A young love story that started with exorcism

With his captivating aura, Takahashi Takumi forced the people in front of him to move aside, and he finally managed to secure five seats in the front row. From here, one could clearly see the athletes' movements on the field.

Although she didn't know what tricks Takahashi Takumi used, seeing that Takahashi Takumi and his team were able to get such a front position, Hojo Midori was still very happy and said: "That's great, you can enjoy watching me cook later."

When the competition started, Takahashi Takumi and the others saw in the audience that Hojo Midori was handling the ingredients skillfully. She was adept at mixing the various spices. Just watching her handling techniques made people's appetite increase.

Some students in the audience were shocked by Hojo Midori's methods and began to talk about it.

"That's Hojo Miyoko, the future owner of Yokohama's renowned Chinese restaurant, Hojo-ro? Her cooking skills are certainly impressive."

"You don't know, she almost got expelled from school after the camp training at the resort, but somehow she came back completely transformed, her cooking skills far surpassing those of us mortals."

"Yes, I think she will be the next one to be among the top ten."

"What a great figure"

……

Turning his attention back to the competition field, Takumi Takahashi looked at the field, which was divided into two groups A and B. Hojo Midori was in Group B. The powerful players in her group included Alice Nakiri, Hisako Arato, and Aldini Takumi. The only one left was the future heroine of Food Wars! Soma, Megumi Tadokoro.

According to the original novel, Hojo Midori lost to the heroine by one point and ranked fifth, and was unfortunately eliminated. Now that her cooking skills have improved, can she break the original plot?

Elsewhere, Takahashi Takumi spotted the Medicine King, Soma Yukihira, feigning a nap. This guy really can fake it. You guys are all busy at the competition, and I'm just taking a nap. Isn't that awesome? Damn, the protagonist is truly the protagonist. His unique skill at pretending to be cool makes him the coolest guy in the room.

We also saw Hayama, the man with the God's Nose, and Kuroki Ryo, who was already wearing a turban suppressor.

Just as Takumi Takahashi was watching with great interest, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his skin coming from the roof of the venue. It was as if a sword of Damocles was hanging above his head, making his hair stand on end.

This is a warning of danger, and it contains something extremely sinister.

Takahashi Takumi looked around. The venue was an indoor gymnasium, packed with at least 5 people. He couldn't afford a chaotic scene like this. If a riot broke out, people would trample on each other and cause a lot of casualties.

Fortunately, most people didn't seem to notice the danger and continued to watch the game with great enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Yotsuya Miko had already grasped Takahashi Takumi's hand, while Yukinoshita Yukino and Kasumigaoka Utaha were both sweating and staring anxiously at Takahashi Takumi.

It seems that the telepathy responded to the danger, but the degree of danger this time made them panic, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

Yes, what should we do?

Takahashi Takumi's mind raced. Should he go up there alone to see what was going on? But surely those things up there weren't here to watch the game? Leaving them there in case something unexpected happened wouldn't be dangerous.

Chapter 185 Cursed Fetus x Special

Seeing that the sense of crisis coming from above was becoming more and more intense, Takumi Takahashi had sensed through the unfolding circle that a thing filled with violent murderous intent had been created right above the roof.

Judging from its aura, the newly formed creature was likely a cursed spirit, very powerful. Judging from its perception, it was the strongest cursed spirit besides Hanamiya. Furthermore, it seemed to be emitting a terrifying amount of cursed energy, even attracting other cursed spirits from outside the venue and the school.

What is even more frightening is that Takumi Takahashi vaguely sensed that there was another even more terrifying existence hiding in the distance and observing this side.

Damn it, the murderous intent coming from above made Takahashi Takumi feel that if he took Kenko and the others to run away now, they would be hunted down by it, so he decided not to run away. It was just a cursed spirit that came from nowhere. As long as it didn't have the domain to unleash this killing move, he wouldn't be afraid of it even if it was a special-grade cursed spirit.

After deciding to go up and take a look, Takahashi Takumi quickly said to Jianzi and the other three, "I'm going to go up and take a look. You guys should be careful. There may be some low-level cursed spirits appearing. Try to avoid fighting."

"Well, you have to be careful too. The three of us can take care of ourselves, don't worry."

There was no way to leave them where they were; he had to find out what kind of character had appeared above. Takahashi Takumi took two steps at a time and quickly left the place.

When he got outside, Takahashi Takumi looked up and saw a round object right above the venue, which fell down like a beaten egg and landed on the roof.

Could this be the cursed fetus? Was there once a finger of Sukuna here? But now it feels like the transformation is complete. Damn, this is completely special.

Takahashi Takumi saw it clearly: it was a very sturdy humanoid cursed spirit. Since he saw the real owner up there, and this guy exuded an extremely bloodthirsty aura, he couldn't let him slip into the venue, otherwise he would definitely stir up a bloody storm.

When the cursed spirit just began to adapt to its own movements, Takumi Takahashi had already rushed over, and now he could see the appearance of the cursed spirit clearly.

The head suddenly became the body of a tall and strong man, and except for a mouth with buck teeth, the rest of the face was lined with eyes, which looked very scary.

As soon as Takahashi Takumi went up, he was discovered by the cursed spirit. The cursed spirit grinned, waved his right hand, and in an instant a wind blade was drawn and shot towards Takahashi Takumi.

Good boy, I didn't expect this cursed spirit to attack suddenly. Takahashi Takumi hurriedly dodged the wind blade with a metal bridge. But the cursed spirit, seeing that it missed, immediately flew forward, its five fingers forming claws and grabbing Takahashi Takumi's crotch.

I hadn't expected this cursed spirit to be so vicious, aiming for the man's vitals with its first strike. Its speed was astonishing; if an ordinary person had faced it, they would have been utterly defeated. If it had succeeded, they would have been left with nothing.

How could Takahashi Takumi dare to be so arrogant? He immediately stirred up real lightning all over his body, stimulating his muscles through the lightning, and his speed increased significantly again.

"scoff"

A burst of lightning struck the place where Takumi Takahashi was standing. The hand of the cursed spirit passed through the shadow left there. Takumi Takahashi had already circled behind it like a ghost. The black thunderstorm in his hand gathered and formed a long spear in an instant. The tip of the spear was aimed at the back of the cursed spirit and stabbed it.

However, the Death's circling attack, which had always been successful, failed. The cursed spirit actually turned around and twisted its waist to avoid the spear. Then, the cursed spirit spun like a top and quickly approached Takahashi Takumi.

There were finger-deep scratches on the rooftop floor. Takahashi Takumi saw it clearly. The cursed spirit was spinning, and its fingers were like scalpels, with real wind blades all over its body. Once it got close to you, you would definitely be cut into potato chips.

Takahashi Takumi suddenly kicked the ground and retreated quickly, but the cursed spirit suddenly stopped spinning, opened its big mouth and aimed at Takahashi Takumi, and a ball of cursed energy appeared in its mouth.

With a bang, the energy ball was shot out by its mouth cannon, bombarding Takumi Takahashi at a high speed like a cannonball.

Takahashi Takumi was secretly alarmed. This guy had quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Seeing the energy density of the energy ball, he didn't dare to resist it head-on. Fortunately, he could almost guess it was about to launch a verbal attack when it opened its mouth, and he immediately dodged it. However, the energy ball exploded like a cannonball when it landed on the roof.

There was a loud bang, and debris flew everywhere. The roof was blown open, revealing the steel bars. Fortunately, the building hadn't cut corners, and the roof was made of solid materials, so there wasn't a single hole in it. I don't know if the energy bomb wasn't powerful enough, but the small rocks that flew up still hurt Takahashi Takumi a little.

Next, Takahashi Takumi fought with the cursed spirit with all his strength on the roof. Takahashi Takumi's speed was a little faster, but the cursed spirit was strong and could recover quickly from non-fatal injuries. For a while, the two fought fiercely, but neither of them could do anything to the other.

However, inside the venue, Yotsuya Miko, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Kasumigaoka Utaha were nervously watching their surroundings, with no interest in the following competition.

Xiao Hua saw that Takahashi Takumi's seat was empty and couldn't help but asked in confusion, "Huh? Where's Takahashi?"

Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a moment and made an excuse: "He had a stomachache and went to the toilet."

Fortunately, Xiaohua was captivated by the intense and orderly cooking competition below and didn't ask any further questions. Meanwhile, in the VIP viewing area on the second floor of the venue, a cursed spirit with a white skin and a plump body resembling a giant salamander suddenly appeared, crawling along the wall towards a private room.

Yotsuya Miko was the first to see it and quickly signaled Yukinoshita Yukino and Kasumigaoka Utaha to look. Now they all saw the cursed spirit, and in the private room, there was a beautiful blonde girl watching the game.

This is not good. If this continues, the cursed spirit will definitely eat the girl in the private room in one gulp. Yukinoshita Yukino immediately stood up and rushed to save her. Yotsuya Miko and Kasumigaoka Utaha were naturally unwilling to be left behind. However, Xiaohua was still here, and they couldn't leave her alone. If the three of them left and the cursed spirit appeared again, there would be no one to save her.

Finally, Kasumigaoka Utaha pushed Kenko back to her seat and immediately rushed to the second floor with Yukino.

In the private room, Erina Nakiri, the tenth best student of Totsuki Academy and the granddaughter of the commander-in-chief, was sitting in front of the open observation deck, watching with satisfaction the performance of Hisako Arato below. She must have no doubt that she would advance.

Just as she was thinking this, she reached out to grab a cup of tea when she suddenly heard the sound of something crawling. She turned around to look, but saw nothing. Just as she was wondering, she suddenly felt something wrapped around her waist, and then a huge force dragged her away. Before she could scream, she was hit by a foul smell, and the nausea forced her scream back.

Chapter 186: Ineffective Attack

Bang, the door of the private room was kicked open by Yukinoshita Yukino.

What caught my eye was the giant salamander with its mouth wide open. Its tongue, like a tentacle, wrapped around the blonde girl's slender waist, and it was about to swallow her in one bite.

"You dare!" Yukinoshita Yukino shouted and rushed forward suddenly. Before the curse spirit could react, she kicked it towards the head with a whip kick.

Bang! The whip kick, full of telekinesis, hit the curse spirit's head firmly, knocking it down directly. Kasumigaoka Utaha behind it naturally would not miss this opportunity. She jumped high, and her slender thighs wrapped in black stockings drew a graceful arc in the air, and a Thunder Half Moon Slash hit the curse spirit's head.

The cursed spirit's head was like a deflated cotton ball, and it showed signs of recovering. Yukinoshita Yukino and Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately rushed forward and started punching and kicking it, as if they were beating up a scumbag to vent their anger for their best friend.

Finally, Yukinoshita Yukino raised her fist and took a deep breath. The veins on her hand emerged, and her tender little white fist was suddenly covered with a layer of swirling energy.

Boom! Like a sledgehammer hitting the floor, Yukinoshita Yukino's fist smashed the giant salamander's cursed spirit's head, smashing it to the floor.

"Huh" Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the cursed spirit that was slowly dissipating, and now she had finally destroyed it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out and took Yukinoshita Yukino's hand, and asked curiously: "How did you do that, Yukino? That punch was so powerful just now."

"Nothing, I'm a reinforcement type, so it's normal for my power to be a little stronger. And just now I deliberately spun my mental energy like a cone, and I didn't expect it to be so effective."

At this moment, Erina Nakiri, having recovered from her shock, gradually regained her breath. She had even thought she was going to die in that moment. Suddenly, two girls her age burst in and, without a word, began to violently beat the air around her. Then, the invisible tentacles wrapped around her vanished.

Although she didn't understand what they were up to, she thought they were trying to save her. Erina Nakiri was about to thank them when they left without a glance back, leaving her alone in the room, bewildered and lost. But when she looked down, she saw a fist mark on the floor. Was it left by one of them?

In the audience seats of the venue, Yotsuya Miko looked around nervously, and from time to time she looked towards the private room on the second floor, secretly praying that nothing would happen to Yukinoshita Yukino and the others. However, before she could see the battle situation above, she suddenly saw a fly-like cursed spirit with wings and as fat as a piglet flying into the venue.

The fly curse spirit circled in the air for a few times, and then, attracted by something, flew straight towards Yotsuya Miko.

What you fear will come true. Yotsuya Miko watched the cursed fly spirit flying towards her, while Xiaohua beside her was feeding her with small cookies. How should this situation be resolved?

In a state of desperation, Yotsuya Miko suddenly gathered her energy and a shadow appeared behind her. This time it was not like yesterday in the Service Club. After a small experiment last night, Yotsuya Miko was barely able to allocate more energy to the shadow's arms and fists.

This time, Yotsuya Kenko didn't even move his hands. The flimsy shadow raised its more substantial fists, and when the curse spirit reached him, he delivered a powerful blow with both fists, piercing its ears. With a snap, he flattened the fly's head. Fearing it wasn't dead yet, Yotsuya Kenko overrode the shadow, using his ring to rip off its wings. The fly then twitched and dissipated at Kenko's feet.

Not long after, Yukinoshita Yukino and Kasumigaoka Utaha returned to their seats. The three of them nodded and began to quietly discuss their respective situations. They were very proud of having eliminated a cursed spirit on both sides, but at this moment, a loud bang came from the roof.

The audience in the venue all looked up, and even the contestants below couldn't help but pause, but most of the contestants chose to continue busy with their work and ignored the source of the sound.

The others didn't know what was going on, but Jianzi and the other two understood what was going on. This must be the sound of Takahashi Takumi fighting that threatening creature up there.

However, the danger was not only above. At this time, a ball of cursed spirit that looked like mud came in from an entrance. Its huge body could not even come in directly, but had to squeeze in bit by bit.

Yotsuya Miko felt a surge of powerlessness as she looked at the cursed spirit. It was too big, a ball of mud bigger than a truck. What was its weak spot? How could she destroy it?

This time they were closer, and judging from the aura it exuded, this cursed spirit was much stronger than the two previous ones, so Yotsuya Miko also followed, and the three of them went to deal with this cursed spirit together.

Before it could fully enter through the entrance, Yukinoshita Yukino immediately punched the cursed spirit twice. Both punches were full of strength, but just like kneading dough, no matter how hard you knead it, the dough remains the same, no more, no less.

The two punches from Yukinoshita Yukino made it deformed, but even though the cursed spirit was deformed into a ball of mud, it squirmed a few times and returned to its original state, without any change from before being hit.

This made Yukinoshita Yukino dumbfounded. The attack was completely ineffective. Seeing the mud still squeezing in, it didn't even have the intention to fight back.

Was the attack too weak for it to notice? Yukinoshita Yukino turned and exchanged glances with Yotsuya Miko and Kasumigaoka Utaha. The three of them immediately joined forces to attack the mess, but just like the two punches Yukinoshita had thrown earlier, there was absolutely no effect at all.

What to do? The three women watched as the cursed spirit gradually squeezed in. This mass of mud didn't even have eyes. They had no idea where this thing's weakness was, nor did they know how to stop it.

However, as soon as the cursed spirit came in, it suddenly began to swell, becoming round and bulging, and of course, becoming bigger.

What's this for? Is he going to expose himself?

Yotsuya Miko and the other two wanted to retreat, but the audience seats were already behind them. Should they just give way and let it go to harm innocent people?

Just as they were struggling, a student came running over, trying to go down through this exit. Before Yotsuya Miko could call her back, she was already on the verge of running into the cursed spirit.

Under the horrified gazes of Yotsuya Miko and the other two, the mud-ball cursed spirit actually opened a hole and sucked the student's head in a mouthful. Just like a person being swallowed by a swamp, he sank in little by little, and soon only his legs were left struggling outside. Frightened, Yotsuya Miko and the other two quickly rushed forward, grabbed the two feet that were still outside, and pulled them out with all their strength.

Chapter 187: Water Sprayer

However, the suction force of this ball of mud curse spirit was even stronger than that of a swamp. The female student's white and tender thighs were still exposed, but as Yotsuya Miko and the other three pulled her, she was actually swallowed up bit by bit. After a while, only her calves below the knees were left outside.

At this time, the calves began to tremble violently, probably because the person was swallowed and was about to suffocate.

Such a situation made Yotsuya Miko and the other two so desperate that they ignored the danger and started digging and digging at the cursed spirit with their hands, trying desperately to rescue the innocent student.

However, the small part that had just been dug out from the cursed spirit fell to the ground and merged with the cursed spirit to continue filling the dug hole. Although it prevented it from swallowing further, it still failed to rescue the student.

What was worse was that the huge ball of mud began to surround Yotsuya Miko and the other two from both sides. It seemed that the cursed spirit was about to wrap them up like dumplings, forcing them to consider giving up the rescue.

Now we are unable to rescue the student and are about to be surrounded. We must retreat first and must not stay here to be buried with him.

However, at this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand suddenly felt wet, but she didn't care about that anymore. She quickly retreated with Yotsuya Miko's memory and Yukinoshita Yukino, narrowly avoiding the encirclement of the rotten mud curse spirit.

Seeing that it failed to make dumplings, the ball of mud was about to continue rolling towards the crowded audience seats in front. After all, there were fresh flesh and blood sitting everywhere, and this time it ran into the pile of food.

But before it could move, the mud that had just swallowed the student suddenly became even more pulpy, and it even looked like the mud was about to fall off.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the liquid on her hand and smelled a strong urine smell. It turned out to be urine. The girl was so scared that she peed her pants.

Urine and mud turned into a pulp... Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Kasumigaoka Shiucheng's mind, which made her ecstatic. She finally thought of a way to deal with this pile of mud curse spirit.

Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately shouted: "Water! Use water to wash away this mud!"

"Water?" As soon as they heard Kasumigaoka Utaha shout this, Yotsuya Miko and Yukinoshita Yukino immediately understood what she was thinking. Water can clean stains and wash away mud and sand. In this situation, spraying it with water seemed to be the only solution.

But where is the water? Where is the fire hydrant? Where is the fire hose?

Yotsuya Miko was sharp-eyed and saw a fire hydrant right behind the cursed spirit, but the position was right next to the cursed spirit's muddy body, making it impossible to get close to it.

Although the other fire hydrant was not far from here, if we delayed any further, the student would probably have suffocated to death by the time he used water to flush away the cursed spirit.

What should I do? Is there no immediate solution?

Although they didn't know if it would be useful in the end, Yotsuya Miko and Yukinoshita Yukino quickly rushed to the nearest fire hydrant. It was better to take action than to do nothing. Besides, if they couldn't deal with it next, the number of victims might skyrocket.

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly had an idea. Wasn't she a materialization-type Nen user? Was it possible for her to materialize water directly?

Just get started. Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately began to focus her energy, sketching her own manifestation in her mind. Thousands of thoughts raced through her mind like meteors, their tails trailing brilliant colors. Her thoughts sped up to the point where time seemed to stand still. But at that moment, like a bubble being popped, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes suddenly opened wide, and a brush suddenly appeared in her hand.

A brush is a writing brush used to write with ink. Its body is made of dark red jade, with engraved markings and some inscriptions whose meanings are currently unknown.

At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha understood how to use the brush. She picked up the brush with her right hand, and wrote in the air with a dragon-like movement. She completed the writing in one go without any ink, and wrote a big word "water".

With a delicate cry from Kasumigaoka Utaha, the word "water" transformed into a torrent, gushing directly towards the cursed mud spirit. In an instant, like a riot gun spraying a column of water aimed at the mud monster, it immediately washed away a large gap, revealing the girl who had been swallowed.

The cursed spirit's huge, muddy body continued to dissolve in the water and flowed away through the entrance and exit, and its originally bloated body could not avoid the impact of Kasumigaoka Utaha's water column. Even if it condensed a shield to block the water shooting towards it, how could mud block water? As soon as the mud shield touched the water, it was washed into two sides and fell to the ground and was carried away by the water.
