Chapter 4

"*Yawn* Huh where am I?" I said while looking around after just waking up, still half asleep. "Oh yeah! I'm actually in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, it's like a dream come true and yet I have no time to truly take it all in."

I got out of bed and checked the time "6:30, so two hours until class starts." I started getting dressed and thinking over the results of my training yesterday and my insights into my increased stats.

Yesterday I focused mainly on my cursed energy instead of my Innate cursed technique because as it is right now, it's unusable in a fight. I did improve a decent amount, but I still don't know how high my control would rank.

I also tested out stuff I could see the difference in, being my stamina, strength and speed. My stamina seemed endless with being able to do basic exercises with no decline in speed after a prolonged time. My strength, which wasn't low before, now seems to be up to three times my previous strength, the same could be said about my speed. While this is just a rough estimation, I'm pretty confident it's close to that.

The ones that were harder to see a difference in were intelligence and vitality, but I have noticed a difference that is the result of intelligence. For intelligence, something I've noticed is that everything that's happened since I arranged bed here I have an almost perfect memory of, but not before that. Vitality is pretty self-explanatory and is the same in most games, so I assume it just increases my health and healing speed, but I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later.

I decided to leave early today to see if I could find a 4th or 3rd-grade cursed spirit, as real combat training will be a lot more useful than just improving my control. I left at 7 a.m. in my school clothes, which now that I think about it might not have been the best idea but I've already left now.

Straight away I thought to go to either a cemetery or an abandoned building, either one is likely to have a cursed spirit. I use my phone to search for abandoned buildings or graveyards near me. The closest thing to me, which was a graveyard, was only a 10-minute walk away, so I started heading in that direction.

As I was getting closer and closer I noticed the difference in density of the cursed energy, not by much but it was still noticeable. Just as I was about to enter I could feel it, a dense blob of cursed energy, just emanating malice and negativity.

I entered the graveyard, now more alert than ever and my cursed energy at the ready. I could hear something that sounded similar to clattering teeth, just done by about 20 people at the same time. The closer I got to the blob of cursed energy the louder it got, and then I saw it. A worm-like creature that was the length of two people and the width close to an adult's wingspan. The size of it wasn't the worst part though, the human mouths that decorated the flesh of it, shivering in what appeared to be terror were a lot more unsettling.

As I got in sight of it, it turned to me, but that wasn't the only thing that happened, the mouths that were once chattering in fear all stopped at the same moment and then started shouting, directed to me.

"PLEASE KILL ME!" "END MY SUFFERING!" "I JUST WANT TO DIE!" "PLEASE! PLEASE! please?"

All at once, they all started begging to die, for me to end their suffering. Previously I had been a little scared, even if I was going to fight, I was going to prioritise my safety. But right now, I don't care what happens I'm killing this cursed spirit!

I grit my teach together as hard as I could and ran towards the cursed spirit, my fist cocked back and my cursed energy overflowing in my hand and feet. 10 meters, 6 meters, 2 meters, when I got to 2 meters away the cursed spirit finally moved after turning to me. It turned as fast as it could and tried to run away, sensing it's impending doom. Too bad for it because it was already too late, just as it turned around and started moving I thrust my fist towards it.

My fist that was inveloped in almost half my cursed energy connected with the rear of the cursed spirit, the result was complete and utter annihilation. A massive hole from front to back appeared in the cursed spirit, making it look like a disgusting hotdog bun. The cursed spirit had no chance of surviving that attack so it just turned into dust and blew away with the wind, similarly to when thanos snapped his fingers.

"*Breath in* *breath out* I need to not lose my cool, that was just plain reckless," I said, reprimanding myself for my rash decision. I laid on the ground to catch my breath, as using that much cursed energy in one attack left me a little fatigued.

I sat up and looked around, as I never really got a chance before. Everything looked normal, like a completely normal graveyard with no supernatural activity. Then I looked over to where I was standing, and noticed a couple cracks in the ground with indents in the shape of a shoe leading up to where I killed the cursed spirit. "I might have overdone it a bit. Anyway, was this even necessary? I one shot it so that doesn't really count as combat training. Whatever I'm just gonna go to school now."

I got up of the ground, dusted of my clothes and started walking to school, now completely fine. It took around 30 minutes to get there so I arrived at school at 8.15 going straight to the homeroom, I decided to just rest at my desk, as I can't be bothered with school seeing as I'm going to leave soon anyway.
