_________________

"Okaka..." the boy said. "Huh?" You were confuse, why did this man said fish flakes as a respond. You tilt your head to the side and ask him what did he meant by that, he shook his head left to right and went inside his room.

You felt nervous thinking maybe you said something wrong or you're being to talkative. You sighed and went inside your room as well. You put down your purse and put some pajamas on. You tried dialing your mom again but no one answered. You turned off your phone and lay down on your bed. You stared on the ceiling feeling bored.

After a moment you heard a knock on your door and got up to answer it. "Konbu" the boy from earlier said. He was holding his phone to your face and you read it "Hello" it said. You smiled at him "Hi!" you respond and gestured him to enter your room. He type something on his phone and showed it to you "Sorry can't. Need rest" it said.

You put your hands up and said it was fine "N-no need to apologize". He nodded and typed "Good night"

"Good night!" you said and you watch him enter his room again and close your door. You realize you didn't get to ask his name and just thought you'll ask tomorrow.

You went back to your bed and not for long you fell asleep.

...

You woke up from the sound of your alarm. You made sure to set an alarm so that you won't be late again like what happened yesterday. You got up, fixed your bed and taken a bath. You comb your hair and tied it in a ponytail, you put on your old uniform again and put on a tinted lip balm and sat on your bed. You look at your phone but no reply from your mother.

You heard a knock on your door and got up Immediately and saw the boy from last night "tuna tuna" he said pointing at the exit of the dormitory. "Oh! Good morning. W-what did you say?" you sweat drop and rub your neck. He typed on his phone and showed it to you "Breakfast?" you finally understood and said yes. You locked your door and walk beside him.

"I never knew your name, may I know?" you ask while walking towards the cafeteria "Mmm, Inumaki Toge" he said and look at the floor. "That's a lovely name!" you said and smiled at him and he nodded. You both went inside the cafeteria and he pointed at the table with a big panda and green haired girl. You felt happy knowing that there's a fellow female. You both went up to the table and take a seat.

"Who's this Toge?" The girl with green hair said "Tuna mayo~" he respond while taking a seat "A transferred student?" the panda said almost in shock. You were surprised and confuse at the same time. "U-uhm?" you spoke and they all looked at you "You can understand him? And also... how are you able to talk?" you asked the Panda.

"Better introduce ourselves first! I'm Panda, this is Zenin Maki, she's a master in wielding different curse weapons, and this is Inumaki Toge, I believe you already met him. He's a cursed speech user so he can only speak onigiri ingredients to prevent cursing us" Panda explained.

You understood and nodded "You? Who are you?" Maki questioned "My name's Nishimura Y/N" you said with a smile "And?" Maki added "A-and uhm I recently transferred here. I didn't really thought about coming here to be honest, it was all so fast. Yesterday I'm just a normal girl living a normal life then the second day I'm a healer" you told them and sweat drop "Mmm I see" Maki nodded.

...

Then suddenly Maki slammed her polearm on her arm. You where shock to see her slammed it so hard "Okaka!" Inumaki yelled "M-maki -" Panda was shock too and got cut off. "Heal me" Maki told you with a serious tone, you gulp and held her arm gently.

There was a silence for a moment then they saw that your hands are glowing and not for long the bruise on Maki's arm healed. "That's cool" Maki said you only nodded and felt nervous on her bossy and masculine personality. "What do you want to eat? It's my treat" she told you with a slight smile.

Maki got up from her seat and bought the breakfast. "So Y/N how come you're a second year like us?" Panda asked. You thought of an answer for a moment and shook you head left to right "I-I have no idea" you replied shyly "I just know that I'm Ieiri's student. But I don't really know that person" You added. Maki came back and gave you (Food of choice). You saw that Inumaki pull down the zipper and revealed the curse mark on both of his cheek you also saw that there's a mark on his tongue when he opened his mouth to eat. "What does it feel?" you asked Inumaki "Tuna?" he tilt his head "The curse mark. Does it hurt?" you heard him chuckle a little and shook his head "Okaka" he replied "He said No" Panda translated.

"I wanna learn your way of language" You told Inumaki and smiled at him. Inumaki felt warm that your willing to even though you just met. You all ate and get to know each other, Laugh and tell stories.

You are having a good time. Everyone is so nice. You love your new friends.

Everyone went silent when Gojo went to the four of you "How is everyone?" he asked taking a seat next to you. You all told him you are just finishing eating and will soon head to class. You nodded but Gojo held your shoulder "Nope. Not you Y/N" he declared "Eh?" You're confuse and he said "You're visiting the clinic to meet Ieiri" and grin. You felt sad that you're not joining with your new friends. "Why?" Maki and Panda ask the same time "Well Y/N doesn't really need to practice her combats and more on supporting all of you. She needs to study more about medicine and body parts first with the help of Ieiri and then practice her magical healing powers" Gojo explained with bright eyes when he mentioned 'Magical Healing Powers'.

You looked down and sighed. Gojo then left and told everyone do not be late even though he's the one who is always late. You are not really good at directions, you're lucky that when you went out yesterday to explore some parts of the dormitory and outside you manage to find your room. "I don't know where the clinic is" you said with a worried look. "Salmon" Inumaki tap your shoulder and point outside the cafeteria "He's also going there to get a new cough syrup. He'll show you the way" Panda said and you nodded.

They all left. You and Inumaki walk together to the clinic. "Inumaki-kun" you called him, he looked at you and hummed in response "Do you think I'll fit in here" you asked looking down "Salmon" he nodded. It was silent but it wasn't awkward. Something about him made you feel comfortable. Maybe his soft and kind presence.

You both stop in front of a metal door and knock. Inumaki turn the knob and went inside. You kinda felt nervous to meet this Ieiri person. Inumaki gestured you to get in as well.

"What can I do for both of you?" A woman in a lab coat asked.
