Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

But Haruhiko was more interested in seeing what Shirai-shuang was capable of.

Seeing that he didn't make any move, Bai Shuang understood his thoughts.

It paused for a moment, then flicked its tail gently.

Immediately, eerie white flames appeared around it.

The flames were not hot; they looked like cold fire with no temperature.

In an instant, they all crashed down on the earthbound spirit stuck inside the television.

There were no screams; upon contact, it produced a misting effect.

Terrified, she transformed into a cloud of black mist and drifted into the sky.

At the same time, the television made a crackling sound and then broke down.

Haruhiko touched his chin.

This spell, or rather, this talent, is stronger than a typical second-tier spell, but not as strong as a third-tier spell.

He roughly determined that Bai Shuang's rank was either second or third.

Going any higher is impossible.

What high-level demon would go looking for humans and insist on becoming a demon tamer?

cough cough.

Except for Yukihime.

She was after his body.

He was very honest.

After all, he is one too.

This is a two-way journey.

Are there any other monsters?

Haruhiko came to his senses and asked.

The fact that Bai Shuang could easily find the location of the Earthbound Spirit indicates that it possesses perception-based spells.

Moreover, it's more useful than the Spirit Eye Talisman, indicating that it's at least at the second tier.

Bai Shuang closed her eyes.

A few seconds later, it opened its eyes again, and both of its ears stood up.

"what happened?"

Haruhiko's heart skipped a beat.

Bai Shuang stopped in place and looked at him.

A moment later, it turned and walked away, its tail no longer wagging, but instead sticking up.

Haruhiko followed it away.

Upon reaching the outside of the building, Principal Nishino immediately came to greet him, asking with some surprise, "So fast?"

"Mrs. Nishino, don't worry, it's been resolved."

Haruhiko casually replied, "You can go in and take a look."

Principal Nishino glanced at the teaching building, somewhat hesitant.

Clearly, she didn't dare go in alone, so she turned her gaze to Haruhiko.

"Sorry, I have something else to do."

Haruhiko reassured her, "Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."

Upon seeing this, Principal Nishino walked towards the teaching building.

She still trusted the prestigious reputation of the University of Tokyo.

Haruhiko followed Shirai to the new campus.

Classes were in session, and the sounds of reading aloud or lecturing echoed everywhere.

Of course, because it's a school for the deaf and mute, it's relatively quiet.

Bai Shuang raised her front paw and patted Qing Yan's calf.

A surge of spiritual energy rose up, instantly concealing his aura.

Just as Haruhiko was about to ask, it pointed to a classroom nearby.

He then glanced through the glass window.

His face immediately froze.

It was the boy that the snake spirit was looking for.

He was sitting quietly in the back row, listening attentively to the lecture.

Second update, 3,000 words.

Chapter 131. Tachibana Yui's Education

Haruhiko had seen the photo at Nakagawa Reki's place before, so he recognized it at a glance.

I never expected to see him here.

No, under normal circumstances, Haruhiko would never run into him.

Because this boy is a fourth-tier psionicist.

As a second-tier individual, unless the boy deliberately exposes himself, it's estimated that no one will ever be able to detect his whereabouts in his entire life.

He subconsciously looked at the fox at his feet.

Its perception spells can detect fourth-tier psionicists.

There are two possibilities.

First, its fourth or fifth order.

Second, supernatural powers that disregard rank.

Haruhiko naturally chose to believe the second possibility.

Supernatural abilities related to perception are rare.

Its effectiveness is limited.

However, it's quite good for escaping.

After all, it allows them to know the location of a formidable enemy in advance.

Moreover, Bai Shuang had just cast a spell on him to conceal his presence.

This shows that the fox is well-versed in the ways of survival.

"Let's leave first."

Haruhiko said softly.

He couldn't possibly rush in and confront the boy face-to-face.

That would undoubtedly be a waste of one's life-saving means.

Besides, there are so many other students in the classroom; if a conflict breaks out, innocent people might be affected.

"White Frost?"

Haruhiko noticed that it didn't respond, so he called out again.

Bai Shuang then withdrew her gaze and turned to walk outside.

Qingyan wrote down the class name and followed Baishuang.

He didn't leave immediately because he still had one objective to achieve.

Learn lip reading and sign language.

But not now, he'll register for a class with Principal Nishino first.

Unsurprisingly, she readily agreed.

After exchanging phone numbers with Principal Nishino, Haruhiko left the school for the deaf and mute.

As he walked down the street, he pondered how to deal with the boy.

Given the difference in strength and the fact that he has the Serpent Spirit behind him, he won't provoke him.

So, should we hand it over to the Edo Archaeological Bureau?

The previous attempt to capture him resulted in heavy losses.

If it's reported, they'll be overjoyed, and might even reward you with a lot of treasures.
