Masamichi Yaga, who looks like a yakuza uncle but has an exceptionally gentle heart, is also one of Zenin Kiyoshi's favorite characters in the original story.
It can be said that without Masamichi Yaga's existence, both Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto would most likely have ended up the same way.
As the father of Panda, the teacher of the subsequent small ones like Gojo and Geto, and as the principal of Jujutsu High, he is a benchmark that shapes everyone's worldview.
Without his existence, the number of people who turned to the dark side in Jujutsu High would have been more than double.
Zenin Kiyoshi was really curious. A profession like a sorcerer, where one is not old but has to face the danger of death and malicious curses at all times, how could they not match each of them with three to five psychotherapists.
Even one for each person would be able to save these already distorted guys in time.
As he thought about those random things in his mind, his mouth answered very quickly.
"Thank you, Teacher Yaga. I'm not afraid. I'm just worried that because of me, it will be difficult for you and Miss Yuki Tsukumo."
Zenin Kiyoshi's words came, like a thunderbolt hitting Masamichi Yaga's heart, shocking him.
These normal, rational, warm, and exceptionally sensible words, could they really come from his student's mouth?
In his years of teaching, he had never heard such words of gratitude that a normal teacher would hear from a student.
But he actually didn't blame those students. After all, everyone had witnessed how much pressure the profession of a sorcerer had.
A companion who was laughing and talking with you the day before might become a pile of rotten meat in the next blink of an eye.
Therefore, in the previous years, the general outline of education at Jujutsu High even had a clause that "students and teachers should not have too much affection for each other."
And the purpose of this clause was to prevent teachers from being too sad because of the death of their students.
This is the world of sorcerers, cruel to the point of being bloody on the surface of the text.
Even Masamichi Yaga himself didn't know why he would tell these things to Zenin Kiyoshi, a student who had just enrolled.
Perhaps it was because Kiyoshi's previous speech on the topic of "sorcerers and death" had left too stunning an impression on him...
Perhaps in his subconscious, he also hoped that Kiyoshi could give him an answer on this question that was as stunning as the last time?
Thinking of this, a self-deprecating emotion involuntarily arose in Masamichi Yaga's heart. He had lived for so many years, but in the end, he would actually ask a child of only about ten years old about such a life question. It was really ironic to say.
However, since he had already asked, Masamichi Yaga actually still had some expectations in his heart. He hoped that this time Kiyoshi could also give him an equally stunning answer.
But this time, Zenin Kiyoshi was silent. Seeing this, while Yaga was slightly disappointed in his heart, he still said with a smile:
"Don't mind such things too much. It's just the teacher's own complaint."
Hearing this, Zenin Kiyoshi suddenly raised his head. His eyes, under the light of the corridor, actually seemed a little dazzling at this moment:
"Teacher Yaga, if you choose to miss out because you are worried about separation, then that is the most cowardly performance of a person.
The death of a sorcerer is uncontrollable. And in this short life, to make life boring because of fear of parting, then such a person is no different from being dead when they are alive.
It's like raising a cat or a dog. We clearly know that the lives of those small animals are so short, and we clearly know that from the day we come into contact with them, they will definitely leave at some stage in the future, but I still won't choose to give up raising those animals.
Even if it takes a long time or a lifetime to miss or commemorate those memories, will you regret raising them?
Many people like to say [Don't form bonds, it only increases loneliness], but in fact, I think that for the fleeting encounters and partings, every moment, I will want to cherish it."
With that, Zenin Kiyoshi looked at Yaga with a calm gaze. He didn't say anything, but it was as if he had said everything.
Yaga's grip on Zenin Kiyoshi's hand tightened unconsciously. He took a deep breath, and then said with a slightly trembling voice:
"A good answer, but it's not enough to shock the teacher's mind. It's just some pretty words. Alright, let's not talk about these things. Let's go quickly, so as not to make those big shots wait too long."
At the end, Masamichi Yaga's words even had a faint tremor.
These words were actually deliberately said by Zenin Kiyoshi for Masamichi Yaga to hear, because in the entire jujutsu world, perhaps no one would have a deeper feeling for those things than him.
Whether it was the death of his sister's child, or the gradual parting after creating his own puppets, what was hidden under Masamichi Yaga's yakuza boss appearance was actually a gentle heart full of scars.
After obtaining his [Cursed Corpse Creation] innate technique, Zenin Kiyoshi knew that a thing like a cursed corpse, no matter how carefully it was nurtured, would eventually die one day because the materials that constituted it gradually aged.
Just like the gradual death of human cells, this process is irreversible.
Even if Masamichi Yaga was the creator of those cursed corpses.
He could only watch his "children" disappear in his hands one by one.
The meaning of the word "parting," for Masamichi Yaga, perhaps he has a more heavy memory than most people here.
In fact, sometimes, when he was making cursed corpses, he would unconsciously have an indescribable fear in his heart, as if he was making an instrument of torture that would make him suffer greatly in a few years.
His hands would tremble, and he would involuntarily want to give up. He could not accept the day of parting.
But he would still make them. He didn't even know the reason himself.
For every puppet, he would pour all his love into it, and would give his own soul to that strange body.
When the puppets' arms were broken, he would go to learn sewing. In a class full of women, he alone looked particularly awkward.
When the puppets liked to watch boring children's television series, he would specially buy a large-screen color TV and let the puppets watch it 24 hours a day.
He was the father of those puppets.
And also a father who was destined to constantly send away his "children."
Zenin Kiyoshi felt the tremor in Masamichi Yaga's palm, and the system's prompt sound once again appeared in his mind.
"Masamichi Yaga's affection +12!"
