At this moment, Jake is walking down the alley when he saw something he didn't like. It was 3 grown men trying to force a teenage girl to go with them. He quickly went behind them and said, "You'd better leave the girl alone, I don't mind having to brawl with you, but to be honest, you're really weak."
"What do you mean, you don't think we are afraid of you, do you?" One of the men said, while he was looking behind him, only to see what looked like a mountain of muscle.
As he started sweating, Jake said playfully, "Yes, I think you, pitiful examples of a human being, are afraid of me."
As if it got on his nerves, the man who asked Jake lunged at me, with the 2 other men following closely behind. Jake easily dodged to the side, while giving them each a slap on the face, making them roll in the air before falling to the ground, and fainting.
"I'm sorry about this experience, but I have to go now, my big bro is waiting for me," Jake said to the lady, before continuing as he began to walk away, "It would be better for you to not go close to alleys if you don't want this to happen again, there are more of this kind of people out there than you think."
"What is your name, what school do you go to, I want to thank you," The girl asked Jake, as she could tell from his face that he still went to school, "My name is Kaori Houjou."
"My name is Jake Gojo, I don't go to school, however my big bro works at Tokyo Jujutsu Tech, so if I don't find a school I actually want to join, I will go to school there," Jake responded casually before turning the corner back onto the street, while carrying his backpack.
"How about you go to my school, my father is the chairman at the school, you can have a visit," Kaori Houjou followed after him to try and get close to him.
"I can have a visit, but are you sure that the school will be accepting to have someone my size with my muscles, are you sure they would feel safe," Jake asked puzzled because most people he meet other than jujustu sorcerers are afraid of his size.
"I believe you, because you helped me, and my school is very accepting, but school has started last week, shouldn't you have enrolled." Kaori said and asked.
"You shouldn't believe anyone who helps you, it is easy to deceive and betray, no matter what kind of person it is, you can't know their thoughts. As for school Tokyo Jujutsu Tech, it only enrolls a special kind of people, and only enrolls a single digit number of students every year, so people can enroll there at any time of year," Jake responded to Kaori.
"Don't worry about it, so are you going to have a try at my school, and what do you mean by special kind of people," Kaori said to Jake, hoping to get him to join her school.
"Okay, I will go with you to your school, but I am going to have to call my brother and tell him about it," Jake responded before taking out his phone, dialling Satoru Gojo, before continuing, "Let's go, I will call my big bro to tell him about it."
"Okay, let's go, I will inform my dad as well," Kaori said before leading the way.
As they continued to walk, they finished their calls, and finally arrived at the school, just before it starts. Kaori continued to lead the way to the chairman's office where Jake enters before Kaori.
After he sat down, the chairman introduced himself, "Thank you for coming, it's an honor, Jake Gojo, I'm the chairman of the board at Ousei, Tsukasa Houjou."
He continued after a pause, "Kaori has told me a great deal about you, thank you for saving my daughter," Tsukasa Houjou bowed to Jake gratefully.
Jake responded by saying, "I don't think I saved your daughter, I just happened to pass through there, that's all."
"Well you were the only one that didn't look away," Kaori refuted Jake.
"You should be proud of yourself, it shows that you have great character, that is valued above all else at our school," Tsukasa said as he began to sit down on the sofa in the room.
After he sat down on the seat, he continued to say, "Ill get straight to the point, I will be greatly honoured if you decide to attend our institution. And to personally thank you for saving my daughter, there won't be any need to concern yourself with paying tuition."
"I thank you for the offer, and I will accept your proposal," Jake replied politely to the chairman.
Tsukasa Houjou walked to the window to look outside and said, "If you decide to stay here, you should challenge yourself in many ways, while having fun. It might be difficult for you to find people that don't care about your size and feel safe around you anywhere else, but here it shouldn't be as difficult."
Tsukasa looks at Jake and says, "As I am aware that this is a lot to take in, so how about spending this day as a trial enrollment, and you can decide at the end of the day, after you get acquainted with this school."
At this moment their was a knock at the door.
"Impeccable timing as always, please come in," Tsukasa said to the person outside the door.
As the door opened, what came into the room was a woman with messy silverfish pink hair, that reaches down to her lower back, with brown eyes, and wearing light fuchsia lipstick, wearing a sage green tank top, with black pants and flats, with a white lab coat over the top, that reaches down to her ankles. She has a hourglass figure, comes in.
"Hello there," the woman says while raising her hand giving it a wave
"Ms Sawada, you always brighten the room," Kaori replied to the woman who is now known as Ms Sawada.
"I think it would be a good icebreaker if Jake was able to experience your class while visiting the academy," Tsukasa Houjou says.
"I completely agree," Ms Sawada says before continuing, "There's no need to be so nervous, anything you want to learn you just have to ask, okay."
"I know, I will tell you if I have anything to learn," Jake replied to Ms Sawada.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
At this time Jake is outside the classroom, waiting to be introduced.
"Alright take your seats, we have an announcement to make," Ms Sawada says in the classroom.
"Oh pick me," Someone in the classroom asked.
"What's this special announcement?" Another person asked.
"If you give me a second I'll tell you," Ms Sawada replies
"Alright Jake, Come on in," Ms Sawada says to the door before continuing to say to the classroom, "Don't let him shake you."
As Jake opened the door and walked in, he went to the front of the classroom and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Jake Gojo, I am grateful to be able to participate in a trial period in this classroom, please take care of me," He finished saying before giving a tiny bow.
There was silence in the classroom that made Jake uncomfortable.
'He's insanely handsome,' A red haired girl in the class thinks, 'What an absolute hunk'.
'I'm definitely shaken up,' A black haired girl with her hair in a pony tail thinks.
'A formidable rival, it's about time,' A yellow haired boy in the classroom thinks while playing with his hair.
Ms Sawada claps 3 times before saying, "Can you all try not looking so stupefied, you're making Jake uncomfortable."
Ms Sawada turns towards Jake before saying, "you can have a seat, there is an available one by the window at the back."
After Jake heard this he went to the back to take a seat, and looked at who was sitting next to him, it was a girl, with short black hair that has several dyed blue streaks all over with bangs swept to the left side, perpetually sleepy-looking blue eyes and she has a neutral expression.
"Okay then, let's get started with the lesson," Ms Sawada says, interrupting Jake's thoughts.
"Everyone open your textbooks," Ms Sawada says, before remembering, "Jake you can look off Hyoudou's right next to you."
After that, the girl next to Jake, moved her desk to combine with Jake's, slightly moving the textbook to the middle of the two desks.
"Hello, it's a pleasure, my names Jake," Jake introduced himself to the girl.
"Yes, it is, a pleasure, my name is Yukine Hyoudou," The girl introduced herself with a flat tone, which puzzled Jake so he asked.
"Did I do something to offend you, if so, tell me so I can correct it, or are you a little shy?" Jake asked Yukine Hyoudou.
Slightly startled, Yukine Hyoudou responded, "I am just a little shy, let's do the work."
"Okay," Jake replied before focusing on the lesson.
As the time passed, during the lesson, Jake discovered that Yukine Hyoudou was cursed. The curses intensity is at the level of Special Grade. Startled by his discovery, Jake decided to follow her to a place without people, with the risk to be labeled a stalker or pervert, to make sure she is safe.
'The learning at Ousei is similar to my previous school, it is still trivially easy, however it is slightly different, the students here are much more active, and lively,' Jake thought.

*Bell rings*
At this time, lots of students are surrounding Jake, asking him questions.
"Are you free, I have something to ask," A girl asked Jake.
"No, I am not free, sorry you may have to wait until another time," Jake replied.
"So what school are you currently attending," Another girl asked.
"I am currently not attending a school," Jake continued to reply to the questions.
"So, are you in any club," A boy with a shaven head asked.
"No, I am not."
"Do you have a girlfriend," Another girl asked.
"No, I do not have a girlfriend."
"Are you a pop idle or something," A guy asked.
"No, I am not."
"How did you get so muscular," another guy asked
"By training till near death."
"You realise you are overwhelming him, right," A fit boy with brown hair said, "the poor guy has probably not even had lunch yet, for now let's save the questions!"
"Your right, how rude of me," A girl said as she began to walk away.
"Yeah, I wasn't thinking," A boy said as he also began to walk away.
After the rest left, the fit boy with brown hair and purple eyes said, "Sorry, can't say I blame them, we are curious about you, including me."
Jake said, "It's no problem, and you are?
"My name is Ryou Igarashi, Ryou is fine," The fit man paused for a second and continued, "Is it cool to call you Jake, nice meeting you."
"Yeah, you can call me Jake," Jake replied.
"Well, anyway I am going to head to the cafeteria if you wanna come along?" Ryou asked.
"You don't mind?" Jake asked him back.
"Of course not, let's go," Ryou responded before urging him.
At the cafeteria, Jake was looking at the choices with awe at the huge variety they have.
"Yeah, I know, everyone reacts that way the first time they come her," Ryou said as he put his arm around Jake familiarly.
"This is, different," Jake said before pausing for a moment, "Everything on the menu is 500 yen or less."
As Jake was thinking about what to get, Ryou said to him, "If you don't know what to get there is always the daily special, best part is it's free."
"Really, I will get that then," Jake said to Ryou, before going and getting the food.
After they grabbed their food, they started to look for a place to sit down
At this time, at a table, a black haired, short man, with yellow eyes, and glasses, waved his hand and said in a somewhat loud voice to the two of them saying, "Ryou, over here, There is room for both of you!"
"Thanks a ton, Shingo," Ryou said back to the man, as him and Jake went over there and sat down.
The man known as Shingo said to Jake, "I don't know if you saw me, but we are in the same class, my name is Shingo Kurata, it's nice meeting you."
"Yeah, I saw you, it's nice meeting you too," Jake responded.
Ryou started a conversation by saying, "By the way, did you guys see yesterdays Super Heavy Mecha Lord God Robo?"
Shingo Kurata responded, "It was mega fun, right."
"Dude it was absolute fire!" Ryou continued to say, "It's no wonder you suggested that I sit down and give it a shot!"
"Is it an anime, I haven't watched them for a long time, I guess I will give it a shot when I get back home," Jake asked, before deciding on watching it.
"I recommended him some shows and now he's hooked," Shingo Kurata said to Jake.
Ryou turned to Jake and said, "If he picked it out, then it's not going to be a dud. You should ask him for some recs.
As they began to eat, Jake could feel lots of people staring at him, he asked the two of them, "Why are lots of people staring at me, is it my clothes, or is it my body?"
Ryou answered for him, "It's not that, it's your face."
Shingo also asked a question, "By the way, Jake, are you in any clubs?"
"No, because I haven't gone to school for a long time, maybe 2 - 3 years, but if I did join a club, it would be the Occult Research Club," Jake replied.
"Why the Occult Research Club!" Ryou asked Jake.
"Because, it feels like it would be fun," Jake replied, "Did you two join any clubs, you look like you have?"
"You think so, well i am a member of the going home club," Ryou responded.
"Not any sporting club, you are really athletic?"Jake asked Ryou.
Shingo responded instead of Ryou, "Ryou here, he is good at practically every sport, so lots of places invited him to join. The only problem is, he couldn't decide which ones to say yes to."
Ryou continued to say while eating, "Here's the thing, I know i sound indecisive, but I will never turn down the chance to have fun and take on any challenge."
"Oh, did I mention, I am in the gaming club," Shingo said as he took a gaming console out of his bag, showing it to Jake.
"Awesome, we can bring games to school!" Jake exclaimed before asking, "But don't the teachers or staff here take it off of you.
"I mean why not. The teachers know we aren't going to just bust them out during a lesson Jake," Shingo responded
"Hey did you go buy the latest one, let me see?" Ryou asked Shingo, before trying to get a good view.
"Of course," Shingo replied.
"Come on Jake, you should play with us," Ryou said to Jake.
"Yeah, it's even more fun," Shingo agreed.
"Okay, I will have a go," Jake replied before getting up, to play, "So how do you play?"
——————— Dividing Line ———————
School has ended, and Jake is in the chairman's room.
"So be honest, what do you think of Ousei Academy?" Tsukasa Houjou asked Jake.
"This school is fun and enjoyable," Jake responded before asking back, "I think I will decide to go to school here, however I may be absent quite frequently, if that is okay with you?"
"I believe that is okay, however after 3 months of staying here, I would like for you to tell me why if you are comfortable," Tsukasa Houjou replied.
After talking for a while, Jake decided that he had to go, so he could exercise the cursed spirit that has cursed Yukine Hyoudou.
"I think it is time for me to go now, so please excuse me," Jake said to Tsukasa Houjou.
"That is fine, make sure to stay safe Jake," Tsukasa responded.
After Jake left the chairman's room and closed the door, he found Kaori Houjou waiting for him.
"Jake, I'm sorry but I have to ask, are you going to join this school," She asked.
"Yes, I have decided to join this school," Jake replied.
"I'm so glad," Kaori replied before asking after a pause, "Um if you are not too busy, would you care to join me?"
"I'm sorry maybe another day, as I have somewhere I need to be urgently," Jake replied before saying goodbye and swiftly leaving the school and running at full speed, towards where he can sense Yukine Hyoudou is.
