Year 2017 - March

(AN: In Japan, the school year begins in April, the second semester in September, and the last in January. Go figure)

Gojo Satoru POV

Hmm, I think it's about time to tell Yaga about that, and he said needed to talk to me in a few minutes, so it's perfect.

I walk to his office that he uses as a workshop for his puppet creation and entered.

"Gojo, I commend you for not arriving late this time but knock next time!"

Wha~, what a tough attitude as always.

"Don't chastise me for every other reason, please~, well, why did you call me?"

"It's to talk about the new year students, what do you think of them?"

"Actually, is it alright to add one more?"

"One more student?"

"Yes~. The last five years I have been teaching him in secret after I saw him defeat a kind of powerful cursed spirit."

For now, it's better not to tell him that it was a weak but undoubtedly special grade curse, hehe.

"Oh~, can I ask why you kept it a secret?"

"Isn't it obvious? I didn't want those pesky old men to interfere."

"Adress those "old men" respectfully!!"

" *Chuckle* That's hilarious! No way!"

"Huff~, how about his reasons for being a sorcerer."

(AN: Should I continue to use sorcerer or should I change it to shaman? I think it's more accurate if it's shaman)

"Hmm~, from his actions I understood a few things. He hates seeing the strong pick on the weak and unreasonable or petty evil, so cursed spirits are the antithesis of his conscience and morals."

I looked at Yaga Masamichi, the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High, being silent for a few moments but I knew that he wouldn't refuse.

"Allowed, send me his information and achievements and help me fill the paperwork."

What a pain~!

"What a pain~!"

"It's just the consequence of your actions, now tell me about the rest of the students."

...

Huff, how boring filling the paperwork is.

"By the way, Gojo, does Tetsuo-kun have an innate technique and what grade does he deserve?"

"He does, but it's a secret, and he deserves special grade"

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

"What?"

"Oh, didn't I tell you, the curse I saw him beat to death was special grade, hehe."

"Wasn't that five years ago, he was ten at that time right? How powerful is his technique?"

Watching the amazed Yaga, I answered.

"YuP and he didn't use it to beat it."

As always. watching the slightest amount of loss of composure in Yaga's face amuses me to no end.

'Another monster is joining, but that's what we need the most at this time, monsters.'

"If you want to keep it a secret we can't give him the special grade, but we can give him grade one and he will still have to go through the exam missions."

"If that's what it takes, then okay~"

Gojo Satoru POV ended

This last year Katsuo's basics progressed by leaps and bounds, he now could turn his negative emotions directly into cursed energy so he didn't have to worry about losing focus because of them, his CE manipulation and concentration were also at a whole new level. Now, he could constantly create positive energy and circulate it all over his body, and because the rate of using CE for it was only a little higher than what he recovered, he only needed to occasionally take a CE recovery pill and, basically, he was never fatigued and the need to sleep was something of the past Katsuo liked the feeling of surpassing himself and transcending the woes of normal people and he waited the day where he could perform it with the minimal amount of CE needed so that he could abandon the support of recovery pills.

There was still a few months left for the Binding Vow to end and he was still improving. He wondered if until the end of the vow he could elevate his energy manipulation to a standard where he could effortlessly pull that stuff, but even if he wasn't he was already satisfied with his progress.

Katsuo has also physically grown a lot, he has become a 180 cm tall teenager with solid and clean-cut muscles. Right now he was wearing baggy pants, a tight inner sweater where he could pull its neck and it becomes a mask that covered the lower part of his face and a baggy uniform jacket over it.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

It was edgy, it was dark and didn't get in the way of his movement. He loved it.

"Yes, I like it."

"That's good, it was me that designed it you know, I have such good taste"

Katsuo ignored Gojo's brag and waved his family goodbye, they already had long talks about this so there was no need for unnecessary drama, only his sister was still bitter that they wouldn't see each other as much as before.

"I'm ready Gojo-sensei"

They disappeared from the front of Katsuo's house and appeared in the mountains, in the foothills of Mt. Mushiro, the entrance of Tokyo Jujutsu High as Gojo had told him before.

"Let's go, we have to walk the rest of the way."

He nodded, guessing that some barrier prevented or created a commotion if Gojo directly teleporting inside.

They walked and passed through some traditional Japanese buildings before entering one of them.

Inside, Gojo took him to a classroom where his future classmates were.

Panda, Zenin Maki and Inumaki Toge.

Katsuo already knew that he would be their classmate, after all, the plot of the anime begins in 2018 and he is in 2017, so he wasn't that surprised, but he was still surprised, after all, it's not everyday you see a being that looks like a panda and talks.

"Hi, I'm Panda nice to meet"

"Kelp"

Panda traduced that for him.

"He is Inumaki Toge, his cursed technique doesn't allow him to normally speak words except onigiri ingredients."

Inumaki nodded and Katsuo nodded back.

"I'm Zenin Maki, don't mention my clan to me."

Panda came close to whisper in my ear.

"She doesn't get along with them."

"Shut up, Panda."

Katsuo only smiled at their antics and introduced myself

"Nice to meet you, I'm Tetsuo Katsuo, no clan affiliation."

"Well, and I'm Gojo Satoru, introductions are over, and even though some of you knew each other from before and some didn't you are now classmates so get along well, we will begin the first lesson of your first year in TJH. Self-study~! Get familiar with each other and fraternize or train, I have something to do, so I'm going now."

They all looked speechlessly at his back as he walked away.

Then, they looked at each other and Panda asked.

"What should we do now?"

Maki answered him.

"Let's go to the training grounds, I want to see how strong everyone is."

Nobody refused so they went to the open space behind the school building while making small talk on the way, like what swords do you like the most or what was the strongest curse you ever exorcised, etc. Gojo already told him what to keep secret so he knew what he shouldn't say.

They reached there shortly after and Panda immediately started asking the most important questions.

"What type of girl do you like? Do you prefer big or small?"

While making groping actions with his hands.
