The smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated.
The Grade 1 Cursed Spirit, Ubusunagami, had been thoroughly exorcised.
The two individuals not far away, who were severely injured, had also fallen unconscious.
A flash of light blue light flickered, and Heroic Spirit Emiya appeared beside the two.
After Yuki Tsukumo visited Jujutsu High, Eiji had instructed Shuji Zenin to constantly monitor the missions posted at the school.
Upon seeing that Kento Nanami and Yuu Hayama had accepted a mission to exorcise a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit, Ubusunagami, this morning, he immediately contacted Heroic Spirit Emiya, who was the closest to them.
Heroic Spirit Emiya also arrived at the mission location at the fastest possible speed.
However, Heroic Spirit Emiya did not rush to act.
For a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit, even from a distance, he was confident he could kill it with a single shot using his superb archery skills.
And it wouldn't harm Kento Nanami and Yuu Hayama.
In fact, if Kento Nanami hadn't arrived in time, Heroic Spirit Emiya would have already loosed an arrow when Yuu Hayama was about to be bitten by Ubusunagami's massive jaws.
As for why he didn't directly intervene to help the two?
Because this was Kento Nanami and Yuu Hayama's mission, their growth.
People often say there is great terror between life and death.
Those who have experienced life and death undergo significant changes in their mindset.
Just like Kento Nanami chose to enter society after losing Yuu Hayama, and Satoru Gojo attained enlightenment in Jujutsu High between life and death, believing himself to be supreme.
A guaranteed life-or-death crisis can make one recognize many things.
Therefore, Heroic Spirit Emiya did not act immediately.
Instead, he silently waited in the background until the last moment.
"Well done, young men."
Heroic Spirit Emiya provided basic treatment for the severely injured duo and then projected a grenade.
Pulling the pin, Heroic Spirit Emiya tossed the grenade out of the Curtain.
Since Yuu Hayama had intentionally drawn the Cursed Spirit, Ubusunagami, away, the battlefield had moved far from the center, reaching the edge of the Curtain.
Thus, Heroic Spirit Emiya only needed a slight effort to throw the grenade outside the Curtain's coverage area.
The Curtains set up by Assistant Supervisors during missions usually do not have a sealing effect.
This is because stationary Cursed Spirits are more numerous, and they do not easily leave their nests.
Therefore, the Curtains of Assistant Supervisors are more for concealing and masking the battle within, serving to block vision and sound.
The purpose is to prevent social panic.
So, even though gunshots and the sound of grenades could be heard from inside the Curtain, the Assistant Supervisor outside did not hear them.
But this time, he did hear a sound.
Boom.
The explosion of the grenade sounded outside the Curtain.
The Assistant Supervisor, who was waiting in the car, immediately opened the door and got out.
"That sound just now?"
The Assistant Supervisor immediately realized something.
The noise from the battle had moved outside the Curtain's range, meaning Kento Nanami and Yuu Hayama might be fleeing for their lives.
The Assistant Supervisor's body trembled slightly.
He was worried about the two Jujutsu Sorcerers, who he still saw as children, on the mountain, and also afraid of a Cursed Spirit that even Jujutsu Sorcerers couldn't exorcise.
"Damn it, I can't just stand by."
The Assistant Supervisor hurried up the mountain, his fingers hovering over the dial button.
As soon as he confirmed the situation inside, he would immediately call for reinforcements.
Soon, a scene of ruins came into view.
A Torii Gate blown away by an earthen wall, a shrine that had collapsed in the great earthquake, and a path through the forest gouged out by the Cursed Spirit's massive body.
The Assistant Supervisor ran into the mountains and soon found the two severely injured individuals lying on the ground.
"They're badly hurt, but thankfully no vital organs were hit."
The Assistant Supervisor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately made a call, but it wasn't for reinforcements; it was to summon nearby medical personnel to come and assist quickly.
If one doesn't have sufficient knowledge and skills, it's best not to move severely injured individuals carelessly.
He could handle minor injuries himself, but he was worried that by moving them, he might worsen their condition.
Having done all he could.
The Assistant Supervisor began to carefully survey his surroundings.
Numerous broken trees, massive craters on the ground...
And the cursed energy in the air, not yet fully dissipated, that made his body tremble slightly.
"Grade 1... Honestly, what are those guys at The Window doing!"
The Assistant Supervisor angrily cursed The Window a few times.
A Grade 2 Cursed Spirit and a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit were completely different.
"Two more geniuses..."
The Assistant Supervisor looked at the two unconscious people on the ground.
"Two more geniuses... Jujutsu High in Tokyo has really been producing talent in recent years. As for Kyoto..."
The Assistant Supervisors often kept in contact with each other, mainly to inquire about the personalities and strengths of the Jujutsu Sorcerers they were responsible for.
In a sense, they were also semi-service personnel; while performing their auxiliary and logistical duties, they also had to take good care of the Jujutsu Sorcerers accompanying them.
Therefore, he was also aware of the situation with the students at Kyoto Jujutsu High in recent years.
He heard that most of the students from Kyoto Jujutsu High came from The Three Great Families, and when partnering with them, one not only had to be respectful but was also easily scolded.
In comparison, the Jujutsu Sorcerers from Tokyo Jujutsu High had much better personalities.
Soon, someone arrived on the mountain with a stretcher and took the two severely injured youths away.
They would receive some treatment for Kento Nanami and Yuu Hayama, and after their condition stabilized, they would be sent back to Jujutsu High.
There, Shoko Ieiri, the full-time healer, would make them completely well.
Heroic Spirit Emiya, hidden behind a large tree, silently left after witnessing this scene.
This was the achievement of the two youths; he was not suited to be present.
Once Heroic Spirit Emiya appeared, the nature of the matter would change.
Even if Heroic Spirit Emiya vouched that the Grade 1 Cursed Spirit was exorcised by the two, not everyone would believe it.
...
Jujutsu High Infirmary.
Shoko Ieiri, having completed her treatment, was flipping through the mission report submitted by the Assistant Supervisor.
"Grade 1 Cursed Spirit Ubusunagami, mistakenly identified as a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit due to an error by The Window. Corresponding punishment has been issued to The Window for providing the intelligence."
Did that little punishment really help?
Feeling depressed, Shoko Ieiri opened the window and lit a cigarette.
"Hoo."
Exhaling a smoke ring, Shoko Ieiri turned to look at the two still unconscious individuals.
She remembered asking Eiji a while ago why he suddenly wanted to put them through hellish training.
Eiji's answer was that he hoped they could fight against Grade 1 Cursed Spirits, or at the very least, escape from them.
'If those two had died... I would have been sad for a while, I suppose.'
Shoko Ieiri had a good impression of the two.
Compared to her three classmates, these two juniors were practically little angels, model junior students.
Click.
The sound of a door opening, Eiji entered the infirmary, looking a bit travel-worn from rushing.
"How's the situation?"
Seeing the two lying intact on the infirmary beds, Eiji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wouldn't be at ease without confirming with his own eyes that Yuu Hayama was still whole.
"Don't worry, thanks to you, they're both fine."
Shoko Ieiri extinguished her cigarette in the ashtray.
"That's good."
