It belatedly occurs to Shiki that killing a Grade One curse is somehow

significant.

' She doesn 't understand it. Shiki really, really doesn 't understand it at all. When the Gojo Clan had assessed her powers, they 'd literally brought a Grade One curse right in front of her, to test if she could see its lines. She 'd killed it, then, so ' how was this anything new?

Ken-jichan might 've called this particular Grade One a 'cursed god, ' but that was only an empty title. A cursed god was still a curse, at the end of the day. It was a

curse,

and curses were meant to be killed.

Had she done something wrong? She doesn 't think so '

Besides, if Shiki hadn 't killed it ' at the time, Kiyohira-sensei and Jihei-san 's techniques hadn 't been enough to overcome the cursed god 's regeneration. And if they couldn 't exorcise it, then it was entirely possible that the curse would eventually wear them down and kill

them
