Bab 491: -485- Another challenge

"Hmm?"

The sudden voice made Rozen slightly reacted, and he looked forward.

There, in front of Rozen's seat, stood an exceedingly beautiful girl.

"It's you...?"

Rozen squinted his eyes, showing a somewhat annoyed expression.

Looking at Rozen like this, Kurahashi Kyouko raised her eyebrows and her tone turned unpleasant.

"I'm asking you a question!"

Kurahashi Kyouko raised her voice a little.

Clearly, she was very concerned about this question.

Rozen understood this as well.

Considering the fact that he possessed a Shikigami, it was quite normal for the students around him to react this way.

And there was no need to conceal this fact.

"It's me."

Rozen replied straightforwardly.

"That's the Shikigami passed down through the Tsuchimikado family. As a member of the Kurahashi family, you couldn't be unaware of this, could you?"

Rozen responded with this question.

Upon hearing this, Kurahashi Kyouko slightly bit her lip.

Not only Kurahashi Kyouko, but even the students around them fell silent.

Unlike other Shikigami, Servent-type Shikigami and Guardian Shikigami are typically continuously summoned for twenty-four hours.

If it's a simple Shikigami, you just need to create it during generation. Once the summoning ends, it will return to its talisman form and won't consume the user's jutsuryoku anymore. When needed, you can take out the talisman and generate it again as a talisman. There's no need to continuously consume jutsuryoku.

Not only the Common-type Shikigami, even the binding-type and curse-type Shikigami are the same—they don't need to be in use, they revert to talisman form. When needed, the user infuses jutsuryoku into the talisman to generate them, very convenient.

However, Servent-type Shikigami and Guardian Shikigami are different. They don't revert to talisman form during normal times; they just dematerialize and stay with the user in a spiritual form, requiring a continuous supply of jutsuryoku. Otherwise, the summoning will be canceled.

In this case, Onmyoji who possess Servent-type and Guardian Shikigami naturally bear a considerable burden.

If an Onmyoji doesn't possess a certain level of spiritual power, they can't use Servent-type and Guardian Shikigami at all. So, those capable of using Servent-type and Guardian Shikigami are the types with powerful spiritual energy. Even among professional Onmyoji, there aren't many who can achieve this level.

Therefore, being able to use Guardian and Servent-type Shikigami is a symbol of status.

Of course, Onmyoji can choose not to continuously summon Servent-type and Guardian Shikigami, only carrying the talisman form and summoning them when necessary.

However, this would lose the main advantage of Servent-type and Guardian Shikigami—being a Shikigami that close-guard the Onmyoji.

For example, Rozen. If he doesn't continuously summon Hokuto and instead reverts it to talisman form, then when danger comes, Hokuto wouldn't be able to come out to protect him.

On the contrary, by continuously maintaining the summoning, even if Rozen doesn't have time to summon, Hokuto can autonomously materialize and protect the master.

Having Servent-type and Guardian Shikigami has this advantage, providing great assurance in terms of safety.

Although when the Shikigami isn't materialized, the consumption is reduced, similar to the relationship between a master and servant, when the servant dematerializes, it can also reduce consumption.

However, both parties still maintain the contract and a link to spiritual power, which is necessary.

In this way, even the Servent-type and Guardian Shikigami that even professional Onmyoji can't easily possess, a mere first-year freshman already possesses them, and they are rare and precious true dragons. Just based on this, even if Rozen didn't do anything, the surrounding students would know how capable Rozen is.

Given this, even if they had suspected, hearing Rozen admit it personally, the students present were all at a loss for words.

Jealousy?

Probably.

Unwilling to accept?

Probably.

Being able to possess Servent-type and Guardian Shikigami indicates that the other party is at least outstanding in terms of spiritual power. Even professional Onmyoji might not reach this level. In the future, their prospects are undoubtedly bright.

In their class, having such an outstanding individual and experiencing the gap between each other in such a direct way, especially in this Onmyoji industry that emphasizes aptitude and foundation, where they might not even graduate smoothly, let alone obtain the formal qualification—yet the other party is destined to have these things they aspire to—who wouldn't feel jealous and unwilling to accept?

Not to mention, just thinking that Rozen is the reincarnation of Yakou, a great figure in the world of jujutsu, and also a sinner in history, makes everyone's emotions even more complex.

Even Kurahashi Kyouko's emotions were complex, but...

"Don't think you're the only one who's special."

Kurahashi Kyouko formed hand seals, and her magical power surged.

"Come forth! Hakuou! Kokufu!"

With Kurahashi Kyouko's call, whirlwinds of black and white spiraled behind her, transforming into two humanoid forms that appeared behind her.

"Ho?"

Rozen raised an eyebrow.

"What... is that...!?"

The surrounding students were in a commotion.

Appearing behind Kurahashi Kyouko were two Shikigami.

One Shikigami was white, and the other was black, both taking on humanoid forms. They exuded an aura akin to martial arts masters, not only emitting a sense of expertise but also adorned with knight-like armor all over their bodies. They had two helmets on their heads, resembling knights from the medieval era or modern highly-precise armed robots. Their appearance was extraordinary.

Upon closer inspection, the white Shikigami held a Japanese katana, while the black one wielded a naginata. They were armed to the teeth.

Rozen recognized the two Shikigami in front of him.

They were the mass-produced Mechanical Shikigami developed by the Onmyou Agency—the "G2 Model Yaksha."

They were renowned for their flexibility and superior technology. Despite being mass-produced, they were configured as defaults and possessed martial arts skills at a master level. Depending on the equipped weapon, they had different combat styles.

The two Yaksha before him seemed to be named Hakuou for the white one and Kokufu for the black one, wielding a Japanese katana and naginata respectively. It was evident that they were masters of swordsmanship and polearm combat.

Needless to say, to utilize these abilities, the user's control technique was crucial. Just controlling one was already very difficult, yet Kurahashi Kyouko managed to summon two at once, and she appeared to be very proficient at it. This indicated Kurahashi Kyouko's strength.

"They are my Shikigami."

Kurahashi Kyouko maintained the summoning and looked at Rozen.

"Tsuchimikado Akikan, do you dare engage in a jujutsu combat with me?"

Kurahashi Kyouko finally extended a formal invitation for a duel.

Bab 492: -486- I'll be your opponent

A Jujutsu battle.

The term made all the students in the classroom gasp in astonishment.

"No... could it be?"

"Kurahashi challenging Tsuchimikado...?"

"A Jujutsu battle..."

"Isn't this too much?"

The students in the entire classroom reacted excessively.

It's important to note that all these students who had just entered the Onmyou Academy were novices in the world of Jujutsu.

Even though they might come from prestigious backgrounds, they had just stepped into the world of Jujutsu. Engaging in a Jujutsu battle was an alien concept to them. Even the elite, born in prestigious families, had little experience, and if they did, it was merely testing the waters.

Now, Kurahashi Kyouko suddenly proposed a Jujutsu battle. Not to mention Rozen, at least these students present were unable to keep their composure.

However, this also indicated that all the students present were rookies who had just entered the field.

Just like in a battle, without prior experience, even if one had formidable strength, they lacked experience. It wouldn't be surprising to lose to someone weaker in strength but with more experience.

True Onmyouji had to go through real battles and accumulate experience in Jujutsu battles.

Hence, only those daring to challenge Jujutsu battles could enhance themselves and ultimately step into this perilous profession.

Now, Kurahashi Kyouko made a formal challenge to Rozen for a Jujutsu battle, her expression and gaze firm, even revealing a sense of determination.

Looking at Kurahashi Kyouko like this, Rozen couldn't help but recall the agreement he made with this girl back then.

"If I learn Jujutsu in the future, you must have a duel with me, like the Jujutsu battle you had today."

This was the request Kurahashi Kyouko made to Rozen back then, or perhaps a plea.

And Rozen answered this way at the time.

"Okay, no problem."

Rozen answered this way at the time.

Now, Rozen put away his impatient expression, facing Kurahashi Kyouko.

Just as Rozen was about to respond...

"It seems you didn't take my words yesterday seriously, Kurahashi Kyouko."

With this statement, Rozen's shikigami stepped forward, blocking in front of him.

Who else could it be but Natsume.

"You...!"

Kurahashi Kyouko, her steadfast gaze now blocked from reaching Rozen, turned into frustration.

But in the face of Kurahashi Kyouko's frustration, Natsume remained unaffected.

"I already said yesterday, if you want to challenge Akikan, you have to go through me first."

Natsume stared directly at Kurahashi Kyouko, her tone filled with discontent.

Naturally, Kurahashi Kyouko found Natsume's presence annoying.

"This is a matter between him and me," Kurahashi Kyouko said through gritted teeth. "It has nothing to do with you. Even if you're his shikigami, that doesn't stop my right to challenge."

To Kurahashi Kyouko's words, Natsume countered without showing weakness.

"Since I'm Akikan's shikigami, if you want to challenge him, it's only right for me, as a shikigami, to intervene," Natsume countered. "Moreover, my rank is higher than yours, and Akikan's rank is higher than mine. If you want to challenge him, at least you should defeat me first, shouldn't you?"

"Do you think you're stronger than me just because your rank is higher?" Kurahashi Kyouko raised her hand, pointing at Natsume. "The entrance exam's results are a comprehensive assessment of tests and practical skills. Practical skills aren't tested in a combat-like manner. It assesses a student's spiritual power, jujutsu, and qualities. Even if your abilities in these aspects are higher than mine, true jujutsu battles are not just about these."

As Kurahashi Kyouko stated, the entrance exam at the Onmyou Academy was a comprehensive assessment of a student's qualities, not just strength.

After all, entering the Onmyou Academy was for nurturing future talents. As long as there was talent and potential, it was worth absorbing and cultivating.

Natsume's entrance exam score was higher than Kurahashi Kyouko's, which could prove that Natsume had better overall qualities than Kurahashi Kyouko, not necessarily stronger in terms of power.

Especially now, Kurahashi Kyouko had summoned her shikigami, and not just one but two. This part wasn't assessed in the entrance exam. In a real battle, just using jujutsu, Natsume might not necessarily be a match for Kurahashi Kyouko, or rather, she definitely wouldn't win against Kurahashi Kyouko, who could control two shikigami.

This was the view of the students present.

However...

"I remember, you said something like this just now,"

Natsume calmly spoke up.

"Don't think you're the only special one."

After saying this, Natsume formed hand seals.

"Come forth! Hekireki!"

Natsume ordered loudly.

In the next moment, a burst of lightning and thunder erupted from Natsume, as if a dazzling golden shikigami resembling a vajra was splitting apart from Natsume's body, appearing in front of Kurahashi Kyouko.

"What...!?"

This time, even Kurahashi Kyouko was taken aback.

As for the other students, they all widened their eyes and voiced their amazement.

"Lightning...!"

"It's a shikigami of lightning!"

"And it's a guardian shikigami!"

"Tsuchimikado Natsume also has a shikigami...!?"

"And... it's a lightning-type guardian shikigami...!?"

"No way..."

Each student found it hard to believe their eyes.

However, at this moment, no one blamed this person.

There was no way.

Right now, two girls were facing off against each other, and the atmosphere was becoming tense. Both of them were exceptional beyond ordinary standards.

One was a daughter of the branch family of the Tsuchimikado, a prestigious Onmyo family.

The other was the only daughter of the top-ranking jujutsu family, Kurahashi.

One was a new student ranked second, renowned for her control over the challenging and difficult-to-master lightning-type shikigami.

The other could simultaneously control two specially made shikigami from the Onmyou Agency, securing her the third rank among the new students.

In such a standoff, even in previous years, not to mention the first year, such extraordinary individuals were rare even in the third year.

Now, these two students were facing off, and they were on the brink of engaging in a jujutsu battle. The students couldn't help but feel nervous.

However, amidst the tension, the students were also excited.

To witness a battle of higher caliber than the first-year students on the second day of enrollment, a jujutsu battle that not even professional Onmyoji were sure of forming—how could they not be excited?

Rozen also watched the two girls, who were controlling protective shikigami, face off. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but their determined gazes stopped him, and he had no choice but to stay silent.

Just as Natsume and Kyouko were about to begin...

"Clap!"

A clear applause rang out.

"Alright! That's enough!"

The frivolous and unserious voice finally interrupted the intense atmosphere.
