Chapter 43 - The Broken Clue (1/2)
Due to the cultivation, Kazuki had awakened his Yin and Yang eyes and was able to see things that ordinary people could not.
But the world was marvelous, even the Yin and Yang eyes had their limitations. Hence, he was now using a secret technique called Peeking Eyes. This secret technique was explicitly developed by the combat division of the Spiritual Academy to examine situations and was very comprehensive.
However, the secret technique was still in a semi-finished state before Kazuki time-traveled. It was said that the combat division had burst eyeballs of thousands of death rows to develop this secret technique.
The Peeking Eyes could see through any spiritual objects, including the cultivator's body condition, and the enchanted talisman, Taoist instrument, and spiritual instrument on the body. When the Peeking Eyes was developed, it was immediately classified as confidential, and the non-core members were not allowed to practice so as not to expose to the public.
Before the battle began, if the combat division of the Spiritual Academy used the Peeking Eyes, the enemy's body condition, the amount of enchanted talisman, and the type of weapon could all be known. It could completely crush the opponent in the aspect of information.
It was not until some people developed similar means, that the level of secrecy of the Peeking Eyes was lowered, and Kazuki was able to find out about this secret technique.
Moreover, it was rumored that when this secret technique was still in the study of transformation, the talented researcher of the combat division had said that he would give the Peeking Eyes the ability to spot the enemy's deadly weakness in the battle.
It was just that this ability had not been developed when Kazuki time-travelled. However, Kazuki had no doubt in the combat division's successful development but felt that it would merely be a difference in timing.
Like the earlier Ghost Expelling Talisman, it only had the simple function of exorcism at first. The hard work of the members of the Enchanted Talisman Division in research had successfully developed up to four types of Ghost Expelling Talisman.
The Ghost Expelling Talisman that Kazuki used was named Exorcism Type III, and it belonged to the third generation. It had the function of healing, defense, and attack, and played a huge role.
After not being able to develop a new type of Ghost Expelling Talisman, the Spiritual Academy classified this generation of Ghost Expelling Talisman as the orthodox.
The Spirit Stabilizer Talisman was the same as well. He was using the Spirit Stabilizer Talisman of the fifth generation, and it 'stabilized' to an extreme extent. This was why the Spirit Stabilizer Talisman was still working although his strength was so much worse than the Multi-armed Demon.
Of course, there was one drawback to the Peeking Eyes, where it would extremely exhaust reiki. This might not be a disadvantage in the age of recuperation of reiki, but now it was a big flaw to Kazuki.
Just as he started using it, he could feel that more than half of the reiki in his body had instantly dissipated! However, the function of the Peeking Eyes was so powerful that Kazuki could immediately see the strangeness in Mai Kujo.
The figures around became blurry all of a sudden, and Kazuki could observe the strangeness in Mai Kujo.
The strangest thing was that there was a fist-sized spiritual light under the neck of Mai Kujo. It seemed to be from a necklace worn around her neck.
However, Mai Kujo was wearing kimono, so he did not know how the necklace would look like.
Kazuki was surprised to find that Mai Kujo's body condition was deplorable, and her vitality was feeble... It was like the light of a firefly as if it could be killed at any moment.
He wanted to observe again, but the reiki of his body had been exhausted. He exited from the state of the Peeking Eyes immediately in the next moment. His eyes burst with soreness, and he could not restrain the flow of tears.
Fortunately, Furuhashi Akino and Fuyuno were both focusing on Mai Kujo and did not notice the abnormality of Kazuki
Kazuki closed his eyes to rest, and there was already speculation in his heart about that spiritual light.
When Mai Kujo received the certificate of professional mahjong player issued by the Japanese Mahjong Federation, she took the microphone and gave a speech. The audience only began to leave reluctantly after ten minutes.
Of course, there was some audience who stayed, hoping to get the signature or photo of Mai Kujo.
Furuhashi Akino was going to take a picture at first, but seeing the crowd, she gave it a thought and gave up. She was a pure homebody, and she came to watch Mai Kujo's competition due to her admiration for Mai Kujo's mahjong skills. Otherwise, she would not even step out of her house, usually.
