"Is Xi'er a special-grade sorcerer?"

Fushiguro was a little surprised. Although he knew that the curse in Seele was very powerful, wasn't the curse in Yuji also powerful? That wasn't how special grades were rated.

"You didn't come to training this morning, so I don't know."

Gojo Satoru explained: "Don't look at Xiao Xi'er like this. In fact, even if we don't release the other her, she still has the power to remove special-grade cursed spirits~"

“It’s really surprising…”

Fushiguro looked at Amber again and couldn't imagine that such an introverted and gentle girl could be such a powerful sorcerer.

After all, powerful sorcerers are somewhat abnormal.

The three of them chatted outside while waiting for the two people inside to come out and resolve the issue.

The main test target this time was not actually Japanese knotweed, but wild roses that came from the countryside to the big city.

Compared to the countryside, big cities have greater pressure and more people, and the cursed spirits are generally much stronger. At the same time, whether Wild Rose, who has a certain degree of wisdom and can deal with the cursed spirits in the countryside, can keep up with the pace of Tokyo, this is what Gojo Satoru wants to see.

It doesn't mean that you should drop out of school if you can't keep up. After all, sorcerers are very rare. It mainly affects the sorcerer's rating and the subsequent mission status.

Fortunately, neither of them's performance disappointed Gojo Satoru. Although Nobara was not very good at single combat and lacked physical skills and stamina, her techniques were rare and powerful.

As long as someone can create a situation where the enemy is injured, whether it is limbs or blood, she can use this to cause damage to the enemy. It can be said that she is a very powerful harvester and back-row output.

The only drawback is that her combat effectiveness as a single person is relatively limited. It's okay in a crushing game, but it's a bit difficult to fight in a balanced game. In a disadvantageous game, if she cannot cause damage to the opponent, it will be equivalent to being banned directly.

After seeing the two people come out safely, Gojo Satoru was in a very good mood. He had just treated three first-year students to a big meal yesterday, and today he took Nobara to have another meal. When he learned that everyone had already eaten there once before coming, Nobara felt extremely unbalanced.

How come she was only one day late?

Everyone got along very well, and seeing them become friends so quickly made Gojo Satoru feel even better. However, no matter how big the party was, it would eventually come to an end.

At night after returning to the technical high school, Gojo Satoru finally approached Amber alone and said, "Xiao Xi'er, your test is coming too. Even though it's late at night, try a little harder~"

Chapter 23: Special Assessment.

"Xier's test?"

Amber thought that her own test would be in a few days. Is the special grade so common?

"Although there aren't many high-level cursed spirits, they can still be found if you're looking for them. As long as you follow the directions of legends or terrifying urban legends, you might be able to find them."

Gojo Satoru explained, "Generally speaking, in mountain villages, especially remote places with religious customs, there are more cursed spirits. Some are very weak, but some are strong enough to be classified as special-grade."

"Is this what we found this time?"

"Yes."

Neither of them was the type to waste time, so without further ado, they took a car to the airport. After flying for a whole day, they took another car to the foot of a mountain.

"There used to be a shrine here, halfway up the mountain, that had always been worshipped by several nearby villages. One particular worship service was interrupted by a lack of people from one village, and the next day a mudslide struck, damaging all the surrounding villages. However, the shrine halfway up the mountain remained unscathed, leading people to interpret this as the wrath of the gods."

As Gojo Satoru walked up the mountain, he explained to Amber the background of the cursed spirit's birth: "So after that, the villagers were filled with fear of the shrine, believing that the gods were punishing them. Even though they lived far away from here out of fear of punishment, the fear continued to accumulate, and eventually formed a special-grade cursed spirit."

"So that's it..."

Amber nodded in understanding.

"Xiao Xi'er's mission is to eliminate this special-grade curse spirit and prove that she has the strength of a special-grade sorcerer."

Standing in front of the shrine, Gojo Satoru said with a smile.

"But didn't Xier kill a special-grade cursed spirit last time?"

Amber tilted her head.

"That time, according to your own confession and that of Kasumi Miwa, it was not Xiao Xier who killed the cursed spirit, but the other you inside Xiao Xier."

Gojo Satoru pointed at the faintly visible red mark on Amber's chest and said, "Don't use her power this time. After all, it's Xiao Xi'er who is being tested."

"Xi'er knows."

The girl nodded.

"Becoming a special grade will bring some trouble, but it also has many benefits. This is what Gojo-sensei worked so hard to apply for~"

Gojo Satoru was very satisfied with the student's good behavior. It was so rare. He had never met a student who made him worry-free in all these years of vocational education. This time he finally met one. Wouldn't this make him feel the feeling of being loved by the student?

Although it seems that his personality cannot be blamed on others.

Amber was not stingy and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Mr. Gojo."

"Very good, very good~ Then let's watch Xiao Xier's performance next."

This place is not close to the city, so Gojo Satoru didn't bother to set up a tent. He just stretched out his hand to indicate that Amber could come in at any time.

Seeing this, Amber took a breath and then walked into the shrine.

In the previous world, she had fought against many monsters. At the beginning, she was a little nervous because of the monsters' ferocity and appearance, but after killing them for a long time, she didn't think it was a big deal anymore. However... the curse spirits were much uglier and more terrifying than the monsters. Compared with the curse spirits, any monster could be said to have a handsome face.

She was indeed worried that something would suddenly appear and make her look ugly.

Because no one had come to clean or worship for a long time, the shrine now looked dilapidated and deserted. Unlike last time, although the cursed power of this special-grade cursed spirit permeated the entire shrine, it did not extend any territory. Because its breath was everywhere, Amber could not lock onto the target in the first time.

But as Amber walked into the shrine little by little, the special cursed spirit, which had been eyeing the girl for a long time and confirmed that the other prey did not seem to have any intention of coming in, finally could not suppress its restless desire and attacked Amber.

The next moment, huge claws that were powerful enough to tear the girl's entire body into pieces appeared silently out of thin air, and clawed towards the girl's body with the power of magic.

However, there was no need for Amber to even avoid this attack.

A sickle as big as the girl's body appeared in her hand in an instant. As Amber turned around to avoid the attack, the force of inertia directly caused the sickle to chop towards the claw.

The blood spurted like rain the next moment, and Amber's sickle cut off the claw without any hindrance. Looking at the spilled blood, Amber put his body into a quantum state and directly avoided the blood.

The cursed spirit will dissipate immediately after death, but there is blood...

"Woo!"

A shrill scream sounded from the direction of the claws, and along with the sound, a huge fox appeared in front of Amber.

"A cursed spirit in fox form?"

Amber was a little confused. The appearance of cursed spirits is usually based on people's fears, right?

"Maybe it's because this is Inari Shrine."

Hei Amber was not surprised: "The most common shrine in Japan is the Inari Shrine. After all, it is the god that symbolizes agriculture and commerce, and everyone can worship it."

That's true.

The severed claw quickly turned into black cursed energy and dissipated. Immediately afterwards, the huge brown fox cursed spirit restored the broken claw by infusing cursed energy. Hatred filled its eyes, and then it disappeared again.

Amber almost said, "It seems to be the same technique as mine."

'It's easy to solve.'

Black Amber understood immediately: "The essence of a cursed spirit is the condensation of cursed energy. Cursed energy can be combined to form a cursed spirit, but a cursed spirit will only disperse into cursed energy after death. Judging from its technique, it seems that it can survive in the cursed energy state without death."

Amber now understood: "That's why it spread its magical power throughout the shrine, turning the entire shrine into its territory where it can fight or retreat."

'You're not stupid.'

Black Amber nodded in satisfaction.

Just as Black Amber said, the spell of this cursed spirit is quite troublesome. Unless one has the ability to sweep the entire shrine with one blow, it can be said that one is almost helpless against it. One can only wait for it to show up before having a chance to cause damage to it.

but……

Amber just happened to restrain her.

The Taixu sword energy can absorb the surrounding energy for its own use. This cursed spirit is simply a piece of cake in front of Amber. In addition, this operation of hers has been regarded by Gojo Satoru as her "superb talent for cursed power manipulation", so it can't be considered OOC, right?

Thinking of this, Amber simply activated Kenshin and quickly absorbed the cursed energy in the shrine...to Black Amber's side.

'Don't throw garbage at me!'

Black Amber complained.

"But there's nowhere else to store this much cursed energy..."

Amber was also a little embarrassed, but Fu Hua had always been resistant to her using cursed power, let alone absorbing it. She would probably be dragged into Yu Duchen and beaten tonight.

After much thought, the only place where it can be saved is Black Amber.

Black Amber: "Hmph, I really don't know what you'd do without me."

Chapter 24: The Lazy Beer

As Amber quickly absorbed the cursed power, the fox cursed spirit finally discovered something was wrong. In order to prevent the cursed power from being completely absorbed by Amber, it could only gather the scattered cursed power. But even so, only 50% of the original 100% of the cursed power was gone.

Amber felt a little regretful. Her sword heart was only at the first level, which meant she couldn't instantly absorb energy within a few kilometers like she did in the previous world. Both her speed and range were much smaller.

However... the opponent's strength is also not as good as that of the opponent in the previous world.

Special-grade cursed spirits all have a certain degree of intelligence. The fox at this time knew that it was at the end of its rope, but this only aroused its ferocity even more. Looking at the girl standing not far from it, it rushed over without thinking and started biting her.

"Although it's a cursed spirit, it's in the form of a fox after all, and its canine weaknesses are too obvious."

Why can cats of the same size easily kill dogs? Not only because cats have faster reaction times and are more agile, but also because cats have more than just bites as weapons.

The naked choke is a fatal blow to dogs, but for cats, big cats can use their sharp claws to scratch your arms and cause blood to fly.

In comparison, canine claws are still too insensitive.

Faced with this direct attack, Amber swung the scythe without thinking. Under the effect of quantization, the body strengthened by the cursed power was no different from tofu or air. There was no sense of pause at all, as if the scythe was swung out of thin air, and the fox cursed spirit was easily split into two.

“Well done~”

The next moment, Gojo Satoru appeared in front of Amber, clapping his hands and saying, "Although it's related to the technique being restrained, even if that wasn't the case, it can be easily resolved with some time."

The fox curse spirit's spell is indeed unsolvable for sorcerers who don't have the ability to cause large-scale destruction, but isn't Amber's spell disgusting?

Even if she couldn't move, defend, and attack at the same time like the curse in her body, any one of them alone would be enough to be a rogue.

However, even so, Amber's performance just now cannot be considered as special grade. It can only be regarded as a very strong first grade that can remove special grade curse spirits, but... this matter does not really matter.

Because she had just started school, when Yuta Otsutsukota first started school, it was impossible for him to defeat a special-grade cursed spirit, let alone a third-level one. He relied entirely on the power of Rika, a special-grade cursed spirit.

The reason why the same method could not be used to grant special-grade status this time was because Gojo Satoru was not obedient enough, and he already had a disobedient special-grade student under his command. No matter what, the top Jujutsu officials did not want another special-grade student to go to Gojo Satoru.

But the same thing goes, they couldn't stop them even if they wanted to, and could only use the card program to disgust the two of them.

'Something's wrong.'

Black Amber suddenly said.

'Something's wrong?'

Amber didn't know why she suddenly said: "What's wrong?"

'I can't say.'

Black Amber frowned. She had no good feelings towards humans, so she had very little contact with them. Her knowledge was not taught by anyone, but from books brought to her by the Ruler of Knowledge to kill time.

She has never been interested in human nature, because in her eyes, there is no good in human nature. Although she knows that her ideas are wrong, it is difficult for her to change the stereotype because of her instinct.

Was this incident really caused just to disgust the two people?

Black Amber felt that there was something wrong, and of course Amber would not take it as groundless, so she explained the matter to Gojo Satoru.

"So, you, the other one, think this matter is not that simple?"

Gojo Satoru held his chin with one hand and tilted his head to one side, wondering what he had missed, but he couldn't think of anything.

"Or ask that self-proclaimed immortal."

Black Amber suddenly suggested.

'Calling yourself an immortal?'

This inexplicable combination of words made Amber feel a little unfamiliar.

"That Herrscher of Knowledge, isn't he very clear about all these twists and turns? Instead of us speculating here, why not let him think about it?"

Amber nodded, and then her consciousness sank into Yu Duchen.

In this snow-white world, a familiar figure was floating cross-legged. Fu Hua closed her eyes tightly and did not respond to Amber's arrival.

Amber was not surprised either, because with the departure of the Ruler of Consciousness and the fusion of Amber and Black Amber, Fu Hua could not be at ease with either side and could only switch her consciousness back and forth. Since it was not with her at this time, it meant that it was on the side of the Ruler of Consciousness.

The girl took a few steps forward and called out to Fu Hua who was on the other side.

"What happened?"
