I kinda...wanna now. Is this how Gege feels? The Sadism? Btw, Yuko is nice but I'm sorry, I can't include a character who was created because Gege's editors needed Yuji to have romance. And Nobara's better.

As Aoi and Mei Mei were engaged in a heated game of ping pong, the small gym echoed with the rhythmic sound of the ball bouncing back and forth. The two sorcerers were locked in a competitive yet friendly match, with Mei Mei's sharp returns contrasting Aoi's powerful serves.
Aoi, wiping sweat from his brow, suddenly broke the silence. "You know, I'm pretty sure Yuji will accept the recommendation and go on those missions to track down Sukuna's fingers. It'll give us a better chance of running into them. I've got a good feeling about this."
Mei Mei, focused on the game, responded with a smirk. "Oh? And what makes you so confident?"
Aoi grinned, his confidence unshaken. "Well, it's simple. If Yuji's recommended by two or more grade 1 sorcerers, he'll be paired with another grade 1 sorcerer for a few missions. We'll get a better chance to see him in action. And if he proves himself on those missions, he'll get his semi-grade 1 rank. That's when he'll get the opportunity to handle missions on his own."
Mei Mei, serving the ball with precision, returned it sharply. "Interesting theory. But you know, the sorcerer who recommends him can't be the one who accompanies him on those missions."
Aoi's eyes widened in disbelief as he received the ball back, Mei Mei scoring a point. "What do you mean? I thought—"
Mei Mei cut him off with a nonchalant shrug, her expression calm. "Yeah, the rules are clear. The sorcerer who recommends the candidate can't be the one to accompany them on their missions. That means if you're the one putting in the recommendation, you won't be the one working with Yuji."
Aoi's face fell, the realization hitting him like a ton of bricks. The strategy he had in mind now seemed to crumble, leaving him disheartened. "So, that means... I won't be able to work with Yuji directly?"
"Exactly," Mei Mei said, finishing the game with a final, decisive shot. "That's how the system works. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go. Enjoy the rest of your day."
As Mei Mei gathered her things and left, Aoi stood there, feeling deflated. The prospect of working with Yuji on missions had been something he looked forward to, but now he faced the reality that he wouldn't have the chance to directly mentor or collaborate with him.
In a dimly lit, high-tech facility far from the bustling cities, Kokichi Muta, a student from Kyoto Jujutsu Tech, sat alone in his sterile, metallic room. His pale face, illuminated by the glow of various monitors and medical apparatuses, reflected a mix of anxiety and introspection.
He pondered his actions, wrestling with the weight of his dual life. Despite the ongoing investigation by Satoru Gojo and the other teachers at Jujutsu High, Kokichi had remained the elusive mole, operating in the shadows. A bitter laugh escaped his lips, followed by a quiet, pained sob. The conflicting emotions seemed almost too heavy to bear.
As he winced from the pain, Kokichi's thoughts drifted to his past, to the very moment of his birth. Born with a Heavenly Restriction, he had been cursed with an extraordinary paradox. His body, though frail and weak, was sustained by a top-of-the-line life-support machine—a stark contrast to the immense power of his Cursed Energy and his formidable technique.
Kokichi remembered the doctors' grim faces as they explained the nature of his condition. The sunlight felt like a scorching burn against his skin, each breath was a reminder of his fragility, and his body was constantly at the mercy of sophisticated machinery.
His existence was a constant struggle between the powerful curse inside him and the feeble vessel it inhabited.
A deep sense of longing filled him. He wished he could trade his immense Cursed Energy for a normal, healthy body. The idea of living a mundane life, free from the burden of curses and their dark intricacies, seemed like a distant dream. The thought of being a regular person, oblivious to the world of curses, appealed to him more than the harsh reality he faced daily.
In his quest for normalcy, Kokichi had made a deal with Geto's group. The bargain was simple yet profound: he would serve as their mole, providing invaluable information while working against Jujutsu High from within.
