When the curse disappeared, Sachiko sighed in relief.
"I..I don't know why but I suddenly felt terrified just now.." Her mother mumbled and went into the kitchen to drink a glass of water.
'It must've been the effect of the curse.' Sachiko thought. The curse was only here after her mother arrived so there was a chance that the curse was following her. 'Well, I'm glad it all turned out fine in the end.'
Since that day, Sachiko would try and practice manipulating the curse energy. She wanted to try her Possibility technique but didn't find a suitable target to use on. So, her days were pretty much the same. Get up, eat, train and act as a child in front of others.
Just like that, five more years had passed.
Sachiko was now six years old and knew some tricks to use cursed energy after trying and practicing herself. She kept all these a secret from her mother as her mother can't see curses. She would sneak away from her mother and go to cemetery to practice cursed energy almost everyday and occasionally found curses here and there. Needless to say, she always took care of them. The town she was in was a small town with small population of people so the curses weren't as common as big cities. There were rarely powerful curses, too. The most powerful curse she had fought during these five years is a Grade 2 at most. So, there was a limit on how she can learn and practice by staying in this town. She figured. Sachiko hoped she grew up quickly so that she could actually go to a Jujutsu School or meet some Jujutsu socerers who come to this town for exocrism which she doubt that wouldn't happen soon because she was dealing with the curses.
Sachiko thought as she walked to cemetery as usual. She was planning to walk a little farther today and to her delight, she saw a curse sitting on a grave.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" Sachiko smiled as she said. Seeing her, the curse unleashed an attack made of cursed energy. Sachiko dodged. Although she was only six, her body was strengthened with infinite amount of cursed energy which made her even stronger than an average Jujutsu sorcerer. Which made sense since she could exorcise a Grade 2 now. Although Sachiko trained for five years after the first curse incident, she was still lacking to become exorcise a Grade 1. However, she could put on a fight with them if she went all out, she estimated.
Sachiko dodged and kicked the curse. Although the strength put in the legs was barely there, the kick itself was reinforced with cursed energy which made the curse suffer a huge damage.
"You're not that mighty, after all. Which grade even are you?" Sachiko asked in a lazy tone.
The curse tried to attack again and again.
"I can finish it off in a second but why skip a free training?" Sachiko said as she prepared to fight. Although she had a technique to manipulate the cursed energy to a whole new level, she feared it wouldn't be enough for special grade curses. If she wanted to be strong enough, she would need to learn combat as well.
Sachiko adjusted the curse energy output as she didn't want to kill the curse so soon and end the training. After a few minutes, the curse couldn't take it anymore as he used his last curse energy to attack Sachiko.
The blow was blocked by Sachiko's curse energy.
"Alright. Let's finish this." Sachiko said as she sent out a blast of cursed energy.
The curse got exploded right there.
------------------
Thirteen years later (I'm gonna skip it bcoz I'm bored)
Sachiko was now nineteen years old and she grew up to be a beautiful young lady. She had long wavy silver hair and hazel eyes. Although she practiced martial arts and combat, her figure was rather slim and lean and her height was about 168 cm.
Apart from appearances, she was even stronger than a Grade 1 sorcerer now and could take out a specal grade curse if she went all out. She was so close to special grade, already and she could feel it. However , It's not official as she never had a chance to attend a Jujutsu High School. She tried but because of her rotten luck, she missed every chance.
She graduated high school from a normal school in town. She didn't even consider to go to university. She still wanted to go to Jujutsu school. But, her luck was so bad that she missed every f**king chance.
"I'm frustrated...."
"BOOM!" She was brought back to reality by an explosion.
It was late at night and she was near a high school. There shouldn't be an explosion at a school, at this hour.
A curse?
Sachiko ran towards the sound.
