The Japanese-fear sorcerer who started by taking in Tomie

Feel the knowledge that appears in my mind.

New Hengyuan is confused.

[Summon Familiar] and [Tracer Bullet]

Is this really a spell a warlock like me should learn?

One is clearly a spell exclusive to mages, because only mages can learn it; the other should be something in the priest's list of divine spells.

And what about him? Shin Hengyuan is a sorcerer!

If other warlocks saw this, they would definitely question them on the spot: Are you a legal warlock?

Never mind, we'll talk about this later.

Shin Hengyuan shook his head, temporarily putting the problem out of his mind. He was originally worried about how to deal with Hanako.

Although Hanako is a ghost story, her true nature is actually a type of earthbound spirit among ghosts.

Now, with the [Tracer Bullet], everything is solved. The Tracer Bullet's damage attribute is Radiant, and most undead and ghosts have no resistance to Radiant damage, some are even weak to it.

Xin Hengyuan looked down and opened his phone. It was 9 a.m., and there was still a long time before midnight.

Now that I have obtained the [Summon Familiar] spell, what kind of familiar should I get next?

He leaned back in his chair, his mind racing through the usual options.

Ravens, cats, owls, snakes, lizards, octopuses...

Ravens are good; they're intelligent and can fly, but the options are too common.

Owls and eagles are conspicuous and inconvenient in the city.

The venomous snake is fine; it's small, and you can just wrap it around your wrist and go out.

As for aquatic species like octopuses and fish, they can be excluded. Since Xin Hengyuan spends most of its time on land, such as in cities, it has little use for them.

Animals like lizards, frogs, and crabs have limited reconnaissance capabilities and poor combat ability, so we'll eliminate them.

After much deliberation, Xin Hengyuan fell into deep thought.

Just then, Jorogumo crawled out of the pocket, lay on his lap, and waved her two forelimbs as if to say, "I'm hungry."

Shin Hengyuan picked up a bread bug from the box and handed it to her. Jorogumo took a bite and contentedly dragged the food back into her pocket.

Xin Hengyuan stared at it, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Isn't this already readily available?

Jorogumo is a spider-like creature, small in size, capable of easily squeezing through cracks in walls and climbing ceilings, and it goes unnoticed. After all, spiders are quite common, making scouting much easier.

More importantly, Jorogumo is a yokai, and her foundation is much stronger than that of ordinary animals. Once her yokai power is restored, her fighting strength will be truly formidable.

What else is there to choose? This is it.

Shin Hengyuan decisively decided to make Jorogumo his pet.

The spell 【Summon Familiar】 requires imprinting a soul mark on the selected creature before casting it. Only by imprinting a soul mark can a summoned creature surpass a summoned creature.

To successfully imprint a soul mark on a chosen magical pet, either the target itself must not resist, or the caster's own soul power must be greater than the target's.

Forcibly branding someone can backfire badly, causing serious backlash to the soul.

However, with Jorogumo in her current state, it's practically the same as if she were given away for free.

Ninety-nine percent of her demonic power was gone; the little demonic power she had left was barely more than that of an ordinary spider.

Even if it wanted to rebel, what trouble could it possibly cause? Her soul is now pitifully weak and poses no threat whatsoever.

It's safe! It's all safe!

Shin Hengyuan took the Jorogumo out of his pocket and placed it in his palm.

The little guy was happily munching on a breadworm when he was suddenly lifted out. His eight legs flailed aimlessly in the air, with breadworms still clinging to his fangs.

Xin Hengyuan smiled slightly.

He decisively put the Jorogumo back into his pocket and headed straight for the school rooftop. He needed to find a secluded and deserted place to imprint the Jorogumo's soul mark, and the rooftop was definitely the best choice.

Upon arriving at the rooftop and opening the door, I found that the school bell had already rung, and the students had gradually returned to their classrooms to begin their lessons.

Standing on this rooftop, Shin Hengyuan felt a pang of nostalgia; it didn't seem like long ago that he had beaten up Tomie here.

Indeed, not long had passed, only four days.

Shin Hengyuan withdrew his gaze, took the Jorogumo out of his pocket, and held it in front of him.

The little guy was curled up in his palm. The breadworm had already been eaten up and only the skin was left. Its eight legs were obediently tucked in, as if it had also sensed something.

"Let's begin!"

Xin Hengyuan closed his eyes and tried to mobilize his soul power. An invisible thread made of soul power stretched out from between Xin Hengyuan's eyebrows.

As the silk thread reached into the palm of the palm, the Jorogumo trembled and instinctively raised her front legs to resist.

However, Jorogumo's soul was too weak. She was already seriously injured and had not yet recovered. She was then severely injured by Shinji Gen, and finally, Tamamo Ken forcibly stripped her of her original power. In addition, she suffered the pain of losing her child.

Jorogumo's soul was almost as thin as a sheet of paper, and Shingen's soul threads pierced through Jorogumo's soul barrier with almost no effort.

With a gentle touch to a very deep place in Jorogumo's soul, the mark of her soul was imprinted the next second, shimmering with a faint light within her.

Xinhengyuan successfully left its mark on Luoxinfu's body.

Jorogumo stopped moving.

The moment the mark fell, her soul suddenly connected with Shin Hengyuan's soul.

Shin Hengyuan had a sudden thought and instantly saw his own handsome face. Not from a mirror, but from Jorogumo's eight tiny eyes, from eight slightly off-center angles, all at the same time.

Through the soul imprint, Shin Hengyuan can clearly sense Jorogumo's emotions and location, and can summon her to his presence at any time.

Become!

Shin Hengyuan opened his eyes and nodded in satisfaction. He reached out and gently touched the foreleg of Jorogumo, who obediently rubbed against his fingertip.

What an adorable appearance!

"In that case, it's time to give you a name."

Shin Hengyuan touched the Jorogumo lying in his palm and pondered for a moment.

"Hmm... Spider Princess." Shin Hengyuan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything good. He really didn't know how to come up with a name, so he simply kept it simple.

"From now on, I'll call you Spider Princess."

The reason is also quite blunt and simple.

Jorogumo is essentially a spider, and being female, the name Spider Princess is straightforward and doesn't mince words.

The little spider in the palm tilted its head, and Xin Hengyuan's face was reflected in its eight eyes.

A faint, but slightly disdainful, emotional fluctuation came from the other end of the soul connection.

Clearly, the former Spider-Woman had some reservations about the half-hearted naming.

"There's no use complaining, the name is settled." Shin Hengyuan stretched out a finger and poked Spider Princess's head hard.

"Work hard for me from now on, and I'll provide you with plenty of breadworms. As long as you behave, I'll find a way to help you restore your demonic power."

Xinhengyuan didn't care whether Zhuji could understand it or not; they just made the promise first.

Xin Hengyuan glanced down at his phone. It was still early, so he put Zhu Ji back in his pocket and got up to walk towards the stairwell.

He planned to attend a class first, since he had nothing else to do anyway.
