|POLARITY| Gojo Satoru x Reader

7.

"Negative Inversion." I sink my fingernails into the curse's face as it tries to escape my grasp.. Touching my enemy makes their cells die faster as I make it impossible for energy to go into them. The lumpy goblin freezes as his brain becomes useless when my technique takes control of the impulses sent to his muscles.

I stand ignoring the way my knees buckle at my weight. Shit I dont have much energy. Even my reversed curse technique is being weakened by the lack of sustenance, healing my legs isn't giving me much relief.

I'm almost at the exit. Just a little more.

I walk as I try to ignore the nausea I feel from the smell, or maybe it's the hunger I have. "I am so tired."

Polarity switches are exhausting attacks I can do. If there were metals in here, getting through the low-level curses would be a lot easier, as I could just magnetically attach structures to them to crush them. But in this prison, everything is empty. My stomach growls, but I try not to think of it as I reach the final floor.

The last level, where a special-grade curse awaits.

I feel a shiver going down my spine as I get to the door. I know what's behind this—the black ocean. Once underwater, it is impossible to recognize the surface from the bottom. I breathe in deeply before stepping inside. As the new level awakens, the calm water starts to form waves. It's always ominous, the sky quickly graying, as if warning of what resides in the water, the ocean starts getting more agitated with each step I give.

What if I head back?

No... I have too get out, I dont want to have to eat another curse. Ever again.

Father... I still have to make him pay.

I take my first step into the water. I know it will happen any second now, but it still scares me when a tentacle grabs my ankle and submerges me. My vision is instantly gone once I go under.

My hand holds on to the tentacle. I need to say it. "Negative inversion." The air leaving my lungs as I do. The grip it has on my ankle subsides as it melts off. Shit. Of course, these aren't the ones attached to the core. I need air. I invert the polarity of my body to float back up, gasping for air in a hurry.. The kraken-like curse grabs a hold of me again, pulling me back down.

I feel my eyes tear up, I hate the darkness of it, the feeling of not being able to breathe in makes me feel so powerless.

The last times, I defeated it by making it use up all its arms until my technique reached the core. But this time, I have not taken any breaks getting here. I don't think I have it in me. Shit, I'm way too tired. At this rate, I'll end up dying.

Should I try it out?

Another use of my technique.

I ignore the lump on my throat as I focus, I feel my hair floating up. I'll use the technique I'm still practicing. I begin to alter the polarity of the magnetic field around me underwater. My energy depletes as I switch it fast enough to create an electric current. The negative and positive charges bump into each other generating sparks. I charge up enough, and once I feel like my body can't resist more, I release it. "Reversal Spark." The water engulfs in a flicker of light as everything around me gets shocked. I can feel myself lighten up as the kraken loosens it's hold, I make myself float upwards, my eyes almost don't want to look as the squid-like body floats to the top.I look away as I notice it had eyes.

"You are uglier than I thought." I have never been able to see it under the water, so I look away in disgust. As I see the top of the box open, I repel myself from the water and manage to leave. The meaty cube deforms to let me out, the vines falling off of my body. My eyes try to get accustomed to the light. I'm in a dark place. As I move around, I bump my head on a hanger "Ouch". I open the door.

No way that fucker just hid the box in the infirmary's closet.

"That little fucker threw me in there," I mutter, trying to control myself as i come out. "I swear when I'm done with the six-eyed freak, he is next." I look out the window, night time. I'm starving. The night passes by as I bring food to the infirmary, not feeling like going to my dorm or bumping into someone yet. A good night of sleep after being inside that box is impossible. When I close my eyes, I still feel like I could be attacked any second. I try to get some rest but it doesn't take long for morning to come, I think about pretending to still be in the cube. But since I got out pretty fast, I want to see the look on Yaga's face.

The idiot should be joyous, imagining his little doll-like curses still beating me up.

I want him dead.

I remember telling him as a kid how I feared deep water, so he placed that oceanic special-grade curse just for me. The first time I saw it, I kept going back to the door too scared to kill it, eating curses to subside.

Sick bastard.

I look at the clock and decide to stand up. It's almost time to go to class. I pass by my dorm to take a shower and put on a clean uniform. When I look in the mirror, I can't help but notice how eerie I look—like some type of wild being, my hair tangled, my eyes sunken and dark. It really took a toll on me to go to the cube again. At least I can't see my bones like last time. My cursed energy is acting up from the suppression chamber, creating an aura around me. I want Yaga to see it, I want him to see what he has done.

As I go through the hallway, I can't help but question: is he going to be proud of the monster he created? Maybe he will send me in again or create a stronger one. At some point, is he going to try to get rid of me? I really want to kill him someday. That is a matter of time.

I get to the classroom.

As I come closer, I know they'll feel the energy of the cube lingering on me. It's no use hiding the fact my cursed energy is tainted. Satoru already knows, i'm not dumb enough to consider the possibility of him thinking it's all in his head now, so I've been wondering what's the point of acting dumb now. I know Yaga, by now, is dying to see him on his knees. Since they know I can go through the limitless, they'll try to make us face each other soon.

I open the door, and the look on Yaga's face makes this worth it.

"That's a new record," he mumbles. I wish I took a photo. 

Are you finally scared?
