BNHA: When Life Gives You Two Eyes

CHAPTER 2

-

Alright, one more time.

Channeling the Cursed Energy in his body, he let it flow out and formed an invisible wall around him.

Taking a deep breath, he starts to enter "numbers" into the Cursed Energy, setting it to continuously divide any flying object coming towards him that touches said wall of Cursed Energy by half infinitely.

It was like coding, but with more instincts and gut feelings instead of a computer, and there weren't any screens to confirm whether it worked or not, so it's a learning process for him.

Once he was satisfied, he tossed an apple above him and waited.

The apple fell and stopped an inch from his head.

Perfect.

Letting the technique fade away, he then gets the aftershock of using Cursed Energy, groaning at the sudden fluctuations of his negative emotions.

Cursed Energy, one of the two mutations in his body to use Limitless.

The main source of power for all Jujutsu Sorcerers, negative emotions such as grief, anger, sorrow are the foundation of Cursed Energy.

All humans have Cursed Energy, at least that’s what he saw while walking around Japan, but no one had the ability to use Cursed Energy from his observations.

The reason was simple, no one had more or equal Cursed Energy compared to him. One had to reach a threshold of Cursed Energy to be able to wield it.

He had a theory as of why only he has it, but it was still not confirmed yet.

Anyways.

The drawback of using Cursed Energy was the sudden hit of emotions that he sued to fuel it in the first place.

If he used anger to kick-start his Cursed Energy, then a few seconds after stopping by flow, he’ll get hit with twice as many emotions.

A kinda niche drawback, emotions can go a long way in a fight, a double-edged sword.

But using Cursed Energy is really cool.

He could circulate it in his body and enhance his strength, speed, and endurance. The boost was about 2 times his base.

Not only that, the second ability of Limitless was available to him with him being able to use Cursed Energy Manipulation.

Strengthened Limitless: Blue, the ability to attract.

Blue was achieved by amplifying the Limitless and bringing the conceptual impossibility of negative distance into reality, as reality will then force space in reality to compensate and fill in the area by drawing everything toward the impossibility. 

It was like the Stand, The Hand's ability from JoJo, how Okuyasu was able to scrape the space between him and his enemy, and thus his enemy will be displaced towards him. 

Just amp it up by 100 times and there you have it, Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue.

Well, easier said than done. 

First, he needed to emit enough Cursed Energy to set the negative numbers. Let's say he sets it at -99, his current max while he's in the city of Hosu.

Then, he would need to maintain -99 for the entirety of the technique, needing his full concentration or else his control over Blue would slip and potentially accidentally increasing the amount to let's say -999.

That was enough to devour half of Hosu. Scary. 

He could also target specific objects to only move by setting target points on said object, but that would take three times the concentration. 

So, his current abilities with this Quirk of his in this year and a few months were; 

Six Eyes

Natural Body Strengthening

Neutral Limitless: Infinity

Strengthened Limitless: Blue

He was quite happy with this progress, now he just needed to get Reversal Cursed Technique and then his move set will be complete. 

... The problem was that he had no idea how one gets Reversed Cursed Technique. 

JJK Gojo said that to obtain the technique, one must multiply Cursed Energy with itself to create positive energy, easier said than done. 

He had tried everything in his disposal for over a year now, and nothing. He doesn't even know how to "multiply" energies together. He tried banging two strands of Cursed Energy into each other, he tried melding them slowly, he even tried to change their rotation of flow before combining them.

Nada. Nothing. 

He almost pulled his hair out trying to find the solution.

Well, he doubts that he couldn't solo this verse with it, he was the Honored One after all.

Eh, he'll shelve the technique for now and focused on training his existing abilities to the max first before tackling this technique.

"Come on, Old Man, give me a damn break!"

Satoru groaned as he ducked a smack from wooden cane. 

"Hell no, you better bring me my taiyaki or else I'm reducing your allowance!"

An old man with yellow attire yelled with a glare as Satoru clicked his tongue. Reluctantly, he grabbed a pack of taiyaki and took one out before shoving it into the microwave. 

"They were mine, dammit..."

He sulked before he dodged another swing of the old man's wooden cane, his Six Eyes seeing the attack in slo-mo the moment the swing was in action.

"You brat, if I weren't hungry right now, I'd beat your butt ten times over!"

Ladies and gentlemen, meet his caretaker/guardian/food-stealer Torino Sorahika, a.k.a. Gran Torino, a retired hero that adopted him because of the monthly income that the government gives for adoptive parents. 

A bastard, but he could respect the hustle. Free money every month sounded amazing if you only needed to look after a kid and report back every few months, who wouldn't?

"Ugh, whatever. So, what's the occasion? Your next visit should have been in two months later."

The old man sips on the steaming tea from his cup before answering.

"I have a ticket to the Tokyo New Year Yacht Festival. My damn student thought I was not going out enough and sent me a damn ticket. Tsk, who does Toshinori think I am, huh? I go out to exercise every day!"

The old man had a scary aura around him while Satoru was processing said information. 

Huh, a yacht. That's pretty luxurious. 

"Hold up, didn't you say "a" ticket? How the hell would I go?"

The old man snorted before the microwave made a beep, signaling that it was done heating the taiyaki up. 

With a heavy heart, Satoru took a plate before plating the snack and giving it to the old man, who had a cheerful face at the sight of the fish-pastry.

With the old man munching on it, he gets his answers. 

"Observant one, kid! Well, I get to bring a companion, that's what the invitation said. Though, I hope they allow a kid to follow along, I need someone to bring weak old me around."

Torino said before suddenly reverting to an old man his age, shaking as if a small breeze would kill him. 

"Basically, you want me to be your nurse? Fuck off, I have shit to do."

Satoru just stared at him deadpanned before flipping him off, causing the old man's image to shift into a raging demon with a wooden cane. 

"You damn brat — "

He paused for a second before a villain grin appeared on his face that sent a shiver down Satoru's spine.

"Well... If you don't go, then say goodbye to that dojo that you were talking about!"

"Ugh...!"

He found a Wing Chun dojo near his apartment, it was just 10 minutes away from his house. And since learning martial arts would be good when he gets hit by something like Erasure and needed to fight in an enclosed area. 

The problem was that the fee would kill his allowance, so he asked the old man for some extra money for joining the dojo. 

And he was now blackmailing him. 

Fucking bastard. 

Eh, it may be fun. And he could keep the food as leftovers too for the next few days. Saves on money...

"Heh, that face tells me everything! I'll write your name down then!"

The old man had the smirk of a demon before shoving the taiyaki into his mouth. Satoru's eye twitched before sighing. 

Old men were scary in this world, dammit.
