Seiji brought his suitcase to Peach-sensei's apartment and gave her two personal barriers along with the instruction manual.
"Carry the talisman with you and then say the incantation …" Mayuzumi tried using it after reading the instruction manual.
There was a flash of light.
"The barrier has indeed been activated." Seiji used [Astral Vision] and saw that Mayuzumi's body was enveloped in a faint white light.
"I can't see …"
"This barrier is also effective against physical attacks. You can give it a try."
Seiji had Mayuzumi bring him a broom and forcefully waved it at her.
* Boom! * The broom was blocked by an invisible force.
With [Astral Vision], Seiji was able to clearly see the barrier spell formation in action.
He confirmed that there were no problems with the product.
Seiji said goodbye and went to the Juumonji Group. He handed three personal barriers and one location barrier to Tomohisa along with the instruction manual.
"Thank you, Seigo. You've been a great help."
"I was just helping out with the shopping. No need to be so polite."
The two of them exchanged glances and smiled.
After wishing each other a happy New Year, they parted ways.
…
Little Shi finished setting up a barrier to protect his home, Uehara's apartment, and Feng Wu's apartment.
Seiji chatted with the three Amami siblings on the internet and learned that they had obtained a seemingly high-level talisman from their grandfather that seemed to be able to repel demons.
It was indeed the real thing … but since Patriarch Amami didn't tell him the truth, Seiji didn't say anything else.
It would be best if there wouldn't be any more demons tonight.
Although it would be awkward if no demons appeared after spending so much effort, it was still better than running into actual danger.
After chatting with Seiji, Seiji picked up his wooden sword.
The wooden sword that Summer Night had given him had only one "gift" — [Beginner-level Sword Technique Learning Card]!
After using it, he immediately learned [Martial arts technique — Beginner-level Sword Technique].
The effect was simple, violent, and powerful.
Having already used it, Seiji could now play with the wooden sword with great proficiency. It was even easy for him to cast Ripple Blade.
The fourth ability of the Character Reward Card [Shika Kagura] was unlocked as a result.
"Additional Skill 4: Ice Calamity Blade (Basic Sword Technique required)"
"Psionic weapon skills. You need to wield a saber-type psionic weapon to cast it. You need to slash out with a freezing effect, and at the same time, condense an ice-cold spirit blade for an additional attack. Using it consumes Psionic Energy and stamina. The power of the attack depends on the total amount of Psionic Energy and stamina consumed. You can only use it twice a day. This attack will bring forth the Ice Blade Calamity! "
My dear System, you finally stopped using the Overwatch Blade joke. This was what Seiji thought after reading the lines.
The Frost Slash skill could only be used twice a day, and its attack power depended on the amount of energy consumed … It seemed that it could be used as an ultimate skill.
He wanted to test it out in the president's residence's underground training ground, but he decided to forget about it tonight.
Seiji was swinging his wooden saber in the study, listening to the sound of the saber cutting through the air. He felt a little refreshed.
At this moment, Mika and Chiaki arrived.
"I feel so safe here!" Chiaki casually sat down by the kotatsu as if it was her own home.
"I'm even beginning to look forward to demons appearing. I want to see what the real deal looks like. I also want to see you, Seiji, coolly killing them. "
"Don't make it sound like you're participating in a live show." Seiji poured some tea for them.
"Right now, I'm just waiting to watch a live show. It would be best if a Tamamo no Mae or a Daitengu appeared. That would make the fight more exciting."
"Chiaki, honestly …" Mika glanced coldly at her friend who was giggling.
"Don't be so smug. Perhaps a powerful demon will come and instantly eat you up. We won't even be able to save you in time," Seiji told her in a low voice.
"Eh? That wouldn't happen, would it? "Chiaki's expression froze over slightly.
"It's not completely impossible. If a powerful demon appears, the barrier might not be able to stop it, and it might suddenly charge in … "Seiji spoke in a low voice as a cold expression slowly appeared on his face.
"It's even possible that a vicious demon that we can't deal with will appear, and we'll only be able to escape. At that time, we'll need someone to act as bait to distract it, and you'll be the perfect sacrifice. "
"Don't!"
"That's the true reason why I allowed you to live here, hmph."
"So insidious!"
"The barrier has already been set up. You won't be able to escape even if you want to."
"Save me!!!" Chiaki trembled in fear.
Seiji had an evil expression as he laughed loudly.
As expected, there was no tension between the two of them when they were together. Mika commented in her mind as she silently sipped on her tea.
"By the way, Mika, how was it when you went to learn from Kinsa-san in the afternoon?" Seiji changed the topic after he finished joking around.
"The situation … was alright." The double pigtailed girl revealed a complex expression.
Why did she have such an expression again? Both Seiji and Chiaki felt that this was rather strange.
"At any rate, Kinsa-sensei is an excellent sensei. I should be able to learn many things under her guidance, but it also feels like I'll lose something …" Mika looked into the distance as she spoke in a soft voice.
Why did she seem so old? Just what did she experience?
Both Seiji and Chiaki were filled with question marks.
Although they wanted to ask in detail, the double pigtailed girl gave off an aura that she didn't want to talk about it, so neither of them were able to ask.
Feng Wu and Ling Yang came out of their room.
The loli and mature woman greeted Mika and Chiaki, then sat down in front of the television and began playing video games.
"When did you take Juumonji-sensei into your room? You're such a bad person. "Chiaki looked at Seiji Mukai.
"Don't make it sound like there's something going on; she's just accompanying Little Ling Yang."
"You're using an elementary school girl to seduce a beautiful teacher, you bad person!"
"It seems that you're trying to make me out to be a bad person …"
"If you don't like it, how about calling me a beast instead?"
"That's even worse!"
Cheerful music started playing. On the television, the plumber uncle and the princess who was always kidnapped were racing on the track, using all sorts of despicable methods to obstruct each other's progress, using any means necessary to achieve victory.
Outside the window, the night gradually darkened.
…
Genji checked the time.
It was time to go to bed, but the anxiety in her heart prevented her from feeling sleepy.
Would a demon appear?
She didn't regret rejecting Seigo's offer of help at that time, but she couldn't help but feel afraid when she thought about the possibility that a demon might actually appear.
'It's fine, it's fine.
I've already told Seigo that if I meet a demon, I can ask him for help, and he'll rush over immediately. '
The purple-haired girl felt reassured as she recalled that person's figure.
She picked up her cell phone and sent him a message on a chatting app. "Good night, Mr. Hero."
She received a reply within two seconds.
"Good night, Your Highness." A smiling emoticon followed.
Genji smiled sweetly when she saw this.
Meanwhile, in another city.
Seiji decided to wait until twelve o 'clock.
He wanted to see if the Midnight Spell would be used again … Although he felt that it was highly unlikely, he was still a little worried.
Logically speaking, it was impossible to cast such a large-scale spell again in such a short period of time. Besides, the entire city was on high alert right now. If they did something so large again … did they really think that all the Spiritual Ability users in this city were idiots?
It was impossible for them to be so suicidal.
