Chapter 52 - Chapter 50: Reversal

"As the winner of the Loser's Bracket Futago Kamo has the opportunity to rejoin the main tournament. By challenging and defeating any of the Quarter finalists." The announcer followed his previous words with a rant. 

"Will he challenge Satoru Gojo, a match of revenge to prove himself the superior genius"

"Will he challenge the Feminist, and warrior of women rights Naoya Zenin." 

"Will he be heartless enough to fight his own twin Tomogui Kamo"

"Or will he challenge Haruto Zenin, the underdog of this tournament. Someone who was completely unknown before managing to slip into the Quarter finals."

"Futago Kamo, do you need a break or are you fine to fight the quarter finalist of your choice right now!" … Now that I think about it, this guy's voice is way too loud, is it a cursed technique?

"I would like to take a break before having my fight, I also have my choice for the quarter finalist I want to fight." I yelled out, hopefully he could hear me from here. 

"What a shame, I believe that continuing to fight while your blood is boiling would be the proper course of action, but I am not the one fighting. Anyway, which of the quarter finalists do you choose?"

"Haruto Zenin" My answer was pretty obvious, out of everyone else there he was the weakest. Without a doubt he was lucky to face weaker opponents. 

'His cursed technique had something to do with poison, I saw him using it against the other contestants. It's a useful technique for what's to come next.'

"You have it here folks! Futago Kamo vs Haruto Zenin will be the next fight of the tournament. The tournament will have a small break. Futago vs Haruto will be tomorrow, and the final 2 rounds will be the following days. That's all for today folks see you all."

Following the announcer's final words, the elders of the Gojo clan began to retrieve Kinzoku's body which was bleeding albeit not too much. 

'Kinzoku was pretty heavily hurt. I saw Shoko in the stands while we were fighting. They are probably going to ask Shoko to heal Kinzoku. Now is my chance to see just how far I can push my Jujutsu, through my cursed technique.'

"Do you guys mind if I go with you, it's my fault Kinzoku was hurt so much, and I would love to offer an apology after he wakes up" I immediately addressed the Gojo elder's who were carrying Kinzoku to the infirmary. 

"Yeah sure kid" One of the Gojo elder's responded amiably. 

While Zenin and Gojo have a horrendous relationship because of the infamous incident of Mahoraga killing a previous 6eyes+Limitless user. The Kamo clan has always been on friendly terms with the Jujutsu world. Excluding Kamo Noritoshi of course. 

We quickly approached the infirmary and they set Kinzoku on one of the patient bed.

"…"

Time passed slowly and Shoko Ieriri still hadn't arrived yet. 

'Was I wrong. Now that I think about it Satoru wasn't exactly on friendly terms with the rest of the clan. I wonder if they could even force Shoko to heal Ki-'

Interrupting my thoughts I saw her, a rather attractive girl with a bobcut entering the room followed by the Gojo elder and two figures I would recognize no matter what.

Satoru Gojo

Suguru Geto

"Hello Shoko, I never got to say thank you for healing me earlier. I'm very appreciative of your efforts from then" I say while referring to when she healed me after the Kuroda fight. 

"... It's fine" She didn't seem to care much for that time. I know she healed me because it was a job, but complimenting someone and being humble never hurts. 

"Hey, why are you being so kind to her? When you were fighting me you seemed quite brash and arrogant Futa-kun" Gojo said.

"... Futa-kun?" I repeat somewhat shocked.

'What the hell is he even saying?'

"It's a nickname I made for you, short for Futago, you like it right?"

"..." Honestly just being here is starting to get annoying, when will she start healing Kinzoku. 

"Enough Satoru just let Shoko heal Kinzoku so we can get going" Suguru Geto finally made a statement, and honestly I'm thankful at least one of them is reasonable. 

"Ok here goes" Shoko exclaimed before starting to apply the reverse cursed technique on Kinzoku.

'That's it!'

Immediately I activated my technique to create a mirror of what she was doing. The process of changing cursed energy to reverse cursed energy was a phenomena generated by cursed energy, and thus something I wanted to see if I could copy using my cursed technique. 

Now I wasn't putting this into a memory slot, I was just using the one time copy effect my technique has.

What benefit does using the reverse cursed technique for one time actually do?

Well I thought about it, the reason why Yuji could learn reverse cursed technique so fast was because he swap training to engrave the RCT into his muscle memory. 

So rather than using swap training I was using my own cursed technique to copy the phenomena of multiplying cursed energy against itself. 

Perhaps it was because of all the black flashes I landed up to this point in my life, which granted me top tier cursed energy efficiency. Combined with the theoretical knowledge I know about RCT from having watched the show. 

But even just experiencing the process of turning cursed energy positive once. It was enough for me to comprehend it. 

I had achieved the reverse cursed technique. Not just this one time, even without my copy ability I could multiply my cursed energy by itself and generate positive energy. 

'I truly am blessed, I was unconscious the last time I met Shoko, and I didn't even understand my cursed technique to think I could do this. But now I'm sure of it, I don't copy techniques, or applications of techniques. I copy the phenomena generated by cursed energy. Haha-'

"What the hell was that?" Breaking me out of my stupor, Satoru Gojo's voice echoed.

When my mind came back to the real world I noticed all of them were staring at me oddly.

"What do you mean?" I asked, my voice leveled.

"I'm like 90% sure that I felt the reverse cursed technique from you?" Gojo followed up.

"Then that 10% must be the truth, because I never learned reverse cursed technique" There is no way I will manage to convince them I didn't use RCT but I still won't admit to learning it. Leave some doubt in their minds. 

"Saying 90% was just a pedantic thing, I am 100% sure I felt RCT from you." Gojo got closer this time.

"C'mon guys, RCT is extremely high level Jujutsu that even you special grades haven't learned, how could a grade 1 like me have it."

"... yeah I guess you're right. I must have been imagining things … is what I would say if I were an idiot. If you don't want to admit it, just walk away instead of making some ludicrous excuse" Gojo responded while walking away. 

'... If i tried to just walk away I doubt he would let me without hassling me some more' 

Even though Geto was more quiet I could see he was shocked too. 

'Well at least I made a good impression on the future monkey hating overlord. The greatest racist of Jujutsu Sorcerer history. A man whose prejudice towards others was second to none… except maybe Naoya Zenin'

After learning RCT their wasn't really a reason to wait around their, I didn't want to waste time saying some bullshit apology to Kinzoku, the whole reason I came was for Shoko and RCT. 

And I got both.

'Life really has been looking beautiful. Special grade potential, 2 cursed techniques, more evolution opportunities with the Holy Ichor. More importantly, I am a member of the Kamo clan, meaning I can just spend at least a decade training and getting op with no possible risks.'

'Hell ignoring everything else, my current level of strength is enough for me to deal with any Grade 1's, only the special grades could take me down. But special grades would never attack a Kamo Grade 1 sorcerer like me unless I do something to them.'

'Their isn't a single threat in the world I have to worry about, except maybe Kenjaku but he should be busy with raising Yuji at this time, I have nothing to worry about'

"So you want me to hunt these people?" A white-haired lady with a frost emanating from their body asked? She was talking about killing people like it was a past time. 

"No, I told you. I want you to find the one with a mark like this on their body. Then kill them and bring their body to me. Make sure the body is in a reparable state, otherwise I might not be able to take it over," a woman with black hair, a bob cut, and a scar across her forehead responded.

[Author Note: It has been 50 chapters and I finally gave him RCT.]
