Tea Time

***Date Finished:*** TBA

***Setting:*** Within the guardens of Tokyo Jujutsu High Haruka sits by her table with a cup of tea. Feel free to join in :3

Upon a peaceful morning, Haruka Hakari, Semi-Special Grade Sorcerer and the main School Nurse of Tokyo Jujutsu High sits within the Guardens in a clearing with a chair and table. She sets down her cup of tea as she flips the page of her book.

The Guarden of Tokyo Jujutsu High is located deep within the middle of the school, wooden fences acts as walls that aid in growing vineyards as rows of various flowers, bushes, and trees decorate the grassy floor. A few messy tiled paths between the trees and bushes, oftentimes lead to a few small overhang bridges over little man made streams of water within the Guarden. In the middle, is a clearing, surrounded by small bushes and a single large cherry blossom in constant bloom creates shade over the area. Here sits a well sized white table, with matching chairs, and Haruka, who reads her book with a cup of tea under the morning sun.

"May I take a seat madame?" Said a tall figure giggling, as they approached the table, it was Konchi, a 3rd year student, the two already knew each other pretty well long before this, the "madame" was kind of a joke they had going on.

"Yes you may" she giggles a bit as she sets down her book. It's a large, heavy book about medicine. "What do I owe this, oh so, pleasant visit" she says with a smile.

"Oh nothing really, I was quite bored so I went around the area and found you sitting here so alone." He answers smiling.

"Well it is a really comfy spot for studying after all, staying holed up in my room or office gets boring and depressing" she checks the tea pot tilting the lid open. "Tea?"

"Yes please, I haven't had tea for quite some time." Says Konchi. Waiting for his tea to be poured, he added, "It's true the weather is beautiful, I wonder what the first years are doing."

"Well, they're either training or learning. Recently, two first years went on a Curse extermination mission, thankfully they managed to dispatch it before things got too ugly. Turned out to be a Grade 1 too." she says while pouring a cup of tea.

"I heard about that too, both of the sorcerers come from families that have some Jujutsu past." Konchi answered, smiling, as he reached for his fresh tea.

"Well, I know one of them very well, I've had quite a few run-ins with the Kizen. The current one is the younger sister of a Kizen I know quite well after all. I'm not sure about the Shiruku though, I heard they were distant relatives of the Asashi Family. In any case, Cursed Spirit activity has been increasing lately. I hope the newbloods won't encounter too much trouble" she glances over to Konchi's hand "tea is hot by the way"

”Well, I don't think that will be the case, a hospital cursed object supposed to keep curses away has been forgotten about for months and the place is wild, they are sending someone over tommorow” Says Konichi with a worried face, burning his lips with the tea seconds later.

Haruka takes a sip of her tea, "That doesn't sound like something students should handle... who are they going to send?" she has a worried tone in her voice, but she follows up with "Maybe I should volunteer and get these old bones moving" trying to keep the mood light.

“It's sad, the higher ups only talk and don't act, I don't know who's going, but I think Shotō will go with them and i trust him… It is supposed to be a special grade however” Konchi answers with an even more worried face, sipping on his tea with a burnt tongue.

“I’ll try to free up some time in my schedule then. I’m not semi-special grade for nothing after all” she snickers taking another sip of tea. “Plus I want to try something out, did you know Positive energy cuts through curses like a hot knife through butter due to their opposite natures. Even lower grade Positive Energy can easily break through a Curses defences".

"Controlling positive cursed energy is something a really small minority of people can do, I'm trying, but I still can't do shit." He answers. "I would go, but there's already too much people going, and I don't exactly have time either." He adds and takes another sip of the hot tea.

"I'm not sure how much I can help with that but..." Haruka brings both palms together, placing them on top of each other horizontally as she courses Cursed Energy in her right hand and Positive Energy in her left hand. "You see my body naturally produces a balance of both Positive and Negative energy. But if I were to describe the feeling of producing and outputting 'Positive' Energy or 'Reverse Curse' Energy... it's a feeling that can be moulded similarly to Curse Energy. A negative times a negative creates a positive. Separate a single source into two and multiply it together into one. The negative which destroys turns into a positive which creates" As Haruka separates her palms, her right hand starts to become covered in Positive energy as well. "The hardest part is figuring out the technicality behind the multiplication and of different sources of Cursed Energy". Thus, she finishes her demonstration, she takes a sip of tea, warming it up with a Cursed Technique and gives Konchi a smile.

"Listen, I can try, but I doubt it will go well..." Answers Konchi. Laughing awkwardly, he puts his palms together, conjuring cursed energy in both of them in hopes of creating positive energy. Nothing, he tries increasing the cursed energy output and yet, nothing. "I really can't, told you."

"That's because what you're doing is adding the same energy atop of itself, that's addition not multiplication." Haruka explain, "It'll come in due time things like these aren't something that can be rushed" she says while going to refill her empty cup of tea. "You'll get there eventually. Nonetheless, do take care out there" she adds.

"So should you, a special grade anomaly could be fatal you know!" He says with a worried look. "Let's hope nothing goes wrong."

"I will, don't worry. I've dealt with enough 'fatal' events to know my way around them, if anything I'm more worried about the students" she stares up at the sky. "I've dealt with a Special-Grade level before. Can't say I came out unscathed" Haruka adds while rearranging her bangs to better hide her scars.
