The next day y/n goes to her school as usual.
Time passes and at departure time as she heads out of the school she found Satoru standing near the gate leaning on the wall. he looked at her and gave a soft smile. He walked towards her waving a hi.
Satoru Gojo: ready to go?
y/n: uh.. yeah sensei...
Satoru Gojo:raises an eyebrow hu? you forget what I had said?
y/n:confused thinks for a moment ...oh! ..uh.. I..I mean satoru. smiles nervously
Satoru Gojo: good.. now lets go.
y/n: o..ok
...
Satoru Gojo:steps back, eyes gleaming with excitementAlright, y/n… that tiny spark was good yesterday, but now let's try a controlled blast. Nothing too big – I don't want to redecorate my domain today.
y/n:gulps, eyes wideO-okay… I'll try…
Satoru Gojo:crosses arms, grinningRelax. The energy flows through you, not against you. Picture it leaving your body like a gentle wave… not a hammer smashing through.
y/n:closes eyes, concentratingLike a wave… not a hammer…
Her mark glows faintly. A soft pulse of energy radiates from her chest, swirling outward in a shimmering orb.
Satoru Gojo:claps lightly, impressedGood! That's exactly it – see how it flows naturally? Now… release it toward that training target. points to a floating sphere made of cursed energy
y/n:nods, takes a deep breathHere goes…
The orb pulses, then shoots a controlled beam toward the target. It hits perfectly, causing the sphere to shiver but not explode.
Satoru Gojo:grinning, hands on hips Boom! Nailed it. That's precision, not chaos. I'm impressed – you're a natural.
y/n:panting, cheeks flushedI… I did it… without hurting myself?
Satoru Gojo:kneels beside her, teasing softlyOf course. And don't look so surprised – you have my kind of talent. Raw power, just waiting for control.
y/n:blushes, shylyBut… controlling it feels… strange. Like it's alive…
Satoru Gojo:smirksGood. That's exactly how it should feel. The Tenchu mark responds to your will. Treat it like a partner, not a tool.
y/n:nods, closing her eyes againA partner… okay… I think I can do this.
Satoru Gojo:stands, steps back, arms crossedAlright then. Next step: mobility practice. Blast small pulses while moving. We need to see how your mark behaves under stress.
y/n:gulps nervouslyUnder stress…?
Satoru Gojo:grinning, teasingDon't worry – I'll catch you if you explode. Maybe.
He laughs, then disappears with a flicker of cursed energy, reappearing behind her instantly.
y/n:jumps, startledS-Sensei!?
Satoru Gojo:grinsYou called me Satoru now, remember? And yes – that's exactly the kind of reflex we're training.
She steadies herself, mark glowing faintly. Tentatively, she moves forward, releasing controlled pulses at floating targets, each pulse sharper and more precise.
Satoru Gojo:clapping lightly, eyes sparklingThat's it! Look at you, y/n – moving, blasting, controlling. You're getting stronger with every step.
y/n:panting, exhilaratedI… I never thought I'd… feel this… powerful…
Satoru Gojo:smiling softly, serious for a momentPower is nothing without control, y/n. And you're learning that faster than anyone I've trained. Soon, Mahoraga or any curse won't stand a chance.
y/n:eyes widen, determination flickeringI… I won't let him hurt anyone… not ever again.
Satoru Gojo:grins widely, placing a hand on her shoulderThat's my student. Now, ready for a little challenge? A test to see how well your Tenchu mark responds under pressure…
y/n:nods firmlyI'm ready, Satoru.
Satoru Gojo:laughs low, mischievouslyGood. Let's turn this training up a notch… steps back, arms crossed, smirkingAlright, y/n… now it gets interesting. I'm activating moving cursed targets. Your goal: hit all of them without overusing your energy.
y/n:gulps, mark glowing faintlyM-moving targets…?
Satoru Gojo:grins, voice teasingDon't worry, I won't throw a fireball at you. Yet.
Several small spheres of cursed energy begin floating around, darting unpredictably.
y/n:eyes widen, taking a deep breathOkay… stay calm… control the flow…
She releases a pulse at the nearest sphere. It wavers, then stabilizes, glowing brighter where her energy hit.
Satoru Gojo:clapping lightly, impressedNot bad! That's one down. Now track the others. Remember – focus, don't force. Let the mark respond naturally.
y/n:nods, heart poundingGot it…
The spheres start moving faster. She steps, dodges instinctively, and releases another pulse. The mark hums with energy, guiding her movements.
Satoru Gojo:appears behind her suddenly, voice lowDon't forget – mobility counts too. Your mark should flow with your body.
y/n:jumps, startled, then grins nervouslyI… I can do this…
She continues moving, releasing smaller pulses, the mark glowing steadily. One sphere drifts too far—she hesitates, then focuses, releasing a perfect, controlled blast that hits dead center.
Satoru Gojo:laughs softly, impressedWhoa! That was perfect! Look at you, y/n… tracking, dodging, controlling. You're improving faster than I expected.
y/n:panting, exhilaratedIt… it feels amazing… like I'm actually… in sync with it…
Satoru Gojo:kneels beside her, smiling warmlyExactly. That's the key. The Tenchu mark responds to your intent, your focus. As long as your mind stays calm, your energy stays under control.
y/n:determinedI… I won't let Mahoraga or any curse hurt anyone again. Not ever.
Satoru Gojo:grins widely, placing a hand on her shoulderThat's my student. Now… one last test. Let's see how you handle simultaneous targets.
y/n:gulping, mark glowing brighterSimultaneous… targets…?
Satoru Gojo:laughs low, teasingRelax. I'll be here if you need a soft landing. But I expect focus, control… and a little flair.
The cursed spheres multiply, moving in erratic patterns. y/n steadies herself, breathing deeply, and the Tenchu mark pulses in perfect rhythm with her heart. She releases controlled blasts one after another, each striking its target with precision, dodging and moving naturally.
Satoru Gojo:clapping, eyes sparklingYes! That's it! steps back, grinning proudlyYou didn't just survive the test – you dominated it. You're a natural with the Tenchu mark, y/n.
y/n:panting, exhilarated, cheeks flushedI… I did it… controlled… all of them…
Satoru Gojo:laughs, rare soft smileAnd that, y/n, is why you'll surpass anyone… even me, eventually.
y/n:breathing heavily, determination in her eyesI… I want to get stronger. I'll master this mark… no matter what it takes.
Satoru Gojo:grinning mischievouslyGood answer. And don't worry… we've got plenty of training ahead. But for now… time for a well-earned break.
y/n:smiling faintly, still glowing from adrenalineYeah… break…
Satoru Gojo:teasingly, hands on hipsRelax? Or are you secretly itching for the next challenge already?
y/n:laughs softly, cheeks flushedMaybe… a little…
Satoru Gojo:laughs low, eyes sparklingThat's my student. Always eager.
Outside Gojo's domain, a darkened alley pulses with cursed energy. Gojo stands beside y/n, eyes gleaming.
Satoru Gojo:smirkingAlright, y/n… first real field test. That's not a training sphere anymore – that's a live cursed spirit. Small, but nasty.
y/n:gulping, mark glowing faintlyI… I've never faced one like this before…
Satoru Gojo:kneels slightly, hand on her shoulderRelax. Focus, control, flow with your mark. I'll be right here. If you panic… I've got your back.
y/n:nods, takes a deep breathO-okay… I trust you, Satoru.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerges – a writhing, hunched cursed spirit.
Satoru Gojo:eyes narrowingSee it? That's your target. Don't underestimate it. Feel its energy… anticipate its movement.
y/n:focusing, mark glowing brighterI… I can feel it… it's… erratic…
Satoru Gojo:grinningGood. Release a small pulse first. Nothing lethal – just see how it reacts.
y/n channels the Tenchu mark. A faint orb of energy hits the spirit. It hisses, recoiling slightly.
Satoru Gojo:clapping lightlyNice. Now follow up with a controlled strike, using your mobility.
y/n moves forward, releasing another pulse. The spirit lashes out; she dodges instinctively, then fires another orb. Her mark flares intensely with effort. Her breaths become shallow; sweat beads on her forehead.
y/n:panting, voice shakyI… I can't… keep it up…
Satoru Gojo:noticing, eyes wideningGood… effort, y/n… but your body's pushing limits. Focus on control – don't burn out.
She tries one last pulse, perfectly timed, and the spirit hisses before dissipating into cursed energy smoke. But the effort overwhelms her. She staggers, knees buckling, and collapses.
Satoru Gojo:swiftly catches her, concern flashing across his facey/n! Stay with me – too much power at once. You fainted because your body isn't used to this much cursed energy yet.
y/n drifts, unconscious, mark dimming slightly
Satoru Gojo:mutters softly, lifting her gentlyNot a problem. We'll get you stabilized. First real field test complete… now it's recovery time.
He activates a faint glow from his Infinity Void, channeling healing energy into her. Within moments, her breathing steadies, her color returns, but she remains unconscious.
Satoru Gojo:lays her gently on a nearby safe spotGood. Lesson learned: power without endurance is dangerous. Tenchu mark's incredible, yes, but it must be trained gradually.
He mutters to himself, a mix of amusement and admirationStill… she handled a real cursed spirit perfectly, even if she passed out. My student… already impressive.
