While I was chanting a curse, the system said I was Xiao Yan?

Night Moth looked at Tianyan: "Next up is Tianyan, a newly enrolled student from the Zen Academy."

Tianyan sat upright, awaiting instructions regarding his actions.

"As freshmen, everyone will have a simple test task, but..."

Moth changed the subject: "With your abilities, passing this mission should be very easy, but we still need to go through the procedures. So for this mission, you will team up with two newcomers."

Tian Yan was slightly taken aback: "A newcomer?"

Xia Youjie added from the side, "It's Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu."

Gojo Satoru: "That's right, that's right!"

"Um."

Moth pulled a slip of paper from its pocket and glanced at it: "Those two are a year below you, they're your juniors. They've been enrolled for a few days now, but haven't officially started any missions yet."

He put the note away and looked at Tianyan: "The two newcomers need someone to guide them. Originally, Gojo Satoru and Natsumi Yuki were more suitable candidates, but the situation with the special-grade curse spirit is more serious."

Therefore, you became the most suitable candidate.

Tianyan nodded: "I understand."

Ye'e glanced at him, then turned and walked towards the door: "That's settled then. You two get to know each other first. I'll go call the two newcomers over."

His figure disappeared at the door, and the sound of his footsteps gradually faded away along the corridor.

The classroom fell silent for a moment.

Gojo Satoru jumped off the desk, walked up to Tenen, put his hands in his pockets, and tilted his head to look him over.

"Lead the team, Tianyan-jun."

His tone carried a hint of glee, as if he were enjoying watching a good show: "Aren't you under a lot of pressure?"

Tianyan gave a gentle smile: "It's alright. I often do this kind of thing at the Zen Temple, so don't worry."

"Tsk."

Gojo Satoru let out a cryptic sigh, turned, and walked back to his seat: "Boring~"

Xia Youjie looked at Tianyan and smiled gently: "Since Teacher Ye'e has made this arrangement, there must be a reason for it. Tianyan-jun, there's no need to be too nervous."

Tianyan nodded: "Thank you."

Shoko Ieiri stood up from the window and walked up to Tenen. Her tone was calm, but her eyes were serious: "You can come to me if you get hurt, but it's best to try not to get hurt in the first place."

"Oh, right!"

Gojo Satoru jumped over again, pulling out his phone: "Let's add each other as friends! Remember to share any interesting moments from your missions!"

After the group added each other as friends, footsteps could be heard outside the door.

The door was pushed open, and Ye'e returned, followed by a boy in a school uniform.

Walking in front was a tall boy with dark blond hair, a side-parted fringe, and deep-set features. He looked somewhat mixed-race, with a calm expression and a maturity beyond his years in his eyes.

He walked with a steady gait, each step firm and solid, as if he were measuring the ground.

Walking behind was a boy with a completely different temperament. He had short hair that reached his eyebrows, a smile on his face, bright eyes, and an aura full of energy.

As soon as he entered, he looked around, and his eyes lit up when he saw Tianyan.

Moth pointed at Tianyan: "This is Tianyan from the Zen Academy, a level two sorcerer, your new senior, and also your team leader."

Then he looked at Tianyan and introduced him one by one.

"Level 3 Spellcaster Nanami Kento".

The composed young man greeted her in a measured and polite tone, his voice deep and respectful: "Senior Zen Monastery Tianyan, please take care of me."

"Level 3 Spellcaster Haibara Yu".

The energetic young man bowed deeply, his voice booming, "Senior Zen Master Tianyan! Please take care of me! I'll be relying on you from now on!"

Tianyan stood up and returned the greeting to the two, saying, "No need to be so polite, just call me Tianyan. I'm new here too, let's all work hard together."

Ye'e stood aside, watching the interaction between the three people, and nodded expressionlessly.

"Alright, now that we know each other, let's get down to business."

He took a piece of paper out of the folder, unfolded it, and placed it on his desk.

"The first mission is to target an abandoned cabaret in Kabukicho. The report says that a cursed spirit is lurking there, and three people have already been injured. The initial assessment is that it was the work of a level three cursed spirit, but the possibility of a level two cursed spirit cannot be ruled out."

His gaze swept across the three people's faces.

"Tenyan will lead the team, with Nanami and Haibara providing support. Their spirit levels aren't high, but this is Nanami and Haibara's first real battle, so they need to coordinate well."

Nanami Kento: "Yes."

Haibara clenched her fists, her eyes seemingly shining: "Yes, Moth-sensei! I'll definitely show Tenyan-senpai how hard I've worked!"

What passionate young people! So energetic!

In comparison, compared to Haibara Yu, Nanami Kento appears as mature as a corporate slave who has already entered society.

Tianyan looked at the information on the paper and nodded: "Understood. When do we depart?"

He had no complaints about going out to perform exorcisms on cursed spirits as soon as he enrolled.

There's another PvP mode waiting for him to grind, but right now he just wants to know when the battles will start and he can really enjoy them!

"Now."

Moth walked towards the door: "The car is ready and waiting for you downstairs."

Gojo Satoru's voice drifted from behind, carrying a gloating smile: "Good luck, Tenyan-kun."

Xia Youjie smiled and said, "Have a safe trip."

......

The car traveled through the bustling streets, and the scenery outside the window changed from mountains and forests to high-rise buildings, and then from high-rise buildings to a famous, neon-lit, and sleepless district.

Kabukicho.

Even during the day, this place exudes an atmosphere completely different from other areas.

Neon signs are densely packed on the exterior walls of the building, some lit and some dark, like a flag covered in patches.

The streets were packed with all sorts of shops: izakayas, arcades, karaoke bars, adult stores, with signs featuring increasingly exaggerated lettering and vibrant colors.

But it was daytime, and most of these shops were closed, their roller shutters painted with colorful "GG"s, looking somewhat dilapidated in the sunlight.

There weren't many people on the street, just a few here and there, walking slowly with their heads down, as if something had drained their energy.

Several men in suits squatted at the alley entrance smoking, their eyes vacant and their expressions numb like masks.

An indescribable atmosphere permeated the air.

It wasn't a foul smell, nor a fishy smell, but something more abstract, like something pressing down on the air, making breathing heavy and lowering one's mood.

Tianyan frowned slightly as he sensed that aura.

"I have a lot of negative emotions," he said.

Nanami Kento stood half a step behind him, carrying a rather large shoulder bag that was bulging inside.

His short, golden hair shimmered softly in the sunlight, and his expression remained as composed as ever.

His gaze swept across the street, his lips slightly pursed.

Lights, music, alcohol, desire—all extreme emotions intertwine and ferment here, becoming the richest breeding ground for cursed spirits.
