Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1242 - 905: The Second-Year Upperclassmen

Time passed quietly as Reiger immersed himself in the development of techniques.

Unknowingly, there was only about half a month left until the Capital City sister school exchange event.

On this day, after leaving his dorm room, Reiger did not head towards the forest as usual.

He deliberately waited for Fushiguro Megumi, and only when Fushiguro Megumi came out of his room did he meet up with him.

"Are you going to see the second-year seniors?"

Fushiguro Megumi was surprised at Reiger’s intention.

"Yes," Reiger responded straightforwardly, "Since we’ll be teammates at the exchange event, we should meet at least once."

"And, Gojo-sensei also asked me to go and have a look."

"You and Kugisaki are still training with the second-year students, right? So let’s go have a look today."

Reiger had basically reached a conclusion in the development of the [Dimensional Slash].

Although he couldn’t call it a complete success yet, it had already proven that his previous approach was correct.

Now, Reiger successfully merged [Black Flash] into the sword, allowing him to use it in slashes to cause spatial distortion, which is using space distortion to create a spatial cutting method, something he could barely achieve.

What’s left is to continuously improve the skill, increase the success rate, until it can be used in actual combat.

This is a slow and detailed process, but as long as he continues, he will eventually succeed.

So, Reiger decided to take a little break from training and had some free time to meet the second-year students.

As for Itadori Yuji, he has been following the Grade 1 Curse Mage who is guiding him on missions, so Reiger hasn’t seen much of him.

Currently, among the four first-year students, Reiger trains alone, Itadori Yuji follows an already graduated Grade 1 Curse Mage to familiarize himself with the abilities and tasks of a Curse Mage, while Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara improve their skills together with the second-year seniors, reportedly learning a lot from them.

Therefore, Reiger, who planned to visit the second-year students, naturally asked Fushiguro Megumi, who lived in the same dormitory building, to guide him.

"Alright."

Fushiguro Megumi thought for a moment and nodded in understanding.

After all, he had no reason to refuse, right?

Thus, led by Fushiguro Megumi, Reiger headed towards the training grounds of the Curse Technique High School.

That was where Fushiguro Megumi and the others had been training in the past two months.

......

The training ground at Curse Technique High School was no different from those at ordinary schools.

Not only did it have vast grass fields, but also tracks for warming up.

When Reiger arrived here, the first thing he heard was a loud roar.

"Push on! Two more rounds!"

The one shouting was Kugisaki Nobara, dressed in sportswear and running on the track.

She seemed to be exercising her stamina, continuing to run breathlessly, still shouting and panting, sweating profusely as she ran.

Beside the track, another sporty girl was shouting at Kugisaki Nobara.

"Faster, faster! Even faster! Can you use Curse Techniques well at this speed? Run with more spirit!"

Listening to this sporty girl’s shout, Reiger almost had several question marks appear over his head.

"What does running speed have to do with using Curse Techniques well?"

He didn’t say this out loud.

But judging by his appearance, Fushiguro Megumi seemed to understand somewhat, his facial expression turning a bit awkward.

"Oh?"

A somewhat goofy voice reached Reiger and Fushiguro Megumi.

"Is there a guest? With a white uniform?"

The one saying this...no, it wasn’t a person, rather a certain presence suddenly appeared from the side.

It was a large...panda, bigger than any of the teenagers present.

Yes, a panda.

Like a life-sized plush, yet as agile as a person, the panda bolted towards them.

"Curse Corpse..."

Upon seeing the large panda, Reiger blinked and exclaimed reflexively.

Seeing this, Fushiguro Megumi spoke up to introduce.

"This is Panda-senpai from the second year, as you can see, it’s a Curse Corpse."

Strictly speaking, it should be described as a suddenly mutated Curse Corpse.

The Curse Corpse mentioned earlier by Reiger, crafted personally by Principal Yaga Masamichi, possessing intelligence and life similar to a human, was this very panda before them.

"That’s right, I’m Panda."

The panda gestured by drawing circles above its head, speaking to Reiger with a goofy voice as if selling its cuteness mischievously.

"How rare, Fushiguro actually brought someone over here. A face I’ve never seen before, are you also a first-year student?"

The panda asked Reiger curiously, looking completely harmless.

But if anyone dares to underestimate the panda, they would probably get into a lot of trouble.

Because he is a semi-second-grade Curse Mage, his strength is not weaker than Fushiguro Megumi, and in some aspects, he’s even superior.

"Hello, Senior Panda." Reiger looked at the panda with slight interest, then smiled and said, "I’m a first-year student, the same year as Fushiguro and Kugisaki, please take care of me."

"Mmm, please take care of me." The panda nodded its big, honest head, scratching its chin and said: "What a polite junior, didn’t look down on the panda for being a panda, no wonder you can wear the white uniform like Yuta."

"...Wearing a white uniform isn’t really a good thing, right?"

Fushiguro Megumi couldn’t help but interject.

You know, in the Magic School, wearing a white uniform means you’re a problem child.

Seeing this uniform, Panda must have recognized Reiger’s identity, but was pretending not to know, making Fushiguro Megumi want to complain.

"That’s not true, Yuta is a good kid, right?" Panda grinned and said, "Wait, I’ll call the others over."

Saying this, the panda turned aside and called out.

"Makki! Toge! The first-year student in the rumors has arrived!"

Panda’s shout immediately caught the attention of the sporty girl by the track.

"That first-year student?"

The girl raised her eyebrows, ignored Kugisaki Nobara, and walked over directly.

"Kelp."

Another boy appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, emerging from the flower bushes on the side, hands in his pockets, walking towards them.

Reiger raised his head and took in the two of them at a glance.

The girl has a tall figure, with a pair of slender brown eyes, deep green hair tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, and wears glasses that give her the appearance of an athletic girl. At a closer look, she exudes the aura of a confident woman, and her sharp gaze can easily intimidate inexperienced boys and girls.

The boy has short white hair, dressed in sportswear, not very tall but with a unique aura, as if difficult to provoke, yet seemingly easy to bully. Though his sense of presence isn’t strong, closely observing him would make one unable to ignore him, as if something terrible might happen if overlooked, demanding attention.

As the two approached, Fushiguro Megumi once again introduced, pointing to the white-haired boy.

"This is Senior Inumaki Toge, he is a descendant of the Curse Masters, very strong, and is about to become a first-grade Curse Mage. Due to his Curse, he usually speaks in rice ball ingredients."

The so-called Curse Master refers to a mage who uses language to activate sorcery.

The words spoken by Curse Masters become Curses, causing harm to Curse Spirits and even other Curse Mages, and can even control the opponent’s actions with their Curses.

This is a very frightening sorcery. In terms of notoriety, it probably is no less renowned than the techniques passed down by the prestigious families.

Reiger is also very interested in [Curse], after all, in some way, it is akin to the power that becomes reality upon speaking.

This kind of ability is something even he, who has mastered a thousand types of Magic, cannot achieve.

Thanks to this, Reiger took a few more glances at Inumaki Toge, especially at the mouth covered by his upturned collar.

"This is Senior Zenin Maki."

Fushiguro Megumi introduced the sporty girl.

"Hearing the name, you should understand, Senior Zenin is someone from one of the prestigious families, the Zenin Family, and is somewhat related to me."

Upon hearing this, the girl who came over immediately glared at Fushiguro Megumi.

"Haven’t I told you? Don’t call me by my family name!" Zenin Maki retorted with a sharp tone, her attitude can be described as fierce, saying, "I just happened to be born into that annoying family. Unlike you, I didn’t inherit the Zenin Family techniques, I’ve already run away from home, so stop associating me with that family!"

Unlike Fushiguro Megumi, who does not belong to the Zenin Family due to his father’s marriage into another family, Zenin Maki is undoubtedly of the Zenin Family’s bloodline.

However, she didn’t inherit the Zenin Family techniques and even her talent in sorcery can be described as almost nonexistent.

Reiger could sense that Zenin Maki’s sorcerer energy is very, very weak, likely at the same level as an ordinary person.

In such circumstances, she cannot even see Curses, relying entirely on the special glasses on her face to see Curses or Curse Spirits.

Under these conditions, although Fushiguro Megumi didn’t outright say it, Zenin Maki, unlike Inumaki Toge and Panda, is clearly just a fourth-grade Curse Mage.

But again, if anyone underestimates Zenin Maki because of this, they’re likely to regret it.

This girl might be more special than Panda and Inumaki Toge, even surpassing Fushiguro Megumi, who has [Ten Shadow Techniques].

If Fushiguro Megumi can’t control the last shikigami, in terms of potential and talent, he’s truly not a match for Zenin Maki.

"Hello."

Reiger nodded to Zenin Maki and Inumaki Toge.

"Mayonnaise."

Inumaki Toge nodded back at Reiger, responding to him.

Only Zenin Maki crossed her arms, blatantly sizing up Reiger for a moment before speaking.

"So, you’re the first-year newcomer, rumored to be special grade, just like Yuta?"

Zenin Maki maintained her sharp attitude, speaking to Reiger as if she was the villain.

"I heard you almost tore down the whole Magic School, didn’t expect you to be quite fierce, junior."

This was pretty much revealing his embarrassing past.
