Gojo's POV

I can feel my blood boiling through my veins as she plays dumb. Just a little more, I have to scare her a little more. My fist dents the wall next to her. Is this even working? What am I even expecting from her, a confession? She isn't guilty of anything yet, is she? Her empty eyes that were analyzing me look away, her pupils blown. My sixth eye feels the cursed energy of my friends.

Did you realize too?

..."Don't act like you didn't notice what happened in the cafeteria." I look at my friends coming closer and curse in my head. I turn to see them, they are already picking up the pace towards us. They just had to come stick their noses where they don't belong. How do I even explain this to them?

"Hey, just bullying her because I am worried this pathetic excuse for a sorcerer could kill me in my sleep." Laughable.

"Please," I hear a sniffle. "I don't know what you are talking about."

My eyes dart back to her, and a chuckle escapes my mouth. This little scheming bitch.

Are you crying?

Suguru drags me back by my collar, like I'm some type of wild animal, but I think it's for the best that he did. As my eyes are glued to hers, I swear I can see it. My breathing sharpens. Did she just fucking smile? I swear I can feel the thread in my brain snapping, and now I'm thankful Suguru is here. My jaw clenches as I swallow the need to erase that look off her stupid face.

Breathe.

"Let me go," I whisper to him.

"Past that already, what the hell is wrong with you?" Suguru drags me further away, am I a bag of flour? I push his hands off, standing up. I don't want to look him in the eye, so I just stare back at her. I shouldn't feel this angry. Why do I actually want to go hurt her right now? She is getting treated like a damsel in distress.

Breathe. Breath, Satoru....

"She touched me," I whisper to him.

"Are you insane? You did this because she touched you?!" Suguru stands in front of me, blocking my line of sight of her.

"You don't get it... I accidentally bumped into her last week." I place my hand on him, my limitless blocking my movement. "She fucking touched me."

Suguru's eyes widen, finally realizing what I mean. "Are you sure it-"

"I'm pretty sure it was on." I yank my hair back in frustration.

"Pretty sure isn't 100% sure. Then right now, did she also touch you?"

I crouch to the floor and sigh. "No... she did not... I'm pretty sure she changed something back in the classroom; her cursed energy... it got stronger." I rub my eyes and look for my sunglasses.

"That still doesn't mean," he pauses, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "The chances of her, of all people, having actual ability are slim." Suguru looks towards the infirmary. "She almost got herself killed when she got placed in a fight with a Grade 4 curse... Yaga doesn't even let her go on missions anymore. All she has is a bit of cursed energy; she got into this school through nepotism for fuck's sake."

I stand up and look towards the infirmary, not before noticing our teacher Yaga standing there, looking at me.

I put my sunglasses on and decide its best to go home. I do not wanna deal with him or the elders right now.

"I am out," I say before turning around heading towards the dorm.

"Satoru, hey Satoru!"

Suguru yells as I walk away but thankfully stays behind. I walk alone attempting to clear my thoughts but Yaga's expression stays on my mind. I assumed he would look pissed, maybe call on me; I threatened her precious daughter, after all. So why am I not getting an earful? He is just standing there with a blank expression as I leave. Why...
