Capítulo 2: Potential Man Megumi!
Sendai, Sugisawa Municipal Highschool
10: 56 PM
The lack of sun and the empty streets clearly showed it was late, however, between the halls of Sugisawa Municipal Highschool, a figure zipped between rooms, clearly looking for something.
Eventually, they made their way outside, taking a gander into a Stevenson Screen, which was used to keep objects used for recording weather, safe and dry from water, however, instead, there was a clear lack of anything. "Of course...it's gone." The man sighed before opening his phone and dialing.
*ding!*
"Moshi, Moshi~ Whose this?" The voice sounded male and was leisurely eating in the background. "You know who this is...I found the Cursed Object but it's been taken." The man sighed, clearly expecting such a call.
"Well~ You can't exactly leave it AWOL, so go find it, full trust, buddy!" The line abruptly cut. "Hey! Wait, Sensei! You can't just leave me!... Of course, he can." the figure sighed and prepared to leave.
...
Sendai, Sugisawa Municipal Highschool
11: 56 AM
Occult Club Room
In a dark room, three teenagers, sat in front of a Ouija board, a ritual said to be able to communicate with ghosts. "Shh! Alright, guys, ready? Great, Takeshi go first."
Expressing exaggerated surprise, Takeshi Iguichi decides to contact, 'ghosts'. "Huh?! Uh, alright then...Honorable Ghost, please reveal to us, the most embarrassing secret of the Student Council President." A small period goes by before they all give up, and ghosts aren't real.
"Hey, I bet he's secretly a diehard fan of MLP." Yuji Itadori, now much older spoke up. "Nah, he's the Pocoyo type." Setsuko Sasaki interceded, "What if he's a Dr. Seuss Type? Y'know green eggs and ham and stuff..."
"Haha, imagine him with a secret stash of plushies."
"Oh, what about him roleplaying too, bet he'd love Rarity."
"Meh, Applejack seems way better."
"Twilight's there too, guys..."
"Yeah but the protagonist is always seen, give the side characters some love."
Standing at the door, was the mentioned, Student Council President, whose expression seemed beyond anger. "I see...leniency was too much for you. ALRIGHT! That's it, you and you and you! Disband Club! Direct order, you have neither the needed number of members nor Yuji, even in your club!" The three slowly turned to look at each other.
Clearing her throat, Setsuko bought time, "Actually, we've been doing our club activities this entire time, such as..." Sasaki gives a quick look behind her. "Solving the mystery of the Sick Rugby Players! Ahem, Yuji."
Now with a model of the field, Takeshi held it up, "You see, a few years ago, a man was murdered on the very same field and after the Rugby Team practiced there, they awoke the spirit of an overworked employee! Thus, angering him and he cursed everyone with food poisoning!" Yuji and Takeshi gave a small bow.
Blinking twice, President's patience ran out, "Erm, actually, that was caused by ticks and not anything supernatural so...EVICTED! And also, this room shall be given to the girl's track team...speaking of the track team, Yuji Itadori, you have been reapplied there, make haste."
...
In this rather large, school, do you think someone would memorize every student? Nah, and if they did, they didn't see him. "Alright, infiltration successful." The figure from last night now appeared once again, in school uniform. "...You're rather comforting right now." His eyes kept looking forward, however on a flag pole stood something from Lovecraftian lore.
It had 4 eyes, looked like a square worm, and was like the figure, looking for something. Most likely, the Cursed Object, meaning he was on the right track.
His eyes then turned to look at a boy playing the shotput, however, his throw went far beyond the usual and bent a soccer pole. "Hmm...not a sorcerer then...has he used the Cursed Object unknowingly? Might be worth it..."
...
Sasaki and Iguchi exchanged concerned glances as they turned to face Yuji, the flicker of uncertainty clear in their eyes. "Yuji, you don't have to stay loyal to the Occult Research Club," Sasaki said gently, her voice laced with a mix of understanding and caution. "It's not something you're bound to."
Iguchi nodded in agreement, shifting awkwardly. "Yeah, it's just a small club. You could always move on to something bigger. No one would blame you."
Yuji stood still for a moment, absorbing their words, but then shook his head with a quiet but firm resolve. "I know," he replied, a faint smile forming on his lips. "But… I've actually grown to like the club. We've had fun together, and I know they can't keep it going without me."
Sasaki and Iguchi shared another look, their expressions softening at Yuji's sincerity. As the conversation unfolded, Megumi Fushiguro watched from a distance, his sharp gaze narrowing. He leaned against a nearby wall, hidden from view, his mind silently calculating. So this is the guy with that cursed object? he thought, the faint hum of curse energy pulsating from Yuji's direction catching his attention.
As Yuji continued talking to his friends, Megumi slipped away unnoticed, but fate had other plans. A few blocks down the road, as he moved through the shadows, Megumi unexpectedly crossed paths with Yuji. The two locked eyes for the briefest moment, Yuji offering a friendly wave.
Before Megumi could say anything, Yuji suddenly darted away—his movements blurring with inhuman speed, the wind whipping past him as though the air itself couldn't keep up. Megumi's eyes widened. What the—?! How is he that fast? he thought, his senses immediately sharpening. He could feel it now—Yuji wasn't just fast. His presence radiated an overwhelming surge of cursed energy, far more intense than before. Megumi's expression darkened. Something's definitely not right.
Without wasting time, Yuji raced toward Sugisawa Hospital, his heart heavy with worry. He made his way through the familiar halls, the fluorescent lights above casting a sterile glow as he approached the door to his grandfather's room. The air was thick with a silence that felt final, almost suffocating. Yuji paused outside the door for a moment, trying to steady himself.
Inside, his grandfather lay weakly on the hospital bed, his breath labored. The older man's wrinkled face softened when he saw Yuji enter. "Still coming to see this old man, huh?" he muttered with a raspy chuckle.
"Of course," Yuji said, sitting by his side. The sight of his grandfather like this gnawed at him, but he refused to show it. They talked for a while, though the subject of Yuji's parents lingered in the air like a dark cloud. His grandfather tried bringing them up once, but Yuji's response was the same as always—firm but calm.
"I don't want to know," Yuji said simply. His grandfather sighed, but let it go.
After a long silence, the old man's eyes grew heavier. "Yuji..." he whispered, his voice fragile but laced with urgency. "You've got to help people. Live a life where, when you're done, you'll have people around you. Don't die alone, kid."
Yuji's chest tightened, but he kept his composure. "I'll remember, Grandpa. I promise."
With those final words, the life drained from his grandfather's eyes, and Yuji sat in silence, staring at the stillness before him. His breath hitched, but he refused to cry. Instead, he clenched his fists, resolving to honor his grandfather's last wish.
After what felt like an eternity, Yuji slowly rose and made his way toward the hospital lobby, lost in thought. But as he approached the exit, he was stopped by a familiar presence. Standing in his path was Megumi Fushiguro, his expression serious, his eyes locked onto Yuji.
"We need to talk," Megumi said, his voice firm and unmistakably urgent.
Yuji raised an eyebrow, surprised by the confrontation. "About what?" he asked, though something in Megumi's stance told him this wasn't a casual encounter.
Megumi took a step closer, the air between them tense. "About that cursed object, you're carrying." And thus was the meeting between my GOAT and the infamous, Potential Man.

[Auther: You like? I have leveled up from my character arc...Anyway, I skipped over some stuff, but reworked it, honestly only the part with the Gym Teacher guy.
Any questions? Of course not...I'm not that popular though.
Anyways, There is a main cast and stuff but the protagonist will be overshadowed by everyone else for a while.
Btw, is this a better one than before?
Ciao.]
