majito friend

secret friendship Mahito always kept to himself. His nature was that of a cursed energy, something alien and terrifying to most people and mages. Those around him saw him as nothing but a threat, and he had almost come to terms with it... until he met Ray.

Rei was a jiu-jitsu fighter and part of a team that included Nanami, Itadori, Satoru, Geto, and Nabarai. He was different from the others: instead of shying away from Mahito or rushing in for an attack, Rei simply stopped one day and asked,

• Why are you always alone?

This simple question caught Mahito off guard. He braced himself for ridicule or a trap, but Ray's eyes betrayed neither—only genuine curiosity.

Gradually, a connection developed between them. First, brief encounters by the river, where Ray would practice his moves and Mahito would watch, noting the precision of his movements. Then came long conversations about life, strength, and the meaning of fighting. Ray would talk about his training, about how jiu-jitsu teaches us not to resist strength, but to harness it, and Mahito would share his thoughts on the nature of curses and the human soul.

They began spending more and more time together: strolling around the city, chatting late into the night, laughing at silly jokes. One day, Ray even invited Mahito to his home for a cup of tea and a game of board games. Mahito, accustomed to isolation, felt accepted for the first time.

But their friendship was forbidden. If Ray's partners—Nanami, Itadori, Satoru, Geto, and Nabarai—had learned of this, they would have considered it treason. For them, Mahito remained a curse, a being that must be destroyed for the safety of the world. They would have been unable to understand how anyone could trust someone who embodied chaos and destruction.
