Your efforts will not be in vain, I swear <3

This is a really fun and fluffy chapter, so hopefully all of you enjoy it in the midst of this turbulent month for everyone!

[¥¥¥]

You feel like you were scammed.

Are your first few days in Jujutsu High supposed to be....

Boring?

A part of you expected to meet more people—maybe some other sorcerers who weren't part of the canon. Or maybe do a training montage; you know? See how much you need to learn about the ins and outs of jujutsu sorcery.

But nothing happened. No training montage, no catching up and meeting new people happened either.

Instead, you were stuck in your dorm the entire time. Cause in this world, the sorcerers are all busy exorcising the winter blues. And in this mountains, winter here has too much snow, you couldn't even explore the campus without being blown off by the snowstorm.

So yeah. You've just been stuck in your room for days, or wandering around the hallways all by yourself. Sometimes the cafeteria too, but even that took some absurd strength for you to force yourself to trudged to.

At least you and Shoko were bonding more than the others.

She helped you settle into the dorms perfectly well, despite being standoffish about "sentimental topics" that you didn't mind yapping about. You were used to that kind of personality though—with your own mother not even letting you say goodbye properly. It's as if she's allergic to her own feelings, to which you smiled, cause you knew how to handle people like that.

Sometimes you don't even need to speak together. It's just you and her, walking to the clinic, a few feet apart. Your eyes following the way her short hair swayed with her steps, wood letting out hollow sounds beneath you two. She would be deep in her thoughts while disinfecting her tools, and you would watch her from the side, handing her water afterwards and a quiet 'you did well' that she would hum in response to. Then she would invite you to go out and get some food, or if it's you who does the inviting, she would just ask to hang around your room instead.

You always accepted. So your room became hers, and it's now your hangout place too.

But where is her Wikipedia page? I thought I caught her attention a few days ago...

Since it was part of your abilities now, you tried your best to use it to its fullest potential. But you didn't understand how it worked yet—especially now, when Yaga and Shoko didn't have a page dedicated to their perspective about you even after you caught their attention in the first meeting.

Yaga, you can understand since you only gave him your welcome gift. But you've been spending time with Shoko more than the teacher lately, so why...

Oh whatever. That's a problem for the future you.

Aside from a boring school life, you haven't seen either Geto nor Gojo. The only reason you knew they still remembered your existence were the messages and pictures they sent.

Geto shared a bunch of landmarks he visited during his missions, along with some flirty texts that you were starting to get used to. Gojo, on the other hand, sent close-up selfies of his face from different angles. They were so close to the camera that you couldn't tell where he was, or if he was even in Japan.
