Chapter 65: Reverse Cursed Technique.
Arriving at the classroom door, he found it empty except for Gojo-sensei standing at the podium. He asked, "Where are Maki and the others?"
"Them? They have their own things to do."
Gojo Satoru waved Tatsuro in and said, "Everyone needs to be taught different things, so I didn't call them. As a teacher, I'm very responsible, you know."
"Is that so."
Tatsuro muttered under his breath and sat down, looking at Gojo Satoru on the podium and asking curiously, "I wonder what Gojo-sensei plans to teach me?"
"Hmph."
Gojo Satoru chuckled, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote a few large words on the blackboard: [Reverse Cursed Technique]. He said, "I happened to see your spar with Maki this morning. Considering the special nature of your eyes, I thought I'd try teaching you Reverse Cursed Technique."
"Reverse Cursed Technique?"
Tatsuro was somewhat puzzled at this moment. He seemed to have heard the term before but just couldn't recall it. It had been a long time since he last read this manga; being able to remember parts of the plot and characters with charming personalities was already a huge feat.
For example, Gojo Satoru – Tatsuro remembered he was very strong, the ceiling of combat power, and also very flamboyant... Fushiguro Megumi, a close-combat summoner. Okkotsu Yuta, the 'True protagonist', and so on...
"Correct. I'll first explain the principle, then we'll do a practical demonstration."
Gojo Satoru turned around and continued writing some hard-to-understand things on the blackboard with the chalk in his right hand.
Things like negative times negative equals positive, the precision of cursed energy control, and so on...
After finishing writing, Gojo Satoru picked up a bamboo pointer from the desk, tapped on [Negative x Negative = Positive], and said, "The so-called Reverse Cursed Technique is the multiplication of the negative aspect of cursed energy, which is what we call negative times negative equals positive."
"You can also understand it this way: cursed energy originates from one's own negative emotions. We jujutsu sorcerers don't produce curses; instead, we convert these negative emotions into power. Therefore, the energy of cursed energy is negative."
"Most of a sorcerer's techniques are innate techniques they are born with, meaning the technique is imprinted within their brain. For example, when you need to form hand seals to activate a technique, this type belongs to the most basic direct cursed techniques."
"Ah! I've digressed a bit. Forget it, you have to learn it anyway. As I said before, cursed energy is a negative power. It can strengthen the body but cannot regenerate it. Therefore, you must multiply powers that are both negative – negative times negative equals positive. This is Reverse Cursed Technique. That's roughly the principle. Let me do a practical demonstration."
As Gojo Satoru spoke, he pulled out a revolver from his pocket. Then, under Tatsuro's bewildered gaze, he decisively pointed it at himself and fired!
Bang!
The gunshot startled Tatsuro, making him instinctively close his eyes.
"Oops, I forgot to turn off my Limitless Cursed Technique. Looks like I'm still a bit afraid of getting my brains blown out by a gun."
Gojo Satoru's calm voice made Tatsuro open his eyes. Seeing the bullet embedded on the surface of Gojo's forehead, he was instantly speechless, cursing inwardly, "Is it fun to scare a student's fragile heart?"
As if sensing Tatsuro's complaint, Gojo Satoru put down the revolver and pulled out a fruit knife from his pocket, smiling. "This time, for real. That was just a joke."
With that, he unsheathed the fruit knife and stabbed it into his own arm. It pierced right through, as if the arm wasn't his own. Red blood flowed from the wound.
When Gojo Satoru pulled the fruit knife out, the wound healed rapidly. In the end, apart from the bloodstains on his arm, not even a scar remained.
Tatsuro's eyes widened. If he learned this, wouldn't he be able to treat those women's scars and then achieve his pre-transmigration dream of earning money while lying down!
"Hiss..."
Tatsuro shot up from his desk, exclaiming, "This is awesome! I want to learn it, I want to learn it!"
As if knowing Tatsuro would react this way, Gojo Satoru gave a cold laugh, stuck the fruit knife he was holding into the desk, picked up the bamboo pointer, and tapped on [Precision of Cursed Energy Control], saying:
"The prerequisite for learning it is to have extremely high precision in controlling your own cursed energy. This is what I'm going to teach you today!"
With that, Gojo Satoru lightly snapped his fingers. A faint wave of cursed energy swept outwards. As if deliberately controlled, the previously closed windows began to open slowly, and the open door began to close slowly, without a sound.
Although it looked simple, Tatsuro had already activated his two-tomoe Sharingan the moment the cursed energy swept over, observing closely. Gojo-sensei's control over the cursed energy was incredibly precise. The moment the door just closed, the cursed energy responsible for pushing it dissipated perfectly. Any less, and it wouldn't have moved; any more, and the wooden door would have made a colliding sound.
Gojo Satoru continued, "If you can practice to this level within one morning, we'll proceed to the next step."
"Uhh... I don't think I need to, Gojo-sensei. Such meticulous cursed energy control is already a piece of cake for me now."
Having said that, Tatsuro confidently demonstrated his new move, 'Spiraling Four-Scatter Glass Marble.' He opened his right hand, and a crimson cursed energy sphere appeared. In less than a second, the cursed energy sphere transformed into a red glass marble.
Gojo Satoru was stunned, looking at the high-speed rotating cursed energy blades within the glass marble, as if recalling something. The small hill at the street corner yesterday seemed to have been devastated by something like this.
He had to admit, it was quite impressive. He had even made a special stop to look at it back then. Estimating with cursed energy, the depth of penetration was at least three or four meters.
Gojo Satoru said with considerable interest, "Let me see it. It's best if you make it explode directly; I want to see its power."
"Uhh... Gojo-sensei, are you saying you want this thing to explode in your hand?" Tatsuro wiped the sweat that had suddenly appeared on his forehead and asked with some uncertainty.
After all, what normal person would do that?
"Correct."
Receiving Gojo Satoru's confirmation, Tatsuro slowly handed the sphere over. Although bullets couldn't harm him just now, this thing of his...
Point-blank output was definitely more ferocious than a revolver bullet! Not to mention it was thousands of cursed energy blades, though they would dissipate on their own after flying a certain distance.
He leaped out through the open window, ran several tens of meters away, and shouted to Gojo Satoru inside the classroom, "Gojo-sensei, I'm going to detonate it! Be careful!"
"No problem, no problem. I... am the strongest, after all."
Gojo Satoru carefully examined the glass marble in his hand. The rotational orbits of the cursed energy blades inside were already fixed. Creating this thing required extremely high precision in cursed energy control.
Quite interesting. It looks like he'll learn Reverse Cursed Technique quickly. I just don't know if his mind is sharp enough.
Following a finger snap, Gojo Satoru instantly activated his [Limitless Technique]. The glass marble in his hand was repelled as if by some force, squeezed out, and then a "crack" sound was heard in front of him.
The shell enveloping those cursed energy blades shattered, and then they instantly shot out explosively.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
"Thud thud thud..."
The entire classroom was now riddled with holes. As a gust of wind blew through, the room... collapsed!!
