I mean. Now that I'm thinking about it? When I was holding your hand it did help me feel less anxious. And you... You stopped being in such a bad mood too. Didn't you?
izuku, i need you and childe to take a look at this. i'm not familiar enough with your powers. please give me an honest assessment about whether this is something you'd be able to deal with. i'd prefer you tell me no now rather than have things go awry while you're out on a mission.
I'm interested in helping you with more excursions in the area! ... Although, I'm a little worried when they say "return to life from any mortal wounds" because that's ... Well, I wouldn't want them to get hurt, even if they have that sort of quirk.
I'm training to be a pro hero so I specialize in protecting others. I have high speed and strength. And I have several quirks that allow me to float, sense danger and control my power levels. I'll be able to protect Blade-san. And maybe his skill will come in handy if things get dangerous.
I don't mind working with them, I can see if I can reach out.
Good. Strength should be used to protect others, so I'm proud of you for your strong values.
Protect Blade, but also trust what Blade tells you about his own abilities, all right? Don't put yourself or Childe in danger in order to keep Blade from being hurt, if it's something that Blade has said he can handle. You have to trust your allies to tell you what they can endure and how best to optimize how you all work together.
Talk to Blade, make sure you have a good understanding of what he needs from you and how to protect each other.
[ He's quiet again for a little bit. Thinking. Sure, he gets embarrassed easily. Doesn't want to get ahead of himself in case it's wrong.
But the thing is, even before waking up here, he can recall reaching out and wanting Izuku to be there. Within reach. Honestly, it had felt intensified with that hand hold. ]
It's not like you have plans other than us being side by side, right?
Why the fuck would I think it's gross? I demanded to go with you to chase down Craggy Face, pushed your ass out of the way. Then in the hospital they had to fucking physically restrain me from smacking you around in your bed. Hunted you down when you fucked off and have been training with you ever since.
The hell do you get the impression that I'd think it's gross?
Right... Thank you, Gojo-sensei! I hope I can help!
[It always feels good to be recognized for his strength! And while he's still unsure how this might go he'll do what Gojo suggests. It's logical and Izuku will be careful. Even if a part of him might just go pro-protagonist on everything anyway-]
What about you? Will you be going into the marshlands as well?
Yes, I'll be one of the vanguard teams, maybe the primary vanguard team. Felwinter and I can both cover a lot of distance without being impeded by the difficult terrain. But I've been hanging back more to make sure that the waystations are covered and that the route is being safely established.
Then you should understand that this doesn't bother me at all. If anything, I thought you thought it was a problem...
If you want to know what I'm feeling... I'm feeling happy that I might be able to be connected to you. I thought that you might hate that, but after knowing that you want to look out for me... It isn't a problem, is it?
Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College. We usually just call it Tokyo Jujutsu High. There are only the two schools in Japan teaching the abilities we refer to as jujutsu sorcery.
Essentially, cursed energy users can see curses, which are created from the cursed energy generated from ordinary humans, and wield cursed energy. Jujutsu is the primary technique we use to control and channel that energy in techniques, so users are commonly called jujutsu sorcerers.
See, ordinary humans generate cursed energy out of negative emotions. Hate, jealousy, all of that. And it builds up--someone with a lot of guilt might find themselves weighed down by the burden of their own misery until it solidifies into an actual thing. We call that a curse. Little ones might just stay with the person who created them, like that, but if a group of people fear or hate something, then a large curse can be created by their hate. And curses can feed on other curses, becoming more powerful ...
Sorcerers can use and channel our own cursed energy or sometimes the cursed energy in other things. Sorcerer society is mostly built in order to destroy the curses that develop so that they're kept under control.
Curse energy is made out of ... negative emotions?
And you teach your students how to handle those? That seems dangerous, then. How are you able to keep everything under control? Is it difficult for them? What if they're ... not feeling particularly negative?
It still sounds incredible, in the way that it functions.
I don't want to imagine what a large negative mass might create...
Being able to regulate one's own cursed energy output under any emotional conditions is one of the first things that my students learn. Sorcerers cycle all their own cursed energy so that it just gets stored in reserves until we need to use it for our abilities.
A large negative mass creates some deeply horrifying monsters. My students and other active jujutsu sorcerers fight those things. The really big ones, which are called 'special grade', those are the ones that I fight. I am by far the most powerful of all the jujutsu sorcerers.

This guy was talking about imprinting and how it's apparently supposed to feel. But if you're not feeling anything then I
Forget it. Ain't nothing. I said nothing.

Imprinting. I... don't know?

I did.
[ Because it's true and he won't deny it. ]
Kept holding hands for a while too.

But I ... If we're imprinted on each other... like you think we might be... wouldn't you hate that?

Should be the other way around, right?

I would never hate having a bond with you, Kacchan!
If anything, I'm a little happy that it might have happened!
I don't know for sure. But.
I.
Aren't you...
Wouldn't you hate being tied this close to me??
You don't think it's ...gross or anything?

But a lot of them would say that you shouldn't be.
I already decided I was going to make shit right. Even after, though, Imma chase after you so it's not like you really have a choice on that.
no subject
Well I ...
I don't think you or anyone gets to decide what makes me happy or not, Kacchan.
If you're going to chase me, then it makes sense we're imprinted on each other. And that makes me happy.

All I'm saying is that I'd understand. That's it.

I want to keep it. Please keep this bond with me.
