First Person's POV:

I was leisurely walking to the school, taking my sweet time to get there. I was in no hurry to get there quicker and deal with two teenagers and a man child.

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. Me personally, I couldn't give a crap less. Whether a random brat dies or lives is no matter deserving of my concern. Besides, he should've known better than to eat a Cursed object that probably tasted like charcoal and depression.

The reason I was going, was because of Satoru. 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 mentally interrupted myself as the school building came into view. I habitually gave Kaburamaru a head pat and went straight to the student dorms where Satoru had told me they'd all 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 his back towards 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 silently walked behind Satoru. Noticing a presence behind him, he turned around and flinched and screamed like a little girl who's just watched a horror movie for the first time in her life. I glared at him because of his loudness.

"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. His yell made me pause. "You don't have your infinity on." I stated, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes well, I'd be an asexual psycho to pass up the opportunity to be touched by you." He grinned, while I ignored him.

"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's grin widened and he put an arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer as I tried to shove him. A few struggles later, I failed and 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, 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, nearly smacking Kaburamaru in the process. 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, his arm still wrapped tightly around the woman's shoulder as he pulled her closer and affectionately ruffled her hair. The woman seemed to have a permanent scowl etched into her face. "[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 a good friend of mine! 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...... How in the hell he was good friends with the woman. She had the expression of someone who'd been dragged out of bed barely ten minutes before their alarm rang. She looked like she'd jump at the opportunity to kill all of us and live alone in the woods.

"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. The snake on her shoulder looked at her, blinking cutely and taking in her expression before he turned to me and hissed as well.

".....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! 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 us, 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.
