I was on a mission with him. Or rather, he had brought a Grade 4 cursed spirit along. It was hideous. Fat and 6 meters tall, it was covered in rolls of flesh, eyes bulging out, muttering something incomprehensible. I swallowed hard at the sight.
He glanced at me. "Are you scared?"
I scoffed. "No, it just looks really disgusting."
He grinned. "There are far more disgusting ones out there."
I grimaced, my mind conjuring up even worse scenarios. I sighed.
He crossed his arms over his chest. "Absorb its power."
I looked at him, taking a deep breath, then turned my gaze back to the monster. Its eyes locked onto me as I extended my arm towards it. Closing my eyes, I focused. I could feel the concentrated energy around me. My hair began to rise.
I needed to connect with the monster!
I searched, searched, searched.
There it was!
I could feel its cursed energy flowing into me.
It felt so fulfilling... so good... like I was being recharged.
I grinned slyly.
I felt free!
As I completely absorbed its energy, the monster panicked, attacking me with its inhuman hand. I grew serious and shot it back with its own energy, which pierced it, causing it to fall to the ground and slowly disintegrate.
Eagerly, I turned to Gojo, my eyes probably gleaming with excitement. "How was I?"
He clapped his hands. "Very good, you're learning fast."
He pushed off from the wall, and I felt genuinely pleased every time he praised me... like a little girl.
He ruffled my hair, letting his hand glide through it as if he wanted to feel its texture. I looked up at him.
Too bad he was wearing his blindfold.
He finally removed his hand, placed it on my shoulder, and we returned to the training field.
I stretched. "Is that it?"
He nodded. "For today, yes. I don't want you to overstrain your power."
I nodded back. "See you tomorrow then."
"See you tomorrow."
We went our separate ways.
Apparently, he wasn't going home today... strange. I wondered where he was going.
