The Shinomiya Family Will Always Stand by Hikage Miyauchi

That cursed spirit was discovered today at the Minegahara High School, where the other party studies, by the third-level Sorcerers in charge of Fujisawa during a patrol, and then reported to the Jujutsu High.

To be precise, it was Miyauchi Hiyage and the others who first confirmed Mai Sakurajima's existence, and then the level 3 Sorcerers only noticed the existence of the cursed spirit when he went to check the Spiritual Power fluctuations in the places where the other party often appeared after learning about this.

The cursed spirit's strength was temporarily rated as level two, a judgment made because the level three Sorcerers escaped unscathed after fighting the cursed spirit.

A level three sorcerer can barely fight a level two cursed spirit. If it were a level one sorcerer, that Sorcerers would probably be a corpse by now.

During the exorcism, the female sorceress received a temporary request on her way here to investigate whether there was a connection between the cursed spirit and Mai Sakurajima's rampage of abilities.

"Miss Mai Sakurajima, have you noticed anything unusual at school these past few days?"

Mai Sakurajima shook her head.

Not to mention that she has been almost forgotten by everyone these days, even before she was forgotten, she didn't have any friends at school to gossip with, so naturally she didn't know what was going on at school.

"Let's go take a look first. I'm getting a little tired of cleaning up the Vengeful Spirit near my house in Beika Town these days," Miyauchi Hiyage said, turning to look at Shinomiya Kaguya.

Under the watchful gaze of Miyauchi Hiyage Shinomiya Kaguya seemed to realize something and immediately took out the projection Nichirin Blades that she had been carrying with her recently from her car.

"You can use it as a weapon for now. It was originally meant to be yours anyway."

She knew that although Miyauchi Hiyage probably possessed some kind of storage and projection ability through the Holy Sword, he didn't seem to want to expose these abilities to others.

As a good woman who can read men's minds, Shinomiya Kaguya would certainly not let Miyauchi Hiyage fall into such an awkward situation.

Miyauchi Hiyage sincerely thanked Shinomiya Kaguya.

The female sorceress glanced at the Nichirin Blades that Shinomiya Kaguya had taken out, but said nothing more.

Although money is not as useful in the underworld as it is in the Reverse Side World, it is the foundation of life, and no one hates it.

Especially super-conglomerates like the Shinomiya Family.

Relying on the mysterious decline of the past century, those extraordinary families of yesteryear have reduced their influence in the Front World. In addition, the rapid development of the last hundred years has allowed a group of ordinary people to stand at the top of power, and even infiltrated many declining extraordinary families, allowing their descendants to gradually transform into extraordinary beings.

The Shinomiya Family is currently in the prelude to a transformation. Relying on its vast resources, it will remain an undeniable asset even in the Reverse Side World.

If Shinomiya Kaguya wanted, she could even use these resources to trade with others. Special Grade Cursed Tool might be a bit troublesome, but customizing a set of high-grade cursed tools specifically for herself would be no problem.

The Nichirin Blades that Shinomiya Kaguya commissioned was forged at a high cost by someone at the Jujutsu High.

Although it uses a limited amount of special metal that can conduct and absorb Cursed Energy, making it barely a mid-level cursed tool in the Jujutsu Society, it seems to be very compatible with the Breathing Technique that Shinomiya Kaguya is currently practicing. If its performance is brought to its limit, it can be considered a very good weapon.

However, as a Shinomiya Kaguya to fully utilize the sword's performance.

It's quite appropriate to hand this sword over to Miyauchi Hiyage now, since the power Miyauchi Hiyage has shown so far is almost entirely in swordsmanship, and many people believe that the extraordinary ability Miyauchi Hiyage has awakened may also be related to the power of the sword.

She was only a level 2 mage, and although her strength was above that of a level 2 spell spirit, she still had to concentrate fully on the battle.

With the help of this weapon, Miyauchi Hiyage should be able to reduce a lot of the pressure during the exorcism process.

Miyauchi Hiyage took the projected Nichirin Blades, drew it, and immediately entered Crimson Blade mode. He then casually swung it a couple of times before performing a sword flourish and sheathing it.

Weapons of this caliber are virtually indistinguishable from their original counterparts when projected, and even testing would reveal no problems.

After all, this power is manifested based on the Unlimited Blade Works, a Reality Marble that is infinitely close to a miracle.

Before its Mana is exhausted, this thing is seen by others as the real deal, and only its owner, Miyauchi Hiyage, can perceive the difference.

With his proficiency in Projection Magic, he could even reforge these projected weapons within Unlimited Blade Works, making them even more effective than the originals.

However, he doesn't have the energy to adjust these weapons right now, and this Nichirin Blades is sufficient for his needs.

And the moment Miyauchi Hiyage grasped this seemingly ordinary sword, the blade automatically turned crimson, and as Miyauchi Hiyage swung it, a burning sensation emanated from it.

Apart from Shinomiya Kaguya, whom they had met once before, the other girls couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

Seeing the power displayed by Miyauchi Hiyage at this moment, the female sorcerer felt much more at ease about the exorcism mission to come.

Chapter 258: The Shinomiya Family will always stand by Miyauchi Hiyage's side.

Mai Sakurajima's eyes lit up when she saw Miyauchi Hiyage's beautiful swordsmanship.

Although she is a superstar in the public eye, it wasn't until she developed health problems this month that she realized the world wasn't as simple as she had imagined.

The appearance of Miyauchi Hiyage and Yotsuya Miko, and their noticing of her presence, further proves this point.

However, after a day of interaction, apart from Miyauchi Hiyage's eyes that were said to be able to see through fate, she hadn't really seen any other extraordinary powers yet, only hearing about the Spiritual Power fluctuations emanating from Yotsuya Miko.

Even those low-level Vengeful Spirit that Yotsuya Miko mentioned could usually be seen everywhere, she didn't seem to see at all that afternoon.

Tonight, she finally saw something special in Miyauchi Hiyage again.

The blade turned a deep red the moment it was grasped, and the intense heat that could be felt even from several meters away—it was hard to tell whether it was the power of the blade or the power of Miyauchi Hiyage himself.

Although Mai Sakurajima felt somewhat unsure about those so-called cursed spirits.

But since the cursed spirit appeared at her high school, and judging from the female sorceress's attitude, it might really be related to the changes in her. She is now quite concerned about this matter and wants to find out the truth.

Moreover, Miyauchi Hiyage has the strength of a level one mage, and with this new level two female mage and the level three mage in charge of Fujisawa, there shouldn't be any danger, right?

Putting everything else aside, seeing Miyauchi Hiyage's casual swordplay and the unchanging expression on his face, Mai Sakurajima felt quite at ease.

It was precisely because of this sense of security that Miyauchi Hiyage gave her that she wanted Miyauchi Hiyage to continue staying by her side to help her recover.

Unfortunately, his own charm, which he was so proud of, did not hold much appeal for this handsome young man surrounded by beautiful women. The other party always maintained a calm, gentle, and distant demeanor.

As an actress, Mai Sakurajima could certainly see through Miyauchi Hiyage's disguise, but she couldn't find a way or reason to tear off Miyauchi Hiyage's mask.

However, she has only just met Miyauchi Hiyage, and her curiosity about Miyauchi Hiyage is still just a budding thing.

"Then let's go take a look. How is that sorcerer doing?" Miyauchi Hiyage asked the female sorcerer after sheathing his Nichirin Blades.

"It's not a big problem for now. That cursed spirit isn't very aggressive. The explanation over there is that it might have been attracted here because of a problem with the cursed object sealed at Minegahara High School. We'll have to go over and confirm the specifics," the female sorceress replied simply.

Fortunately, both the sorceress and Shinomiya Kaguya drove here, so it's convenient for them to get there now.

However, when it came time to get into the car, under Shinomiya Kaguya's arrangement, it was Miyauchi Hiyage and Shinomiya Kaguya who got into the Shinomiya Family's car, while the remaining three got into another car.

After the car started moving, Shinomiya Kaguya remained silent for a while. After a while, she whispered to Miyauchi Hiyage, "Although a level two cursed spirit is nothing to you, those cursed spirits sometimes have special spells. Since you don't have much experience, it's best to be careful."

In response to Shinomiya Kaguya's concern, Miyauchi Hiyage first nodded, then reached out and handed her a bracelet. "I know, I'm always quite cautious, you can wear this for now."

"I visited the Jujutsu High yesterday, and it was truly an eye-opening experience."

"It's a pity that the treasury of Jujutsu High is a bit conservative. There should be many good things and overly dangerous sorcery items that have been separately contained and sealed in other places. Otherwise, I estimate that it could have reached the special grade level yesterday."

The Playful Cloud, the Soul Release Blade, and the Black Rope (consumable) are three Special Grade Cursed Tool. In addition, there is Fushiguro Toji's lock of unknown level that can extend infinitely.

The design of this thing is that as long as the base of the chain cannot be observed, the chain can extend indefinitely. Combined with the power of Unlimited Blade Works, it can also be used to cosplay a low-budget version of the Chains of the King. Most level 1 cursed spirits would probably be unable to break free once bound.

However, Miyauchi Hiyage actually underestimated his own strength.

Although possessing Special Grade Cursed Tool does not necessarily equate to Superior Strength, Miyauchi Hiyage confirmed yesterday after spending half the night studying Unlimited Blade Works that even without Unlimited Blade Works or the Dragonslaying Holy Sword, he should possess Superior Strength simply by using Projection Magic normally.

After all, in this era of Mystery Revival, the power of nuclear bombs has not increased, and technological development on the surface is still progressing in a steady and methodical manner.

However, the strength of those extraordinary individuals has been increasing along with the concentration of Spiritual Power, and the threshold for the special grade can actually be said to have been decreasing all along.

Currently, achieving a top-tier rating is quite simple: either you possess certain attack methods that can cause massive area damage, or you have the means to retain and kill top-tier Vengeful Spirit.

Without using Unlimited Blade Works, Miyauchi Hiyage's regular damage output is indeed not very strong at the moment, and **locks are also difficult to restrain Superior Cursed Spirits.

If relying solely on the Sun Breathing Sword Style and the Nichirin Blades, Miyauchi Hiyage is currently only considered average among first-level swordsmen. To reach the level of Tsugikuni Yoriichi, his skill level and swordsmanship still have a lot of room for improvement.

If we only add the conventional uses of Projection Magic and rely on those various magical tools, it would only reach the level of a top-tier magician.

However, Projection Magic also has a trick up its sleeve: it causes the projected objects to explode, resulting in a visual collapse.

Previously, Miyauchi Hiyage didn't have much good stuff, so the power of the illusion collapse only created a small crater.

But things are different now. The Playful Cloud, the most powerful Special Grade Cursed Tool in close combat, is extremely compatible with the Fantasy Collapse.

Using it to trigger the Fantasy Collapse attack, you can see a small mushroom cloud. With this move, Miyauchi Hiyage has already firmly reached the Special Grade level.

However, when faced with a real situation, Miyauchi Hiyage would rather use Unlimited Blade Works to drag the person into Kuro and destroy the evidence than use Illusion Break outside.

Now, that gluttonous demon who has reincarnated for thousands of years in the Jujutsu Society under various identities has also recovered and is now powerful enough to control the world.

Don't be fooled by the fact that his IQ suddenly dropped in the later part of the story, he made a bunch of terrible mistakes, and his exit was in a way that can only be described as a top-notch clown.

But the Miyauchi Hiyage wouldn't actually capture the true nature of the scene.

At least in the first half of the plot, Kun Shang Strider used his trump card to plot and hire someone to steal and cross-examine.

She created the Special Grade Cursed Object, the Cursed Womb: Death Painting, under the identity of Noritoshi Kamo, and gave birth to the male protagonist, Yuji Itadori, under the identity of Kaori Itadori.

He orchestrated the resurrection of Ryomen Sukuna Satoru Gojo in the guise of Suguru Geto to Culling Game.

Until here, the man was like a snail, and the old man was like a ghost, and the ghost...

Now, the sparse and narrow-minded are still present, and the garden is connected to the wise and discerning. The gaps are wide and the scars are deep, and the people are like demons, their faces pale and sparse. They are like the sunflowers, their bodies gleaming with fear...

Therefore, before the Shibuya Incident, Miyauchi Hiyage himself did not intend to make too much of a fuss to continue attracting this guy's attention.

There are still about six months until the Shibuya Incident. Use this time to smoothly demonstrate your improved power to the outside world. Your Projection Magic should start with low-level spell tools and show the gradual improvement process.

However, even if he doesn't cause trouble, he has his Diary to help him.

Using the power of the Diary, he could consciously release information, allowing Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko to influence the actions of Satoru Gojo and even Megumi Fushiguro.

After all, in the manga, Yuji Itadori eating Sukuna's finger was an accident. If Yuji Itadori hadn't been prevented from becoming Sukuna's vessel at that point, it would have been a serious mistake.

Miyauchi Hiyage was already qualified to sit at the table but only wanted to play dumb to take advantage of others, pondered this.

Listening to Miyauchi Hiyage's words, Shinomiya Kaguya could tell that Miyauchi Hiyage had obviously gained a lot.

The difference between Level 1 and Special Level is huge. Some Sorcerers who can kill Special Level curse spirits on their own are only given the title of "Special Level 1" in the Jujutsu Society. Otherwise, there would be more than three Special Level Sorcerers in the Jujutsu Society.

Miyauchi Hiyage said he almost reached the Special Grade, which means he thinks he's already at the Special Grade 1 level?

What good things did he get from the treasury, including this bracelet?

Thinking this, Shinomiya Kaguya smiled as she took the unassuming black bracelet and put it on her wrist without hesitation, "So what level of cursed artifact is this?"

She thought it must be some kind of intermediate-level defensive artifact.

But Miyauchi Hiyage's answer still made her tremble involuntarily.

"It's a consumable item that's close to the top grade. According to the instructions, this thing can interfere with the accuracy of spells and has a decent defensive effect. It can even be effective in top-grade battles. However, it burns up a portion of it every time it's used. The string you have can probably be used up three times."

Shinomiya Kaguya originally thought that the Miyauchi Hiyage probably just projected some intermediate-level magical artifacts.

I never expected that the opponent's technique could even project and copy top-grade items?

The power of this Projection Technique is simply too great.

She carefully stroked the unassuming bracelet in her hand, suddenly feeling a lot more pressure on her. Then she looked at Miyauchi Hiyage sitting next to her with a strange expression.

"Don't look at me like that, like you want to eat me alive. This is just a free sample. If you want more after you've used it, it won't be free anymore."

Faced with Miyauchi Hiyage's serious teasing, Shinomiya Kaguya unhesitatingly took out a black card and handed it to Miyauchi Hiyage.

This attitude seemed to indicate that if this thing could be bought with money, Miyauchi Hiyage would buy as much as she could provide.

"It's too early now. Come find me again when you've truly established the Shinomiya Family's reputation in the Reverse Side World."

Miyauchi Hiyage's reaction was not unexpected, but it also confirmed that Miyauchi Hiyage's current abilities were indeed beyond what she could buy with money, which made her look at Miyauchi Hiyage with a hint of regret.

She didn't have the same luck as Honma Meiko, who planted a seed of fate with Miyauchi Hiyage when he was young, and whose fate naturally took root and sprouted as they grew up.

She also lacks the confidence of Shiina Mashiro, who went all in on Miyauchi Hiyage on their first meeting.

She investigated the encounter between Shiina Mashiro and Miyauchi Hiyage.

With Shiina Mahiru and Kasumigaoka Utaha Miyauchi Kouka as matchmakers, they met on the streets of Akihabara on the day Kasumigaoka Utaha held her autograph session.

In fact, because she was looking for the You Know Who that day, she spent a lot of time and effort afterward obtaining the surveillance footage of the entire Akihabara that day.

Recently, because of her interest in Miyauchi Hiyage's identity, she has witnessed Shiina Mashiro and Miyauchi Hiyage's first meeting more than once.

Although the footage on the monitor was not very clear and there was no sound.

However, Shinomiya Kaguya Shiina Mashiro still see that after Shiina Mashiro discovered Miyauchi Hiyage, her head remained facing the direction of Miyauchi Hiyage without changing direction.

After that, their interaction was unstoppable. After only a few minutes of chatting, Miyauchi Hiyage directly made a move on Shiina Mashiro.

Shinomiya Kaguya had watched those few seconds of action many times, but unfortunately the camera angle wasn't very good; she could only vaguely see the action and not the two people's specific expressions.

But Shinomiya Kaguya always had a feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

It seems that in just a few seconds, Miyauchi Hiyage's attitude towards Shiina Mashiro underwent a complete 180-degree change.

So what exactly did they say and do that day?

Shiina Mashiro did explain when asked by the girls in the group that she saw a radiance in Miyauchi Hiyage, so she chose Miyauchi Hiyage.
