Chapter 41 Didn’t expect it? I’m out!
In the world of sorcery, there are clear regulations regarding the assessment of the various levels of cursed spirits. Especially for the assessment from level 2 to quasi-level 1, there is a world of difference between one level.
No matter how huge the size of the cursed spirit is, how terrifying its shape is, or how strong its destructive power is, if it cannot use spells, it is still a second-level cursed spirit.
A sorcerer of the same level will definitely be stronger than a cursed spirit of the same level, so the rating of sorcerers from level two to quasi-level one is also equally strict.
Among the first-year students at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, the one with the highest rank is Nanami Kento, but he is only a second-level sorcerer.
He might be able to defeat a quasi-first-level cursed spirit now, but the problem is that he cannot be sure of the level of the cursed spirits in this building.
"...Nanami." Haibara Yu, who had been following Nanami Kento everywhere looking for someone, suddenly spoke.
Ever since he learned that something went wrong in this mission and that the second-level cursed spirit had become a quasi-first-level cursed spirit or above, Haibara Yu has remained silent.
"I know." Nanami Kento did not stop and ran forward resolutely.
He knew what Huiyuan Xiong wanted to say.
When he discovered that there was something wrong with the mission information and that the second-level cursed spirit had become above the first level, he instantly thought of the prophecy of Haibara Yu's death.
but……
"Maybe it's not what you think. The most important thing now is to find Kanda-san." Nanami Kento's calm voice made Haibara Yuya perk up.
"Got it!" He tried to make his voice sound normal.
This incident was most likely a sudden event. If it was really the incident that led to the death of Haibara Yu, it would be impossible for Kanda Kanon not to mention it in her heart.
Kento Nanami began to look for Kanda Kanon again, but the cursed spirits he and Haibara Yu encountered along the way were all low-level cursed spirits.
The more this happened, the more anxious Nanami Kento became. Because this means that the powerful cursed spirit may be with Kanda Kanon.
However, they searched every corner of the building but could not find any trace of the two people.
"What should we do, Nanami?" Haibara Yu's face turned pale, "Where was Kanda taken?"
Nanami Kento took out his cell phone, and as expected, he was out of the circle and couldn't make any calls. Looking around, although there was no trace of them, the entire building had not changed, and there was no point where the cursed power exploded.
The spell of that cursed spirit should be inclined towards concealment or rules, not the strong attack type. The cursed spirit has not appeared on their side yet, so the two people who were taken away are most likely fine.
"Now we have to find the place where the cursed spirit is hiding, and then we can start again...ah..." Nanami Kento was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt the breath of the cursed spirit.
When they looked up, they saw the cursed spirit they were all familiar with.
"Oh!" Haibara Yu's eyes lit up. He knew that this cursed spirit was the one that Geto Suguru placed next to Kanda Kanon.
The sturdy dog-shaped curse spirit sniffed everywhere, ignored them, and ran away on its own.
The two of them quickly followed behind.
The appearance of this cursed spirit made them feel relieved, and they almost forgot that Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru had installed more than one layer of defense system on her.
Just as they thought, as soon as Kanda Kanon was taken away, Geto Suguru knew that she was in danger.
Geto Xiayou placed more than one cursed spirit around her, in addition to cursed spirit A, there are also b, c, de and so on.
They have various duties, and one of them, the one assigned by Xia Youjie, is -
When Kanda Kanon encounters life-threatening danger, she must quickly expose herself.
Geto Suguru cannot empathize with the cursed spirits he controls, but he can sense when the cursed spirits are being exorcised. So he let the cursed spirit reveal itself so that he could know that Kanda Kanon was in danger.
In a mountain village far away from Tokyo, Geto Suguru no longer has the patience he once had.
He stopped listening to the villagers' long speeches and waved his hand to interrupt them. He turned around and forced a gentle smile.
"Will you two come with me?"
The two little girls who hugged his thighs nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, then let's get ready to go back immediately." After getting the response from the two girls, Xia Yujie picked up a girl in each arm and ran as fast as if his feet were greased.
"...Wait!" The village chief who was left behind was dumbfounded and looked at the people next to him.
Is this person here to steal children?
However, the villagers did not chase after him. Instead, they went home in silence.
They would definitely fight to the death with Geto Suguru for stealing their own children, but since the two disaster stars were stolen, they were just stolen away, and they didn't even bother to give them some food.
They were just two monsters without parents. If they hadn't used their strange abilities, they would have killed them long ago.
However, it was obvious that Geto Suguru was not going to let them go.
"Hello police, we have received a report of child abuse from you. Please cooperate with the investigation."
After all, this world is a modern society. Even in a backward and remote mountain village, as long as you are a citizen of this country, you must abide by the laws and regulations of this country.
The reason why no one has cared about it is simply because this place is deserted and no one has noticed it. Xia Youjie came and saw what happened. He then went to find a police officer he knew and demanded that these people be severely punished.
Any act of harming children is unforgivable, let alone these two children were harmed by curses.
"Lord Getsu, where are you going? Aren't you going with us?" Nanako asked anxiously.
Xia Yujie touched the two girls' heads and handed them over to the police.
"Don't be afraid, these brothers and sisters will protect you. Follow them to check your injuries first, and then have a good rest. I will come to pick you up after I finish my work." Xia Yujie was a little restless. Although there was a warm smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes.
Nanako and Mimiko looked at each other and nodded obediently.
But when Xia Youjie stood up and prepared to leave, Mimiko couldn't help but ask, "Is there something urgent? Do you need our help?"
Xia Yujie shook his head, restrained his smile, and a hint of obscurity flashed in his eyes.
"It is indeed a very important matter. Someone very important to me is in danger now. I have to go quickly..." Xia Yujie said in a hoarse voice and gave a look to the policemen next to him.
It might be too late for him to rush over now, so Xia Youjie took out his cell phone and dialed Gojo Satoru with a grim expression.
"Moses..." Gojo Satoru answered the phone after just two rings, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Geto Suguru's powder keg-like voice.
"What are you doing? Where is Kanon now!" Xia Youjie couldn't help but vent his anger on Gojo Satoru. They were clearly together when he left. It's only been one day, how could something happen to him?
“…Huh? She’s not in the technical high school…” Gojo Satoru’s voice suddenly changed.
Xia Youjie took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his body couldn't stop shaking, and even his voice became unstable.
"My cursed spirit has exposed itself." After Geto Suguru said this, Gojo Satoru immediately understood.
"Beep, beep, beep--" There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone. Xia Yujie got up with a dark face and hurried back.
Gojo Satoru implied that he and Kanda Kanon were not together, and he didn't even know that she had left the technical high school.
He called Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu again, but the call was not connected to either of them. Xiayou Jie had an idea.
It seemed that all three of them were trapped.
The final call was made to the auxiliary supervisor he was familiar with.
"It's me. Can you help me check where the first years are going to do their mission today?"
On the other side——
“Boom boom boom—”
The huge explosion stunned the auxiliary supervisors and people at the window who were waiting outside.
The task assigned to Gojo Satoru this time is to find suspected traces of a special-grade cursed spirit in an abandoned villa. Although it was abandoned, it was close to the city, and in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the assistant supervisor asked him to try not to damage the villa.
But……
"There's not even a trace left." The assistant supervisor cried bitterly as he watched the villa being razed to the ground in an instant.
How is he going to explain this? The disappearance of the villa overnight will definitely be on the news again.
"Hey." At some point, Gojo Satoru stood beside him with his head down.
The assistant supervisor shuddered all over. The man's deep and hoarse voice, like a ghost, scared him.
Then, Gojo Satoru slowly raised his head, the assistant supervisor's face became even uglier, and his legs were shaking like a sieve.
"Tell me where Kanon is now." Gojo Satoru grabbed the assistant supervisor by the collar. His handsome face looked as ferocious as a Shura demon, which was chilling.
"Huh?" The assistant supervisor had tears in his eyes and his mind went blank.
Hanane? Could it be that you are talking about first-year student Kanon Kanda?
How does he know where it is? Isn’t this difficult? The assistant supervisor looked pale.
"Ding——" the cell phone notification sounded, Gojo Satoru pushed away the assistant monitor in his hand and hurriedly took out his cell phone.
But the person who replied was not the one he expected, but an unread text message from Geto Suguru.
I opened the text message and saw a location marked on it.
This place is not too far from his location, and it may only take a few minutes to drive there quickly.
But Gojo Satoru couldn't wait even for a minute.
"Where are you going, Gojo-san!!!"
The assistant coach was dumbfounded again after watching Gojo Satoru leap into the sky, then put his hands together and disappear.
How should I write the task report now... The assistant supervisor burst into tears.
And someone who everyone was trying their best to rescue was praying silently in a small dark room.
I took out my cell phone but there was no signal and I wasn't even given the chance to ask for help. I didn't know where that stupid dog was now, and it was being locked up with some unreliable feudal remnant.
Only that crappy book and Amagiboko could give her a little warmth, but one was useless and she had to control the other one herself.
If he had known this would happen, Gojo Satoru would have been more serious when training her.
"I am a believer who has a heart for doing good and have never done anything harmful to others. I am willing to be a vegetarian from now on and do good deeds. I wonder if any god would be willing to lend a hand and help me get through this difficult time!" Kanda Kanon hugged Amaniboko, rubbed her hands with a pious expression, muttered a vow, and prayed to God to have mercy on her and save her life.
"..." Zenin Naoya who was standing next to him was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
From the time he was born till now, this was the first time he had seen a sorcerer praying to God when he encountered a cursed spirit.
"No, you are such a coward, how dare you challenge me?" Zenin Naoya really couldn't understand this woman.
"Heh." Kanda Kanon gave him a look and let him figure it out for himself.
Zenin Naoya's face flushed instantly and his fist hardened. If he hadn't been trapped here by the cursed spirit and had no idea when it would attack them, he really wanted to teach this woman a lesson first.
How could there be such a nasty person?
"But then again, isn't it a level two cursed spirit? That's really strange..." Zenin Naoya's expression was solemn, and this type of hidden cursed spirit just happened to be the type that had the worst compatibility with him.
His spellcasting spells are known for their speed and freezing abilities. But the cursed spirit did not show up yet, and his magic was of no use.
This space should be the subspace under the spell of the magic. It is pitch black all around and there is no end in sight.
This is really tricky. We must find a way to get out of here. Zenin Naoya racked his brains to think about it.
"Alas, why must I be locked up with you? It's so unlucky." Kanda Kanon's prayers were of course of no use at all. She squatted on the ground dejectedly, sighing while hugging Amaniboko.
She glanced at the tattered book next to her, and became more certain that it was not the Book of the Future, otherwise how could it not have anticipated today's crisis.
It is true that she is an unimportant person who did not appear, but the people other than her occupy a considerable number of paragraphs in the story.
But now the problem came. This cursed spirit seemed to want to trap her in here to death. How could she get out of the small dark room?
【Ah↗Wait! 】
Kanda Kanon suddenly remembered something, her eyes moved downward, and she stared straight at the Amesaki Hoko in her hand.
"What did you say..." Zenin Naoya was about to get angry, but his spell was interrupted by Kanda Kanon's words.
"Let me ask you one thing first. This broken place where we're locked up is a cursed magic, right?" Kanda Kanon stood up and asked seriously.
"...Otherwise, was it me who did it?" Zenin Naoya rolled his eyes.
"Heh." Kanda Kanon's mouth twitched, "I never thought that I would have this day."
The girl suddenly evolved from a timid little hamster into a proud white swan.
Her long hair was scattered and fluttering in the windless air. She held a short blade in her hand, facing the void with a fearless look on her face, like a Valkyrie on the battlefield.
The sudden change left Zenin Naoya confused.
"Any technique is useless in front of it!" Kanda Kanon sneered.
Recalling Gojo Satoru's teachings, Kanda Kanon exerted force from her dantian, and the cursed power began to flow from her abdomen, and she poured them into the Aensaihoko in her hand.
"Get out of the way!" Kanda Kanon rushed forward holding the Amesaki Hoko.
"…Is this true?" Zenin Naoya widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
The black space that trapped them was shattered so easily. The surrounding darkness was like broken glass, shattered into pieces and finally turned into ashes.
And the one who did all this was this stupid woman whom he had always looked down upon.
Zenin Naoya looked at the cursed tool that she had been holding tightly in her hand. Not to mention the cursed power flowing in it, the cursed power of the tool itself was also quite powerful.
This is a special-grade spell tool, and a special-grade spell tool that can affect spells. You can imagine how precious it is.
Where did this woman get it from? Even he didn't have such a magical tool, and Zenin Naoya looked puzzled.
It's just like ordinary people judging other people's family background based on their clothing, financial resources, etc. The kind of spell tools a sorcerer possesses often reflects how extraordinary he is.
It seems that this woman is much more important than he imagined.
Outside the space, the two people and the dog also looked at the two people who suddenly appeared with a dazed look on their faces.
"Haha...hahahahahaha, you didn't expect that I, Kanda Kanon, would come out on my own!" The girl screamed to the sky. This feeling was so great.
It is better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. In fact, she was really happy after doing it.
Thank God... No, she should thank her handsome and caring fiancé, Gojo Satoru!
At the same time, two strange students in school uniforms fainted on the floor.
Their faces were pale and they looked haggard, as if they had been up all night and all their energy had been drained away.
Before Kanda Kanon could check, she was shocked the next second.
Because the spell was destroyed, the hidden cursed spirit suddenly appeared before everyone.
Not only that, the cursed spirits from the entire sanatorium swarmed in and they were completely surrounded.
"..." Kanda Kanon's eyes were sharp, and she spoke slowly, "Is it too late to run now?"
Of course it’s too late! Curse Spirit A pounced and protected her behind him.
Damn it, please don't make things difficult for a dog!
