Quite a few other supernatural factions were still secretly sending assassins after Miyauchi Hiyage, hoping to prevent a second Satoru Gojo from emerging—or, more accurately, to seize his power.
Such things were hardly unusual in the Reverse Side World. Even during the decline of the supernatural, when everyone had been forced to unite against pressure from all sides, the first signs of its resurgence had prompted these factions to suppress other factions' prodigies. It was only natural for them to seek greater benefits in the new era.
Methods for stealing other people's cursed techniques were not particularly rare in the Reverse Side World, either.
Most so-called prodigies had grown up under precisely these conditions.
But unlike those prodigies, who either buckled under the pressure or rose to prominence by force, he was different.
So far, none of the other factions had ever seen Miyauchi Hiyage truly fight.
Almost every assassin they sent had failed because of some accident before they could even get close to him.
Only after repeated attempts did they finally confirm that anyone who intended to target Miyauchi Hiyage would apparently suffer all kinds of calamities when trying to approach him.
Even a top assassin whose strength was incredibly close to Special Grade could barely protect themselves against those calamities. Attacking Miyauchi Hiyage through disasters comparable to a Special Grade curse was simply impossible.
After failing the assignment, that assassin had even voluntarily sealed every memory of Miyauchi Hiyage and imposed a binding vow on themselves, forbidding them from harboring murderous intent toward him under any circumstances, all to escape the pursuing calamities.
Although Jujutsu Society had not granted Miyauchi Hiyage the title of Special Grade, this sixteen-year-old boy, who had never publicly displayed any other powers, was undoubtedly an even more dazzling prodigy than Yuta Okkottsu,
