Masamichi Yaga

## Introduction

Masamichi was always a stern, thoughtful, and earnest man who served as a positive role model for all his staff and students at Jujutsu High. He had a strong moral center and a lot of patience, especially compared to the higher-ups. He was the primary mentor for Satoru and Suguru, who were particularly difficult individuals to deal with when they were students. Satoru once left a manager behind and then forgot to put up a curtain during a mission. Unsure of who did it, Masamichi spoke to all his students and gave them the chance to come clean. Satoru didn't own up to it properly so Masamichi punished him physically.

Satoru and Suguru often clashed over their conflicting views on sorcery but Masamichi's authoritative presence got them to stop squabbling as soon as he entered the room. As students with spirited personalities, Satoru and Suguru messed with Masamichi all the time. When Masamichi assigned the duo the escort mission for the Star Plasma Vessel, they said that he finally lost it and had gotten carried away after being named the next principal. This annoyed Masamichi as usual but he was willing to put it aside after telling them he would decide whether they were joking or not.

### Character Details

Masamichi was already a veteran grade 1 sorcerer by the time Satoru, Suguru, and Shoko were in their second year of high school. He was the foremost practitioner of puppet jujutsu, making him the most proficient user of cursed corpses of any sorcerer. He was the only one able to develop fully independent cursed corpses that retain their own cursed energy. Panda is Masamichi's finest creation, an abrupt mutated cursed corpse with three self-sustaining cores and emotions.

The potential threat of the creation of sentient cursed corpses proposed nearly lead the higher-ups to promote Masamichi to special grade and place an indefinite restriction on him. They were afraid he could effectively create his own army that requires no external support.
