บท 140: Night of the Inugami 1

Ceres's POV: 

This is somehow going even worse than I expected.

Because, it would appear that the boy—Hotaru—has something weighing in his head that's preventing him from channeling his chi.

If this were regular Yako-nin training, like what I'd received…

He would already be dead by now.

As newly christened adults, we're made to compete and fight with one another, here, without mercy. Which is why being here doesn't exactly bring back the greatest memories. But, even so, there's no other method I know of that would unlock his latent chi abilities.

Tchh. How annoying!

What a weird twist of fate, that I should end up as somebody's teacher.

It's getting dark, though. Which means the Inugami will soon be out prowling through the jungle, as if my day wasn't a big enough pain already.
