It wasn't until he heard Sakura's room door close that Kuzeha fully opened his eyes again.
Recalling the scene from earlier, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Was she treating her big brother like a side dish?
Her behavior was indeed quite bold!
But yet not as bold as Suou Yuki and Kasugano Sora...
After all, those two little girls had gone head-to-head directly, while Sakura was still sneaking around.
"But this is also proof that Sakura is growing!"
Whether it was Kanao, Suguha, or Sakura - Kuzeha was truly pleased with these little sisters' continuous progress!
"That Geto Suguru guy, talking about taking the long view?"
"If you ask me, we should directly test that Kuzeha's strength - that's the most practical approach!"
"If he's not that strong, we could succeed immediately."
Outside the orphanage!
A single eye hidden in the darkness slowly approached.
Like a phantom, it gazed toward the orphanage!
Special Grade Cursed Spirit Jogo!
It wore a cotton fleece cape dotted with black spots, striding forward boldly.
Hanami beside it heard Jogo's words and nodded.
"You just wait here. Don't come disturb me during the battle!"
Jogo began exuding cursed energy from its entire body, preparing for combat.
At this moment, the entire city could sense the suddenly active mysterious power!
The "Windows" immediately responded.
All subordinate organizations under the Jujutsu Technical College's supervision instantly became busy.
"Time: Eleven thirty-two!"
"Location: Sobu High area!"
"Received feedback from nearby 'Windows' - cursed spirit energy reaction detected!"
"The magnitude is continuously rising... Grade 2... Grade 1..."
"It's... it's a Special Grade Cursed Spirit!"
A Special Grade Cursed Spirit?
And appearing openly in the city?
This was simply not taking the jujutsu sorcerers seriously!
However, Special Grade Cursed Spirits still needed to be treated with caution.
Even if there was a Grade 1 sorcerer present, it would be best to adopt defensive and escape strategies.
The Technical College immediately issued orders!
"Notify Jujutsu High School, see if any Special Grade can rush to the scene for exorcism!"
"Also mobilize forces from all departments to emergency evacuate surrounding residents!"
"And designate a one-kilometer radius as a restricted zone - no non-sorcerers allowed entry!"
A battle between a Special Grade Cursed Spirit and a Special Grade Sorcerer was no joke!
But Azriel reacted even faster than the Jujutsu Technical College's supervision department.
Under the moonlight, her figure was fully revealed!
Azriel's perfect, sacred and flawless body blocked the orphanage entrance.
More precisely, she was guarding in front of Kuzeha!
Her long hair displayed elegant emerald flowing light.
The angel halo above her head was even more dazzling than the bright full moon.
Compared to her loli form, her wings and halo hadn't changed much.
Only those heterochromic pupils revealed extreme coldness and majesty!
Her beautiful face showed no expression.
Of course, this was the necessary state when facing enemies.
When facing Kuzeha, she would instantly become obedient!
"This guy... isn't human."
Jogo stopped in its tracks, becoming wary of Azriel.
Cursed spirits originated from human fear of certain things!
And they lived by devouring people's fearful emotions and souls!
It could be said they were most familiar with humans.
As a Flügel, Jogo couldn't sense any human aura from Azriel!
"However, I can confirm she has no cursed energy and cannot detect me..."
Jogo continued approaching.
Azriel's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
Her gaze was also following Jogo's movement!
"No!"
Jogo stopped again. From Azriel's eyes, it could clearly see precisely directed killing intent!
That was definitely aimed at it!
As a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, and one that used fire at that, Jogo felt what it meant to have chills down its spine for the first time!
All its cursed energy frantically converged back under the guidance of combat instincts.
To be used for defense.
"Master's enemy must be eliminated!"
Actually, cursed spirits were essentially collections of energy bodies called cursed energy!
The Flügel, who possessed the Spirit Corridor, existed on a completely different dimensional level regarding energy recognition and identification.
Naturally detecting cursed spirits was nothing surprising!
Azriel's radiant wings behind her flickered.
Instant movement!
In a flash, she appeared before Jogo!
With Kuzeha having maximized her physical strength, she could easily cut through alloy even without using weapons!
As her hand blade slashed out, part of Jogo's arm was torn off and annihilated in magical power!
Special Grade Sorcerer?
No!
"Far beyond that!"
Jogo's single eye trembled - it hadn't expected to encounter such a troublesome situation right from the start!
Azriel had already begun continuously learning about this world's knowledge.
She knew that most cursed spirits had no intelligence and only survived in the world by instinct!
This was her first time seeing a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
She was surprised that this volcano head possessed independent thought and emotions, and could even use human language for conversation!
"What a strange form of existence..."
In her mature mode, Azriel's nature as a Flügel immersed in war was also intensifying.
