Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

This is about quantity, not quality.

"Xiao Guyun, promise Grandpa."

Grandpa's expression was solemn: "You must never tell anyone about the purity of your spiritual power."

As for his grandfather's shikigami, he would cast a death curse on it, ensuring that it would never reveal this secret.

Similarly, the same applies to beginners.

"Don't worry, Master, Xiaobai would rather die than tell anyone."

Xiao Bai seemed to sense the snail's solemnity and immediately declared that it would absolutely protect Gu Yun.

The oaths of demons inherently contain elements of magical power.

So Grandpa is very relieved about Xiaobai.

Chapter 5 The Duties of an Exorcist

A test of spiritual energy purity brought the old man both surprise and delight.

What is pleasing is Gu Yun's talent, which is unprecedented.

But because of this, Grandpa finally understood Gu Yun's mother's feelings.

That feeling of worry and fear, of being terrified that one's own child might be in danger.

"You must become stronger, Gu Yun."

Grandpa was confident that he would protect his grandson while he was still alive.

However, he used forbidden techniques in his youth, which cost him 10 years of his life.

Grandpa traveled between this world and the afterlife many times, so he knew how much time he had left.

"The next two years."

"Grandpa will teach you all the magic."

This wasn't just for him, but also for Gu Yun's own sake.

No matter how strong someone else's power is, it still belongs to them.

"Ok!"

Gu Yun nodded solemnly. Seeing this, Grandpa regained his usual amiable demeanor: "Well, don't think too much about it. Little Gu Yun is so outstanding, he might surpass Grandpa soon."

"Alright, next Grandpa will teach you how to control spiritual power."

"......."

Gu Yun benefited greatly from the first day of teaching.

He learned the purity of his spiritual power and also realized that for a sorcerer, the magnitude of spiritual power and the ability to control it are equally crucial.

Over the next few days, Grandpa found a large number of ancient books in his study, including those on Shintoism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

The Japanese practice of exorcising spirits is itself a hybrid of two different things.

Grandpa's magic was even more unique, practically the most unorthodox of unorthodox methods.

'Study for a week first.'

"A week from now, Grandpa will take you to see how to deal with paranormal events."

Gu Yun is still young, and his grandfather has no intention of letting him take action for the time being.

However, broadening one's horizons is always beneficial.

Grandpa doesn't have much time left, so he needs to lay a solid foundation for Gu Yun in the next two years.

·

Seven days passed in a flash.

"Master, Master."

Xiao Bai ran in from outside the study, leaped onto the desk, and sat to Gu Yun's right: "The snail says we can set off now."

Today, Grandpa is taking me to visit the demons.

Those were his friends, and also the connections he wanted to leave for Gu Yun.

"it is good."

Gu Yun smiled slightly and put down the calligraphy brush in his hand.

He was practicing the basic spells his grandfather had taught him.

"gone."

Gu Yun stood up, and Xiao Bai leaped toward his shadow.

"Whoo~"

Gu Yun's shadow rippled like water, and Xiao Bai disappeared into it.

This is a spell that Gu Yunxin has learned, and it is also a unique power possessed by sorcerers who have shikigami.

A small alternate dimension is constructed using shikigami (spirits/spirits).

The shikigami usually live inside and travel around with their master.

"grandfather."

Gu Yun picked up the talisman paper from the table and quickly went to the entrance hall.

Just as the door opened, Gu Yun heard a voice.

"From now on, you'll never grow taller again!"

"???"

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, looked around, but did not see anyone.

"Master, Master."

Xiao Bai's voice echoed in Gu Yun's mind: "At your feet, at your feet."

"Ok?"

Gu Yun looked down and indeed saw a strange little creature kneeling by the door.

It wears a men's kimono and has an elephant's head, but it's only the size of a cup.

Clearly, this thing is a monster.

"From now on, you will never grow taller!"

The monster spoke words that sounded like a curse, causing Gu Yun to frown slightly.

"What is this?"

Gu Yun: "Never mind, let's feel the demonic power first."

After three days of study, Gu Yun learned some simple spells, including methods for detecting the power of demons.

"A bastard?"

Gu Yun initially thought this guy was some kind of little monster that could cast curses.

But to everyone's surprise, it turned out to be just a lowly ghost.

Miscellaneous demons are worthless trash with no power to interfere with humans.

In other words, what the other party just said was meaningless except to scare people.

Moreover, these miscellaneous demons have very weak demonic power, so weak that many sorcerers subconsciously ignore them.

"But in the end, it's all bad talk."

"What an annoying guy."

"Go away!"

Gu Yun thought for a moment, then kicked the unknown ghost, sending it flying.

"Ah woo~~~"

Watching the ghost trace an arc in the air, Gu Yun said speechlessly, "Inexplicable!"

"Xiao Guyun".

Grandpa saw Gu Yun kick the bastard away and said, "Don't do that again, understand?"

"I'm sorry, Grandpa."

Gu Yun thought he had been too violent.

"That was not what I meant."

Grandpa knew that Gu Yun had misunderstood. He shook his head and said, "Exorcising demons is our job."

If the demons don't provoke Gu Yun, then he naturally won't bother to deal with them.

But if a scoundrel pops up out of nowhere and does something incredibly deserving of a beating, then getting a good beating is entirely their own fault.

"I'm telling you not to do this kind of thing in front of the audience in the hall in the future."

Because many people can't see monsters, they can only see Gu Yun inexplicably kicking someone in mid-air.

"Forehead…"

Gu Yun understood; her grandfather didn't want her to become someone with a "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) in other people's eyes.

"I remember."

Gu Yun knew that in this world, the circle of exorcists was very, very small.

If someone doesn't have the ability to see ghosts, even if you tell them about monsters, they'll think you're crazy.

Gu Yun could naturally use magic to prove that he was the real deal.

But when it comes to someone like Gu Yun, do ordinary people admire him or fear him?

What if someone harms Gu Yun out of jealousy?
