The brave Simmel wants to resign

"So!----"

He raised his hand.

It slammed down.

"start!"

............................

"Hey hey hey, which is stronger, Gilgamesh or Shirou Emiya... oh no, I mean, which team do you guys think is better?"

During the exchange meeting, the teachers will be collectively housed in the broadcasting room.

Why is there a broadcast? It's because Mingming appears during each exchange, using her technique [Crow Manipulation] to share the field of vision.

As soon as Usagi-head Gojo Satoru entered, the debate began.

He's the type who spends his free time going to forums to start arguments and then happily arguing with people online.

"I'm really optimistic about Hisahito's group~" Gojo Satoru said first.

"Yujin has been learning from me and Simmel for a few months, and he's already quite good, especially his reaction time in battle and his evolution speed. As for Maki, she was already quite strong, and in terms of pure technique, she should be the best among those who participated in this battle, right?"

"Xigong... what was it again? I don't know that blond girl, but her spells can control the flying of magical artifacts, right? That would give her an advantage in terms of vision, and she should be able to find the spirit of the curse quickly."

The songstress standing nearby complained, "How can this bastard see through other people's spells at a glance?" but Gojo Satoru completely ignored her.

The fact that both school principals sat quietly in the back row, unwilling to participate in the discussion, had a negative impact.

And what about the teacher at the other Kyoto school?

"...Why didn't Ah Xin come...?"

Zenji Naoya stared blankly ahead, his eyes empty, and he sat curled up in the corner, almost identical to Todo from before.

"Does Jay have any talent capable of countering this lineup?"

“…” Xia Youjie thought for a moment.

"In the third group, Inu-chan is quite famous on both sides. Curses are troublesome because it's difficult to select the target of a curse—but Inu-chan handles them very well. If used properly, they can pose a threat in multi-player battles. Kamo Noriyuki is simply powerful. His Crimson Blood Manipulation allows him to be on par with a quasi-first-class sorcerer in terms of combat strength. Wild Rose... I haven't had much contact with her, so I don't know much about her, but according to the information, she seems to be a sorcerer who is very good at support?"

"The fourth group's Miwa is also a very strong child. Although he doesn't have much talent in magic, his swordsmanship is passable. As long as he doesn't encounter Maki, he shouldn't be a burden. Mai also has rich experience in fighting cursed spirits and combat. Panda goes without saying; his cursed body characteristic means he can adapt to all kinds of battlefields."

"But if we're talking about the strongest... it has to be the second group."

[Second Group: Fushiguro Megumi, Toudou Aoi, and Yukichi (Mechanical Maru)]

"Because of the East Hall?"

Everyone almost tacitly agreed that with Scale and Bone away, Todo, Tsukumo Yuki's direct disciple, was the strongest person present.

Gojo Satoru also acknowledged that Todo's techniques were interesting and could even be effective against him.

but--

"Do not."

Xia Youjie looked at Yu Xingji, who had a black ponytail, on the screen, and—Fu Hei Hui, who had a cold expression, beside him.

"Even if we remove Dongtang—it's still the second group, right?"

Chapter 147 High! Fly!

"The second group?"

Inside the broadcast room, Mikoto overheard the conversation between Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuu, and was just about to ask something—

Wow!

Suddenly, flames began to burn along the talisman paper.

During the event, the school released a large number of spirits and attached talismans to represent vital signs.

Although in this era, it is closer to 'killing the cursed spirit to the point of near death and bringing it back to Xia Youjie' than killing the cursed spirit, it is still unreasonable to expect the freshmen to do that.

"All four cursed spirits were defeated in one fell swoop?"

Principal Rakugenji of Kyoto University stared wide-eyed.

"Have you made your move yet?"

Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suke showed knowing expressions as they watched the broadcast on the television screen.

And at this moment—on the battlefield.

[The first group's situation]

"Well, anyway, let's secure victory first. So, Nishimiya, you'll be in charge of monitoring the entire field," Maki said, carrying a naginata that was almost as tall as a person.

"Then, You, Itajō, go and shout loudly to attract everyone's attention, and I'll go and take care of the cursed spirit."

"This is such a mess!"

Huzhang and Xigong spoke in unison.

"Ha...this is troublesome. So, what do you suggest we do?"

Maki sat down cross-legged and propped her face up with the knife.

"To put it bluntly, we're probably the 'second in line' among the teams participating this time."

"The second group is stronger than us. The fourth group can be ignored. Panda won't play seriously, and Dog Roll in the third group won't play particularly seriously either."

“I agree with Group Four as well,” Nishimiya Momo added. “Although Miwa is a serious kid, he won’t go all out in this kind of competition.”

"It's Zhenyi..."

Nishimiya Momo knew about the awkward relationship between the Zen temple sisters.

"Stop interfering in other people's business. I'll handle Maki myself." Maki said without even looking at Nishimiya. "Now, let's focus on the competition and how to deal with the second group."

Nishimiya: "Yes, indeed... even if we all attacked together, we might not be able to defeat Toudou..."

"No, I wasn't talking about Toudou," Maki interrupted first.

Huzhang nodded, "You're talking about Fukuro, aren't you?"

"Fu Hei? You mean that sea urchin-head guy?" Nishimiya Momo asked, puzzled.

"The curse's power doesn't seem that exaggerated."

"The Ten Shadows Technique is too troublesome. If it were him—"

Splash—

Suddenly, Maki and Itadori stopped talking and looked up sharply. Nishimiya, who was initially confused, also realized something after two seconds and looked up at the sky.

"What is that?!"

Suddenly, in the girl's eyes, the once clear sky... darkened.

Unlike the ink-stained sky of the tent, the darkness before me had more angular features... that was...

"rabbit?"

At first, I thought it was just a sudden dark cloud, but upon closer inspection, I noticed its fuzzy outline.

The rabbit heads surged and moved, their bodies clustered together, covering the entire sky in a vast and mighty expanse!

"It's a rabbit!"

Huzhang shouted.

"Fu Hei is about to make his move!"

—About half a minute ago:

[The second group's situation]

"So, what should we do?"

Kokichi walked over to Fushiguro Megumi's side and glanced at Toudou, who was still in a daze.

"Although drawing the card Dongtang is good, it is indeed a double-edged sword. This guy will never perform well when he is not in the mood, and even when he is in the mood, he will not listen to commands."

"There's no other way. If we can't use it, we'll just have to discard it." Fushiguro Megumi's voice was cold and ruthless.

"My shikigami have a great sense of smell, so you can leave the task of finding the cursed spirit to me. The most difficult guy to deal with... as far as I know, it should be Itajitari. As long as I can hold him off, I can handle the others."

With Kokichi:.......

He glanced at Fu Hei for no apparent reason.

"What's wrong?"

Fu Hei also looked back.

“No, don’t misunderstand, I just feel… you’re more enthusiastic about this exchange than you appear,” Yukichi said. “It sounds strange to me to say this, but I’m only so interested because Professor Xia Youjie has been kind to me. What’s wrong with you?”

"..."

Fukurohime remained silent for a long time.

At this point, if there were a narrator, they would probably recall the conversation from a few days ago.

[After all, we're basically going to challenge the other side, so let's go with the mindset of taking final exams—right, Fukuro?]

[Ha...it won't be a big deal. Final exams are essentially about applying what you've learned throughout the year; cramming at the last minute won't help.]

That's what the boy said at the time.

but....

Fu Hei feigned nonchalance, saying, "Since it's an exam, you have to take it seriously, that's all."

This is a lie (loudly)!!!

This man said those things, but his actions completely contradicted them!

(We can't lose.)

Indeed, Fushiguro Megumi's competitive spirit is not particularly strong, but the exchange between Kyoto and Tokyo is not only a competition of students' level, but also of teachers' level.

Megumi Fushiguro can accept that her talents are not outstanding, but...
