Over the past year, Mob had been participating in fewer and fewer exorcisms and Spirits n' Such. That wasn't to say that he didn't come to the office. On the contrary, he felt as though he spent more time at the office than he did awake in his own home. However, whether it be due to Serizawa's slightly less dubious employment status or because of his efforts to train his book smarts as well as his body, Reigen simply didn't ask Mob to come along to an exorcism unless there was a truly dangerous spirit. Not that he minded, of course. Thanks to Teruki's help, his grades had gone from abysmal to slightly above average and Dimple, Tome, Ritsu, and the various customers that were tricked by Reigen more than contributed to the lively atmosphere. Even now, there was a lady whose hands had apparently been in a lot of pain for the past few days.

"Mhm... And you say that a spirit is the cause of this?"

The woman nodded repeatedly at Reigen with a worried expression.

"Yes, I think that that's the reason! Whenever I use my quirk, my hands start hurting and don't stop for at least an hour! This has to be something supernatural!"

"Hm... I see... How often do you use your quirk?"

The woman appeared to think to herself for a few moments before giving a shrug.

"It lets me extend my fingers and limbs to be really long, so I use it around the house a lot. Like, if I'm reaching for something, or if I don't want to get out of bed to plug in my phone. It's a little uncomfortable when I'm using arms that are 2 metres long to dice onions, but it's better than crying."

Reigen nodded along while she spoke and when she finished,

"I see, I see. Well, fear not for I, Reigen Arataka, will purge you of any and all spiritual ailments you may have!"

Mob looked at the client, looked at Reigen, then looked back at the client before speaking up.

"Uh, Master Reigen? I don't think I sense any-"

"Focus on your high school applications, Mob."

"Right, sorry."

"Don't apologize to me. I'm just reminding you to focus on your future."

Serizawa was the next to speak up.

"I think he has a point though, boss. To me, this sounds like a normal muscle ache-"

"Silence! I am Reigen Arataka, greatest psychic of the 21st century! Now, come with me. I'll definitely be able to rid you of your ailments, onee-san."

The woman was happily escorted away by Reigen to another room and everyone present heard the door lock behind him. Ritsu seemed slightly uneasy from this.

"Is anyone worried?"

Serizawa shook his head.

"If nothing else, Boss has the most professionalism I've ever seen."

Meanwhile, on the inside...

"Spirit-purging rub!"

This is Reigen's special move where Reigen literally just gives the client a normal arm and hand massage.

"That'll be 10000 yen."

One happy customer later, Reigen flopped down at his seat with a sigh.

"That was easier than I expected. So, how're your applications going, Mob?"

Mob leaned back from his laptop, not taking his gaze off of the ceiling as he spoke.
