In the afternoon, the video of the fight between Miyauchi Hikage and Zenin Maki was posted in the chat group.
Originally, Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to treat Miyauchi Hikage and Tohru to a nice dinner this afternoon to welcome them.
But the sparring session in the afternoon had a bit too much impact on them. After the fight, Miyauchi Hikage obtained a higher-level entry pass and went home on the grounds that he was a little tired from the spar.
Moreover, after knowing that Miyauchi Hikage and the others were back, the angel-like Shiina Mahiru had already taken the initiative to bring Shiina Mashiro to his Western-style house to take care of Tohru and Miyauchi Hikari who had just arrived.
Miyauchi Hikage couldn't possibly let her work hard all day to prepare dinner for them, only for him to take Tohru out for a big meal with Shinomiya Kaguya.
Therefore, Shinomiya Kaguya could only postpone this meal for later.
Anyway, Miyauchi Hikage had already gotten involved with Jujutsu High. With this relationship, she wouldn't have any problems contacting Miyauchi Hikage in the future.
So after getting the Jujutsu High entry pass and exchanging contact information with a few people, Miyauchi Hikage, who said he would come back to take commissions when he was free, went straight home.
And Shinomiya Kaguya posted this video in the group in the evening.
Although Shinomiya Kaguya had posted many videos of Jujutsu High in the chat group before, and had participated in several low-level Cursed Spirit exorcism missions with the help of those seniors in the upper grades, and had seen some Cursed Spirits.
But this was indeed the first time they had seen such a spar.
UMR: "Hey, hey, hey, is this a joke? Is that Miyauchi Hikage really someone who just completed his supernatural awakening? I saw the air around the blade distort when he swung his sword!"
Shinomiya Kaguya: "A holder of the second batch of diaries personally witnessed Miyauchi Hikage's supernatural awakening, and later Gojo-sensei also confirmed Miyauchi Hikage's ability."
"And the sword technique he used in the video was given to him by me just the day before yesterday. In fact, before he got these sword techniques the day before yesterday, he had never practiced swordsmanship at all. What he showed in the video was all comprehended by himself in these two days."
This sentence immediately caused a bigger stir in the group.
Shinomiya Kaguya did withhold some information, but she shared those breathing sword techniques very comprehensively, not only including sword techniques but also complete breathing methods.
And on Miyauchi Hikage's side, he actually only had the sword techniques. The remaining breathing rhythm was completely adjusted by himself based on the style of these sword techniques over the past two days.
As for the power, it was very obvious in the video.
According to Panda-senpai, this was the sword qi that would only appear after achieving success in swordsmanship cultivation, and Yotsuya Miko even clearly saw the "special effects" of the waves with her own eyes.
When using the Tenth Form of Water Breathing: Constant Flux, the sword qi directly condensed into the shape of a dragon.
Zenin Maki herself also said after the spar that when she forcibly interrupted Constant Flux, she almost lost her grip on the weapon in her hand.
After that, even though Zenin Maki started to counterattack, and Miyauchi Hikage responded somewhat reluctantly, he still persisted for several minutes.
And the Thunderclap and Flash at the end of the video was even clipped out separately by Shinomiya Kaguya into a video of only a few seconds.
Even in the ultra-high-definition video recorded using the diary, the girls in the chat group couldn't see Miyauchi Hikage's movements clearly at that moment of the lightning-like thrusting draw.
They could only see a flash of electric arcs, accompanied by a sharp sound of weapon collision. The naginata in Zenin Maki's hand was almost cut off, and a huge gap appeared on the tachi in Miyauchi Hikage's hand.
It was only when they kept slowing down the speed, until they used the diary's function to slow the video down to 0.1 times the original speed, that they could finally see the whole process of this strike completely.
If this was some senior supernatural being, it would be fine.
But this was Miyauchi Hikage, whom they had already known about through the mysterious person's diary half a month ago.
Half a month ago, Miyauchi Hikage was just an ordinary person with strangely good luck, relying on his sister's assist to get involved with multiple female protagonists, and was mocked by the mysterious person.
Those who had contacted Miyauchi Hikage during that time, Shiina Mashiro and Kasumigaoka Utaha, could prove that apart from being handsome and having a good brain, Miyauchi Hikage's only problem was moving into the vengeful spirit garbage dump of Beika Town.
As a result, in just half a month, he had grown to this extent.
In Zenin Maki's words, even considering only what Miyauchi Hikage had shown now, it was completely enough to be rated as a Grade 2 supernatural being. But apart from the sword techniques and the glowing eyes shown at the beginning, Miyauchi Hikage didn't show much ability.
"Although Gojo-sensei is usually unserious, since he said that Miyauchi Hikage has potential not inferior to his, then the abilities Miyauchi Hikage hasn't shown yet must have at least special-grade potential. It wouldn't be strange even if he was judged as special-grade right from the start like that guy Okkotsu."
These were Zenin Maki's exact words, and then she excitedly exchanged contact information with Miyauchi Hikage, inviting him to spar again next time.
This was still under the circumstance that Zenin Maki didn't know that Miyauchi Hikage had only practiced swordsmanship for two days. In the end, Shinomiya Kaguya was too embarrassed to say this out loud.
Shinomiya Kaguya: "Anyway, that's it. I don't know Miyauchi Hikage's ability either, but according to Maki-senpai's analysis, it might be related to swords. But I'm not sure what exactly those eyes do. I'll go ask him to teach me breathing sword techniques later."
As Shinomiya Kaguya mentioned that the strength Miyauchi Hikage displayed had steadily reached Grade 2, and his hidden abilities might even directly make him reach special-grade, the girls in the chat group also started @ing Shiina Mashiro and Honma Meiko one after another, wanting to see if they had anything else they were willing to say.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only five grades of supernatural beings: 4, 3, 2, 1, and special. But the upper and lower limits of strength for each grade are quite large.
And ordinary supernatural beings would only reach Grade 2 or 3 after working hard for a lifetime. This was also the grade with the largest proportion of supernatural beings in the inner world.
Grade 1 above that was the pillar of the inner world. Generally speaking, if two or three experienced Grade 1 supernatural beings formed a team, they could clear weaker special-grade anomalies.
Shinomiya Kaguya knew that Miyauchi Hikage hadn't mastered Sun Breathing yet. Once he mastered the strongest Sun Breathing sword technique among the breathing styles, he could probably reach Grade 1 just by relying on his sword skills.
It was just that the more she felt these powers displayed by Miyauchi Hikage, the more she wanted to know all of Miyauchi Hikage's powers.
But unfortunately, she and Miyauchi Hikage could only be considered ordinary friends. It was impossible for her to know such secret things, and she felt embarrassed to ask Miyauchi Hikage about these things.
After all, even if she asked, Miyauchi Hikage probably wouldn't tell him.
Then she was slapped in the face.
Shiina Mashiro quickly sent a message in the group: "Hikage said his awakened abilities are quite miscellaneous, but they should be related to 'fate'. His usual financial luck, improved physical fitness, and those eyes are all manifested under the effect of this ability."
Kuroneko: "?"
Tyrant's Eye: "?"
Kasumi Utako: "?"
After all, everyone was just casually joining in the fun. Who would have thought that this silly sweet girl Shiina Mashiro would really answer every question so frankly?
Menma: "Eh, is it okay for you to reveal Hikage's ability like this, Miss Mashiro?"
Although she didn't say that Miyauchi Hikage could complete teleportation relying on the power of fate, just the word "fate" could already indicate a lot of things.
Shiina Mashiro: "It's fine, I've already asked Hikage, and he said it doesn't matter. His current trump cards are Tohru and that sword. He's currently discussing with me whether to take a few low-level commissions together for practice?"
Shinomiya Kaguya's face became a little subtle.
Knowing clearly that Shiina Mashiro came first, seeing Miyauchi Hikage's caring look of telling Mashiro everything, the inexplicable emotion in her heart became even stronger.
Is it because Shiina Mashiro, this innocent girl, put all her thoughts on Miyauchi Hikage from the beginning, so Miyauchi Hikage would also be so sincere to her?
At least Miyauchi Hikage had never said in front of her that they could take commissions together for practice in the future.
She adjusted her mentality, telling herself that she hadn't fully gained Miyauchi Hikage's trust yet, and she could take it slowly in the future.
And Honma Meiko, far away at Chichibu Shrine, was also dazed watching Shiina Mashiro's "declaration" in the group.
Hikage and Miss Shiina Mashiro have only known each other for half a month, is their relationship already so good?
Did Hikage tell her about Tohru and the holy sword without reservation?
But that makes sense. After all, Tohru has gone to Tokyo with Hikage now, so it's not strange for Hikage to explain Tohru's origin to Shiina Mashiro.
She had originally thought that after finishing her cultivation and having enough strength, she could wait here for Miyauchi Hikage to return during the summer vacation and then go to meet him.
But looking at it now, if she just practiced here like this, heaven knows to what extent the relationship between Miyauchi Hikage and that Shiina Mashiro would develop by the summer vacation.
Honma Meiko, who had only met Miyauchi Hikage a few times, began to feel nervous.
She was already considering whether to use reading value to sneak to Tokyo to meet Miyauchi Hikage after completing her current cultivation?
And in the group, as Shiina Mashiro inadvertently revealed the matter of the "sword," the gossip girls in the group got excited again.
UMR: "Mashiro-nee, the ability 'fate' sounds too mysterious. You should hurry up and tell us what's going on with that sword!"
Kasumi Utako: "Could it be the dragon-slaying holy sword that pierced Tohru?"
As a novelist, Kasumi Utako's associative ability for these things was still very strong.
When she saw the mysterious person writing about Tohru's original story in the diary, she had already noticed the holy sword used by the gods to kill Tohru.
In the original work, that Kobayashi pulled out the holy sword from Tohru's body and saved Tohru, but the whereabouts of that holy sword were not mentioned.
She didn't know how Miyauchi Hikage and Honma Meiko saved Tohru, but obviously, that holy sword must have been pulled out by the two of them.
Perhaps that sword was now in Miyauchi Hikage's hands?
In the Western-style house, looking at the message on Shiina Mashiro's phone, Miyauchi Hikage was not surprised that Kasumigaoka Utaha discovered it.
After all, when chatting about novels these days, he had also chatted with her about many novel settings. A few days ago, she suddenly asked him about things like "the Sword in the Stone," and he knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha had guessed that the holy sword that almost killed Tohru might have fallen into his hands.
So he used Shiina Mashiro's phone to send a nodding emoji. He just admitted this matter, and left the rest for everyone in the group to imagine.
For example, where the holy sword was hidden by Miyauchi Hikage now, why Miyauchi Hikage's swordsmanship practice speed was so fast, and whether Zenin Maki feeling that Miyauchi Hikage's ability was related to swords was also due to the influence of the holy sword?
Anyway, just let them fill in the blanks. The more they imagined, the more they would automatically help him round off these detailed issues.
He did obtain Unlimited Blade Works the moment he got the holy sword, and his swordsmanship talent was also improved at that time.
But as he admitted the matter of the holy sword, and then ignored the point of the speed of swordsmanship improvement when explaining "Destiny Magic."
After these girls filled in the blanks, even if he used Unlimited Blade Works in the future, they would subconsciously think that this was all due to the influence he received after obtaining the holy sword.
And similarly, as Miyauchi Hikage responded with Shiina Mashiro's phone, after a brief silence, the girls in the group reached a tacit understanding.
Miyauchi Hikage, who had just completed his supernatural awakening, might now have special-grade strength just by relying on the power of that holy sword.
Or rather, it was combat capability comparable to special-grade in a short time.
Coupled with that "fate" ability that sounded powerful, Miyauchi Hikage probably really had special-grade power.
After this thought arose in her mind, Shinomiya Kaguya became even more restless.
There were currently only three special-grades alive and clearly confirmed by the Jujutsu world.
As Miyauchi Hikage's friend, it was normal for her to go and check on him tonight since he was tired from sparring with someone, right?
However, as soon as this thought arose, she quickly shook her head.
No, I'm being too utilitarian now.
Shiina Mashiro herself said that she gave the answer in the group after asking Miyauchi Hikage. Even though she didn't know how Shiina Mashiro bypassed the shielding mechanism, if she went to find Miyauchi Hikage now, it would definitely make Miyauchi Hikage have some bad impressions of her, thinking that she was going for his strength.
Forcibly suppressing the restlessness in her heart, Shinomiya Kaguya reminded herself in her heart that she still had to use her true self to contact Miyauchi Hikage with an attitude of learning and asking for advice.
Even if she couldn't reach the level of Shiina Mashiro, it would be good to reach the level of Yotsuya Miko.
