This year's sister exchange meeting was turned into a battle royale for Hipper. After watching enough live broadcasts and live performances, she also wanted to play a few games herself.

Nishimiya Tao was defeated by Hipper, the wooden figurine was broken by Panda, and the worker was cursed and fell asleep by Thorn. A total of three people were disqualified from the competition. Everyone else was forced by Hipper to participate in the hunting activity.

They tried to get closer and interrupt her firing with hand-to-hand combat, but the closer they got, the more frequent the shots became, forcing them to run at full speed. The unreasonable range meant they couldn't predict how far they would have to run to avoid the bullets' trajectory.

The trajectory calculations were so incredibly precise, it made one's scalp tingle. The cursed energy used as ammunition seemed endless. And how did she manage to use a revolver like a machine gun? How did she achieve such unscientific marksmanship?

Before the game started, everyone was on two opposing fronts, but when facing the same enemy, they subtly and spontaneously cooperated.

"Hey! Itadori! What's wrong with your companion? When he goes crazy, he can't tell friend from foe!"

"Think of a solution! From the Tokyo school!"

"I have to fight, catch cursed spirits, and now I have to run a marathon battle royale. Leave me alone!"

No matter how we disperse, we will be forced to gather together by unscientific bullets. Ah... Is this true? The sister exchange meeting has become a marathon.

Yuji Itadori was grabbed by the clothes and shaken around by Aoi Todou, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"I have no idea! Kugisaki, Maki-senpai, you were the first ones to meet Hipper, right? What happened?"

He paused, a look of despair on his face.

"Didn't we agree that Hipper would be the support position?!"

Is this support? This is a funeral!

"Is this how you, Tokyo School... decide on your battle plan?" Kamo Kenji expressed his opinion subtly. Before the exchange meeting, they had obtained the information on all Tokyo School students. Aside from Yuji Itadori, the cursed vessel, the only one they needed to be wary of was the transfer student Gojo Satoru brought with him wherever he went—said to be above level one, barely reaching the threshold of special grade.

The information was still too delayed. Which sorcerer could advance from level one to special level in just over two months? Or was the information about Hipper being concealed?

Special-grade sorcerers are few and far between. Aside from Geto Suguru, who died last year, there are only three currently: the elusive Yuki Kujuku, Gojo Satoru from the Tokyo school, and Yuta Otsutsuki, who has been away on a long-term mission abroad and hasn't returned.

Now there's another Hipper. Tsk, is Tokyo some kind of Feng Shui treasure land? Four special-grade items keep appearing.

This woman is so strong.

The same level as Yuta Okkotsu, is this the difference between special grade and first grade?

There's a world of difference.

Using someone else's weapon would have forced them to flee, but they knew Mayi's weapon was just a revolver. They were powerless against her attack and could only desperately dodge her bullets.

The power of a weapon in the hands of different people can differ by 10% or 100%.

The trajectories of the bullets were clearly unavoidable, but she deliberately deviated from them. The bullets she fired made them flustered and uncoordinated, twisting their bodies like clowns and puppets on the stage, posing in the postures she expected to please her.

What a vicious and powerful woman! The people from Tokyo School are so lucky.

Because up to this point, only three people from the Kyoto school were injured. Of the five people from the Tokyo school plus Panda, only Maki had a small blood scab on her face.

They are really being treated differently. You can't even use them as shields. You can only keep running forward under the pursuit of bullets.

"It's almost time for those uninvited contestants to come out."

At the same time, all the talismans on the walls of the viewing room were burned in an instant.

"Red..."

Everyone's eyes turned to the charred wall, and they all knew that something was beyond their expectations.

"The crows were all attracted by Hipper and couldn't see any other scenes." Mingming held his forehead, speechless.

"Unregistered cursed energy will also cause the talisman to glow red when burning."

"Intruders?"

Gojo Satoru remembered a text message that Hipper sent him when they were at the meeting place - there were so many people, it was so lively.

I thought that Hipper was used to being alone and not used to this kind of occasion, so he secretly complained to him, but now it seems that is not the case.

She had already noticed that someone had invaded the school's barrier, and she was expecting it, implicitly hinting to him that something unexpected would happen today.

With Hipper around, accidents were everywhere. But at least with her in the field, there was no need to worry about deaths. Injuries were inevitable, and the probability of them being injured by Hipper was slightly higher than the probability of being killed by the enemy.

When they arrived near the venue, the tent had already been set up and Gojo Satoru was blocked outside.

"Oh, I see."

"It's a barrier that prevents Gojo Satoru from invading, but allows everyone else to enter and exit."

The cost balances out.

"Since Hipper is inside, there's no need to worry about anyone dying, but the invaders also have a curse caster. Diva, old man, go in and defeat the monsters."

…

What's with that tone, man?! Do you think a curse caster with this level of enchantment is just a small fry?! Don't underestimate me!

As soon as the two entered the barrier, they ran into the curse master who was waiting at the entrance. Rakuganji Yoshinobu stayed alone and ordered Angeki to bring back the unconscious Miwa Kasumi.

The passionate old man's performance began, and Ange went to look for the student who was sleeping soundly in the forest.

Isn’t it just dark and gloomy? Even the sky inside the barrier has changed color.

I hope Hipper can hold back that special-grade cursed spirit and buy them some more time. An Geji thought worriedly, feeling really uneasy.

Even though he was frightened by her pressure, he subconsciously still thought of her as a teenage girl. Now facing a special-grade cursed spirit alone, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The first person challenged by the uninvited contestant was Hipper.

Thick branches pushed their way across the ground in her path, trying to stop her from moving forward.

"Shouldn't you pick on the weak? You really want to eat all the beautiful women in one go, aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death?" With a backward jump away from the sunken ground, Hipper raised his arm and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the cursed spirit that appeared in his sight.

Do you know what it means to appear in the gunman's field of vision?

You're being watched.

You are within range.

You are being targeted.

"Are you here to get my autograph, or—are you here to cause trouble?"

The girl tilted her gun in a rather disdainful manner. Her face was so pretty that no matter what facial expressions she made, it remained intact. Even a look of disdain, hatred, and contempt was still beautiful.

God gave her a good face, and also gave her a smart mind and strength to match it.

As long as a woman has beauty, wisdom and strength, she will undoubtedly attract everyone's attention.

Even if they are not human, they at least have some aesthetic ability and an absolute sense of crisis.

“￥■＃×■”

Unrecorded language.

"Stop it, stupid human."

But the brain can understand what it is saying at the moment it speaks.

but……

An electric current far exceeding the diameter of the revolver barrel rushed out from the muzzle and shot straight towards the cursed spirit.

"Are you calling me stupid?"

Well, this is the first time I’ve had my IQ lowered by a cursed spirit.

After all, it is a special-grade cursed spirit, and it will not be solved in one encounter. At least it should be a round-based battle mode to be worthy of its arrogant belittlement.

"I just want to protect this planet. The forests, the sea, the sky, they're all crying out that they can't take it anymore."

"It's no longer possible to coexist with humans."

"They also know that there are humans who are kind to the planet, but how much can this kindness make up for it?"

The curse spirit's voice is extremely sad, and the emotions are well rendered. He is simply the image ambassador of the earth's environmental protection promotional film.

"They just want 'time'. As long as there is 'time', the planet will bloom with its blue glory again."

Now that the emotional groundwork has been laid, it’s time to get to the point of the speech.

"Without human 'time', die and become a sage!"

…

The human girl tilted her head and stared at the cursed spirit as if she was looking at a rare animal, feeling truly incredulous.

"It's not easy to be such a dedicated environmental worker."

She put away the gun, put it in her pocket, crossed her arms over her chest, and talked to the cursed spirit very naturally.

"It's tough, isn't it? Hiding in the human world. Global warming, ocean pollution, deforestation, species extinction, everything humans are doing to this planet is unbearable for you, right?"

Without eyes, it was impossible to tell what emotions it was feeling, but it was clear that the cursed spirit was surprised and surprised. It had never expected that its confession of humanity's numerous crimes would be recognized by humans.

This person is even a top-grade sorcerer.

Is there anyone among the sorcerers who thinks his ideas are correct?

"You know what? Species like us, outside the human race, even if we're enslaved by humans and have the ability to easily kill humans, are powerless against such a large group."

…

Outside the tribe...what does that mean?

The girl in front of me is undoubtedly a human being with flesh and blood.

In what capacity is she saying these things?

Something is wrong...

This human gave him a terrible feeling.

The girl spread her hands, with a helpless expression on her face, which was very sincere.

"The world is the master of the world, and humans are the guests. But the only thing they are good at is decoration."

How is destruction not considered a form of decoration?

Destroy forests and build steel forests.

Destroy the ocean and build a sea base.

Destroy the sky and build satellite equipment.

Destroy the universe and create new energy.

The world is in tatters, and humans are patching it up. Can we still leave it? After all, once humans die, new humans will come to take care of the environment.

"You should face reality sooner rather than later. There's no such thing as a song that's constantly exciting and mind-blowing, unless you're listening to an alarm clock."

Hipper raised his index finger and hooked it, a contemptuous gesture and a provocative tone.

"But how can you, such pathetic creatures, understand the pain of humans going to bed early?"

"You are the emotional garbage discarded by humans."

In an instant, the forest fell into a group of twisted and climbing huge branches. They stretched and climbed forward ferociously, wanting to strangle the human who had angered them, to nourish the trees with her flesh and blood, and to calm their anger.

"There's a fight going on over there, eh? Is there anyone else besides us? That girl with the katana isn't that strong, is she?"

From a distance, the fleeing group, who were resting during the journey, all looked in that direction. Yuji Itadori was a little puzzled, scratching his head, but couldn't think of any other student from Kyoto School who could fight with Hipper like this.

Except for the three people who lost their qualifications, the remaining students of Kyoto School have been running the marathon with them. Is there a hidden ace?

"No, this is an invasion."

Maki immediately came to a conclusion and called everyone to rush to the battlefield.

"Besides, being able to fight that lunatic back and forth means he must be at least a special-level person."

"I just don't know if it's a human or a cursed spirit."
