mudslides in the magic world

The training ground of the high school of conjuration is very large. Eiji wanted to practice with his new classmates with a wooden sword, but Kusakabe Atsuya directly used the conjuration equipment he carried with him, and his whole body burst out with conjuration power.

Since the other party was so serious, Eiki naturally went all out. When Hikabe Atsuya rushed over, Eiki held his breath, and the Akizuki knife drew a clear light. With a click, the blade broke, and Eiki cut off Kusakabe Atsuya directly. the spell tool.

Atsushi Kusakabe was visibly startled. Eiki's Akizuki sword touched Kusakabe's neck. He reminded Kusakabe: "Your spell power can be simulated like a spell tool. Even if the spell tool breaks, don't lose your mind."

The spell power can be relied on to continue to attack on the broken sword. For a spellcaster with spell power, the spell tool is only a way to release the spell power, not a must.

Kusakabe Toshiya's face turned red at first, and then turned pale. He didn't say a word, and continued to swing the broken sword in his hand. The mantra power was condensed into a blade as Eiki said, and he attacked from the bottom up.

Eiji flicked his wrist, and the long sword was like a rainbow, brushing Kusakabe's blade and piercing Kusakabe's arm.

Kusakabe's arm immediately gathered the magic power, and he used the magic power to block it without slowing down his attack speed. Seeing that Eiki was about to be stabbed by Kusakabe's blade, Eiki suddenly let go.

To be precise, he didn't let go, but sent out with force from his wrist, and the Akizuki knife was like a sharp thorn, speeding up and piercing Kusakabe Atsuya's shoulder directly!

Kusakabe Atsuya was startled again, he clearly resisted with his magic power!Is it the special ability of the magic tool?

Because the shoulder was pierced, Kusakabe's attack suddenly seemed powerless, Eiki easily dodged it, turned around and appeared beside Kusakabe, and with a quick grab, pulled out the Akizuki sword that was stuck on Kusakabe's shoulder.

The night moth who had been watching coughed Zhengdao: "Okay, stop."

He first said to Yingji: "Why did you use the spell?"

Eiki shrugged: "Kusakabe's spell power is very good, I have to cut it."

Noctua Masamichi nodded, and he looked at Kusakabe Atsuya, who was clutching his shoulders: "Eiki's technique is to strengthen the slash, and the spell protection is ineffective in front of him. The best way is to avoid it."

After a pause, Noctua Zhengdao added: "If it cannot be avoided, it will definitely be penetrated."

Kusakabe Atsuya gasped: "The magic protection is invalid?"

But he quickly grasped the point: "Then if I use spell power to enhance my speed, then I can counterattack after avoiding it?"

Noctua Masamori said happily: "Yes, in front of Eiji, you can only strengthen your speed."

He clapped his hands: "You should familiarize yourself with your fighting habits first, Kusakabe, don't use magic power in the first practice, otherwise you won't be able to practice against Eiki."

Kusakabe Atsuya bowed his head: "Yes, I understand."

Eiji saw that Noctua Masato had finished commenting, he put away the Akizuki knife, and walked quickly to Kusakabe Atsuya: "I acted appropriately, I probably didn't cut off the muscle, but inserted the gap, now go to the infirmary for treatment, probably tomorrow. It's fine."

Kusakabe Atsuya was startled when he heard this, what a terrifying control.

He murmured in a low voice, "Forget it, it's because I'm too weak."

Yingji nodded: "Your movements are indeed a bit rough, not concise enough."

Kusakabe Atsuya was stunned when he heard this, he ignored Eiji, but asked Noctua Zhengdao: "Teacher, my magic tool is broken, can I apply for a new one?"

Ye Mozheng said: "The school can rent it to you, but if it breaks down again, you will have to pay for it."

After hearing this, Yingji said naturally: "You are a third-level spell tool, right? I'll give you a new one later."

Kusakabe Atsuya felt complicated and depressed after hearing this.

Eiji of the Chanyuan is indeed as the director department said, powerful [absolutely penetrates], sinister [send gifts to his sister to warn him], and finally knows how to buy people's hearts [send magic tools to sweets], alas, Kusakabe Atsuya thought, He knew that this salary was not easy to get.

But since Yingji from the Chanyuan gave him a magic tool, why didn't he take it?The magic tools are also very expensive. He has to support his family now and has no money.

"...Thank you." Kusakabe Atsuya let out a long breath, with a smile on his face: "Please give me more advice in the future."

Ying Ji smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked: "Well, each other."

Seeing that the two students got along well, and Kusakabe Atsuya was injured, Noctua Masamori saw that the training class turned into explanations of spells and runes, such as how to set up the account, how to draw seal runes and so on.

Although Eiji couldn't use it, he listened very carefully. Although Kusakabe had a dojo master to teach swordsmanship, he was definitely not as good as a high school teacher in terms of spells.

For a while, the two of them concentrated on listening to the class, which gave Ye Mo Zhengdao an illusion: college teaching still has a sense of accomplishment.

The class ended at around [-]:[-] p.m., and Eiki asked Atsuya Kusakabe: "Have you got all your daily necessities ready? Do you want to go to the supermarket together?"

Atsuya Kusakabe politely refused: "No need, I'm a native of Tokyo, I have daily necessities at home, and I've already moved here."

Because there are very few students in the technical college and the dormitory is very empty, there is naturally a room for one person. Eiki found that Kusakabe's dormitory was far away from her. Eiki was at the front of the corridor, and Kusakabe's room was at the end of the corridor.

Since Kusakabe said that he didn't need help, Eiki simply read the textbooks in the dormitory.

... Don't forget, he still needs to take the final exam of Haze Middle School instead of his younger brother Shir.

Even though Zenyuan Shi Er doesn't like to study, if Ying Ji specifically reminds him to read a certain part of knowledge, Shi Er will still listen to Ying Ji's words and memorize a little bit.

Most of the content selected by Eiji is myths and legends in Chinese textbooks, the Tale of Genji, and some haiku. Eiji thinks that these long-legged things can easily become curse spirits. If he encounters them by accident, he can also know these The source of the spell.

An interesting thing happened during this time.

Shi Er suddenly excitedly said to Ying Ji: "I discovered a big secret!"

Eiji's eyes widened, and she looked at Shier who ran to the magic school in the middle of the night in disbelief.

Zenyuan Shier has 0 mana power, he strolled to the high school, as long as he avoids eyes and ears, he will naturally not be discovered.

"……What's up?"

It is obviously a very terrible secret that can make Shi Er so excited, Eiji thought.

Zenyuan Shi Er said excitedly: "Gambling is not a game of luck, but a game of mathematics!"

Yingji also showed a shocked expression after hearing this, which encouraged Shier very well, and Shier continued: "As long as I thoroughly study the probability in mathematics, I can win!"

Yingji applauded quickly: "Shen Er is really amazing! Then did you win?"

Shi Er's eyes drifted a little: "...the math test the day before yesterday, I took the test myself, and I only scored [-] points..."

After hearing this, Ying Ji didn't take it seriously: "You just started learning, and my math is not good, why don't you go to a training class? You don't need to take an exam, you just need to learn mathematics!"

The cost of the training course is nothing to the brothers.

Shi Er scratched his head: "Then I need to make it up from scratch."

Yingji encouraged Shier: "You can win money!"

Shi Er was a little confused: "I actually don't understand what the teacher said..."

Eiji continued to repeat: "You can win money!"

Shi Er said again: "If you start from the beginning, you will be surrounded by little furry children, and I am the only freshman in high school, this..."

Yingji emphasized her tone: "You can win money!"

Shi Er gritted his teeth and said, "You're right! I want to win!"

So Shier talked to Liang Jie and asked Liang Jie to help choose a tutor.

... After all, Zenyuan Shier couldn't do math tutoring with a group of kindergarten students, but it doesn't matter, he has money, so he can hire a tutor!

Zenyuan Liangjie heard that even Er wanted to study mathematics and hire a tutor. His whole body was struck by lightning: Is it going to rain red?Master Shi Er wants to take tutoring? !

Zenyuan Ryosuke didn’t know that the purpose of Shi’er’s tutoring was to go to the casino better, he just said based on Zenyuan Shi’er’s daily speculation: “Is it to play Go better? Yes, Go is also to some extent math game."

Zenyuan Shier was shocked after hearing this: "What? You need to be good at mathematics to play Go?!"

Zenyuan Liangjie nodded: "Yes, especially at the official stage, players need to count their own numbers. If the ending is too bad, it is not impossible to lose a good situation."

Zenyuan Shier gasped, thinking of the society he had lost, he couldn't help but think, why don't he go back to Tsutsui and ask?

Because Shier of the Zen Academy was immersed in mathematics, the textbook Yingji read recently also turned into mathematics.

But there is one thing to say, mathematics is really about talent, if you don't have talent in this area, reading textbooks is like reading a bible, let alone various calculation problems.

Yingji read it for a long time and became more and more sleepy. She could still understand elementary and junior high school textbooks. When she reached high school, Yingji had a hard time learning by herself and needed teacher guidance.

In the high school, Ye Mo Zhengdao is running around to exorcise curse spirits for his first-level conjurer qualification. Most of the other teachers are good at conjuration, and Yingji can only rely on himself.

He was dizzy from reading, in order to prevent himself from falling asleep, Yingji simply carried the textbook and ran to the slope grass behind the dormitory to read.

Kusakabe Atsushi also saw it, he hesitated a bit and ran over to find Eiji—at least he was still burdened with the task of observing Eiji at the Buddhist monastery, so he couldn't just fish for fish all the time.

Seeing Kusakabe Atsuya approaching, a light bulb lit up on Eiki's head.

"... Kusakabe, did you say you went to ordinary high school?" Eiki looked at Kusakabe Atsuya expectantly: "Then do you know how to do this question?"

Kusakabe Atsuya took the textbook handed over by Eiji and looked at it. He fell silent in the first year of mathematics.

After a long time, Kusakabe Atsuya said, "Of course I will, I have to take the exam before."

Yingji was overjoyed: "Then can you tutor me in mathematics?"

Atsushi Kusakabe was also taken aback. He thought for a few seconds and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you studying this? Do you want to apply for university directly after graduating from a junior college?"

Ying Ji's eyes widened slightly: "Can this be done?"

Kusakabe Atsuya said strangely, "Then why are you watching this?"

After listening to Kusakabe Atsuya's explanation, Eiji finally understood why Kusakabe Atsuya said that.

The Conjuration College is a religious school, with a five-year semester, which corresponds to the outside school year. In fact, it is the three years of high school and the first two years of university. In theory, students who graduate from the Conjuration College can directly apply for the junior year of other universities.

As long as the application is passed, the students of the Conjuration College will turn into juniors. They only need to go to university for two more years to get a university diploma.

"Of course, not many schools have this policy. Most of them are majors in religion. Even if you apply to university, you probably study theology or Buddhism."

Kusakabe Atsuya, as an ordinary person, has already thought about how to integrate with society in the future: "Unless your family has a shrine, you can go to learn it, otherwise there is no need for high school students to take this test. Besides, the usual tasks are already very heavy. Oh, and the task pay is more than ordinary office workers, and going to college is just to have a higher salary starting point."

Finally, Atsuya Kusakabe added: "If you want to go to a well-known university, such as Todai University and Waseda University, you still have to take the entrance examination and start studying from the freshman year."

Ying Ji was moved after hearing this.

"Kusakabe, you know a lot, do you want to go to university?"

Atsushi Kusakabe hesitated for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if I study or not. The tuition fee for university is also a lot of money, but I hope my younger sister can go to university. Her grades are good..."

Eiji encouraged Kusakabe Atsuya: "Your sister will definitely be able to do it. You are working hard for your sister, and she will definitely be able to take your ideals into college together!"

Kusakabe Toshiya's expression froze for a moment. Although he didn't want Zenyuan Eiji to pay attention to his sister, this sentence sounded very comfortable, so he twitched the corners of his mouth: "It depends on her. If she can pass the exam, I will Naturally, she will continue to study, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't pass the exam..."

Having said this, Kusakabe Totsuya's expression softened: "As long as she can be safe and happy."

Yingji nodded again and again, clasping his hands together, as if praying to an unknown god: "That's right, I hope my relatives are in good health and everyone can be happy~"

Ying Ji smiled brightly when he said this, and the afternoon sun fell on him, as if outlining a golden shadow for him.

Kusakabe Atsushi also saw this scene, and his fearful and vigilant heart softened a little.

He wondered if Yingji of the Chanyuan could say this to assure him that his sister would not be involved in the affairs of the magic world?

If this is the case, then it is not impossible to be a double agent yourself.

Perhaps because of the change in mood, Kusakabe Toshiya's attitude became a lot gentler. Noctua Masamichi gave the two of them a week to get acquainted, and then began to assign tasks to them.

Considering that Eiki was able to do the second-level mantra task long ago, but was stuck at the third level because of the lack of mana power, now with the help of Kusakabe who has plenty of mana power, Ye Mo Masamichi chose a second-level task and handed it over to the two. people.

"You guys have to be careful, don't separate, Kusakabe, follow Eiki closely, Eiki, keep an eye on Kusakabe, don't let him be dragged away by the curse spirit."

Ye Mozheng said: "I'm going to have a meeting with the director's department first, and then I'll watch outside the account. If you can't hold on anymore, just call me."

Eiki nodded again and again: "Yes, I will protect Kusakabe."

Kusakabe Atsuya would not be brave in the matter of expelling the curse spirit, he still wanted to go home alive, he also nodded: "I will stick to my Zenyuan classmates."

Yingji said casually: "Just call me by my first name. You will meet many Zen temples in the future, and you will not be able to tell the difference if you call them by my surname."

Kusakabe Atsuya is ashamed, so is this the reason why Noctua-sensei directly called Eiki by his name?

Kusakabe Atsuya immediately followed suit and said, "You can call me Atsuya, and the teacher is too."

The mission location is an old house in the suburbs of Tokyo. The owner of the house went back to the old house to worship his ancestors during the Chinese New Year, but died tragically in the house. After the police discovered the abnormality of the body, the case was transferred to the Director of Curse.

After window's investigation, it was preliminarily estimated that there was a second-level curse spirit entrenched in this house, so the task fell to Eiji and Kusakabe Atsuya.

Zenyuan Liangjie drove the two to the mission destination, and he gave them science popularization while driving.

"The family basically doesn't go back to the old house except for the first month. On weekdays, they ask other people in the village to help take care of the old house. However, the house has been empty for a long time, and there will always be children going in to play. Later, some children disappeared inside. The police Nothing was found through the investigation, and there are rumors in the village that there are monsters in that house who only eat children."

Zenyuan Liangjie said: "The owner of the house didn't know about this. He took his wife and children back to the mansion. The villagers saw that the owner of the house had been shutting the door, and they were afraid, so they called the police. As a result, several policemen went in to have a look. , found that they had been dead for several days, and their bodies were horrible."

Kusakabe Atsuya looked at the information, and asked Ryosuke, "Did the police enter the house when the child disappeared for the first time, and didn't they notify the owner?"

Zenyuan Liangjie explained: "We informed, but at that time the owner of the house was on a business trip, and it was his wife who was contacted. His wife refused the police to enter the ancestral house, saying that it would disturb the ancestors, and said that it is normal for children to run away. , she thinks that the villagers just want to find a reason to go to the ancestral house to make trouble."

After a pause, Zenyuan Liangjie said: "That family is a well-known local wealthy businessman, and there are indeed many antiques and valuables in the house."

Kusakabe Atsuya snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Curse spirits are monsters born of human negative emotions. To exorcise the curse spirits is actually to face the negative emotions of human beings. If people in this industry are not crazy and selfish, they will not live long.

He asked Yingji: "How to fight?"

Yingji said strangely: "How to fight what? Go in, find the curse spirit, kill it, and it's over."

Kusakabe Atsuya observed Eiji carefully, and asked carefully, "Don't you think it's strange? The ancestral house was fine, but the curse suddenly appeared. Could it be that the house and the family were actually cursed by the whole village? "

Yingji nodded: "It's very possible, but our task is to exorcise the curse spirits spawned by the whole village, isn't it? Just kill the curse spirits."

Kusakabe Atsuya was silent for a while before saying, "You're right."

He laughed at himself and said, "You have a better mentality than me."

Eiji laughed suddenly, he stretched out his hand and patted Kusakabe's head, so startled that Kusakabe subconsciously hid by the car window.

Eiji: "Human beings are very terrifying existences. I am not surprised that human beings do anything, but human beings are also very powerful, such as people like you."

Atsushi Kusakabe didn't quite understand what Eiki meant.

Seeming to see Kusakabe’s doubts, Eiji explained: “If the curse spirit and the person who caused the curse spirit are evil, then the existence of the magician is the good of human beings. There is no need to doubt or waver. Human beings can exorcise the curse spirit. , itself is doing good and eliminating evil.”

Kusakabe Atsuya stared blankly at the people around him, and he murmured, "Enhanced slash...?"

It was terrible, not only the curse spirit was cut off, but also the confusion in the heart. The person Yingji of the Chanyuan was a slash, clear, neat, clean, and never confused.

No wonder the Director Department is quite afraid of Zenyuan Yingji. Compared with Gojo Satoru, who is still in his infancy, this Zenyuan Yingji who has absolute severance has grown up, and his heart is clear and clear, without any troubles that young people would have.

The car quickly arrived at the destination, Eiji and Kusakabe Atsuya got off the car and looked at the mansion in front of them at the same time.

This is an old-fashioned Japanese-style courtyard, and the surrounding area has been cordoned off. The windows have been cleaned in advance, and only some villagers are watching from afar.

In Yingji's eyes, there is a gloomy and filthy atmosphere above this house, which obviously looks like a monster mark.

After Ryosuke arrived, he was handing over to the police, and he hadn't had time to release the loan, so Eiki looked at Kusakabe Atsuya, why was he in a daze?

Kusakabe Atsuya looked at Eiki, huh?Shall I go first?

Yingji: "You set up an account!"

Kusakabe Atsuya suddenly realized that yes, the only weakness of Zenyuan Eiki is that he has very little spell power and cannot perform spell-related enchantment techniques.

Kusakabe immediately set up the tent, and the whole space was dimmed. In the dim tent, Kusakabe was about to discuss with Eiki how to cast the curse spirit, but he was facing Eiki's eyes that became more and more shallow.

The dim light fell on Yingji's eyes, but it became colder and clearer, like a sharp knife about to be unsheathed.

Eiki ignored Kusakabe's expression, pointed in a certain direction and said, "This way."

Kusakabe hurriedly followed, he tentatively asked: "Do you have pupil skills?"

Ying Ji shook his head: "No, it's just that the feeling is more acute, the breath of the curse spirit is too obvious."

Kusakabe was ashamed. After setting up the tent, the whole space was filled with a cold and gloomy atmosphere. Even he knew that the curse spirit was inside, but he couldn't judge the specific location as accurately as Eiki.

"How do you judge?" Kusakabe tried to learn a little.

"Where it is more uncomfortable, it is more serious." Eiji replied.

Atsushi Kusakabe couldn't help but roll his eyes, he felt uncomfortable everywhere!

The Zenyuan house where Eiji lives is such a Japanese-style courtyard. It is easy for Eiji to find the correct exit and turning door in the corridor that seems to make people get lost.

Kusakabe Atsuya closely followed Eiji's pace, and after they walked around for about ten minutes, Eiji brought Kusakabe Atsuya to a building that was not particularly big but looked very simple.

Yingji stopped, looked around, bent down abruptly and knelt down, and lowered his head to look at the gap under the corridor.

Kusakabe Atsuya said softly, "Is there something down here?"

Yingji looked at it for a while before getting up: "There are a lot of things."

He sighed: "The rich businessman offered unclean things to ensure that the wealth will increase, but sacrifices are always required. There are many corpses here, and there is a corpse of a child whose clothes can barely be seen."

Atsushi Kusakabe immediately connected the cause and effect of the matter.

"It turns out that the ancestors of this family sacrificed their lives to ensure their own money. After this generation, the owner of the family moved to a big town in Tokyo. The sacrifice was cut off, and the things raised in it swallowed up the children who came here to play? "

Yingji grunted: "The villagers probably have speculations about this matter, otherwise negative emotions would not have given birth to a second-level curse spirit. In short, let's set the fire first."

Kusakabe Totsuya: "Huh? Set fire? Won't you go in?"

"Um, why are you going to the place of the curse spirit?"

With the veteran of Zen Yuan Shi Er, Ying Ji has also learned a lot, and the fighting methods are very modern: "First set fire to the house, and the things inside will definitely rush out. If you block it, I will take the opportunity to kill you with a knife. The task It's over."
