Chapter 12: Reality is often disappointing
(Todo's POV)
1st January, 2014
It's been about 2 years since I 'unlocked' RCT.
And since today was new year, I would've gone to kill more cursed spirits, but I think I have some remaining trauma of that incident....so that's why I am currently drinking Juice with Yuki in a nice traditional stall.
I've learned new things about RCT and the like in these 2 years.
Mainly, it looks like I subconsciously made a binding vow, that I will be able to heal from almost any injury, quickly, with the downside being the larger usage of Positive Energy and not being able to heal others.
It kinda limits me from saving people, unless I do a white flash, which will heal every sorcerer in it's path, along with exorcising any Cursed spirit...
Besides that, I've also learned that I can't 'store' Positive Energy if I have Cursed Energy in my body. Which basically means that, if I generate some Positive energy, I will have to use it in that moment itself, otherwise it will automatically be used to either heal or rejuvenate my body.
Along with this, I got to know another flaw in my Positive energy reinforcement. That form doesn't enhance my physical capabilities, unlike it's CE counterpart, so a smart enough Cursed spirit would just use mid to long distance attacks to off me. I mean, it would have to deplete my crazy reserve of PE due to the automatic healing working in my favor, but it'll just make me a sitting duck.
And the worst part about that would be, that I'd be unable to switch to CE reinforcement when I'm in PE reinforcement, unless I trigger a White Flash.
Besides that, that type of reinforcement is absolutely useless against normal sorcerers. I bet it could've been used to heal them, but due to that binding vow, I think it had actually became unable to do that as well. The most I could possibly do against them would be tanking their attacks, especially the CE reinforced attacks, which I think I become resistant to in that form.
Along with that, I can't use CE reinforcement and PE reinforcement at the same time, since they basically can't coexist together.
And if I forgot to mention, to even start PE reinforcement, I'll have to convert all the CE in the body to PE and then use it, otherwise it doesn't work.
....These limitations are so bad that I wanna punch the one who made them, but oh well....
I also made a Reverse version of my Cursed Technique by using Positive energy instead of Cursed energy.
At least, I can use this anytime, since it lean on instantaneous usage of the PE....
The reverse version of my Boogie Woogie allows me to form unbreakable 'links' between living beings. Unfortunately I can't use this one with objects since I found out that I simply couldn't imbue Positive Energy inside them....
Which means, I can only use this on Sorcerers, people, Cursed spirits, or Cursed tools. Not too bad, considering the actual effect of the technique.
Basically, after a 'link' is formed, it can neither be stretched, nor broken, by any means. Which forces the linked individuals to move along the same path. And, if I form multiple 'links' between various individuals, at a certain point, they would simply become unable to move.
The only possible downside is, that it uses huge amount of Positive energy, and the PE usage increases drastically with respect to the number of active unbreakable 'Links' at that time.
It's quite honestly Overpowered, if used correctly. But it'd become useless in 1v1 fights, unless I have some Cursed tools to rely on....Maybe I should steal some of them from the zenin clan....
I'll probably do that when I go to Jujutsu High. But for now, I'll have to make due with what I have.
The best thing about this is that I've become accustomed to making positive energy in my body. Now, if I had 100% of Cursed Energy, I'd be able to make nearly 48.5% of Positive Energy. I'll need more practice to completely get rid of the wastage, but it is what it is.
.....In summary, my abilities are :-
1. Cursed Energy Reinforcement
2. Positive Energy Reinforcement
3. Boogie Woogie - Singular/Multiple Links (At the same time)
4. Reversed Boogie Woogie - Singular/Multiple Unbreakable Links (At the same time)
5. Crazy Physical Strength (Even without reinforcement)
6. Overwhelming Pain Tolerance
7. Ability to imbue objects with Cursed Energy
8. About 700m (Radius) of sensing range (For all objects with or without CE. Further sensing depends on the Cursed Energy of the Person/Cursed Spirit.
9. Good Fighting skills.
10. Knowledge about plot, and various aspects of Cursed Energy.
I had quite a few instances with White Flash again in these 2 years, and I think I'd be able to do it manually in a few more months....
Currently, the chance of White Flash with my whole concentration on generating it, when in PE Reinforcement form, was about 1 in 100. I think it mostly depended on various complex calculations when using it in battles, and since a singular shift in battle causes the calculations to fail, it needs a perfect instance. That's why, it's still hard for me to manually do it.
The probability is just something that I noticed when trying to do it, so it's not really something to rely on.
I had a few instances with Black Flash as well, it worked quite different than White Flash and required completely different set of calculations, so I had to work separately on it. I was currently not manually able to do it, but I know that it's just a matter of time....
Basically, Black Flash is a distortion in space that occurs when cursed energy is applied within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit, and when a sorcerer achieves this, their cursed energy flashes black, and the destructive power of their strike is equal to a normal hit to the power of 2.5....it also allows the user to go in the 'zone', which allows them to use 120% of their potential.
Anyway, my first Black Flash was against a Semi Grade 1 spirit. The moment I did that, the clarity I felt was only comparable to the time of White Flash. It literally made so many things clear to me, that I, almost instantly, was able to drastically reduce the Cursed Energy usage of my techniques, increase my effective sensing range, and even understand various concepts I was previously unable to.
It was quite regretful that there were only a dozen more Cursed Spirits around there....
And for the first time ever, I was able to imbue Cursed Energy in the Air in front of me and 'switch' it with the Cursed Spirits one by one.
With each punch I did in front of me, I substituted a Cursed Spirit, directly in front of the physical blow, allowing me to trigger additional Black Flashes (Due to the Zone I was then in) and destroy them.
That simple Combo with punches and kicks destroyed the Dozen cursed spirits around there. It looked so beautiful....At the end of that scene, I couldn't help but shed a few tears~
And if anyone wondered about the 'trigger', it'd be my heartbeat~ It just made the scene more beautiful and exotic~
Meh, in the end I was able to achieve all this before starting Jujutsu High, and I think I could enjoy a bit of rest.....
Looking at my mentor, and the only 'sister' figure I could think of, in front of me, I couldn't help but feel all Fuzzy inside. It was just so wholesome, that I wanted to melt....
But if I did melt, I wouldn't be able to drink this Orange Juice in my hands, so I ignored that dumb part of my brain and simply sipped the delicacy.
The sun had already set, and I knew that there was very little time before I started my journey in Jujutsu High.....I would miss her, but oh well....It's not like I couldn't visit her with a few claps here and there....
The next things in my Agenda would be to be manually be able to trigger Black Flash and White Flash, as well as learning the simple Domain.....along with making my very own Domain Expansion...
Though, I don't think it'd be easy, but oh well....
This world was never easy after all~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wonder how he was able to manually 'trigger' the Black and White Flash, it's be due to various calculations he does in his brain. Todo was said to have a supercomputer as a brain after all~
Anyway, the MC is currently getting stronger and stronger....but he'd still die pretty easily due to various things I can easily think of.....
Anyway, sorry for the wait.
Comment and do the usual things you people do, you lot already know how much I like your comments, so yeah....
Anyway, I was wondering if I should do a patreon, especially when someone asked me if I was gonna do it....so, if someone is actually willing to use it, just comment, and I'll probably make it up. (At least 2 or more people)
Welp, this was the chapter guys, see ya~
