Of course, Yaga Masamichi knew that Miyauchi Hikage was hiding many things. For example, who exactly were those "friends" he mentioned, and how did those girls gather together in the first place?
Where did the supernatural arts he mastered, such as Hamon breathing and Kusanagi-ryu taijutsu—things that even he, the principal of Jujutsu High, had never heard of—originally come from?
However, his current strength seemed genuinely inferior to this young man in front of him.
The fact that the other party was willing to tell him so much was indeed already giving him face.
After all, having dealt with a guy like Gojo Satoru for over a decade, Yaga Masamichi was quite experienced in communicating with such distinctive geniuses.
Therefore, after sorting out what Miyauchi Hikage had said, Yaga Masamichi followed Miyauchi Hikage's topic directly, asking which of those girls he could recruit for Jujutsu High, and who among them had the highest hope of awakening that ability called a Stand.
Of course, since Miyauchi Hikage knew that there were over ten awakened Stand users here in Morioh Town, could Miyauchi Hikage also give him this list?
To this, Miyauchi Hikage also smiled: "Principal Yaga, you should work hard on these matters yourself. If I directly told you everything, perhaps you wouldn't be able to gain the approval of those Stand users."
Since Miyauchi Hikage had spoken to this extent, Yaga Masamichi could only dispel this idea.
However, even so, he and Miyauchi Hikage chatted in the room for a long time, only walking out of Miyauchi Hikage's room towards the evening.
After Yaga Masamichi left, Shinomiya Kaguya sneaked over to ask what the two of them had talked about all afternoon.
There was nothing to hide about these things, so Miyauchi Hikage quickly recounted the content.
Originally, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't take it seriously, until Miyauchi Hikage mentioned that he could sense that a few of the girls among them could indeed awaken the power of a Stand. She instantly couldn't sit still and started pressing him on who exactly could awaken a Stand.
Because of the earthquake caused by the leyline anomaly and the sudden resurrection of Ryomen Sukuna, although today was already the third day the girls had stayed in Morioh Town, they seemingly hadn't really caused any commotion in Morioh Town.
At most, they had met Tonio, a supernatural chef who awakened his Stand ability elsewhere and was attracted to Morioh Town for unknown reasons.
Over these three days, these girls truly hadn't felt any changes occurring in their bodies.
They were originally starting to feel that their luck wasn't very good and there was no way to awaken a Stand.
As a result, Miyauchi Hikage now stated that there were indeed people among them who could awaken a Stand?
So, what had Miyauchi Hikage seen with his eyes that could see through fate over these past few days?
Facing Shinomiya Kaguya's curious and eager gaze, Miyauchi Hikage first poured cold water on her.
"You have recently obtained Psychokinesis comparable to a Grade 1 supernatural being. Although this is a different ability direction from a Stand ability, an ordinary person's physique has limits. Before you completely master the power awakened in your bodies, it will probably be relatively difficult to naturally awaken other supernatural powers in a short period of time."
"Just like how you haven't awakened the power of a Persona until now. Although this doesn't mean you can't awaken abilities in this aspect, it ultimately won't be as smooth as Kisugi Ai and Sudou Ayami awakening Personas. It's more like Ichinose Chizuru, requiring some opportunities to have a chance to awaken new powers."
Receiving this answer, Shinomiya Kaguya subconsciously felt somewhat reluctant inwardly, but after suppressing this emotion, she accepted this matter quite quickly.
"So, will the power of a Stand awaken more preferentially in those girls who haven't had a supernatural awakening before?"
Miyauchi Hikage added: "Under the same circumstances, the power of a Stand is also more likely to awaken in 'geniuses' who have honed their skills to a certain level. Which girls among those who came this time do you think can meet this condition?"
Obtaining this answer, a few people who met the conditions instantly popped into Shinomiya Kaguya's mind.
First, the one who could reach the pinnacle in a certain skill among these girls seemed to be only Shiina Mashiro, a genius artist who was already capable of independently holding art exhibitions abroad.
It was just that the other party had recently obtained the reward of "Pictomancer" from the diary, so she should probably be excluded.
Below her, it was probably those who had very high gaming skills, basically the TOP-tier players of the games they played respectively: Hinami Aoi, Gokou Ruri, and Doma Umaru.
It was just that everyone had known from the Mysterious Person a long time ago that there was a high mountain called "Blank" in the gaming field of this world that everyone found difficult to cross.
Even in order to complete that S-rank mission, these three girls who were invincible across arcades gathered together in May to try and snipe the game "Blank" was currently challenging, but ended up suffering a crushing defeat.
Coupled with the fact that Gokou Ruri and Umaru had already obtained supernatural powers, if anyone was truly going to awaken a Stand, it seemed only Hinami Aoi had a bit of a chance.
Further down, it should be the girls in their group who played music.
Gotoh Hitori, whose guitar skills had already reached a professional level; Hoshino Ai, who was called a natural idol prodigy by the Mysterious Person; Tsukimi Eiko, whose singing skills were also close to a professional level but whose luck wasn't very good, and only recently managed to turn her life around slightly with Shinomiya Kaguya's help.
They belonged to those who were still a long way from the top in their respective fields, but could also be considered to have some achievements.
If there was any advantage... it was probably that the naming rules for Stands seemed to be all related to rock band song or album names, and they could directly take out their favorite songs or even songs they created themselves as their Stand names.
And then there was Kasumigaoka Utaha who had just debuted as an author, Eriri as a doujin artist, Miyanaga Teru who was said to be very good at playing mahjong and preparing to participate in the national tournament, Tadokoro Megumi whose culinary talent was evaluated as quite good by Tonio...
Recalling these girls who all had their own specialties in her mind, Shinomiya Kaguya finally thought of herself.
As the eldest young lady of the Shinomiya family, she was indeed pushed from behind by her family to be forced to master many skills from childhood to adulthood.
Art, music, martial arts. If you really broke it down, she seemed to have indeed mastered many things.
Especially in Kyudo (Japanese archery), because she occasionally shot an ideal arrow in middle school, she had always been pursuing the realm called "Seisha Hichu" (correct shooting inevitably hits) in Kyudo, and won the championship in the individual competition of the national tournament during middle school.
Also because of this, when she practiced Psychokinesis, it was easier for her to manipulate her Psychokinesis as arrows.
It's just that recently, due to stepping into the Inner World, she had somewhat relaxed her Kyudo practice.
Although she didn't know what the "opportunity" Miyauchi Hikage spoke of required, she also knew that if she really wanted to obtain a Stand ability, then perhaps she would have to continue maintaining her refinement in Kyudo.
She wondered if senior Zenin Maki had any insights into Kyudo.
Otherwise, with her strength, it would really be hard to find someone who could guide her in Kyudo.
However, she didn't know that right beside her was Miyauchi Hikage, who had completely copied all the skills of a certain Archer.
After all, that Emiya Shirou, under the circumstance where his Origin and Elemental Affinity were both "Sword", still managed to reach the realm of "Seisha Hichu" not long after coming into contact with Kyudo.
Even after completely mastering Projection Magecraft, bows and arrows had always been one of his main attack methods.
Even when executing missions for the Counter Force after death, he mostly used bows and arrows as an assassination method.
When he finally participated in the Holy Grail War, he was almost never summoned under the Saber class, basically always appearing in the world under the Archer class.
With such Kyudo talent, one wonders what level Emiya Shirou could have reached in Kyudo if his Origin and Elemental Affinity were both "Bow".
On the other side, thinking about her Kyudo, Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head slightly, then her gaze towards Miyauchi Hikage took on an innocent smile.
Although she knew Miyauchi Hikage was already very clear about her true nature, occasionally acting cute in front of this young man was still somewhat useful.
"So, Hikage-kun, since you can see so many things, then do you know what opportunity I need to awaken a Stand ability?"
She had now started to suspect whether Miyauchi Hikage had already awakened some Stand ability, otherwise how could he be so clear about the power of Stands?
Don't listen to Miyauchi Hikage saying that it's difficult for people who just completed supernatural awakening to awaken a Stand through natural means.
But since Miyauchi Hikage had already said so, it meant that the other party should have tried many methods to awaken a Stand these past few days, and might even have obtained a Stand through some means, it's just that the method was more troublesome, so Miyauchi Hikage didn't directly say it out loud?
Looking at Shinomiya Kaguya who suddenly shifted the topic to him, a smile appeared on Miyauchi Hikage's face.
It wasn't surprising that Shinomiya Kaguya had such fast reaction speed.
"You're right, I indeed know," Miyauchi Hikage first nodded, but then shook his head again.
"It's just that it requires paying a huge price, and there's even a very high possibility that it will lead to your deaths. Even my power of fate cannot see through the probability of surviving using that method, so I wouldn't recommend you use that method."
But these words instead aroused Shinomiya Kaguya's curiosity: "So, Hikage-kun, have you already obtained a Stand ability?"
She pressed on somewhat concernedly, and then saw Miyauchi Hikage shrug, then spread his hands and answer: "I can only say not yet."
Then, Miyauchi Hikage directly stretched out his hand, signaling Shinomiya Kaguya to look towards his palm.
At first glance, Shinomiya Kaguya could only see Miyauchi Hikage's slender and good-looking hand, and didn't even react at first.
It wasn't until Miyauchi Hikage pointed to the middle of his palm with another finger, and Shinomiya Kaguya widened her eyes and leaned closer, that she discovered that in Miyauchi Hikage's hand at this time was an item the size of an ordinary grain of sand, which seemed no different from ordinary sand.
"This is...?"
Shinomiya Kaguya was somewhat puzzled.
"This is the source of a Stand's power."
With one sentence from Miyauchi Hikage, Shinomiya Kaguya immediately let out an exclamation. If Miyauchi Hikage hadn't reacted quickly, this meteorite fragment would probably have been blown away by the other party's movement.
Shinomiya Kaguya stood up, and her gaze towards Miyauchi Hikage also couldn't help but become shocked.
Although the Mysterious Person had already mentioned the source of Stands in the diary before.
But those meteorite fragments were buried deep underground and hard to detect, and she didn't know what form they appeared in either.
So the girls, including Shinomiya Kaguya in her heart, although having some thoughts about these meteorites, completely never thought about finding them.
Who knew that Miyauchi Hikage seemed to have done nothing these past few days, but directly found such a centerpiece item.
"This is not genuine. It's a fake I created using the Projection technique. The real genuine article is still buried under the coastline of Morioh Town."
Miyauchi Hikage continued to explain: "The night before yesterday, when Mr. Gojo and I were adjusting the leylines of Morioh Town, we already discovered their existence. Yesterday, I went to find a way to investigate it. I originally wanted to directly take it away, but my power of fate kept warning me not to casually touch them, otherwise it might cause some bad things to happen."
"So, I used the Projection technique and consumed a small half of my magic power to finally complete the projection of it." Miyauchi Hikage said pointing at the grain of sand in his hand.
Of course, because of the Jeweled Sword, Miyauchi Hikage no longer cared about the issue of magic power, but it sounded completely different to Shinomiya Kaguya's ears.
She clearly knew what kind of power Miyauchi Hikage had. The other party could "copy" all the Cursed Objects and materials of the entire Jujutsu High in an afternoon.
He could even relatively easily project that cursed demigod heart.
As a result, just this small, seemingly inconspicuous thing could consume so much of Miyauchi Hikage's power. Just from this point alone, one could see how mysterious this thing was.
"So... can it also make people awaken a Stand?" Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Miyauchi Hikage knowingly, wanting to get a definite answer.
Miyauchi Hikage nodded: "Perhaps you can't see or feel it, but this thing indeed constantly radiates some special power fluctuations outward. And it is exactly the stimulation of these power fluctuations that has a probability of making humans awaken the power of a Stand."
"And this thing also only increases its outward stimulation at certain specific points in time. So normally, there are only a few points in time throughout a year where it will create a few new Stand users. For example, the earthquake caused by the leyline anomaly the night before yesterday stimulated its power, and precisely because of this, I was able to discover its existence."
He paused, and then continued: "And besides waiting for a specific time, to maximize the effect of this stimulation, it is naturally to let one's flesh and blood directly come into contact with it."
