“Yaho, I'm here”
The white-haired man waved after stepping out from behind the pillar of the main gate, the distance was just right, the timing was perfect, Gojo felt that in the new student's eyes he must have looked super cool.
When he noticed a familiar figure appearing, the person who had always bowed his head to the ground slowly looked up. Perhaps even the owner of the ocean in the depths of his eyes did not know that a ray of morning light had accidentally penetrated. Not knowing when, an invisible string has connected two souls together.
'It's like I just picked up a little puppy, huh? He walks really slowly, doesn't he?'
Even though he felt sorry for his long, model-like legs that couldn't reach their full potential, Gojo still quietly watched the cursed child's first steps.
‘Welcome to your new life at Jujutsu High, Okkotsu Yuta-kun’
...
“Don't die~”
His humorous smile was obscured by the black curtain. The novice, who had never experienced actual combat before, panicked and tried to hold on to the instructor in vain.
The obnoxious smile was obscured by the black 'curtain', the novice who had never experienced actual combat panicked and tried to hold on to the instructor in vain.
“D–die?? Sensei!”
'Even if you're scared, there's no need to cling to that dumb blindfolded guy so much, right? It's too unsightly'
Maki clicked her tongue as she looked out of the corner of her eye. She hated people who relied on others the most. Seeing the lingering look of her cowardly classmate focusing on the stupid teacher who had already left the scene, Maki couldn't help but think to herself.
'Are you a dog calling for its owner? What kind of squishy animal movie is this?'
...
“Ya ya everyone, how's the training going?”
As soon as he heard the extremely familiar sound of excitement, the little puppy unconsciously wanted to respond immediately, but his classmate's precise and cruel fighting style did not allow that. The 16-year-old boy lay sprawled on the ground with a swollen lump on his forehead, then stood up seriously to receive the attack of his Zenin friend.
“Huh—huh~”
The cat-like smile of the stupid adult next to them made both Panda and Toge feel itchy, as if he was saying 'ask me' to show off.
“What is that look on your face?”
Gojo nodded in satisfaction when he was finally asked, pointing to the child who was diligently keeping up with his classmate's attack.
“You guys saw it just now, right? Every time that child sees me, his eyes can't take his eyes off me."
Actually, Yuta saw his teacher even before he called. From afar, he saw the teacher put a pair of sunglasses that he had never seen before in his pocket, then took out a familiar white bandage to wrap around his eyes.
“Like a curious puppy, huh?”
The man with the mysterious face felt a strange excitement rising in his heart. His student is very curious but with that personality, he will never ask directly but only shyly uses his big round puppy eyes to stare at the teacher's face every time they walk next to each other.
“Oh and the way he gets excited every time he sees me is so adorable too. Hah..as for you guys, you always use those unenthusiastic eyes, it's so heartbreaking.”
Panda and Toge said nothing but used their 'unenthusiastic eyes' to judge their annoying teacher. If he wants people to not use that look to greet him, he should think again about what kind of thing he has done.
Now that they think about it, Yuta is not stupid enough to not be able to see this teacher's stupid habits, but why can he always make the same expression as a chick meeting its mother when seeing him? It's mysterious.
...
“Hey Yuta”
The heart that was tumbling with fear suddenly jumped into the air and almost grew angel wings when it heard someone else's voice. The tiny legs automatically ran towards their beloved sensei in an extremely obedient manner.
"Ah-yes!"
‘Ah—run there right away’
Toge watched his classmate trot past him to run back to the teacher who wrapped bandages around his eyes. Thinking of any friend like him in the world, when I greeted him he screamed heart-stoppingly, then didn't even bother to say hello back and ran away following the call of love.
Looking at the child he picked up more than 4 months ago running towards him while clutching the strap of the katana bag on his chest made Gojo feel a bit proud and warm. Honestly, if Yuta had a tail, it would definitely be wagging wildly as if saying 'teacher, call me~'. On the surface, the white-haired man was still calm, but his barren heart was almost about to explode as it harbored the lovely illusions that his brain produced on its own.
‘I want to pet him so much…ahhhh’
...
In the scorching heat of the sky, the strongest man still couldn't help but exude an arrogant aura. Watching the two dumplings continuously move up and down rhythmically and then swallowed, Gojo couldn't help but laugh. When did the child he taught become so gluttonous that he didn't even notice his sensei's presence from behind? It's so sad...
While Gojo was still staring intently at the boy who in the past couldn't swallow even a single grain of rice, and was now deliciously munching on the rolls, Miguel discovered the strongest person first.
“Sensei?”
Just as Gojo predicted, Yuta would use those gentle puppy eyes to look at him while uttering the word "sensei" in that extremely sweet neutral voice. In response to the poor little puppy entrusted to a reluctant friend for many months, Gojo gently stroked his student's soft hair.
“Long time no see, Yuta”
