Shirou Emiya is determined to kill all the cursed spirits and evil spirits

"Is this so..."

The information he was saying might indeed be common knowledge in the world of curses, but as far as Emiya knew, there was still a way for ordinary people to see curse spirits.

Because the human body is a very wonderful thing. Even if the five senses cannot receive any information, we can still vaguely sense when unknown danger is approaching.

As long as one can grasp that feeling accurately, even ordinary people who cannot see the curse spirit can sense the location of the curse spirit.

The so-called cursed spirit, just kill it.

Volume 1: Chapter 12: The Victims in the Hill Behind the Campus

Without making Emiya wait too long, the agreed third-level sorcerer arrived at the scene.

She was a blue-haired girl with slightly odd bangs, and she looked about the same age as Emiya.

She was wearing a rather formal black outfit, which at first glance looked very much like a work outfit like Ijichi's, but upon closer inspection, one could still see some hints of a school uniform.

There is also a samurai sword on his waist... Is he using it to fight the cursed spirits?

While Emiya was carefully observing his temporary comrade, the other party had already walked in front of him and gently extended his palm.

"Hello, I'm a third-level sorcerer, Kasumi Miwa. Please give me your guidance, junior."

"Huh? Hello... This is Emiya, Emiya Shirou."

Emiya couldn't adapt to such a formal introduction for a moment, and was stunned for a moment before responding to the other party's greeting.

Even if he is a sorcerer from a technical high school, strictly speaking he is just a high school student. Why does he behave like an office worker?

Could it be that all sorcerers are of this type?

"There's something I need to make clear up front. If your performance in this commission isn't good enough, I'll report it to the High Commission."

"Because for those who are not good at fighting, becoming a sorcerer is not necessarily a good thing. Do you understand?"

Without giving Emiya a chance to greet him decisively, Kasumi Miwa expressed her position first.

At least in this commission, she would definitely complete her task meticulously and record Emiya's performance during the exorcism process.

because......

This is the first time she has come out to lead a newcomer alone!

In the past, she was the junior who was taken by other senior sorcerers to carry out commissioned tasks, but now she is the senior who leads the juniors to complete the tasks.

Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.

It would be great if this junior could perform better, so that she, the rare senior, wouldn't have to suffer and could also get some credit.

After all, this junior's unique hairstyle looks quite handsome, and it would certainly be even better if his potential could be more outstanding.

"I understand. I'll do my best." Emiya nodded seriously.

Well, he seems to be quite serious and down-to-earth in character, which is a plus.

Although she was actively judging Emiya in her mind, Kasumi Miwa's expression did not change at all. Instead, she turned her head to look at Ijichi behind her.

"Mr. Ijichi, you should have told him about this, right?"

"That's right. Emiya has a strong learning ability."

Ijichi praised Emiya calmly.

"Okay, then let's put the [account] aside now and get rid of that cursed spirit as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Kasumi Miwa took the lead and stepped into the school gate, waving at Emiya behind her.

"set off!"

Looking at the two figures walking away, Yidizhi put two fingers in front of his mouth and whispered a spell.

"Born from darkness, darkest in darkness."

"All filth and impurities must be eradicated."

In order to prevent ordinary people from seeing traces of the battle between the magician and the cursed spirit, when carrying out commissioned tasks in densely populated areas, a [tent] to isolate the inside and outside has become a necessary measure.

The auxiliary supervisors basically all know this simple barrier technique, mainly to allow the sorcerers among them to devote themselves fully to the battle of removing the cursed spirits and prevent accidents.

On the other side, after entering the campus, Emiya realized that this school seemed to be larger than he had imagined.

It was nearly two hundred meters just to walk from the entrance to the teaching building. Judging from the map Yijizhi gave him, it included a series of facilities including a playground, gymnasium, swimming pool, etc. It was luxurious in every sense.

In this vast area, the area behind the mountain alone occupies half of the entire school... It is said that the reason why it was planned to be included in the school is to allow students to conduct extracurricular studies.

However, no one expected that the vast back mountain would become a grave at this time, leaving the victims no chance to even ask for help.

"Senior Sanlun, are we going to go directly to the back mountain to search for the cursed spirit now?"

Emiya asked the third-level sorcerer in front of him.

"What did you just say?" Kasumi Miwa, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Emiya with a very sharp look.

"Hmm...are we going to the back mountain to search for the cursed spirit now?"

Damn it, this isn't what she really wants to hear!

Although she was venting her dissatisfaction with Emiya's ignorance in her heart, Kasumi Miwa still maintained the calmness and dignity of a senior on her face.

"No, removing the cursed spirit is the last thing we need to do. We must first confirm whether there is any problem with the seal on the [cursed object] of this school."

"Cursed object?"

"That's right. Because places like schools and hospitals are particularly prone to harboring resentment: pain, shame, regret... these negative human emotions are the source of the curse."

"So, many schools secretly store exorcism objects."

There is no need to say much about places like hospitals.

The fear of death of the dying, the sadness of separation from loved ones...any of these emotions is an excellent breeding ground for cursed spirits.

What about schools, which are also places with a very dense population?

Needless to say, the students' resentment and fear towards the academy are immense. The hostility between different groups is also included in the negative emotions. The rest are all the various emotions that accumulate due to the dense population.

But the most important thing is not this, but school bullying.

Even without an investigation, one should know that such things exist in any college and even in any class. It is just a matter of degree.

You don't have to be special or do anything annoying; any reason can make you a target of bullying.

For example, if you have any physical defects, if your grades are too good or too bad, if there is a scandal in your family, or simply because you did not express your position in time in a class full of factions...

Most people will not choose to sympathize with you, but as long as you show your weakness when someone is malicious towards you, they will follow the crowd to attack you and be hostile to you, just to prove that they can better integrate into this "group".

If the bullying is mild, it may simply cause the person being excluded to become withdrawn.

However, the number of people who are forced to drop out of school, or even become disabled or die due to school bullying, has never been zero.

However, due to the gaps in laws and regulations regarding school bullying, the inability to reach minors, and the stereotype that the law cannot enforce the majority... often even if someone is killed, no one will be punished at all.

News about students committing suicide due to mental problems often appears in everyone's field of vision, but has anyone really paid attention to how much punishment some people received afterwards?

At most, it was just a scapegoat when the school was busy shirking responsibility and concealing the truth.

Emiya, following his own definition of exorcism, tried to ask, "Something like the Holy Shroud?"

“No, there is nothing so beautiful in reality.”

Kasumi Miwa interrupted Emiya's fantasy without hesitation.

"So-called cursed objects are essentially objects that contain curses. The reason they're used to exorcise demons is simply because they're a way of fighting poison with poison, using a curse to drive away a curse."

"As the seal loosens year by year, the cursed items originally used to exorcise demons will instead become bait to attract cursed spirits, causing them to grow stronger."

"But the intelligence says there's only one level three cursed spirit in this school, so there's definitely nothing wrong with the seal. We just need to check it as usual."

"This is something you must learn as a sorcerer, junior."

"Hi......"

So, under the leadership of Senior Miwa, the two set out on a journey to find the sealed location of the cursed object.

This process took approximately thirty-seven minutes and sixty-eight seconds.

After running around the entire campus for a long time, the two finally found the louvered box used to store cursed items on a haystack behind the teaching building.

In fact, this was their third time passing this place.

Senior Miwa said that she really tried her best!

There's nothing we can do. The weeds in this damn place have grown to several feet high, and the information provided by the High School only marked the approximate location.

"See, I told you that the place where the cursed items are stored must be here."

Miwa Kasumi was very glad that she was smart enough to finally find the shutter box hidden in the grass at the last critical moment.

Otherwise, when she passes by this place for the second time, her dignity as a senior will be gone.

Emiya wisely didn't dwell too much on the issue of getting lost, but he couldn't help but complain when he saw the lonely shutter box in the grass.

"I thought the seal would be embedded in the wall or buried in the ground, but it turned out to be placed in a place like this?"

"Are you really not afraid that someone will take it away?"

Judging from the description just now, cursed objects are obviously very dangerous things for ordinary people, right?

If something is taken away as a novelty, wouldn't it be bad for both sides?

"Don't worry, don't worry, junior."

"Even if it's a shuttered box, it's usually locked."

"Besides, even non-magicians would feel an instinctive resistance when handling a cursed object. Why would anyone take something home when they know it's dangerous?"

It's like you picked up a bomb on the road. Wouldn't you want to call the police immediately and take it home to study why it didn't explode?

Sanlun Xia struggled to push aside the haystack in front of her and crawled into it, walking to the louvered box step by step with difficulty.

Just as he was about to take the key out of his pocket, he accidentally dropped it into the grass below.

She quickly bent down to pick it up, but sadly discovered that the grass below was too dense and she couldn't find the key in the pitch black.

How...how could it be that, as a senior, she would actually make such a low-level mistake?!

She bent over and froze in place for a moment.

"What's going on, Sanlun-senpai, do you need help?"

Seeing that the other party was standing there motionless, Emiya couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, my shoelaces just came undone!"

Sanlun Xia casually found an excuse for herself, then quickly raised her head and looked at the shutter box above her head, hoping that the lock would miraculously open by itself.

Just as she expected, the lock had been pried open.

Great, I can open the box without a key...huh?

It was... pried open by someone??!

Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, Sanlun Xia hurriedly got up and opened the louvered box, and there was no doubt that it was empty.

No way, how come someone would take something like this?!

In an instant, Senior Sanlun felt as if the sky had collapsed on him.

But the situation was urgent and she could no longer care about her seniority.

"No, the cursed item stored here has disappeared... Hurry and inform Mr. Ijichi to investigate the students in the school. If someone takes the cursed item out of the school, it will be very troublesome."

Sanlun Xia didn't even bother to think about why she had to encounter such a thing.

"What... then? What do we do now?"

Emiya quickly edited the message and sent it, then asked the other party.

"The staff at the Polytechnic regularly checks the seals on cursed items. Since there were no reports of problems before, the cursed item must have been lost recently. The best-case scenario is that it's still somewhere in the school and hasn't been completely taken away."

Having said that, Sanlun Xia quickly focused her attention and looked around the louvered box.

Of course, her control of cursed energy could not be more proficient than that of the first-level sorcerer Kento Nanami, so she had to be in a serious state to capture those tiny residual existences.

Following the traces of filth revealed by the curse, Sanlunxia's eyes kept glancing towards the distant mountains behind.

"The direction of the remnant leads to the back mountain, which means the cursed object is likely still inside the academy... Let's go, we must go up and investigate thoroughly."
