Tokyo: Starting from the Miko Sister

Only a handful of people can reach the second level in the first semester, and even fewer can apply at the same time.

However, the test does not require any manpower or material resources, so it doesn't matter.

"The theoretical examination has officially begun."

The middle-aged man glanced back and forth between the two people and said, "There are no other requirements. Cheating is prohibited. If you are caught, you will not be able to take the exam again within three years."

The cost of cheating is not high, but it is not small either.

If there is a delay of three years, it will have a significant impact on many psychics.

Unless it's a big family.

Haruhiko opened the test paper, which was not much different from the test papers he usually took at school.

The difficulty level is moderate, and there are no strange questions that are difficult.

He picked up his pen and began to answer.

The topics are all related to psychics.

The scope is quite broad, ranging from the four major professions to various secondary professions.

But the main thing is the priest.

Two hours later, the exam was over.

The middle-aged man put away the two test papers and said, "The next level is in the school gymnasium. Let's go."

Haruhiko and Hoshino Rin followed him out of the classroom and soon arrived at the indoor basketball court in the gymnasium.

Normally there are people playing ball here, but today because of the exam, a cordon was temporarily set up.

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to introduce it, Haruhiko's eyes were attracted by the doll placed in the center of the venue.

There are seven puppets in total, all 1.7 meters tall, wearing light black kendo training clothes, and have two swords on their waists, one long and one short.

The appearance of the doll is very different from that of a human, and the texture of the metal is clearly visible.

It's an ordinary doll.

But it is more than enough for testing second-level psychics.

"Kendo puppet."

The middle-aged man stopped and said, "They are programmed. Seven people form a sword dance formation."

The sword dance formation is derived from the magic formation.

It is a magic circle used exclusively by swordsmen.

Simply put, it is a specific number of people operating along a prescribed trajectory to exert greater power.

"This is the Miyamoto family's famous second-level sword dance formation, called the Five-Wheel Sword Dance."

The middle-aged man smiled and continued to introduce, "The conditions for passing the level are that you can use first-level spiritual tools and spells, and survive five rounds of attacks."

The Miyamoto family is a famous swordsman family in Japan.

His ancestor Miyamoto Musashi can be said to be the greatest swordsman in history.

In the game, he came in second place because he encountered Hayate, who was controlled by Haruhiko in the first round.

Miyamoto Musashi is the founder of Niten-Ichiku, also known as Two Swords Style, and is skilled in using both large and small swords.

Before his death, he wrote down all he had learned throughout his life in the form of "The Book of Five Rings" and passed it on to future generations.

This is obviously where the name of the Five-Wheel Sword Dance comes from.

"Of course, there is a clearance condition."

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "That's breaking the formation, but for a second-level psychic, it's almost impossible."

Hoshino Rin nodded.

The Five-Wheel Sword Dance is quite famous.

Those who can crack it are either high-level psychics or rare geniuses.

The middle-aged man's meaning was very clear. The second-level psychic was helpless and could only hold on for time.

But Haruhiko actually knew how to crack it.

In the first round, he fought against Miyamoto Musashi.

Relying on game plug-ins, he won the title of this talented swordsman.

He is more familiar with Ertianyiliu.

In addition, he also made it through five rounds of sword dance.

However, the first week is just a game after all, and the experience is completely different from reality.

Haruhiko doesn't know whether the related cracking techniques will be useful.

If that doesn't work, just hold out for five rounds of attacks.

Although it was a bit troublesome, he was still confident.

As for what will be exposed, there is no need to worry.

He now has a strong backer, Mashiro Tsuchimikado.

Moreover, although breaking the Five-Round Sword Dance was surprising, it was still within an acceptable range.

"Hoshino Rin-san, come first."

The middle-aged man said casually.

Upon hearing this, Haruhiko retreated to the sidelines.

Hoshino Rin is the eldest daughter of Izumo Shrine, so she should know how to crack the code.

But it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t know. With her strength, she can break it by force.

Hoshino Rin walked to the center of the basketball court.

She took out the Kagura bell.

The seven puppets immediately began to tremble, as if they were activated robots.

The sound of swords being unsheathed in unison.

The next second, seven unsheathed swords were seen, shining with cold light, chopping down Hoshino Rin in an orderly manner.

This is the first round of attack.

In the terminology of kendo, it is called Iai Slash.

Hoshino Rin stood there without any panic.

The Kagura bell made a pleasant sound.

Around her, spiritual energy transformed into flashing meteors, spinning rapidly and forming a 360-degree protective barrier.

Ding ding ding sounded continuously.

Seven knives chopped at the barrier, but all to no avail.

But the barrier has reached its limit and is on the verge of collapse.

The puppets stepped back and quickly changed positions.

Seven swords attacked from all directions.

The spiritual energy is covered and the edge is very strong.

For a moment, it seemed like a flower in full bloom.

Hoshino Rin didn't resist any longer.

Her figure was like a butterfly, moving back and forth in the sword dance formation, almost brushing against the sharp edges.

But when she stopped, she had completely avoided this round of attack.

"As expected of the eldest lady of Izumo Shrine."

The middle-aged man praised with a smile.

Haruhiko ignored it.

He was watching the changes in the Sword Dance Formation and found that it was exactly the same as in the game.

Dog planning, there is something.

"Here it comes, the real killer move."

After a moment, the middle-aged man spoke again.

Round five.

The seven puppets drew out the second knife.

With the addition of a knife, not only the attack range is increased, but the speed and strength are also greatly improved.

In an instant, the entire venue was filled with cold light.

The fourteen knives were like fourteen rapidly spinning windmills, blocking all directions of Hoshino Rin.

The middle-aged man was ready to attack, with a faint spiritual energy lingering around his body.

At this moment, the image of a shrine maiden appeared above Hoshino Rin's head.

She drew her bow and shot quickly, and fourteen arrows accurately hit fourteen knives.

The huge force made the puppet unable to hold the knife, and let it fly out.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man muttered to himself, "The special twin inheritance of Izumo Shrine is indeed well-deserved."

Haruhiko subconsciously raised his head and glanced at him.

Twin inheritance?

The connection between Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru is special.

"Five minutes and eleven seconds."

The middle-aged man exclaimed, "He is good enough to be ranked in the top fifty among all the second-level psychics who have taken the entrance examination in history."

Just the first fifty?

Haruhiko was a little stunned.

But just thinking about the first fifty years of history is scary enough.

"Haruhiko-kun, it's your turn now."

Hoshino Rin was quite satisfied with this result. She smiled and said, "Whether you can surpass me depends on how long you have this time."

Haruhiko always felt that this sentence was a bit strange.

It must have taken him even less time to answer me.

But something wasn't right, so without saying anything, he walked towards the center of the venue.

The seven puppets picked up their swords again and returned to their previous positions.

Chapter 74: Five Sword Dances

Haruhiko took out the talisman.

Because of the regulations, it is only a first-level spell.

But it was not the Speed ​​Talisman or the Spirit Armor Talisman, but the Spirit Feather Talisman.

Following Rin Hoshino's method, dodging or defending can indeed help you pass the level.

However, in the fifth round, Haruhiko might not have enough time to cast the spell to destroy all seven puppets at the same time.

For him now, it is too difficult to chant while moving.

Because when chanting the spell, one must mobilize the spiritual energy in the body to operate along a specific trajectory.

Interference from the outside world will have a significant impact.

The easiest way is to crack the Five Rounds Sword Dance normally.
