Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 309 The Use of [Imitation]
"You all need to work together in this limited area to exorcise the special-grade cursed spirit that I have selected. No one will interfere in any process, not even your death..."

Shen Yuanyi's pretending to be serious expression and words obviously scared several first-year students. After realizing it was not a joke, the expressions of both sides were not very good. However, the second-year students, especially those from Tokyo Curse High School, were very relaxed.

Hyō Jinci just raised his eyebrows and looked at other people's reactions with a gloating look. Although Xing Qiluolu was not that scared, she also looked frightened.

What a joke! They “died” at the hands of Shenyuan many times in the past. These first-year guys may not know this yet, so let them be scared for a while. It will be quite interesting.

The pandas did know some things, but now was not the time to explain them, so they could only listen to Shen Yuanyi announce the specific details of the exchange meeting.

"And there is no time limit for exorcising the cursed spirits, until you succeed... or all fail."

Shen Yuanyi stepped down from the stage, indicating that he had finished speaking and it was time for the principal of Leyan Temple to speak. The students of both schools thought, "As expected," as this was one of the things they had expected.

That is, the information about the cursed spirit will not be revealed, and everything must be searched and tested after the official start. This process is undoubtedly very dangerous, and if things go wrong, the first casualties will occur.

But this seems to be as it should be. There are twelve of them, and each of them even has two powerful weapons, Todou Aoi and Hyō Kinji. Ordinary special-grade cursed spirits can probably be exorcised quickly by the two of them working together. If there is really no difficulty at all, then wouldn't this exchange meeting be extremely boring?

"I hope both sides will abandon the idea of ​​fighting and work together to exorcise this special-grade cursed spirit. The outcome of this exchange will not be determined by ordinary methods, but by everyone's performance in the battle. In the end, the teachers of both sides will give a comprehensive score. The judges are: Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru, Utahime Iori, and Nanami Kento..."

After these polite remarks, the principal of Leyan Temple returned to his seat, and the exchange meeting was then announced to officially begin. Students from both sides will go to the preset starting point together.

……

"I say, are you all so calm? You just said we might die!"

In the forest, Sanlunxia couldn't help but speak. How could a good exchange meeting involve the risk of death? Wasn't it agreed that it was just a "friendly" exchange between the two schools?

Miwa Kasumi, who has no skills and very limited combat power, is very panicked. That is a special-grade cursed spirit. Is it true that she is going to exorcise a special-grade cursed spirit?

Todou Aoi grinned but said nothing. Otsutsuki and the others in Tokyo were also in a serious mood. When Panda was about to explain, Kamo Kenki from Kyoto spoke first.

"Hey, that was just to scare you. You all know the principal of Tokyo Juju High School, Shen Genichi."

Everyone nodded. Even Kasumi Miwa, who had just entered the world of sorcery, knew the legend of this person from other people's stories. After all, the legends of other special-grade sorcerers were all inextricably linked to him. The two most popular special-grade sorcerers today, and even the teachers and singers in Kyoto, were all his former students.

Kamo Kenji decided to tell the truth, so that the first-year students who didn't know the truth wouldn't get into trouble during the battle. Although he didn't know whether this was good or bad for them...

"You also know that his spell is 'Time', right?"

After getting everyone's answers, Kamo Kenji continued, "Have you ever thought about what kind of changes in time his technique would involve for someone at that level?"

Most of the first-year students looked thoughtful, and soon Maki's expression changed and she looked at Kamo Kenki or the second-year students on both sides.

"No way...you mean..."

Dongtang was walking in front and laughing. He turned around, showing his big white teeth and said the answer.

"Yes, it's 'Time Reversal'!"

The marching team suddenly stopped for a moment. They had naturally seen many "miracles" called spells. But wasn't it a miracle that Zenin Shinji's [Construction Technique] in Kyoto could create matter out of nothing?

But the power of a curse will always depend on the realm of the person who masters it. Mayi's technique can only allow her to "construct" a limited amount of matter within a period of time, which is roughly the amount of a few bullets. This is why she uses a revolver as a weapon.

For family forces like the Three Great Families that have the same ancestral technique, the strength of each generation of people who awaken this technique is different, but this principle is universal for all sorcerers.

Yes...the teacher of the two top-grade magicians is also a top-grade magician, so his control over the techniques must have reached an unimaginable level. And the concept of time, which is so familiar to us, is not difficult to associate with this level when the mind thinks of it.

"That is to say, we may die, and the teachers won't care. But after the final victory or defeat, the time of the dead will be reversed and death will be rewritten..."

Kamo Kenji nodded to show his agreement with Maki's words. Otsutsukoshi Yuta, who was standing beside him, had a deeper feeling about this at this time. He finally understood what Kamigōichi meant when he said to him at that time, "If you don't have the reversal of the [Wheel of Time], try to use it as little as possible."

The answer is so simple. How to solve the problem that excessive time acceleration will consume life? Just reverse your own time.

Thinking of this, Otsutsuki couldn't help but have a question that many people who know this would have: That person...how long can he live or has he lived?

"But, doesn't it mean you could die if you're not careful? Aren't you afraid?"

"Haha, don't be scared. It's just like you just slept for a while, except that someone woke you up this time."

Everyone chatted for a while as they walked, and after a long while the topic finally returned to the main topic, which was about communicating information with each other.

The second-year students of both schools had gotten to know each other in the last exchange meeting, but since there was a group of freshmen, it was a good opportunity for them to get to know each other as they would be exorcising an unknown special-grade cursed spirit together. No one had any special spells, so they quickly introduced themselves in turn.

Hyō Kinji's 'modern techniques' related to gambling that were in line with his nature and the fact that he was the only one among everyone who could expand his domain attracted everyone's attention. However, according to him, his domain was very special and had no lethality at all, so it was difficult for him to gain any advantage in a domain battle with others.

There's not much to say about Toudou's technique, [Unjust Game] has a simple and brutal effect, and is very effective in close combat.

【Puppet Manipulation】, Mechanical Maru whose body is a robot, 【Construction Technique】, 【Fusou Manipulation Technique】, Shinji Zenin and Momo Nishimiya who provide long-range attack support, and Kenji Kamo who uses the 【Red Blood Manipulation】, an ancestral technique of the Kamo family.

There are Miwa Kasumi and Zenin Maki who have no skills but rely on the New Yin-Ryu, and another one who relies on the physical abilities brought by heaven and curse binding, the curse master Inuma Satoru, the suddenly mutated cursed panda, and Xing Qiluo Luo whose skill is [Interstellar Flight] which is more inclined to auxiliary control.

But if we were to say whose technique is the most eye-catching, it would naturally be Yuta Otsutsuki's, his technique [Imitation], a technique that can possess the techniques of everyone present.

"Huh? How can there be such a cheating technique? This is a skill that only the protagonists in light novels have, right?"

Nishimiya Momo in Kyoto exclaimed in disbelief, and the expressions of the others were similar. Only Toudou Aoi was concerned about one thing.

"Does your technique have any limitations? If so, you don't have to tell me. If necessary, how can you copy my technique?"

Aoi Todou's brain, which seemed to be born for combat, began to work rapidly at this moment. If this technique did not have any major or difficult limitations, no, as long as the imitated technique could exert about 80% of its full potential, there would be a lot that could be done in a cooperative battle.

How unpredictable would it be if two [Injustice Games] switched positions? Kamo's killer move consumes too much energy, so wouldn't it be possible for them to use their ultimate moves together? Wouldn't it be possible for them to double cast their spells?

If this guy named Otsutsuki had imitated other people's spells... yes, as a freshman at Tokyo Juu High School, could that person's spells be his...

Here, Kasumi Miwa asked the question for Toudou: "If there are no restrictions on such a cheating technique, then wouldn't it mean that you can even imitate the technique of Master Shenyuan?"

Otsutsuki rubbed his head and smiled innocently: "Well... yes, my technique is slow to imitate, and then the teacher took special care of me and allowed me to successfully imitate his technique."

"【Wheel of Time】."

After seeing the obvious dazed expressions of the crowd, Otsutsuki quickly explained: "Uh... I can only imitate the forward rotation of the technique, which is the time acceleration ability of Master Genichi. And it is not fast or continuous enough, so it can only be used as a trump card."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they realized, this is also very powerful, okay? Tokyo then explained something that Otsutsuki forgot to say, that is, excessive use of this technique is equivalent to consuming one's own lifespan.

Because Otsutsuki cannot imitate the ability that would potentially undo their deaths - the reversal of time.

Everyone in Kyoto suddenly realized that it could indeed only be used as a trump card, but this guy was not only able to imitate one technique. How should I describe this technique... It was so powerful that one could see the special future at a glance.

"You are a distant relative of the Gojo family, and you have the blood of Sugawara Michizane? Gojo..."

Thinking of the most dazzling person with this surname, everyone seemed to feel that Otsutsuki's "outrageousness" was not unacceptable. After all, that person was so powerful that everyone could only marvel at him!
"Then, what about Gojo Satoru's [No Limits]? Have you ever copied it?"

Otsutsuki sighed. Of course he had tried it. It was even Gojo Satoru who enthusiastically asked him to try it. Naturally, he failed, just like the other members of the Gojo family who had awakened this technique. Without the Six Eyes, this technique could not even use one percent of its full power.

Only through persistent practice can one make some rudimentary applications. It is absolutely impossible to be as good as Gojo Satoru in defense, displacement and attack.

"No... The only techniques I can use right now are Genichi's Wheel of Time and Goumaki's Incantation."

"Salmon!"

The main reason is that Yuta Otsutsuki has participated in too few curse missions. The first-level cursed spirit he encountered that time had a spell that was not suitable for humans. It was impossible for Yuta Otsutsuki to turn into an unknown monster like a puddle of mud, right?
There was no need to imitate some rubbish spells. His most common battle rhythm was to rely on cursed power to fight, and use [Spell] or [Wheel of Time] to make the final decision at the critical moment.

"Okay, Otsutsukota... before you fight that unknown cursed spirit, you should imitate my technique first."

Toudou made this decision almost without hesitation, which made Otsukoshi stunned for a moment. Then the latter also felt the pure and burning will and readily agreed.

"Feel sorry……"

Kamo Kenji shook his head: "This is a family matter. I may not be able to let Otsutsuki imitate my technique."

Before this, the sorcerer's technique belonged to whoever it belonged to, and there had never been any record of it being taken away by others. But now that there was someone who could obtain other people's techniques, Kamo Kenshin was no longer qualified to decide to let Otsutsuki copy the [Red Blood Manipulation Technique].

Otsutsukotsu immediately expressed his understanding. He now naturally understood the difficulty of this situation. Therefore, he admired Toudou's indifference, as well as his respect for Genichi and Gojo.

Dong Tang waved his hand: "That's enough. Even if he imitates your technique, don't let yourself get anemic and be forced to withdraw from the battle without a spare blood pack."

"Then let's complete these final preparations and go find that special-grade cursed spirit and smash it into pieces!"
