Chapter 2: Unlocking Cursed Energy

Chapter 2: Unlocking Cursed Energy

~Albus POV~

How.

And.

Why.

What in the hell happened to me in the last few hours of my normal life went to!

First I get isekaied in RWBY and next I nearly die to a Grimm I have never seen before not mentioned from the show and manage to kill it in one shot death in the middle of nowhere.

Argh…

Ok cool your jets Albus but for now, I need to adjust my thoughts currently, and thank the lord I survived by pure luck.

I should just be glad that someone did come to help even if they were a God.

Wait I also have to deal with this world's problems now don't I.

Now I just have to handle these world issues about racism in this world.

Faunus is one of the two intelligent races that inhabit Remnant, the other race being Humans. While Faunus resemble Humans, they are often easily distinguishable from the latter in that they possess the traits of animals.

Faunus is similar to Humans, except for the fact that they share certain traits with animals. Some types of Faunus are more common than others, with some being extremely rare. Faunus with mammalian traits, in general, seem to be quite common.

The only good things about being a Faunus is the extra boost to hearing/smelling senses, seeing in the night, and animal trait powers.

Some Faunus have a Special Ability that gives them a special power or ability, similar to, or in addition to a Semblance.

And the terrorist organization White Fang is to consider as well as other organizations to now consider being in this world.

Well, double fuck me.

Sigh…

Well, whatever the case was, I think…

Yeah, I think before blacking out before blacking out I manage to see some kind of blue and black energy.

When the doctors finally left, I began to lift my arm to see if I can bring up again.

…

Nothing.

A whole lot of nothing is happening here but how…

Right, it was when I was feeling the most fearful and angry, that I felt using it.

Recalling it I think the power I used before I was killed was Cursed Energy from the jujutsu kaisen series.

Didn't think I've obtained them here in RWBY though but I guess I did meet the criteria to use it.

Cursed Energy is a power source aligned with negative emotions used by sorcerers and curses to fuel their jujutsu.

Cursed energy is born from negative emotions such as grief and anger.

These negative feelings are common in human society so almost everyone possesses cursed energy. If this amount is higher than a certain degree, it grants the person the ability to see curses, which is very rare among the human race.

Curses are apparitions manifested entirely from cursed energy. Even their bodies are composed of cursed energy, making cursed spirits invisible to non-sorcerers. Jujutsu-related items such as cursed tools, cursed objects, and cursed corpses all contain cursed energy.

The emission of cursed energy from humans collects like sediment until a cursed spirit is born from the collective negative energy. Curses born with strong feelings directed toward a certain aspect are especially strong.

The stronger humanity's fear and anger are directed at cursing a certain aspect of the world, like natural disasters, the more powerful curses spawned from those negative sentiments will be.

Guess me feeling the fear and anger at the… Grimm made me unlock it through that intense situation.

Cursed Energy unlocks when in life or threatening situations.

This concept also applies to why normal humans can suddenly see curses in a life or death situation in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

Human senses are heightened when their life is in danger because of the instinctive fight or flight reflex and with me wanting to fight well…

Doesn't take a genius to figure that out I unlocked it at the moment when I was about to die.

Humans with an above-average level of cursed energy can see curses and jujutsu.

The minimum requirement for a human to be considered a sorcerer is the ability to see curses. In extreme cases, humans will gain the ability to see curses when their life is in danger the case with me but channeling Curse Energy was more of a fluke.

Honestly, I was just caught up in the moment.

A jujutsu user's ability to control their cursed energy and use it to carry out certain functions is the base foundation for all jujutsu.

Control over cursed energy requires innate skill and vigorous training.

Cursed Energy is like to electricity: it's volatile in nature and difficult to use in its rawest form.

While raw cursed energy can be used for its blunt force, it's best used by sorcerers to power their techniques in the same way electricity is best used to fuel electronics.

In this case, cursed energy is flowed into a technique to activate a sorcerer's unique abilities.

However, cursed energy does not flow on its own but by means to actively and subconsciously use it to flow the body.

Proper control over one's emotions is key to channeling cursed energy and every jujutsu sorcerer is trained to do so.

This makes it so sorcerers don't waste their power supply even while they're overcome with emotion.

Most sorcerers have to make cursed energy flow, so almost instinctively believe it starts from the negative feelings in their stomach and flows through the rest of the body.

However, thinking of one's body as different sections is what delays the flow of their energy. In order to understand this cycle, one must realize that they exist in the world with their entire mind, body, and soul as one.

Applying cursed energy to physical attacks can be as effective as a cursed technique Defensively, users can coat their skin in cursed energy to harden their body and increase their ability to block incoming curse-related attacks.

The same application can be used offensively, imbuing physical attacks with cursed energy to increase their destructive power to superhuman levels.

Those will surely be handy but important of all is the fact I can now create Cursed Tools.

Conventional weapons can also be infused with cursed energy to increase their strength. Imbuing too much-cursed energy at one time to a normal weapon can compromise its integrity and destroy it, so a sorcerer must only infuse small amounts of energy at a time.

Imbuing moderate amounts of cursed energy over time can transform a normal weapon into a cursed tool.

Cursed tools are weapons infused with cursed energy maybe I can recreate graded cursed tools that are imbued with a cursed technique or special ability.

How about I try it out bringing out my Cursed Energy and finally getting a grasp on it.

Let see…

Anger.

Fear.

Those are the two key emotions needed for Cursed Energy to be activated.

Concentrating on my fist again I try to collect the needed Cursed Energy by first visualizing that I have it through my stomach first.

That's the first step the second would be to visualize how I achieve it like how Aoi did with the main character.

*Brrr…*

Like that, I managed to summon up the blue and black energy like from the show as I recall it.

You know I would think it would take more time to truly summon Cursed Energy at will like this but then I remembered a certain thing happening before my untimely death.

Black Flash.

Surprising me a bit I actually guess what is going on here and to call my Cursed Energy easily like this.

Turning off my Cursed Energy I try it again the blue color then appeared but by pure instinct.

Interesting.

Isn't the Black Flash supposed to be a very rare chance of this occurring?

But since I only just awaken my Cursed Energy it was expected to be weak.

Still…

Black Flash is a distortion in space that occurs when cursed energy is applied within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit.

When a sorcerer is able to achieve 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.

Unleashing Black Flash requires incredible concentration, and no jujutsu sorcerer is capable of using doing so at will, not even the cheat himself Satoru Gojo. It does not occur randomly and requires immense skill and combat potential to pull off.

Jujutsu users who manage to unleash Black Flash immediately gain an immeasurably higher understanding of the essence of cursed energy when compared to someone who has never used it.

Anyone who succeeds in landing Black Flash will temporarily enter a state of increased cursed energy awareness, where the mental process of manipulating cursed energy becomes as simple as breathing for them.

This leads to a greatly increased performance in combat, allowing the user to operate at 120% of their maximum potential.

Now that I have time to think…

Seeing the bloody red and dark sparks of Cursed Energy at the time when I was about to die was called upon as I landed the finishing blow to the Grimm in question.

Guess in my fleeting moments I managed to retain the know-how to call upon my Cursed Energy guess the Black Flash was more of a fluke.

Lucky fluke but still a fluke.

*Knock*

*Knock*

"I'm coming in."

Hearing some knocking sounds coming from outside the hospital room soon came a big hefty man wearing some important clothing as he spoke, "I see you managed to survive young man. Good to see you in perfect health. I was hoping you could explain how you came to the forest in Mistral?"

Who I was now meeting was probably the chief of the settlement as I try to come up with a good lie or at least a half-truth of what happened to me.

Not like they'll believe I'm an outsider from another world.

Hardly anyone ever trusts that kind of info but knowing the world does have its advantages.

Like how to make a good fabricated fake story.
