Is Hikage Miyauchi Their Ancestor or Something?
How can money just keep multiplying if you leave it there?
Haruhi Suzumiya, who was participating in the filming for the first time, did not find it boring.
After all, by meticulously replicating the details of past murders at the crime scene, conducting psychological analysis from the perspectives of both the victim and the perpetrator, and incorporating some minor urban legends, Haruhi Suzumiya felt she could maintain her enthusiasm for a while longer.
At least for now, Haruhi Suzumiya feels there's no easier way to access those extraordinary things than staying in the Miyauchi Hiyage.
For some reason, she always felt that Shinomiya Kaguya looked at her with a slightly wary gaze.
However, Haruhi Suzumiya didn't care about these things. She only knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha was definitely the owner of the Diary, and Shiina Mashiro was most likely the owner as well.
She was unaware of the other first owners of the Diary.
Miyauchi Hiyage only briefly introduced Shinomiya Kaguya's investment in Asahigaoka to her, and she only regarded Shinomiya Kaguya as a financial backer.
Faced with Shinomiya Kaguya's subtle attitude, she simply assumed that the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Family might have some feelings for Miyauchi Hiyage.
Haruhi Suzumiya felt that this young lady should pay more attention to Shiina Mashiro.
Sometimes even she envied Shiina Mashiro for having such a boy taking such meticulous care of her.
"But why was the other person holding a knife at that time?"
Haruhi Suzumiya couldn't help but think this, but before she could ask, she was distracted by the Bandage Freak disguised as Miyauchi Hiyage, and now she couldn't find an opportunity to ask.
What bothered her even more was that, during their filming, a group of bodyguards from the Shinomiya Family, according to Miyauchi Hiyage, came to remove some unnecessary filming props.
It looks like a stand-in doll of a Bandage Freak, but it should be a female model. I don't know why Shinomiya Kaguya would prepare such a model.
It seemed that Miyauchi Hiyage also knew the blond man in the suit wearing sunglasses. After retrieving the model prop of the Bandage Freak, the two chatted for a while on the other side of the bridge before returning.
The two seem to have a pretty good relationship.
Haruhi Suzumiya felt there might be some secrets involved, but ultimately she couldn't figure out the truth.
But she wasn't in a hurry; there was plenty of time later.
On the other hand, Miyauchi Hiyage and Kento Nanami were indeed quite familiar with each other.
After all, Kento Nanami was ostensibly his mentor, and Miyauchi Hiyage also had a good impression of this reliable young man.
Originally, it should have been someone else who came tonight, but because of the presence of Miyauchi Hiyage, this matter ultimately fell to Kento Nanami.
The other party arrived in the shortest possible time.
If Miyauchi Hiyage were to choose a teacher between Satoru Gojo and Kento Nanami, he would indeed be more likely to choose the latter, even if Satoru Gojo Miyauchi Hiyage could take on ten people by himself.
However, the other party does have significant personality flaws, and often uses riddles to trick his own disciples.
Because of their ghoul connection, the two had only met once before, after the Golden Week holiday, where they exchanged information and abilities and reached an agreement to continue their cooperation.
However, Miyauchi Hiyage only briefly explained his special physique and the Destiny Power that allows him to be associated with almost anything.
Anyway, according to Kento Nanami, even Miyauchi Hiyage himself couldn't explain his own power. He only knew that Miyauchi Hiyage had far more potential than him and would definitely reach the Special Grade, but no one knew exactly how his abilities would be developed in the future.
However, there's nothing to hide about Kento Nanami's identity.
A senior level one Sorcerers who graduated from Jujutsu High, he can get along well in any circle with his three-seven split Innate Technique.
After learning about Miyauchi Hiyage's shortcomings in physical combat, he took the initiative to teach Miyauchi Hiyage some physical combat techniques and even gave Miyauchi Hiyage a book of his own experience in practicing physical combat.
After all, the existence of the Ratio Technique meant that he had to engage in close combat, and since he was unwilling to sign a contract with the Shinkage Style to learn the Simple Domain, he naturally had no choice but to study physical techniques on his own.
In terms of equipment and physical skills, Kento Nanami is much more experienced than Maki Zenin.
If he were to fight Kamishiro Rize, he would probably only need a brief exchange before determining Kamishiro Rize level and then defeating her with the Ratio Technique.
Even when facing ordinary special-grade cursed spirits, even if he cannot kill them alone, he can still easily disengage from the battle. If you really want to talk about it, he can be considered a quasi-special-grade Sorcerers.
This is pretty much the limit for Kento Nanami. Unless the effect of his Innate Technique can be further improved, turning it from a weakness critical strike into true damage, or mastering the Domain Expansion and Reverse Cursed Technique, he will never even come close to the top tier in his lifetime.
It can only be said that Kento Nanami really suffered from the limitations of the character design, and died young, thus missing out on the benefits of increased combat power.
Suguru Geto and Yuta Okkotsu had an advantage in this regard. When they appeared and were set as Special Class, Jujutsu Kaisen did not yet have the Domain Expansion and flip technique settings.
After the Domain Expansion and Reverse Cursed Technique, Suguru Geto's schemes turned into a joke, but fortunately he died early and was killed by the Suguru Geto Songchen Ying. The Yuta Okkotsu Songchen Ying...
"Don't look at me with that all-knowing look," Kento Nanami Miyauchi Hiyage.
Today was another day of working overtime, and then I had to endure that disappointed look from Miyauchi Hiyage.
When they last met, Miyauchi Hiyage said that if he didn't work hard, he might not live past the end of the year, which has forced Kento Nanami to take time out for extra training recently.
After all, although hair loss is the biggest pain for middle-aged people, it is still more acceptable than sudden death.
Even if he has always lived and worked with a pessimistic attitude, it doesn't mean he would be willing to die so easily.
However, he doesn't yet know how he will die in the future, only knowing from Miyauchi Hiyage that there will definitely be some great upheavals in the Jujutsu Society in the second half of the year.
So these days, he has been studying those skills that he had tried in his early years, but had to give up because he made no progress for a long time.
Domain Expansion and Reverse Cursed Technique do indeed greatly enhance the power of Sorcerers.
However, it is indeed extremely difficult to master, and it also requires a very high level of Cursed Energy.
With his current Cursed Energy, mastering the Domain Expansion is just a pipe dream; he can only try to pursue the dream of Reverse Cursed Technique.
"Mr. Nanami, at your age, you should be striving for your dreams. If you don't push yourself, how will you know how much potential you have yet to realize? It's just a matter of Domain Expansion. If it doesn't work out, you can learn a Simple Domain. It's not shameful."
"I'm way past the age where I'd fight recklessly just because I hear some encouragement. And even if I die, I don't want to get involved with the Shinkage Style -ryu gang. But I'll find another way," Kento Nanami said, no longer talking about himself, but turning the topic to ghouls.
He had just checked, and that ghoul's vitality was much stronger than those ghouls that the Jujutsu High had recently arrested and killed; it had probably already reached level one.
However, the hundreds of sword marks and burn marks on the other party's body made it difficult for Kento Nanami to associate them with Miyauchi Hiyage, who had only awakened to transcendence half a month ago.
"I can accept the Breathing Technique and swordsmanship you learned from the Shinomiya Family, but what's with these flames? When did you gain the power of flames?"
He could tell that it was definitely not an ordinary flame.
How could ordinary flames possess such vigorous vitality? If they were to strike Vengeful Spirit, even a top-tier Vengeful Spirit would probably lose half its life!
He already knew that Miyauchi Hiyage's constitution was very special, and even vaguely suspected that the reason why Vengeful Spirit in Beika Town were cleared away by an unknown force in early April might have been caused by Miyauchi Hiyage's unconscious energy rampage in his sleep during his awakening period.
But that incident is in the past, and nothing similar has happened in Beika Town since. Miyauchi Hiyage's own constitution allows him to control it, and it's difficult for outsiders to see any problems. Therefore, Kento Nanami did not report the matter.
But this flame is completely different.
"Part of it was due to the power of the weapon, another part was due to my physique, and I also recently acquired a rather special martial arts style. Combining the three, by the time I realized it, I had already mastered it without even realizing it," Miyauchi Hiyage demonstrated his lighter-like abilities.
Of course, the action was very discreet, and since it was separated from the villa by a bridge, the people inside the villa certainly couldn't see it.
"This is already enough to make others envious. You can gain level one power in half a month, and this kind of flame is specifically designed to target Vengeful Spirit and cursed spirits. In a few more months, you'll be able to reach the special level. Since the Mystery Revival, I'm afraid Yuta Okkotsu can surpass you."
Yuta Okkotsu had just awakened his Cursed Energy when he used it to create a top-tier curse spirit. No matter what era he was in, he would be an incredibly talented genius.
However, it took the other party several months to master their power.
From this perspective, Miyauchi Hiyage's growth rate is not Yuta Okkotsu's.
Miyauchi Hiyage modestly shook his head. "It's not that exaggerated. My growth rate has slowed down a lot recently. The power of fire only has some special effects on Vengeful Spirit. Unless you can master the domain, it's not so easy to become a Special Grade."
"Even among the top-tier, there are a lot of people who haven't mastered their domains. If you can master your domain, then you'd be considered one of the most formidable fighters even among the top-tier."
Kento Nanami is very optimistic about Miyauchi Hiyage's future. The amount of Cursed Energy in his body can only be described as ordinary. Although Miyauchi Hiyage does not cultivate Cursed Energy, his talent and the overflowing life energy in his body mean that he will definitely be able to master the power of the domain in the future, and may even be able to rewrite the current corrupt pattern of the Jujutsu Society.
He didn't think about why Miyauchi Hiyage had grown so quickly, nor did he ask how the other party, who had awakened the Destiny Power, released such flames.
Because Miyauchi Hiyage was a genius he discovered, and as the one who brought him into this world, he was also considered a half-teacher to him, so naturally he had to be responsible for him.
He even reminded Miyauchi Hiyage to keep enough trump cards up his sleeve, and not to let anyone know about them, including himself.
"Yuta Okkotsu revealed his talent, and as a result, that guy Suguru Geto created the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) to try and seize Yuta Okkotsu's power. Even though he has gone abroad to avoid trouble, he is still being hunted down by other forces. If you want to live a peaceful life in the Front World and make videos, don't show too much of yourself in a short period of time, especially this flame. I don't even want to think how much people will envy you if you expose this power."
He added, "I'll handle this ghoul. If anyone asks, just say I took care of it. You only played a supporting role."
Miyauchi Hiyage heard Kento Nanami's words, he reminded him that this guy was a rare breed, and that studying those weak and useless ghouls might not be as useful as studying this guy for a week.
It has to be said that Kento Nanami was indeed ruthless. Before this, Miyauchi Hiyage had dealt with many Vengeful Spirit and cursed spirits by his own passive ability, and was even studying the nature of those wandering Vengeful Spirit in the basement of the mansion.
But he certainly had no experience in killing.
In his previous life, he was a law-abiding young man. In this life, before obtaining the Diary, Miyauchi Hiyage only wanted to live a peaceful life as a wealthy man. He was indeed not ready to have blood on his hands.
Even though Kamishiro Rize wasn't human, he knew how reckless this woman was in the original work, but at the last moment he still subconsciously held back and didn't kill her directly.
He was thinking that Kamishiro Rize was probably the rarest among the ghouls who crossed worlds to come to this world, so it would be a pity to kill her like this.
He also wanted to wait until Kamishiro Rize woke up to see if he could ask her or lure out the whereabouts of the person behind the scenes, although he knew the chances were slim.
Since the other party released Kamishiro Rize, they must have already cleaned up all other traces.
Having three trump cards hidden within him, he had already displayed strength close to level one during his last encounter with Maki Zenin, so revealing level one strength now wouldn't be a problem.
However, he hadn't noticed the problem with the flames. After all, he usually controlled the effects of the Pure Yang Body very well. A range of ten meters wasn't large; many level-two monks with vigorous blood and qi could achieve that level.
The other party was only able to resist low- to mid-level Vengeful Spirit, while Miyauchi Hiyage's constitution treated all Vengeful Spirit equally, and under normal circumstances, no one would notice anything wrong with him, only that his blood and energy were a little too vigorous.
Before he acquired the Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts and the Nichirin Blades, these flames were only good enough to light a fire, not as easily controlled as they are today.
This was the first time he had used it against an enemy; he had never actually tested its damage against Vengeful Spirit before.
Only after Kento Nanami reminded him did he realize that the flames should not be displayed casually.
Fortunately, the person who had been spying on him was a good four or five kilometers away and had already left completely. It was highly likely that they hadn't noticed the abnormality of his flames. Otherwise, Miyauchi Hiyage would have had to take Tohru to silence them overnight.
"You shouldn't use that power of flames again for a while, no, you should stop using it before you become a master of the special domain," Kento Nanami warned Miyauchi Hiyage.
Having lived in the Jujutsu Society for so many years, he knew very well the nature of the higher-ups in sorcery.
Miyauchi Hiyage hadn't fully joined the Jujutsu High after all. With a physique born to eliminate cursed spirits and Vengeful Spirit, no one knew what kind of unclean things those insects might do in secret once they found out.
Even a top-tier being might not be able to protect themselves; perhaps only by mastering the Domain Expansion will those insects become somewhat restrained.
Therefore, even if this ghoul's vitality is indeed far superior to other captured ghouls and has extremely high research value, when faced with a ghoul to be used for research and a "disciple" destined to become a special-grade ghoul in the future, Kento Nanami, as a reliable adult, did not hesitate to choose the latter.
Although he was unaware that his disciple had now mastered a power level higher than a domain, and had already begun to qualify to be seated at the table.
In short, as the origin of the Tokyo Ghoul story, Kamishiro Rize, possessing super-special-class potential, was first confronted by the thousand-year-old...
Once enough research data is obtained and it is determined that the other party's character is not worth further cultivation, they will be used as a testing ground for Miyauchi Hiyage.
After being easily dealt with by Miyauchi Hiyage, he finally met his end quietly on this rainy night, thanks to Kento Nanami's warning, and his body was never found.
However, she still made a contribution. Before she died, all the organs in her body that were not burned were taken out by Kento Nanami, and they will be squeezed dry of their last bit of value in the laboratory of the Jujutsu High.
Afterwards, Kento Nanami will also have to help deal with the location where he and Kamishiro Rize fought.
Fortunately, it's still drizzling, and Miyauchi Hiyage had already done some basic work, so as long as the traces are further removed, no one will notice it.
Of course, this matter also needs to be informed of Shinomiya Kaguya.
However, since Shinomiya Kaguya didn't see any battle scenes, the explanation is quite simple.
An ordinary ghoul fled into the deep mountains to avoid being hunted down in the Reverse Side World, but was easily defeated by him, who possessed first-level strength, wielding Nichirin Blades. He then handed the ghoul over to the Jujutsu High.
As for the Projection Magic, let the girl worry about it.
With his explosive power matching Tohru's in a short period of time, Miyauchi Hiyage Shinomiya Kaguya doubted him, then let her continue to doubt him.
Anyway, he couldn't possibly reveal his identity and cause himself trouble. Let's see what Shinomiya Kaguya can come up with next.
At least one night has passed, and Shinomiya Kaguya Miyauchi Hiyage has not seen Shinomiya Kaguya mention the Projection Technique she casually mentioned in the group chat. She only mentioned that today is Saturday and she is going to the Jujutsu High Maki Zenin and Yotsuya Miko to study the Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts.
Similarly, today is also the day that Miyauchi Hiyage and Maki Zenin had agreed upon.
The other party had called him more than ten times before, and this morning he started sending him emails from seven o'clock, urging him to come over for a sparring match. Miyauchi Hiyage still had to give the other party some face.
He also planned to go there to check out the library at the Jujutsu High. Even if there wasn't anything truly valuable, reading about the stories and anecdotes from the Reverse Side World would broaden his horizons.
If I could also visit the materials and weapons warehouses at the Jujutsu High and expand my Unlimited Blade Works inventory, the trip would be well worth it.
Chapter 248: Is Miyauchi Hiyage their ancestor?
"You've gotten even stronger!"
This was the first thing Maki Zenin said after seeing Miyauchi Hiyage.
This battle maniac immediately drew his naginata, intending to fight Miyauchi Hiyage for three hundred rounds.
In response, Miyauchi Hiyage used the Sun Breathing.
Ordinary Breathing Technique can utilize about 70% of the effects of Ripple Chi Kung, but with special adjustments, they can achieve about 80%.
Sun Breathing can achieve a utilization rate of 90%, and in some places, even regular Ripple Breathing may not be able to keep up with the output of Sun Breathing Sword Style, requiring some minor adjustments.
In any case Miyauchi Hiyage is not yet able to do what Tsugikuni Yoriichi Muzan of a second.
