What an exausting day

Chapter-Five

-Satoru Gojo's POV-

"...So that's why we must plant more trees, kids. Trees will save our planet." Shizu-sensei said while pointing at the picture of Earth burning up.

If she really knew about the supernatural side of the world she'd not care about things like this. Like a bit of fucking smoke is gonna hurt Gaia? A fucking Elder God? I say just let it cook. None of the top gods want humanity to end so they'll undo it anyway.

"Yawnnnn~" I can't believe It's been a few weeks since I started coming to school. It feels like I've been here for like years. As someone who's destined to outlive a human I thought my sense of time would be different but it's nothing like that. 

Maybe because of my past life's instincts? Does that mean instinct isn't something that the body remembers but the soul? So if someone were to have a soul swapping technique and swapped my soul to another body, will I still be able to use magic and cursed energy? 

Hmm… That's actually a good doubt. In theory my mana and cursed energy is 'inside' my body, more concentrated in my torso than limbs and head. But I don't know if it is my soul producing it or my body. The logical answer would be body as bloodline is actually an important factor in everything related to supernatural things.

But I also vividly remember things like 'dreaming' or 'floating' after my death and before my birth here. So if I consider myself to be formed right when my body as a foetus started forming. That would mean my soul was basically there from the very beginning. 

But considering that I've 'inherited' my technique from my ancestors, my body could be the one who holds the info on how to use 'limitless'. So if my soul and body were ever to be separated there is only a few possibilities, either I can use 'limitless' and 'mana'or I can use one of the two and finally the one which is the most possible to happen, I die.

After all, my body, mind and soul all three are united to form 'me'. So if one of them is disturbed, 'me' as a whole will no longer be, 'me'.

Sheesh, I learned something new which is not useless. This hasn't happened in a while.

"Why are you yawning in the middle of the day, Satoru?" Marin, who was now sitting besides me, asked. As for why she changed places, I don't know. She was just sitting there one day and I rolled with it.

"I didn't sleep well last night." I said and laid on the bench. I have to say, it is really nice to sleep in the middle of a class.

"What were you doing? 

"Chasing a curse."

"Huh? What?" I could literally feel her confusion.

"A curse got loose nearby so I reckoned I'd do something nice for a change and exorcised it after playing for a while."

"Hmph!" She hit my shoulder slightly and said, "If you don't wanna say it fine!" (A/N: Yes guys, he doesn't have 'infinity' active for 24/7. AHHH what a surprise am I right? No seriously even his fallen-human brain can't handle that much load)

But I'm telling the truth though… whatever…

.

.

.

"How come none of our senseis are noticing you sleeping? It should be obvious with how tall you are" Just let me sleep peacefully.

"Magic…" 

"I should have expected that kind of reply…" She sighed and finally stopped talking.

Truly we live in a society. Even when I'm telling the truth nobody's believing me. Makes me wonder what kind of reaction she'd have if I were to show her the reality and popping the 'bubble' she's living in. 

Hmmm… this is hard.

I really consider her as my first, best and currently only friend so I don't want to keep her in this 'bubble' while she's open with me. Knowing her character she'd take it pretty well if I were to just say it now instead of dragging it like a shonen rom-com.

 I don't wanna give an 'illusion' that I'm close to someone while I'm far… very far away from them in reality.

.

.

.

.

In a way that's exactly what my technique does… that's kinda amazing and sad at the same time.

What happened to me? Feeling all this sad and all. Is this my red flag? Am I gonna have 'character development' or something? Anyway I've decided to show her the reality.

I slept for the rest of the day and woke up only to eat and went to sleep again. Since I was using magic to tweak the mind of others around except Marin, nobody noticed me sleeping. I didn't do anything more than that. 

Imagination = Magic, Fallen magic for the win!

Unlike the inferior beta Human magic invented by an old fart named Merlin, Fallen magic… well not exactly fallen magic as devils, angels and fallen all use the same biblical magic which is just imagination. Big man J really went in big on his system.

It would have been great if the system was self sufficient though, the recent rumour is that another high-level Sacred gear, by the name of soul striker was prompted to the same level as the og 13 longinus. This has now become not even that rare either.

The og 13 is now 43 including the soul striker. Ever since Big G of the bible died, yeah big news! Literally the whole of Shinto, Youkai and Sorcerers know that. It is really a genuine wonder how the church and angels managed to keep it a secret. Back to my rant, since the god of the bible died, the limiter placed by his system on the souls sealed on the sacred gear was removed. So most of them just got out of their gear and reincarnated or became an independent sacred gear.

The only exceptions to this are the 13 gears and some powerful gears which are still restricted by the system since the angels still have level of authority in the system. I wonder how the souls in them feel? Beings like Regulus Naema, the heavenly dragons and even Canis Lycan. The ones who once were the top of the food chain are in a prison and now put inside a human. Well it's not the worst I reckon, they can at least chill and watch how a human lives… and mastubate.

As for how I know all of this? Apparently my Father was an absolute nerd for sacred gears and would gush at the sight of them, according to my mom and wouldn't stop talking about them to my mom. Who wouldn't stop talking about them to me whenever possible. I'm pretty sure they got together because of sacred gears.

You may wonder how come I can think while sleeping? 

This is the best skill I learnt in this life. I don't know if I'm able to do this because I'm a reincarnated being, but I can use my 'mind' separately from my 'body' and 'soul'. Unlike the other two where I can distinguish between them, I'm able to use my 'mind' while my body is sleeping. It's like a lucid dream but just that everything is blank. 

My thinking time got interrupted by someone as they shook me awake.

"Hey Satoru, it's time to go home." It was Marin.

I sat up and wiped the tiredness of my eyes and stretched my arms a bit, "Already? Time sure passes by in a flash."

"For you maybe, I felt like I stayed here for a day." She put on her bag and said with obvious annoyance.

Did something happen when I was asleep? I looked around and spotted nothing out of the ordinary.

"Did something happen?"

"...No." She answered after a bit of hesitation. Something definitely happened.

"Just tell me what happened, I hate drama." 

She looked at me for a bit with her 'puppy-eyes' which may have worked on my mom, but it's not effective on me who knows her very well.

"*Tsk* fine… I just bit my tongue while talking ok? It's not a big deal, "she said and started to walk towards the door.

Does she think I'll believe that? Whatever, I'll get the truth out of her.

—---------------------------------------------------------------

-A while ago-

-Marin Kitagawa-

How come nobody is asking anything about Satoru sleeping?

I looked at Satoru, who was lying on the table, sleeping comfortably. I wonder what's going on in his head?

It's only been a few weeks since he came here but even that is weird. It's almost time for the summer vacation and he 'transferred' here? It is like a manga. When I asked him how, he always says things like magic. Maybe its like mom said,

'Magic? That kid probably means money. His family name was Gojo right? That family is famous and owns a quarter of Tokyo.'

But he doesn't look like a rich kid at all. He has no golden rings and chains or an expensive bag. 

But I don't care about those anymore. He can tell me about that whenever he wants to, I just wish he would come to the park with me after school. All the other kids are playing in the park with their friends after school and I wanna play too.

But he always refuses to come.

Hmph! This dummy! I'll avoid him to show what I feel like.

.

.

.

-Present-

".... It's not a big deal!" I shouted and walked away quickly.

I know it was a bad idea to wake him up but I can't just leave him alone there. For whatever reason none of our classmates and teachers even see him sleeping so what if they lock the room with him sleeping? 

I wanted to avoid him but now I already talked to him. 

"Hey why are you… walking this fast?" He already caught up to me? 

I didn't reply and just walked down the stairs. He didn't wanna play with me so it's his fault!

"Why aren't you talking?"

Because of you.

"Is this a new game of yours?"

Hmph!

"Are you angry at me?"

Yeah. 

"Do you wanna pee?"

Huh?

"No!" I immediately denied while being flustered. How can he say something like that in front of others? I looked around to see if others heard it but luckily they didn't seem to have.

"Now you talk." He folded his hands and said with a smirk. Something tells me he did this knowing I'd react like this.

"Hmph!" I turned around and started walking again. I'm too embarrassed to say the reason to him so I'll just walk away.

"Again?" He questioned and I could hear him trying to catch up to me.

 And he did catch up to me in no time. I thought he'd be slow with how lazy he was but he's surprisingly fast

"At Least tell me why are you upset?.Did I do something wrong?" 

He's finally understanding! Yay.

"Is it because I ate your meat ball without asking?"

Now that I remember t-

"Or for talking bad about that blue raccoon?"

"His name is Doraemon. And he's a cat robot!"

"Made you talk again." He grinned again.

"Can you stay quiet!?" I shouted at him. I was an idiot for thinking this guy would understand me anyway!

The rest of the way we walked in silence and he didn't say a word. And now that I'm thinking straight? 

Why is he even following me? Aren't our homes literally in the opposite direction?

"Are you guys having a fight?"

 Huh?

I turned around to see Tanaka-kun of all people, standing under the shadow of a tree while leaning on the wall behind him. He was having his hands folded and his hair which was now longer than it used to be, hid his eyes perfectly. 

Of course he's here, we live on the same street.

"Hmm… you could say that." Before I could even understand what's happening, Satoru replied.

"I see… need my help, Gojo-san?"

Gojo-san? When did they even meet?

"I got this."

"I see. Good luck" Tanaka-kun nodded and walked away.

Am I dreaming or something?

"When did you even meet Tanaka-kun?" I asked Satoru to break the silence. It was too awkward for me to bare.

"Tanaka? I taught him how to use magic." 

Argh… so he just didn't want to play with me…

"Magic this and magic that! If you don't want to tell me something just say it straight that you don't wanna be my friend!!" I tried to push him, but it felt like I was pushing a brick wall. I just pushed myself back.

It hurts…

"It's not like you are my friend either! I hated you from the day I met you!!"

I should not cry!! I want to make him feel bad for avoiding me after school while teaching this magic stuff to other kids.

"*Hic*"

"Mari-"

"I don't wanna talk to you!!" I ran away, I don't want to see his smirking face while I'm crying like this!

Huh? Why does it feel weird?

I opened my eyes to see that I was standing in the same place I started to run from, "What?" I wondered out loud.

"I told you right? I really know magic." 

I turned back to see Satoru, uncharacteristically not smiling or smirking. I turned my attention from his face to his hands and I was shocked.

There was a ball of fire above his palm.

"Ha- Wa- Im-" I was a stuttering mess. My mother lied to me. Anime isn't a lie.

"I really did not notice how much it bothered you before.."

No… that's not what bothered me. I wanted to say it very much but my words didn't come out for some reason.

But I really felt bad.

He looked at me somewhat differently… is he flustered? I've never seen him blushing, even when we bumped hands sometimes I was the only one who was blushing. 

"I'm sorry… I guess" He awkwardly scratched the back of his head while blushing and avoiding looking at me.

*PFFFFTTTT!* It just made me laugh out loud. 

I thought this guy was the cool kid type! 

"Hahahaha! What's with that face!?" I can't ever forget that face!

"You should look at your face!!" 

He made a ball of water and dropped it on the ground and looked at his reflection, "Nothing different from usual though.."

"Haha… Stop, I can't… my belly hurt… ahaha…" Ahhh… I'm gonna die!

"Does this mean I'm forgiven?"

I finally stopped laughing and wiped my tears. Hmm… should I forgive him?

"If you teach me magic then I'll forgive you."

"Deal."

................................

-Tanaka Shindo-

"So why did you call us here, Tanaka?" 

"Hello Tanaka-san."

It's a wonder how these two are even brothers. One is the bully and the other is the victim, I wonder how things go in their house.

"I saw something spicey today…"

"Spicey?"x2

"How big was it!?" "Was it a chilli?"

"Chili!? He's talking about women deku!"

"Womenbuttanakasanisn'tlikethatbuthecouldbeafterallgojosanwastheonewho"

"What the…" What is this otherworldly chant? Is he summoning a creature from the void.

"Don't mind him, he becomes like that so how big was it?" Bakugo asked with a passion that I've never seen in him.

"Sadly it's not what you're thinking about Bakugo."

"Mann~ I was really excited…"

You were just horny.

"So what is it, Tanaka-san?" At least Midoriya is interested

"To get to that, I'll start from our origins. Until a few weeks ago, we were nothing but unaware mortals who just existed and lived a meaningless life…."

"But I liked anime" Don't interrupt me Midoriya.

"We are six bro.." 

"BUT! We were enlightened by our saviour GOJO-SAN, our humble teacher- no MASTER! Who didn't even want us to call him with honorifics! He brought us three, thought were in the same class but never got along, together as brothers in the same cause! Burdened with the glorious purpose of serving under GOJO-SAN!!" 

"He literally said he was teaching us because he was bored."

"But he chose us nonetheless!"

"Umm… we were the only kids in that park that day, Tanaka-san."

I'll pretend I didn't hear that, "So it is our prime duty to help our master get along with Marin!"

"Don't they already get along well?" Bakugo asked.

"Yes, but I saw them have a fight a while ago. So it's our duty as his disciples to help him!!" 

"Did it ever strike you that he got it himself?" 

"Bakugo, I have no doubt that our master has it under control. But we can help him, so I made a big plan and I need both of your help. Are you in!?"

"W-"

"I knew you won't disappoint me!"

—---------------------------------------------

-3rd Person's POV-

"So I can't use magic like you because I'm just a human?" Marin asked Satoru.

Both of them were sitting on a bench in a park. Satoru casted a human repellent spell on the place so any human would subconsciously avoid entering the park, but it doesn't work if the said human knows even a bit of magic.

"That's not exactly correct but you are right." Satoru nodded. He just explained the basics of how human magic worked to her while also showing her his wings.

"That sucks~ but can I see your wings?" She didn't even mind learning magic after seeing his wings, she really liked how soft and warm they were.

"Really?" But Satoru was annoyed. 

"Pretty please?"

"Fine." Satoru reluctantly agreed. He didn't like others touching his wings but he didn't mind Marin touching it. In his mind she's not one of the 'others'.

"So soft~ I wanna have one like this too~" She started stroking the feathers of his wings. 

Unlike devils who have wings like bats which look hideous with certain exceptions being a few nobel devils whose wings are different, A fallen angel's wings are literally angel wings except instead of the white they're black.

"It's not possible, but you can become a devil pretty easily though." He said while adjusting his back to sit comfortably.

"Really? Do they have wings like this too?"

"...Kinda… but it is like a bat's so I don't know if it would be as soft as you want it to be.."

"Then I don't wanna." She continued to play with his feathers.

"Will it hurt if I pull out a feather?"

"It will sting. It's like pulling out a strand of hair, you can try it. They grow back within a few minutes."

"Thanks." She didn't even hesitate and pulled out a feather, while closing her eyes.

'She's weird… why even bother closing your eyes when you're the one pulling it out?' Satoru thought but brushed it off as her quirk.

"You took it better than I thought. I didn't expect you to believe all I said." 

"Well it wasn't hard to believe. Like you have white hair, glowing blue eyes which was weird. I've seen your evidence and I'm loving it. But knowing that gods are real is a shocker." she said while playing with the feather and poking it on herself.

She didn't look like she'd let his wing go anytime soon. 

'Was it a mistake?' Satoru was starting to doubt his decision.

But suddenly they were interrupted by a loud noise.

*BAAM!!*

Out of nowhere three shadowy figures jumped out of the bushes. All of them were wearing a cloak over them and each had a Monkey, Clown and Banana? Masks respectively.

"We are the Sendai Snakes!" x3 all of them shouted at the same time.

"Tana-" Just as Satoru was about to ask, he was interrupted by the clown mask.

"UAHAHAHAHAHA! You both better be prepared to take this back!"

"Take what back?" Marin asked, confused, she had no idea what was going on. They looked like the bad guys from power rangers for her.

"I know who you are, Kigatawa Marin! I took your precious pikachu keychain!" The clown mask said as he revealed what was inside his hands, it was a cute little pikachu keychain.

"Wha!?" Shocked, Marin looked at her bag, only to find her keychain to still be there.

"Haha, then you took the wrong one cause mine is still in my bag!" She smirked back at them.

Satoru was just confused as to why she was suddenly into this stupid skit.

"Hoho, jokes on you! I took the one from your home!" The clown mask said back.

The monkey mask and banana mask both looked at Satoru and bowed their heads a bit. Both of them were sure that they got recognised. Satoru found it fun so he remained silent.

"What! How did you get in my room!? Satoru, are they a villain group in our city? Please get my keychain back." Marin looked back at Satoru and pleaded with teary eyes. As someone who watched too many kid's anime, she thought they were the bad guys.

"Yeah…" 'She's so innocent.. Or idiotic'

Before any of them could even react, Satoru was already behind them. All they saw was a flash of blue eyes and the next thing they knew, the bright blue sky was directly in front of them.

*Thuds*x3

"Ouch!" "Ah!" Fucking hell!" Each of them reacted in their own way.

"Here, have it." Satoru tossed the keychain to Marin who caught it with glee and happiness.

"I'm genuinely curious about what made you guys do this?" Satoru crouched down to the three 'villains' level and took off the mask from the clown guy.

"TANAKA-KUN!!?" Only Marin was surprised. She never expected her cool and collected emo friend to say things like that.

-Satoru Gojo's POV-

What happened to these guys?

"Ha…ha… surprise?" Tanaka scratched the back of his hair and said awkwardly. Did he think I couldn't recognise him before?

"What happened to you man?" I asked with genuine concern. 

The Tanaka I knew was the perfect example for a real life Sasuke.

I looked at Tanaka for answers, but he just blushed and looked at the ground. Seeing that he wasn't answering I turned to look at my other ;disciples' as they called themselves for an answer.

"*Sigh~* For the record I had no say in this plan" Bakugo removed his banana mask revealing his face.

"Bakugo!!? You Too?? Then is that Midoriya?"

"It was obvious Marin," I sighed.

\Who the hell other than them has sand and green hair.

"Tanaka said that, you both," He pointed at me and Marin "Had a fight and as your… friends it was our duty to help you."

Why the fuck is he also blushing? And friends huh…. Guess we are.

"Um- can I remove my mask now? It's kinda itchy." 

"Haaaa…. Yes Deku…" Bakugo said while grinding his teeth.

Damn, the vein on his forehead is thick as fuck.

Suddenly I felt Marin pat my back from behind.

"What?" I asked.

"When did you become friends with them? I never saw you talk in school." She said with an annoyed look.

'Why is she annoyed now?'

"I'll answer that!" Tanaka, who was silent until now, sprung up with an overwhelming enthusiasm.

"Gojo-san found all three of us worthy of his teachings and accepted us as his disciples!" He said with a huge pride.

…What? 

"That's not how I remember it-"

"You taught them magic that easily and I had to cry for you to teach me!! Am I not your friend!?" Marin looked like she was about to cry again. 

"You ARE my friend Marin. My best friend at that." I don't want her to doubt that again. I know I may be kind of an asshole 80 percent of the times we were together. But she still considered me a friend, I don't know if there's anything more I need in a friend.

"Really?" She stopped her crying and asked with shock? 

At least she stopped crying and Tanaka…

I looked at him, he was looking at me with pride? Does he want to be appreciated for what he did?

'Your dead' I mouthed it to him but this guy didn't even notice it. I looked at Bakugo and Midoriya, both of them just looked away.

"Yeah. And for the record I only taught these guys because I was bored. They can't do anything noteworthy either, all they can do is feel mana."

"Yay~" Marin immediately lost all her previous sadness and was now happy, very much at that.

This girl…. She's an enigma to me.

"Hey! I can make fire."

"So can a lighter Midoriya." Now I understand how Gramps feel.

..............................................

"Haaa…. What an exhausting day…"

I'm currently on my way home after parting with Marin and the other boys. No that's a lie, I stayed with the boys a while after Marin left to let them know my 'boundaries'.

In summary I beat the shit out of them. Which may sound a little much but, I'm kinda pissed. I know they wanted to help me, but what they did was stupid. And it's not like I beat them much either, just a bonk in the head for Bakugo and Midoriya and a punch to the guts for Tanaka which made him puke. Some may call this abuse but I call it tough love.

After talking with Bakugo and Midoriya I found out that Tanaka has developed some sort of cult leader persona, worshipping me as some sort of god.

"Should I be worried?" I wondered out loud. Afterall he may cause some troubles in the future.

"That's for future me to worry about." I'm such a 'pro'castinator.

I entered my family's compound and greeted the old man who always sits there and went towards my house. Even after all this time I've seen it, our land is huge. It's on the edge of Sendai, a lot further away from the active city side. 

It's really amazing how all of this will just be mine after I become the next head of the clan.

To some it may look like I'm being arrogant, but nah… this is confidence. My only weakness was domains, the key word being 'was' with simple domain and Rakka no Jō[Falling Blossom Emotion] I won't die easily, as long as someone like Shiva or Lucifer fought me.

"I'm home~"

A/N

Only got one more.
