## Turning Point

The alarm beeped before Kurayami smashed it into the table. August 31st was the date on his phone, he was transferring to a new school today, a school only few have the chance to go to, the Tokyo Curse College. His uncle was a teacher there, and he was supposed to pick him up in around half an hour from now, yet Kurayami didn't even get out of the bed yet. "Kurayami Shiruku, get out of your bed NOW, your uncle will be here any minute!" His mother yelled at him from across the house, she knew he was transferring school, she just didn't know how big of a deal this school was, she never even heard about Jujutsu before, and she probably never will.

Just after Kurayami put his clothes on, the door rang. His uncle was already there, and it wasn't even half an hour, he ran down the stairs to open the door for him. "Hello Kurami, I'm here to pick you up." Said his uncle, Chikara, almost like talking to some buisness partner. "It's Kurayami, not Kurami, anyways I will be right back, i gotta get my things from upstairs." Kurayami answered as he ran off upstairs again, Chikara waited till his nephew got down with his suitcase, holding it with ease. "Do you want me to help with that honey, is it too heavy? Let me take it downstairs for you!" Said his mom, grabbing the suitcase away from him, Kurayami just sighed. His mom stuffed her son's suitcase into the car trunk, having a tear in her eye as she saw the car drive off.

"So, how was your school before Kuram- Kurayami, I mean, sorry." Chikara said, again embarassed, trying to start a conversation with a 15 he last saw as a child. "Uh, good I guess" An obvious lie by Kurayami, his only friend drove off to Korea when he was 11. The rest of the conversation went awkward, it was a long drive to Tokyo, but they finally arrived.

Kurayami took his suitcase and followed his uncle to a dorm that was assigned to him. It was a huge room, kitchen, a bathroom, everything was there. "So, this is your dorm, if you need anything tomorrow, I will probably be at the outside training area" Said Chikarami just before quickly leaving. Kurayami walked around his dorm, there was a uniform on his bed, he took a look at it. "The fuck, this has to be the ugliest piece of clothing I've ever seen" He said and remembered he can take it to a teacher and ask for a custom one later, Kurayamis fashion choices were a bit questionable to others, that may be one of the reason why he never had any friends in school. The twelve o'clock hit a long time ago and Kura knew he had class the next day, so he wandered off to sleep.

## Day One

The alarm rang just like the day before, this time however much sooner, at around 6:30, the class was starting just in an hour or so. He got his uniform, complaining the whole about it the whole time for himself. As he completed his routine, he walked out of the dorm, and to his surprised saw a tall girl walking in his direction.

She continues to walk, stopping by to present herself, "Goodmorning, my name is Byakko Kizen, but you may call me Shiroe", she says gently while bowing slightly, "I'm a first year, and I've gotten a bit lost while I was reading, How may I call you?". Her uniform seems to have already been modified to fit her fancy, she carries a messenger bag over her shoulder and has a book in hand.

"K- Kura, you can call me Kura" Kurayami always had trouble speaking to new people and was very visibly nervous. "So, are you going to class right now?" He added quietly. Just now, he realized how many new people will be here. He was hoping he would finally have some friends, but he felt like he didn't exactly make a good first impression.

“Nice to meet you Kura” Shiroe gives him a gentle smile. “Yes, I am heading to class and I assume you are too? Would you mind guiding me there? I hope we can be friends” She packs her book into her bag and turns around the walk, stopping a bit awkwardly. “Uh… please do guide me I’m lost” she says while turning back to face Kurayami with a bit of an awkward smile, her head laying a bit low from embarrassment.

"Oh the class, I think it's in the building outside, Chikara told me so yesterday" Kura said as he started walking towards the building's exit. "At least I think so, I don't remember correctly" He mumbled quietly, keeping on walking.

“Lead the way” she says, joyfully following behind Kurayami until they reached their destination. They opened the door to the class, and to their surprise, only Chikara was sitting there, behind the teacher's desk reading a book, the other first years didn't arrive yet. "Hey, are we in the right class" Kura asked the teacher. "Yes, please have a seat"

Shiroe has a much more stern and professional expression as she greets the teacher, "Goodmorning Sir, I am Byakko Kizen however you may call me Shiroe Kizen instead. A pleasure to make your acquaintance" finishing her sentence with an elegant bow. Swiftly, she takes a seat at the front of the class and places a notebook and pencil case onto her desk and waits. Kura sat down too, which Chikara starting the class.

"The class is dismissed", Chikara said as he grabbed his book to read again. The two left the class, walking down the hall, someone shouted at them from behind, "You two, could you please follow" A tall figure, with long black hair was standing at the other side of the hallway. Kura and Shiroe followed him to a small room. "Have a seat, my name is Haru, you probably know me already." The teacher said to them. "There has been an emergency, and you two are the only ones available right now, I need you to go to the Tokyo downtowns, there has been people reported missing." Haru said, softly laughing in embarrassment, not many people get send to a mission their first day.

"It's understandable, do we have concrete confirmation or proof of Cursed Spirit activity or other?" Shiroe's tone of voice is strict, dry, and professional. "What Grade should we expect if we encounter a Cursed Spirit or rogue Sorcerer? How much information do we have?" she begins to check her bag to make sure all her equipment is inside. "Will it only be me and Kura going? Can we expect reinforcements?"

"There has been traces of cursed energy usage in the area, im almost sure its going to be a cursed spirit, and if so, a very powerful one, my guess is around Grade 2, but it can be even worse." Haru said, switching to a more serious mode, while Kura still stayed quiet. "And reinforcements are unlikely, i would go but i can’t, Chikara and I have to attend a meeting with the higher-ups, and the other sorcerers are out as of now." He added.

“Understood”, Shiroe gets ready to walk out, and faces Kura “get your stuff ready partner, looks like we got a cursed spirit to hunt. I’ll meet you at the schools main entrance in 10 minutes”. She then walks off to her dorm to get the rest of her equipment.

"Oh, alright" Kura sighs and gets up to walk off. "Be careful, if something goes wrong, turn and run." Haru says to him before leaving the room too. The two meet at the enterance, to enter a car. driving off to the Tokyo downtowns.

## Downtowns Curse

As they arrived their driver cast a curtain to keep people away from this place of horrors, the second they left the car, they were hit with the scent of blood and felt strong cursed energy. "I- I think its the building there" Kura pointed to a building the cursed energy radiated from. He started walking towards the building.

Shiroe checked her equipment one last time, making sure the armor padding she wore on her limbs were properly fitted and the knives and daggers, as well as her katana and handgun were in good condition. She now worse a pair of shorts with knee high armoured boots with her uniform top. “Equipment check.” She caught up quickly behind Kura, drawing her handgun and a combat knife in anticipation. “Haru said grade 2 but it may be higher, I’d say prepare for the worst and expect a grade 1 cursed spirit of some kind. You know what they say, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.” Shiroe takes the lead as she walks in front weapons drawn.

The two entered the abandoned and half-destroyed building, Kura turned around and the entrance was gone, he heard some things about domains from his uncle and figured this was a incomplete one. "Hey Shiroe, the enterance is gone." He said quietly to her as he turned around. She wasnt there, the curse split them up. "Shiroe can you hear me?" He yelled.

Shiroe remained quiet, a shiver goes down her spine as she noticed Kura is gone. “Shit” she swore dryly under her breath.

The area is damp and dark, the monotonous grey and aged walls of the abandoned building broken by exposed piping, wood and carpets lefts. Yet the most unsettling part are the fully blacked out windows.

Through her knowledge on curses Shiroe knows, she may very well be inside a Domain now or a curtain of some kind. “2nd grade my ass…” now bringing her blade and gun into a ready position she courses her cursed energy around her body to get ready for battle.

Meanwhile, Kura was fending off a curse, around Grade 3 in power, always looking around, incase the main curse would appear. "Fuck, I have to find Shiroe, I dont stand a chance alone" He mumbles, finally killing the curse.

He ran through the hallways, trying to find his partner, with no luck. As he ran through another corridor, he felt the curses presence, without time to react it punched him, sending him through many concrete walls, he managed to spread out cursed energy throughout his body, so he negated the impact, it still definitely injured him a lot, he felt his ribs break, then finally, through the holes he made in the walls, he saw the curse.

A huge, muscular creature with 5 different heads stood and the end, it was definitely higher than Grade 2, he started running, systematically placing strings with his innate technique to slow the curse down a little bit. He heard it running to him, so instead, he created strings imbued with cursed energy to destroy the building, sucessfully, he broke down the walls around him, but the curse quickly broke through.

He used his agility to dodge the curses blows, getting further and further away from it, he also tried cutting it with his strings, with almost no sucess, only a drop of blood fell to the ground as Kura cut the curse standing in front of him, shouting Shiroes name so she would find him.

Shiroe could hear the sounds of walls breaking echoing through the empty hallways “Kura!” She yelled running down the hallway, maximizing the output around her body to increase her speed to her limit, imbuing her blade and pouring energy into her handgun. “Make it in time, make it in time” she thought to herself as she sprinted. Her cursed energy being strained across her body and weapons fired her more than usual. Sghe dispatches weaker grade 3 curses with swift strikes as she blasts through concrete walls with bullets and physical might.

Finally, she can hear Kura yelling her name, confirming he is still alive. Thus, Shiroe steadied her breath, calmed her nerves and dashes towards the source of the sound, already attempting to formulate a plan. She activates Falling Blossom Emotion as she senses herself appraoching the Cursed Spirits energy. Within moments, She blasts through the wall in the hallway landing in front of the Cursed Spirit, throwing the combat knife in hand towards it as she shoots the last bullet in her clip and stows her handgun, Ivory. In anticipation, Shiroe gets into an Iai-stance to draw her blade, activating Ash Blossom.

The Grade 1 curse, hitting Kura in the guts, knocking him away, turns to Shiroe and charges at the girl, covered in cursed energy. In response she tightens her grip around her blade, and prepares herself, as she courses her cursed energy within the output range she can control with ease. Thus, she awaits for the perfect timing as she sharpens her forcus, with a piercing glare at the curse. Three steps, two steps, one step away, she maximizes her output, using her Kizen blood to bluff and make herself and her Cursed Energy more imposing as she unfurls a full powered slash.

Cutting right through the curses arms, it falls back and starts regenerating, Kura getting up, using his technique, **Thousand Layered Cut**. Shattering the ground, getting the curse off balance for Shiroe to strike, "Its now or never." He yells at her as he makes a opening. "Don't need to tell me twice." and she dashes forward as sheats her blade. Once more, she uses the Ash Blossom technique again, aiming to decapiate the Curse in the same fashion she cut it up earlier.

The cursed spirit had no time to react, as his head fell to the ground, the place started crumbling, “We have to get out of here, NOW!” Kura shouted as he started running, getting hit by a piece of debris from time to time. Shroe picks up Kura and dashes, her output is maximized as she abandonned refined control and opted for sheer power to dash out as quickly as she can jumps out of the nearest window onto the ground. As they landed, she managed barely manages to keep her legs in one piece, causing her to groan in pain. Kura let out a weak grunt as the wind was knocked out of him from the rough carrying and wall. "That was such a pain..." Shiroe hissed out, "Never jumping out of a building unprepared like that again." As they boath headed to the driver, they rush back to Tokyo Curse College to get Kura medical help as soon as possible. Thus, their first and quite eventful mission, ended.
