The mountain roads on the outskirts of the Tokyo metropolitan area are quiet and deserted.

Yuko Takagi, a first-year transfer student at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School, is frantically running down a side street, using the magic power she has barely managed to muster to strengthen her body, following the map navigation on her phone to seek help from the Jujutsu High School.

Behind her, a figure was hot on her heels, even having the leisure to play a cat-and-mouse game with Takagi Yuko, the young girl who was new to the world of sorcery.

"You are a lucky and unlucky child, little girl, but don't worry, I will soon save you from the misfortune of a sorcerer."

The chilling sound echoed through the forest, stimulating Yuko Takagi's mind. This fear and unease also made the magical power surging within Yuko Takagi's body even more active.

Little did they know that their every move during the chase along the mountain path was being observed by Lin Yi, who was standing on a hilltop several kilometers away.

Lin Yi stood on the hilltop, bow drawn and arrow pulled back, the string as full as a moon.

All the magical power surging through his body was gathered into the arrow on the bowstring. The concentration of the magical power made Miguel and Laru, who were watching the show from the side, twitch their eyelids.

They couldn't understand how an unreasonable sorcerer and spell like Lin Yi could exist.

Under his usual disguise, Lin Yi possesses a keen intuition to sense fluctuations in spell power and spell spirits, as well as physical qualities comparable to a level two spellcaster with enhanced spell power.

In its first form, Lin Yi can construct disposable magical artifacts for long-range attacks beyond visual range. Without the constraint of having to construct permanent magical artifacts, Lin Yi has become a walking ammunition depot.

If some shrewd person thinks Lin Yi is a ranged marksman, he can use his magical power to enhance his physical abilities and fight you.

When he realized that his enhanced physical abilities from the cursed power were no longer enough to win in a boxing match, he could seamlessly switch to his close-combat form, Heaven and Tyrant Kamen Rider.

Complete immunity to cursed attacks below level one, and damage reduction based on a percentage of the output intensity for cursed attacks of level one and above. Combined with a permanent cursed artifact, the Kamen Rider Joker suit, which is bound to the body and soul, and the Rider Punch and Rider Kick with hidden black flashes in the basic attack, if you are not careful, you will lose all your health and owe the other party half a health bar.

This is still the attack method before the opponent has mastered the domain expansion. Who knows how this technique will change once the opponent masters the domain expansion that guarantees a hit within the domain.

But considering that sorcerers are inherently an unreasonable group, the two felt relieved.

Lin Yike didn't have as many inner thoughts as the Black and White Impermanence watching the show beside him. He knew his own situation. His spells were good, but his current strength was only in the range of level one to special level.

In his sorcerer form, the highest single-target damage is only equivalent to a grenade launcher, far less than the Pure Love Cannon of the Pure Love God of War, Yuta Etotsu, and certainly not comparable to Gojo Satoru's Technique: Azure, Technique: Reversal: He, or Void Technique: Zi.

The quantity is just quite sufficient.

It's enough to allow him to use his single-target skills like a Gatling gun to sweep and suppress enemies.

Fortunately, the curse master sent by Lu Suo wasn't a particularly powerful character. Judging from the impact of the curse power he had just experienced, he was only between level two and level one. In fact, if you remove the four special-grade curse masters—Gojo Satoru, Otsukotsu Yuta, Natsume Yuki, and Tsukumo Yuki—level one curse masters are the main force for exorcising cursed spirits.

Level one sorcerers aren't exactly commonplace. Without releasing the ancient sorcerers he's accumulated over millennia, where would Lu Suo find so many high-level fighters to use?

That one arrow is enough.

As Lin Yi released the bowstring, the arrow, imbued with magical power, instantly pierced the air. Locked in by Lin Yi's magical power, it arrived at the back of the cursed master who was chasing Takagi Yuko in just a few seconds. Only then did a sonic boom, breaking the speed of sound, come from Lin Yi's side.

"boom!"

A flash of light appeared, and a loud explosion echoed from afar.

Lin Yi didn't check his spoils. He knew that the curse master sent by Lu Suo was definitely not going to survive. You think you can survive being attacked from behind? Do you think you're Gojo Satoru?

"Alright, tell Xia Youjie about the situation here. If someone else really makes a move against the High School of Spellcasting, he, as an outstanding dropout of the High School of Spellcasting, should also do something."

"Ichi-chan, you're becoming more and more like family to us. By the way, once you master the Domain Deployment and Reversal Techniques, do you think you can beat Gojo Satoru?"

Having witnessed the power of Lin Yi's sorcerer form up close, Laru, the white foreigner, also teased Lin Yi with a touch of familiarity.

Lin Yi didn't want to answer; in the Jujutsu Kaisen world, no one who answered this question ever had a good ending.

After Gojo Satoru finished answering, Sukuna cleaved him into two and a half Gojo Satoru with a spatial slash.

If he answers, Gojo Satoru might use his Hollow Style: Zi to reduce him from a Forest One to a Forest Five, or even less than a Forest Five, and directly reduce him to zero!

"Ichi-chan's eyes are really scary. Let's not ask anymore. Miguel, go back and tell Jay."

Seeing the displeased look from Lin Yi, Laru decisively raised his hands in surrender and called Miguel, who was standing by, to go back and report, but Lin Yi stopped him.

"Laru, could you please ask Xia Youjie if he knows any sorcerers who specialize in making magical artifacts? I want to have one made."

"Ichi-chan, do you really need magical tools for a spell like this?"

"It's for my disguise form. It doesn't need to have many functions, just one: to absorb the magical energy in the air and attach it to my bullets. I will pay for the cost of making such a magical artifact with a reward."

Lin Yi glanced at the Colt python hanging inside his lining and realized that he lacked certain methods of dealing with curse masters or cursed spirits when he was in disguise.

If I could be a spell-wielder like Zenin Maki, I wouldn't need to put on a special show today.

A curse master between level two and level one can be easily dealt with in his normal state under his disguise. Even if he is no match for him, he can use spells to counterattack if he has an information advantage.

"Ichi-chan really knows how to consider things. Okay, I'll talk to Jay about it."

After teasing Lin Yi, Laru left with Miguel.

Seeing that everything was settled, Lin Yi stretched and slid down the hillside with his hands in his pockets. Now it was up to the people from the Spellcasting Academy to clean up the mess, and he had to play his role well.

Lin Yi glanced at the body that had fallen off the road unharmed and sighed helplessly.

"So I had to resort to a self-inflicted injury ruse after all that, damn it!"

Half an hour later, at the entrance of the tunnel leading to the Tokyo Jujutsu Academy, Takagi Yuko, who had gone to the academy for help, along with Principal Yagura Masamichi and his staff, had taken over the area.

Zenin Maki and the others, who were not injured in the trap set by Rōsō, also arrived at the scene by car.

"Yuko!"

"Maki, I'm here."

Yuko Takagi, who was in grave danger, waved to Maki Zenji and the others who were concerned about her, while Lin Yi lay on a stretcher, groaning and moaning.

This isn't acting; it's real pain.

To avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion from those skilled in sorcery, he slapped himself twice and is now playing the victim, wailing in pain.
