So he puts his mana in the negative to make the other dude’s hp negative, so they’ll die incredibly quickly?
Wacky

 

[Sebasse]

I really like this manga so far

 

[Dreadkiwi]

So he has some wonky ability that harms someone else at a price, I guess.

 

[pl3b]

Looks like he exchanged mana loss for hp loss, since both of them lost 239.

 

[Fui-nee]

He- he doesn't know what is cursed mean? Hello mr gonna be dense protag and dunno if he become op or not, but I like this manga cuz the little one

 

[ISingTheBodyElectric]

Its actually interesting that technically he had cursed the guy for an amount bigger than his mana pool ?

And he's cursed until the other guy removes the curse or dies I guess.

loli is still very pettable

 

[Agis]

so he's cursed because he cursed someone, I don't think that's how cursing someone works, unless its because of his evil eye. We will hopefully find out next chapter

 

[FireCamp]

IDK! Maybe cursed means cursed u know from the verb to curse or the noun curse

 

[liquidsword]

@Fui-new Really? He knows what the word itself means, but he obviously doesn’t know the specifics and how it works, or how it even happened in the first place. How is that being dense when he literally just got into that world and hasn’t been educated about things like that? It might not even be something common because the receptionist didn’t even mention “cursed.”

 

[someunregpunk]

so i guess the title makes sense now.

too literal though.

@Agis
In Jigoku Shoujo, if you send someone to hell, you go to hell yourself when you die.
Like Enma Ai says : "Two holes will appear as you curse a person."

 

[ampnaman]

Haha. Destiny bond.

 

[ShionSinX]

@Agis looks like its the cost to curse. He probably will be able to reduce someone's stats (not only HP) 'paying' that much MP until the curse is lifted (I guess the target dying also ends the effect). If he had more MP I guess that wouldnt be so bad, and also when he gets to control the power better to not get to a negative MP amount.

 

[Nyaaa]

It means you are cursed.

 

[lomy]

What he meant is how he was cursed in the 1st place

 

[Svelandria]

@ISingTheBodyElectric He didn't curse the guy for an amount bigger than his mana pool, rather he cursed him for the max amount possible without draining his own MP completely. What you are seeing is the current MP and HP left and then the amount that was reduced after it in parentheses. Combine the two amounts and you get the original amount of HP/MP that the target had before being cursed. Tsuguto had 240 MP, so the max he could curse the guy was 239. With this in mind, should he ever be able to increase his mana pool then he could literally curse someone to death if they have less HP than he has MP, or at least reduce their hp to one if there is a limit to how much he can reduce their HP. Imo, it's not too powerful at first, but it has a LOT of potential. It could literally be the difference between life and death if he is faced against a foe that he can only get a single hit on safely before he needs to back away, or if he wants to cheese an otherwise difficult opponent by reducing their HP low enough that a singe ranged attack could kill them. Combine this with his throwing skill that he gained after tossing that rock before, and he is in a very good position. If he can get a sniping skill it would be even better, where he could see an enemy from a great distance, curse them, then snipe them and get his MP back after they die so he can repeat the process, all while the other enemies near the first panic because they are getting picked off one by one by a distant target that they can't find. It's an archer's wet dream. :3

Thanks for the update. <3

 

[justforthelulz]

Still not as bad of a deal as a GameStop trade.

@Svelandria why are you counting the +10 he just got from the tag ? The other guy was cursed for -239 and we were shown that in the evening, clearly before our guy got the tag that gives him +10, so he clearly cursed him for more than his mana pool, which was 230 before the tag.
