Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

Xia Youjie and the two men were not on the same route, so they parted at the station. Master Xia said goodbye to the two men with a smile, then turned around and walked towards another station exit.

He gently stroked the stack of round coins in his pocket.

When Su Ze just came out, he quietly approached and put the money into his palm, and explained in a low voice: "There is a wisp of Qi contained in the money. Just throw it in before you subdue the curse spirit. In this way, the curse spirit ball will naturally be mixed with a little bit of Qi... The taste will not be so unbearable."

Xia Youjie looked a little bitter. He didn't expect that Su Ze was still thinking about this matter.

Although Su Ze did say before that "after improving his skills, there may be new breakthroughs in seasoning."

——This stack of money should be Su Ze’s latest progress.

Now, even if Su Ze is not with him all the time, he can still achieve the goal of improving the taste.

"...I'm sorry, my skills are not good enough. I will find a way to solve this problem completely." Su Ze finally said with a serious look.

——Because even after the improvement, the fact that it is so unpalatable that it makes people want to vomit has not fundamentally changed.

…But it feels great to have someone notice and care about you.

——Ze, you can change the curse ball, can you also change... the curse world?

Xia Youjie held the coins a little harder and took two quick steps to get into the car.

……

"Glass, your hometown is Akita..." Su Ze remembered the destination of the ticket he had just seen.

"Oh~" Glass was not very interested and answered perfunctorily.

Akita is located in the northwest of Honshu Island, far from the economic center of the Tokyo metropolitan area, but there is also a branch line of the Shinkansen that leads there. (See the comment section for the location map)

Su Ze naturally noticed that Gao Zi was abnormal, but he couldn't ask about her family affairs, so he had to change the subject, "Where is Senior Songstress? Is she still in the technical high school?"

Glass seemed to be a little happier: "Yes, after all, Utahime-senpai is in her third year, and she is much busier during her vacation... I heard that Miss Mingming is planning to recommend her as a first-level sorcerer-"

"Level 1..." Su Ze thought for a moment.

After all, he had been occupying the first-level position for a long time, and his perception of combat power was more intuitive and clear than that of Nitro...

"Why, do you also think that senior singer is a little lacking in ability?" Glass seemed to see through his thoughts.

A train was pulling into the station not far away, and its heavy rumbling sound echoed in the station—the train number and destination were announced on the radio.

——This is the train that Nozomi is going to take, and it will depart in fifteen minutes.

Su Ze sighed softly and said, "It can't be said that she is 'not strong enough', but the singer-senpai is not the type to face off head-on -"

He thought carefully about his words and said slowly, "Sister Utaha's spell is of the auxiliary type... Her direct combat power may not be as good as that of an ordinary second-level spellcaster. But it is not appropriate to use this as an excuse to deny her as a whole—"

Glass agreed with this.

After all, she herself was the same - the "Reversal Ritual" was definitely top-grade in terms of rarity and characteristics, but according to normal judging standards, she was only a fourth-level magician.

"Hehe~ Then do you have any solution? Su~Da~Special~Grade~" Glass came closer with her hands behind her back.

Su Ze didn't care about her teasing. He smiled and spread his hands and said, "Not now... but not necessarily in the future."

"After all, on the day when Mr. Yaga told us about the nomination for special grade, the olive branches from the Big Three and the top brass of Jujutsu were extended to us--" Su Ze said casually.

——They all want to win over Suze and Geto Suguru.

It may be difficult for the three great families to monopolize the special grade of free status, but the top leaders of sorcery can offer more attractive conditions.

But then again, the first special grade one was quite carefree -

The heroic and pretty face and her long golden hair appeared in their minds almost at the same time.

The train broadcast began urging passengers to get on board, and a huge crowd of passengers began to flock here, barely forming a queue.

Su Ze looked at the train that was beginning to warm up and concluded the topic: "The road ahead is long and difficult. Things always come step by step. There's no need to rush—"

He suddenly fell silent.

Glass also noticed something unusual, and they both turned around and looked inside the train.

Inside the carriage, a man carrying a heavy briefcase walked forward with a depressed look, hunched back and head lowered. A large mass of light purple paste stuck to his back, and a considerable part of it dragged on the ground. The invisible weight seemed to make the man's steps even more difficult.

The purple thing waved its tentacles, constantly absorbing the negative emotions of the passengers passing by. Its activity increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its bloated body grew larger and larger, pressing the man's back to hunch over, and his face became gray and lifeless.

The purple thing left a long trail of magic power on the ground.

--curse.

"...Level 2?" Glass asked tentatively.

"Yeah. I just broke through the second-level barrier..." Su Ze nodded slightly and frowned.

He looked serious: "But he is approaching the quasi-first-class level at a very fast speed."

Of course Su Ze was not afraid.

Not to mention the second-level cursed spirit, he can even defeat the special-level one here.

But the key is that the cursed spirit in front of him is very special - it can actually absorb cursed power in a way similar to swallowing. In just a few minutes, it has transformed from level three to level two, and is moving towards quasi-level one.

Glass understood what he meant.

"Attention, passengers! The train to Akita is about to depart. Passengers who have not yet boarded are requested to do so as soon as possible—" the announcement was made for the third time.

Su Ze's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Only Glass was left, and she looked like she had something to say.

"Can this kind of thing be produced naturally?" Su Ze tried to move as quickly as possible in the carriage, but most of the passengers were looking for seats to put their luggage, making the already narrow aisle even more cramped.

There were too many people around, and he couldn't just fly his sword over their heads... and the curse just now was not something that could be "put aside for the time being", and even the man who was used as the host might not be able to hold on for long - he didn't want to see headlines like "Middle-aged office worker dies of overwork on train due to excessive overtime work" on tomorrow's news right under his nose.

He lowered his center of gravity and a light aura spread over his body. He first nimbly turned sideways to avoid the couple who were talking, then supported the naughty kid who was playing and almost fell in the aisle; then he helped the struggling female college student to push her suitcase into the storage rack... Finally, he suddenly jumped over the empty dining car, landed steadily, and continued to run towards the front car.

The glass watch on his wrist shone with a dazzling light.

The passengers behind him only then realized that something seemed to have flashed by.

"Sir! Please don't let the children run around in the carriage--" the flight attendant warned the parents of the naughty child.

The female college student who was hit by the naughty kid breathed a sigh of relief. She almost couldn't hold the box just now. Then she turned her head to look at the figure flashing across the aisle, with a slightly puzzled look on her face.

--bass.

The clear and white "Dui" hexagram sword pierced through the curse without any obstruction.

The light purple curse spirit dissipated with an unwilling scream.

"The curse power is too high and it can't withstand any attack at all..." Su Ze frowned even more tightly.
