章節 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.
