Chapter 29, Chapter 10: A New Mission
"Ahem..." Quickly wiping away the embarrassment, Ayaka cleared her throat and said seriously, "Uncle Natsuyu, I have some very useful information to tell you."
Xia Youjie looked at her suspiciously and asked warily, "Who died this time?"
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Do you really think she's some kind of devil?!
Seeing her speechless expression, Xia Youjie chuckled: "Just kidding, what's wrong?"
"It's about your technique, Uncle Xiayou."
Xia Youjie raised an eyebrow slightly: "Hmm?"
Karin Oriyuki asked him, "Do you know about [Kyoku no Ban]?"
"A profound and ultimate technique that is one level below [Domain Expansion]." As a top student, Xia Youjie naturally knew this.
"The ultimate form of the Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique is called [Vortex], which is an attack formed by gathering a large number of Cursed Spirits together."
Xia Youjie looked at her with considerable surprise and asked, "Is this... a skill that I will possess in the future?"
“Yes,” Karin Oori nodded, “but I don’t know the specifics of how it works.”
I could only explain the general principles to Xia Youjie and let him figure it out on his own.
Xia Youjie smiled and said, "It's alright, this is enough. Thank you, Fei Li-kun."
"Furthermore, when using [Vortex] on a cursed spirit of level one or higher, you can extract the cursed spirit's spell formula."
Upon hearing this, Xia Youjie's eyes visibly brightened.
"Does it mean extracting the spell formula from the cursed spirit and transferring it to oneself?"
"right."
"Huh? Isn't that super strong?" Gojo Satoru's voice suddenly rang out above Oriyuki Karin's head, startling her.
When did this guy get here?
Gojo Satoru had absolutely no awareness of having frightened others, and said with great interest, "Then, Je, won't you be able to possess a multitude of techniques in the future, and you'll be able to directly control them?"
There is a significant difference between activating a spell directly yourself and activating a spell by controlling a spirit.
In terms of speed, the former only involves one step: activating the spell. The latter requires first releasing the spirit, then giving commands to the spirit, and finally having the spirit activate the spell. Clearly, the former is faster.
In terms of precise control over the effects of spells, Xia Youjie's human mind is definitely better than that of the cursed spirit, whose mind is unknown.
However, Ayaka Shiki pointed out, "But the precision of the extracted spell cannot be improved."
Xia Youjie pondered for a moment and said, "So, the strength of the spell will be frozen at the moment it is absorbed?"
Gojo Satoru thought this wasn't a problem: "Then let's tame it first, give it some intense training, and then absorb it after we've squeezed out most of its potential."
Xia Youjie nodded in agreement, then gave Zhi Xueya and Karin a grateful smile: "Thank you, Hishi-kun."
Gojo Satoru found the feeling of receiving a cultivation direction from the future quite novel, and couldn't help but point to himself and ask, "What about me? Has my future self figured out anything?"
Karin Origami thought for a moment: "[Domain Deployment]?"
"Then?"
"Emmm...long-distance displacement?"
"Anything else?"
"And... a completely shameless system that can be turned on 24/7 and automatically identify targets?"
"Nothing else?"
After thinking about it again, it seemed that there really wasn't anything else.
She shook her head: "That's all, right?"
Gojo Satoru curled his lip in disbelief: "Tch, can't you come up with anything new?"
Xia Youjie smiled helplessly: "This is an ancestral technique of yours, with various experiences and skills summarized by our ancestors. You don't have to fumble around like a headless fly to figure it out yourself. I don't know how many people envy you, right?"
Instead, he's complaining that there's nothing new about it.
Gojo Satoru still pouted: "But it's not fun at all..."
Xia Youjie felt like he was in Versailles.
Suddenly, Masamichi Yagami's figure appeared from a distance. He glanced at the people training on the playground and finally fixed his gaze on Satoru Gojo and Natsumi Yuuki.
"Wu, Jie, there's a new mission from above. You two come over here for a moment."
Gojo Satoru and Natsume both sighed, looking like they weren't really keen on moving.
Night Moth Masakado frowned: Hmm?
The two got up and walked over nonchalantly, and Karin, out of curiosity, followed. Not far away, Shoko Ieiri, who was sparring with Yu Haibara, stopped what she was doing and walked over when she saw what was happening.
Lately, Karin Oori and Shoko Ieiri have often accompanied Satoru Gojo on missions, so this situation has become quite common.
However, Masamichi Yagami glanced at Karin Oriyuki who had followed him, then turned to Shoko Ieiri and said, "Shoko, this mission will take a bit longer. You and Hisato don't need to go. You two can go back."
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, both Karin Oori and Shoko Ieiri raised their eyebrows slightly.
What? Are you saying you won't even let them hear it?
Ieiri Shoko didn't have much of an opinion; she figured she could just ask Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suke later, and they would definitely tell her what the mission was.
But before she could even call out to Oriyuki Karin to leave together, the clever Oriyuki Karin said first, "Then we won't go, we'll just listen first."
The moth said, "..."
He actually just felt that this mission was a bit cruel to children, so he wanted Ieiri Shoko to take Oriyuki Karin away from it.
But Yuki Ayakari's attitude of "I don't understand what you're saying, but I'm going to stay and listen" left Yagami Masamichi speechless for a moment.
Okay, let him put it more tactfully.
Seeing that Yagami Masamichi didn't say anything more and didn't plan to leave, Ieiri Shoko stayed there with Oriyuki Karin as an observer.
"The mission this time is to protect the Starmaw girl and..." Masamichi Yamo glanced at Karin Oriyuki and changed the word "annihilate" to "eliminate".
"Eliminate?" Gojo Satoru asked in surprise.
Xia Youjie translated: "Teacher Night Moth, you mean to say kill it, right?"
Night Moth said: "..."
Listening to Xia Youjie's even more straightforward and blunt description, Ye'e Zhengdao was momentarily unsure of what he had been subtly implying.
He thought to himself, "Isn't Jay usually the most meticulous? Why is he speaking so bluntly this time?"
What Yae Masakado didn't know was that Xia Youjie and the others spent every day with Zhi Xueya Karin and knew her better than he did.
Although this child clings to his mother every day and seems like a little mama's boy who only knows how to rely on his mother for everything, he is actually extremely precocious.
They could easily see that although Karin always asked her mother to stay with her, she actually wanted Shoko Ieiri to spend more time with them instead of being left alone in the infirmary at the college.
Besides, considering the three consecutive days of being called by the King of Hell when the child first arrived, how could you still consider him a clueless little kid?
They're not blind; they can clearly see the amused look on Ayaka's face every time she calls roll!
However, it seems that Haibara Yu and Nanami Kento haven't told Yagami Masamichi about their future deaths yet.
Well, never mind, it's not a big deal.
At this moment, Masamichi Nocturne was unaware that his students had once again concealed a "small matter" from him.
He glanced at Yuki Ayaka's expression and found that she wasn't surprised at all by the mission details; on the contrary, she looked excited.
Night Moth said: "..."
There's no need to be so happy...
Alright, since that's the case, then Moth of the Righteous Path has no need to be tactful anymore. He then explained the details of the mission to the group.
Yuki Ayaka was indeed excited. Everyone knew that the Star Essence Incident was a key plot point in the Huaiyu Chapter, and also a sign that the cosplayer would be able to travel back in time!
Normally, once the asteroid incident is resolved, you can go home. How could Yuki Ayaka not be excited?
The mission described by Yagami Seido is similar to that in the original work: to protect Tengen Riko and then deliver her to the Red Star Palace on time to assimilate with Tengen.
Zhi Xueya Karin really wanted to join in the fun.
Although it sounds dangerous, the bodyguards are Gojo Satoru and Natsume! And the current Gojo Satoru is an enhanced plus version!
Most importantly—she wanted to see her father.
And that was Fukuro Jinji! A tyrant of heaven and earth! It would be such a pity if Gojo Satoru killed him.
Why don't we stay and all work together to make the rope and perform the Nuo ritual?
So after the moth left, Karin raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to go too.
Looking at the incredibly enthusiastic kid, Gojo Satoru said, "Didn't Yagura say that this mission would take a long time and that you and Shoko should stay at the vocational high school?"
Karin Oori hesitated for a moment, thinking: Maybe... Ieiri Shoko should stay at the high school?
But I always felt like they went out to play without her, and... she's a mama's boy, how could she leave her mother alone in the college clinic?
Seemingly sensing Ayaka's hesitation, Shoko Ieiri said, "If you want to go, then go with the two of them. I'll stay at the vocational high school."
"No way!" Karin Oori resolutely refused. "I don't want to leave Mom alone in the infirmary!"
It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched. Shoko Ieiri chuckled softly, reached out and patted Karin Oriyuki's head, saying, "If you're not keeping me here, I can't possibly go with them on every mission; that would be too tiring. I've been out enough times lately, so let me rest a bit."
“At worst…” she pointed to Gojo Satoru, “Next time, let Gojo stay in the infirmary while Natsume and I go out on missions.”
Gojo Satoru:?
He pointed at himself: "No, me!?"
Xia Youjie laughed: "Good idea."
Oriyuki Karin also thought it was a good idea.
Ieiri Glass made the decision: "Then it's settled."
Gojo Satoru tried to retort: "Wait a minute, isn't anyone going to ask for my opinion?"
Shoko Ieiri glanced at him: "Didn't you promise to come to the infirmary to help me?"
"I said help, not shift work."
Shoko Ieiri waved her hand, indicating that it was no big deal: "Okay, I'll let you know when I need to rest."
Gojo Satoru: "..."
Finally, Karin Oori went on a mission with Satoru Gojo and Natsumi Yuki, while Shoko Ieiri stayed behind at the high school.
To emphasize her mama's boy status, before leaving, Ayaka Ooyuki kept telling Shoko Ieiri that she would bring back delicious food for her mother and call her to chat.
Shoko Ieiri nodded, both amused and exasperated, "Okay, then you be careful too. Thank you for your help, Natsuyu."
Ieiri Shoko entrusted the task to Natsuyuki, but Gojo Satoru said without hesitation, "Don't worry! I'll definitely keep an eye on this kid!"
Shoko Ieiri's lips twitched: "Do you remember what happened the last time you said that to Natsuyu?"
Gojo Satoru: "..."
Xia Youjie: "..."
Shiki Ayaka: Pfft.

Author's note: Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone makes a fortune in the new year and is happy every day!
By the way, I'd like to recommend my newly started novel, "Welcome to the Monster City".
Famous beauty blogger You Shushu moved to the ancient city of Yaojing on the recommendation of a friend. A week after moving into her new home, she noticed that something was not quite right.
She just put on monster makeup, and she can't get it off!
——
A powerful demon recently moved into the area, and the lesser demons have been observing her for several days and feel that she is not simple at all.
"Is she a ghost with a painted skin? Look, she changes her appearance every few days."
"The Painted Skin Ghost can only change its appearance; how could it possibly change its demonic aura as well?"
"I saw her bring back a willow branch one day, and that very night it transformed into the Willow Maiden. Do you think those monsters she transformed into might all be things she did to..."
"No, that won't do, will it?"
In order to save their lives, the lesser demons came to offer sacrifices and show their submission.
You Shushu, a "great demon" who is always careful and afraid of being discovered to be nothing at all: "..."
If you accept these offerings, how can you possibly survive?
It just opened today, so any cuties who are interested can check it out!
