She turned her head away.

As expected, the weapon in Miyauchi Hiyage's hand had a huge gash from the impact.

But Maki Zenin's gaze became even more serious.

The two weapons are not of the same level, but the damage they have suffered is not much different.

It could even be said that the weapon in her hand was more severely damaged.

Could the power awakened by the opponent further enhance the weapon in their hand?

Maki Zenin thought to herself.

At this point, the sparring between weapons could no longer continue.

Although these are all low-level spell tools for practice, they are still quite troublesome to maintain.

If she had known that her junior, who hadn't even started school yet, possessed such swordsmanship, she would have directly challenged him to a duel with a wooden sword.

Thinking about the two completely different sword techniques the other party had just used, Maki Zenin began to take an interest in him.

She tossed aside her badly damaged naginata and called out to Miyauchi Hiyage with great interest, "Your swordsmanship is not bad. Now let me see your taijutsu!"

In response, Miyauchi Hiyage glanced at the katana in his hand.

He was somewhat disappointed with the enhanced magic effects that came with the Projection Magic.

But thinking about it, it seems normal.

Projection Magic is all about overwhelming quantity, and the accompanying enhancement magic also emphasizes cost-effectiveness.

The projected weapon is already one level lower than the original, and this is after the enhancement magic has taken effect.

Although Miyauchi Hiyage's Projection Magic is an optimized version, it can almost reach the full level for these low-level magical tools, but that's about it.

"I should try to find a way to copy a batch of high-level magical tools to expand Unlimited Blade Works," Miyauchi Hiyage thought to himself, putting down his katana and shaking his head helplessly at Maki Zenin.

"Senior Zen Master, before I awakened to transcendence, I was just an ordinary high school student. I only learned these sword techniques two days ago. Apart from these sword techniques, I don't know any other physical skills."

Those haphazard boxing styles learned in the countryside can hardly be considered martial arts.

Although he still retained some memories of the copied Zenin Style Technique, he wasn't familiar with Maki Zenin at this point, so there was no need to bring it out.

Today, we've already revealed about this much of our combat capabilities.

He knew that Maki Zenin had just unleashed her true abilities, and that she indeed possessed near-Level 1 strength when she was at full power.

However, considering the card magic, Projection Magic, and Sun Breathing that Miyauchi Hiyage has not yet revealed, he is definitely at least a level one fighter in his normal state.

After using Unlimited Blade Works, relying on the priority of Reality Marble over Domain Expansion, it should still be able to deal with weaker Special-class spirits, such as those Special-class spirits that were easily defeated by Sukuna in the early stages of Jujutsu Kaisen.

"There's also the Sealing Technique that's been hidden all along. Its potential is also very high. Both Satoru Gojo and Sukuna are susceptible to sealing techniques," Miyauchi Hiyage pondered.

This kind of sparring is enough to know one's current strength.

There's no need for Maki Zenin to use her overwhelming physical skills to humiliate him; he's not a masochist.

After stating that he was no longer capable of sparring, Miyauchi Hiyage then feigned helplessness. "That Thunderclap and Flash was my full power, and I won't be able to use it again for a while. Let's end this sparring session here."

Chapter 230: Does the Miyauchi Hiyage possess extraordinary power?

That afternoon, the video of Miyauchi Hiyage Maki Zenin was already posted in the Chat Group.

Shinomiya Kaguya originally intended to host a grand banquet for Miyauchi Hiyage and Tohru this afternoon to welcome them back.

However, the sparring session in the afternoon still had a significant impact on them. After the match, Miyauchi Hiyage, having obtained higher access privileges, went home, citing that she was a bit tired from the sparring session.

Moreover, after learning that Miyauchi Hiyage and the others had returned, the angelic Shiina Mahiru had already taken the initiative to take Shiina Mashiro to his mansion to take care of Tohru and Miyauchi Kouka, who had just arrived.

Miyauchi Hiyage couldn't possibly let them work so hard all day preparing dinner for them, so he took Tohru to have a big meal with Shinomiya Kaguya.

Therefore, Shinomiya Kaguya could only postpone this meal until later.

Since Miyauchi Hiyage is already connected with the Jujutsu High, there won't be any problems for her to contact Miyauchi Hiyage in the future.

Therefore, after obtaining the access pass to the Jujutsu High and exchanging contact information with several people, Miyauchi Hiyage said that he would come back to accept the request when he had time and went straight home.

Shinomiya Kaguya also sent the video to the group in the evening.

Although Shinomiya Kaguya had previously posted many videos on Jujutsu High in the Chat Group, and with the help of several senior students, she had participated in several exorcism missions against low-level jutsu spirits and had seen some jutsu spirits.

But this was indeed the first time they had ever seen such a competition.

UMR: "Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? Is that Miyauchi Hiyage really someone who just completed his transcendent awakening? I saw the air around the sword distort when he swung it!"

Shinomiya Kaguya: "One of the holders of the second batch of Diary personally witnessed the extraordinary awakening of Miyauchi Hiyage, and afterwards, Gojo-sensei also confirmed Miyauchi Hiyage's abilities."

"Moreover, the sword techniques he used in the video were ones I had just taught him the day before yesterday. In fact, before he received these sword techniques the day before yesterday, he had never practiced swordsmanship at all. What he showed in the video was all that he had figured out on his own in the last two days."

This sentence immediately caused an even bigger stir in the group.

It's true that Shinomiya Kaguya did hold back some knowledge, but she still shared those Breathing Swordsmanship very comprehensively, including not only sword skills but also complete breathing methods.

As for Miyauchi Hiyage, he only practiced swordsmanship; the rest of his breathing rhythm was entirely adjusted by himself over the past two days based on the style of these swordsmanship techniques.

As for its power, it's already very evident in the video.

According to Panda, this is a sword aura that only appears after one has mastered swordsmanship. Yotsuya Miko even clearly saw the "special effect" of the wave with her own eyes.

When using the Water Breathing Form: Life Flow, the sword energy is directly condensed into a dragon shape.

Maki Zenin herself said after the sparring session that when she forcibly interrupted the flow of life, she almost dropped her weapon.

Even after Maki Zenin began to fight back, Miyauchi Hiyage's response was somewhat strained, but she still managed to hold on for several minutes.

The final, Thunderclap and Flash in the video was even extracted by Shinomiya Kaguya and made into a short video of only a few seconds long.

Even in the ultra-high-definition video recorded using Diary, the girls in the Chat Group couldn't clearly see Miyauchi Hiyage's movements at that moment, which were as fast as lightning.

All they saw was a flash of electricity, followed by a sharp clang of weapons clashing. Maki Zenin's naginata was nearly severed, and Miyauchi Hiyage's katana developed a large nick.

They kept slowing down the video until they used the Diary function to slow it down to 0.1 times the original speed, and only then were they able to see the entire process of the attack clearly.

If this were some seasoned superhuman, that would be one thing.

But this was something they had already Miyauchi Hiyage Hikage from the You Know Who's diary half a month ago.

Two weeks ago, Miyauchi Hiyage was just an ordinary person with unusually good luck. With the help of her sister, she got involved with several female protagonists and was then ridiculed by a You Know Who.

Those who had contact with Miyauchi Hiyage during that period, such as Shiina Mashiro and Kasumigaoka Utaha, can attest that besides being handsome and having a good brain, Miyauchi Hiyage's only problem was that he lived in the Vengeful Spirit garbage dump in Beika Town.

In just half a month, the other party has already grown to this level.

In Maki Zenin's words, even if we only consider what Miyauchi Hiyage has shown so far, he is more than qualified to be rated as a Level 2 Transcendent. However, apart from his swordsmanship and the glowing eyes he showed at the beginning, Miyauchi Hiyage has not demonstrated much ability.

"Although Gojo-sensei is usually quite unserious, since he said that Miyauchi Hiyage has potential no less than his own, then Miyauchi Hiyage's undisplayed abilities at least have the potential to be Special Grade. It wouldn't be surprising if he were judged to be Special Grade right from the start, just like that guy Yuta Okkotsu."

These were Maki Zenin words, and then she excitedly exchanged contact information with Miyauchi Hiyage, inviting him to spar again next time.

This was all before Maki Zenin knew that Miyauchi Hiyage had only practiced swordsmanship for two days, and Shinomiya Kaguya was too embarrassed to tell anyone about it in the end.

Shinomiya Kaguya: "Anyway, that's how it is. I don't know anything about Miyauchi Hiyage's abilities, but according to Maki-senpai's analysis, it might be related to swords. But I don't know what those eyes are for. I'll go find him and learn some Breathing Swordsmanship later."

As Shinomiya Kaguya mentioned that the strength displayed by Miyauchi Hiyage had firmly reached Level 2, and that his hidden abilities might even directly elevate him to Special Rank, the girls in the Chat Group started tagging Shiina Mashiro and Honma Meiko, wanting to see if they had anything else they were willing to share.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only five levels of superhumans: four, three, two, one, and special. The upper and lower limits of strength for each level are quite large.

Ordinary superhumans, even after a lifetime of effort, might only reach level two or three, which is also the most common level of superhumans in the Reverse Side World.

The next level up is the pillar of the Reverse Side World. Generally speaking, a team of two or three experienced level one superhumans can eliminate weaker special-grade anomalies.

Shinomiya Kaguya knew that Miyauchi Hiyage had not yet mastered the Sun Breathing. Once he mastered the strongest Breathing Technique, the Sun Breathing Swordsmanship, he could probably advance a level just by relying on his swordsmanship alone.

The more she sensed the power displayed by Miyauchi Hiyage, the more she wanted to know the full extent of Miyauchi Hiyage power.

Unfortunately, she and Miyauchi Hiyage were just ordinary friends, so it was impossible for her to know such secret things. She was too embarrassed to ask Miyauchi Hiyage about these things.

After all, even if she asked, Miyauchi Hiyage probably wouldn't tell him.

Then she was proven wrong.

Shiina Mashiro quickly posted in the group. "Hikage said that the abilities he awakened are quite varied, but they should be related to 'fate'. His usual good fortune, improved physical fitness, and those eyes are all manifestations of this ability."

Black Cat: "?"

Evil Eye: "?"

Kashiko Kasumi: "?"

After all, everyone was just making a fuss, who would have thought that Shiina Mashiro, this naive and innocent girl, would actually be so straightforward and answer every question?

Menma: "Eh, Mashiro, is it alright for you to just reveal Hikage's abilities like that?"

Although it wasn't explicitly stated that Miyauchi Hiyage could teleport using the power of fate, the word "fate" alone conveys a great deal.

Shiina Mashiro: "It's alright. I've already asked the Kage, and he said it's fine. His trump cards right now are Tohru and that sword. He and I are currently discussing whether we should take on a few low-level jobs together to practice."

Shinomiya Kaguya's expression became somewhat subtle.

Even though she knew that Shiina Mashiro had arrived first, seeing Miyauchi Hiyage's considerate and open-minded manner towards Mashiro only intensified the inexplicable emotions she felt.

Is it because Shiina Mashiro, this innocent girl, focused all her attention on Miyauchi Hiyage from the very beginning that Miyauchi Hiyage would also be so sincere towards her?

At least Miyauchi Hiyage never said anything to him about going on practice missions together in the future.

She adjusted her mindset, reminding herself that she hadn't fully gained Miyauchi Hiyage's trust yet, and that she could take it slowly in the future.

Meanwhile, at Chichibu Shrine, Honma Meiko was momentarily stunned when she saw Shiina Mashiro's "declaration" in the group chat.

Have the Japanese Kage and Shiina Mashiro already gotten along so well after knowing each other for only half a month?

Even the matter of Tohru and the Holy Sword, Miyauchi Hiyage told the other party without reservation?

That makes sense, since Tohru has already gone to Tokyo with Miyauchi Hiyage, so it's not surprising that Miyauchi Hiyage and Shiina Mashiro explained Tohru's origins.

I had originally planned to wait until I finished my training and had enough strength, then I could wait here for Miyauchi Hiyage to come back from summer vacation before meeting him.

But looking at it now, if she continues to train here, who knows how far the relationship between Miyauchi Hiyage and Shiina Mashiro will develop by summer vacation.

Honma Meiko, who had only met Miyauchi Hiyage Honma Meiko a few times, began to feel nervous.

She was already considering whether, after completing her current training, she should use her Reading Points to secretly go to Tokyo and meet with Miyauchi Hiyage.

Meanwhile, in the group Shiina Mashiro inadvertently revealed the "sword" incident again, and the girls in the group got excited once more.

UMR: "Mashiro, the ability 'fate' sounds too mysterious. You should hurry up and tell us what's going on with that sword!"

Kashiko Kasumi: "Could it be that Dragonslaying Holy Sword that pierced Tohru?"

As a novelist, Kashiko Kasumi has a strong ability to make connections when it comes to these things.

After seeing the You Know Who write Tohru's original story in his diary, I had already noticed the holy sword that the gods used to kill Tohru.

In the original work, Kobayashi pulled the holy sword from Tohru's body and saved Tohru, but the whereabouts of the holy sword were not mentioned.

She didn't know how Miyauchi Hiyage and Honma Meiko saved Tohru, but it was clear that the holy sword must have been pulled out by the two of them.

Perhaps that sword is currently in the hands of Miyauchi Hiyage?

Inside the villa, looking at the messages on Shiina Mashiro's phone, Miyauchi Hiyage wasn't surprised that Kasumigaoka Utaha had discovered them.

After all, he had discussed many novel settings with her during their conversations about the novel these past few days. A few days ago, when she suddenly asked him about things like "the Sword in the Stone," he knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha had guessed that the holy sword that almost killed Tohru might be in her hands.

So he used Shiina Mashiro's phone to send a nodding emoji, which was all he admitted to, leaving the rest to the interpretations of the group members.

For example, where is the Holy Sword currently hidden by Miyauchi Hiyage? Why is Miyauchi Hiyage's swordsmanship training so fast? Does Maki Zenin think that Miyauchi Hiyage's abilities are related to the sword, perhaps also due to the influence of the Holy Sword?

Anyway, let them fill in the blanks with their own imaginations. The more they imagine, the more they'll automatically cover up these details.

He did indeed acquire Unlimited Blade Works the moment he obtained the Holy Sword, and his swordsmanship talent also improved at that time.

However, as he acknowledged the Holy Sword and then explained "Destiny Magic," he overlooked the fact that swordsmanship could improve rapidly.

After these girls imagined it, even if he uses Unlimited Blade Works in the future, they will subconsciously think that it is because he obtained the Holy Sword that he was affected by it.

Similarly, as Miyauchi Hiyage responded using Shiina Mashiro's phone, the girls in the group reached a tacit understanding after a brief silence.

Having just completed his transcendent awakening, Miyauchi Hiyage might already possess the strength of a Special Grade solely through the power of that holy sword.

Or rather, it's a combat capability comparable to a top-tier fighter for a short period of time.

Add to that the seemingly powerful "fate" ability, and Miyauchi Hiyage probably really has reached the level of a special-grade power.

After having this thought in her mind, Shinomiya Kaguya became even more restless.

There are currently only three Rank 1 Jujutsu Society who are alive and have been officially recognized by the Jujutsu Society.
