Chapter 164: Support from Kyoto Academy Arrives!
“Tsk.”
In the underground station of Shinjuku, a girl wearing the special high school’s uniform and with short orange hair was flipping two long nails in her hand while complaining.
“Why can Toge and Euna be in the same team as Mr. Nanami, but I have to team up with an alcoholic old man and a bandit wearing a hood?”
Nobara, upset, complained, “I also want to team up with Senpai Megumi!”
“That’s… I’m a senpai too,” said the man referred to as the bandit, a young man named Ino Takuma, a Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer. He wore a bandit-style hood due to his own technique Summon Beast Spirit that needed him to cover his face, transforming himself into a medium allowing him to harness the power of four different beast spirits.
The person called the alcoholic was a white-haired old man, wandering slowly behind both in white training clothes, carrying a gourd-shaped sake bottle he occasionally took sips from. This old man was also the current head of the Ushirotanaka family, Inumaki Tojiro.
“Ha! What did you say!?”
Showing a childish tantrum, Nobara was fierce. She threw a nail into the air, which was then struck by a hammer to turn into a sharp weapon that pierced a nearby green-skinned cursed spirit. When she clenched her fist, the powerful curse energy attached to the nail exploded instantly, shredding the cursed spirit.
“Nothing is here,” Ino turned his head, pulled down his bandit hood, and whispered, “First-year students are really scary…”
As for this fiery female,伏黑, who was also a Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer, always looked cold and aloof, like someone owed him millions.
He heard that there were new first-year students including Naoya Inukai.
Meanwhile, Inumaki spread his hands out, a horn-shaped object made of curse energy gradually forming in his palm, with spiral patterns and growing more solid.
“Coming Beast Spirit One, Xiezhi!”
The horn spun rapidly, fired from his hand like a cannonball piercing through several cursed spirits before him.
“You two are too slow.”
The old man’s voice echoed calmly, and both Noble and Inumaki widened their eyes. While they defeated the cursed spirits in front of them, all cursed spirits around had fallen in seconds.
Had the drunk old man done this?
This was… a level one sorcerer’s strength!
“The underground station is cleared. Let’s continue,” Inumaki drank some alcohol from the gourd, drenching his collar.
“Where next?” asked Inumaki Takuma.
White-haired old man hung the gourd, rubbed his chin, then laughed, “It’s rare to come to Tokyo, let’s check out Kabukicho!”
Laughing heartily, he led the way, while the other two followed reluctantly, as Inumaki was the leader.
“Is there any connection between these two?” grumbled Takuma about putting on the bandit hood.
“Ugh, that lecherous old man!” Nobara put away her unused nails and followed.
