Chapter 6 - Nobara

The group had arrived at the dorms. On the way there, Shidou hadn't spoken a word, refusing to even look at Gojo.

"This is your room, Shidou. You can customize it however you want." Gojo glanced at him briefly before heading to Yuji's room.

The room was empty, with only a small bed on the right, a closet, a huge mirror, and a chair. It was a stark difference from his old, luxury bedroom.

'I need to decorate this shit asap. Wait, did I even bring my wallet?'

Shidou hurriedly checked his pockets, then let out a sigh of relief, finding his wallet, which had twenty crisp 10,000 yen bills. His phone was in another pocket, though unfortunately, it was broken beyond repair, most likely due to his recent fights.

'Fuck, I have to get another phone, but that can come later. On the wall, I should put up a battle royale poster, and I need to buy some new clothes as well. I feel so dirty, but if I remember right, we should be getting a uniform.'

Shidou looked down at his clothes in disgust. They were covered in dirt, and he had huge armpit stains. He covered his nose and took off his shirt, leaving only his pants. He would rather walk in public shirtless than walk around smelly.

He walked up to the mirror, admiring his physique. Shidou had a shredded physique, being around 9–10 percent body fat, with a well-developed chest, rounded shoulders, muscular arms that had good vascularity, and an eight-pack.

He had been following a strict diet since he was young, never eating junk food, but he felt like shit most of the time of the day due to his low body fat percentage. Still, it was worth it - waking up in the morning and seeing hundreds of hours of grueling workouts pay off.

"Whoa, you're jacked, Shidou." Yuji's eyes widened as he looked him over.

Right beside Yuji was Megumi, who wasn't covered in bandages anymore. He had an annoyed look on his face, still not liking the fact that Shidou was now a student.

"Of course I'm jacked, have you seen my face, but your build is pretty decent, I would say, maybe a couple more decades and you could catch up."

"Tsk, hurry up, we're going to get another first-year student, and why the hell are you shirtless?" Megumi asked, glancing at him.

"My clothes stink, I'm not walking out there like that."

"Were getting school uniforms soon from Gojo Sensei," Megumi replied. 

The group arrived at Harajuku Station and waited near a gas station.

They had also received their school uniforms. Megumi wore the standard Jujutsu High uniform with a dark blue jacket over a long-sleeved white dress shirt, pants that matched his jacket, and long black socks with brown shoes.

Yuji wore a customized version, which Gojo had requested, which he also did for Shidou. Yuji wore a black long-sleeve shirt resembling a gakuran over a red hoodie, black pants, and red shoes.

Shidou was pleasantly surprised when he received his uniform, which was a full gakuran uniform and black shoes with an extra plain purple shirt, though that wasn't what surprised him - it was the accessory that came with it, which was a chain hanging from the right side of his pants. 

He had asked Gojo why he added the accessory, and he replied that he reminded him of a delinquent, so he decided to give him an uncustomized version of the gakuran uniform, which was what most delinquents wore as they were students, but also decided to give him the chain to add some flair.

Shidou had his top unbuttoned and sagged his pants down slightly, which was how he wore his uniform back in his own world. He was still on the lookout for new clothes, checking out stores from afar to see if they had the right clothes.

"I want some popcorn." Yuji pointed at a nearby popcorn vendor.

"Sure, why not? She's taking forever anyway." Gojo shrugged. 

They walked to the popcorn vendor, except for Shidou, who was now in a clothing store. While he was looking for street clothes, he noticed that he got plenty of stares that ranged from lingering looks to wary glances. 

'Oh yeah, I do look like a delinquent.' 

After scouring for a while, he finally found the clothes he was looking for and decided to buy three separate outfits - a black double-breasted coat with a scarf, loose cargo style pants. Another was a zip-up white Champion jacket, with black pants and a chain hanging from the waist of the pants. Lastly, a glossy red puffer coat with a red shirt, white belt, and black pants. 

After Shidou brought his clothes, he heard a commotion as he exited the store. In front of him was Nobara yelling at a Model Agent. 

 "I'm asking about myself!" She yelled. 

"Um...Sorry, I'm in a hurry!" 

"Hey, don't try to run away, say something!" Nobara grabbed the Agent by the collar. 

"Maybe you're just too ugly." Shidou cut in. 

"Who just said that!" Nobara turnt around, locking eye contact with Shidou. She froze in her gaze, allowing the model agent to run away. 

'Oh my god, a hottie, and he's so buff, but he just called me ugly, how rude.' A small blush crept up Nobara's cheeks. 

"Who are you calling ug-" 

"Hey! Both of you over here!" Gojo yelled from afar with Megumi and Yuji, cutting Nobara off. 

"That's...wait your a Sorcerer!" Nobara pointed at Shidou after realizing Gojo knew him. 

"Yes, now let's get going, I don't have all day." Shidou briskly walked towards the group as Nobara tried to keep pace with him, occasionally glancing at him from time to time. 

"Oou, what clothes did you get, Shidou?" Yuji asked, glancing at his bags. 

"Some street clothes." 

"Everybody, listen up. Introduce yourself to your new classmate." Gojo said, clapping his hands together.

"Shidou." He said dryly, paying more attention to his clothes than to her. 

"I'm Yuji Itadori, and I'm from Sendai," Yuji said, smiling brightly. 

"Megumi Fushiguro," Megumi said, boredly. 

'Just his first name? Never mind, he's ugly, he's so not my type at all, I hate guys who act all high and mighty, why did he have to be such an ass, the rest of the two are ugly as well. What a pain in the ass!'

"Sigh, I'm always so unlucky." 

"We finally have all four of you together. It is time for a tour of Tokyo!" Gojo said with a faint smirk. 

Yuji and Nobara gleamed, hugging Gojo tightly, while on the other hand, Megumi sweatdropped, and Shidou looked on, uninterested. 

"Let's go to Tokyo Disneyland!" Nobara exclaimed

"No, you Idiot! Disneyland is in the Chiba prefecture; we should go to Chinatown instead." Yuji said. 

"Shut up, you baffoon, Chinatown is in Yokohanma." Nobara retorted. 

"Silence, I shall now announce the destination," Gojo said. 

Yuji and Nobara quickly got off Gojo, kneeling down. 

"Were going to Roppongi." 

"Roppongi?" Yuji and Nobara said simultaneously, smiling brightly, facing each other.

They arrived at Roppongi, and it was not what Yuji and Nobara expected; it was a building that exuded cursed energy. Their dreams of visiting Disneyland and Chinatown were shattered. 

"Why is curse energy coming from the building?" Yuji asked Gojo. 

"Because there's a cemetery as well as an abandoned building, which attracted a curse."

"So, curses appear more at graves?" 

"Not exactly, it's the fear of the dead that attracts Curses," Megumi added. 

"Wait.. you're telling me this potato doesn't even know that?" Nobara asked in disbelief. 

"Well, he did swallow a special grade cursed finger."

"A finger?! You're joking, gross, gross, I know your breath must be kicking." Nobara got far away from Yuji, shuddering. 

"What?! It's so not like that!" Yuji tried to deny, covering his mouth. 

"I'm with her, Yuji," Megumi said. 

"She's not lying, Yuji, you seriously need to brush your teeth. Every time you talk near me, I get a whiff of something vile." Shidou said jokingly, holding back his laughter. 

"Not you too, Shidou! My breath doesn't smell." 

"Hahaha, well, aren't you guys lively, but we got to get serious, you guys, except for Megumi and Shidou, are going to go in and excorise the curses in there, think of it as your first field test, so I can know what you guys are capable of." 

"What the fuck, why am I not going?" Shidou asked angrily. 

"I already know more than enough of what you're capable of, and it just wouldn't be a challenge for you at all, but this trip is not useless for you. I brought you your brass knuckles, and I brought Yuji a cursed tool called Slaughter Demon!" 

He handed Yuji the slaughter demon as he stared at it in awe, and then handed Shidou his silver brass knuckles. 

"Remember, Shidou, you have to imbue it with your cursed energy slowly over months, or it will break, and Yuji, your weapon is already infused with curse energy; it'll work against curses. Now, you guys should get going."
