I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 324 Each of their classmates

"Dear students, the opening ceremony is now over."

"Please leave in an orderly manner and proceed to your respective classrooms."

A group of middle-aged and elderly people who looked nothing like 'students' and men and women with an air of authority walked out of the gymnasium.

In this day and age, high-ranking officials, tycoons, and leaders of government violence agencies are all extraordinary individuals!
If one doesn't possess some strength, they might not even know how they died.

"Hey, hey, hey, is that all?"

In the team of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department, Kawai Mai, with her bob haircut, held a notebook in one hand and poked her hair with the pen in the other, looking troubled.

"Isn't it true that there are also Yin and Yang spiritual attributes, and the nature of their changes hasn't been mentioned?"

Snapped,

"Ouch~~"

Having received a chop to the head, Mayi turned her head away, looking aggrieved.

"Senior Holy Son? Why are you knocking on me?"

"What are you thinking about, you idiot?"

Fuji Seiko looked up at the ceiling helplessly. She had already taken a huge risk when she asked about the restraining relationship between 'yin and yang spiritual power'.

Unexpectedly, Kawai Mai actually wanted to learn about the changes in the nature of Yin and Yang attributes from Yu-kun's words?

"That's the foundation of the Hanakain family,"

"If anyone asks too many questions, it's not impossible for me to kill them on the spot. Besides—"

She ruffled Mai's hair. Although they were supposed to be 'equals', in Fuji Seiko's eyes, Kawai Mai was still that clueless junior.

"Principal You, haven't we already demonstrated the changes in the properties of Yin and Yang?"

? ?
"Fool,"

Seeing Mayi's bewildered gaze, the Holy Son shook his head and smiled indulgently.

"Think about how that long sword came to be."

Create something out of thin air!

This is the change in the nature of 'Yin Dun'.

As those representing the royal family, samurai families, the government, and financial groups left the stadium first, followed by the slightly 'ordinary' superhumans and a small number of boys and girls who truly resembled 'students'.

"Oh ho ho, Sora~~"

A young girl in casual clothes jogged over, waving enthusiastically.

"Guess who I am?"

"This is Tiannv Ying,"

From the familiar tone of the other party, Qiong Mei already knew the other party's identity and introduced him to the behind-the-scenes boss of 'Kengan Association' beside her.

"Xiaoying, this is my former school's club president, Hongo Hina."

"Long time no see, Hina-chan~~"

Tiannv Ying knew Ji Nai; they had met several times before Ji Nai's 'identity' was revealed.

Yu-kun, Ichiyo, Sora, and Nao were all there at that time, and everyone enjoyed themselves leisurely every day.
"Xiao Ying? Is this... some kind of possession technique?"

With a single glance, the formidable Hongo Himeyasu noticed the incongruity of the girl before her.

It's not a real person, but a clone created using some kind of technique.

"Yes, that's right."

Lowering her voice, she looked about 70% similar to 'Nagisa Ichiyo', but with short hair, she made a quiet request.

"Don't tell anyone; my identity is somewhat sensitive."

Even in a school teeming with extraordinary individuals, 'Mishinko' remains aloof and superior.

Xiao Ying didn't want to be bowed to everywhere she went.

"rest assured,"

Hongo Hina laughed, raised her hand, and pulled it to her mouth, making a playful zipper-like motion.

"I keep my mouth shut."

For this,

Qiong Mei understands this deeply.

If it weren't for her collaboration with her brother, who would have thought that Hina, who was once the best in school in terms of looks, academics, sports, and even housekeeping, attracting the admiration of many female classmates and known as the "Queen of Ten Thousand Females," would be the leader of a dubious organization like the "Human Relief Society"?

Later, she even established the "Kengan Society" to spread extraordinary power, becoming a notorious "Revolutionary Princess" in the "underworld".

Its revolutionary aim is to make everyone extraordinary, everyone like a dragon.
Without making a sound, he has already become a tiger-level powerhouse!

There's no doubt that she's tight-lipped.
"Let's go to the classroom."

"By the way—what courses did you choose?"

The sight of three high school students walking hand in hand with a group of middle-aged men left the group feeling quite emotional.

This youthful and vibrant attitude is what true students are like: in comparison, they are much more pragmatic. They come here not only to study, but also to secretly observe other extraordinary individuals, and to think about how to deal with, suppress, or even resort to other dirty tricks if they become enemies with them.
Even though I'm still at school, I can never go back to that mindset!

While the "uncles" were expressing their feelings, the actual students were also forming their own circles.

Hello,

The sound from the side made Higashi Hsiao-mei stop and turn around.

This is a girl wearing a middle school uniform, with a high ponytail and a somewhat shy expression. The most striking feature is:

Her face had 'cracks' that looked like patterns.

Like cracked pottery,

"My name is Ryoko Miyashita,"

The girl mustered her courage and extended her right hand.

"Um, can we get to know each other?"

"certainly,"

Dong Xiaomei, who was also wearing a junior high school uniform, nodded in response as she confidently raised her hand to shake the other person's right hand.

"My name is Higashi Takami, and I work in the 'Guardian Spirit Squad' of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department. What about you?"

This girl's hands are so cold.

"Huh? Me? Shouldn't I be considered a person from the underworld?"

Ok?
"Oh, this girl's body..."

A blonde high school girl emerged from Higashi Takami's body; looking down at Miyashita Ryoko, she suddenly realized what was going on.

“You are covered in the aura of that underworld captain.”

?

"Is your senior talking about Chun-jun?"

Startled, Miyashita Ryoko quickly realized that the 'Captain of the Underworld' the other person was referring to must be her lover.

"Hello, Captain's wife."

"Why would someone as important as you come to school?"

"Ah, I, I..." Miyashita Ryoko was just an 'ordinary' girl. Before she died, she invited Kishida Jun to share an umbrella with her. Hearing her classmates' teasing and being rejected by Jun, she ran out of school in embarrassment. She didn't see the traffic light and was hit by a passing dump truck.

Now, facing the blonde, high school girl evil spirit in front of him, who looked like a "big sister," he immediately became speechless.

Even if a real fight broke out, Ryoko Miyashita, who possesses an 'immortal body,' should not be afraid of anyone.

At least below the Ghost level, no one can do anything to her.

The body of the impure earth is just that shameless.

"Sister Yiyue, you scared someone."

Having already become familiar with the two evil spirits within her, Higashi Takami waved to the side, dismissing the 'back spirit,' and then warmly took Ryoko's hand.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Yiyue isn't a bad person; she's just a bit... carefree? Maybe, probably."

Feeling increasingly guilty, Higashi Takami pulled Miyashita Ryoko along as they walked, trying to change the subject.

"Ryoko, what courses did you choose?"

This sorcery school currently offers courses in 'combat,' 'swordsmanship,' 'riding,' 'talismans,' and 'spirit communication,' though the specifics of what they teach are unknown. Many extraordinary individuals have chosen talismans, spirit communication, and swordsmanship; many switched to swordsmanship at the last minute because of Principal You's demonstration earlier.

The change in the nature of spiritual power is the stepping stone to entering the realm of the strong.

Currently, the only people who clearly understand the changes in the 'nature of spiritual power' are the principal and Mr. Yagyu!
As he wielded his two ordinary swords, howling winds, gentle breezes, bleak autumn winds, and bone-chilling cold winds arose. They could transform into tornadoes and form wind walls. Despite having only drunk a bottle of 'Level 3 Extraordinary Potion,' he was able to overpower a group of veteran extraordinary beings and become a top-tier powerhouse below the 'Three Ghosts Level.'

Previously, people only admired and didn't understand his 'breathing technique'.

Now that they know the secret, they all burst forth with tremendous enthusiasm; if Yagyu Onoda were willing to 'teach,' the number of students would certainly be second only to Yu.

"I?"

The middle school girl with the high ponytail thought for a moment.
“I choose the channeling course.”

For Ryoko Miyashita, who has 'come back to life', there are two major troubles.

First, there is the fear of reality, the fear that one day they will wake up and find themselves back in the 'River of Three Crossings,' drifting aimlessly with the current.

Secondly, there's her body: although it doesn't need to eat or sleep; it can't be injured or feel pain, but—

This doesn't look like a normal flesh and blood body at all, does it?

Is this the only way we can live from now on?
And Chun that
Thinking of this, the girl blushed and lowered her head.

I also chose a channeling course.

"Phew! I was suffocating!"

The domineering voice interrupted Higashi Hsiao-mei's words.

Another 'figure' emerged from her body; it was a girl who wore a men's kimono draped diagonally over her body like a kasaya.

"That principal is terrifying. I feel like he could kill me with just one look."

"Hey, little girl."

As Miyashita Ryoko looked on in surprise, the gaze of the girl, who was wearing a loose robe and exuding a free and unrestrained aura, swept over her, making Miyashita Ryoko tense up.

"You're Kishida Jun's woman?"

? !
"Xin Xin Nai, what do you want to do?" x2
As Higashi Takami turned to be on guard, Izuki, who had previously shrunk back into her body, also floated out and confronted the girl.

"Hahaha~~"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything."

He touched his neck. Although the battle at Oniowara Castle was a stage set up by Oda Nobuna to fake her death and escape, he still vividly remembered the cold feeling of being beheaded by Kishida Jun with an umbrella.

"I just came out to meet 'our' new classmates,"

With her arms around Higashi Takami and Izuki's necks, Oda Nobuna bent down and looked at Miyashita Ryoko.

"Let's all get along well from now on, Ryoko."

"what?"

"Nice to meet you, Nobuna-senpai."

Slightly bewildered, Miyashita Ryoko bowed deeply to the other person.

In her mind, this 'Nobuna' and 'Izuki' are both 'guardian spirits' of Higashi Takami.

"She's quite a well-behaved person,"

She gave a nonsensical evaluation, and 'Oda Nobuna,' floating behind Higashi Takami, crossed her arms.

"Let's go see what the teachers at this time teach."

The reason she dared to appear 'openly and honestly' was because she had recently staged a 'double act' with Higashi Hsiao-mei and Izuki.

In short, Oda Nobuna plays a troublesome 'wild evil spirit,' and then Higashi Takami is tasked with 'exorcising' it; after a fierce battle, she 'subdues' it, making it her second guardian spirit.
This situation is not uncommon in the Guardian Spirit Squad of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department.

Subduing spirits is also a way to become stronger. As long as they do not exhibit behaviors that attack the host or other people, the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department does not care if its members subdue evil spirits.

after all--

It's just a 'mere' evil spirit.

With the opening of the 'Tokyo Spellcasting' school
Almost all the extraordinary individuals with names and identities from across the island nation attended the opening ceremony.

The reason I used 'almost' is because some people didn't come: for example, the two members of the Isoya family.

When talking about Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) in Japan, the Kamo, Abe, and Ashiya families are indispensable: these three families almost represent the concept of 'yin-yang arts'.

The first head of the Kamo family, Kamo Enno-kun Ozuno, is the origin of the word "spellcasting" and he also founded the Onmyōdō (the Way of Yin and Yang). Later, Abe no Seimei became a disciple of Kamo no Tadayuki and became the most famous Onmyōji (master of Yin and Yang) in the Heian period. The Abe family controlled astronomy, while the Kamo family controlled the calendar, and the two families shared the authority of the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang).

Ashiya Dōman, Abe no Seimei's lifelong rival, was exiled to Harima after losing a magical duel, becoming the progenitor of 'folk Onmyoji'.

Later, the Abe family was granted the surname 'Tsuchimikado' and split into two: the white-clad Abe clan and the black-clad Tsuchimikado clan.

With unparalleled glory, he ousted the Kamo family from the Bureau of Onmyō and from then on monopolized the Onmyōdō of the island nation!
The three families are both old friends and old enemies!
The Igoya family are descendants of the Kamo family; the Hanakain family inherited the Ashiya family's legacy.

As for the famous Abe no Seimei, he has returned from the underworld and now occupies Kyoto.

Under these circumstances, the Isogai siblings, unwilling to 'bow down' to Yu and also wary of a possible 'attack' from the Abe family, were constantly building their own base, 'Umi-nin Village,' so they did not come to school.

Besides, with the guidance of the 'Sea Ninja,' they wouldn't stoop to mingling with ordinary superhumans.

As for Abe no Seimei, whom everyone was wary of—

Kyoto City,
The site of the ancient capital of the island nation.
The destination that countless talented generals and strategists shouted "Go to Luoyang" for is now shrouded in a vast fog.

This fog spread over 800 square kilometers and reached a height of 100 meters. It remained unmoved by wind and sun, covering 20 percent of the area of ​​Kyoto Prefecture, one of the island nation's two prefectures. Outside this giant fog, a large number of barbed wire fences, landmines, and various automatic sentry towers were densely packed, forming a long defensive line that completely surrounded it.

The island nation's government deployed 10 troops, thousands of heavy artillery pieces, and armored vehicles along this defensive line. Their purpose was:
Delay time!

That's right, the role of this army is merely to buy time.

If the fog shows any unusual activity, not to mention Abe no Seimei, even the large number of 'monsters' living inside would be enough to overwhelm this 10-strong army in a short time.

During this time, the island nation's government did not remain idle, constantly using various reconnaissance methods to try to obtain intelligence shrouded in mystery; however, all it received were chilling and increasingly frightening pieces of information.

Countless evil spirits have replaced the living and are now living in this city!
Meanwhile, these evil spirits continued to fight and devour, growing stronger: eventually, they even developed 'reason', engaging in various professions, playing around, patrolling, and training.
The more these evil spirits demonstrate 'intelligence,' the more terrified and uneasy human governments become!

what?
Negotiate with the other party?
What can we use to negotiate? Love and justice?

The other party was clearly in a position to 'replace them'.

This is no longer a simple war, but a catastrophe in which 'humanity' will be wiped out!
