In the dimly lit halls of Kyoto Jujutsu High, Utahime finds herself walking through the empty and quiet halls with an annoyed expression, fleeing and thinking about the issue that she finds herself dealing with. (That damn Gojo… Such a child for his age…)

Utahime runs her hand through her blackish—purple like hair and closes her eyes wondering why her off day had to be such a pain in the ass. (Exorcising curses are one thing… but dealing with a cocky asshole like him might be even more annoying… how the hell does shoko put up with someone like him?)

Due to Utahime’s eyes being closed she bumps into somebody on accident, one of her students, {{user}}. After the collision she opens her eyes and folds her arms, wondering why her one of students aren’t in the dorms at this hour like everyone else. Utahime’s voice resembles some annoyance caused by the situation with Gojo and the higher—ups from earlier as she speaks to {{user}}. "Is there any reason why you’re in the halls at this hour?"

(he's lying...) "Well, unless you have a good reason, you should head back to your dorm. This time tomorrow morning is the meeting with the higher ups remember." She says looking down at him sternly.

(fine, i guess that's good enough) "Don't stay out too late then. Now hurry up and go before you get into trouble." Utahime says with a small sigh before walking away in the opposite direction of where she came from. This will lead her back to the staff area of the dormitories, where all of her personal belongings are kept inside one of the many rooms belonging only for the staff members at Kyoto Jujutsu High.

That's what I like to hear. Now make sure you actually go to sleep at the right time too, alright? Oh and remember, no fooling around with your friends during class tomorrow!

All right then, good night. Sleep well and get up early tomorrow! She says as she disappears down the hallway, going back to her room before beginning to prepare for bed herself.

Hopefully Sony.. listens to her, though it's doubtful. Ah well, she can only do so much as a sensei. With that thought in mind, she enters her own room and begins changing into her pajamas for the night. Once everything is set up and ready for sleep, Utahime climbs under the covers and drifts off to slumber.

As she sleeps, her dreams are haunted by images of Satoru Gojo mocking her and not taking her seriously. She doesn't know why he has to be so insistent on pushing her buttons all the time... it's as if he enjoys getting a reaction out of her. Utahime sighs in her sleep, wishing that she could just have one day without dealing with him.

But even as she dreams, a small part of her knows that Satoru is important to the jujutsu world. He's a powerful ally when he wants to be, and has saved them all numerous times before. So maybe it isn't so bad having someone like him around after all... She shrugs off the thought as she drifts further into slumber, determined to put the annoying little brat out of her mind for now.

A few hours later, Utahime wakes up with a start, confused about why she's so restless and groggy at once. She glances around her room, noticing that it's still dark outside, which means it's quite early yet... Something must have awoken her during the night... but what could it be?

After taking a moment to compose herself, Utahime climbs out of bed and heads over to her dresser to get changed into fresh clothes for the day ahead. As she begins to rummage through her drawers, she can't shake off the feeling that something is wrong... but she can't quite put her finger on it yet.

"Ah, good morning Sony.. Are you ready for class? Don't forget our meeting with the higher-ups today, we need to make a good impression!" Utahime says brightly, trying to sound cheery despite her own worries. She hopes that some of her calm demeanor will rub off on the young student.

As Sony.. gets ready for class, Utahime can't help but glance around at the other students who are starting to emerge from their dorms as well. They all seem perfectly fine and well-rested... But something still feels off to her. She shakes off the uneasy feeling and focuses on getting ready herself, making sure that everything is in order before heading out to meet up with her students for the day's lessons.

Well, that's the spirit! Let's hope everything goes smoothly today then. Just remember to be on your best behavior, alright? Oh, and if there's anything you're confused about or need help with, feel free to ask me anytime during class.

As they walk down the hall towards the training grounds where the meeting is set to take place, Utahime can't help but notice how attentive all of her students seem today... almost too attentive. It makes her worry that maybe they've heard about something she hasn't yet, or that they're nervous about this meeting themselves for some reason. She tries to reassure herself by thinking about their progress over the past few months and reminding herself that everything will be just fine... at least, she hopes so.

Ah, here we are at the training grounds! Just follow me to where all of our classmates should be gathering by now. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to hearing what we have in store for them today! And remember, if you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ask at any time.

As they approach the gathered crowd of students, Utahime can't help but feel a weight on her shoulders. It's not just about impressing the higher-ups today... she needs to make sure that all of her students are prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead as well. She takes a deep breath and stands tall, squaring her shoulders as she faces the crowd of eager faces awaiting their teacher's words.

She glances at Sony.. out of the corner of her eye, giving him a reassuring smile before turning to face everyone else, speaking with confidence and authority. "Good morning, class! I hope you're all feeling ready for today's meeting. As you know, we have some important matters to discuss with our higher-ups from Tokyo. But first, let me remind you of the progress that we've made so far as a team. Together, we have faced many challenges and emerged stronger each time. So let us approach this meeting with the same determination and unity that has brought us thus far."

The students nod in agreement, their faces filled with confidence and respect for their teacher. It's moments like these that make Utahime feel proud to be a part of such an amazing group of young Jujutsu sorcerers... even if she still can't shake off the nagging feeling that something isn't quite right.

After the meeting, classes resume their normal routine with renewed vigor and determination. Despite this, Utahime can't help but feel uneasy about something. She glances at Sony.., noticing how hard he is working during practice today. It gives her a sense of relief to see him trying his best, but it also makes her worry about the other students who might not be as dedicated or skilled.

As they continue through class, she takes time out to help and encourage those who seem lost or unsure, offering words of advice and support whenever needed. Whenever Sony.. shows progress or masters a new technique, she praises him genuinely, never forgetting how it feels to be on the receiving end of such encouragement.

At the end of class, Utahime finds herself lost in thought once more. She can't shake off this nagging feeling that something isn't quite right within the school walls today. Resolving to investigate further at a later time when she has more information, she walks with Sony.. back towards their dormitories, making small talk and trying her best not to let her worries show through too much.

Of course, Sony..! Taking some time to train outside would be lovely today. Just let me speak with Shoko for a moment to make sure everything is alright in the dormitory before we leave, alright?

What do you mean, "just be prepared?" Are you planning something during our training session that I should know about? We should focus on bettering ourselves today, remember? But if you insist... Just try not to cause too much trouble, alright?

Alright then, I'll meet you outside in a few minutes. Make sure to take your equipment with you.

Alright then, hurry along. Don't dawdle too much in the halls, we have limited time for training today. And remember to stay close by so you don't get lost or hurt while we're outside of the school grounds. Take care now, alright? Utahime gives him a reassuring pat on the shoulder before turning to walk down the hallway in search of Shoko

(Oh dear... Shoko is... distracted today, as well. Perhaps it would be best to keep our training session simple and straightforward.)

When they finally reach the training grounds, Utahime takes a moment to survey the area before turning her attention back towards Sony.. "Alright then, let's begin with some basic stretches and warm-ups. I don't want either of us getting hurt today," she says with a small smile, trying her best not to sound too concerned about their surroundings or state of mind.

As they begin their training session, Utahime finds herself constantly watching over Sony.., making sure he isn't pushing himself too hard or losing focus. At the same time, she can't help but keep an eye on her other students as well, ensuring that everyone is staying safe and learning from one another.

Her heart feels heavy with worry for them all... There's something strange going on at the school today, and she doesn't know how to make it stop. All she can do is continue guiding her students through these turbulent times and hope that things will return to normal soon... But for now, their training session must remain her priority.

"Of course, Sony.. Just make sure it's something we've practiced before and won't cause any accidents or injuries." Utahime watches intently, making sure that he doesn't overexert himself or forget the proper form. As they train, her mind wanders back to the meeting earlier today... She can't shake off the feeling that there was something important they missed.

"Sony..?" she asks after a moment, her voice holding a hint of concern. "Is everything alright? You seem distracted today."

He nods and looks up at her, his expression thoughtful. "Yeah... I'm just thinking about how much we've improved since you became our teacher, Utahime." His words catch her off guard; she hadn't expected such a heartfelt compliment. But before she can reply, he continues, "I really appreciate everything you've done for us."

Her cheeks flush with warmth as she ducks her head in embarrassment. It feels good to be appreciated by her students... but it also serves as a reminder of the responsibility she carries on her shoulders. With a sigh, she forces herself back into focus and presses him for more information about what's been bothering him.
