He walked out the door and rejected Kubo Yuki's invitation in persuading him to stay for the banquet under the suspicious looks of the students and instructors at the dojo .
When Chikage Tojo walked out, he looked around and found no trace of his partner . He only realized that the others left early due to various reasons after asking others . He was speechless .
Kazuki made his way home quickly .
He sat on a chair, placed the Sun and Moon Sword on the table, and poked the scabbard lightly with his fingers . The Sun and Moon Sword quivered a little . A transparent apparition was 'flung' out of the sword the next moment .
Akie Hanzawa saw Kazuki immediately and started to tremble .
The moment he was sucked into the sword, all he felt was fear . He looked around and noticed that he was in a room . Like a piece of white paper, the whole place had no color whatsoever . There was only a ball of light circling around him, emitting a sharp aura . This frightened him, and he did not dare to move .
“What do you want?” Akie Hanzawa did not dare to talk much after he was summoned . Instead, he shrunk into a corner while looking at Kazuki with fear . The student before him was obviously not an average person . After all, he could separate him from Chikage Tojo for such a distance .
Although he was a specter, there was not much he could do other than walking through walls…
Right! Walking through walls .
Akie Hanzawa thought of something and was about to escape by walking through the wall . But before he could make a move, the Sun and Moon Sword rereleased its power as if it wanted to suck him back into that white room .
He was unable to move a muscle due to the powerful suction .
Kazuki looked at Akie Hanzawa, whose face was filled with fear and smiled faintly, “h.e.l.lo, Hanzawsan, pleased to meet you . I am Kazuki, an Onmyoji . ” He did not reveal his true ident.i.ty as it was too complicated to explain . So, he used an occupation that the j.a.panese could accept to start a chat with Akie Hanzawa .
“Onmyoji?” Akie Hanzawa finally stopped struggling because he knew that he could not escape even if he wanted to .
He looked at Kazuki and noticed that he was clearly wearing a school uniform . Even though Akie Hanzawa was an ordinary person, he was not an idiot . He also understood the principle of hiding in the crowd .
“Are… you here to purify me?” Akie Hanzawa asked anxiously . “I did not do anything bad in my lifetime, nor was I a bad person! You asked that fellow Tojo just now, I died saving someone . ”
“Hanzawsan, there's no need to be nervous . ” Kazuki smiled gently . This was his first time meeting a spirit after he had time-traveled . It was only natural for him to hope to absorb him perfectly . “I am here to carry out your last wish and help you ascend to heaven . ”
“Is there really heaven in this world?” After hearing him mentioning the ascension to heaven, Akie Hanzawa pushed down his fear, his face full of curiosity . When he was incarnated as an attachment spirit previously, he was sure that supernatural powers depicted in novels and animations definitely did exist .
After becoming a specter for the past month, he did not come into contact with any of it, until Kazuki's appearance today .
“Of course!” Kazuki said with certainty . To be frank, he did not know whether there was heaven, but he had to give Akie Hanzawa some hope . “The reason you did not ascend to heaven was that a strong obsession towards the world remained with you before you died . That is why you remained here and incarnated as a specter… A specter cannot fulfill its last wish due to its many limitations, and this is where we, the Onmyoji, step in . ”
“I believe you . ” Kazuki's explanation was simple, Akie Hanzawa was convinced as the other person did not kill him when he had the power to do so . He made the situation so c.u.mbersome instead . This alone was enough for him to trust him . Besides, he was here to help him carry out his last wish, what reason did he have to suspect Kazuki's motives?
“So, what is your last wish?”
“Resurrection . ” Akie Hanzawa finished and saw Kazuki's smile distort slightly . He then smiled embarra.s.singly and said, “Just joking…”
As he spoke, Akie Hanzawa's expression gradually grew sadder . “My last wish would probably be about my younger brother . I hoped that he could be independent and rely on himself in various senses after I left him . ”
Independence and self-reliance, this notion was extremely vague .
After pondering for a while, Kazuki nodded . “I understand . I will go and look for your brother in these two days to observe a little . You can stay in the Sun and Moon Sword for these two days . ”
Huh? Akie Hanzawa looked unhappy . “Is it possible… for me not to enter that white room? I feel like that ball of light inside really want to eat me alive . ”
“That is your misconception,” Kazuki said . “Look at where I live, if I let you stay in this room, wouldn't all of my privacy be completely exposed?”
Akie Hanzawa finally nodded helplessly . His trust in Kazuki had something to do with the place he lived . This room before him was tiny . There was a bed, a table, a chair, and a small bathroom, that was all .
The simple accommodation gave him a considerable contrast, which allowed Akie Hanzawa to trust Kazuki . It was hard to imagine that an Extraordinary Individual would live in a place like this . Since he had extraordinary powers, money should come quickly .
After Akie Hanzawa disappeared into the sword's spirit again, Kazuki took out the gray-colored Magatama from his pocket to observe it carefully .
After eliminating the Tsuk.u.mogami incarnated from the Buddha carving and having filtered the reiki through the sword's spirit, his realm now was still in the First Foundation State . But if he were to subdivide it, it would be the later period of the First Foundation State .
After many calculations, he had only practiced for a week after he activated the sword's spirit .
The speed of this practice was slow, like a crawling tortoise . The people from the era of the recuperation of reiki needed only a week to reach the Metamorphosis State .
But after all, he was in the era before the recuperation of reiki . With the Sun and Moon Sword, he practiced for 24 hours without rest, including absorbing the reiki of a whole blood-sucking bat, only did he reach such a state . Kazuki was already very pleased with this speed .
They were from different eras, so naturally, one could not judge the speed of a practice based on old concepts .
The gray Magatama before him was dropped from the insides of a Buddha carving . Even the old Onmyoji in the fragmented message did not discover this Magatama .
As for whether the bat Tsuk.u.mogami knew about it, Kazuki surmised that he probably knew about its presence . However, it was evident that he did not know what it was, so he just left it alone .
As he was thinking, Kazuki caressed the Magatama as reiki flowed out from his fingertips and entered the Magatama . The Magatama absorbed it quickly…
He also did the same thing in Kubo Yuki's study previously, which led him to discover something strange about this Magatama .
This Magatama was clear, and it could absorb reiki, but it was different from the Art of Kendo . The Art of Kendo could absorb the universe's reiki actively when this Magatama could only absorb pa.s.sively .
He also never once felt any dangerous aura from this Magatama, nor did he smell anything strange . After all, this Magatama had remained inside the body of the Buddha carving for so long . It was still clean and odorless when he found it . This bizarre issue had already surprised Kazuki enough, and it also let him know that this Magatama was probably not something dangerous .
As he was thinking, the absorption of reiki in Kazuki's hand did not stop . He really wanted to see if there were any changes to the Magatama once the reiki was absorbed to a certain extent .
The change occurred very quickly .
Kazuki released almost half of his reiki, and the Magatama's rough texture was gradually getting warmer and smoother . Emerald-green lights began to flow steadily from the sharp and thin end within the original gray color . As the reiki entered, the emerald-green lights flowed from the outside to the inside, gus.h.i.+ng from the tail end to the head .
After Kazuki had finished inserting all the reiki in his body, the Magatama was completely emerald-green in color, emitting rays of s.h.i.+ning green light .
