Chapter 47: Special Grade Cursed Spirit
"This time, the target of the purification mission is in Hokkaido. The two of us will work together to carry it out."
"The association is paying close attention to the sudden surge of cursed spirits in Hokkaido. There have been frequent earthquakes lately, and the number of cursed spirits has increased drastically."
"Our target is a Grade 1 cursed spirit. We need to get there as soon as possible."
Yagyū Hidetsugu glanced at the kendo master beside him with a helpless expression.
Although he was a Grade 1 sorcerer of the Yagyū clan, in a family deeply rooted in kendo tradition, swordsmanship still held the highest authority.
As a sorcerer, he had little confidence in evaluating a future kendo master. If not for the clan's orders, he would have refused this task entirely.
And now, right after the Yagyū clan's kendo master had just lost a challenge, they were assigning Shunichi this mission? It was obvious—they were deliberately targeting him.
They even chose Hokkaido, far from Tokyo, as the mission site. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the true intent was to remove Shunichi from the Gojo family.
Yagyū Hidetsugu sighed. Even within a smaller family like the Yagyū, political schemes were everywhere.
In a leading clan like the Gojo family, internal strife was undoubtedly even more intense.
As someone born into the Yagyū family, who had benefited from it, he had no choice but to follow orders.
