12 - 'I feel something'

Yuji

It's funny. How I can change from being absolutely lost in my feelings to flirting my ass off with whatever confidence I have.

I didn't expect any of this when I asked her to hang out for a bit, and honestly I quite like it.

For whatever reason, I don't want to leave Auroras side. So I'm happy that we're going together.

Her and me are now walking towards the training grounds. And I'm surprised to see all of the second years there when we arrive.
I've heard they're being send on missions constantly so I don't see them around often.

It's kind of frustrating really, it feels like the higher ups think us first years aren't good enough to defeat strong cursed spirits. I know we're strong enough damn it.

I'm kind of confident in my skills, and the rest of the first years are undeniably powerful, which isn't exactly ordinary. And we're such a good team together, it makes us even better.

They're doing some kind of group training I don't even want to get into. I've got to admit, it looks pretty impressive.

"Look, don't worry about them being here. They're focused on themselves anyway so you don't have to feel watched"
I tell Aurora, remembering how she was insecure about her training.

I know she is a little behind us but she's also the newest member here. And I honestly think she's really improving, although I haven't seen her use her cursed technique that much.

"Yeah, I'll be fine" she shrugs. I smile because I know she going to be fine today.

"Good"

I can't help but watch Aurora as we train. I like the little muscle that is forming on her arms, now that she's really training harder. The ponytail she's wearing really brings out her face, which honestly makes her look beautiful even when she's training her ass off.

I force myself to look away and concentrate on my own because otherwise, I won't get much done today.

Today, I'll improve. I need to. I can't be the only one who relies on others.

So that's why I'm going to work on my cursed technique. I've avoided it long enough.
I was just scared about not being able to do it, and the thought of being watched only creeps me out.

I know my technique is unique, I know that. I just feel like it's useless if I don't even know how to use it properly.

When Gojo was still around, I could ask all kinds of questions and he would answer them happily. But now I'm just stuck, I don't know half of what the heck I'm doing.

My cursed technique is called Lethal Plant Control. It's everything that has to do with plants. I can create plants from cursed energy. Or channel the energy on already existing plants so that I have control over them. I can also take the energy away from them so that I can use it to my advantage, like making my strikes more powerful or providing more energy for other curse users.

Talk about any kind of poison, I can make it.
At least not yet.
That's what makes it so difficult. There are so many options and things you have to think about.

With every single strike, I have to break my brain over what to do. It isn't a simple technique and you have to study and observe it for hours to even understand a little bit.
