Chapter 84 Chapter 84 First Update

"Didn't the game go well today?"

Since returning to the villa in the afternoon, and throughout the dinner, Saionji Tamane has been silent, so quiet that it is almost abnormal. Atobe Keigo saw all of this, and waited until the dinner was over and the other selected players left to move around freely, then he pretended to ask casually.

Yuyin was startled by the question and shook her head. "No, the competition went smoothly," she couldn't help but sigh softly. "I actually wish it was something related to the competition; that would be easier to resolve."

The matter of that "Geto Sutsuryu" is of great importance, and Yuon dare not take it lightly. Moreover, she discovered that the other party's plot might be related to Yuji Itadori, who was possessed by Ryomen Sukuna. In addition, Geto Sutsuryu and Gojo Satoru are close friends. She intuitively felt that there must be an unspeakable conspiracy. For this reason, she specially found the director and Fushimi to discuss for a while, and asked them to notify her immediately if they had any news about that "Geto Sutsuryu".

To this end, she hovered over Scepter 4 for a long time throughout the afternoon, and only returned to the Karuizawa villa using the teleportation array before dusk.

"Is it about work?"

Atobe Keigo blinked. If it wasn't about the archery competition, then it must be related to the spiritual world. Thinking of the danger of facing those monsters, he hurriedly expressed his concern.

"Yes, but don't worry, Keigo. I can handle it." Yuyin didn't want to worry Atobe, but there was no need to lie outright. Right now, the situation wasn't that dire. She changed the subject, "I wasn't here today. How was the training? How did Yueren and the others perform? Is Yueren still that afraid of ghosts?"

"As for them," Atobe Keigo revealed a helpless yet doting expression when mentioning his teammates, "they've adapted a lot better today. They're no longer so startled by those... things, and are now fully focused on training."

It was the same for him. After the repeated eye-irritation over the past two days, Keigo Atobe felt that he finally had some tolerance for those little monsters.

Talking about tennis, Keigo Atobe said excitedly, "And the training is really effective. Last afternoon, I organized a small team competition, and they've really improved a lot. The training is outstanding, and it's really more efficient than just mechanical exercises in the gym."

"As long as it's working," she said. She had only arranged simple training for the Chang family disciples before, and being a tennis club manager was a first for her, so she wasn't sure how effective it would be. Hearing what Atobe said, Yuyin breathed a sigh of relief. "Maybe it's because this is comprehensive training, so they're getting a good workout in all aspects. From now on, we just need to make slight adjustments to the training plan based on their progress and stick with it."

Atobe Keigo nodded and said, "I have decided that, apart from the forest school activities next week, the time before the national competition will be used for training."

When Yuyin heard that Atobe didn't plan to travel around during the holidays like in previous years, she felt a little relieved for his safety. She still reminded him, "The Kyudo Club's competition will be over soon. If anything happens to you, Keigo, use the talisman to notify me immediately." Thinking of the special methods of some monsters or cursed spirits, she added, "If the talisman fails unexpectedly, you can ask those little monsters for help and have them notify me."

When she thought of the tragic incident of the spontaneous combustion in the Shinjuku restaurant and the highly intelligent cursed spirits mentioned by Gojo Satoru, Yuyin couldn't help but become more worried about the safety of the group of tennis boys including Atobe.

When Keigo Atobe heard Tamane repeatedly emphasize safety issues, he couldn't help but secretly guess what happened to her in Tokyo today. If Tamane hadn't been stimulated in some way, she wouldn't have emphasized this repeatedly.

He suppressed his suspicions and assured him, "Don't worry, I've always kept those talismans with me. Besides, even if I encounter those monsters, I'm not someone who can't fight back. I'll definitely be able to hold on until you return."

Yuyin couldn't help but laugh at him: "That's right, don't you see who you are? You are our Hyotei Emperor, Atobe Keigo."

Joking aside, Yuyin was not exaggerating. Based on the current situation she observed, as long as Atobe and the others did not have the misfortune of encountering special-grade cursed spirits and big monsters with ill intentions towards people, with the abilities of Atobe and the other members of the tennis club, it would not be a big problem for them to calmly deal with cursed spirits below special grade and ordinary monsters.

Seeing her smile, Atobe Keigo's initial worry since returning in the afternoon faded a lot, and he became more cheerful. He said proudly, "Just go to the competition without worry. I promise that with me here, there will be no accidents here."

"Congratulations to Yuyin for winning the semifinals of the National Competition!"

The three glasses collided together, making a crisp sound.

Yuyin looked at her two friends with a smile, holding a drink and said, "Thank you~"

Since there was a competition the next day, the Kyudo Club did not hold a formal celebration for their victory in the semi-finals, so the three people sitting in the fast food restaurant were Tamane, Asami Saya and the long-lost Kagome Higurashi.

Kagome took a sip of her drink, picked up a hamburger and began to chew on it. Her eyes accidentally fell on the various pedestrians outside the window. Seeing the increasing number of cursed spirits, she couldn't help but complain softly: "...Why do I feel like I see more cursed spirits than the last time I came back?"

After several months of beatings in the Warring States Period, Kagome Higurashi has become more resolute. At least now when she goes out and sees strange-looking cursed spirits, she can not only pass by them without changing her expression as if they don't exist, but she can even step on them directly and destroy them without any hesitation.

Her use of spiritual power became more and more mature. In Yuyin's opinion, Kagome had become a shrine maiden with very skilled and experienced techniques.

"That's right," Asami Saya, who can see supernatural creatures due to her youkai bloodline, nodded repeatedly in agreement. "I used to travel a lot for filming and collecting materials, but now I hardly dare to go out. If Yuyin hadn't taught me some self-protection skills, I wouldn't even dare to leave the house."

People who cannot see monsters and cursed spirits will not understand their fear. This fear comes not only from vision, but also from psychological pressure. It is not only about themselves, but also from unconscious worry about those relatives and friends who are unaware of the situation.

Kagome Higurashi chewed a hamburger and agreed with Saya Asami. She herself was not afraid of those things. She had even witnessed mass graves full of corpses in the Warring States Period. The only thing she was worried about was the safety of her mother, grandfather and brother in this world. For this reason, she had consulted Yuyin, Grandma Kaede, the wizard Miroku and others, and made some self-defense talismans for her relatives to use, so that they would not be in danger and unable to resist when she was away.

Originally, for Kagome, modern society was a peaceful haven after her stressful life in the Warring States Period. But now this haven is no longer safe. Every time she goes home, she is unwilling to go out unless she goes to school. She only comes to such crowded places when she wants to keep in touch with Tamane.

Listening to the two people's complaints, Yuyin looked out the window. Sometimes, maybe ignorance is a kind of happiness, just like those pedestrians on the road who are unaware of the existence of cursed spirits. They don't have to worry or be afraid, but can instead smile happily.

"You don't have to worry too much," Yuyin said soothingly, hearing the pessimistic words of her two friends, "Someone will deal with the rampant curse spirits, and they won't continue to be so arrogant."

"Really?"

Kagome Higurashi and Saya Asami were a little surprised when they heard this for the first time, and kept asking Tamane for confirmation.

"Of course," Yuyin nodded in affirmation while chewing on a chicken wing, "someone is already taking action."

Of course, what Gyokuin was referring to was not the group of high-ranking officials of the Jujutsu Association who were just sitting there doing nothing, but Scepter 4 under the leadership of Reiji Munakata.

After the Dresden Slate was shattered, the number of people with superpowers like those outsiders has decreased significantly. Most of the people with superpowers who need to be managed and handled by Scepter 4 are those who appeared in the past. In other words, the workload of Scepter 4's original duties has actually been reduced.

People like the head of the room, Reisi Soukata, who are responsible and concerned about social order, will naturally not relax just because their original duties are reduced. Instead, they will immediately pay close attention to new social problems. The biggest threat to the entire society at present is naturally the cursed spirits. Therefore, Scepter4 has continued to pay attention to the problems that should have been solved by the Jujutsu Association.

This is why, as soon as Reiji Munakata discovered that the Jujutsu Association was slow and inefficient, he immediately sought out Tamane, who had a better understanding of curse spirits, to discuss the matter. They were trying to solve the problem without relying on external forces, but using the power of Scepter4 itself, and Tamane did come up with a solution yesterday.

When it comes to dealing with cursed spirits, the Jujutsu Association's advantage lies in its millennia of accumulation and precise targeting of curses. Scepter 4 can catch up with the former through acquired training, and after receiving the direction given by Yuyin yesterday, Munakata Reiji has already set out to find the Silver King Adolf K. Weizmann, hoping to use his research capabilities and the power of the Non-Tokiin Institute under his command to complete a large-scale device capable of detecting and warning of cursed power.

Yuyin considered the Silver King's abilities and concluded that the director's idea was highly feasible. Perhaps by the time the alarm system was invented, the information from the Jujutsu Association wouldn't have arrived yet. Once Scepter 4 had a warning device capable of capturing cursed energy, its field fencing team could quickly arrive at the scene and maintain order.

Yuyin had already seen Gojo Satoru's dissatisfaction with the top management of the Jujutsu Association, but Gojo had not taken any action against the top management for so many years. It was not because he was incapable of dealing with that group of top management, but that dealing with them roughly would not solve all the problems. Moreover, how to maintain the normal operation of such a huge organization of Jujutsu sorcerers after dealing with them was also an important factor that must be considered. But now with the intervention of Scepter4, Yuyin believed that it would not be long before Scepter4 would replace most of the original responsibilities of the Jujutsu Association. By then, Gojo Satoru would have fewer concerns if he wanted to take action against the top management of the association.

Now, both she and Senior Gojo just need to wait patiently.
