Yotsuya Miko only realized that Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't see the "special effects" she saw in her eyes from her description.
She reached out and touched her eyes.
Is this also the effect brought by these eyes of mine?
Is it because Miyauchi Hikage is using Water Breathing that I can see the waves stirred up by his blade?
Yotsuya Miko had never seen such things happen to anyone else before, so she couldn't help but look at Panda-senpai beside her, wondering if he could see the same scene as she did.
Although Panda had been focusing on the two people fighting in the center of the playground, he still knew something about his junior who had special eyes.
She suddenly awakened a super-high-level Spiritual Vision, and it didn't affect her body at all.
The nature of vengeful spirits meant that only those with stronger power could see more powerful vengeful spirits. So even for him, he could only see Grade 1 vengeful spirits at present, and at most a blurry shadow for anything above that.
In a sense, Yotsuya Miko, who could even see the appearance of special-grade vengeful spirits clearly, meant that her eyes had at least special-grade potential.
Unfortunately, so far, although Yotsuya Miko's talent for cursed energy was not bad, she had not shown any particularly outstanding aspects yet.
But she suddenly saw something special in this battle today.
His gaze fell on the blade wielded by Miyauchi Hikage.
So those waves of sword qi appear as waves in Yotsuya-san's eyes?
Thinking of this, although he couldn't see the scene in Yotsuya Miko's eyes, looking at Miyauchi Hikage's continuous offensive like a flowing river, it seemed that there really was a feeling of undulating waves.
It was just that he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only tell Yotsuya Miko to remember all this, and she could ask Miyauchi Hikage about these special sword techniques later.
Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya's eyebrows twitched slightly, but in the end, she said nothing.
After all, she also planned to ask Miyauchi Hikage later.
And in the center of the playground, facing a taijutsu expert like Zenin Maki, Miyauchi Hikage, who was sparring with someone for the first time, indeed felt a sense of enjoyment.
Practicing sword techniques against the air naturally wasn't as tense and focused as fighting against a real person.
Especially since Zenin Maki had seen the rustiness in his sword techniques earlier and intentionally fed him moves. Unknowingly, the set of Water Breathing techniques Miyauchi Hikage had mastered had already reached the last few forms.
Looking at Zenin Maki, who was still handling it with ease, Miyauchi Hikage also prepared to increase the intensity a little.
"Water Breathing, Tenth Form: Constant Flux," after completing a somersault slash with the Second Form: Water Wheel, he called out the name of the sword technique he was about to use to Zenin Maki for the first time.
"Ah... the waves in Miyauchi-kun's hand are starting to change!" Yotsuya Miko noticed the change in the waves the moment Miyauchi Hikage prepared.
It was a water dragon circling around the sword!
Zenin Maki also seemed to realize the aura on Miyauchi Hikage, and her eyes couldn't help but become solemn.
As the last move in the conventional sword techniques of Water Breathing, this was also the move with the biggest difference in power depending on the user.
It could be said that this was a rotating slash that could continuously stack power.
Each rotation would make the slash stronger.
Of course, although it was said to be infinitely stackable, it actually depended on the user's physique.
If the physique was not good, naturally, it wouldn't be able to exert much power, and might not even be as good as the previous forms of Water Breathing that were used as separate slashes and thrusts.
But with the blessing of strengthening magic and Hamon breathing, Miyauchi Hikage still had some stats, and the power of this move in his hands would naturally not be bad.
Miyauchi Hikage swung the tachi in his hand, and the sword qi became increasingly sharp. Zenin Maki also felt a trace of pressure.
Although she just wanted to see the quality of her junior, so she deliberately let him take the initiative to attack while she passively parried.
But was this junior really a supernatural being who had just completed his awakening a few days ago?
In terms of physique alone, she, who had firmly reached Grade 1, actually felt that her junior's physical fitness was comparable to hers!
Facing the increasingly powerful rotating slash, Zenin Maki finally put away her contempt.
If she continued to defend like this, sooner or later there would be a time when she couldn't block it if this junior continued.
And since he had already used this move, it should be his trump card at the bottom of the box.
Then she should also take the initiative to fight back and not let this junior's momentum continue to stack.
With this thought, Zenin Maki quickly adjusted her tactics, and the naginata in her hand met the attack head-on for the first time.
In Yotsuya Miko's eyes, it was Miyauchi Hikage controlling the azure dragon in his hand like a dragon dancer, colliding violently with the naginata in Zenin Maki's hand, sparking intense sparks!
Instantly, the azure water dragon collapsed, and both of them took a step back due to the force of the impact.
And the Metal Silver Overdrive attached to the blade of the tachi by Miyauchi Hikage was also transmitted to the naginata at this moment.
Zenin Maki only felt that at the moment the two weapons crossed, a subtle energy fluctuation came from the tachi in the opponent's hand, almost making her lose ownership of the weapon in her hand!
Is this also the power he possesses?
She thought suspiciously in her heart, but her physical reaction made her kick Miyauchi Hikage with Zenin style taijutsu the moment she felt she couldn't hold the weapon in her hand.
Among the copied Zenin style taijutsu, Miyauchi Hikage, who knew this move, also quickly retracted his sword to block this blow.
Zenin Maki was not discouraged by the missed hit. Using a complete set of Zenin style taijutsu plus the sword techniques she had practiced for many years, she took this opportunity to launch a counterattack against Miyauchi Hikage.
She had already seen Miyauchi Hikage's Water Breathing. Although she hadn't found a way to crack it yet, she would just defeat him directly with a more violent counterattack.
The naginata slashed open waves of sword qi. For a while, Miyauchi Hikage really felt unable to parry.
After all, he had only practiced sword techniques for a few days, relying entirely on talent. The switching between moves was indeed not particularly smooth.
Fortunately, there was also the experience copied by the tachi, which allowed him to barely take the opponent's offensive wave with the help of strengthening magic and Metal Silver Overdrive.
Does she want to defeat me in one go?
Miyauchi Hikage dealt with Zenin Maki's attacks while retreating, trying to continue gathering the sword qi of Water Breathing.
However, after seeing Water Breathing, the other party didn't intend to give him a chance to regroup.
In that case...
Miyauchi Hikage gritted his teeth and forcibly used the Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow - Turbulent to pull away a little distance.
Then, the moment he landed and Zenin Maki wanted to continue rushing forward, he switched sword techniques.
The compatibility between Water Breathing and Hamon breathing was average. Except for the final Sun Breathing, the one closest to Hamon breathing in terms of manifestation should actually be Thunder Breathing.
Water Breathing was just for warming up.
As the water flow subsided, a slight sound of lightning rang from the sword body and even around Miyauchi Hikage, slowing down Zenin Maki's advance.
Is this... another move?
Does he have new moves?!
This time, not only Yotsuya Miko could see it, but Shinomiya Kaguya, who had practiced Hamon breathing for a month, could also see it more clearly.
After all, isn't the manifestation of Hamon breathing under normal conditions these constantly jumping electric arcs?
She just compared the Hamon in her body now. It would probably be difficult for her to envelop her whole body with Hamon like Miyauchi Hikage.
If she wanted to do it, she might be able to, but it certainly wouldn't be as easy as Miyauchi Hikage.
But she clearly remembered that when she sparred with Miyauchi Hikage using Hamon before, the amount of Hamon in his body was less than hers, and he defeated her relying on his skills in using Hamon.
Looking at it now, Miyauchi Hikage had probably been going easy on her at that time.
Can supernatural awakening really bring such a big improvement to a person?
This was not the first time Shinomiya Kaguya had thought this, but watching the spar between Miyauchi Hikage and Zenin Maki, she couldn't help but have some expectations for the day of her supernatural awakening.
While thinking, Miyauchi Hikage had already adjusted his state. Accompanied by electric arcs all over his body, he used the most basic and core move of Thunder Breathing, Thunderclap and Flash.
Feeling Miyauchi Hikage's speed soar again, and knowing that the opponent was coming aggressively, Zenin Maki no longer held back and used her true skills to fight Miyauchi Hikage.
She knew that if she didn't handle it well, she might really lose to this junior.
She didn't want to be defeated by a boy who had just awakened to the supernatural.
She wielded her naginata, blocking the path of the opponent's thrust with superhuman reaction speed.
For a moment, she seemed to feel that Miyauchi Hikage had turned into lightning and passed through her.
When she recovered from the noise of the lightning, Miyauchi Hikage had already sprinted to a position behind her.
She looked at the naginata in her hand.
The handle of the blade was already crumbling under the opponent's lightning-like draw just now.
If this naginata wasn't a Cursed Tool she usually used, with a value higher than other training weapons and a hardness far exceeding them, the opponent's slash just now might have directly cut off her weapon.
She turned her head.
Sure enough, under the impact just now, the weapon in Miyauchi Hikage's hand also had a huge gap.
But Zenin Maki's eyes became even more solemn.
The two weapons were not on the same level, but the damage they received at this time was not much different.
It could even be said that the damage to the weapon in her hand was more severe.
Could the power awakened by the opponent even strengthen the weapon in his hand?
Zenin Maki thought.
At this point, the sparring with weapons could no longer continue.
Although these things were low-grade Cursed Tools for practice, they were still troublesome to maintain.
If she had known that this unenrolled junior had such sword techniques, she would have sparred with a wooden sword directly.
Thinking of the two completely different sword moves the opponent used just now, Zenin Maki began to be interested in him.
She threw away the heavily damaged naginata in her hand and shouted at Miyauchi Hikage with high spirits, "Your sword technique is good. Now let me see your taijutsu!"
In response, Miyauchi Hikage glanced at the tachi in his hand.
The effect of the strengthening magic attached to the Projection magic still disappointed him a little.
But thinking about it, it seemed normal.
Projection magic focused on overwhelming numbers, and the attached strengthening magic also focused on cost-effectiveness.
The projected weapon itself would be one grade lower than the original, and this was already the situation after the strengthening magic took effect.
Although Miyauchi Hikage's Projection magic was an optimized version, which could almost reach the full level for these low-grade Cursed Tools, that was all.
"I'll have to find a way to copy a batch of high-grade Cursed Tools to expand Unlimited Blade Works later," thinking this, Miyauchi Hikage put down the tachi in his hand, and then shook his head helplessly at Zenin Maki.
"Zenin-senpai, before my supernatural awakening, I was just an ordinary high school student. I just learned these sword techniques two days ago. Apart from these sword techniques, I don't know any taijutsu."
Those wild punches he learned in the countryside certainly couldn't be considered taijutsu.
Although he still retained some memories of the copied Zenin style taijutsu, he wasn't familiar with Zenin Maki yet, so there was no need to bring it out.
It was enough to expose this much combat power today.
He knew that Zenin Maki had just shown her true ability, and with her full combat power, she indeed had the strength of a semi-Grade 1.
But Miyauchi Hikage hadn't exposed his card magic, Projection magic, and Sun Breathing yet. Counting these, he definitely had Grade 1 combat power in his normal state.
And after using Unlimited Blade Works, relying on the priority of the Reality Marble over Domain Expansion, dealing with weaker special-grades, like the special-grade Cursed Spirits that were beaten by Sukuna in the early stage of Jujutsu Kaisen, would definitely be no problem.
"And there's the sealing technique that has been hidden all along. This thing also has a high upper limit. Whether it's Gojo Satoru or Sukuna, they are susceptible to sealing," Miyauchi Hikage thought.
Sparring like this and knowing his current strength was enough.
There was no need to be ravaged by Zenin Maki with her crushing taijutsu. He wasn't a masochist.
So, after saying that he didn't know taijutsu, Miyauchi Hikage put on a powerless appearance. "The Thunderclap and Flash just now was my full strength. I can't use it again in a short time. Let's end this spar here."
