I know that running straight towards a obvious death trap will seem idiotic and downright demented.
Well... I never said that I was smart nor sane. What I am is a quick thinker and lucky as fuck.
The main entrance is on top of a shit ton of stairs, they are perfect for spartan training. When I reached the top I had to use curse energy to protect my body from the poison in the air. "Fuck, I haven't even got in and I'm already fucking it up"
There is a sinister aura coming from the entrance. I take one last look at the sky, cloudy with a chance for rain. I touch the hilt my katakana for reassurance, Kanao-san made it specially for me she called it a good luck charm. Shinobu-sempai, please be alive, it doesn't matter if you are missing a few limbs. As long as I can heal you, the nuclear option will be evaded.
The hall that the entrance leads to, is covered metal, a new and unusual feature. I tried punching a wall, but I didn't even made a dent. No to mention, the force of the punch was reverted to my body. I can still feel the numbness on my left hand (I am not stupid enough to punch a wall with my dominant arm for no reason). There was also no sound coming from anywhere, the sound of my footsteps can be hear in the long hall. Another thing that I notice, is that the hall is empty, no windows or doors. No only that, I been running for quite a while and "I swear to Buddha, this hall wasn't this long" I take my shoe off and stared running once again.
As I was running, I could see my motherfucking shoe at front. FUCK!!!
I am inside a territory, and all I have is a curse dagger that only works up to second grade curses.
...
I am currently in a starfish position pondering what to do. My shirt is rolled up and I can feel the cold of the floor with my belly. Aside from my curse dagger, I have a katakana that will not work on curses. I also have a twin set of throwing knives, five in each of my long sleeves. Oh! I also have around eighty needles of different sizes used for acupuncture, but I have modify to hold poison and others fun chemicals. Unfortunately, I don't carry nitroglycerin or nitric acid to make shit go kaboom.
As I recall, my technique consists on converting my negative energy to positive and healing. It sounds simple, but the problem is that physics is a bitch. Said bich states, that you need to use energy to be able to do work. That work is the converting, which means that I need almost the double of curse energy that I am converting to be able to convert.
And that is only for converting, for healing I need to use half of what I am using for healing someone to heal myself. Healing others is mentally and physically taxing, but healing oneself gives a feeling of freshness and relief, like when you finally take a shower after a workout. I almost died learning my energy ratios. I almost fried Toji-san when I overwhelmed him with positive energy... THAT'S IT!!!
I sprig back to life and take a familiar stance. I focus my curse energy on the blade and unleash a basic slash. Even though my katakana is long and thin, more like a wip. With my strength, I can even cut through pillars and metal without curse energy. But with this metal, I didn't even made a scratch. Alright... looks like I have to break my lovely sword. Ahhh! Kanao-san slave for six months to make it, she is going to kill me once she finds out.
I start to convert the energy and forcibly infuse the energy inside the sword. Work creates energy and energy creates heat. In the demon slayer manga there was a technique were the swordsmen obtain red blades by tightening their hold on the hilt, thus, creating heat. Of course, that is just fiction, but if I go around the impossible by compensating with the heat of positive energy?
I think I bullshit!
