Learning from Shoko

" Oh, this is beautiful. " Shoko said, staring at Naoya who sighed exasperatedly, holding his nose in annoyance.

" Shoko, please. I know I was a prick, but please. Don't do this. " Naoya pleaded.

" Hehehe... Yeah no. I still remember that one time when you changed my shampoo with hair dye. I still looked fabulous with pink hair but I absolutely hated being called Bubblegum by Gojo every single time. he still calls me that from that to time! So no, not even if Sukuna was right in front of us. " Shoko said, a "sweet" smile on her face.

" Fine. I may deserve this... " Naoya said.

" May? " Shoko questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"Fine! " Naoya stressed with grit teeth, speaking in the same tone, " I deserve this, so please your highness, Queen Shoko, my quuueeennnn, can you please spare this peasant a lesson in the art of Reverse curse technique? "

" Oh, this is my new alarm. " Shoko said, getting a recording. " but fine then, be grateful that your highness is so generous. "

" Yes, I'm grateful. Sacrifices must be made." Naoya said, but then in a whisper, " Sacrifices. Must. Be. Made. "

" Alright then. I'm just going to use it on you. If you get it, you get it. if you don't, sucks to be you. " Shoko said.

" Your explanations never worked anyway. " Naoya said.

Shoko rolled her eyes, placing her hand on Naoya's shoulder, and used Reverse cursed technique. The positive energy rolled into Naoya's body and he focused his senses on how the energy felt, tracing it back to Shoko. Shoko soon stopped and removed her hand from his shoulder.

" Alright, I've done my part. Now you can do whatever you want. " Shoko said. Naoya didn't respond, taking deep breaths as he grabbed a scalpel. Holding it in his hands, Naoya stabbed the scalpel through his palm, the blade coming out the other end.

Shoko raised an eyebrow while Noaya focused on his cursed energy. His frustration from failing this technique for months with little to zero progress to the point he had to come to Shoko, SHOKO, for help is humiliating. Focusing on the core of cursed energy he found when using the black flash all those weeks ago, he applied his cursed energy with more cursed energy, adding it again and again till he reached the right amount.

A white glow covered his hand, and the wound caused by stabbing himself closed up. It wasn't as fast as Shoko's, but that didn't stop him from grinning like a madman, letting out happy chuckles from his success.

" Woah. Congrats didn't think you could do it. " Shoko congratulated, getting Naoya's attention.

The reverse curse technique is a hard application of Jujutsu to master. Very few sorcerers are able to use it. In the modern era, she knew only three people who can use it, Herself, but it's more of a gift as she was born with the skill to use the reverse curse technique easily, while regular curse energy applications are difficult for her. Gojo Satoru figured it out in his fight against the sorcerer killer and Yuki Sukumo, another special grade. Noaya is now the fourth.

Shoko's eyes widened, and her brain froze for a bit. She looked to the left see Noaya hugging her in excitement while thanking her. A few seconds later, Noaya opened his eyes, realized his mistake, and slowly backed away, staring at Shoko who stared back with a 'wtf' look.

" Can I pay you that this never happened? " Naoya asked.

" Pay for a couple of custom lab coats I order and I won't say a word. " Shoko said, steeling herself.

" Deal. " Noaya said, shaking her hand before exiting the room, berating himself in his head for what he just did. ' As long as no one knows. '

' He's certainly changed from the asshole he once was. That hug wasn't that bad. ' Shoko thought.

Walking through the halls of Jujutsu Tech, Naoya stared at his hand, a white glow surrounding it. That one moment we shall not speak about aside, gaining the reverse cursed technique is a huge buff. Just learning this technique increased his cursed energy reserves by several amounts.

The best part is that it will increase with time the more he uses the technique, yet the most valuable thing he gains, and something he's been theorizing about that he can now confirm, is his curse technique reversal.

Reversed Cursed technique and Curse Technique Reversal are not the same, the former allows for healing purposes through the use of positive energy, but the latter occurs when you apply reverse curse technique on your curse technique or better put, your hax.

Gojo is the best example considering he's Naoya's inspiration. By applying the reverse curse technique on his curse technique, the Limitless, he's able to use Curse Technique Reversal Red, which has the direct opposite effect of Curse Technique Lapse Blue.

Naoya believes that this is his path forward, pondering for a long time about what his Curse technique Reversal does and now that he has the missing piece of the puzzle, he can now focus his attention on mastering his new abilities.

From the training grounds, Satoru looked at one of the few people who keeps trying to reach his level of strength, a smile grew on his face. Through the size eyes, he could see it clearly, Naoya's cursed energy reserves had increased 10 fold.

' Took you long enough Naoya. You sure do know how to keep people waiting. ' Satoru thought, thinking back to his high school days. Satoru and Geto were the strongest, with Naoya being right behind them. Till one grew to become the strongest and change the jujutsu system, one became a cursed user to make a better world and one who never stopped trying to reach their level of strength.

All three of them have now made progress with their respective goals.

" Time sure flies by. " Satoru muttered. " So don't keep me waiting old friend, it is quite lonely at the top. "
