I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 114 A Gathering of Heroes (Not really)
After Iori Kazuka left,
"The Metropolitan Police Department has time to hold a 'Supernatural Exchange Meeting,' they must have found out where Hai Ren is."

"Moreover, most of the Hai Ren have fallen into the hands of some 'unknown forces,' otherwise they would never have used a word like 'please.'"

Yu gave the three beautiful girls present a serious 'analysis' of the situation:
"The purpose is twofold: firstly, to strengthen cooperation among extraordinary individuals; secondly, it may also be to use the collective strength of the group to deal with that 'unknown force' that recruits sea ninja."

Although among the superhumans currently associated with the government, there is only one 'Chunin' level, and the rest are all 'Genin': in the official terms of the island nation, they are 'Tiger-level' and 'Wolf-level'. It is almost impossible to deal with the sea ninja who is rated as 'Demon' level, as well as that 'unknown force'.

However, there is still a chance: modern weapons are not lacking in lethality, but they cannot be used against various supernatural and bizarre abilities.

"Will there be any danger?"

Yu waved her hand in response to Qiong's worried words.

"Don't panic,"

"I've been studying spells lately, and I'm confident that even if there's danger, I can run away if I can't win."

This is no exaggeration. Recently, apart from sending out several shadow clones to push forward the 'supernatural events', Yu's main body has been constantly practicing: Summoning Jutsu!
It wasn't about summoning any kind of summoning beast, but rather summoning 'Rashomon'. That's right, Rashomon is also a summoning jutsu: unlike the pirated version that was once made in Shibuya, the genuine Rashomon is a B-rank ninjutsu with top-tier defensive capabilities.

Each additional Rashomon gate opened to spiritual energy will double the defensive power.

The first generation once used the "Fivefold Rashomon" to deflect Madara's Susanoo's "Chaotic Tailed Beast Ball" against the Nine-Tails, demonstrating its high defensive power.

Yu can only summon one Rashomon gate now, but he is confident that it can block most firearms; unless someone drops a nuclear bomb, in which case it would probably take more than three gates to withstand it.

So, are you going to visit and participate in the exchange meeting?

Yu, who was about to go see the play, looked at Qiong and the class monitor, but both of them shook their heads.

"I want to spend some time getting to know 'them' so that we can establish a tacit understanding and sign a contract as soon as possible."

The class monitor explained while holding a fox, but Qiongmei's reason was even simpler:
"trouble,"

For a homebody like Sora, coming to a shrine is already a very strenuous outdoor activity; the thought of her going to some kind of "exchange meeting" full of strangers is simply unthinkable.

"Alright, then you guys stay here with Xiaoying, and I'll go see what's interesting about that 'exchange meeting'."

"Okay, okay~~ Besides Xiaobai, I usually have no one to keep me company."

Xiao Ying was the first to raise her hand in agreement.

During this period, even Nagisa Ichiyo has been so busy that he has disappeared from sight;

Xiao Ying was extremely annoyed by the constant attempts to curry favor with important figures.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After a few days,
The island nation's official authorities have still not announced the whereabouts of Hai Ren.

Most of the people gradually withdrew from their fanaticism and went back to their normal lives; while those forces that had been constantly hindering the island nation's search for the whereabouts of the sea ninja also gradually realized their mistake.

The Metropolitan Police Department has shifted its focus from searching for Umi-nin to arresting these troublemakers.

All signs indicate that they have been 'fished'!

Fortunately, the island nation's government did not intend to escalate the situation, making it clear to these forces that Hai Ren had not fallen into the hands of the island nation.

Although there were some losses, that's enough. As for the whereabouts of Hai Ren—

"elder sister,"

"What do you think Master is doing at this time?"

A helicopter landed on the helipad of the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters in Chiyoda Kasumigaseki.

Two boys and girls in flowing robes leaped lightly from the cabin, followed by several men carrying hunting rifles openly.

"I don't know, it depends on the actions of that 'Blood Hakama'."

With black curly hair and a boyish appearance, Isoya Dai answered that they came here to use the power of the state to track down the 'Bloody Hakama'.

"If the rumors are true, then the government has no reason to refuse to cooperate with us."

The two children, one after the other, completely placed themselves on equal footing with the island nation, which made the Metropolitan Police Department personnel around them quite unhappy.

What an arrogant little brat!
"You two, please come this way."

Without a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, the carefully selected staff member stepped forward, bowed, and raised his hand in greeting.

"Many extraordinary beings have already arrived."

"Okay, please lead the way."

Despite her loud tone, the curly-haired Isoya Dai was not arrogant in front of these staff members, which made these elites from the Metropolitan Police Department breathe a sigh of relief.

What a polite little girl, what a pity. Perhaps it's better for them not to join the Metropolitan Police Department than to be able to.

After all, how could two children possibly be a match for those big shots?
They were so easily fooled that they lost their lives without even realizing it.

"Teacher, let's go!"

On the other side, in a helicopter that had been parked, a lively high school girl was pulling an embarrassed middle-aged man off the plane.

With the girl holding his arm, the middle-aged man felt even more uneasy, especially when the Igoya siblings looked over.

It's like watching a beast!
"Classmate Xiang Sheng, in public."

"Hehehe, does the teacher mean that we can only let loose in private when no one is around?"

???

Seeing the middle-aged man, who looked like a scholar, blushing as he was teased by a high school girl, and the envious and jealous looks on the faces of the people from the Metropolitan Police Department around them, they could hardly hide their feelings.

This person is a true winner in life!

Sakuma Satoru,

With an average height, average looks, and average grades, he became just an ordinary teacher after leaving school, and even nearly died from illness.

But on his final journey, he encountered a high school girl who captivated this terrifying "Flying Demon." She clung to him all day, showering him with kisses, and effortlessly became an extraordinary being—a life that made everyone envious!
Da da da da,

Another helicopter landed, and a little girl dressed in exquisite children's clothing was carefully helped off the plane.

The cat in her hands

"Yes, it's a cat demon, but I don't know what abilities it has."

As 'orthodox' Onmyoji, the Igotani siblings are both quite talented. The younger brother learns Onmyoji very quickly, while the older sister possesses excellent 'sensory' abilities.
"Someone's here again."

The woman with black curly hair looked up at the sky.
Soon, a small black dot rapidly magnified, and then, under the watchful eyes of numerous 'extraordinary' beings:
woohoo~~
A giant, dark bird flapped its wings and landed.

The next second, the giant bird turned into ink and flew back into the falling boy's hand.

? !
"This secret technique is..."

"Ashiya family,"

The two sisters spoke in hushed tones, and given their extraordinary abilities, they were confident that no one could overhear their conversation. However:
"This secret technique is..."

"Ashiya family,"

In the Metropolitan Police Department's special operations conference room,

The exact same words came from the mouths of several experts staring at the screen.

Lip reading,

Faced with these extraordinary beings, the Metropolitan Police Department naturally dared not place their surveillance equipment too close; however, even through instruments hundreds of meters away, they could still clearly observe everyone's actions, especially the words and deeds of the Isoya siblings. Unlike other 'wild' extraordinary beings, they had family traditions and naturally possessed far more knowledge and experience.

Sure enough, the two recognized the background of their friend, 'Misaka no Ko', at a glance.

"The Ashiya family's secret techniques?"

Director Zhu Ya frowned, as if she had heard of this family somewhere before.

"It's Ashiya Dōman!"

The head priest of Yushima Tenmangu Shrine immediately replied that, as the 'god of learning,' he was well-versed in all kinds of ghost stories and mysteries and had been hired by the Metropolitan Police Department as a resident expert.

It's him~~
Everyone in the conference room suddenly realized what was happening.

When talking about Onmyoji, one cannot ignore Abe no Seimei; and when talking about Abe no Seimei, one cannot ignore his mortal enemy: Ashiya Dōman.

Abe no Seimei's ancestors also had royal blood, and he was a disciple of the head of the Kamo family, who was in charge of the "Yin-Yang Bureau," so his life could be described as smooth sailing; while Ashiya Dōman was an Onmyoji from the common people. Both of them were the strongest Onmyoji of that era.

However, there was only one spot for the 'strongest', so unsurprisingly, the two started fighting.

"It is said that Ashiya Dōman's Yin-Yang techniques were on par with those of Abe no Seimei."

"He only lost to Seimei in the most crucial battle of magic."

Next, there are two versions: The first is that Ashiya Dōman couldn't swallow his anger. Although he lost the magic duel, he stole Seimei's wife and took her away. He used Seimei's wife to kill him, but was eventually killed by Seimei, who had left a backup plan to revive him. The two can be said to have been in a love-hate relationship for a lifetime.

"The second record states that Doman lost the magic duel and was exiled to Harima. However, he also benefited from the misfortune, as his descendants settled there and developed a large family business of Onmyoji."

"Hiss, they even managed to steal Seimei's wife."

Iori Ichika, who had her arms crossed, gasped.

It is known that Abe no Seimei was, in legend, the son of a white fox: his father, Daizen no Taifu, once saved a white fox from the evil spirit Uemon. The white fox cultivated into human form, took the name Kuzunoha, and had Abe no Seimei with his father.

Therefore, according to legend, Abe no Seimei was not only elegant but also exceptionally handsome.

How could Ashiya Dōman manage to steal the wife of such a handsome man?
"If it's like Brother You, then it's not surprising."

Director Zhu Ya, unusually, did not refute a single word of her assessment of her capable assistant.

"So they are descendants of the Ashiya family. They sent someone to Harima to settle scores. It seems that these new generation of Onmyoji don't care about their family reputation."

"Ha, Director, what era are we living in?"

The fact that Director Takeya did not refute him does not mean that Iori Kazuka would not disagree with him.

"Still basking in the glory of a thousand-year-old family? Besides—"

"Do you think that Yu-kun, and the Isogai siblings, would consider themselves inferior to the legendary Kamo no Tadayuki and Ashiya no Dōman?"

Although both of them were renowned Onmyoji, they were also dead people from a thousand years ago; their achievements are fixed and will not increase, only waiting for future generations to surpass them: it is believed that these new-era Onmyoji would not think that they are inferior to the ancients.

What kind of young person isn't ambitious and spirited?

"you're right,"

Director Zhuya looked at the screen.
The three 'Onmyoji' above are greeting each other; none of them are the kind of people willing to obey the government.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Are you two children also sorcerers?"

Noticing the gaze of the Isogai siblings, Yu took the initiative to raise his hand to greet them.

"It's an Onmyoji,"

The older sister, dressed in a wide-sleeved white robe, with a somewhat 'Otsutsuki' style, spoke.

"Big brother, are you from the Ashiya family?"

?

After a moment of hesitation, You nodded.

"You could say that, but that happened a thousand years ago, who cares?"

"Right now, I'm just a high school student who wants to study 'quietly' and don't want to use magic for power. Shall we go together?"

"Um,"

When You raised her hand in invitation, the older sister nodded, followed closely by her younger brother.

"Welcome, everyone,"

When the three of them, who were discussing the techniques of 'Yin-Yang Arts', arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department lobby, there were already quite a few people there.

Besides the 'old acquaintance' Hoshino Tanimura with her two dogs, there's a rich second-generation heir standing next to a giant eagle, a girl holding a kitten, a dull middle-aged man, a young man with dyed blond hair, a kappa looking around, a combination of a teacher and a high school girl, and...
Yi Zhi Yi Hua.

Behind her were two other young men wearing special police uniforms, but whose demeanor was not that of police officers.

It is obvious that they are all so-called 'original extraordinary'.

"Although some people couldn't come, your presence alone has already brought honor to this Metropolitan Police Department."

"Well, I know you don't want to hear this kind of polite talk."

Iori Kazuka clapped her hands.
"Everyone, please come with me."

Besides those who explicitly refused, the island nation also has more than a dozen fugitive superhumans: after gaining power, those guys became so arrogant that they thought they could turn the tables and take control, and they mocked and even killed people when the Metropolitan Police Department tried to recruit them.

Since they can't reach an agreement, the island nation's government doesn't mind letting them experience the power of modern technology!
They're just beings who have just obtained the 'True Spirit of a Hundred Ghosts,' do you really think they're all those ancient demons?

The number of superhumans secretly destroyed by the government is already more than ten!
If it weren't for the goal of capturing them alive as much as possible, those who escaped would have been caught long ago.

However, that kind of thing will definitely not be exposed.

At this time of year, no newspaper or media outlet dares to clamor about 'freedom of speech,' so naturally, nobody knows about it.

Of course, Yu, who was spreading power, knew everything: However, he was dead, so he was dead. He had become a transcendent being but still had no brains. There was no point in keeping him alive.

Anyway, if you struggle desperately before you die, you can still gain some skill points.

Rumble,

Led by Iori Kazuka, the group arrived at a huge elevator.

"please,"

Faced with the enormous elevator marked with 'suspicious', all the extraordinary beings except for the 'official' personnel looked hesitant.

"Hahaha, don't worry."

"You are all pillars of the island nation's future,"

Iori Kazuka revealed a 'malicious' smile, making everyone even more hesitant.

"The Metropolitan Police Department will never harm you. Besides, you all possess various amazing abilities. If you work together, it won't be difficult for you to break out of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Since the other party has said that, then:

"Let's go,"

Yu was the first to take a step.
"Since we're already here, let's see what interesting things the Metropolitan Police Department has to offer."
