The researcher turned to look at Nero with a hint of surprise in his gaze. It was a simple thing, really. It wasn't like it was a massive secret or anything of the sort. Most people still didn't pay attention to it, because regardless of what it was called or how it was described, it did not change its behaviour.
The only thing it affected, in a practical sense, was how researchers perceived and classified it. There was a great potential that in the future there would be some major breakthrough as a result of the express distinction, but that was far in the future. Currently they had made no progress on cursed energy despite studying it for so many years.
