"Ijichi, calm down. I've had a conversation with Satoru about this, and I approved of it."
Kiyotaka was standing in front of the principal Masamichi, terrified of the words that came out of his mouth. It was stupid enough to send a student alone on a mission, but also against a possible special grade cursed spirit? Outrageous! Especially for a professional like Oiketsu, that was stupid loss of assets.
Masamichi sighed, "Oiketsu's candidacy for Semi-Grade One sorcerer has been postponed for a very long time for a few reasons. We want to see if he is simply doing this to get promoted, or if he has some other motives on the side."
"To explain in simpler terms, Oiketsu seems to be the most normal of the sorcerers that we have ever seen. Cautious, polite and strong, but he has been hiding his Blood Manipulation technique since the day of its appearance… he managed to trick his entire clan into thinking he only had reverse cursed technique. Now, do you understand Ijichi? I made a vow not to tell this to anyone, but he agreed for us to tell some faculty members if it was necessary."
Ijichi's eyes widened in surprise. He was not aware of Kamo having Blood Manipulation technique, he knew of him having Reverse Cursed Technique but that is… nonetheless, how did he manage to trick the entirety of one of three big clans? If he told his clan, he would've been propelled into ranks as well as possibly becoming future clan head… not possibly, but definitely. He had RCT, unlike Noritoshi Kamo.
Yaga proceeded, "Even though Blood Manipulation technique can't compete with the Six Eyes or Ten Shadows, it's still a very strong technique that is a pillar for the Kamo clan. Paired with healing factor, Oiketsu is very much on the path to become the Special Grade sorcerer himself. Though, that's just a matter of time."
"But at the moment he is still a Grade Two sorcerer…" Ijichi could only mutter, he was still concerned about the student.
The principal shook his head, "He is well above that level, Satoru personally confirmed that during their training. He has only gotten stronger since his arrival.

Drip Drip
Flashlight was the only thing that could light up my path. Inside the sewage system of Tokyo, I could only navigate at the edges. It was extremely complex to move around these places, but I could assume I was somewhere around the apartment complexes near the school which the girl attended. Due to the noises in the closed areas being trapped, I could also hear even small noises being made.
Can't say that cursed energy in these places was abundant, but it could definitely be a place where cursed spirits can be born. After all, darkness is still associated with fear. As I traverse through this place, I can also notice multiple smaller, but safe cursed spirits which I didn't really care about.
Throughout the labyrinth of sewers I alone hear the echoes.
The way I have to move is making less noises, so I can actually hear what awaits me in the front. It was chilling inside the sewage, but most importantly it smelled really bad. It would definitely cover up the smell of rotting flesh if the human was to die here.
There definitely was a presence of stronger cursed spirits in the underground. They were far away, but my tingling senses were telling me to be prepared for everything. So far, I feel like I'm getting closer to something. Can't exactly tell if it's human or curse… maybe both?
I speed up my pace and hold my flashlight straight. Then I start hearing some noises that are coming from a much broader space. Obviously, there is a drainage system built into the sewage, but that's where I hear multiple voices. To be exact only two… "Bingo" I mutter aloud and turn-off my flashlight so as not to get noticed by getting closer.
The distance shortened so much that I could make out the words they spoke. I've hit the jackpot, one voice was of a girl and another one of a boy. It was hard to tell which one was who from the distance, but something else that I hadn't expected happened. The conversation ceased.
I held my breath.
The water in the sewer was faintly dripping.
Then one of them spoke,
"It seems that we've been discovered. Why don't you go ahead and try out what I've taught you… alongside your boy friend."
Shit…I've been found out rather quickly. Definitely a special grade cursed spirit, since he seems rather casual about it. He must be not afraid to confront me, but is now trying to leave the scene, probably doesn't want me to see him. Such a shame, it's dark out here in the sewers.
"Now then, I'll be leaving you, but not before…" Then I can't make all of the things out, but it seems like the cursed spirit brought out something and….
It expands.
That something expands so much, it reaches at least five meters in height. That something was a cursed spirit, though, I've never seen a curse so large before. I switched my sight back to the two, but after touching the girl on the chest the cursed spirit muttered something which I could barely hear. Th
e girl began to deform.
Like a bubble she also began to expand, with her skin slowly shading into different colors.
Meanwhile terrifying screams filled the sewage.
"What the fuck…"
Chills ran down my spine. My thoughts couldn't comprehend what exactly happened, but the girl… who was definitely a human, somehow, got turned into a cursed spirit. "What the actual fuck was that?" I can't help, but mutter that aloud.
I look down on my phone, "No signal as well…I'm screwed." Without any other useless thoughts, my cursed energy output began to muster up. Blood Manipulation technique which I haven't ever used against a cursed spirit before got activated.
She was unable to comprehend the world around her. Everything happened so quickly. Memories flashed in front of her. A few days ago she was in her house drawing. The person she was drawing did something to her at the moment. Though, she didn't know what, but it was different from a promise they had.
This was not supposed to happen.
'What happened to me?' She could only scream…that was it. She couldn't make out the words from her mouth. Her vision changed, she was above the ground, but in her eyes she could also see what happened to her body.
It was terrible.
The… boy friend, she forgot who exactly, but it was supposed to return her friend. Everything was chaotic. She couldn't remember what they talked about, where they were at the moment, or had she already died?
'Humans…' She looked at the slowly approaching figure. Something inside her clicked, he was never supposed to be here. She was asked to remove him from here and in return she would get something.
…
Oiketsu activated his Blood Manipulation technique, and the blood appeared almost out of nowhere, covering the upper half of his face entirely with the exception of his eyes. Blood pumped through his body much faster than before, supplying his muscles with oxygen. His vision changed due to the fact how worked up his body became. Meanwhile the two…turned cursed spirits that were recently turned, became aware of his existence. They were different from normal curses, having more human expression on their mutilated faces and… crying? The sorcerer could swear that the curses had tears flowing down from their eyes. 'Everything is getting… weirder.'
With a sudden surge of power due to his technique, Oiketsu made a rather bold decision to approach the cursed spirits directly. They were also quick to attack him. His speed was already great enough before, but now it was far too much to handle. The cursed spirit was unable to get a hold of him, and lost him from sight.
As its hand slammed onto the wet concrete, a mountain of water was raised and Oiketsu slipped away.
Swoosh
Suddenly, the hand which slammed onto the ground got itself cut off and the purple liquid came gushing out of the body. "Howl" It shrieked in pain. Its eyes darted around until they saw their target which was a human. Before it moved though, another cursed spirit shoved it away, while itself it ran towards Oiketsu.
"You guys are pretty… scared. You seem desperate."
The cursed spirit's eyes sparked with fear when they heard the human speak to them. One halted its movement and looked at Oiketsu. Its gaze looked very human even to a sorcerer who exorcized countless other cursed spirits.
"Mind telling me, what did that man do to you?" Though, they were curses, they heard Oiketsu's question well and clear,
They had answers for it as well.
"We…"
As he was about to hear the answer, Oiketsu was sent flying as the second cursed spirit attacked him while lengthening its limbs. His body smashed against one of the concrete pillars which held up the roof of the sewer. He fell onto the wet concrete in a rather painful manner, his clothes dragged but without apparent injuries.
'They are not strong, matter of fact, for that size they are rather weak. I'd say around grade two, since they aren't able to communicate flue-'
"Release…"
Oiketsu widened his eyes.
"Ple-... -ase…release us."
They said it in unisom, the tears rolling down their faces when blobbing their way towards Oiketsu. So far in his entire life, he never in his life begged to kill somebody else. The sorcerer was frightened.
He made a step forward, dusting off the dirt on his uniform. "Tell me, what is that curses' name?" In an instant leaving the train of water droplets, Oiketsu ran up to the curses preparing an attack.
His question was not answered yet,
The blood manipulation technique was meanwhile charged up. Oiketsu clasped the two hands together, waited for the blood to condense and in a matter of seconds as the curse was to launch him again. The sharp spear of blood was launched, piercing through the cursed spirit's body.
Crack
Shriek
With the amount of cursed energy the sorcerer put into the attack, the curse had no way to survive it. Its durability was so low, not just through the body, but the concrete floor under it was also pierced by the attack.
"SCREEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!"
The cursed spirit was exorcized. Now, only one of them remained and its eyes were fully concentrated on the sorcerer. Oiketsu proceeded to charge up another attack with his blood manipulation.
"I don't have ways to turn you back into a human, nor does anybody else, but I can promise you that the curse who did this to you will be exorcized. Just tell me his name." He said it to the curse, which didn't come charging up against him.
Instead it remained dormant
For bits of seconds.
Then it moved its mouth,
"Ma-it…Mahit-...-ahito."
Oiketsu closed his eyes before his technique was launched. "Then, so be it." His blood manipulation technique shot out and entered the curse's skull.
The corpse dropped to the ground.
Painlessly.
