I just want to live an ordinary life.
Ever since I was young, I knew I was different.
I can move things without touching them.
Objects
Humans
I could even move entire buildings if I wanted to.
I thought it made me special.
But the more I used it, the more I felt like I was relying on it for everything.
I want to do things the regular way.
The powers are apart of me.
But they're not me.
.....
Gojo Satoru, soon to be student of Tokyo Jujutsu High was assigned the mission of recruiting Mob to Jujutsu High.
Looks like there might be someone who can stand at the peak of the Jujutsu world with him.
Last Gojo checked Kageyama Shigeo wasn't apart of any great Jujutsu family.
Not a part of one of the big three clans.
Just an ordinary boy from an ordinary family.
"Kageyama Shigeo"
"I can't wait to see you with my own eyes."
.....
Walking home, house in sight Mob could feel it.
A presence
Someone strong was nearby.
Entering his house, the air immediately feels thicker.
Someone strong was inside his house.
"Heeeeyyy!!!"
"Your Kageyama Shigeo right!?"
Lying sprawled across the wooden floor a few feet ahead, staring at the ceiling like he owned it.
Tall
White Hair
A pair of Sunglasses covered his eyes, with a wide smirk on his face.
"Yes that's me but….who are you?"
Silence stretched for a moment.
He didn't sit up, acting as if he wasn't intruding in someone else's home.
The white haired boy finally sat up.
Turning his head and staring directly into Mob.
Even with his sunglasses, it felt like he was being staired straight through.
The whole room started to tremble.
"Oh? Are you nervous? I didn't do anything though"
Mob quickly pressed his hands tighter together, focusing on his breathing.
"Sorry" Mob managed to squeeze out
Calm down
Calm down
The trembling stopped.
"I'm…Sorry" Mob said bowing his head slightly
The white-haired boy finally stood up. Stretching as if had just woken from a nap.
He was taller up close
Confidence was oozing off of him in a way Mob couldn't describe.
"I'm Gojo… Gojo Satoru."
"Nice to meet you, my name's Kageya-"
Before he could finish Gojo with his hand on his chin
"Psychokinesis?" Gojo asked
Mob blinked…
"Um… I… I guess."
Another pause
The pressure in the room shifted instantly, not heavier, but sharper.
Gojo leaned forward slightly
This time Mob got a good feeling of it.
The Ocean
No…
The Sky…
A sky with no end.
Mob's emotions spiked for a split second.
For the second time that day the room trembled.
A faint crack forming underneath Mob's feet.
Gojo's grinned widened
"Whoa," he said softly, "You're holding a lot in, huh?"
Mob immediately forced himself to calm.
Breathe slower
Push everything back down.
The pressure vanishing as fast as it appeared.
"I'm sorry" he said again voice small
For a long moment Gojo stared at him.
"Interesting!"
"You're the first person my age who's made the room tremble like that without using any cursed energy!"
"That's kind of Amazing"
Mob not knowing what to say, looked down at his hands
"I try not to use it"
Gojo tilting his head. "Why not?"
Mob took a second to answer
"Because… I don't want to rely on it"
"I… I want to become stronger without it."
Gojo stood still
No grin. No smirk.
"Huh?"
Gojo someone who had been told his whole life that power was everything, that answer felt strange.
"But your powers are special"
Mob with his head slightly raised. "H-Havin powers doesn't make someone special."
"If I rely on my powers, I won't grow as a person."
Interesting, "Your weird," Gojo said
Hearing those words, Mob's shoulders sunk slightly. "I get told that a lot."
"Nah," Gojo smiled. "I mean it in a good way."
Then with that same confidence
"Hey Shigeo. Want to spar some time?"
Mob's eyes widen immediately
"I… I don't really like fighting."
"Even better."
For the first time since entering his house, Mob looked up.
He noticed something else beneath Gojo's overwhelming presence.
Loneliness
Mob not fully understanding why, but he found himself nodding at the request.
"Okay," he said "Someday."
"Great!" Gojo enthusiastically said
"All right let's get down to business."
"Shigeo," he said, with a serious tone in his voice. "Do you know what a curse spirit is?"
Mob shook his head.
"Cursed spirits, they are born form the negative emotions of humans. Fear, Anger, Grief. Most people can't see them. And most people definitely can't fight against them."
"Negative emotion?" Mob numbered to himself
"Do they show up a lot?" Mob asked quietly
"Yeah," he said "A lot, they kill a bunch of innocent people."
"That's why there's Jujutsu Sorcerers"
"Sorcerers?"
An immense energy started emitting from Gojo's right palm. Blue energy exploding from his right hand. "Cursed Energy!"
Mob's eyes widened.
"At Tokyo Jujutsu High, students are trained to control and use cursed energy against cursed spirits."
"Shigeo, I'm here on behalf of Jujutsu High to formally invite you to join Tokyo Jujutsu High."
Before Mob could respond-
"I know you don't want to use your powers," Gojo said. "You want to live an Ordinary life."
"But you should really consider this, Shigeo."
"If you join Jujutsu High, they could help you control and master your powers."
A silent moment passed by, Mob contemplating Gojo's words.
"If… If I join this school, I won't have to fight all the time, right?"
Gojo with a deadpan face instantly turning into one of deceit and mischief. "No, I doubt you'll ever even be in a position were you'll have to fight."
Mob being easily influenced, saw nothing wrong with Gojo's words. Inevitably agreeing.
"Ok, I'll join."
"Great, looks like we'll be classmates!" Gojo said wrapping his arm around Mob's shoulder
"Pack your things Shigeo!"
"Next stop, Jujutsu High!"
