Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Tsuchimikado Mari nodded, put away her phone, and asked, "What are we training this afternoon?"

"Spell."

Haruhiko replied without hesitation.

This is his daily routine lately.

Morning meditation, afternoon incantation.

Do you need a sparring partner?

Tsuchimikado Mari crossed her hands and squeezed them together.

Her slender fingers were fair in color.

Haruhiko was taken aback.

Sparring partner?

In fact, combat experience is also a part of strength.

He actually didn't experience many battles.

"Then you need to be careful about what you say."

Haruhiko thought about it and then agreed.

If she were to unleash the power of a fifth-tier psychic, it wouldn't be a sparring partner, but rather a one-sided torment.

"rest assured."

Tsuchimikado Mari stood up, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "I guarantee it will be just right."

Haruhiko looked at her smiling face and instinctively felt that something was wrong.

However, having a fifth-tier psychic as a sparring partner is indeed a good thing.

The two left the room and ran into Tachibana Yui.

She froze, her eyes widening, thinking that the two of them hadn't had a moment's peace even at noon.

"Let's go out for a bit."

Mari Tsuchimikado explained, "Go and train in sorcery."

"Are you going too?"

Tachibana Yui gritted her teeth and asked.

"I'll be your sparring partner."

Tsuchimikado Mari smiled and asked, "Are you coming?"

"I'm not going!"

Tachibana Yui answered instinctively, her voice trembling with anger.

I regretted it as soon as I said it.

"We'll stay outside; we won't go far."

Marie Tsuchimikado saw through it but didn't say anything, leaving behind a suggestive remark.

The two arrived at the open space outside the villa.

Qingyan took out the Red Phoenix, looking wary.

Standing opposite him, Tsuchimikado Mari crossed her arms and appeared quite indifferent.

Even if you try to suppress strength, many fundamental things cannot be suppressed.

For example, reaction speed.

Haruhiko understood this as well.

However, his goal was not to defeat Tsuchimikado Mari, but to gain combat experience.

Divine Words - High Speed!

Within ten minutes, the casting time of all spells is reduced by four seconds.

Tsuchimikado Mari simply watched him cast the spell quietly, without stopping him.

Generally, such spells are performed in advance in a secluded place where they will not be discovered.

But since this is just a friendly exchange, it doesn't really matter.

"start!"

Haruhiko shouted.

He suddenly swung the red phoenix in his hand forward.

Sword Master Moonshadow!

Almost instantly, the psionic energy transformed into a crescent-shaped sword aura, heading straight for Tsuchimikado Mari.

Haruhiko himself suddenly disappeared.

It is the Celestial Fox - Aura Concealment.

Tsuchimikado Mari stretched out her hand and clenched her fist.

Red psionic energy emerged and formed gauntlets.

As she threw a punch, the sword energy instantly dissipated.

Then, with a slight smirk, she turned and kicked him.

The howling wind lifted the hem of her nightgown.

Haruhiko took in all the scenery at once.

Tsuchimikado Mari's bare feet stepped on the tip of his knife.

But it did not cause any harm.

Instead, a powerful force came from within.

Haruhiko couldn't help but step back.

At the same time, a stream of water appeared in front of him.

Autumn waters, broken waves!

The water-based blade radiates an extremely sharp edge.

Tsuchimikado Mari bent backwards.

The body formed an astonishing curve.

The pajamas were pulled up from the thighs to the hips.

Haruhiko, without a moment to admire the view, steadied himself and rushed forward.

Swordsman·Shuangying Ranwu!

Fourth-order spells.

His body, along with the red phoenix, transformed into a shadow of blades, enveloping Tsuchimikado Mari.

"good."

Tsuchimikado Mari calmly braced herself with both hands.

Flames rose from her bare feet, rapidly covering the area and forming two walls of fire.

The scorching heat caused beads of sweat to appear on Haruhiko's forehead.

He quickly activated the Fisherman's Song Night Fire, and his body returned to normal.

But this delay caused problems.

Tsuchimikado Mari raised her leg, her fair toe slamming towards his face.

If it's at night, then it naturally has a different meaning.

Now it's a completely lethal move.

Haruhiko didn't have time to dodge, so he simply didn't try to dodge.

When he could feel the wind from those bare feet, the white mask appeared out of thin air.

His spirit object is Yuekai.

Tsuchimikado Mari immediately turned and slammed into his right shoulder.

White armor also appeared on his right shoulder in time.

This delay gave Qingyan an opportunity; Hongluan passed through the wall of fire and slashed diagonally.

In their brief exchange, he already knew that Tsuchimikado Mari had compressed her strength to match his own.

Even though they are both third-tier psionicists, they can use fourth-tier spells.

But in reality, Haruhiko suffered more losses.

As mentioned earlier, some things cannot be suppressed.
