Ten days have passed since I began my life in the dorms. If there is one thing that has changed in that time, it is that Hatsume has made it possible to mass-produce spectacles that allow one to see Cursed Spirits. The girl is a true genius. I have no idea how she created a device that imbues objects with Cursed Energy when she possesses none herself. I simply don't understand it. Is this also the power of a "Quirk"? No, I was told her Quirk merely enhances her vision, allowing her to see across vast distances. So how did she build this? It is utterly beyond comprehension.
Well, I'll spare you the technical jargon. I wouldn't understand the specialized details even if I asked. I believe she said something about... incorporating my hair, blood, and bits of skin into the materials to increase affinity with Cursed Energy, making it easier for the energy to take hold... something about energy preservation and stabilizing devices...
Hmph. I don't know the exact principles. I don't understand them at all!
Regardless. The spectacles that allow one to see Curses—the "Cursed Eyes" (Noroi-manako)—are complete. This success is largely due to Principal Nezu's efforts—specifically, his financial power. By the way, Tokoyami was the one who named them. Does that boy have no talent for naming things? I was a fool to ask him. Though, I suppose I don't know if "Super-Cute Baby No. 66" would have been any better.
And so, the production system for the Cursed Eyes is established. It truly is a marvel. However, there is a catch.
The materials required to produce the Cursed Eyes are parts of my own body and my Cursed Energy. The former isn't an issue, as I can instantly restore myself with the Reverse Cursed Technique. The real problem is the energy. To create these tools, a massive amount of Cursed Energy must be infused into them over a long period. Specifically, I have to pour in nearly everything I have. If I try to stay within the limits of what my body can naturally replenish, it takes four days to make a single pair. Currently, we have only managed to produce one. From here on, we have no choice but to take our time.
Now then. Around noon today, I caught a harmless "Fly Head" Curse and brought it to the front of the dorms to test the performance of the Cursed Eyes with the teachers. That was when something extraordinary happened.
"Um, Young Mawari. Even after taking the glasses off... I can still see it."
What?
"...Hah?"
"No, I mean... even without the glasses... I can see that thing."
I could only stare in shock at All Might, who stood there looking slightly sheepish with one hand raised.
What did he just say? No, that's impossible. You shouldn't have any Cursed Energy, All Might. So why can you perceive a Cursed Spirit?
...Wait. This man... he does have Cursed Energy. Why? When I looked at him before, he didn't have any. What on earth is going on?
Is it possible that by perceiving the Curse, his mind finally recognized Cursed Energy and naturally began to perceive it? Within the few seconds he wore the glasses? No, that shouldn't be it. Because right now, he has clearly—and suddenly—acquired Cursed Energy. A massive amount of it, coursing through his entire being. A vast reservoir that might not even be much different from my own.
This is clearly bizarre.
"Ah, it disappeared. What in the world... no, I see. Is that how it is? If so..."
"All Might-san?" Aizawa asked, noticing his shift in tone.
"Ah, no, yes. It's nothing, Aizawa-kun. Young Mawari, do you have a moment? I have something important to discuss."
"I don't mind, but what is it?"
"Just come with me for a moment."
Entrusting the Cursed Eyes to Aizawa, I followed All Might to the back of the dorms. Strangely, his Cursed Energy had vanished again. I don't quite understand, but if he has something to say, I'll listen. It seems to be a conversation he doesn't want anyone else to overhear.
