Preparing for battle required a certain state of mind. This was true of anyone, and it held true for you and Gojo as Jujutsu Sorcerers. Remaining neutral, in complete control of mind, body, emotions and therefor cursed energy.
This is the state you and Gojo were in. There were no nerves, no fear, no excitement. Eerily calm like the depths of still water.

It was especially important considering your opponents. Keeping a sharp mind could be the deciding factor in this fight.

Four people followed behind the two of you. Ginger, Ijichi, Utahime, and the old kyoto principal. They were in somewhat the same state. As the group of you descended the stairs, the students suddenly felt the weight you and Gojo were carrying on your shoulders. Their lighthearted moods were quickly flipped with the realization. All, except one.

"Gojo Sensei!" Yuji held up his hand, "Your cursed technique is in the way!" That bit of sunshine peeking through the cracks of your hard exteriors.

Gojo smiled before it turned into a big grin, hitching his thumb towards his back. "Give it your best shot!" Yuji gave a hearty slap to his back, one of belief and encouragement. The rest of the students followed, spirits suddenly at a high.

Your eyes widened as Yuji captured you in a hug, his arms tight around your middle.

Your eyes widened, looking down at the mess of black hair. Megumi had his arms tightly wrapped around you, face hidden in your abdomen.

"What's up Gumi Bear?" You asked, petting down his hair. He wasn't one for touch, much less this closely. If he was suddenly seeking it, you feared the reason.

"I had a bad dream." His voice was muffled against your clothing. But alas, sometimes you forgot he was only a child.

"Do you want to tell me about it?"

He shook his head slightly, "It was just bad. You left me."

You hummed, other arm wrapping around his shoulders. "I'll always be here to protect you from any more bad dreams Gumi! Don't worry."

Your arms tightly wrapped around Yuji, lips twitching up as the rest of the students joined. When everyone pulled away Yuji met your gaze, "You can do it Sensei!" Everyone cheered, following the two of you out of the building.

"Go get him, stupid blindfold!"

"Prove to us that you're more than just a pretty face!"

"Go get'em Sensei." Maki grinned, holding out her fist. You bumped it with a wink.

"Good luck." Nanami nodded.

You saluted, "Watch your role model, Nanamin." You made eye contact with Shoko before tossing the lighter her way, "Hold it for me?" She only smiled, shaking her head and stuffing it in her pocket.

"Win Gojo! Win Y/n!"

Gojo was grinning hard, his cheeks even flushed. "Roger that!"

At some point you stopped walking beside Gojo, placing your hand on his chest, heart steady under your palm. There was no blindfold to block his gaze, blue eyes piercing your own. "Good luck Satoru. Do your best."
