Abnormal month

Chapter 362: Downward Turn (8.2k)

The forest was like a curtain draped over the foothills, with a stream running through it. The stream meandered like a snake, sometimes flowing over stones like drizzle, and sometimes rushing like a waterfall at the mouth of the cliff.

Maki passed through the forest and soon came to the stream.

After waiting for a while, she heard footsteps coming from behind her, deliberately suppressed.

As if she wanted to attack by surprise.

"Bang!"

The next moment, a gunshot rang out.

The bullet broke through the air and shot towards Maki's back.

But Maki's movement was faster than the bullet. She turned around as soon as the bullet was fired, and the naginata in her hand turned, passing like a blade, and the incoming bullet bounced out as if it hit an alloy plate.

Maki glanced in the direction where the bullet bounced.

It was just a rubber bullet.

With the initial firing rate of the revolver, even if the bullet hits the human body, there will be no danger to life. Even if the bullet is strengthened by cursed power, the magician can also use cursed power to strengthen the body to block it. After all, exchanges generally do not allow deaths.

"You actually ran to such a place alone, Maki, you also have such a bad decision!"

Mai walked out of the jungle where she was hiding, her face full of satisfaction.

"Call me sister."

Maki carried the naginata on her shoulder, her face calm.

"You would follow me, and I expected it from the beginning, but I still came out alone."

That look, as if he didn't take her seriously at all.

He expected that she would chase him, but he still acted alone, that is, he didn't think she was a threat from the beginning?

Mai's mood was angered by this thought, and anger like being stung appeared on her face.

"Your face, which seems to be fearless and brave, is still so annoying even now!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of gunfire was like thunder, and it continued.

Three bullets were shot at Mayi in a triangular shape, almost without distinction.

Mayi's hands were very steady, as steady as an Olympic champion. She decided to use a gun as a weapon, and she had practiced shooting since she was a child. She was forced by various internal and external pressures to practice shooting for a long time every day. Among the students of the two schools, her shooting skills were the best.

Three bullets were shot at three vital points on Maki's head and chest.

This kind of bullet would not kill her, but it would let her taste the pain she had tasted for a long time!

"Clang——!"

But in Maki's eyes, those bullets that were too fast to be seen by the naked eye in the eyes of ordinary people, she could distinguish them clearly like bullets from toy guns.

She didn't even need to spend 10% of her strength, and she only swung her knife, just like a child playing connect-the-dots, and drew all three bullets into the defense range, splitting them or bouncing them away. The clanging sounds even became one.

After this wave of attacks was also blocked, Maki saw a visible panic on Mayi's face.

She raised her foot and walked forward with a look of neither joy nor sorrow.

Seeing this, Mayi unconsciously took a few steps back, then gritted her teeth, turned around and rushed into the forest behind her, hiding behind the big tree as a cover, and stretched out the muzzle of the gun from the bushes that Maki could not see clearly.

"Bang bang!"

Two more bullets came.

But Maki's eyes were like a super high-speed camera. No matter how hard Mayi tried, the last two bullets were still bounced away by her knife like powerless cotton.

There were a total of six bullets in the revolver, and she had fired six shots.

She used the tree as a cover, and she should have known her predicament and wanted to take the opportunity to reload bullets while hiding behind the tree.

"This will never end."

Maki sighed imperceptibly.

I hope that her request to Mr. Roy will give Mayi a safe haven.

However, she will not give victory to others, not even her own sister!

She stepped forward quickly, wanting to quickly resolve the battle and then return to help Yuji.

"Bang!"

But at this moment, another bullet was fired from the bushes without any gap.

There was no time for her to reload the bullet in less than a second.

That was the seventh bullet that existed from the beginning!

It was as if she was caught off guard by this bullet. Once this bullet was fired, it was like a snake fang with tracking attached, hitting Maki in the face with incredible accuracy!

Hitting her head back.

"Success!"

Mayi pinned all her hopes on this bullet. Seeing that it hit Maki in the face, she immediately cheered up and walked out from behind the tree with a happy face.

Unlike Maki, who was born with 0 cursed power, Mayi was born with cursed power and techniques.

However, her total amount of mantra power is average, not even as good as that of ordinary magicians, and even below the average, hovering around level three. Her low qualifications are destined to be ridiculed and despised by the Zen clan.

In contrast, her technique is quite good.

Her technique is a construction technique, which means that it uses mantra power to construct matter from scratch. Even if the constructed object loses the support of mantra power, it will not disappear. The moment it is created, it is a genuine product. In essence, it is to create real objects with mantra power.

Of course, not all materials can be constructed. The premise of her construction is that she must understand the material. If it is a conceptual material that only exists in fantasy, for example, if she imagines an element and gives it certain characteristics, this material cannot be constructed.

Moreover, the construction technique consumes a lot of mantras and puts an extremely alarming burden on the body. With Mayu's physique and mantras, if her body and mantras are not damaged, she can only construct one bullet a day.

The reason why she uses a revolver is to give the opponent the illusion that "she only has six bullets". Once the opponent forms this illusion, he will definitely be shot through by the seventh bullet!

"Is this your trump card?"

Maki turned her head and put her eyes back on Mayu.

"How is it possible! You took a bullet head-on...!"

Mayu, who thought she had turned the game around, saw that Maki looked at her unscathed, and her brain crashed for a moment, staring at her with frustration.

No, she was not unscathed.

There was a light red patch of skin between Maki's eyebrows.

If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. It looks like a mosquito bite, without even a scratch!

Infinitely close to no injury!

Maki has no cursed power.

She can only resist with her body.

Even so, she only suffered a small red patch of skin injury.

In other words, the last bullet she had high hopes for, no, in the end, she used a weapon like a pistol, no matter how many bullets she had, even if she could spit out bullets infinitely, it would be impossible to hurt Maki from the beginning!

"... Have you become stronger?"

Mayi gritted her teeth tightly, as if she wanted to bite her gums to pieces, and looked at Maki with hatred.

"In the past, your body was as tough as an elephant, but it is impossible for you to ignore a bullet!"

That's right.

No matter how you think about it, there is only one possibility that she has become stronger!

But Mayi hated this kind of strength!

"It's always like this! You become stronger, and I have to become stronger too! You work hard, so I have to work hard too! I obviously don't have the kind of ideals that must be fulfilled, nor do I have a strong will like you. I just want to live well in the Zenin family and spend this period of life casually. Why can't you be like me...!"

You can't live casually with me.

You can't fall with me!

The house rules of the Zenin family are so strict that they are merciless even to the clan members.

The father of Maki and Mayi is the eldest brother of the current head of the family. She and Maki can be said to be the direct nieces of the current head of the family.

But as the direct nieces of the head of the family, they were ordered to live like slaves just because they were born with poor qualifications. They had to handle the chores at home since they were young. The work done by the servants, such as washing clothes, cooking and sweeping the floor, had to be done by the two sisters together. Even if someone bullied them, no one in the family would stand up for them.

The Zenyuan family is like the ancient nobles living in the modern world, retaining all the dregs, making this family like a swamp deep in the jungle, turbid and full of rotten stench.

Living in such a family, one can either shine brightly and become the focus of everyone's attention, or fall to the bottom, erase oneself and become a slave, and only know how to obey and serve the former for the rest of one's life.

Zhenyi is the latter.

She has been in the position of a protected sister since she was a child, and she has no ability to maintain herself in the quagmire at all. Her protective color is like mud and is easily defeated by the family's bad habits.

She knows very well that she has taken the initiative to degenerate, and knows that her personality is only third-rate.

Arrogance is just to cover up her inner inferiority.

The moment she encounters power, her arrogance will still shatter into slag like mud, exposing her nature of abandoning dignity and self-degradation.

Just like when facing Roy.

Be obedient and submissive, lower your eyebrows and be pleasing to the eyes.

That is the way of survival she has figured out in the Zenyuan family, in front of the powerful.

"I didn't get this power myself."

Maki looked at Mayi's face full of hatred, and knew the source of her hatred.

She didn't hate Maki as a person, but her behavior of leaving her.

——As long as her sister was by her side, she would be happy even if she was in hell.

Although life in Zenin's house was like being in hell, it would be fine if her sister was by her side.

But such a sister took the initiative to abandon herself and left, embarking on a completely different path from her own, a path of resistance.

If so, she would indeed hate it.

But Maki didn't think of defending herself, nor did she explain her inner intentions.

She just calmly told the source of her power.

"This power is not my own thing, but was given by Mr. Roy, so you didn't lose to me, but to Mr. Roy."

Even if she didn't have this power, she would still not lose when facing Mayi.

But Maki didn't say this.

"...You obeyed the order too?"

Mai was slightly startled when she heard this, then as if she had figured it out, she showed a look of satisfaction as if she had gotten her revenge, and gave Maki a mocking smile.

"You left stubbornly, and then went around and returned to the starting point. In the final analysis, what is the difference between you and me?"

Why should Roy, who is a special class, give her such powerful power?

Sure enough, she is still like her, actively accepting the task assigned by the family and selling her dignity and body, right?

No matter how beautiful her words are, no matter how much she defies the family, in the end, isn't she the same as me?

"Whatever you say."

Maki's expression was as calm as usual.

She walked forward, handed over the handle of the naginata, and gently hit her on the back of the neck.

Mayi's body softened, lost consciousness, and slowly fell down.

Maki caught her body and slowly placed it on the flat ground next to her.

In the sky, the brass bird saw this scene and immediately made a judgment.

"Second grade of Kyoto School, Zenin Mayi is out!"

"Can you send Mayi out?"

Maki looked up at the brass bird, paused and asked loudly.

"Yes, arrange someone to come immediately."

The brass bird responded quickly.

Maki was relieved to see this.

She glanced at her sister lying on the ground.

Her departure really had a huge impact on Mayi.

But it doesn't matter.

"It will be fine after a while! After a while, you won't have to suffer anymore..."

She shook her head, drove away the distracting thoughts from her mind, and rushed back into the forest behind her.

…………

Kamo Kenji came to another entrance area, and the scene he saw almost made him doubt his eyes.

Under the dense forest, the two sides looked at each other from a distance like swordsmen in a duel, and one of them was concentrating on guarding against the other.

The other side was moved to tears.

"Senior Toudou, what are you doing?"

Miwa Kasumi followed closely behind Kamo and rushed over. Seeing Toudou Aoi crying, her face was full of confusion.

If you don't know, you might think he was dumped by the object of his secret love.

"No matter what, kill Yuji Itadori first!"

Kamo Kenji didn't understand what Toudou Aoi was doing, but he always kept the principal's mission in mind.

He didn't want to miss even a moment of time, stretched out his hand behind his waist, took out a blood bag, and wrapped the blood in his palm like a stuffing.

"Red Blood Manipulation Technique·Kar Purification!"

The blood brewing with cursed power sprayed out from the palm like a high-pressure water gun, and as Kamo's palm danced, it formed a sickle-like blood blade, cutting towards Yuji Itadori's neck!

At the moment Kamo appeared, Itadori distracted some attention to him.

At the moment he launched the attack, Itadori gritted his teeth and had to be wary of Toudou Aoi while trying to do a minimum backflip to avoid the blood blade that brought the taste of death.

At the same time, Toudou Aoi also moved.

In an instant, Yuji's scalp exploded, and all the muscles in his body twisted into a rope, as if he was pushing his spirit to the limit, and all the nerves in his body were tense to the extreme.

"Pah!"

Aoi Toudou rushed out at a speed that could not be distinguished by the naked eye.

He came in front of Kamo and slapped him, knocking his palm crooked.

The sickle-like blood blade whizzed out and cut off a big tree not far away, but did not cause any harm to Yuji Itadori.

"Toudou, what are you doing!"

Kenji Kamo was dumbfounded.

Coming back to his senses, he glared at Aoi Toudou.

If he had attacked Yuji with him just now, Yuji might have been seriously injured now!

As a result, not only did he not surround Yuji, he also ran over to stop him from attacking Yuji.

After all, he was Toudou, and Kamo had taken into account the possibility that he might not stop giving orders from the beginning, but the obstruction mission exceeded the limit that Kamo could accept!

Even Yuji was confused.

"It seems that they are having an internal conflict?"

At this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the ground beside Yuji, and the figure of Fushiguro Megumi emerged from the shadow as if she had just come out of a swimming pool.

"This is really an unexpected gain."

"Anything else?"

Yuji looked at Fushiguro, without a trace of surprise on his face.

It seemed that this was the plan from the beginning.

Fushiguro Megumi didn't say anything, but pointed to the sky.

A giant bird with an owl's head flew across the sky, and a very faint arc flashed by the blue lightning.

Nishimiya Tao dodged the attack of Nue, but was struck by the lightning. Her whole body froze, and her body involuntarily fell off the broom and fell downwards.

"Senior Tao!"

Miwa Kasumi looked at Toudou and Kamo who were in conflict, and was speechless.

Seeing that Nishimiya Tao was about to fall to the ground, she could only rush over and try to catch the falling Nishimiya Tao.

"Ola!"

But the next moment, a figure jumped out of the bushes next to her like a ghost, and slapped her back with a palm!

This sneak attack caught Kasumi Miwa off guard. Although the speed was not fast, in order to catch Nishimiya Tao, she had to grit her teeth and gather all her magic power on her back.

"Hmm!"

Kasumi Miwa's arms were heavy, and she successfully caught Nishimiya Tao.

But her back also felt like a needle piercing her flesh and blood for a moment. She quickly jumped out, distanced herself from the attacker, turned her head and looked over, showing a look of surprise.

"Kugizaki Nobara?"

Kugizaki stood where he was, and had no intention of chasing Miwa.

She looked at the blood on her palm, and a very bad smile gradually appeared on her face.

"Hehe! Hehehe! As expected, just like what Mr. Roy said, the secret skill of the love of falling flowers is very suitable for me!"

"Love of falling flowers? Love of falling flowers, one of the three secret skills?"

Miwa Kasumi put Nishimiya Tao down and looked at Kugisaki with a vigilant look.

The so-called "three secret skills" refers to the three special spells created by the sorcerers in history to fight against the end of the spell - the field.

The field is essentially a barrier technique. The sorcerer who holds the field can play a must-hit effect in the field. At the moment the attack is launched, it will fall on the opponent in the next moment.

People who don't know the field must create unique skills to fight against this must-hit ability.

One of them is the love of falling flowers.

When falling into the domain, after the enemy launches an attack, its attack will fall on you after a moment. The key to the love of falling flowers is to release your own cursed power at the same time as the enemy attacks, and at the same time when the attack falls on you, let your own cursed power counterattack reflexively!

Of course, what Kugisaki did was not a serious love of falling flowers. She moved the attack method of love of falling flowers to herself. The attack method of love of falling flowers is to use its own cursed power to counterattack the enemy's attack in the way of extending spikes like a hedgehog. She only used the "hedgehog-like attack method" on herself, and completed this unique secret technique with the help of Roy.

"This secret technique is said to be the secret of the three major families. How do you know it?"

"I don't know, anyway, it was taught to me by teacher Roy."

"Can you do whatever you want with a special teacher?!"

"Sorry, having a special teacher really can do whatever you want!"

"Woo woo..."

Miwa Kasumi couldn't help sobbing.

Damn it, she also wants a special teacher!

"Xia, I'll help you!"

Nishimiya Tao has recovered. The Fushiguro curse is not strong, so the electric shock of Nue is very weak. She got on the broom again and looked at Kugisaki with a vigilant face.

"Oh!"

Miwa Kasumi felt the sting on her back and mustered her fighting spirit.

It should be pierced through the flesh.

Fortunately, with her full defense, the wound was less than half an inch deep and did not affect the battle!

"Forget it, you fall down first!"

Kugisaki faced the siege of the two people, but there was no sign of panic.

She took out a scarecrow and a hammer from the bag on her waist, put the scarecrow on the blood in her palm, and she laughed grimly, and hammered the scarecrow connected to the blood.

"Chu Ling Spell Resonance!"

In an instant, Miwa Kasumi felt as if her brain had suffered a heavy blow, and her eyes were spinning.

Then she fell limply to the ground and gradually lost consciousness.

Before she fainted, she finally understood the meaning of the words "The Love of Falling Flowers is too suitable for me".

The resonance trick of Kugisaki's technique, the Grass Spirit Curse, is similar to the curse that was very common in the ancient palace. By obtaining part of the opponent's body and cursing with a scarecrow, this part of the body can cause a huge blow to the opponent.

Through the attack method of the Love of Falling Flowers, Kugisaki can take the opponent's body blood with extremely high efficiency, and then attack with resonance. It can be said to be a flawless combo!

"Second grade of Kyoto School, Miwa Kasumi is out!"

The brass bird in the sky made a judgment.

"Second grade of Kyoto School, Zenin Shin'ei is out!"

The information that Shin'ei is out came immediately.

All of a sudden, the faces of Kamo and Nishimiya in the field became extremely ugly.

The students of Kyoto School suddenly changed from the encircling party to the counter-encircled party!

…………

“The students of Kyoto School are so murderous!”

In the classroom, Roy watched the students of Kyoto School taking action in the video. His smiling face looked quite amiable, as if there was no haze in his heart.

Mayi left the team.

Mechanical Maru left the team.

Aoi Todou jumped towards Yuji.

Kamo, Nishimiya, and Miwa followed closely.

Except for the two who left the team, the remaining four had clear goals, pointing directly at Yuji!

“Humph, this is the correct tactic for team battles! Not knowing how to use tactics can only show that the instructor is incompetent.”

Leyan Temple snorted coldly, as still as a mountain, without the slightest wavering on his face, and took this opportunity to mock Roy.

Hearing this, Roy smiled even more happily.

“Then I really look forward to what kind of tactics they can use.”

That relaxed and happy expression, as if he didn’t take Yuji’s current situation of being surrounded seriously at all.

Leyan Temple’s heart sank slightly.

This expression shouldn't be there.

In his prediction, Roy should be furious when he finds out that the Kyoto school student is planning to kill Yuji Itadori, and he should either run over to stop him or attack him.

This is in line with his character of "attaching great importance to students".

Sitting there unaware like this, it's as if he didn't notice the Kyoto school student's plan.

But is that possible?

Yega Masamichi next to him has already frowned as if he has discovered something.

"Principal of Rakuyan Temple, Kamo's move seems to be with the intention of killing Japanese knotweed, right?"

Noctua looked at Kamo's sickle-like bloody blade cutting into the knotweed in the image. He immediately clenched his fists and looked at Rakuanji Yoshinobu with an unkind expression.

"Hiruto Knotweed is meant to die. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Hearing this, Leyanji Jiashen sneered and spoke loudly, as if he had seized the opportunity.

"A cursed monster like this has no qualifications to be on an equal footing with a conjurer. That kind of thing should be executed from the beginning. This is in line with the curse regulations promulgated by the General Directorate! It's just that some people are lawless, just Just for my own selfish reasons, I just relied on force to suppress this matter. "

"Principal of Leyan Temple, you are going too far."

"Principal Noctua, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Leyan Temple Jiashen looked at Noctua with cold eyes.

The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two was full of tension.

Roy looked at this scene and suddenly felt something in his heart.

"Is this old man trying to anger me on purpose?"

From just now, Rakuanji Yoshinobu's words were full of cynicism, belittling Yuhito and Roy to nothing, and full of provocation.

Be reasonable.

When you are obviously not as strong as the other person, for the sake of your own life, even if you have some agenda in private, shouldn't you still be friendly with the other person on the surface?

Even if his secret plot is discovered, he should at least be conciliatory on the surface for a while, right?

As a result, Leyansi was doing well. He said some extremely straightforward words, as if he just wanted to make him angry.

Thinking about it this way, is Leyan Temple's purpose to anger him?

Impeach him by pissing him off and making him do something that's not in line with the rules?

But he is a special class, and special class means privileges, such as trivial matters such as protecting students. If you use this to impeach him, I am afraid it will not make people laugh for nothing!

"No, think about it carefully. If I insist on keeping my students and go to the forest to interrupt the exchange meeting, what will happen? Someone will definitely stop me, at least Leyan Temple will definitely stop me... Is it possible for this guy? Want to die in my hands on purpose?"

A very incredible guess suddenly popped into Roy's mind.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that only things of this level can have an impact on Roy's status.

Leyanji is the principal of the Kyoto school, has a lot of celebrities, and is also a high-ranking member of the General Director's Department. If Roy kills him, the consequences will be really serious.

After all, he is not a native of Neon and has almost no foundation in the Neon spell world.

Once he kills Leyansi with his own hands, it is likely that the entire conjuring world will be dissatisfied with him.

At that time, Otoko Yuta, Kujiu Yuki and the like will most likely come back to fight against him——

Hiss, if it really comes to that situation, his plan to control the entire neon spell world in an upright and open manner may really be aborted!

"Well, don't be angry, Principal Noctua."

Thoughts were swirling in Roy's mind, but they didn't show on his face at all.

Instead of worrying about Knotweed, he actually took the initiative to comfort Noctua Zhengdao.

"If you accidentally make the principal of Leyan Temple angry to death, won't you take the blame? After all, the principal of Leyan Temple is not far from death, so just follow him for now!"

Noctua was stunned for a while after hearing his words, and looked at Roy in disbelief with his eyes under his sunglasses.

no.

Who was the person that the principal of Leyan Temple had the most trouble with before?

Are you reconciling with him now?

Roy didn't look at him, but cast his gaze from the corner of the frame to Leyanji Yoshinobu without any trace.

Leyan Temple's expression changed slightly.

He glanced at Roy uncertainly.

But inadvertently, he met Roy's look.

The moment their eyes collided, Roy's expression became playful.

Is this old immortal really planning to die at my hands on purpose?

If that were the case.

He tentatively praised the old immortal for his backbone.

but.

No matter how many ideas he had, he never had the chance to implement them.

Because Roy had no intention of letting him survive today.

No particular reason.

Not for Gojo Satoru's lineage, nor for the students.

It's simply a matter of different positions.

He blocked his way.

This alone was enough reason for Roy to attack him.

"Oh, why did the Mecha Maru contestant suddenly leave the competition area?"

Suddenly, as if he noticed something, Roy pointed at an image in the corner and shouted with surprise.

The attention of everyone present was attracted by his shout, and their eyes turned to the image of the mechanical pill monitoring in the corner.

in the screen.

Mechanical Pill rushed out of the forest at an extremely fast speed, crossed the stream, rushed out of the competition area, and ran all the way down the mountain.

"Mechanical Pill, leave the game alone, what does he want to do?"

Leyansi Jiashen looked at this scene and his expression changed slightly.

This change was completely outside of the tactics they discussed!

There was a vague premonition in his heart.

It seemed like something was escaping from his control.

in the screen.

After Mechamaru arrived at the foot of the mountain, he stood there and waited for a while, as if he was waiting for someone.

Not long after, a figure suddenly emerged from the soil beside him and landed next to him.

The moment this figure appeared.

The expressions of everyone in the classroom watching the battle changed drastically.

"Curse spirit!"

"Why is there a curse spirit here?"

"How come Mechanical Pill is waiting for the curse spirit?"

"What's the relationship between them?"

in the picture.

What appeared next to Mechamaru was one of the three special-level curse spirits that originally attacked Roy in the Okubo area - Hanayu, a special-level curse spirit born from human beings' fear of the forest!

After Hanayu appeared, instead of running away, Mechamaru took the initiative to walk up and chat with him. It was obvious that the two had colluded for a long time!

"Principal of Leyan Temple, the students under your command actually colluded with the curse spirit. As the principal, you have a responsibility that you cannot shirk. How did you, the principal, do it?"

Roy's eyes suddenly became stern, and he questioned Leyanji Jiaxin in a tone of provocation.

"Or is it that you, the principal, are actually involved? You are a spy for the Curse Spirit, secretly colluding with the Curse Spirit, with the intention of harming the entire neon spell world?"

One more chapter is due, and three chapters are still owed.

Some readers asked me to update earlier. Maybe I didn’t read the chapter list. I updated it after midnight in the morning, which is the earliest update in the day. If you want to see the update during the day, then I can only postpone the update before I can update it. What do you think about the update being moved to daytime?
