"Jujutsu! The legendary Jujutsu!" The twin-tailed loli felt as if she had been struck by lightning, instinctively retreating. Her heel accidentally stepped on a stone, and she fell onto the ground, sitting on her backside. The pain brought her back to her senses, and she stared with wide eyes at the retreating figures of Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana.
My name is Yulia.
At school, she was often ostracized and had no friends.
This was because she had possessed 'Spiritual Sight' since childhood, able to see things ordinary people couldn't. When she told her classmates, they laughed at her, calling her a liar, and then gradually distanced themselves from her.
At first, she was very sad, and during middle school, she was even considered to have 'chunibyo'.
But after entering high school, she came to terms with it.
She was different; she possessed a superpower that ordinary people didn't, making her a true genius.
After realizing this, she spent all her free time searching for others like herself.
During the summer vacation, she actually found someone.
On the shopping street, she found the 'Shitamachi Shinbo' old woman.
The 'Shitamachi Shinbo' is a truly powerful psychic, and the bracelets she makes can genuinely exorcise evil spirits.
Although the 'Shitamachi Shinbo' had not yet accepted her as a disciple, it was only a matter of time before she would; she was just testing her (or so Yulia believed).
After that, she hadn't encountered any true 'Psychics'.
Until a few days ago, she accidentally discovered that Yotsuya Miko, the long-haired classmate from the next class, seemed to be able to see evil spirits.
She was a little excited at the time, so for the next few days, she observed her secretly.
It was completely confirmed: Yotsuya Miko was one of them.
Originally, she planned to approach her during tomorrow's physical education class and confess that she was also a 'Psychic'.
Unexpectedly, at the school gate, she witnessed a scene that struck her like lightning.
Light appeared on Yotsuya Miko's body, and she seemed to chant a spell. A light arrow appeared in her hand, which directly exorcised a powerful evil spirit.
It should be known that the 'Shitamachi Shinbo's' bracelets could at most only drive away such evil spirits.
"Jujutsu? Onmyodo? She's a truly powerful Psychic, perhaps even more powerful than the Shitamachi Shinbo!" Yulia's cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled.
This was her first time seeing the legendary 'Jujutsu'.
Yotsuya Miko must be a particularly powerful existence in 'that world'; she must belong to a family or an organization.
She would search for 'people from that world' whenever she had time, only getting to know the 'Shitamachi Shinbo' now.
'That world' must have rules for hiding oneself and not revealing one's whereabouts to outsiders!
"I must enter that world. I must become one of the people from that world," Yulia clenched her small fists.
She simply didn't fit in with the ordinary world; only people from that world could become her friends and understand her.
Time passed bit by bit, lessons ended, and new ones began.
Yulia deliberately walked past Yotsuya Miko's classroom, secretly peeking at Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana.
"Strange—why do I always feel like someone is peeking at me?" Yotsuya Miko furrowed her brow slightly, looking around, but found nothing.
Yulia crouched under the corridor window, sweating profusely, and swallowed her saliva.
As expected of a true Psychic, this is the sixth sense, definitely the sixth sense!
It was time for school to end in the afternoon.
Yotsuya Miko packed her schoolbag and left school with Yurikawa Hana.
"Mmm-hmm~ School's finally out. My stomach's been hungry and wronged, it's so delicious." Yurikawa Hana hugged a large pineapple bun in her hand and handed another pineapple bun from her bag to Yotsuya Miko: "Miko, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry yet, thank you," Yotsuya Miko shook her head. She didn't eat much; a little was enough to fill her up.
"Um, Hana, I have something to do today, so I can't go home with you."
She was going to the God's Cafe to meet the God.
"Talk? Is it something important?" Yurikawa Hana asked.
"No, I'm tutoring a child I know."
"Ah, tutoring, alright then." Yurikawa Hana nodded innocently without any suspicion: "Then see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow," Yotsuya Miko waved.
Yulia, who was following not far away, was extremely nervous: "At this distance, I shouldn't be discovered, right?"
Following a powerful Psychic who can use 'Jujutsu' and 'Onmyodo' is a suicidal act in manga. If she's discovered, will she be silenced?
Yotsuya Miko had no idea there was a little tail following her.
"So many evil spirits. It's a good opportunity to practice the new spells I've learned."
She had already learned seventeen spells, all of which were for attack and defense.
She was afraid of dying, so she could only frantically learn spells that could protect herself.
"Found one!" Yotsuya Miko looked at an ordinary evil spirit aimlessly wandering on the street, raised her finger,
and chanted a spell.
"Lightning Spell!"
A spark of electricity flashed from Yotsuya Miko's fingertip, moving very quickly, directly striking the evil spirit. Electric arcs instantly appeared on the evil spirit's body, and it hissed as it turned into Black Smoke amidst the arcs.
If ordinary people observed very carefully, they could also see the electric spark shot from Yotsuya Miko's hand.
But if they weren't paying attention, they would just think their eyes were playing tricks on them.
However, in the eyes of Yulia, who possessed 'Spiritual Sight', Yotsuya Miko brazenly released a lightning bolt as thick as a finger from her hand, and the electric light was particularly dazzling.
"She, she, she just used it like that!" Yulia covered her face with her hands in shock.
Isn't she afraid of being discovered by ordinary people?
She looked at the ordinary passersby who seemed to see nothing, and was shocked again.
"Did she interfere with ordinary people, making them all ignore it?"
"Only Psychics like me can see it!"
"Too powerful! Excessively powerful!"
At this moment, in Yulia's eyes, Yotsuya Miko's figure seemed as tall as a mountain.
After witnessing what a true 'Psychic' was like, Yulia felt as if she had been drugged, carefully following along. Even if she might be discovered, she held her arms, gritting her teeth and persisting.
"I remember it's closer to the Upper God's Cafe if I cut through the small park," Yotsuya Miko thought for a moment, turned a corner, and entered the small park.
"She froze! Is she thinking about what spell to use next?" Yulia swallowed her saliva, her eyes wide open,
afraid of missing any details.
She turned into the park!
Are there powerful evil spirits in the park, or is she meeting other Psychics here?
Yotsuya Miko walked into the small park. She and Yurikawa Hana had walked through here many times. She stopped at the children's play area in the park.
It was already dinner time, so the children playing and the adults watching them had already gone home.
But there was still a child holding a balloon standing there, waving at her.
Yotsuya Miko was a little surprised that there was still a child at this time, and she politely waved back.
At this moment, the child stopped waving and smiled eerily, its lips stretching very long, and Black Smoke eerily rising from its body. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a child evil spirit with hands three times longer than its body, like whips, its eye sockets pitch black, and its mouth stretched to the back of its head.
"You saw it?"
"Uh—" Yotsuya Miko flinched, then instantly came to her senses, only to see the strange child evil spirit charging towards her.
This evil spirit was more powerful than any she had encountered before.
