Capítulo 9: Hot coffee
In a cosy corner of the cafe, Ray and Hakari sat across from each other at a small wooden table. Sunlight filtered through sheer curtains, casting a warm glow on the scene.
Ray's finger rhythmically tapped the table while he glanced outside. Hakari, on the other hand, took out a lollipop which was placed on the table. He smiled and enjoyed the taste of sweets.
He looked at Ray and said. " Hey, let's play some game. "
Ray glanced at Hakari and asked. " Game? "
" Yeah. Although we made a pretty good team, You and I are pretty much strangers. That's why I proposed a game. "
" Five questions. Three actions. "
Ray nodded. " I see. "
" I will start. " Hakari smiled. " What is your goal? "
" I have nothing like that. Just stay in the flow and enjoy the life. " Ray sighed. " It is boring, right? "
" I can see your point. " Hakari replied. " Second question. Who teaches you? "
" Myself. " Ray clenched his heart.
" Impressive. So that is why you don't use the simple domain at that time. " Hakari said.
" Simple domain? " Ray tilted his head, asking Hakari to go further with that.
But the latter shook his head. " You will learn sooner or later. Next question. Any girlfriend? "
Ray frowned. " No. "
" Favourite music? "
Ray scratched his head. " That is a tough question. It depends on the mood. "
" Probably, Dark side of the moon. "
" A good choice. Finally, the final question. Do you want to join with me? " Hakari asked.
Ray's eyes glanced in interest. The previous question had been fun and light. " What do you mean by that? "
The maid came with a smile while carrying two hot coffees. She placed it carefully in front of the two.
" Here. Have a nice time. Call me if you need anything. " The maid smiled at them. Ray thought, ' Cute. '
Hakari took a spoon and tasted the coffee. " Bitter. "
" Higher-ups are trash. I don't like any of them. " Hakari explained. " My vision and theirs are not in line. I yearned for freedom. Freedom for jujutsu sorcerers. "
Ray stopped him. " No. Don't wash my brain yet. I want to experience being a sorcerer myself. "
Hakari nodded. " I am just telling. You have a place. Your turn. "
" I will collect those five questions for now. "
Hakari laughed.

One week had passed.
Ray adjusted to living inside Jujutsu High. This place was peaceful. Hakari visited his place a few times with his friend.
They helped him move heavy objects. Today was training day.
That is what Gojo said.
Right now, they were on the field.
" So what are you going to teach me? " Ray asked warming up his body.
" Nothing. I don't want to give you a head. " Gojo said. " For now, I will tell you basic knowledge about jujutsu sorcerer. "
Gojo cracked his fingers. " Now, don't use cursed techniques. "
Ray nodded. " And why are we fighting? "
" Legend said, harsh knowledge can be given by smacking. " Gojo replied.
Ray frowned. " I never heard any legend say about that. " He took a stance.
" Now you hear it. " Gojo said. He disappeared in front of Ray.
Gojo kicked in front of him, knocking the air out of Ray. But Ray grabbed the extended leg and was ready to strike at the groin area.
" Oh. "
" No, you don't. "
The supported leg came forward aiming at Ray's leg. He saw a black blur before spinning in the air.
' Fast and strong. ' Ray noted as he got up. He noticed blood dripping from his nose.
" Jujutsu sorcerer's jobs are simple. They just need to defend the cursed spirit against humanity. "
Ray shouted and dashed. " I know. "
Gojo caught the incoming punch, " We have a lot of rules but I will tell you two important ones. "
" Don't kill non-sorcercers. " Gojo guided his fist and aimed the elbow to Ray's chest.
" And Don't let them see you. Understand? "
Ray was gasping for breath. The blow looked weak but the cursed energy in that hit was massive. ' So you can achieve that kind of attack but just manipulating cursed energy. '
" What if they attack me first? " Ray asked as he lay on the ground.
" That depends on the situation. Just stay alive if that happens. " Gojo said. He took out a book and threw it at Ray.
" Read this. Your card has been placed on the book. " Gojo walked away.
Ray glanced at the book.
[ Basic cursed energy - Gojo.]
' I don't think he would be that serious about being a teacher. ' Ray took the book and walked under the tree. He sat down.
The wind's playful fingers ruffled his hair and rustled the leaves above, creating a soft symphony of whispers.
Ray found his student card.
' Grade - 1.' He thought. ' Probably semi Grade -1.'
***
The school started.
Panda and Maki were walking on the street. Panda carried a long staff while Maki had books.
" Panda, I heard we had a new student. " Maki said.
" Ehh. Aren't we also new students? "
Maki slapped at Panda's back. " Stupid, you know what I mean. "
" Hakari said he is a good guy so you shouldn't worry about that much. " Panda ensured.
Maki opened the door to the school facility. " Don't take that guy's words seriously. You know he is a problem student. "
" But he is our senpai. "
" Kelp. "
Maki lifted her hand and waved. " Yo! I am surprised you are here. We are looking for you. "
Toge nodded and pointed at the class. " Tuna Tuna. "
" What the matter? Who is inside the classroom? " Panda asked and he looked inside.
The man, his black hair covered his eyes, sometimes the wind lifted that hair revealing a sleeping pair of eyes. His Jujutsu High uniform was tailored like a jacket.
He wore a grey shirt.
" Tell me what is it? "Maki said and entered the room. Her eyes fixed on Ray. ' He is strong. '
Ray woke up from the noise. He felt eyes scanning his body. He stood up and looked in the direction of the door. He smiled and said. " Nice to meet you. "
He walked and extended his hand for a handshake.

Author's note
Before the start of the night parade of a hundred demons, I wanted to make a mini-arc with this class while introducing the world.
Like foreign curse users. And local deity.
