I turned my gaze inward, asking the deepest reaches of my being: Can I do this?

My heart was full of fear and apprehension. I knew very well that if I were to bring my power to bear, here and now...there was a real chance that I would surpass the limits of my flesh. If I used my power more than a set number of times in a single day...nothing in particular would happen. Furthermore, using an incomplete technique could place a burden on my body too great for me to bear...which didn’t really matter, since this wasn’t one of those.

Still, though, using Dark and Dark here and now would be, well...honestly, considering the current climate, it’d be pretty rough. The student council room’s air conditioner was off, and the prospect of using my power for the first time in quite a while already had me breaking out into a nervous, excited cold sweat. Ugh, no way—I can’t! If I use my power now, I’ll end up soaked to the skin! And I still have to go to our club meeting after this!

Nevertheless, I couldn’t stop. I had to use my power, for Kudou’s sake. Hang in there, O body of mine! The time has come to invoke Dark and Dark...with a full three times your usual intensity!

“I am he...who conquers chaos,” I recited as I held my right arm aloft, the words slipping past my lips like a verse from the world’s most exquisite work of poetry. Those were the keywords that would unlock my power—the malediction that served as its trigger.

Once, when I recited the Malediction in front of Kudou, I was so nervous I completely flubbed the whole thing. Today, I would make up for that mistake! Peel your eyes and bear witness, Kudou! Watch as for the first time in a very, very long while, I recite the Malediction in full!

“O purgatorial flame that sways upon the brink of the Abyss, O twisted blaze of sable darkness, blighted crimson of deepest—”

“Yoink.”

“-niaaugh?!” I yelped as Kudou stole my power halfway through my invocation and I lost my balance, tumbling to the ground in a heap. “N-No, Kudou, no! That was too soon! You jumped the gun! I wasn’t finished reciting my Malediction!” I sputtered.

“Huh? O-Oh, really?” said Kudou. “But...you’re the one who said that I could steal your power, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, but you have to time it right! I hadn’t even activated my power yet!”

“No, you definitely had. There were little black wisps coming out of your arm, so I’m sure of it.”

“That’s not... That’s not!” I shouted, unable to come up with a decent objection.

Strictly speaking, she was right. I really had started my power up halfway through the Malediction, out of necessity. My goal had been to make it look like my power was gradually seeping out from within me over the course of my incantation, so I’d just barely put out a tiny quantity of flame early, carefully reining it in so it set the stage but didn’t go overboard.
