WellSpring of Curses - Jujutsu Kaisen

Training and Jogo

Haku was lying face down on the sofa while Gojo gave Yuji a crash course in cursed energy and cursed technique. She peeked over the edge of the arm of the sofa when Yuji dramatically flopped to the floor, disappointed to hear cursed technique was innate and he did not seem to have one. Haku was not entirely sure that was accurate, but his and Sukuna's cursed energies were far too mingled and she had never met Yuji before he was bound with Sukuna. Yuji jumped back up when Gojo mentioned using cursed energy in his physical attacks, stating he had done it once before when fighting the Special Grade curse. Haku really could not recall, she was far too focused on not dying at the time. He attempted a demonstration, but fell short. darn. Gojo then explained how emotions factor into using cursed energy.

"Oh!" Yuji hit his fist into his hand, struck with an idea. "Is that why Fushiguro always looks ticked off?"

Pfft. Haku covered her mouth trying not to laugh out loud. Gojo was actually trying to play the good sensei, and Haku hated to ruin that flow, mostly for Yuji's sake. Gojo thankfully brushed it off, but was obviously amused. He continued his cursed energy 101. Haku imagined Megumi was looking around irked wherever he was. Gojo then layed movies out on the table before them.

"Watching movies?" Yuji questioned the blindfolded sorcerer.

"Yep." Gojo answered before producing a stuffed teddy bear with boxing gloves. "And you'll be doing it with this guy."

Haku sat up. She recognized the cursed energy and the style of doll. It was totally cute! "Oh, wow it's cute! It has the principal's cursed energy! I want one too!"

"Cute?" Gojo said, confused. Coming from the girl with a hammerhead shark plushie, maybe it was cute. He reminded himself he was likely to blame for her strange taste.

Yuji took the toy and looked it over. It appeared to be sleeping, comical snot bubble appearing from its nose and all. Suddenly the bubble popped and the doll punched Yuji in the face, leaving the boy screaming and holding his nose. Haku grimaced. She totally felt that. "Never mind. Don't think I want one anymore."

Gojo chuckled. Per usual, he gave the explanation a little too late. "Yeah, if you don't keep a steady flow of cursed energy going through it, it'll punch you. Like I said, you'll be watching movies and have to control your emotions and cursed energy during them. For now I've set it to the low amount of cursed energy you can output, but it will increase as time goes on." He picked up a movie and bent down in front of the TV to stick it into the DVD player. "I recommend this movie first. The heroine is annoying, but her death is amazing."

Yuji was trying his best to calm the bear with his cursed energy while Gojo explained. "Spoilers dude!" He exclaimed when Gojo gave away a key point of the movie. He was then punched in the face by the bear again. Haku could no longer hold it in and laughed.  Yuji chucked the bear across the room angrily. "Give one to Haku-san too! I wanna see her get punched for laughing!"

Haku ducked down behind the sofa, hissing like a cat. Gojo stood back, the movie ready to play. "Well she can already use her cursed energy and some of her technique. I'll let her watch some movies with you, but for the most part she will be training with me to improve her fighting style and her cursed technique. You'll also be doing some training with me when you're not watching movies, Itadori."

Haku blinked, standing up from her crouched spot behind the sofa. "I was wondering what the point in me being here was. Still, wouldn't it just be better for me to go back to school to train?"

"To be blunt, you're a horrible liar." Gojo stated point blank, causing Haku to narrow her eyes. "Let me finish. You are far too kind and there's no way you'd be able to keep Itadori being alive from Megumi and Kugisaki or anybody else for that matter." Gojo changed to a teasing tone, fake crying. "I mean how could you lie to their poor grieving faces." He returned to normal. "Besides, you've not had a lot of training over all. I mean, no focus on anything more than the basics. "
