With the 4 of us, the first grade had no chance. With Gojo and Getou working on offence using their cursed techniques and Shoko and I working with support.

Shoko was constantly keeping a reverse cursed technique on all of us so even if we were hit she managed to heal us and keep us going. The cuts and bruises we suffered from the attacks were instantly healed. Because of this, we could take hits and not worry about long-lasting injuries

A reverse cursed technique was extremely hard to pull off. Shoko is the only person I know who can do it. Sorcerers use negative energy in all their techniques. Curses can heal the damage they endure through regular cursed energy.

If cursed energy is negative then the formula for creating positive cursed energy is simple. The theory was easy enough to understand but that was deceptive.

Cursed energy(-) x Cursed energy(-) = Positive energy.

However, the theory of the process was just to pull off. Since all we use is Negative cursed energy trying to change that into positive cursed energy was tough.

My role in support was to make enemies heavier and slower while making my allies lighter and faster. They were almost floating giving them a huge speed advantage.

It was a simple combination of our abilities which made it so dangerous. It was easily rotatable too. While Shoko was always in support, Getou and I could always swap out and he could give support with his numerous curses. Gojo used his limitless cursed technique to get close to the curse and attack while Getou used his curses to attack from a distance.

The curse, who was on the backfoot, took his hand and slapped them together.

Instantly all the light surrounding US disappeared.

Darkness spread around the entire hotel and completely blocked out the sun. It was pitch blackness. I couldn't even see my hands or body.

The curse had stolen light. The curse wasn't lying when it was rambling about what he was saying. It could really steal anything.

I moved my body to a 39-degree angle as this is where I last saw the curse. I shot off a wave of concentrated gravity.

I missed, once my gravity hits something I know it has. That way I can increase or decrease the gravity accordingly.

If this curse was smart the first person he'd go after was, Shoko. However, I couldn't let that happen.

"Everybody duck!" I shouted.

It was a gamble really. I didn't know whether they could hear me but it was a chance I was I was willing to take.

I swung my sword over my head. It was a 360-degree Omni-directional attack. If I can't see him then I'll just attack everything around me

I hit something. I was sure of it. I increased the gravity all around it to insane degrees. I wasn't giving it a chance to even move.

The light came back straight away. It actually hurt my eyes a bit as the darkness was all I could see for a few seconds.

Once all the light appeared the curse was on the floor writhing in pain.

It had lost 6 of its 9 arms and a leg.

"Did I do that? I didn't even know I could do that." Gravity couldn't cut. What made it even more curious was the fact that the limbs were all missing.

Getou took the initiative and summoned a curse that swallowed the injured first-grade curse.

We were all tired. We used quite a lot of cursed energy to even get that thing to finally fall.

The curse womb didn't hatch just yet.

"We should leave this kind of curse to the 2nd and 3rd years. Perhaps we should call Utahime and Mei senpai to help us." Shoko suggested.

"We wouldn't want to make our senpai work harder than they need to? We should stay here and wait for it to hatch." Gojo said.

"I agree with Gojo, our mission was to take out all the curses and this shouldn't be an exception." Getou said.

"I don't think I'll be able to stop Gojo and Getou from staying so we should just stay." I sighed.

I didn't really care about whether we stayed or not.

"Ahhhh, If I die I'll haunt you from the grave." Shoko cried.

"Yeah as If a midget like you would be able to hurt me," I said as I put her in a headlock.

"You stupid Idiot Kojima. I'll be a 7-foot tall beauty before you know it!"

------------------

"When is this thing going to hatch?" Gojo said.

We had been up for 14 hours just waiting.

"It's better if we just wait than leave and return," Getou explained.

"I wonder what It'll look like?" Shoko wondered.

"Probably slimy," I said as I touched the womb. The exterior of the womb was incredibly slimy.

5 more hours passed with no signs of the womb hatching at all. It didn't move a single bit.

We were all sitting around not doing anything particularly interesting.

"Hey Shoko, how do you do the reverse cursed technique?" He wondered how someone as clumsy as Shoko figured out how to do it when no one else knew how to do it.

"It's easy, Kojima-kuuun. You go Hya then you do a big hyuuuuu which creates the intended effect." She explained like a university lecturer.

"You're useless."

"Don't be like that Kojima. Perhaps you don't have the genius that's needed to pull it off." She teased.

"Yeah sure, I bet I could-

Before I could even finish my sentence a feeling of dread overcame my very being. I felt as if my death was being replayed in my head over a thousand times.

I could see that everyone around me was paralysed in fear.

I used the part of my body that would listen to me to turn around and look at the source of all this.

There it was, standing in all its glory.

The special grade curse.
