Transmigrated as Sukuna, but the Host is Yukinoshita?

Chapter 14 – Opening a Special Session

“Ahh~”

Hachiman Hikigaya lay down in the bathtub and unconsciously let out a sigh.

Warm water soaked his body, and every pore on him stretched out to release a day’s accumulated fatigue.

Komachi, who was studying in the living room, heard his sound and said with surprise, “Oh? It’s unusual for you to emit such worn-out cries you usually only make after a whole day of work.”

“Mind your own business.” Hikigaya mumbled while covering his face with a hot towel.

Though he didn’t actually work, he was genuinely tired, physically and especially mentally.

Once you think more about the nature of curse energy, you will understand why I failed just now.

Recalling what Lin Qi said, Hikigaya, who had relaxed, began to ponder subconsciously.

The essence of curse energy is energy born from negative emotions, so could the reason for my failure be due to lack of such emotions?

Would I need to constantly stay angry and afraid to use curse energy?

He immediately dismissed this thought himself.

Just observe Lin Qi: even though he demonstrated the difference between simple curse attacks and techniques with his feelings of amusement rather than negativity, how can I be like that?

Could I have to think of something sad to produce curse power, like an actor crying?

If so, I have plenty of tragic pasts!

Covering his face with a towel, Hikigaya immersed in his hidden, miserable memories.

Felt it!

This is the curse energy derived from my past pain!

Seeing the curse energy flare up in his hand made him feel as if he might cry; if using curse energy always required remembering dark times, he would likely be defeated by his past before any fight.

Upon first learning there was a not-so-peaceful world with cursed spirits and sorcerers, Hikigaya was immediately excited.

If things like curses existed, maybe the three great creators also exist?

But after the excitement, and having experienced the loss of a limb, he wondered in a calm state whether he truly could decide to battle cursed spirits if he doesn’t even want to go to work.

Work stakes his life and dignity, but battles stake his very life—choosing the lesser evil, he prefers work.

“What if tomorrow I say I no longer want to learn jujutsu… Will Teacher Lin kill me?”

Hikigaya stared gloomily at the bathroom ceiling.

…

Yukinoshita Snowy indeed is a strong person.

“Even if you stare at your hands, you still can’t do what’s impossible,” Lin Qi pointed out.

She had been trying since dinner, yet she hasn’t succeeded once despite her frustration.

Unable to use curse energy even in a heavy emotional state, there’s no way she could now given the calm condition.

Despite making her furious, she still isn’t anywhere near the despair and regret Hikigaya felt when his arm was severed.

It wasn’t merely a talent issue but also a cognitive gap.

“Idiot, thinking with existing science theories won’t help! How could that lead to success?” Seeing her frowning and racking her brain, Lin Qi couldn’t help but comment, “It relies on feeling! The feeling!”

Her annoyance increased hearing him incessantly repeating this. Her agitation made it hard to concentrate; she felt that her negative emotions were heightened.

“If you have advice, give substantial ones. Don’t just blabber like a machine,” the girl muttered unhappily. She had never faced such a challenge before, no matter how much she tried.

I know understanding curse energy this complex isn’t easy with just current science, but this is all I can do. Saying feel this or that, who understands?

“Tsk, ultimately relying on others is still needed,” Lin Qi remarked. “Call me teacher.”

However, unexpectedly, snow-white Yukinoshita’s face turned cold, lips tightly shut, and silent; she continued fighting with her palm without paying attention to his chatter.

Uh? Why suddenly upset?

Lin Qi was bewildered by the sudden shift, but with his EQ, he forcibly seized control of her body.

You!

“Quiet, watch and learn,” Lin Qi said, personally demonstrating for her how to activate and use curse energy effectively with her body.

“Using only negative emotions to extract curse energy is impractical and troublesome. The right method involves stimulating it from slight emotions and controlling it. Avoid wasting it during emotional surges.”

“Do you understand?”

…Probably.

Though prone to being stubborn, her intellect was genuine. Unable to succeed was solely due to faulty thinking. Under firm control, he detailedly demonstrated again, and she gradually grasped the key points.

“Try it,” Lin Qi handed the control back.

Indeed, Yukinoshita was not posturing. Though it took some time, a faint curse energy flared around her body before being enveloped like a blue flame.

“I… I did it?” Despite hurdles, joy pushed up a corner of her mouth.

Realizing she was still angry, she stifled excitement, maintaining an expressionless countenance as she washed an apple in the open kitchen sink.

Facing the provoking Parasitic Bug, she struggled to thank him sincerely, still holding grudges against the notorious Sukuna from a thousand years ago. This was her limit.

Heart soft but mouth unyielding.

What’s with this guy? An arrogant one?

Laughing to himself inwardly, Lin Qi bit into her apple, knowingly accepting her good intentions.

…

After school, then becoming a jujutsu sorcerer:
