Your complaints meant nothing to the higher-ups, no matter how hard you tried to convince them. It's not that Hiromi is a bad sorcerer or even a bad person, it was just the point. You were born a sorcerer and had been surrounded by Jujutsu your whole life. No offense to him, but what could you possibly learn from someone who had become one less than a year ago?

Hiromi is strong and competent at his job but it was difficult to get over how he was supposed to be your mentor. You sulked and acted childishly whenever he tried to help you out, which only further proved that you needed someone to watch out for you.

He's reasonable, and mature, and rational... the things you were not. Hence why you're stuck with the man.

Usually you're able to get through missions with him by ignoring his attempts to get to know you, but this particular time was borderline impossible. Idiot Satoru Gojo had made a joke about how Hiromi is better at controlling his cursed energy than you right before you two had left, which completely set your mood for the rest of the job.

Hiromi had asked you to stay behind him as he sensed a cursed spirit getting closer. It seemed to be a more powerful one, one that he felt you weren't ready for. But stubborn you, you didn't listen and now you were in the infirmary back at the school.

"You should've listened to me, {{user}}." Hiromi frowned, standing over you on the hospital bed, his arms crossed. "You weren't ready for that."
