First Person's POV:

I ran to the school as quickly as I could, panting slightly due to my earlier mission. Poor Kaburamaru hung on for dear life, wrapped around my neck and I apologetically patted his head. "Forgive me, Kaburamaru."

Satoru had just informed me about some idiot boy who'd eaten Sukuna's finger. He was interested in him since the boy could supposedly control the King of Curses.

He seriously never knew when to stop and always got me worried. Sure, it was an admirable trait, but he could get himself killed one of these days. I can't bear to lose him too, not after what happened with Suguru.

Not that he'd let me care anyways. He always shook me off, saying I was being a baby and that nothing would happen to him since he was the strongest.

Still, I couldn't help but worry about him. He was only 17 when the homeless fucker ruined our lives. He's never been the same since. He'd never admit it but he really needs help, although he never lets anyone help when they try. Suguru was the only one who's words ever got through to him. After his death, Satoru simply pretended to be happy. He distanced himself from everyone. It was as if he was broken glass that was only held up by duct tape and threatened to break at any moment but never did.

I sighed as I saw myself nearing the school. As soon as I entered the gates, I slowed myself, now walking. I didn't want to seem unprofessional so I needed to be composed and not be panting for breaths like a dog.

Patting my uniform down and setting my jacket, I made a beeline for the student dorms where Satoru told me they'd be. When I entered the empty building, I could already hear him giggling as well as another voice, accompanied by Megumi grumbling about something. I followed the source of the voices, keeping my footsteps light and ultimately reached the boys' wing. Satoru was standing with back facing me while Megumi was in front of him, facing me. Another pink-haired boy was standing beside Megumi, sneaking peeks inside his room as Megumi slammed the door hard on the poor child's face.

I quietly crept up behind Satoru and gestured for Megumi to keep quiet. I put a hand on Satoru's shoulder, "unintentionally" scaring him.

He jumped, hair nearly touching the ceiling and screamed like a little girl who's just watched a horror movie for the first time in her life.

"Wahhhhh!! [Name]-chan! You can't do that, I almost got a heart attack! Besides, if you wanted to scare me, your face would've been enough lol."

Surely it would've been weird for the new boy to see a man that was far from being a Gen-z stating 'lol' out loud.

I scowled elbowing him in the stomach as he yelled a response, which was a mixture of pain and protest, and almost got surprised that he even let me hurt him. He didn't have his infinity on.

"Who's the idiot?", I asked frowning questioningly at the boy with pink hair as he cowered at the sight of the snake on my shoulders.

Satoru grinned and put an arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer as I tried to shove him. Failing to do so, I simply flipped him off.

He chuckled at this and turned to the boys. "This, right here, is your other teacher, besides me. Her name is Iguro [Name]. [Name]-chan, this is Itadori Yuji-kun. He's the one I told you about."

I nodded in understanding. "The brat who ate Sukuna's finger? And you brought him here?"

I glared at the white-haired man, who looked like a deer in headlights. He laughed nervously. "I took extreme measures to prevent him from turning. Besides, he can control the King of Curses so I thought he'd be useful as a vessel!"

I looked at him judgingly, not trusting his words. "By extreme measures, you mean you threatened the old bastards to let him study? You know they're just gonna try and kill him if they get the chance, right?"

"That's why either of us will stick beside them at all times!"

I raised an eyebrow. "What if I want him dead too?"

He laughed. "No! You're way too much of a puss-"

This time, his infinity stopped my kick from blowing his head off. He chuckled softly at this, knowing I'd try to attack one way or another. What can he expect anyways? I am not a pussy. I'm not scared of anything. I'm a Special Grade sorcerer for Christ's sake.

I sighed, standing straight again and patted my jacket down, giving Kaburamaru a scratch. I looked at the pinkette.

Yuji's POV:

The lady was awfully creepy. She was pretty but something about her screamed dangerous.

"What's your name, boy?" she asked.

"I-Itadori Yuji, ma'am!" I stuttered.

Gojo-sensei laughed, wrapping an arm around the woman who scowled at him. "[Name]-chan! We don't need you scaring our students now! Yuji-kun! I introduce to you......... Iguro [Name]! She's currently a Special Grade sorcerer and she's my best friend too! You'll have lots to learn from her so make sure to keep up, yes?"

"Yes, Sensei!" I yelled. I would do anything possible to ensure people got fitting ends. After all, I was strong. Grandpa said so. He told me to help the weak and I intend to do just that.

However one thing I was curious about was......

"Sensei?"

"Hmm?" Gojo-sensei replied as played with the snake on the lady's shoulder.

"How do you even get along with her?"

I felt a glare on myself and nervously looked at Iguro-san, who stood glaring daggers at me.

"............What was that, you punk?"

Gojo-sensei laughed nervously, trying to ease the tension. "Believe it or not, Yuji-kun, [Name]-chan is actually very considerate of people she likes. I used to think she hated me but I was the first among our friends to get a gift from her!"

Iguro-san stared at him in disbelief, slightly blushing at the hidden praise. "Gojo, he's implying that I'm not easy to get along with."

"No way! If you're sweet, she'll put up with you. Everyone loves sweet things! And if you want her to really like you, be nice to her and be respectful! I've cracked the code after years of dealing with her mood swings. Sometimes, she's a total Tsundere." Gojo-sensei said this while leaning in towards them, as if he was revealing a secret.

Iguro-san looked at him in betrayal and her fist was once again stopped by his infinity as he giggled at her.
