As the two talked, someone who everyone in the community loves but is hated by the higher-ups stormed into the room.
"Woah! Now that was interesting." Gojo walked in nonchalantly as he looked directly at Arai's eyes.
When Arai saw this, he didn't know why but he felt vulnerable. Like he was a speck of dust within the world. Like an insignificant bug that no one would care if disappeared.
'What the hell is this?! I feel... so weak. Like I have no strength. Who is this guy?' Sweat formed all over his face as it seemed as if he was forced to look at Gojo and could not turn away without his permission.
Just when things were about to escalate, Gojo put back on his sunglasses as he sat down like nothing just happened. Arai's breathing was heavy as fear overwhelmed all his senses.
"Hey Gojo! Don't scare the new student. Always so rude to everyone." Geto had arrived as he shook his head.
"C'mooon. I was just testing him. It's not like he was going to die from that." Gojo rebuked.
"Why are you two here? I didn't say to come in yet." Yaga looked at them angry.
Gojo sat down on a chair as he placed his shoes on the bed. "Yaga-sensei. Shouldn't you let him meet his saviors? I think we deserve our thanks."
'These are the people who saved me? I can just feel the power they are emanating. These guys are on another level!' The others kept arguing as Arai was in his own thoughts. 'I really am not special. I guess that's for the better.'
"Well, I guess you're now my underclassman." Gojo spoke to him as he turned back his attention to Gojo.
He had a wide smile on him as he pulled out a hand. "I, Gojo, the most handsome and powerful sorcerer of all time, welcome you to Jujutsu Tech as a first-year."
"You don't have the right to do that. Though he is going to be at school now." Yaga shook his head. It was honestly tiring to talk to Satoru as his sanity was beginning to thin out.
Gojo wrapped his arm around Arai who looked quite uncomfortable. "Let's show you everything about this school! Bet you're gonna have a blast with me." Gojo quickly dragged Arai out of the room while he yelled out for help yet everyone ignored them.
Looking at the two figures disappearing, Geto turned to Yaga. "I just want to say this. Arai Isao would be better off as a window." Geto spoke as he looked at Yaga. "Frankly, I don't see him even getting semi-first grade. I know that sounds arrogant from me who's special-grade but that's my honest opinion. I don't want to see unnecessary deaths when I can prevent it."
Yaga sighed. "I think so too but he doesn't want to. All we can do is help him grow stronger so that he can stand side by side with us. That's all we can hope for."
Geto still looked skeptical but decided to put those thoughts at the back of his mind. "I'll trust your judgement Yaga-sensei. But who are the other freshmen, I don't know their names nor their techniques or their grades."
Yaga looked outside the window to see Gojo speaking comfortably with Arai who now spoke normally to him. "You'll see."

"And this will be your place! Spacious right? I chose the room myself, don't need to thank me, of course. The other students will be next to you. Isn't that great?!" Gojo looked at Arai extatically as he opened the door showing his new room.
"Uhh... sure?" Arai said uncertain. Mixed emotions ran through his head. 'This man is the guy who scared me with just one look? What the hell happened to the frightening man I just saw? Is this a facade? I don't know. I don't get it.'
"You'll soon be starting your first year here. Hope you're ready for it because you'll be facing death." He lowered his glasses making his blue eyes that shined visible. "So try not to do something stupid like what you just did. Right now, you, Arai, are at the second lowest rank. Honestly it's kind of sad but what that means is that you're weak."
Arai who heard this got annoyed and angry but Gojo intervened before he could say anything. "But this school will help you grow stronger. The curses you faced before are jokes compared to what real threats you'll face in the future. So put your expectations real high cause you're gonna need it."
"Is that sarcastic like everything you've said until now or is that genuine advice."
Gojo looked back at Arai and smirked. "Who knows. But for now, we'll be seeing each other a lot. I've been bored out of my mind lately so sparring with you will be fun."
"I've been meaning to ask that. What is your cursed technique? You've seen mine so it's only fair for me to know yours."
"Well mine isn't that special. It's just something called 'Limitless'. Let's me use the power of the infinity that always surrounds us. Nothing special." Gojo casually said as he continued walking.
"I see." Arai pondered over what he just heard.
'Infinity? He has the power to manipulate infinity... that means that space itself is his domain. Whatever is affected by space which is everything can be manipulated by him.'
The realization of his power dawned on Arai.
This power... it was just broken.
"But you know, manipulating limitless isn't easy. You need to see the cursed energy and space to the level of an atom. Understanding and seeing these things is hard, especially the seeing part. I mean, am I going to use a microscope to fight."
Gojo cackled when he imagined it.
"'Limitless' is a hereditary cursed technique. My clan members have the technique but can't use it. You need to possess these eyes." Gojo pointed to his eyes.
"'Six Eyes'. It's pretty much gives me a wide full range view on cursed energy making me able to see it at such a level that nobody would ever see at the atomic level. With this, manipulating curse energy is much easier and less consuming. Normally, curse users can't fully control their cursed energy so they waste some remnants of it but I am different. You can pretty much see me as a battery that is constantly getting charged."
"Well that's probably why I'm the strongest."
'Wow... the world really is unfair. Why give power to this arrogant bastard? Just because he thinks he's handsome. Tch!' He shook his head getting rid of the thoughts.
'Hm?' Arai suddenly realized something as he watched Gojo smirking while checking himself out in a mirror. It was a page. A pact. He quickly narrowed his eyes as his focus grew until he was able to read its contents.
[Revealing One's Hand: In exchange for revealing one's own technique, curse energy and effectiveness of the technique is elevated.]
Realization dawned on him. He had not only the ability to place pacts on someone but is able to see a pact that was made with oneself. Arai looked down at his hand that was clenched. 'What more can you show me? I'm itching to know.'
"Hey, you know you shouldn't look into me like that."
"Eh?" Arai was confused as he saw Gojo with a serious face. The same eyes that scared him at first were now looking at him again. "I don't know what you just did but it felt like you're looking into my innate domain."
"Innate Domain?" This wasn't a term he had ever heard.
Gojo continued on with his explanation. "Think of it as your mind and soul. Its the projection of our mind formed into a world of our own by curse energy. So... what did you do?"
"I think I uhm... saw your pact?" Arai said nervously.
Hearing this, Gojo was mildly surprised. "Saw my pact? Oh right I wanted to explain that to you and show how a pact works. But you said you saw my pact?"
"Yes? That's right." Arai said meekly. Still remembering the overbearing presence he had witnessed a moment ago.
Gojo began pondering. He had never heard of technique like that before. "Hm... that may be your technique as well. You shouldn't even be able to see someone's pack much less see one's innate domain. A pack is normally placed on oneself and only that person would know unless they told you."
"So I can do more than just place a pact on someone? That's cool. But why didn't Yaga tell me this. He didn't say anything about me looking into his... whatever domain."
"He probably didn't notice. Even I barely detected it, though with my 'Six Eyes' it would of been easy to see that. It's a pretty interesting technique. You should look more into that."
Hearing that he could grow stronger gave him motivation. He had always been stagnated by his lack of power. And having someone affirm that he could still grow, made him reaffirm himself.
"Yes!"
I'll be making him discover more and more about his powers.
