Class Change
'This Kira is really strong!'
Sulu carried Kira into the apartment bedroom.
"Open the hidden compartment behind the headboard!"
Following Kira's instructions, Sulu opened a hidden compartment and found that there weren't many things inside: a bag of Gold Dragon, a stack of documents, a revolver covered with various runes, and three strange cards.
"Curio?!"
After a brief examination, he unceremoniously took the pistol and cards into his own hands.
Seeing this, Kira Giles, who was tending to his injured leg, gave a wry smile, "Alright... you can keep the gun, but I need a ' Sealing Scroll,' which is the card you have!"
You mean... this?
Sulu held up a card with a puzzled expression. It was about the size of a child's palm, pale silver in color, and made of some unknown material. The front was blank, while the back had a the Vortex pattern that seemed to attract people's souls.
"That's it! It's a Curio, specifically designed to seal away certain immortal spirits, such as Cursed Spirit! But now... I'm injured, so I have to deal with that Evil Spirit first."
Kira's face showed a hint of regret. "This is the most suitable tool for us [Medium]. The incantation to activate it is simple, but it must be combined with the power of Spirit Pressure and Spirit Spike!"
At that moment, both he and Sulu's expressions changed.
Their Inspiration sensed the arrival of Evil Spirit.
"You cooperate with me and use the Spirit Spike to restrain it, I'll seal it!" Kira took the Sealing Card, ready for battle.
The next moment.
A dark shadow, moving at a speed imperceptible to ordinary people, pierced through the wall and entered the bedroom.
Fortunately, Sulu never relied on eye contact to identify ghosts.
"Spirit Spike!"
With a soft shout, he advanced to [Occultist] and raised the level of his Spirit Spike to LV2. The power he unleashed caused Kira, who was standing next to him, to change his expression.
Puff!
In an instant, Sulu sensed that his Spirit Spike had hit its target.
The Werewolf Gentleman Evil Spirit was now suspended in mid-air, struggling with itself.
If it were a first-tier [Medium], they would have already lost in this contest of vastly unequal strength, but Sulu is still holding on.
"Seal!"
Kira's face showed a flash of surprise, and he quickly recited a spell.
A flash of light appeared on the Sealing Card, which then floated up and hovered in front of the Evil Spirit, with a mysterious the Vortex swirling behind it.
The Evil Spirit's body uncontrollably formed a beam of light, which was then swallowed by the Vortex.
The light on the card faded, and it fell to the ground.
Sulu could clearly see that its originally blank front now bore the image of a Werewolf Gentleman.
"It... is sealed away?"
Sulu asked in astonishment.
A Evil Spirit that caused chaos and was just one step away from advancing to the third tier was simply defeated?
"Of course... these are ' Sealing Card '! I found these Curio in the ruins; they're meant to deal with ' Cursed Spirit.' Sealing a second-tier Evil Spirit would be a waste!"
Kira glanced quickly at the window. "Hurry up, do you want to end up in the police station?"
"Too!"
Sura grabbed Kira by the back of his collar and, as if lifting a child, jumped out of the window.
"Who goes there?!"
Several officers who approached immediately drew their guns and questioned him.
They saw a man wearing a silver mask carrying a large man, running at a speed that defied common sense!
"Spirit Pressure!"
Sulu released his Spirit Pressure, causing chaos among those surrounding him, and broke through the encirclement in one breath.
An hour later, in the suburbs.
A scream suddenly echoed from a Silence forest.
"Ah... my leg!"
Kira sat half-upright on the ground, tending to the injury on his leg.
He discovered that not only was his right leg pierced by a bone spur, but his left leg had also been stepped on by someone, resulting in some fractures.
Previously, the bleeding was only temporarily stopped in the bedroom; now, the wound is being cleaned.
At the same time, his expression turned grim when he looked at Sulu.
They were just asking for help, how did it escalate to this point?
As if sensing his hesitation, Sulu comforted him, "Take it easy, buddy! Although you might need to use a wheelchair for a while, it's nothing. Maybe it's the beginning of good luck... In my hometown, there's a lucky ritual that claims that breaking a leg is a necessary trial to become a king. As long as you learn the skill of rolling your eyes, and then get your leg broken, you can win in the end and sit in an iron wheelchair... Ah, no, on the throne!"
"Really? I've never heard of that before?"
Kira Giles rolled her eyes, but after a moment of silence, she let out a long sigh, "Anyway, thank you for saving me!"
Although the process was terrible, Sulu did manage to rescue him from the Spirit World!
Furthermore, he keenly realized that Sulu was also a second-tier [Occultist], the same rank as him! Yet he himself had lost a leg and all his Curio had been confiscated by the other party.
In the event of a conflict, it will definitely not be Sulu who suffers!
This was a situation secretly created by Sulu.
"Alright... so, shouldn't we discuss the issue of compensation again?"
Sulu rubbed his index finger and thumb together. "Because this time it not only involves Evil Spirit, but also helping you break through, I'm raising the price. I think this pistol and cards are quite good!"
"That's impossible! Do you know how much I've sacrificed for them?" Kira immediately shook his head. "At most, I'll give you one ' Sealing Card '!"
"Okay, one is fine!"
Sulu was very interested in the Curio unearthed from this ancient ruin, which was said to be able to seal away Cursed Spirit.
Kira Giles looked at Sulu more closely. "I didn't expect you to already be a [Occultist]. It seems either my perception was wrong last time, or you're nearing the limit of your advancement. I will keep my promise and give you the complete inheritance of [Medium]!"
"OK!"
Sulu was both excited and expectant. "What is that complete inheritance you have?"
Kira Giles sighed, "Actually... I think the lineage within those ruins is the true path for [Medium]. It's a pity it lacks the fourth tier! In fact... I later researched and found that historically, some [Medium] did find the follow-up profession of [Thaumaturge], but they still couldn't advance to the legendary fifth tier! Because it's a special job advancement!"
"A special... job change?"
"A career path is like a series of forks... like a series of big trees. But sometimes, the branches of two adjacent trees will intersect, and that's called a special career change!"
Kira smiled, "The so-called special job change requires the fusion of two professions. In other words, you must hold both to form a unique profession! For example, the third-tier [Cursed Swordsman] requires the practitioner to first hold the second-tier [Swordsman] and second-tier [Spellcaster] positions! Among all third-tier expert-level superhumans, [Cursed Swordsman] are among the top tier, possessing exquisite swordsmanship and spellcasting abilities—they are terrifyingly powerful!"
