Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Kita Koji used a new talisman again.

With a swift movement, he shifted several meters to the left, avoiding the range of Autumn Water Whirlpool.

As soon as he landed, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the giant dragon burning with flames appeared instantly and flew towards him.

Bei Xing swung his magic sword horizontally, and spiritual energy transformed into a violent current of air, surging forward to meet the attack.

Haruhiko's lips moved slightly, and he had already been chanting the new spell for two seconds.

Just then, the red rope of vows was triggered, and the remaining four seconds ended instantly.

Celestial Fox: Illusionary Mirror!

The illusory image of the Yata Mirror flew out.

The air currents and the dragon were entangled and locked in a stalemate.

The weight lifted from Kita Koji's heart.

But he knew that this series of blows had given Haruhiko too much time.

His next attack is imminent.

So he used a spell.

A white light quickly enveloped him.

After it took shape, he saw a phantom image of the Yata no Kagami.

Although I don't know what it is, it must be an attack spell.

He had foreseen this beforehand.

Kita Koji's lips curled slightly as he began chanting a new incantation.

But the next moment, his vision blurred, the surrounding scenery changed, and he was pulled into an illusion.

His defenses can only protect against physical attacks; illusions are not included.

Moreover, illusion magic is even rarer, and is generally only passed down by powerful forces.

Kita Koji had no idea that Haruhiko would use illusion magic.

At this moment, you are immediately infected.

Although he was a third-tier psionicist, he couldn't possibly undo the debunking of the third-tier Heavenly Fox Illusion Mirror instantly.

In other words, this competition has ended prematurely.

Because those few seconds were enough for Haruhiko to kill him.

The outer white barrier can only withstand one attack at most.

Haruhiko could use several talismans to defeat him in one go.

Kita Koji thought about chanting a spell.

A moment later, the illusion dissipated.

Haruhiko remained standing in the same spot without making any move.

"I lost."

Kita Koji readily admitted, "Haruhiko does indeed possess the level of a third-tier psychic."

"Hard."

Ishikawa Yasuhiro smiled and nodded, then said, "Leave the rest to me, you can go back now."

"Ah."

Kita Koji sheathed his magic sword and turned to leave.

"follow me."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa waved.

Haruhiko quickly stepped forward and left the square with him.

Not long after, the two returned to the Edo Archaeological Bureau's office at the University of Tokyo.

That's the place where they talked yesterday.

"Although I expected you to win, I didn't expect you to know so many third-tier spells. You are truly gifted."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa sat in his office chair, looking on with a sigh.

It's not uncommon for people to learn spells beyond their level, but it's extremely rare.

They are usually heirs to powerful families.

"Miscellaneous praise."

Haruhiko humbly replied, "It's all thanks to Ms. Chiyo's excellent teaching."

"Yes, the spells you used earlier do seem very familiar."

Ishikawa Yasuhiro pondered for a moment and said, "It seems you have truly mastered the art."

Except for the last spell.

But he didn't ask.

After all, such inheritance is a secret.

"Okay, congratulations on becoming a full-time employee."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa opened the drawer, took out a black ID, handed it to him, and said.

"Thank you."

Haruhiko glanced at it; it contained his basic information.

It was clearly prepared in advance.

"Shouldn't we be waiting for notification from the Psionic Council?"

Haruhiko suddenly remembered this matter and couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, you'll definitely pass anyway."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa shrugged and said, "At worst, we can take it back later, but the chances are slim."

With Chiyo and Aizawa Kaoru alone, no one would block Haruhiko.

After all, who would offend two fifth-tier individuals?

On the contrary, Haruhiko might receive a lot of gifts after joining.

"The Edo Archaeological Bureau is located on the first level of the Takamagahara ruins."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa said in a deep voice, "As a formal member, you have to make this trip."

"When?"

Haruhiko asked with a thought in his heart.

"The Takamagahara Ruins are sealed, and opening them each time is extremely complicated, so they won't be opened just for you."

As he spoke, Yasuhiro Ishikawa took out a folder, flipped through it, and after a moment said, "Next Saturday at nine o'clock in the morning."

"Ok."

Haruhiko nodded and said, "I'll be there on time."

After the matter was concluded, he took his leave.

On the way, he took out his phone and dialed Tsuchimikado Mari's number.

"I have passed."

"Congratulations."

Tsuchimikado Mari glanced at Tachibana Yui and asked calmly, "When are we going to the Takamagahara Ruins?"

"Next Saturday."

Haruhiko wasn't surprised that she knew the process.

After all, they are the number one Onmyoji family, the Tsuchimikado clan.

It would be strange if someone didn't even know this much.

"I will have someone from the Tsuchimikado clan contact you then."

Tsuchimikado Mari explained, "The Takamagahara Ruins are sealed off. Even if you have my Butterfly Ring, you won't be able to teleport outside if you encounter danger. You'll just randomly end up somewhere inside. Having someone to take care of you will make you safer."

Haruhiko felt warm in his heart when he heard this.

However, the Takamagahara ruins are quite outrageous.

Even fifth-tier spiritual tools couldn't be teleported out.

No wonder there are so few survivors.

Fortunately, he had a title given by a game cheat: the player's birthplace.

If you encounter danger, you can be teleported to the Inari Shrine.
