Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

Kokichi took the towel and wrapped it around his body.

He stood up, turned around, and faced Youren.

Then he knelt down.

His knee slammed against the metal mesh with a dull thud.

He braced himself with his hands on the ground, his forehead slamming heavily against the cold metal plate.

“Mr. Kasuga…I don’t know how to thank you…” His voice choked, and he could barely utter a complete sentence:

"From this day forward, my life belongs to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Yu Ren bent down, reached out and supported his shoulder, pulling him up.

"Get up." Yu Ren's tone was calm. "I'm not helping you so you can be my slave."

He helped Yukichi up; her eyes were red-rimmed and her lips were still trembling.

"Just stay alive," Yuuto said. "Go on missions when needed, and I'll contact you if I need anything."

Kokichi nodded vigorously, and tears fell again.

The two walked out of the basement, the sunlight so bright that Yukichi couldn't open his eyes.

He squinted, shielding his forehead with his hand, feeling the warmth of the sunlight on his skin.

"It's so warm..." he murmured, his voice filled with a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.

Yuuto stood beside him and waited for him to adjust to the light before speaking: "There's something I'd like to ask you."

Yukichi immediately turned his head and looked at him seriously: "Please speak."

“While you’re in Kyoto, please look after two people for me,” Yuuto said. “Miwa Kasumi and Nishimiya Momo. It’s nothing serious, just keep an eye on their safety.”

"If they encounter a situation they can't handle, lend a hand."

Kokichi paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Understood. I will protect them."

As Yuuto walked back to the Kyoto school, several thoughts raced through his mind.

The discovery that Dual Hands could bypass the rules of Heaven and the Curse gave him many ideas.

Could the same method be used to solve the problems of Maki and Mai?

The remaining trace of cursed power within Maki is the only obstacle preventing her from becoming a true tyrant.

However, due to the limitation of twins sharing magical power, Zhenyi's construction technique can only construct objects the size of bullets.

If he could use his dual hands to break the magical bond between the twins, allowing them to each gain their full power...

Yuuto was a man of action, so he immediately stopped and turned to walk towards Nishimiya Momo's residence.

He planned to go to Zhenyi first, since he had never met her before, so he planned to ask Nishimiya Momo to act as an intermediary.

Nishimiya Momo was hanging clothes out to dry in the yard.

She changed into a cream-colored cotton loungewear dress, the hem of which reached mid-thigh, revealing a section of her fair and slender legs.

Her light golden twin ponytails shimmered softly in the sunlight, and wisps of hair near her temples fluttered gently in the breeze. She

She was barefoot, walking on the cobblestone path, her toes round and pink, her insteps soft and slender.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up, saw Yuuto, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Why are you here again?" Her tone carried a hint of arrogance, but the smile in her eyes was unmistakable.

"I need your help." Yuuto walked up to her. "Is Makoto here?"

Nishimiya Momo blinked: "Why are you looking for her?"

"Something came up."

Xi Gongtao didn't ask any more questions. She put down the clothes in her hand, bent down to put on her shoes, and then took out a small crossbody bag from the house, slung it across her body, and patted the dust off her skirt.

"Let's go, she's in the archives."

Chapter 107 Numerous Threats: Calamity Cursed Spirits, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse... (The following chapters are all combined into one).

Yuuto and Momo walked side by side on the tree-lined path of Kyoto School.

Nishimiya Momo linked arms with Yuuto, resting her head gently on his shoulder, practically hanging on him.

Her light golden twin ponytails swayed gently in the breeze, the ends brushing against Yu Ren's arms, tickling her.

Nishimiya Momo didn't say a word the whole way, but a faint smile remained on her lips.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the two people.

The archives room is on the second floor of the administration building, at the end of the corridor. Pushing open the door, you'll find the room filled with books and files, and the air is thick with the smell of old paper.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the rows of yellowed spines on the bookshelf, with dust particles floating slowly in the beams of light.

A young girl sat at a long table, with several thick stacks of folders in front of her. She held a pen in her hand and was writing something on a form.

She wore a black suit jacket from Kyoto School, with a white shirt underneath, a narrow black tie, black suit trousers of the same color, and a black leather belt with a sword around her waist.

She had short hair with slightly curled ends, and a few strands of hair fell down from her forehead, covering half of her eyebrows.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up, her deep purple eyes sweeping over Nishimiya Momo before landing on Yuuto.

"Lord Kasuga, is there something you need?" His tone was a mixture of surprise and caution.

Nishimiya Momo shrugged, released Yuuto's arm, and leaned against the doorframe: "He's looking for you."

Shinichi had long heard of Yuuto, the top-tier sorcerer and fourth seat of the Sword-Holding Academy.

But she never expected that such an important person would take the initiative to contact her.

After all, she was practically invisible, and her combat strength wasn't particularly strong. Most of the time, she had to team up with Toudou Aoi to complete missions without losing her life.

Yu Ren walked over to her and pulled up a chair to sit down. He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I'm here to help you break the twin curse."

Zhenyi was stunned for a moment, completely unable to believe it: "Are you kidding me?"

“I never joke,” Yuuto replied calmly.

Zhenyi stared at him for a few seconds, her deep purple eyes filled with complex emotions.

She was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "...What are the conditions?"

"We'll discuss the conditions later." Yuuto stretched out his hand, a ball of light shining from his palm. "Let me see your situation first."

Zhenyi bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out.

Half an hour later, thanks to the miraculous healing skills of the great physician Haruhi Yuujin, who used his dual-wielding technique to ruthlessly manipulate the soul, Mayi's twin curse was finally lifted.

However, Mai's strength is still a concern.

After the curse was lifted, her total magical power did not increase much, and her understanding of spellcasting was far less powerful than that of Vanna.

It can only be said that someone did a good deed, but the effect was limited. Yu Ren felt that this was so bad that she didn't even bother to impose any restrictions on her.

After leaving May's residence, Yuuto took out his phone and sent a message to Maki: "Come to Kyoto when you have time. I can help you solve your troubles."

Maki's reply was just one word: "Okay".

Yuuto put away his phone, asked Momo Nishimiya to show him the way to Noriyuki Kamo's place, then said goodbye to her and went alone.

Kamo Kenki's residence is a detached old-style Japanese house.

The courtyard was small, paved with gravel, with several neatly trimmed pine trees and a few bamboo stalks planted in the corner. A faint scent of sandalwood wafted in the air.

Yu rang the doorbell, and the door opened shortly after.

Noriyuki Kamo stood at the door, wearing a dark kimono with a wide sash around his waist.

His hair was neatly combed, his face was thin, and his eyes were steady. When he saw Youren, he was clearly taken aback for a moment, and then quickly stepped aside.

"Mr. Kasuga, please come in."

Yu Ren nodded, changed his shoes, and followed him into the living room.

The living room was small, with a low table on the tatami mat, on which sat a tea set and a stack of documents.

Xianji invited Youren to sit down, then knelt opposite him and skillfully brewed tea.

"How have you been lately?" Yuuto asked casually as he took the teacup.

"Thanks to you, things have gone relatively smoothly." Xianji's tone was calm, but there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "The reconstruction of the family is on track. Although there are far fewer people, those who remain are willing to work."

Yu Ren took a sip of tea and nodded.

Kamo Noriyuki was the son of the previous head of the Kamo family and a concubine.

The birth mother had a very low status in the family and was neglected and oppressed by the main wife and her own family for a long time.

The patriarch's wife was never able to give birth to a boy who could inherit the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique, and the other direct descendants were also extremely useless.

Xianji was born with a magical ability and was forcibly adopted by the family's principal wife. They lied to the outside world that he was the legitimate son and made him a candidate for the next head of the family.

To avoid jeopardizing her son's future, the birth mother voluntarily left the Kamo family, thus separating mother and son. On her deathbed, the birth mother named him Kenki, a name that sounds the same as Kamo Kenrin, the most wicked sorcerer in the history of the Kamo family.

This was her revenge against her family, and it became a shadow over Xianji's entire life.

For the sake of his mother and the position of head of the family, the young man was extremely self-disciplined and entered the Kyoto High School of Spellcasting as the eldest son of the third family.

He could have been exempted from the exams because of his family background, but he took the initiative to study, wanting to gain recognition through his own abilities and make his mother proud.

Under intense family pressure, he became calm, rational, and extremely self-disciplined, making taking charge of the family and saving his mother his sole goals in life.

After Yuuto purged the Kamo family and wiped out most of their main fighting force, Kenki and the remaining people began the reconstruction work.

He is now the official head of the Kamo family.

After the two talked for a long time, Youren said to him, "Take me to see the current clan territory."

The Kamo family's current ancestral land is not in its former location, but has been relocated.

After all, everything has to start anew, and choosing the same old location for the important clan territory would be somewhat inappropriate.

After hearing Yuuto's request, Kenji nodded and got up to lead the way.

The two left the house and took a car to the Kamo family's current residence.

The residence is located in an old residential area in the western suburbs of Kyoto. The gray and white walls stretch for hundreds of meters, and a plaque with the name "Kamo" hangs at the entrance. It is not grand, but it is clean and tidy.
