Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko quickened his pace and headed towards the theology department's teaching building.

At that moment, three passersby walked towards them.

He glanced at it, didn't recognize it, and ignored it.

"Oh, you're Haruhiko, right?"

One of the middle-aged men suddenly stopped and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"I'm."

Haruhiko looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I am Michihiro Akita."

Akita Michihiro asked with a chuckle, "Do you still remember me?"

"some."

Haruhiko immediately remembered the entrance exam and greeted him, "Hello, Professor Akita."

"I've watched the entrance exam video."

Akita Michihiro stated his purpose directly: "Your performance is outstanding, and I happen to be short of a student. What are your thoughts?"

So that's what it was all about.

Haruhiko shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I already have a teacher."

"who is it?"

Akita Michihiro frowned and said, "There are quite a few teachers at the University of Tokyo who are just getting their qualifications for nothing. I'm worried you'll be fooled."

"Chiyome."

Haruhiko asked seriously, "Professor Akita, what do you think of her?"

Akita Michihiro immediately froze.

A few seconds later, he chuckled dryly and said, "How could I dare to talk about her?"

Elderly people?

Haruhiko immediately felt a strong sense of unease.

While it's theoretically correct, it doesn't match her loli-like figure.

"that……"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Akita Michihiro said, "Lord Haruhiko, I apologize for my abruptness."

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

what's the situation?

How did my seniority suddenly increase?

"Professor Akita, you're too kind."

Haruhiko snapped out of his reverie and said modestly, "Please just call me Haruhiko. I really can't accept that title."

"Where are you talking about?"

Akita Michihiro patted him on the shoulder warmly and said, "Chiyome is Principal Aizawa's teacher, so it's not at all unreasonable for me to call you 'sir'."

Haruhiko finally understood why he reacted that way.

Chiyome is actually the principal's teacher?

But upon closer reflection, it is indeed possible.

Because she is a powerful demon, it's normal for her to live a long life.

Humans will only experience a significant increase in lifespan after reaching the fifth stage.

But they are still far inferior to the great demons.

Unless you break through the fifth tier and reach the legendary sixth tier.

But what's the principal's name?

What's south in Aizawa?

Oh no, it's Aizawa Kaoru.

Haruhiko returned to the classroom just as class started; he wasn't late.

This week's lessons are also on "The Application and Handling of Modern Weapons".

Because the Battle of Fei River is still five days away.

Class is over.

Haruhiko was planning to go to the Garden of Innocents to find Chiyo.

But unexpectedly, someone stopped him.

"Haruhiko-san."

The young man smiled and said, "My name is Minoru Nishihara, and I am a priest from Nibukawa Shrine."

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Haruhiko thought for a moment and realized he had never heard of this shrine.

However, there are many shrines in Japan, so it's normal not to have heard of them.

"Because of the Battle of Feichuan, several teams were formed among the freshmen."

Minoru Nishihara explained, "My team is called Chrysanthemum and Sword, and it currently has forty-two members, mostly priests and swordsmen."

Haruhiko understood upon hearing this.

The Battle of Fei River had only one rule: survive to the end.

The school won't interfere with the methods used.

Forming groups is also permitted.

Some people who feel they are not good enough can team up to increase their chances of survival.

However, this does not mean absolute safety.

Because the Battle of Fei River would unleash all sorts of demons.

They prefer to attack large groups of people.

Sometimes, it's easier for a lone wolf to survive.

"I will think about it."

Haruhiko used the universal answer.

Even if he were to join, he wouldn't be so hasty.

At least you'll know how many teams there are now and what their capabilities are.

If the chrysanthemum and the sword are placed at the end, it would be a burden.

"welcome any time."

Minoru Nishihara was not angry and remained very polite.

Students who can get into the University of Tokyo are all quite good.

There's no need to offend someone over such a trivial matter.

Haruhiko left the classroom.

He took out his phone and dialed Hoshino Rin's number.

"Are you familiar with the team that fought in the Battle of Feiyichuan?"

Although a week has passed, Haruhiko hasn't met many people.

After much thought, I decided to contact Hoshino Rin.

"Then you've come to the right person."

Hoshino Rin began her introduction with a light, cheerful tone and a smile.

There are more than a dozen teams of all sizes.

Most of them are teams formed between friends.

There are four that are relatively reputable and have good capabilities.

Black Rose, Chrysanthemum and Sword, White River Night Ship, and Kongo.

"You joined the Black Rose?"

After listening, Haruhiko asked a guessing question.

All members of the Black Rose are priestesses.

Hoshino Rin.

As the young lady of the Izumo Shrine, she will definitely be invited.
