bear as an entrance exam?!
Finally, Yuji triumphed, earning Yaga's approval. As the Principal turned to Akira, the latter straightened his posture and cleared his throat.
"Right, my turn. I prepared a little speech for this—"
Yaga raised a hand, cutting him off. "No need. Gojo already vouched for you."
Akira froze mid-breath, the speech he'd mentally rehearsed vanishing into thin air.
Gojo leaned in, grinning. "What's wrong? Weren't you ready to pour your heart out?"
Akira glared at him. "I spent the entire time coming up with that speech!"
"Should've spent it watching Yuji get beaten down," Gojo replied nonchalantly.
Before the meeting concluded, Yaga gestured toward a cursed puppet standing in the corner.
It attacked Akira with the same intensity as Yuji, but every time, it missed.
Akira danced around the room like an experienced fighter.
"Why is it chasing me?!" Akira yelled, running in circles around the room.
"Because I want to," Yaga replied calmly.
Gojo leaned against the wall, laughing. "Look at him go! He's a natural at dodging."
"I'm not dodging! I'm running for my life!"
Akira collapsed onto the floor, gasping for breath.
"Alright," he muttered to himself. "New world, new rules. I just have to keep a low profile, avoid fights, and maybe—just maybe—survive long enough to go home."
The system chimed in his head.
[System Alert: Goal impossible. Prepare for chaos.]
Akira buried his face in his hands. "I hate this world."

Later, Akira and Yuji left, leaving Gojo with Yaga in the office filled with cursed puppets.
Yaga asked Gojo, "Are you sure about this?"
"This thing is really Complicated"
"Also The higher-ups won't like this," Gojo was also aware of this fact.
"It doesn't matter. I'm the strongest.".With those words, Gojo left.
"And It won't be long", Gojo murmurred
"Blood is not just thicker than water for no reason," Yaha muttered to himself. "You can't just wash it out. The smell... it will always follow you,like a curse."
