Chapter 48
Yui Hirasawa's Friend

Tono Masamune spent all his skill points.

【Awe-Inspiring】, 【Intentional Heavy Punch】, and 【Intimidation】, all three skills were upgraded to the maximum level, their power reaching an unbelievable level.

Used with full power, they could rival the firepower of a modern army!

“Every time I level up, I get a small boost to my strength... Gradually, my physical abilities have reached a superhuman level.”

Tono Masamune picked up a kitchen knife and swung it down hard on his arm.

Bang!

The knife was deflected, a dent appearing on its edge.

But his skin was completely unscathed.

“Even if a handgun were to shoot at me, it would only leave a white mark on my skin. At least it would take a machine gun to break my skin.”

“But it's only breaking the skin... ”

“The bullets would still be caught by my muscles and squeezed out.”

As Tono Masamune spoke, his eyes turned deep.

According to the hierarchy of the Jujutsu world, he could only be stopped by Cluster Munitions... small bombs that formed a carpet of projectiles.

Therefore, he was undoubtedly a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Special Grade was the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world!

In the original Jujutsu Kaisen, before the main storyline began, there were only four Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers in all of Japan.

Of course, there were also differences between Special Grade sorcerers.

For example, Gojo Satoru and Sukuna were leagues ahead of the other Special Grades.

Special Grade Curses were like mere soldiers in their presence, they could be killed with ease!

“I wonder where the current plot has reached?” Tono Masamune muttered.

If it was Ancient Strongest vs. Modern Strongest.

Then he would still stay out of sight.

These two powerhouses were stronger than him now.

He would wait until he was strong enough before revealing himself.

……

……

Saturday.

Morning.

The fourth floor of a commercial building.

Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana exited the elevator, nervously walking towards the reception.

“Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked.

“Yes, we do.” Yotsuya Miko pursed her lips, and said, “Yotsuya Miko.”

“My name is Yurikawa Hana.” Yurikawa Hana said.

The receptionist checked their records, smiled, and said, “So you two are the new part-time workers… Go in, the director is just in his office.”

“Thank you.” *2

After thanking the receptionist, they followed the sign to the director's office.

Knock knock.

Yotsuya Miko knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

A familiar voice came from behind the door.

It was Tono-kun!

Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana exchanged glances, their nervousness easing slightly. They pushed the door open and walked in.

Behind the door.

Sure enough, it was Tono Masamune, sitting in his office chair, looking at the computer screen.

“Good morning, Director, we’re here to start work.”

Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana said respectfully.

“Why so formal?” Tono Masamune turned his head to look at them and smiled. “I’ve asked the secretary to show you around the company and introduce you to the work procedures. You can start officially tomorrow.”

“By the way, Yotsuya, come here.”

“This is for you.”

Tono Masamune took out a leather bag.

Yotsuya Miko took it with a confused look.

“It’s a method for cultivating your eyes. I’ve organized some of it. If you don’t understand anything, come and ask me again.” Tono Masamune explained.

Yotsuya Miko’s heart warmed slightly, and she bowed her head in gratitude. “Yes, thank you.”

“Don’t be so polite.” Tono Masamune waved his hand.

These things weren’t valuable to him.

When Set, the boxing champion, fought, he had witnessed all kinds of powers. With a little organization, it became a systematic training method.

“Alright, go and have a look around the company.” Tono Masamune said.

Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana bowed slightly.

But they didn’t leave immediately.

“Tono-kun, this…” Yotsuya Miko blushed and walked forward, presenting a wrapped package to Tono Masamune with both hands. “I made it myself. It’s a lunchbox. Thank you for your help. Please accept it if you don’t mind.”

Tono Masamune was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected this at all.

He smiled and took it. “Alright, I’ll take it.”

“Then we’ll go now.” Yotsuya Miko finally left with Yurikawa Hana.

Of course, on the Occult Forum.

Yotsuya Miko also donated her three months’ worth of savings and uploaded a photo.

……

Not long after Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana left.

A beautiful figure pushed the door open and walked in.

“Oh, lunchbox from a girl, have you set your sights on another young lady?” Yano said, like an old scoundrel.

Tono Masamune sighed helplessly and explained, “This is an expression of gratitude from the other party.”

“Gratitude?”

Yano snorted with disdain, “Don’t tell me you can’t see that she’s interested in you… Hero saves the damsel in distress, who wouldn’t be moved?”

Tono Masamune spread his hands helplessly.

He hadn’t concealed the incident of clearing the ghost for Yotsuya Miko from Yano.

Because of the crater formed by the park, the Yukinoshita family had to contact the police and find a reason to cover it up.

Whether it was an earthquake or a gas explosion, there had to be a reason to deceive the public.

“Forget it, I won’t say anything.” Yano also clung to this matter. It was just a girl who liked him, she was no threat to her.

“Are you going to my place tonight?” she asked with anticipation.

Now that she had finished dealing with the compensation for the construction site worker’s death, she wanted to indulge herself.

But Tono Masamune shook his head and refused.

“Next time, I have something to do with Yori-chan.”

He paused.

Tono Masamune added, “It’s serious business!”

“Tsk, no need to emphasize that.” Yano pouted and said, “I’m not unreasonable, just do it next time.”

After saying that, Yano left the office.

Crisp and decisive, no lingering.

“You’re indeed reasonable, but you’re a tsundere, you’re really good at making things difficult when you want to.” Tono Masamune mumbled in a low voice.

He shook his head, took out his phone.

On LINE, he received a message from Hiratsuka Yori, sent an hour ago.

【Yori-chan: Tono, my best friend’s contracted author has encountered a paranormal event, can you take a look?】

【Yori-chan: Please! (Cat bowing.jpg)】

It was rare to see Hiratsuka Yori acting cute, Tono Masamune readily agreed.

He replied.

【Tono Masamune: No problem!】

【Yori-chan: Then can we meet tonight?】

【Tono Masamune: OK!】

【Yori-chan: Cat kisses.jpg】

……

……

Time rewound back more than an hour.

In a dessert shop.

Hiratsuka Yori received an invitation from a friend from college and went to meet her.

“Long time no see, Sonoko!”
