First of all, it must be made clear that Hikigaya Hachiman is not good at fighting.

Yukinoshita Yukino at least has the basics of Aikido, so it wouldn't be too difficult for her to learn other fighting techniques. However, Hikigaya Hachiman could only punch based on his feeling, and he didn't have the inhuman physical fitness like Yukinoshita Yukino does now.

After rushing towards one of the cursed spirits with his fist swung and being easily dodged, he understood that actively attacking these cursed spirits was not only extremely difficult, but also wishful thinking.

It seems that we can only wait until they launch an attack before counterattacking.

Looking at these cursed spirits floating in the air, mocking him for not being able to touch them, Hikigaya Hachiman felt furious.

But when it comes to being annoying and dislikeable, Hikigaya Hachiman doesn't think he is weaker than these ugly cursed spirits.

He looked up at these cursed spirits, his eyelids half drooped, his dead fish eyes emitting a rotten smell, with a look of contempt, and a mocking "huh" squeezed out from the corners of his mouth that twitched slightly.

"Giggle!"

After seeing the five cursed spirits chattering their teeth and starting to fly around like deflated balloons, Hikigaya Hachiman knew that his taunt was successful.

I remember when I was in primary school, whenever he showed this expression, the kids around him would show disgusted expressions and walk away while shouting his nickname.

It seems that these cursed spirits have, at best, the intelligence level of elementary school students.

Soon, one of the cursed spirits could no longer hold back its temper and charged towards the boy with dead eyes.

The threatening expression on his face disappeared instantly, and Hikigaya Hachiman quickly caught its head with both hands. The impact caused him to slide several meters on the corridor floor.

The cursed spirit opened its mouth and kept biting in his arms, but because it was controlled, it could only bite the air.

"How should I put it..." Hikigaya Hachiman felt the power coming from his hand, and his expression was a little strange, "It feels like this, and the attack method seems very monotonous."

Although the impact was really strong when he caught the charging cursed spirit at the first moment, just like catching a high-speed flying football with bare hands, even though he strengthened his hands with cursed power, his palms were still numb from the shock.

But there was no more strength afterwards, and the force of the struggle was like the shaking head of a large dog.

I feel confident again.

He heard a sound of breaking air, and when he looked up, he saw another cursed spirit rushing towards him.

He let go of the cursed spirit in his arms and threw it aside, then faced the oncoming cursed spirit head-on with his fist filled with cursed power.

puff!

Purple blood and flesh splattered everywhere. Hikigaya Hachiman looked in amazement at the cursed spirit that was blown up by his punch. Suddenly, a question arose in his heart: "Am I very strong?"

"Giggle!"

"Giggle!"

The remaining four cursed spirits screamed and started to run away. Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly came to his senses and quickly chased after them.

"Hey! Don't run!"

They fled and he chased them. Although the flying speed of these cursed spirits was not very fast and Hikigaya Hachiman had caught up with them several times, he had no means to stop them.

As the distance to the Service Club got closer and closer, Hikigaya Hachiman became more and more anxious.

However, what he feared most happened.

As if they had sensed the presence of other humans, the cursed spirits drilled into the wall and disappeared from Hikigaya Hachiman's sight.

Immediately realizing that they were targeting Yuigahama Yui who was alone in the club, Hikigaya Hachiman rushed to the door of the Service Club and pulled the classroom door open.

"Ah, Xiaoqi, you're back."

The pink-haired girl who was looking at her phone heard the door open, looked up and greeted Hikigaya with a smile.

But she was completely unaware that four monsters emerged from the wall, floor, and ceiling connecting to the next classroom and were rapidly approaching her.

And this scene was completely reflected in Hikigaya Hachiman's pupils.

He stretched out his hand in the direction of Yuigahama, as if he wanted to grab something, or as if he wanted to keep something.

Most sorcerers will awaken their spells when they are seven or eight years old. If they are children of a family that has inherited spells, it may be even earlier. The upper limit of the sorcerer's profession is set at the moment the spell is awakened.

As long as you are not a fool, from the moment the ritual is awakened, your body will already understand how to use it.

The four cursed spirits that rushed towards Yuigahama Yui at the same time stopped in mid-air as if they had suddenly lost power. Even inertia and gravity seemed to no longer exist. They were stuck in mid-air as if time had been stopped.

Click!

A crisp sound like glass breaking was heard, and the space seemed to be divided, and its own dimension was also reduced. The four cursed spirits were sealed in the mirror that appeared out of thin air like reflections.

As the mirror shattered, the four cursed spirits were torn into pieces.

Chapter 37: Spell Arts Academy

"Xiaoqi?"

Yuigahama Yui looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, who was holding out his hand to her with a frightened expression, and a worried look appeared on her face: "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah?" Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and put his hand down awkwardly, "I just want to... well, can I go home now? Anyway, no one comes to entrust me with anything."

Yuigahama Yui looked at him doubtfully, and said with a somewhat resentful tone: "Really? Xiaoqi thinks I'm a fool, right?"

If that's all, then why do you look so panicked?

"……it is true."

Being looked at by Yuigahama with a look of suspicion and a hint of worry, Hikigaya Hachiman was already sweating profusely. He grabbed his trouser legs with his lowered hands, and curled up his toes as if he was trying to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

Seeing that he refused to tell the truth, Yuigahama Yui frowned and pouted: "Humph, you are so mysterious. I won't pay attention to you!"

Having said that, she grabbed her schoolbag and left the Service Club first, while Hikigaya Hachiman was still standing at the door like a silly goose, glancing at the girl with the pink bun hair.

After taking a few steps, Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but turn around and urged with puffed cheeks: "Why don't you leave!?"

"Oh oh, let's go now."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who had just woken up from his dream, quickly grabbed his schoolbag and left the Service Club. However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, a key flew over and he subconsciously caught it with a confused look on his face.

"Go put the key to the activity room back in Mr. Hiratsuka's office. I have to leave first!" Yuigahama threw the key out and left without looking back.

It seems that he is really angry.

Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his cheek, and waited until the other party turned down the stairs and disappeared from his sight before turning and walking towards the teaching building.

Only then did he suddenly recall.

——Ordinary people cannot see the existence of cursed spirits.

……

……

After destroying the fly-head curse spirit, Yukinoshita Yukino once again returned to the room where the victim was.

She looked at the body still bleeding on the ground with a complicated expression, feeling mixed emotions.

"What should we do now?" she asked.

"What should we do?" Lin Qi responded casually without caring what she was doing.

He is checking the newly credited points.

[Already have 1450 points]

550 points were added. The last bug, which was also a third-level cursed spirit, added 800 points. The one that Yukinoshita solved was obviously much weaker than that bug.

But last time it was a millipede, and this time it was a fly and a bee. Does Yukinoshita Yukino have a connection with insects?

"Of course it's this victim!" Lin Qi's nonchalant answer made Yukinoshita Yukino feel a little annoyed.

"Why not just burn it?" Lin Qi suggested.

"How can this be possible?" Yukinoshita Yukino immediately rejected the suggestion.

She seemed to have found something in the messy living room, so she walked over quickly, bent down and picked it up.

It was a broken glass photo frame, but fortunately the photo inside the frame was still intact.

The photo looks old and has turned slightly yellow. It seems to be a family photo.

The middle-aged parents smiled kindly. A young man stood behind his father, smiling shyly. Next to him was a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old. The girl did not look at the camera, but pouted at her brother, her chubby little hands tugging at the young man's wrist and sleeve.

The victim should be the young man in the photo.

The background of the photo is a golden field on the ridge of a field. Behind the field is a low house with white walls and brown tiles, distant mountains and a blue sky.

It is not difficult to guess that the young man came to the city from his hometown to work hard, and this newly built apartment building may be the result of his hard work, but before he had time to look forward to a bright future, he died under the attack of the cursed spirit.

“He has his own family too…” The girl’s ethereal voice carried a hint of compassion, “If it’s burned like this, what will be erased is not only his body, but also all traces of his hard work in life.”

"I don't care." Lin Qi's voice sounded lazy. "So what are you going to do? Call the police?"

"So, as the first eyewitness to the death scene, how are you going to explain it? You might even be exposed to your family."

"You have to think about it carefully."

Yukinoshita Yukino was in a trance for a moment, and then fell silent for a long time. Lin Qi knew that she was making a decision, so she remained quiet and waited silently.

The girl was silent for a full ten minutes, during which time she thought about a lot of things, including the possible reactions of her sister and family members.

Finally, Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyes, looked at the yellowed photo in her hand, and said softly: "At least, let his family know."

"It looks like you have made up your mind." Lin Qi said.

Once you’ve made the decision, the rest is easy.

Lin Qi removed the [curtain], and after Yukinoshita Yukino determined the location of the apartment building, she called the police.

She first reported her identity on the phone, then calmly stated the location where the death occurred, and even described the tragic condition of the deceased.

Such a tragic death shocked everyone who answered the phone. This can be considered a major case, enough to attract the police station's high attention, not to mention that the person who called the police was the daughter of a Chiba County councilman.

If anything happens to someone, it's all over.

Not long after, sirens were heard downstairs in the apartment building.

Yukinoshita Yukino just stood quietly outside the door waiting.

Soon, several policemen arrived at the crime scene. Leading them was a middle-aged man wearing a police inspector's badge. He first greeted Yukinoshita Yukino before inviting the police officers into the apartment.

In less than ten seconds, several people ran out with their mouths covered with their hands, their faces livid. A young policeman even leaned against the wall and began to vomit violently. Stomach acid mixed with the undigested lunch came out of his mouth.

After everyone recovered, the police chief said to Yukinoshita Yukino with a serious face: "Thank you for reporting the case, Miss Yukinoshita. Please go back and have a rest today. It must be hard to witness such a hellish scene..."

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head calmly, indicating that I'm actually fine.

"...Tomorrow, when the preliminary investigation results come out, I hope you can go to the police station to record your statement." The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel ashamed of the calmness shown by the girl.

Could it be that my ability to withstand pressure is not even as good as that of a little girl?

She nodded gently: "As it should be."

After that, nothing happened to Yukinoshita Yukino. She returned home as usual, and did not seem to attract the attention of her sister Haruno. However, Haruno found that her sister's mood seemed a little lower than usual.

The next day, Yukinoshita Yukino asked for leave from school and went to the police station alone.

However, the person she was waiting for was not the middle-aged police chief she saw yesterday, but a man in a suit and tie.

"Hello, Ms. Yukinoshita, I am the assistant supervisor of the Jujutsu High School."

The man said so.

……

……

Chapter 38: A horse? Knockknock! ?

"Who?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the uncle in front of her with confusion.

His suit was neatly ironed, his tie was neatly tied, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine. He seemed to be a man who paid great attention to his appearance in the workplace. His cheeks were thin and the dark circles behind his glasses were very obvious. He looked like a social animal who was exploited by the company and worked overtime for a long time.

"Excuse me, my name is Ijichi Jie Gao, and I'm the assistant supervisor of the Tokyo Metropolitan School of Jutsu. My main job is to be in charge of various support and follow-up matters." The man bowed slightly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Tokyo Metropolitan Technical College of Jutsu...a school I've never heard of." Rather than the name of the school that sounded like it was made up, she was more concerned about the purpose of the man in front of her.

"It is advertised as a religious school, and the students and teachers inside are all related to the world of magic." Ijichi Jie pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, "Just like you, Ms. Yukinoshita."
