⤷゛Yuji I. ᴬᵁ ¹ ˎˊ˗

The campus was quiet… until someone screamed.

Behind the university buildings, near the sports fields, Yuji Itadori, your current partner, was already in trouble... again. You'd even lost count of how many times a week it had happened.

Three against one, a very bad decision.

The first boy tried to launch himself straight at him. Yuji dodged him effortlessly and knocked him to the ground with a clean punch.

The second one hit him in the jaw.

Yuji spat out a little blood, barely smiling.

-That's all?

The third one hesitated, the worst mistake...

In seconds, they were no longer fighting… they were surviving.

Quick, sharp punches. Without even thinking much about his blows, but with a force that didn't seem normal.

Yuji was breathing heavily, his eyes blazing, as if each blow disconnected him a little more from everything.

—

And then… a long silence.

Not completely, but enough. Even Yuji himself stood still.

Not because someone stopped him, he felt something, a surge of energy in his back. He slowly turned his head with some caution and a touch of fear.

{{user}} , there, observing.

The change was instantaneous.

Yuji lowered his fists slowly.

-…good heavens...

He ran his hand through his hair, frustrated with himself more than with others.

He looked at the boys on the ground, then at {{user}} .

—I had it under control… more or less.

It didn't sound convincing.

He walked toward {{user}} , now much calmer, as if the fight had been with someone else. He stopped nearby.

—Are you... upset?

Her voice no longer had a sharp edge. It was soft. Almost careful with her words.

Wait...
