Spell Upgrade System

The next day, the Kyoto Magic Association sent people to the high school to pick up Shikatori Hiiragi.

Tokyo and Kyoto are in Kanto and Kansai, and it takes at least six hours to get there even on the highway. She set off in the morning, and it was almost after lunch when she arrived at the magic spell meeting.

The reception of the magic society can be regarded as warm.

The start time of the meeting was set at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was past one o'clock at this time. Of course, the people of the magic society would not let Shikatori Hiiragi, who came from afar, go hungry. The maid brought it not long after she arrived. Kaiseki, for lunch.

Shikatori Hiiragi had only eaten such expensive food when she was a child. Although the portion was a bit much for her, she was afraid of wasting it, so she ate it all.

I don't know if they made the timing or what happened. When Shikatori Hiiragi was eaten, the temperature was just right, and it was very satisfying to eat.

Shikatori Hiiragi ate neither fast nor slow, but after eating, there was still some time left before the meeting, so he wandered around the yard alone.

The spell in Kyoto can make people feel deserted, and it was the same when she came last time. Except for Leyansi Jiashin, she has never seen anyone else.

However, it may also be because the place is really too big. Although the occupied area is not as large as that of the High School of Conjuration, it is normal to not see people wandering around in the yard. After all, not everyone is as idle as she is now.

After wandering aimlessly for an unknown amount of time, Shikatori Hiiragi found a figure not far away.

The black-haired boy was wearing a dark-colored wide-sleeved haori, lined with a white undergarment, and his eyes were raised. He clearly had a youthful face, but he seemed to be a little aggressive.

When seeing her, the other party's footsteps seemed to pause slightly, and then immediately returned to normal, but Shikatori Hiiragi did not miss the other party's small movements at that moment.

Both of them walked on the path in the forest as if nothing had happened. As the figure enlarged, the distance between them gradually approached.

Shikatori Hiiragi wanted to turn her head to look at the scene, pretending not to see him, but at the next moment, a saber light flashed in front of her, and she quickly dodged back. Couldn't touch her.

The young man seemed to be holding a small dagger that was convenient for hiding. Judging from the speed of the knife, the other party had probably attacked others in this way many times, without hesitation or hesitation.

The two sabers failed, and the young man let out a slightly displeased "Tsk", just about to raise his feet and rush forward to make another saber attack, but stopped when he heard a harsh voice.

"Naoya!!"

The Chanyuan fan appeared behind the young man at some point, and shouted at him fiercely.

Zenyuan Naozai's body trembled, and he only dared to turn his face slightly to observe the other person's face from the corner of his eye, but even if he didn't look at it, he knew that Zenyuan Fan's face must be very bad now.

Zenyuan Naoya gritted his teeth, turned his head away, and squeezed out a word between his teeth: "Why, fan... Uncle, are you protecting her too?"

The young man habitually called Zenyuan Fan by his name, but he reluctantly added the word "Uncle" after seeing the other person's expression.

The Chanyuan fan still said sharply: "This is not something you should participate in."

Zenyuan Naozai is very upset.

"Why? Even the future patriarch of the Buddhist monastery can't do it? Is there anything that needs to be kept from me?"

"..."

"One by one, what is the need to praise this kind of woman who doesn't even know the rules? She is just a woman no matter what..."

Chan Yuan Fan frowned: "Don't go too far."

Zenyuan Naozai saw that the situation was not good, so he reluctantly stopped: "... Tch."

Zenyuan Naoya is a male chauvinist. Since childhood, he felt that women are just accessories of men, and that women should follow three steps away from men when walking. This is called knowing the rules.

The Chanyuan family belonged to a feudal family, and they also didn't like to see women. This was a very comfortable living environment for him.

But I don't know when, maybe in the last few days, Zenyuan Naoya always felt that a woman's name would appear in his ears from time to time.

Shikatori Hiiragi.

Who is she?

After quietly inquiring about it, Zenin Naoya found out that the guy named Shikatori Hiiragi is a wild magician who has been active in Kanagawa recently.

Because that person's removal of the curse spirit was too comprehensive, the magicians stationed in Kanagawa were almost unemployed for a while.

He had actually heard of the rumored wild magician, but he really didn't expect that the one hiding under the cloak was actually a woman.

And she was a woman who looked about his age!

Chanyuanou looked at Shikatori Hiiragi, and said, "Your Excellency Shikatori, you don't have to pay attention to Naoya's nonsense, he's just a playful child."

Shikatori Hiiragi blinked, and for a while didn't know how to answer the words, so he could only respond first: "...ah, okay."

In fact, she is still a little confused until now. Although she has already noticed that something is wrong, it is true, but she really did not expect the other party to make such a move in such a bright way. This is the headquarters of the Magic Society. okay?

Relying on Superman's reflexes and body agility to avoid the boy's two extremely fast blows, a man with a samurai ponytail suddenly appeared on the opposite side.

The total time is only two seconds.

Shikatori Hiiragi couldn't digest what the young man said, she could see that the other party was a patriarch. If she thought about it this way, she might be dissatisfied with the warm hospitality of the mantra.

However, the man's words were even more puzzling to her.

He clearly respected her so much when he spoke to her, why did he say that the boy was a playful child?They look like they should be about the same size.

"The meeting is about to start, please return to the main house as soon as possible and wait."

The man said so, and then left without looking back.

Chanyuan Naoya turned her head and glared at her, but left behind the man in the next second. From his walking movements, it can be seen that he is currently in a state of extreme dissatisfaction, and the whole person is full of anger.

Shikatori Hiiragi frowned, feeling that he couldn't understand such a person, turned his head and walked in the opposite direction.

The meeting of the Kyoto Magic Association was held promptly at two o'clock in the afternoon.

...as it should have been.

In the quiet and elegant interior, the only faces familiar to Shikatori Hiiragi are Rakuyanji Kashin and the ponytailed man who appeared before. The people sitting here are either burly middle-aged people or elderly people who are elderly.

A cup of hot tea was placed in front of everyone, but except for a few people, this cup of tea was almost useless.

After all, in such a hot weather, no one would like to drink steaming tea except those who love it.

Shikatori Hiiragi took a sip, good tea.

In the entire Japanese room, there was no young man except her.

Nearly 5 minutes had passed since the time was set at two o'clock, but the meeting had not started. Under such an atmosphere, Shikatori Hiiragi only felt that time passed very slowly, and even felt that he was getting old soon.

In the stalemate atmosphere, Shikatori Hiiragi didn't know how long it had been, someone suddenly opened the door of the Japanese room, he walked in swaggeringly with a gourd in his hand, and found an empty place to sit down.

Seeing him, Leyan Temple Jiashen said, "It's too late."

The man didn't speak, but raised his head almost wildly and took a sip of wine. The aroma of tea in the room seemed to be replaced by the smell of alcohol in an instant.

The meeting officially began. At the beginning, a new notice was read out by someone, and then the discussion session that Shikatori Hiiragi couldn't understand began.

To tell the truth, she couldn't figure out what was the use of calling her here.

She has just joined the conjuration society for a few days, and she is not clear about various matters or the conjuration. She will never get any right to speak in the meeting, and she has nothing to publish.

Shikatori Hiiragi only thinks that this is a meeting where all the members of the Kyoto Magic Association must be present. Even if she is only a bystander, she should sit here for the whole process.

"Little girl, what do you think?"

Realizing that the conversation had suddenly been shifted to herself, Shikatori Hiiragi almost lost her hand holding the teacup. She put down the teacup, and then looked at Rakuganji Kashin who was asking her questions.

Shikatori Hiiragi thought about it, and said with a guilty conscience: "I think... it should be dealt with as soon as possible."

Now we are talking about the special-grade cursed object "Two-faced Suno's fingers" scattered throughout Japan.

Because it is too evil and has a strong curse breath, most curse spirits are almost afraid to approach it, and it is usually placed in schools or hospitals, where there are more negative emotions of human beings, as a curse dispersing item.

However, in recent years, because the seal has gradually weakened, just putting it there may attract curse spirits, and it is in an extremely unstable state, which is extremely dangerous.

Shikatori Hiiragi didn't listen to their discussion very carefully, she couldn't understand, and she could only understand things in general, so she could only answer according to her own ideas.

Since it's a dangerous thing, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible. For her, it's nothing to consider.

A few seconds later, someone asked her: "Little girl, did you just join the club a few days ago?"

"Yes." Shikatori Hiiragi tensed up a little.

At this time, another old man suddenly answered: "You are still young and energetic. If this is the case, I will leave this matter to you."

Shikatori Hiiragi: "???"

Why does it feel like she has cheated herself? ?

After the meeting, Shikatori Hiiragi received his first task after joining the Kyoto Curse Society.

It's not the simple task of exorcising the curse spirit that she usually does, but to find and recover the special curse object "Two-faced Nuo's Finger". Since it is currently in an undetectable state, the scope may directly expand to the whole of Japan.

Considering that Shikatori Hiiragi is still studying in a high school, he only needs to perform missions in Tokyo for the time being. There is no mission deadline, and the rewards are extremely rich after the mission is successful.

Looking at the last point, Shikatori Hiiragi thinks it is not impossible.

After she took over this task, Leyan Temple Jiashen asked her if she had any needs, and the spell club would try to satisfy them as much as possible.

Hearing this question, Shikatori Hiiragi was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, and said, "If possible, I hope that my identity can be kept secret."

Especially for college students.

Although it's only been two days, Shikatori Hiiragi has already felt that she and her classmates are not equal in strength, so she controls the amount of cards used, and she will not use the skills they have seen before in the high school, such as "curse line" Manipulation" or she'd be off the hook.

As for why...

One is because Shikatori Hiiragi hopes that he can be more social, and it would be nice to be a middle-level player in the high school.

The second is because she didn't want Gojo Satoru to know that she was actually the culprit who beat him up and even made him behave like a cat.

This matter is really super important, okay? ?

But fortunately, Leyan Temple Jiashen readily said yes.

And it was only then that Shikatori realized that the person who attacked her in the woods today was the head of the Chanyuan family—that is, the son of the one who was late for the meeting, Zenyuan Naoya.

The patriarch laughed heartily when he found out about this, and he didn't ask Zenyuan Naoya to apologize to her, but only said that his son Naoya was the same age as her, and if he was not in a hurry to go back, he would play with him in Kyoto for two days.

Shikatori Hiiragi understood, it turned out that their family from top to bottom agreed that he was a child.

The fan of the Zen Academy on the side added expressionlessly: "It is Naoya who has applied for a duel with you, Your Excellency."

Shikatori Hiiragi: "...?"

duel?

...is it really all right?
