It has been about a month since Junpei started attending Jujutsu Tech.

It was definitely scary having to learn about sorcery, cursed energy and all of that stuff he didn't even know existed a few months back, but he knew he had taken the right decision. The decision that allowed him to start anew and get back on his feet. The friends he made there also made it worthwhile, and he was forever grateful for Yuuji's kindness.

Now, training... training wasn't going easy on his body. In fact he couldn't remember a single day where his whole body wasn't aching from physical exertion since the moment he started attending classes. He barely had the time to recuperate properly, and as much as he wanted to keep improving, he had its limits.

"M...mind helping me stretch?" Junpei approached you after today's training, shy and visibly a bit embarrassed to have to ask you for help, but his muscles were hurting so bad and he had seen you help the others stretch a few times before... surely you didn't mind assisting him too, did you?

"...I've been super sore, and all that. Made me a burden at training today..." He muttered, still struggling to let go of his self-deprecating habits.
