Yaga Masamichi was acting very strange.
Miyauchi Hikage chatted with him until noon, and these words were the only thing in his mind.
He was being way too attentive to him.
Nanami Kento definitely hadn't told him about his constitution and the flames. This guy was always stern with Gojo Satoru, so why did he turn into a caring uncle when facing him?
Weaponry?
He could go look at whatever he wanted. As long as it wasn't a special-grade Cursed Tool, he could pick any of the rest as a gift.
The material warehouse was also open to him. Even though he wasn't a formal student of Jujutsu High, he could enjoy the treatment of ordinary students and obtain a certain amount of materials from it.
Whether it was to make Cursed Tools himself or get some supernatural herbs for a medicinal bath, it was fine. Even if it wasn't enough, Yaga Masamichi could lend him some from his quota.
The library access given was also one level higher than ordinary students. It not only contained the basic cultivation methods of various supernatural schools but also a small number of advanced techniques.
And when Miyauchi Hikage expressed his desire to take on some commissions, what was placed in front of him were also some commissions that seemed like internal welfare tasks.
Basically no difficulty, almost equivalent to a publicly funded business trip, and he could get good rewards.
Like this commission: a low-alert unknown supernatural fluctuation was sensed in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture. According to local jujutsu sorcerers and mediums, no threat was found, nor were any abnormal fluctuations detected.
Now they were applying for someone with perception ability to go over for a recheck. After confirming the situation, they would patrol along the coast in Fujisawa.
Wasn't this just a publicly funded one-day coastal tour?
Anyway, Miyauchi Hikage had nothing to do tomorrow on the weekend, so it wouldn't be a problem to go to Fujisawa for a spin.
But that wasn't enough. This old guy was actually encouraging him to bring a few more girls with him. Although other entertainment expenses couldn't be reimbursed, the round-trip travel expenses and food and accommodation expenses were no problem.
It was from here that Miyauchi Hikage felt a strong sense of wrongness.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Miyauchi Hikage washed his hands thoroughly. First, he secretly looked around Yaga Masamichi with his eyes, and then seriously divined for himself with playing cards.
The final conclusion was that there was an old schemer plotting against him behind the scenes, but the way the other party seemed to plot against him was to use the flowery world to corrode his heart?
Miyauchi Hikage, with a "confused Nick Young face" at this result, went to wash his face again. Following this point, he continued to trace the source, and finally traced it to a guy who had been dead for almost half a year, and could no longer divine any other useful things.
"Geto Suguru... no, it should be Kenjaku?"
Miyauchi Hikage rubbed his head. So the person watching him from a distance last night was this old undying Kenjaku?
A large pile of messy things in the Jujutsu world were basically done by Kenjaku, so Miyauchi Hikage didn't find it strange to get this conclusion.
At least it wasn't some new villain who suddenly popped up.
"But why did Kenjaku use this method to deal with me?"
"Am I an ignorant young man who can't withstand temptation in his eyes, so he wants to use this method to make me stand on his side?"
Miyauchi Hikage couldn't guess what that thousand-year-old brain was thinking.
But if the other party really thought so, then Miyauchi Hikage could only say, "Please intensify the efforts."
So after lunch, Miyauchi Hikage directly and quite violently agreed to Zenin Maki's request for a taijutsu spar, who had been studying women's self-defense arts with Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko all morning.
Then he exploded with ki at the start, and then relying on his own physique, directly executed a combo without explanation.
Jump heavy kick into heavy punch into Outer Style: Axe Kick, then Aragami (Wild Bite) and Dokugami (Poison Gnaw) without flames into Oniyaki (Demon Scorcher), and finally ended the match by knocking Zenin Maki four or five meters away with Shingo Yabuki's classic super move, Tetsuzanko (Iron Mountain Lean), Outer Style: Kake Hourin (Running Phoenix Phosphorescence).
"Sorry, Zenin-senpai, I have something to do this afternoon. Let's stop here for today. I just learned these techniques two days ago and I'm not very proficient yet. Next time when I'm more proficient, I'll spar with you again, senpai."
The Cursed Warehouse of Jujutsu High was open to him. Wouldn't he take this opportunity to hurry up and expand the special-grade Cursed Tools into his arsenal, instead of playing close combat with this muscular woman here?
And watching Miyauchi Hikage, whose mind was not here at all—in fact, she was just startled by the violent aura on his body after he exploded with ki at the start, and then was caught off guard by his combo, and didn't actually suffer any injuries—Zenin Maki looked at Miyauchi Hikage with a strange expression after turning over from the ground.
What did Principal Yaga say to him? Why does he seem so excited?
However, the combo he just performed was indeed a bit beyond my expectations.
Originally, when analyzing this taijutsu with these two new students in the morning, in her eyes, these fancy moves were somewhat exaggerated.
But it seemed that in Miyauchi Hikage's hands, after some adjustments, they could really show sufficient combat power.
"Is that technique of making the body enter an explosive state in a short time also a move of your taijutsu school?"
Yotsuya Miko flipped through the diary uncertainly: "That should be 'Exploding Ki', right? It has high requirements for the user's physical strength and mental state. I haven't learned that part yet..."
"Exploding Ki... a very apt name." Her taijutsu school was the Zenin style, which she had practiced since childhood, so she wouldn't switch to the Kusanagi style either.
Sun Breathing swordsmanship was originally a complete set of sword techniques. Learning a few moves separately couldn't bring out the exquisiteness of this set of sword techniques at all, and the scenarios this set of sword techniques dealt with were not fully applicable to Cursed Spirits, so Zenin Maki was only somewhat interested in Sun Breathing swordsmanship but indeed hadn't thought about switching.
But this taijutsu school itself was pieced together from hundreds of different moves. Those moves above the 100th style could also be effective when used alone.
Especially that Exploding Ki technique that strengthened oneself in all aspects and seemed to have no major side effects. She planned to study it carefully and rely on this move to reach Grade 1 strength.
At that time, in the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event this autumn, she could also use these techniques to teach those people from Kyoto what taijutsu really is.
"Then let's start training!" Zenin Maki quickly recovered from the defeat.
After all, she had been accustomed to failure since she was very young.
But taijutsu would not disappoint hard work. Every drop of sweat during practice would become a step under her feet, allowing people to go further on this road.
"Although Miyauchi, that guy, has talent like a monster, there are people even more monstrous than him in Jujutsu High. But you guys really should work hard."
"Obtaining this taijutsu earlier than Miyauchi, but he reached this level after only learning it for two days. If you don't double your efforts to catch up, the gap between you and him will only be further."
Yotsuya Miko naturally dared not have any objections, and immediately started training with Zenin Maki.
Shinomiya Kaguya, on the other hand, stood still, watching Miyauchi Hikage's retreating back from a distance.
Two days?
No, it was only a little over a day.
This was the diary entry posted by the mysterious person early yesterday morning.
Then yesterday evening, Miyauchi Hikage went with her to the villa deep in the mountains to film a video after school, and didn't finish filming and go home until after ten o'clock at night.
Today, Miyauchi Hikage came to Jujutsu High at eight in the morning, and he didn't look like he hadn't rested well.
Calculating like this, even if Shiina Mashiro gave these things to Miyauchi Hikage early yesterday morning, then the two practiced for a night, and then used the lunch break to practice at school, Miyauchi Hikage's time learning this taijutsu shouldn't exceed ten hours.
Ten hours, and Miyauchi Hikage could reach this level?
Shinomiya Kaguya, who had spent more than ten reading value points on this taijutsu, equivalent to two or three months of practice for a normal person, yet was still struggling with basic moves like light punch and heavy punch, thought so.
With such talent, is there really a monster more talented than him in this world?
Okkotsu Yuta, who became a special-grade jujutsu sorcerer at 16?
Or Gojo Satoru, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer who was invincible before graduating from Jujutsu High?
Shinomiya Kaguya, who had seen a glimpse of the future from the mysterious person's diary, still felt that the Miyauchi Hikage she knew was more dazzling.
So, did Miyauchi Hikage indeed possess such talent, or was he really the mysterious person?
The suspicion that had dropped to 1% rose back to 10% after Suzumiya Haruhi appeared, and rose again after the Projection technique last night.
To this scene today, the degree of suspicion had exceeded 20%.
But if Miyauchi Hikage really was the mysterious person, why did he have that indifferent look?
After all, the mysterious person used various methods unwilling to let others know his identity.
And Miyauchi Hikage just asked her to keep it secret with a light smile in his usual tone last night.
More importantly, in such a situation, how could Shiina Mashiro, an overly innocent girl, keep this secret for him?
She met Shiina Mashiro twice after May. The other party was indeed an innocent girl who was the same inside and out, which was why Miyauchi Hikage showed such meticulous care for her.
She had no doubt that if it weren't for Shiina Mahiru, these two people would probably have slept in the same bed long ago.
So Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't figure it out.
But at this time, she also had the same idea as Suzumiya Haruhi.
As long as she continued to stay by Miyauchi Hikage's side, she would find out the truth sooner or later.
And amidst the thoughts of a group of girls, Miyauchi Hikage was frantically copying in the armory.
The magic power in his body was now enough for him to perform seven consecutive ten-kilometer-level teleportations, and it could increase by one more every two or three days on average.
Note that these were consecutive uses, which meant that with a clear target, Miyauchi Hikage could transfer to a precise location 70 kilometers away within half a minute.
It just required a lot of mental power. If it were the previous Miyauchi Hikage, he would probably start getting sleepy after four or five consecutive teleportations.
Fortunately, Miyauchi Hikage's mental power was now linked to Yellow Temperance.
The stronger Yellow Temperance grew, the more significantly his mental power could be improved.
However, Yellow Temperance simply gnawing on meat didn't bring much improvement now.
To improve mental power, besides letting Yellow Temperance devour spiritual energy bodies like vengeful spirits, devouring those wandering Shadows in the Metaverse could also improve a certain amount of mental power.
It could only be said that eating two or three vengeful spirits a day in Beika Town would not affect the ecological environment of Beika Town at all, while eating those wandering ownerless Shadows in the Metaverse wildly could be considered a great deed of sacrificing oneself to purify the filth in people's hearts.
With mental power skyrocketing, for Miyauchi Hikage himself, the biggest change was firstly that he could think about more things and his thinking speed became faster.
Secondly, he became more adept at learning and research.
And even his magic power recovery speed became faster and faster.
Either eating a big meal to fully recover within half an hour, or slowly converting the overflowing life energy from the Pure Yang Body into magic power.
When full and energetic, magic power could be fully recovered in more than an hour; when hungry and sleepy, it would take seven or eight hours.
In a somewhat excited mental state, in less than an afternoon, Miyauchi Hikage had moved more than half of the Cursed Warehouse of Jujutsu High into his own Unlimited Blade Works.
Miyauchi Hikage could only say that there was a reason why Tokyo Jujutsu High had developed into the third largest force in Tokyo in the past twenty years.
Not counting those low-grade Cursed Tools used for practice, there were hundreds of Cursed Tools above mid-grade, and twenty or so Cursed Tools below special-grade. There were even three special-grade Cursed Tools!
Playful Cloud, the peak of the physical system, requiring no cursed energy, with greater destructive power the stronger one's physical strength.
The Black Rope, which disrupted the precision of techniques and negated the sure-hit effect of a Domain to a certain extent.
The Split Soul Katana, which ignored conventional defense methods and could directly attack the soul.
Unfortunately, Miyauchi Hikage didn't see the Inverted Spear of Heaven, which could nullify all techniques and even forcibly cancel Domain Expansions. That thing seemed to be kept in Tengen's barrier as a strategic weapon.
Even though Miyauchi Hikage's authority had been raised a lot, he was not qualified to go to the location of Tengen's barrier, so he naturally couldn't go there to project more special-grade Cursed Tools.
But even so, Miyauchi Hikage's trip was considered quite successful.
Although Playful Cloud was a three-section staff, it was originally the family heirloom sword of the Zenin family. Miyauchi Hikage could find a way to restore it to its original appearance, reducing the magic power consumed by projection while acquiring the Zenin family's swordsmanship and Fushiguro Toji's combat experience.
And the ability of the Split Soul Katana to ignore defense was also very useful. Copying dozens of them to ambush people later would be perfect.
There were also defensive Cursed Tools like the Black Rope, and some functional Cursed Tools for sealing.
Having stats and mechanics, Miyauchi Hikage's combat power in Unlimited Blade Works rose to another level.
"However, only Jujutsu High would open its Cursed Warehouse to me. Otherwise, unless a major crisis appeared, those people wouldn't wander outside with special-grade weapons usually."
But Miyauchi Hikage thought about it. It seemed that the nearest crisis was the Culling Game half a year later. Apart from that, he hadn't really encountered any disasters that would threaten the world structure.
Leaving Suzumiya Haruhi aside for now, this guy was in high spirits now and wouldn't cause world destruction in a short time. The power in her body shouldn't make her actually do these things.
Kakuja Ghouls?
This seemed indeed a bit troublesome. At least Grade 1, and it wouldn't be strange if they were special-grade.
Except for Rize Kamishiro, those who crossed over now were all conventional Ghouls. It seemed that those truly powerful BOSSes in the original work didn't appear.
However, he didn't know when the other party would cross the world to come here again, so worrying about this was useless.
Jerry was also responsible for keeping an eye on the youkai side. It had blended into the group of youkai quite reasonably. Everything was going smoothly so far, and no trouble had been encountered.
Only the Shaman King and Mage factions would make Miyauchi Hikage feel troublesome, but Miyauchi Hikage had only seen these two factions in the records of people from Jujutsu High. He had not contacted these two factions privately, and really didn't know what the situation was over there.
So, keep playing music and dancing?
Miyauchi Hikage, who alone equaled half of the Jujutsu High arsenal, thought so.
However, Miyauchi Hikage was still very modest.
After visiting the Cursed Tools side, he went around the places collecting various materials.
Projecting ores consumed a bit too much magic power, and some rare materials were even valued by grams or even milligrams.
But he just came to unlock the illustrated handbook. After unlocking this handbook, he could tinker with it slowly later.
However, minerals could be projected with extra magic power consumption, but there was no way for medicinal herbs and the like.
There was no problem using projected things directly, but they couldn't be eaten.
Relying on the backing of that old bastard Kenjaku, Miyauchi Hikage got some materials for medicinal baths according to the instructions, preparing to take them back for the Shiina sisters to use.
He hoped that Shiina Mahiru could master the method of making glowing dishes as soon as possible under the effect of the medicinal bath, so that she wouldn't need to add special effects when filming videos in the future.
Miyauchi Hikage, who spent an afternoon "cleaning out" Jujutsu High, went home satisfied.
It was only when he met Shinomiya Kaguya, who had practiced taijutsu all afternoon and was ready to go home, on the way out of the school gate, that he remembered that he seemed to have accepted a small commission for a publicly funded business trip to Fujisawa City.
So while hitching a ride, he asked about Shinomiya Kaguya's schedule for tomorrow, and also sent a message to Yotsuya Miko.
After all, Yotsuya Miko, this girl, had been chanting his name since receiving the commission. It sounded pitiful, so he would help her complete the guaranteed reward of that commission.
Anyway, he was going to take the family living in his Western-style house to fleece Jujutsu High. It didn't matter if there were one or two more people.
Kenjaku's sugar-coated bullet plan couldn't be terminated prematurely just because of these small expenses, right?
Yotsuya Miko replied exceptionally fast, immediately agreeing to the plan to fleece Jujutsu High together tomorrow, and she looked exceptionally happy and expectant.
Not only could she complete the commission, but she had indeed been working hard at Jujutsu High these days. Coming out to execute a commission and relax for a day to see the sea was indeed quite comfortable.
On the other hand, Shinomiya Kaguya waved her hand.
There were too many things piled on her. Taking a day out of the week to practice and compressing time usually for leisure and relaxation was fine.
But last night and today had already been consumed. She couldn't take another day out for fun this week.
"When the dust settles at Shuchiin on Monday, I can spare more time. Don't forget me when you receive this type of commission again."
Looking at Shinomiya Kaguya's exhausted appearance, Miyauchi Hikage didn't say anything more. He just simply used Hamon to soothe her spirit, and then let her go back to rest well.
After returning home, Miyauchi Hikage explained this matter to the people who were filming food videos in full swing.
Everyone, including Tohru, had no objections.
It was just that Miyauchi Hikari suddenly called Kato Megumi on a whim, and Kato Megumi happened to be free at home on the weekend.
So in the end, a famous scene of six girls plus Miyauchi Hikage traveling together was formed.
Regarding this, Miyauchi Hikage thought for a few seconds whether to call Itou Kaiji and Sakakibara Kouichi over to be his coolies.
But in the end, he decided against it after thinking about it.
Let them rest well at home on the weekend. If there was any work to do, just let Hikari do it.
Anyway, when a group of people gathered at the station early the next morning, the picture was indeed beautiful.
Five beautiful girls, plus a tomboy and a beautiful boy appeared together.
Compared to the only boy, people were more concerned about how that tomboy got mixed into this group.
Of course, Yotsuya Miko felt that she was the outsider.
Because apart from Shiina Mashiro and Miyauchi Hikage, she didn't know any of the remaining girls, at most having heard their names in the diary.
Dragon girl Tohru, Angel Next Door Shiina Mahiru, Passerby Heroine Kato Megumi, and Miyauchi Hikage's twin sister.
It wasn't that Miyauchi Hikari had no presence, but compared to the first three heroines, she, a supporting character, was indeed not that conspicuous.
Her most brilliant point was becoming friends with Kato Megumi, then becoming neighbors with Shiina Mahiru, and being Miyauchi Hikage's sister.
In short, except for finding some familiar feelings from Miyauchi Hikari, Yotsuya Miko felt a bit tricky facing the remaining few girls.
She didn't even know how to introduce her identity.
It was Miyauchi Hikage who took the initiative to fabricate a background for Yotsuya Miko.
"This Miss Yotsuya Miko is one of the main sponsors of our trip. She is interested in some special supernatural phenomena that have appeared in Fujisawa City recently, so she contacted me through Shinomiya Kaguya, wanting me to help her find the truth behind those supernatural phenomena."
"Originally, I thought I would pay to take you to Fujisawa for a day of fun, but this Miss Yotsuya generously stated that I could bring some friends to help, and she would also be responsible for everyone's normal consumption during this period. So while we play, we have to do a little work before that."
