Chapter 25: Testing Out Ninjutsu
Kazuma helplessly shrugged.
The others were shocked.
Kazuma can kill a special-grade cursed spirit alone but he can't even set up a veil?
If he becomes a teacher, what kind of commotion will he cause when he exorcises cursed spirits?
They all knew Kazuma's power. He was probably among the upper echelons first-grade sorcerers.
But Mei Mei didn't think the same. After all, she had experienced Kazuma's unpredictable genjutsu.
For her, calling Kazuma a special grade sorcerer wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Shōko stepped forward and made a gesture.
She said, "Repeat after me. Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure."
Soon, under her guidance, Kazuma successfully set up a veil.
The entire sky gradually darkened, and a black veil covered the abandoned factory, separating it from the outside world.
In this way, now the outside world cannot see the situation inside.
This is a necessary skill for a beginner sorcerer.
It is used in order to avoid attracting attention when removing cursed spirits, which would cause panic among the people.
Shōko smiled with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, you learned it in no time, much faster than I did back then."
After setting up the veil, Ijichi left, and Kazuma and others entered the construction site.
...
In an abandoned construction site
There were scattered steel bars and red bricks everywhere, with sharp claw marks on them.
There was a pungent smell of blood coming from the front.
When they got closer, they saw corpses everywhere, and not a single one was intact.
On the high steel frames, numerous headless corpses were hanging, and blood was dripping down the rusty steel pipes.
How could this be called a construction site?
It was basically hell on earth.
Even an experienced sorcerer like Mei Mei had never seen such a tragic scene.
Shōko sighed and said, "This... I'm afraid everyone on this construction site is dead."
As a doctor, she had seen many injured sorcerers, but even so, she still couldn't help but shudder.
She frowned and thought, 'Can being exploited by the boss cause such a big resentment?'
But after thinking about it, she decided not to say it out loud.
After all, her experience with cursed spirits was definitely not as much as Mei Mei and Nanami's.
Kazuma sensed that something was wrong through his Sharingan.
Perhaps it was the Sharingan's meticulous observation ability but he could clearly observe the remaining cursed energy in the air.
Although the amount was not much, the density of the cursed energy here was far greater than the time he had faced the human-faced worm last time.
He guessed that this time, the special grade cursed spirit might be much stronger than the one he had encountered before.
To be on the safe side, he took out the Gunbai from the Kamui dimension.
Seeing this, Mei Mei smiled and said, "Why aren't you wearing the mask as well? You will look more mysterious if you match them together~"
Kazuma's mouth twitched and he said, "I would feel stuffy."
Mei Mei gave him a rather flirtatious look.
"Eh? What are you two talking about? I don't understand."
Shōko and Nanami looked at the two with scrutinizing eyes.
Mask? Mystery?
Tsk tsk...there's something wrong with these two people.
Seeing their puzzled reactions, Kazuma did not explain anything.
Mei Mei and Nanami's reaction proved that Mei Mei had not told anyone else about what had happened that day.
Mei Mei said, "This is a secret between Kazuma and me. Don't worry about it."
She put away her smile and said seriously, "Kazuma, you will play the role of our teacher this time. You will be in charge of the situation we encounter later, and you can also instruct us."
"In short, please put yourself in the role of a teacher as soon as possible and protect the cute students who are crying out for help~"
As soon as Mei Mei finished speaking.
Bang!
A group of winged, crawler-like monsters fell down.
Disgusting mucus dripped from the corners of their mouths.
They stretched out their long forked tongues and pounced on Kazuma and the others.
They were very fast and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Mei Mei and others frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
Judging from the fluctuations of cursed energy emitted by these cursed spirits, they were close to first-grade cursed spirits.
In the past, when they went on a mission to exorcise special-grade cursed spirits, the cursed spirits they encountered along the way were at most grade 2.
However, these cursed spirits before them were infinitely close to the level of first-grade cursed spirits.
Mei Mei and the others did not make a move.
This was Kazuma's test. They wanted to see how Kazuma would deal with these cursed spirits.
He will probably use his weird space distortion technique, right?
However, contrary to their expectations, Kazuma jumped up.
He slowly rose into the sky, and looked at the dozen or so cursed spirits below.
Under the puzzled gazes of the three people, he clapped his hands and puffed up his cheeks.
His Chakra gushed like spring, gathering in his throat.
"Fire release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A ball of red flame spewed out of his mouth.
The moment the flame touched the air, it instantly expanded to twenty times its size.
The flames instantly turned into a hundred meter long sea of fire, instantly engulfing the cursed spirits below.
The terrifying heat wave stung the skin of the people behind Kazuma.
They felt like they were being burned by fire.
Their pupils contracted and they quickly retreated.
Mei Mei even stood in front and formed a blue barrier, thus resisting the aftermath.
This move was Madara's famous skill!
When Madara had used this move, it tool the combined effort of thousands of ninjas using water release at the same time to barely resist it.
Of course, Kazuma's current cursed energy reserve (Chakra) was obviously nowhere near Madara's.
But even so, the power behind his attack was terrifying.
