Promoting Konoha's cup of wine at the Magic College

The air that is about to enter winter has faded away from the heat early. Even after a fierce fight in the mission, there will not be a layer of sticky sweat like in summer, and I will only feel a comfortable coolness and refreshment.

This kind of weather is just right, not too hot or too cold, making people feel comfortable all over. It is especially suitable for traveling and playing. It can give tense nerves a holiday and relieve people's emotions a lot.

Perhaps it is for this reason that there are fewer curse spirits produced by the agglomeration of human negative energy during this period.

Xia Youjie used his own magic to roll the curse spirit into a pitch-black ball. He held the pitch-black round spell spirit ball and stretched his shoulders and neck casually. He hid in the bunker and squatted for almost two hours before catching it. Although this powerful but overly cautious curse spirit, his body was a little stiff and numb.

Fortunately, although the process was a little tiring, the task was completed and a powerful curse spirit was recovered.

Xia Youjie jumped off the bunker, swallowed the magic ball in his hand, and at the same time lifted the tent. He got into the vehicle of the auxiliary supervisor who had been waiting for a long time and sent a report related to the mission to Mr. Noctua. After everything was done, Then he closed his eyes and rested.

The magicians are busy with their work, and it is common for them to take a nap to recuperate while being transported by the auxiliary supervisor.

Even though the recent task of exorcising cursed spirits is no longer as arduous as before, Xia Youjie's sense of responsibility makes it difficult for him to take time off.

He still continues a large number of tasks. After all, this relatively small amount of tasks is only a relatively small amount. In fact, the cursed spirits can never be exorcised.

Spellcasters possess power that most people in the world lack. For young people with high ambitions, this rare power is both a precious gift and a heavy responsibility.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. As spellcasters, they have great power and should protect the weak ordinary people.

Xia Youjie is driven by his own righteousness to keep moving forward. This is of course what he wants, but occasionally, he will feel a trace of inexplicable confusion and fatigue between busy tasks.

Cursed spirits are caused by the leakage of negative emotions that ordinary people cannot control. This also means that as long as humans still exist, the cursed spirits will be endless and difficult to eradicate. They can only be exorcised by spellcasters endlessly traveling to various places. .

This is a long work with no end in sight, filled with the bones and blood of the conjurers, full of death, tears, curses, blood and pain.

Dead spellcasters will not come back to life, but spell spirits have been born and died several times, exorcised by spellcasters time and time again, and reborn from the negative emotions of ordinary people again and again, never ending.

Xia Youjie, who was resting with his eyes closed, frowned tightly, and there was a small but deep mark between his eyebrows due to the long frown.

In the back seat, the local specialties that Xia Youjie bought in advance opened a hole in the packaging during the bumps of the car. The fragrant aroma overflowed from the exquisitely packaged bag, and the warm sweetness secretly surged in the small space inside the car. .

Xia Youjie, who was half asleep, slowly and unconsciously opened his eyebrows wrapped in this sweet fragrance.

In a light sleep that seemed not to be sleeping, Xia Youjie was originally standing alone in the empty darkness. The sweet fragrance condensed into the backlit figures of two people in the gray dream. They were bathed in the light and looked towards them. He waved in the darkness. Their faces were blurry due to the backlight, but Xia Youjie had an intuition that they must be smiling.

So he laughed too.

"Hey, Jay, what are you dawdling about? Come here quickly!"

"Teachers Glass and Noctua are still waiting for us in front!"

They urged him from the front, reaching out to him, his precious friends.

Teacher Noctua's angry but helpless scolding, the faint smell of disinfectant, tobacco and alcohol on Glass's body, the smell of gel pen ink essence, the sound of pages turning, the sound of spell tools colliding, after the physical arts class The smell of sweat, the sound of the game console clearing levels, and the sweetness that always seemed to be absent from those two sweet-toothed guys.

...As soon as he thinks of this, Xia Youjie can't help but want to smile from the bottom of his heart.

It's not always good for him to have special powers

Things, such as the disgusting taste of the spell ball when he just mastered the spell, the busy tasks, and the cold laws of life and death in the spell world, if he was just an ordinary person, he might live a happier life.

But it was this special power that allowed them to meet at the Magic College, and they had an incomparable bond. Compared with the disadvantages, these precious bonds alone were enough to support Xia Youjie to continue walking fearlessly. Fulfill your responsibilities.

He walked out of the lonely darkness and walked toward the light where his companions were, smiling.

……

…………

"Hitomi is not in the laboratory. Has she gone on a mission?"

Xia Youjie held up the souvenirs and handed her the one that belonged to Glass.

Glass was sitting on an automatic swivel chair and drinking a cup of coffee. Hearing this, he turned around and reached out to take the souvenir. A bottle of fine sake appeared in a glass bottle from the bag. Glass tapped it with his fingers and looked at it with satisfaction. The clear wine inside created intoxicating ripples.

"No, Hitomi has already reported to Mr. Noctua that she won't be going on missions in the recent period. She is studying her own technique."

Glass took a sip of coffee, and the dark green eyes made Xia Youjie couldn't help but say that she should go to bed instead of drinking coffee here to refresh herself.

Hitomi also has this bad habit. Both she and Glass are repeat offenders, but Hitomi is the type who admits her mistakes humbly and refuses to repent, while Glass simply ignores such advice and goes in one ear and out the other.

Sure enough, Glass raised his eyebrows and pretended not to hear, and started to change the topic.

"Unless Hitomi has information about the special-grade cursed spirit she encountered that is similar to her newly developed spell, and then sets out to find it on her own, she has always wanted to catch that cursed spirit, but it's a pity that that type of cursed spirit The special-level spell spirit already possesses quite mature wisdom, and if it really wants to hide, there is no good way for the spell caster to do it."

Xia Youjie also pondered for a while and felt that this reason was reasonable, but for some reason he always had a strange feeling in his heart.

Glass paused and put the coffee back on the table, flipped up a lab report, and said casually, "Speaking of which, Xia You, did you see Gojo in school today?"

Okay, Xia Youjie knows what's strange.

Obviously, the cock-breaking cat with a strong sense of presence is not on campus at the moment. After all, as long as he was busy in the high school, he would say how could the high school be so quiet today.

As Gojo Satoru's most intimate friend, Xia Youjie knew very well that Gojo Satoru had only taken on two tasks today, and they were both still in Tokyo. With Gojo Satoru's strength and speed, he should have returned to school long ago.

should.

If Hitomi Uchiha hadn't also gone out, Xia Youjie would have believed that Gojo Satoru was delayed by a difficult task.

Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes and realized that something was not right.

really.

This guy Satoru Gojo took advantage of his absence from the high school to sneak Uchiha Hitomi out of the high school for a date at a Japanese confectionery shop behind everyone's back. He was really cunning, Satoru.

Xia Youjie, who had arrived in a hurry, was staring at Gojo Satoru.

Before Xia Youjie could ask a question, the five cats that had escaped were the first to speak with great arrogance.

As soon as he put on his sunglasses, he had a cool look that no one liked: "Jie, why are you here?"

Xia Youjie laughed angrily and asked, "Can't I come?"

【You are ruining my date! Ruining a date between a young couple is completely unforgivable! 】

Gojo Satoru's fiercely accusing eyes shot straight through the dark sunglasses, and Xia Youjie was sure that he had received his signal of condemnation.

He sneered and glared back unwilling to be outdone [Your date? Young couple? Do you recognize it? 】

Soul asked three questions, causing the five cats to choke.

Damn it, should we say they were bad friends or not, Xia Youjie's move was like a snake's attack, and it hit Gojo Satoru's weak point at once.

However, how could the shameless Wujiao Cat admit defeat? He immediately turned to look at Tong pitifully, and said unreasonably: "Tong, look, Jie bullies me, I am so pitiful!"

Hitomi Uchiha: "

......"

With all due respect, she really couldn't see why Xia Youjie was bullying Gojo Satoru.

"Jie went too far! He uhhh..." Xia Youjie pinched Gojo Satoru's cheek, and Gojo Satoru grabbed Xia Youjie's arm with his backhand, and the two immediately started fighting.

...You are obviously bullying each other.

Inoue Mingsha grabbed Hitomi's sleeve and looked at the scene in front of her and almost wanted to sigh. She deeply felt that she was involved in an inexplicable Shura field again.

Seeing the fight between them getting more intense, Inoue Mingsha was a little scared: "Are they okay like this?"

"It's okay, they are like this because they have a good relationship." Hitomi Uchiha patted the somewhat nervous Akisa Inoue with relief, and said with certainty, "Hitting is kissing and scolding is love. This is the sincere love between them. "

The two people who were fighting suddenly showed indescribable expressions. If I had to say it, it would be terrible to watch. In short, the two people quickly separated and began to try to kill each other with their eyes.

Seeing this, Inoue Meisa showed an expression of admiration. This must be Miss Hitomi's well-thought-out strategy. Look, the two naive DKs really stopped after saying this. It is much more effective than simply trying to persuade them to fight!

Hitomi Uchiha was moved: "Look, the eyes between them are so friendly."

Xia Youjie: "..."

Gojo Satoru: "..."

Gojo Satoru gave up the game of glaring with Xia Youjie, and leaned forward to approach Hitomi Uchiha to act coquettishly: "Hitomi, I'm so thirsty~" He deliberately took off his sunglasses, and his beautiful eyes were watery.

There was a cup of steaming tea on the table, and Hitomi was about to reach out and give it to Gojo Satoru——

Xia Youjie took the first step, took away the cup with tea, and brought over the wagashi on their end: "Satoru is really inconsiderate, ma'am, so I'll do it."

Hitomi took the wagashi from Xia Youjie, and Xia Youjie winked at her.

"Jie is such a gentleman." Hitomi sighed simply.

Then Hitomi and Inoue Meisa ate wagashi and watched Xia Youjie hold down the frustrated Gojo Maomao and give him tea.

This is another competition between idiots and DKs. They say they are primary school students, and primary school students will cry. These adolescent boys are so childish.

Forget it, let’s post with the beautiful and powerful Miss Hitomi, hehe.

The silent winner, Akisa Inoue, leaned against Hitomi and nuzzled her affectionately~

What ended the harmonious and friendly four-person date was an unexpected emergency call from Noctua Zhengdao.

"Satoru, the situation is urgent. Your technique is the most convenient. Hurry to Nagano Prefecture. I have sent you the location... Wait, Jie and Hitomi are also with you... That's great, don't save me from giving them one by one. You guys are on the phone, Wu, turn on the speakerphone..."

Gojo Satoru turned on the speaker phone, and the three heads were immediately crowded together.

Noctua Masamichi explained the mission concisely and told Uchiha that Hitomi already had the information about Hana Yu's whereabouts that she had been inquiring about before.

"understood."

The three of them responded to Noctua's instructions and immediately began to prepare to leave for the mission location.

Gojo Satoru's mission is the farthest away. It is said that a first-level curse spirit with huge destructive power and quasi-super strength appeared in Nagano County. It has caused 3 deaths and 5 people are missing.

The incident happened suddenly. There are currently no first-level magicians in Nagano Prefecture, and there is no time to recruit them. They can only let Liuyan, who has the teleportation technique, rush to the rivers and lakes to rescue the emergency, and the special-level magic spirit Hanayu that Hitomi has been looking for has also been witnessed. Near Nagano.

As for Xia Youjie, he needs to stay in Tokyo to explore the traces of a curse master.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the starless and moonless sky was dark and lonely, but the lights of the city on the ground lit up lively one by one, replacing the bright stars and moon in the sky.

"Oh, oh, oh, it deserves to be Tokyo, it's so prosperous."

On top of the towering building, the curser with the strange stitches on his head looked at the busy traffic and the brightly lit city night scene and sighed casually with a smile.

"Hmph, is this a good thing? Human beings have ruined nature like this for their own selfish desires. Look at it.

, the stars and the moon are not visible at all in the city where humans gather. "

The one-eyed curse spurted sparks from the volcano-like head, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased. On its side, the Curse whose left arm was wrapped in white cloth and with two rugged branches growing out of its eye sockets emitted strange sound waves from its mouth, agreeing with the idea of ​​the One-Eyed Curse.

If Hitomi Uchiha could definitely recognize it at this moment, it would be the cursed spirit Hanami she had been looking for for a long time.

"Don't be so excited, Leohu, Huayu," the curse master with the stitches on his head called these two powerful curses affectionately, "If our plan goes smoothly, then you don't have to endure human atrocities anymore. "

"But, it's a pity. The magicians on the human side are very strong. We still need to stay dormant for a while."

The one-eyed curse originally wanted to refute, but then he remembered the previous conjurer whose eyes would turn into red when fighting, so he couldn't help but closed his mouth, and just blew out a cloud of smoke from the top of his head in annoyance.

"understood."

The Curse Master then smiled, and the sutures on his head were clearly illuminated by the bright lights of the city, which for some reason made Luohu feel a strong sense of disgust.

"There is a new powerful curse in Nagano that should be a reliable companion for us, but it is making too much noise now. It is not a good thing to attract the pursuit of the magician while it is still weak."

The curser took out a scroll full of curses.

"Now, let me ask Luo Hu and Hua Yu."

"Tsk, just leave it to us, just a magician——"

The black spell spread from the scroll to the ground, gradually forming a flat circle. Hua Yu and Luo Hu stood on it, and soon the two curses disappeared into the wind together with the black spell.

Also disappearing into the wind was the curser's unexplained murmur.

"Sharingan..."

I wonder if Hua Yu can lure you out?

Curse masters who have lived for thousands of years know that no matter how powerful a magician is, they will have their own weaknesses. No one can be an indestructible iron wall.

Just like Achilles, the son of a demigod who is as powerful as he is, he also has a weakness like a heel. And sometimes, the weakness is not necessarily physical, it may also be the softness of inner emotions, or the obsession that has always been there.

So what's your Achilles' heel, the powerful Sharingan Master?

Cumulonimbus clouds as huge as mountains are the tyrants that dominate the sky tonight. Its dark and thick clouds roll over and cover the brilliance of the stars and the moon, making the night darker, and thunder rumbles in the thick clouds.

Although the road surface was slippery due to bad weather, there was no shortage of vehicles of all kinds speeding along the city's busy roads in the dark rainy night, making a loud sound in the pouring rain.

Satoru Gojo's spell suddenly teleported him to Nagano where it was raining, but Hitomi Uchiha was not caught in the rain.

Gojo Satoru held her hand, and the moment he noticed that the weather was strange, he covered Hitomi's body with his magic. The majestic rain poured down, seeming to be extremely close to her, but there was a thin, invisible layer. The technique blocked out the rain.

This feeling is a bit novel. Is this what I usually feel when I drive unlimited?

Hitomi curiously stretched out her palm to catch the rainwater. She saw that the rainwater was only millimeters away from her, but the feeling in her palm was always dry.

The other hand was held by the fingertips of Gojo Goku. His fingers were frighteningly hot, as if they were a little nervous, the muscles were tense, and there was some indescribable stiffness.

"It's so magical, Enlightenment's technique."

The hand being held seemed to be clenched a little tighter, but it could also be an illusion, because the strength was almost non-existent. Gojo Satoru seemed to be restraining himself. However, this was very unlike his behavior, so it was definitely an illusion.

Rainstorm couldn't see his expression clearly, but Hitomi could imagine that he must have raised the corners of his mouth a little proudly, because Satoru's voice also rose cheerfully: "Of course! I am the strongest Gojo Satoru. !”

Hmm, no, Satoru is kind of cute like this.

However, adolescent boys have very strong self-esteem, so they probably don’t like girls praising him for being cute. Thinking of this,

Hitomi didn't boast directly.

Wutiao Maomao: What does adolescent boys’ self-esteem have to do with me?

Praise me now!

"Did Satoru see the cursed spirit with his six eyes?"

Because the mission targets are all in Nagano, Hitomi Uchiha does not intend to separate from Gojo Satoru. After all, Satoru's six eyes are much better than her Sharingan in searching for information. Going together to exorcise the cursed spirit is the most efficient option. , lest she go to Hua Yu alone without a clue.

Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses, and those famous eyes of the sky, which broke the balance of the world, emitted starry blue light in the dim rainy night, which was especially obvious in the darkness.

It's glowing, like fireflies in summer.

The rain poured down, but the two of them were isolated in the art of only two of them, and the strong wind and rain from the outside had no choice but to bypass the two people holding hands.

Gojo Satoru stopped his usual careless demeanor and carefully used his six eyes to collect relevant information.

There are still about four hundred kilometers to go, and the filth of the cursed spirits there is extremely chaotic.

The two teleported again.

Abandoned, disrepaired factory.

Gojo Satoru did not let go of Hitomi Uchiha's hand even after entering the door, because the factory had not been used for a long time. There were cracks and holes everywhere. Strong winds and heavy rain could freely enter and exit inside, completely losing the building's shelter from the rain. Function, a shaky window sways tenaciously in the wind and rain, trying to maintain the last dignity of this factory.

But unfortunately, it was not saved in the end. The window fell from a height with hatred and disappeared into the rain in the dark night outside without a trace.

"Ha, these curse spirits are really good at choosing places. They all grow in such ghost places."

Gojo Satoru complained, but he didn't take it seriously. It was just a first-level curse spirit, and it wasn't worth fighting with Hitomi.

It's just that there is strong curse power everywhere, making it difficult to accurately determine the specific location of the curse spirit, and...

This curse spirit is indeed smart and knows how to hide from the strong, but unfortunately, the path of this cunning curse spirit ends here.

Because he has six eyes.

The bright blue condensed between the fingers and shot toward the hiding place.

Get it!

"Hey, it's so weak, and it disappeared all of a sudden." Seeing the curse spirit dissipate easily in front of his eyes, Gojo Satoru was a little disappointed, "Originally, if it was interesting, I wanted to tease him, try to trick the curse spirit and I hold my hand and let it think it has a chance to kill me at close range - it will definitely be very excited, it is willing to die with six eyes, but - hey, it can't be touched, it will be so angry!"

Originally, I just wanted to look cool in front of Hitomi.

The result is so weak, there is no chance to be cool at all, no matter what.

Holding hands?

And the curse spirit?

Does Satoru like holding hands so much? Even at the expense of fighting the curse spirit?

Hitomi Uchiha looked thoughtfully at their joined hands.

Gojo Satoru held her finger weakly and hooked her fingertips.

This shouldn't be considered holding hands in the strict sense.

Uchiha Hitomi thought so, separated Gojo Satoru's fingers, inserted her own fingers and interlocked them.

This is real holding hands.

The excessively high temperature was transmitted through the skin in contact, making it a bit hot.

However, before Hitomi could think about why Gojo Satoru's body temperature was so much higher than hers, along with the rumbling thunder, the lightning that followed would clearly illuminate the abandoned factory through the empty windows for an instant. Chu.

Including the expression of Gojo Satoru's eyes wide open and stunned.

The violent rain suddenly fell on the two of them through the cracks and windows everywhere. The cold rain hit their skin, but the palms of their hands held together were still as hot as if they were burning.

Gojo Satoru's unlimited technique lost control for a moment.

Although he reacted quickly and covered the bottomless area again, he seemed a bit in a hurry.

It was too sudden, he was not prepared for such close contact at all! At that time, his head was as messed up as if he had used his six eyes too much and had broken contacts. What could he do? His mind was filled with endless loops.

Huan and the others were holding hands... There was simply no room left to calculate the limitless limit...

Oops, it would be too shameful for me to lose control of my magic just because I was holding hands! Not handsome or mature at all!

Damn it, no lower limit, you are already a mature technique, why can't you perform it yourself? He couldn't help but be angry at his own technique.

"Satoru?" Uchiha Hitomi tilted her head and looked at him, a little confused about what was happening to her best friend at this time, "Were you afraid of thunder just now?"

Gojo Satoru: "..."

He gritted his teeth stubbornly: "Yes!"
