Why is my anime art style so weird?

The butler inadvertently saw its license plate, which was an incredibly strange number: Tokyo 44, 44-44.

Impossible! How could such a thing happen?!

Large beads of sweat began to slowly slide down the butler's forehead.

Its unique shape and color scheme clearly identify it as the famous AE86!

Just then, a sharp turn of about ninety degrees suddenly appeared ahead.

The AE86, which had been quietly following behind the Cadillac, suddenly made a move.

It accelerated and began to slowly run alongside the Cadillac.

The butler couldn't help but look towards the driver's seat.

However, they discovered that both the side windows and the front windows of the AE86 were completely dark, making it impossible to see inside.

Doesn't he ever look where he's going?!

The butler thought with some alarm.

At that moment, the middle-aged man's sinister voice inexplicably echoed in his mind.

'If I lose to him, my soul will be taken away...'

There have been five or six car accidents on Mount Akina this month...

Is everything he said true?

No! Regardless of whether what he said is true or not!

We must not let the young ladies get into danger!

This is the decorum of a butler!

And... the glory of a former professional race car driver!

The butler's expression turned serious. He abruptly ripped off the bow tie at his collar, gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand, and placed the other on the gear shift.

An inexplicable aura burst forth from this aged body.

The old butler, who always had a kind smile, seemed to have changed...

At this moment, the AE86 was less than a car length behind the Cadillac. The butler could even clearly see a row of large characters printed on the AE86 through the car window: "Fujiwara Tofu Shop".

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the AE86 will completely overtake the Cadillac at the sharp 90-degree turn ahead.

What's more troublesome is that, judging from the current positions of the two cars, the Cadillac is on the outer edge, and the distance between the two cars will increase further when cornering!

How could I possibly lose to you!

The butler slammed on the gas pedal and simultaneously shifted gears at the perfect moment.

The Cadillac jolted violently, as if being dragged forward by something, instantly taking the lead of the AE86 by half a car length, and the gap continued to widen.

The specially modified helicopter engine roared fiercely.

AE86 seemed to have no idea that the other side would suddenly reveal their hand.

Before they could react, the two cars quickly separated.

In just a few seconds, the Cadillac once again took the lead by a car length over the AE86.

The butler gritted his teeth and used a drastic measure, forcibly turning the steering wheel to the right and swerving the AE86 behind him.

The AE86 slowed down slightly, allowing the Cadillac to take the inside lane.

Squeak~!

A screeching sound of friction filled the air as the two cars executed a beautiful drift, hurtling past the sharp right-angle bend.

The butler had just breathed a sigh of relief.

Now I should shake them off...

He turned his head and saw the AE86, like a persistent ghost, appearing behind the Cadillac on its left.

And the AE86 actually closed the gap to the distance of a car's tail!

What's wrong with this guy?!

The butler was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Butler, what happened?"

The Cadillac suddenly accelerated, making it difficult to maintain stability, and the swaying woke up the two sisters in the back seat.

Chapter 406 AE86 VS Cadillac

Kato Megumi's calm voice echoed in the classroom, and Xu Ming felt a chill run down his spine, unsure whether it was because of her words or because of her.

At this moment, in the darkness, half of Kato Megumi's face was shrouded in the blood-red moonlight, while the other half remained hidden in the darkness, giving rise to a strange and eerie feeling.

She seemed oblivious to the strange expression on Xu Ming's face and continued talking.

"...But because the incident happened so suddenly, the association was completely unprepared, so it had to make do with what was available."

So the great Onmyoji Tsuchimikado Akimitsu came up with an idea: using the Five Elements Magatama as the array's core, he would offer the souls of some of the deceased villagers as sacrifices to establish nodes and form a seal, thereby sealing the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The classroom fell silent for a moment.

Xu Ming frowned. The Exorcist Association's choice at the time seemed cruel, but it was, after all, a stopgap measure under emergency circumstances.

Moreover, it was precisely because of the sacrifice of a large number of exorcists that the nine-tailed fox was successfully sealed.

It's important to remember that Konoha isn't far from Tokyo. If a weapon of mass destruction like the Nine-Tailed Fox were to enter Tokyo, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, in a sense, the people of Konoha are not innocent.

They were the ones who tried to control the nine-tailed fox, but they messed things up.

This is equivalent to illegally manufacturing a bomb and ending up blowing yourself up.

Of course, most importantly, from Xu Ming's perspective, it's not appropriate for him to make any comment on this matter.

He was neither a descendant of Konoha nor a descendant of the exorcists who sacrificed their lives back then; he was merely a bystander who came later.

Having figured this out, Xu Ming stopped worrying, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

There's no time to regret what's happened in the past.

Our efforts now are for the future.

A hint of appreciation appeared on Kato Megumi's calm face.

"let us start."

As she spoke, Kato Megumi placed a small box she was carrying on the ground.

Then she formed a hand seal with one hand, making several complex hand gestures.

The paper talisman on the box immediately burst into flames, followed by a soft click as the lid popped open, revealing the contents inside.

Xu Ming immediately noticed six polished, smooth, and exquisite jade ornaments neatly arranged on the black velvet inside the box.

Earthy yellow, turquoise, orange-red, azure, golden yellow, and a special piece of transparent colorless.

The five colored magatama pieces presumably correspond to the five elements. As for the transparent one, we can use the process of elimination to know that it is specifically designed for the Nine-Tailed Fox's true form.

At this moment, Kato Megumi looked up at Xu Ming.

Her expression was serious and earnest, and influenced by her, Xu Ming subconsciously straightened his body.

"Ming, now I will explain to you the detailed steps for reinforcing the sealing nodes."

"it is good."

Xu Ming nodded.

Kato Megumi began to explain in detail.

"I will exchange this prepared 'Earth Jewel' with the 'Earth Jewel' in the array eye, and the 'Earth Essence' in the array eye will overflow at that moment."

However, at this time the Earth Array Eye is in an unstable state, requiring me to continuously cast spells to suppress it.

So the rest is up to you.

You need to collect all the scattered 'Essence of Earth' within one hour from this ninja academy.

The 'Essence of Earth' can transform into anything, but don't worry, that thing will definitely be the most special. With your perception, you can easily discover it as soon as you get close.

The most important thing is to act quickly.

Kato Megumi suddenly stopped speaking here, staring intently at Xu Ming.

"Ming, can I trust you?"

Xu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Of course, you can always trust me."

The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.

However, the shadow behind Xu Ming fluctuated violently at that moment...

After explaining the steps, Kato Megumi immediately got to work.

She slowly raised the Kagura bell and began to gently shake it.

Accompanied by the crisp and melodious sound of the bell, ripples of transparent light spread through the air, as if the sound had pierced through space and reached an unknown place.

Gradually, the ringtone began to become rhythmic, and Xu Ming felt as if his heart was beating in rhythm with it.

Kato Megumi also began to dance, holding a Kagura bell in her hand. Sometimes she would offer the bell out with both hands, as if toasting the void; sometimes she would pull it back to her chest, kneeling in prayer; sometimes she would wave one hand, drawing graceful and mysterious trajectories in the air...

Kato Megumi's Kagura dance conveys a sense of dedication amidst its graceful tranquility.

This may be the essence of Kagura dance.

A dance performed solely to please the gods.

At the same time, Xu Ming also witnessed a unique Kato Megumi, a perfect shrine maiden.

The sound of Kagura bell echoed continuously in the classroom. With each ring, the yellowish-brown light in the center of the classroom trembled slightly, as if a heart had been activated.

As the Kagura dance drew to a close, the golden patterns on the surface of the earth-yellow light gradually stopped rotating.

Megumi Kato stopped dancing.
