After struggling for a long ti, the only thing Miwa Kasumi could think of was to report the matter of the shrine to the Jujutsu higher-ups after completing the mission given to her by the school and see if they had any solution.
"Since neither of us can complete this request, it probably won't have any impact on that 'senpai,' right?" Miwa Kasumi thought to herself.
She had diligently practiced swordsmanship for three years and had been busy with training for the year after entering Jujutsu High. At most, she had only completed so relatively simple exorcism tasks arranged by the school. Naturally, she was unaware of the dark corners of the Jujutsu world, let alone the entire hidden world.
In her heart, she still held the simple belief that Cursed Spirits or any demons that hard others must be exorcised imdiately.
In fact, she didn't even know that in the area surrounding central Tokyo, there was a lawless zone like Beika Town, which was treated as a dumping ground for vengeful spirits by the hidden world.
After making her decision, she finally waited until Shuchiin Academy's dismissal ti.
Looking at the students entering and leaving the school, Miwa Kasumi also collected her thoughts.
She quickly took out the photo the principal had given her and compared it with the black-haired girl with a cold expression on it.
"I wonder if she's an easy person to get along with," Miwa Kasumi thought to herself as she checked the students leaving the school gate.
Although she had already interacted with many classmates from Jujutsu families at school and got along with them quite well on a daily basis, she had been just an ordinary girl a year ago. This was her first ti interacting with the young lady of a super-conglorate in the real world.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the Shinomiya Kaguya she was looking for walked out of the school gate with another pink-haired girl.
To her slight surprise, the cold-looking girl in the photo, whose eyes seed to lack even a speck of light, appeared to be quite approachable in person. Her expression was also quite gentle when chatting with the pink-haired girl beside her.
However, that wasn't what Miwa Kasumi was concerned about. Instead, through her decent perception, she could feel that the life energy of that young woman seed to be much more vigorous than that of an ordinary person.
This could be considered an extra benefit she had gained after training in Simple Domain, allowing her to feel the energy fluctuations around her more clearly when using Cursed Energy.
This was also one of the reasons the principal had sent her on this mission; she could indeed sense and test whether others had the aptitude for training.
And now, after sensing the life energy on Shinomiya Kaguya, she was a little amazed.
After all, generally speaking, even adult n with strong physiques might not have such vigorous life energy.
And the girl in front of her did not look strong, and was even a bit petite.
To possess such vigorous life energy, it seed the other party had indeed recently awakened so kind of special power related to her constitution.
It looked like she was indeed going to have a new junior.
Although life energy was positive energy and the Cursed Energy used by Jujutsu Sorcerers was negative energy, and the two seed to be one positive and one negative, they did not interfere with each other.
The forr symbolized the body, while the latter was connected to the spirit and even the soul. The two were actually complentary.
A person with a strong physique would generally not be too weak in spirit and soul.
Her vigorous life energy could slowly nourish her physique, making her soul more resilient along with her body, and also allowing her to contain more Cursed Energy.
However, this would take a relatively long ti and would not be imdiately effective.
"As long as she is given a decent Cursed Tool, with her current life energy, she should be able to easily handle those Grade 4 Cursed Spirits," Miwa Kasumi thought to herself.
If she hasn't obtained any other Innate Technique, perhaps I could recomnd Shinkage-ryū to her?
But with her status as a young lady from a rich family, she probably wouldn't be willing to trade her freedom to form a Binding Vow with Shinkage-ryū.
Thinking this in her heart, Miwa Kasumi pondered how she should approach the other party.
Should I go over now?
As she thought this, Miwa Kasumi had sowhat underestimated the power of the Shinomiya family, and also underestimated the current importance of Shinomiya Kaguya to the family.
Miwa Kasumi, a strange girl who had suddenly appeared near Shuchiin Academy, carrying a lot of items, including a long, wrapped piece of luggage that looked like so kind of bladed weapon, had long been targeted by the Shinomiya family's professional bodyguards.
It was just that they were not yet sure of her identity and purpose before, so they had only increased their surveillance of her.
It wasn't until a bodyguard lurking in a high place detected her taking out Shinomiya Kaguya's photo that they imdiately reported the matter to Hayasaka Ai.
As a girl who grew up with Shinomiya Kaguya, Hayasaka had long known that her mistress had recently made a bunch of friends from all over the country.
Wondering if this was another one of her mistress's friends coming to find her, Hayasaka imdiately relayed the information to Shinomiya Kaguya to see if she recognized the girl.
After seeing the photo, although Kaguya had never seen her before, her diary did not send out any danger warnings. After so thought, she decided to et with her.
After saying goodbye to her friend at the school gate, watching her carefree departing figure, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression turned cold again.
She got into her family's car and had her bodyguards go and invite the young woman over.
However, just a few minutes later, the news from the bodyguards piqued her interest.
The other party had actually easily shaken off the Shinomiya family's bodyguards and left at a speed that clearly surpassed that of an ordinary person?
One should know that her father had recently sent so more elite bodyguards to protect her.
Many of these bodyguards had truly been on the battlefield.
For that young woman to be able to shake off those bodyguards so easily, she could not possibly be an ordinary person.
She raised an eyebrow, suddenly rembering that her father had recently told her that he would help her find so teachers from the hidden world to instruct her.
So, could this be the teacher her father had hired for her?
Shinomiya Kaguya thought about it. Unless that guy, the Mysterious Person, had directly ntioned her na in another diary, attracting those second-batch diary holders to co find her, her "potential competitors" should not appear so directly in front of her.
So, was the other party from the hidden world?
She once again issued instructions to her bodyguards, telling them to have the young woman state her na and respectfully invite her over.
This ti, it took even longer.
Shinomiya Kaguya waited patiently in her car for ten minutes before the other Shinomiya bodyguards finally temporarily intercepted the young woman on her escape route. They stated Shinomiya Kaguya's invitation for a eting just before she could speed away again, which made her skeptically follow their instructions and get into the car.
Looking at Shinomiya Kaguya in the car, whose cold expression was almost a carbon copy of the photo, Miwa Kasumi appeared a little restrained.
She had always felt she was relatively sensible in the ordinary world. Although she had a sword-carrying permit issued by Jujutsu High that allowed her to walk around with a katana, she was still very careful not to expose her blade.
But she had never expected a young lady like this to have so many bodyguards. She had been targeted by them just for looking at her photo at the school gate.
Forget TV dramas; even the descendants of the Three Great Families in the Jujutsu world didn't have such exaggerated treatnt. Was this the life led by the descendants of super-conglorates?
She really lacked this kind of common sense!
However, fortunately, Miwa Kasumi had seen a lot in the Jujutsu world. Although this episode made her a little embarrassed, she quickly cald herself down.
After spending so ti getting used to this luxury car, which she had never touched, let alone sat in before, she took out her student ID and began to explain her origin and the purpose of her visit.
Looking at the Kyoto Jujutsu High student ID in her hand, and after confirming that the other party was indeed the person her father had invited by having her use a trace of Cursed Energy, Shinomiya Kaguya began to ponder.
She had heard of the na Jujutsu High from the God-Mother of Shitamachi. There were two schools in Japan that cultivated Jujutsu Sorcerers, recruiting students from the Kanto and Kansai regions who were qualified to beco sorcerers.
However, the God-Mother's past network was basically on the Shinto side, and she only had a slight understanding of so famous figures in the Jujutsu world.
As for the "strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer" ntioned by the Mysterious Person in the diary, the God-Mother was not very sure, only listing the nas of those Special Grade Sorcerers and exorcists she knew.
She hadn't expected that just as she was pondering how to get in touch with the Jujutsu world, soone from the Jujutsu world would co to her first through her father's channels.
It seed she would be able to find out from this young woman who the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer was now.
Not noticing the change in Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes, Miwa Kasumi, after stating her origin, began to list so examples of the physical changes one could feel when an Innate Technique awakens, to let the other party confirm if what she had awakened was an Innate Technique.
However, Shinomiya Kaguya could confirm that she hadn't awakened any so-called Innate Technique without even trying.
Through the God-Mother's judgnt, she had long known that her current spiritual power talent was only diocre, and it was even more impossible for her to awaken any Innate Technique.
The vigorous life energy in her body was all due to the Ripple Breathing she had been practicing for a month now.
With the help of Reading Value, her one month of training was basically equivalent to an ordinary person's year of training in Ripple Breathing. The positive feedback of Ripple Breathing on her body was already showing initial results.
Besides her strength and speed increasing significantly, her skin had indeed gotten better recently, and she was more energetic.
More importantly, even her bust size had increased by a few milliters because of it. It was indeed worthy of being the health and wellness technique passionately recomnded by the Mysterious Person.
Although everything was still within the range of a normal person, after practicing at this speed for another one or two months, she should be able to completely step into the realm of the supernatural.
Thinking this, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at the young woman before her.
At least in terms of appearance, this young woman was indeed qualified to receive a diary.
So, during the process, she secretly took out her own diary, wanting to observe the other party's reaction.
Ordinary people definitely couldn't see the diary. The God-Mother was old and frail now, her spiritual power having declined considerably, so she couldn't see the diary either.
So what about these Jujutsu Sorcerers who possessed supernatural powers?
But seeing that the other party seed to not have noticed anything, Shinomiya Kaguya confird that she was probably not faking it.
Although the two of them had only had a simple exchange so far, Shinomiya Kaguya had already preliminarily analyzed this girl's personality and knew that she was probably not a person with deep thoughts.
Of course, at present, Shinomiya Kaguya could only confirm that the other party was not a first-batch diary holder like herself.
She still couldn't be sure if the other party was a second-batch holder.
After all, the Mysterious Person had also ntioned in the diary that the two batches of holders would be shielded from each other, unable to recognize each other through their diaries, and even topics related to the diary might be automatically harmonized.
Under such circumstances, one would need sufficient reasoning and analytical skills to distinguish the second-batch diary holders.
In any case, since the other party seed quite easy to talk to now, she would try to get as much information about the Jujutsu world from her as possible later.
By the ti the car returned to the Shinomiya residence, Shinomiya Kaguya had already gleaned a lot of useful intelligence from her.
For example, when she asked who the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer was, Miwa Kasumi had gushed about Gojo Satoru's achievents and accomplishnts with great excitent. From that, she knew that this young woman was probably even easier to deal with than she had imagined.
"Gojo Satoru, a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High, Special Grade Sorcerer, the strongest... it seems to correspond with the Mysterious Person's diary," Shinomiya Kaguya thought to herself.
So he's the one who gets cut in half by that Ryon Sukuna in the future?
Shinomiya Kaguya slightly lowered the value of this "strongest" title in her heart.
"Then, is there any difference between Kyoto Jujutsu High and Tokyo Jujutsu High? Is there a big gap in resources and philosophy?" she continued to ask Miwa Kasumi.
Being asked this question, Miwa Kasumi's face couldn't help but beco a little embarrassed.
Because she suddenly rembered that she was representing Kyoto Jujutsu High to invite Shinomiya Kaguya to study there.
But when she was asked, she couldn't hold back and ended up hyping up Gojo Satoru, who had graduated from and was now a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High, for half the day.
Wasn't this deliberately pushing people towards Tokyo Jujutsu High?!
If the school finds out, what if they want to reclaim my travel funds for this trip?
Thinking of this, she quickly began to tell Shinomiya Kaguya about her own school's advantages.
Things like having more resources, better treatnt for students, and a larger campus.
But overall, it was a fact that there was a gap between the two schools.
With the revival of the supernatural, the number of Special Grade Sorcerers who had graduated from Tokyo Jujutsu High was indeed much higher than Kyoto's.
And Miwa Kasumi herself was not good at lying, so she naturally sounded a bit lacking in confidence, only able to say that at this year's second-sester school exchange event, their Kyoto High would definitely wash away last year's sha.
Shinomiya Kaguya had already learned about this from Miwa Kasumi when she was asking about Special Grade Sorcerers.
The youngest Special Grade Sorcerer, Okkotsu Yuta, relying on the Special Grade Cursed Spirit by his side, had single-handedly beaten all the students of the Kyoto school right after joining Tokyo High, making the students of Kyoto High hold on to this humiliation and train fiercely until now, just to get their revenge when they et again this year.
"That seems difficult, doesn't it?" Shinomiya Kaguya said calmly.
Miwa Kasumi was also not very sure. "I heard that he has already lost that Special Grade Cursed Spirit by his side. Even if he has beco a Special Grade Sorcerer again now, he probably isn't as strong as last year, right?"
Seeing her like this, Shinomiya Kaguya no longer asked about the gap between the two schools. The more they talked about it, the more exposed it beca. She was afraid that if this girl kept talking, her own ntality would collapse first.
It was better to talk more about the Jujutsu world and get more intelligence from her.
As for her future destination, Shinomiya Kaguya felt that she should first go to Tokyo Jujutsu High to see what kind of person this so-called "strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer" was before making a decision.
And in any case, she still had a request to beco the student council president of Shuchiin first. She would have to wait until she completed that request anyway.
She didn't want to get a notification from her diary that her request had failed the mont she agreed to go to Jujutsu High.
