A newbie's anime life diary

Chapter Three: The Real World

It has to be admitted that the instinct to court death is truly human nature.

For example, even if you know that there is a horror movie DVD in front of you and you are not good at this kind of thing, but someone strongly recommends it, your curiosity will overcome your fear and you will still want to try it even if you know you will be scared.

Xuehui is in this situation now.

He was just out buying soy sauce, but after smelling the blood on the roadside, he couldn't move.

If you have any doubts about something like this, you can just call the police.

Memories churned in my mind, and the corpses that lay before me that day resurfaced. I could smell that stench back then.

Suppressing his discomfort, Xuehui turned around and immediately noticed something was wrong.

At both intersections, people were clearly walking this way, but at one corner they simply walked around it as if nothing was wrong, heading in the other direction.

On the entire street, I was the only pedestrian. The shops on both sides were either closed or unattended, making it seem incredibly eerie.

"This looks familiar... Oh! Isn't it the spell used to dispel idlers in A Certain Magical Index? But this isn't the world of A Certain Magical Index. However, it's probably something like psychological suggestion, and I was able to resist the spell because I have magical power within me?"

Closing his eyes and opening his senses, Xuehui once again felt an unusual fluctuation, along with intermittent, feeble cries.

"In the alley ahead? And there's a strange barrier around it, no wonder we can't hear anything unusual here."

Opening his eyes, Xuehui looked at the things he was carrying in his hands: snacks in one hand and ingredients in the other.

This doesn't look like they're doing anything serious at all!

"Although these things have nothing to do with me, I can't help but be curious."

He gave a wry smile, and the two people he had met that afternoon flashed through his mind.

'Since we've run into each other, even if I don't know if I can help, it's better than watching someone die.'

So, taking a deep breath, Xuehui picked up the two bags and walked forward.

As I turned into the alley, the faint smell of blood became even stronger, and my unease intensified.

That so-called barrier was right in front of Xuehui at this moment. It was a thin layer and seemed to be used to isolate sound rather than objects.

However, it seems that the effect is only effective on ordinary people. For ninjas like Yukiteru who have magical powers within them, the effect is greatly reduced.

By this time, he could already hear the ferocious laughter and wails coming from inside.

With a determined look in his eyes, Xuehui took a step and entered the barrier.

======================== Suddenly, the sounds in the alley stopped abruptly, and the figures all ceased their movements, focusing their attention on what was behind them.

What came into view was a young man dressed in casual clothes, carrying two plastic bags in his hand.

"Hmph, that's really strange. It was all set up, so why was it still discovered? Hey, Sanshan, are you just sitting around doing nothing?" The blond-haired man at the head of the group looked at the taciturn white-haired man beside him with an unfriendly expression.

"The effects of the item are still there. Be careful, it might not be an ordinary person." The white cat seemed to dislike talking, simply staring intently at Xuehui.

At this moment, the last of the three still standing, another blond-haired man, said, "Hehe, who cares who he is? He's just here to speed up our mission."

Ignoring the three clearly abnormal individuals, Xuehui glanced at them and then looked down at the heavily injured man lying on the ground.

"As expected..." Xuehui murmured, looking at the man whose body was half-stained with blood. He was indeed one of the Onmyojis she had seen this afternoon, dressed in Onmyoji attire.

"I've seen you before. You must have a companion." Xuehui walked directly past the three men and stood in front of the man.

"Quick...go...cough..." The man was badly injured, clutching his abdomen with one hand.

Although he didn't get an answer, following his example, Xuehui turned and looked towards the corner.

The pupils contracted instantly.

Dead body.

The corpse was even more gruesome than the one he had created in the first place. One arm had been severed from the body, the whole body was stained with blood, and the chest was a bloody mess.

Even in death, his face still held a look of resentment.

Not a single thing was left in Xuehui's eyes.

It impacted his optic nerves and heart.

His breathing grew heavier, and large drops of sweat streamed down his forehead; everything was making it hard for him to breathe.

"Big brother, this kid doesn't seem like a big deal. Let's finish him off and move on to the next target." The three guys hadn't stopped Xuehui's actions, just watching leisurely. Finally, the blond guy lost his patience and said to the blond guy in the lead.

"Kid, you can only blame your bad luck. Although it's useless, don't take any chances."

With his head down and breathing heavily, Xue Huiju said in a low voice, "Can you tell me why you did this?"

"Why? Although this is a mission, we're really enjoying it. Kid, look at this, I think you can guess what it is, right?" As he spoke, the blond guy reached out his hand, and a pair of sharp claws sprang out. Two rows of long whiskers appeared on both sides of his cheeks, and a long, smooth tail trailed behind him.

With a slight glance, Xuehui stood up: "So that's how it is, they are three rat demons."

Upon first glance, Xuehui noticed that the aura emanating from these people was strange, and he instinctively felt that there was something wrong. Now, upon closer inspection, he found that to be true.

"Aren't you scared at all?" The white-haired guy who hadn't spoken seemed a little confused and uneasy. Of the three, he was the most thoughtful, and he had this idea in mind when assigning the team. Unfortunately, the other two didn't listen to much of what he said.

"Well, we were prepared." Xuehui asked casually, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered? The person behind me probably has a companion, right?"

"So we came prepared. This barrier can isolate information transmission. That way, even if they find out, we won't be here anymore." The blond-haired guy enjoyed the prey's powerless questions before death, explaining word by word.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and finish this. We've already spent too much time on this." The lead yellow-haired mouse was clearly losing patience and said to his two companions.

Just then, Xuehui slowly walked to the side, put down the two bags he was carrying, and said, "Since just now, a voice in my head has been telling me, 'You crave battle,' 'You crave blood,' 'Why are you suppressing yourself?' To be honest, this voice is really annoying. I'm not a good person, after all, I've taken several lives before, although those guys didn't have good intentions when they kidnapped me, and I was also affected by them. Unfortunately, this time, thanks to you, although my head is throbbing like it's going to explode, there are some things I have to do."

After saying that, Xuehui took out a small dagger from his pocket and held it horizontally in front of him.

No more leisurely transitions, let's get straight to the point, time to get awesome! Of course, there won't be too many scenes like this; everything is for the sake of the wonderful everyday life to come!

Chapter Four: I've upgraded myself, go show off!

The dagger in her hand was from Hiratsuka Shizuka's collection.

The storage room in Shizuka Hiratsuka's house contains many good things, including no fewer than a dozen kinds of knives.

When Yukiteru first saw it, he was also startled, but when he thought about Hiratsuka Shizuka's personality and hobbies, which were quite different from those of ordinary women, he was relieved.

And with the other party's consent, he picked one of them and has been carrying it with him ever since.

Seriously, as a teacher, is it really okay for you to agree to let students bring this?

I never expected that I would actually have the opportunity to use it today.

The three rat demons in front of him, the little yellow-haired one who showed signs of being half-demon, looked at Xuehui with a mocking smile and said, "Kid, do you really think you can beat us with what you have?"

"How will you know if you don't try? Hurry up, I need to go back and cook."

With his eyes fixed on the front, Xuehui spoke casually, but he was also unsure of himself. This was different from his usual sparring with Shizuka or his previous matches with Taiga Aisaka and Yomi Isayama. One wrong move could be fatal.

'Even though I say that, I still feel a bit excited. I guess I'm hopeless.'

Thinking this to himself, Xuehui called out the system. 2000 points, this is probably all he can get.

"Alright, hurry up and take care of him." The blond-haired leader was clearly impatient and ordered his underlings to do it. In his mind, such a small guy didn't need the three of them to work together.

"Hehe, I've wanted to do this for a long time, kid, get ready." With a ferocious smile, the blond-haired guy crouched down and charged forward, brandishing his claws.

"call......"

Calm down, calm down...

Xuehui reminded himself as he ran his hand over the blade of the dagger.

"strengthen."

As the magic power within his body surged, azure patterns appeared on the dagger.

Enhancement magic, a very basic type of magic in Type-Moon, used to enhance objects. Yes, it's the one that Shirou knew from the very beginning.

Xuehui originally wanted to try out a projection magic trick, but unfortunately, the projected items were not very durable and consumed a lot of magic power. To make the projected items close to the original, one needed to have a very high level of understanding and knowledge of the items.

In addition, the projection magic requires 5000 points, so it can only be viewed from a distance for now.

The moment Xuehui used the magic, the two rat demons behind him realized something was wrong, but it was too late to rush over.

A flash of light appeared, and with a scream from the blond-haired man, his claws were cleanly severed.

The dagger in Xuehui's hand remained incredibly sharp.

"As expected of a rat, it's incredibly agile." Xuehui frowned. He had intended to chop off the rat's hand, but only managed to graze its claw.

But it didn't matter; he wasn't going to stop like that. He gripped the dagger in his backhand, lunged forward, and delivered an elbow strike to the abdomen, followed by a rising dragon kick. Before anyone could react, he reached out and grabbed the rat demon by the collar.

"Although I am quite curious about monsters, I'm sorry, I can't leave you here." With Xuehui's low murmur, the rat demon bent down, its neck directly meeting Xuehui's dagger, and was instantly pierced through.

Two seconds later, Xuehui withdrew his dagger, gripped the slightly slippery hilt, wiped the blood splattered on his face, and felt a little nauseous. He didn't even glance at the rat lying on the ground, convulsing and reverting to its original form.

"My head is getting more and more painful, as are my eyes, and I think I'm seeing something."

Raising his head, Xuehui looked at the two rat demons with ugly expressions in front of him and slowly took a step.

"You know what? I used to really want to see a different world, like yokai or onmyoji, but now that I've come into contact with it, I don't feel happy at all. Can you tell me why you do this? You could live a good life without doing this, right?"

Faced with Xuehui's question, the leading rat demon had no time to answer. He glared at Xuehui with a ferocious expression and said, "You bastard, do you know what you've done? I'm going to tear you apart alive!"

After saying that, he rushed forward.
