Jujutsu Kaisen: The Ineffective Hall

Toge Inumaki x Aya Yuki

(Shy younger puppy-like boy x Original Tokyo Jujutsu High teacher)

[Ah... a short top, but that's fine. Cursed Speech can be a very sexy weapon in certain situations.]

Toge Inumaki: Descendant of a Cursed Speech User

Aya Yuki: Innate Technique: None

Side pairing: Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. Their story runs parallel to the main plot as an unspoken undercurrent, and will not be explicitly shown.

----[Plot Premise]----

That year, Tokyo Jujutsu High had three genius students: a Six Eyes and Limitless user, a once-in-a-century talent; a Cursed Spirit Manipulation user, a once-in-a-millennium talent; and someone born with Reverse Cursed Technique. Compared to them, the fourth student was far less conspicuous.

Her technique, "None," can forcibly interrupt or disperse a technique that is active or has already taken shape.

"It's Democritus's atomic theory." The white-haired genius sorcerer recited a string of complicated principles. "The fundamental constituents of everything are atoms and the void... Atoms are in eternal motion, and the space in which they move is called absolute nothingness, that is, the void.

Atoms are called being, and the void is called non-being. But non-being doesn't mean nonexistent. It's just that, compared to solid atoms, the void has no solidity. So both non-being and being are real..."

While everyone else was getting dizzy listening to him, Satoru Gojo finally said something they could understand: "Aya uses her technique to divide a specific space into void, affecting the paths of atoms and thus interrupting a technique that was following a set path. For example, she can 'nullify' my Limitless. As for why Suguru couldn't summon his curses, it's because the reconfigured arrangement of atoms is an 'unfamiliar domain.' It's like having donuts in your backpack, only for them to turn into soba noodles!"

"I don't want donuts." Suguru Geto raised his hand. "I'd be fine with soba noodles."

"No way, those are my donuts!"

"That's unreasonable, Satoru."

"Whatever I say is right!"

Aya Yuki, standing nearby, was speechless. "You just revealed someone else's technique, and you're still so unapologetic. You're a real scumbag."

Shoko Ieiri nodded in agreement. "A scumbag."

----[Romance]----

The bathroom door opened, and when the man looked up, Toge Inumaki sprang from his chair.

Water droplets gathered at the tips of his raven-colored hair and dripped onto his white shirt. The loose collar revealed a tantalizing glimpse of skin, and his pale gray eyes fixed on Toge in confusion.

"Kelp!" Before the other man could speak, Toge Inumaki bowed at a ninety-degree angle and held out the card he had been clutching in his hand.

Aya Yuki took the card, puzzled, and realized it was a student ID. "First-year student, Toge Inumaki?"

"Salmon!"

He used food words in place of speech. And if the scarf wasn't just a distinctive design... Was his technique related to speech?

Aya studied the boy before him for a few moments. Noticing the traces of cursed energy left on him by someone she knew, he finally remembered what a certain unscrupulous teacher had told him a few days ago. "So you're the student Satoru Gojo assigned to me..."

He sighed. "Leaving a new student alone in the teachers' dormitory. As usual, he makes things difficult."

He reached out and patted Toge's head. To his surprise, it felt soft and fluffy. "You don't have to be so nervous, Inumaki."

Warm steam swept over his face, and the boy blushed. "S-Salmon..."
