Because there's a cost to everything, but especially in dealing with the occult.
Life and death works on balances and trades. Like how you might have to withstand the pain of disinfectant in your wounds for them to heal well. Occult healing has its benefits of not needing tools, sure, but there's still a cost somewhere.
[ But wow... the shadows are back! They take Daan, and he'll find himself in the elevator of a residential building.
You're on your way to the escort mission, where you're going to rendezvous with the baby you're meant to babysit, chatting through the specifics with Satoru.
And, as per usual, he's saying some audacious shit. Thankfully, you're so used to lecturing him at this point that you don't even flinch as an explosive goes off. ]
There are some humans that aren't sorcerers, but have exceptional power. They essentially forfeit their access to abilities that come with cursed energy, but instead enhancing basic skills like strength and speed.
I say forfeit, but in these cases it happens at birth.
Not normally. Most people could go their entire lives without ever coming across anything that could be considered a monster...
...Anyway, superhumans aren't really a thing as far as I'm aware, outside of maybe some implications of human experimentation in the Bremen Army I've discovered recently.

Maybe you can use your imagination?

Ah... No... When I use my powers I have to sacrifice my imagination.

What powers do you have?

[ Or is it just cursed energy. Well either way it has curse in the name so it seems apt. ]

[ Is it normal to like... have one as a pet... ]
And what does it... do?
no subject
[ ... ]
At least I think so. I don't have my powers so I can't tell. [ oops ] Anyway, it basically has infinite storage so it's pretty useful.

If it doesn't bother you, then that's all good and fine.
[ The worm is disturbing but if Geto's got it under control then that's. Okay? ]
A living, bottomless bag sure is something though.

Anyway the squids and manta are outright cute in comparison, help. Your cuttlefish, Geto. ]

Oh, my.
Looks like what you do is a lot more dangerous than I was originally imagining...

He felt fishy that day. Anyway, he just smiles. ]
It's not that bad. Fighting humans is usually easier than fighting curses. [ ... ] Usually.

[ Raising a brow. Not that he doesn't get the idea, not all animals are stronger than humans. But still, curious. ]

...What, so... superhumans?
[ The way everyone's fantasy worlds sounds so crazy to him despite his everything is really funny. He's just a dude. ]
no subject
Is that hard to believe? Don't you have monsters where you come from?
