An Incident in the Metaverse
As for the You Know Who's fondness for that Hogwarts thing, it's obvious to everyone.
After all, this was the first time the You Know Who had stated in his diary that if the girl named Ayase Saki was not interested in magic, he could exchange the rewards he had received for her.
Although opinions about the You Know Who in their group are mixed, they probably wouldn't offer anything worthless in exchange for such things; they would at least have to be someone of the same level of ability.
Furthermore, even if Ayase Saki's reward was merely a textbook for a first-year student at Hogwarts, the You Know Who's description clearly showed that her idealistic wizarding physique had an extremely high ceiling.
The basic spells, like the Mending Charm and levitation spells, are indeed quite useful. The only problem is that there aren't any spells for fighting enemies.
That so-called disarming spell seems to be a spell that was only learned in the second year.
Overall, this should be a reward that requires a lot of the user's own understanding and insight.
Shinomiya Kaguya's first thought was of Miyauchi Hiyage, a super genius and You Know Who figure who had never made a mistake since his debut.
Anyway, Shinomiya Kaguya felt that if Miyauchi Hiyage were to study those magics, he might actually be able to discover something.
So, she went to see Miyauchi Hiyage that very night, bringing with her the spells and magical principles that Ayase Saki had shared in the group chat, to see if he had any talent in this area.
Even if Shiina Mashiro may have already given this to Miyauchi Hiyage before, this attitude still needs to be shown.
If Miyauchi Hiyage can truly demonstrate this ability, then could she also learn some of the special magic that the other party has researched?
After all, the You Know Who also directly mentioned in his diary that there are differences between telekinetic abilities.
The You Know Who actually described the difference in power between Fubuki's and Tatsumaki's telekinesis as being equivalent to the difference between an ordinary level one mages and Satoru Gojo.
Even if she didn't know how powerful Tatsumaki and Fubuki were, the moment the metaphor of the You Know Who came up, she could understand the difference in strength between the two sisters.
Even last night, after the You Know Who's diary was published, she received several private messages from girls comforting her and telling her not to take the You Know Who's words too seriously.
This made her start to doubt her own abilities.
Fortunately, the Senzu Bean she drew in her second lottery was also quite good. Although it didn't significantly improve her own abilities, the Senzu Bean's restorative properties could provide her with greater assistance in other areas, including the favors she received from Miyauchi Hiyage and Tohru. This somewhat comforted her.
After a night of calm reflection, Shinomiya Kaguya rekindled her desire for power.
Fubuki's telekinetic abilities are certainly not weak, and they are very convenient to use in daily life, but in terms of combat, it seems that this is where its limit is.
If you want to gain power of at least Special Grade in the future, you can't place all your hopes on telekinesis.
"So, Kage, have you figured out anything about this magic system?"
Shinomiya Kaguya patiently waited for Miyauchi Hiyage to finish reading the principles of magic before asking Miyauchi Hiyage a question.
Miyauchi Hiyage had indeed seen these things before.
Furthermore, based on his own understanding of Harry Potter, he was able to apply what he learned to other situations and realize how to do many things.
In addition, he had already gained several abilities related to the Harry Potter universe as a reward from the Diary, so he had some wizarding talent.
However, in the Harry Potter universe, Wand are extremely important for beginners in the early stages. Most wizards, even many Auror, are no different from ordinary people after losing their Wand and cannot use any magic at all.
Even if he could use his projection ability to project Wand, it wouldn't be the most suitable Wand for him. He still needed to research and develop the most suitable Wand for himself.
Fortunately, Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage was not the kind of person who could only rely on reward items. Even after obtaining the cheat code of the Diary, he never relaxed his research on these extraordinary powers.
He had completely analyzed the previous Camera Obscura, and its effect on Vengeful Spirit was so great that even Vengeful Spirit below level one dared not be hit by it.
Secondly, he has also figured out some ways to navigate the path of data-driven ghosts, but the subsequent consciousness transfer and the influence of some extraordinary powers have not yet been completed.
After Tohru came to this world, although Miyauchi Hiyage was always getting the short end of the stick from Tohru, Miyauchi Hiyage also tried to analyze Tohru's fighting style and how they used their powers every time they fought.
These things broadened Miyauchi Hiyage's horizons considerably. Since many problems could not be solved within the original worldview, he used other similar powers to find new solutions.
Therefore, Miyauchi Hiyage quickly used his knowledge of the magic used by human wizards on Tohru's side, as well as his current magical skills, to conduct some basic research on the wizarding power at Hogwarts.
"Mashiro showed it to me before. I studied it and found that the power of these wizards is similar to that of many extraordinary systems, all originating from their bloodline."
"Sorcerers, Magicians, priestesses, Onmyoji... In fact, these powers all basically come from bloodlines. Even if an ordinary person suddenly awakens Innate Technique or Magic Circuit, it is ultimately because their ancestors inherited this bloodline."
Miyauchi Hiyage stroked his chin and offered his analysis. "Considering the current trend of the Mystery Revival, I feel that at some point in history, the mystery of this world was in a state of extreme activity similar to ours now, and the humans born in that era awakened all sorts of extraordinary powers as a result."
"Then, in order to pass on this power, those people gradually adjusted the extraordinary power they acquired, which eventually evolved into the extraordinary system we have today."
Shinomiya Kaguya nodded.
Although she felt this might not be entirely true, the origins of these extraordinary forces should be quite similar.
She is currently unaware that the history of this world has been invaded by other worlds multiple times without anyone noticing, causing the truth of this world's history to be completely distorted.
Even dragons like Lucoa and Tohru, who visited Earth thousands of years ago, can no longer guarantee that the Earth they visited back then is the same Earth we see today.
"So, if we don't have that wizard's bloodline, we can't control this power?"
Miyauchi Hiyage shook his head. "While that's theoretically correct, it's only true if the world only has one supernatural system: wizards."
"Just like you may not have the bloodline of Sorcerers and cannot awaken the Innate Technique, but that does not prevent you from cultivating Cursed Energy now."
"After all, the world is not static, and those extraordinary forces will change in the process of contacting other forces over the past few thousand years."
"It's like how the current methods of cultivating Cursed Energy are improved from the cultivation methods of Onmyoji and Shinto. These powers can even be transformed into each other."
"While the power of wizards is quite special, and while everyone's supernatural powers are rather idealistic, wizards are even more superior in this regard. Their spells and Mana rely heavily on the caster's personal will, seemingly manipulating the ether or mana in the air directly with their own will."
"But in the end, the wizarding power system is not so special that it is a completely independent supernatural system. After all, you should have sensed some of the power of will in that Impression Space, and there are also supernatural beings who can directly manipulate atmospheric ether."
"So as long as we try more, we can still use other methods to release those spells."
With that, Miyauchi Hiyage demonstrated a levitation spell based on the magic system of the Tohru world.
With the gestures in place, Miyauchi Hiyage chanted the incantation, and then the chair in front of him began to float up, swaying gently.
It wasn't very stable and didn't last long, but it was indeed successfully released.
"Of course, this method is quite troublesome and will consume a lot of unnecessary Mana and energy. It would probably take a lot of effort to completely reverse the wizard's power system, but if you just want to borrow the power of these spells, there is no problem."
As Miyauchi Hiyage said this, he shook his head at Shinomiya Kaguya: "But as I said, these spells that rely on willpower are too conceptual and abstract to be released. Even I can't fully explain to you how I did it in words. At most, I can only give you a general explanation of how Mana works according to the principles of magic."
Chapter 305: Changes in the Impression Space
Because Shinomiya Kaguya had not received any corresponding rewards before, unlike Miyauchi Hiyage who had already received the Undetectable Extension Charm and the Name Curse, which naturally came with some wizarding abilities.
Even Miyauchi Hiyage struggles to use magic without the aid of Wand, let alone Shinomiya Kaguya.
Moreover, even without the power of a wizard, Miyauchi Hiyage could still use some clever tricks to bypass the Wand as a spellcasting tool and release spells, but Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't even find that initial feeling without the Wand.
"Let me take a look at the Wand's structure. I'll analyze it and project it. It might not be the most suitable Wand for you, but it should be enough to help you get the feel for casting spells. We can then adjust the properties of the projected Wand later."
Seeing that Shinomiya Kaguya had racked her brains but still couldn't find any inspiration, Miyauchi Hiyage subtly suggested that Shinomiya Kaguya should give up for now.
Even if Shinomiya Kaguya obtains the bloodline of a wizard now, she won't see a significant improvement in the short term.
Moreover, in terms of expressiveness, the Wizarding universe doesn't really have any particularly grand scenes. The most impressive ones are probably the Dumbledore and the Fiendfyre Curse used by Grindelwald in Paris.
Besides that, the most famous curse in Harry Potter is the Avada Kedavra, which can only kill one person at a time but is known as the most vicious curse.
But that world also has many things that sound even more magical to ordinary people.
The Sorcerer's Stone grants immortality, the Time-Turner can reverse time, the Undetectable Extension Charm can easily expand space, and the Marauder's Map shows the movements of almost everyone at Hogwarts.
The Horcrux, which split the soul to grant immortality, and the Deathly Hallows, which are said to conquer death, are equally mysterious.
Not to mention all sorts of magical creatures.
If we're going to talk about it, Miyauchi Hiyage's Name Curse, which can sense the location of everyone who mentions his name, is a very ancient ritual spell.
Perhaps in terms of sheer power, those wizards are nothing compared to Magicians and Sorcerers, but a significant portion of their spells do involve power related to rules. Not to mention Miyauchi Hiyage, even Tohru probably values this rather idealistic power.
In short, even with the hands-on guidance of Miyauchi Hiyage Shinomiya Kaguya, Kaguya Shinomiya still couldn't grasp that feeling and could only admit that her talent had only reached this point.
Miyauchi Hiyage's talent is truly enviable.
Perhaps the other party's family background is not as good as that of the Shinomiya Family at present, but if the other party really wants to go into business, then the ability to bring good luck to the people around him alone is enough for him to create a legendary business empire.
Not to mention that the other party has also shown remarkable talent in other extraordinary powers.
It is precisely for this reason that Shinomiya Kaguya increasingly desires to obtain Miyauchi Hiyage.
"The Wand is easy to handle," Shinomiya Kaguya said, concealing her true thoughts and changing the subject to the matter of going to Morioh.
She first mentioned that the abalone produced in Morioh was very good, and then she mentioned that the number and probability of people with supernatural awakening in Morioh seemed to be much higher than in other places.
"I'm currently at level one in the Jujutsu High, though it might be a bit overrated, but I can still lead a team to do some quests on my own. So I'm planning to go to Sendai next month. I expect a lot of my female friends will be going with me, and the girl who got the Wand should be going too. You shouldn't have any problem borrowing her Wand."
Shinomiya Kaguya's strength is indeed at level one, but for the high-ranking members of the Jujutsu hierarchy, who are always strict in their rating system, this level one strength assessment is mainly due to the Shinomiya Family's status in the Front World.
Strictly speaking, Shinomiya Kaguya's current Tier 1 rating is more like a near Tier 1 rating.
His telekinetic abilities are certainly not weak; he definitely possesses level one strength.
However, Shinomiya Kaguya had little combat experience and had never carried out any missions.
Although the Shinomiya Conglomerate was only known in the Front World before, after the Mystery Revival and realizing the existence of superhumans, the Shinomiya Conglomerate has also made some arrangements in the Reverse Side World.
Although they have only recruited some level two or three superhumans so far, together they have formed a small force that can hold some sway in the Reverse Side World.
To lead or rather completely subdue these extraordinary individuals, Shinomiya Kaguya naturally needed to gain some fame and prestige in the Reverse Side World.
Everyone knows that Shinomiya Kaguya wouldn't take on particularly dangerous assignments, Jujutsu High wouldn't intentionally give those assignments to Shinomiya Kaguya.
Assign Shinomiya Kaguya more commissions of level 1 and below, and find a few senior level 1 Sorcerers to take Shinomiya Kaguya around to broaden her horizons and increase her experience. As a qualified level 1 superhuman, being able to face level 2 and 3 superhumans without showing fear is enough.
Miyauchi Hiyage's situation is normal. Everyone knows that Miyauchi Hiyage doesn't even need to use his awakened abilities; he's already at level one just by relying on his physical skills and swordsmanship.
However, he only accepted three or five low-level commissions at the Jujutsu High. The Jujutsu High never considered applying for a strength certification for Miyauchi Hiyage. So far, Miyauchi Hiyage has only obtained a level three superhuman strength certification from the Jujutsu High.
After all, Miyauchi Hiyage's greatest achievement at the Jujutsu High was defeating Maki Zenin, who was only a level four sorcerer at the time, and then defeating an enemy at the level of a level two cursed spirit in Kamakura, successfully retrieving a level one cursed item.
According to the style of the higher-ups in the sorcery world, Miyauchi Hiyage only be granted a level two rating if he could consistently defeat level two sorcery spirits and hold his own against level one sorcery spirits in formal commissions.
Of course, ultimately, strength depends on oneself. Official strength recognition simply helps to publicize your strength and slightly increase the treatment of extraordinary individuals.
As far as Jujutsu High, neither Masamichi Yaga nor Satoru Gojo need to expose the potential rising star, Miyauchi Hiyage, too early.
Similarly, on the villain's side, the feast was a spectacle, a feast for the eyes and ears, a feast for the soul, a feast for the eyes and ears...
Let's return to Shinomiya Kaguya's side.
Shinomiya Kaguya certainly wasn't willing to be a mere figurehead; she genuinely wanted to achieve something in the Reverse Side World for everyone to see.
That's why, after realizing the limits of telekinesis, she became so enthusiastic about the Impression Space and the Alien Meteorite in Morioh that could awaken a Stand.
She invited Miyauchi Hiyage in this way, and Miyauchi Hiyage did not refuse.
He's going to Fuyuki City in the next few days.
If Fuyuki City is indeed the set of Prisma Illya, then it should be nearing the end of the first phase of collecting Heroic Spirit Card.
After they finish collecting the cards, the story will remain in the daily routine phase for a considerable period until summer vacation. At most, a Kuro named Kuro with the Red Archer Spirit Origin will appear to create some classic yuri scenes that give the audience some fan service. This will not conflict with his trip to Morioh in June.
There happens to be a good show to watch in Sendai at that time, so I can go and watch it.
Let's see what choice the invincible Satoru Gojo will make after receiving his "prophecy".
If Miyauchi Hiyage had previously considered nipping Sukuna in the bud, now that he had the power, he was no longer so concerned about Sukuna's resurrection.
If no one mourns Satoru Gojo for even a moment, the next person to arrive at the battlefield will become Miyauchi Hiyage.
Seeing Miyauchi Hiyage, Shinomiya Kaguya breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"In that case, I'll go and make the arrangements for what follows."
Since Miyauchi Hiyage has no objections, it seems there shouldn't be any problems in Morioh, so we can confidently gather the team in the group chat.
There are more than 20 girls in the group. Apart from a few who are in Kansai and can't come over, most of the remaining 20 or so girls are probably willing to go to Morioh for a few days on the weekend. Let's see how many of them can successfully awaken their Stands.
The reason for choosing June is that during this period, everyone in Tokyo should first go to the Impression Space to try to awaken their Persona.
As a power that is certified by the You Know Who as being similar in form to a Stand, if one can awaken Persona in the Impression Space first, then the chances of successfully awakening a Stand might be greater.
Based on the part about the Impression Space mentioned in the You Know Who's diary yesterday, many girls in the group are also speculating that since all kinds of emotions and bonds can stimulate the Persona to complete its evolution, then facing one's own shadow in the Impression Space should also have a good chance of using this emotion to complete the awakening of the Persona, or at least provide some help for the awakening.
Now, Chizuru Ichinose is acting as the bold experimenter to verify this hypothesis.
According to their current exploration progress, although they are still mostly lingering in the initial position, they are still making some progress. It is estimated that they will encounter the shadow of Chizuru Ichinose day or two.
She's still here because Katsura Kotonoha received the phone at Miyauchi Hiyage's house and went to the Impression Space. So naturally, she has to stay here and wait for Katsura Kotonoha and the others to return from exploring the Impression Space.
Shinomiya Kaguya was thinking this, she then saw a peculiar expression appear on Miyauchi Hiyage's face.
"What's wrong?"
Miyauchi Hiyage closed his eyes, then reached out and gently rubbed the sides of his forehead.
He certainly couldn't say that he felt someone calling his name, and that the place where the call was made was not far from him, but the sensation was in a rather subtle area.
