A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

Isayama Naraku remained silent.

Xiao Ming gave him a truly "scare".

The three terrifying monsters, which possessed a terrifying aura like the cursed spirit "Nue" passed down through generations of the Isayama family, were now quietly and "obediently" standing beside Isayama Kenmei, like tamed hunting dogs.

But that was for Kenmei Isayama. For Naraku Isayama, just being watched by them made him feel terrified.

These enormous, terrifying beasts, their bodies covered in hard scales, had crimson, savage vertical pupils that curved and emitted a ghostly red light, and mouths full of sharp teeth that breathed out molten, scorching heat.

These three hounds, symbolizing the wrath of the Blood God, are undoubtedly the answer that Kenmei Isayama is giving to Naraku Isayama, who is currently distrustful of him.

"Uncle, I have to go now."

Kenmei Isayama rose to take his leave.

"I will come to visit you more often in the future."

Isayama Naraku watched his departing figure and could only smile helplessly.

After leaving the Isayama residence, Isayama Kenmei immediately made a phone call.

The call was connected very quickly.

"Xianming?"

However, it seemed a bit noisy over there; Kenmei Isayama could hear another person's voice, who seemed somewhat excited.

"Who is it? Jay, it's rare for someone to call you."

Chapter 86 Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Curses

The Blood God's original gift, [Eternal Pursuit], was dismantled by Kenmei Isayama and incorporated into the [Summoning System].

Only then could Kenmei Isayama summon three flesh hounds in one go in front of his uncle with great boldness, without considering the issue of "mana value" consumption.

Unlike equipment effects, the biggest benefit of integrating the [Summoning System] is that the mana cost for Kenmei Isayama to summon each Flesh Hound to the mortal world is the same, and there are no subsequent costs.

Kenmei Isayama can control a maximum of four Flesh Hounds because he only has five summon slots available. One slot is occupied by a Life-Shaping Insect Queen, so the remaining four slots are just right for filling Flesh Hounds.

The sacrifice of the fifth Flesh Hound was exchanged for the ability of Kenmei Isayama to withstand the consumption of four Flesh Hounds fighting simultaneously.

He felt it was worth it. Currently, summoning four Fleshhounds requires 60 x 4, which equals 240 mana, while the original [Eternal Pursuit] equipment required 420 mana.

This difference represents a full 180 mana points, which is crucial for psychics. Every bit saved is precious, meaning Kenmei Isayama could cast several more psychic spells.

When mana is depleted, even an Alpha-level psionicist can only watch helplessly.

As for Kenmei Isayama's fourth flesh-and-blood hound, he secretly hid it in Sister Yomi's shadow. The incident with Sister Yomi also served as a wake-up call for him.

Kenmei Isayama didn't want to lose his only sister anymore, so he took out an insurance policy for Yomi.

"Sir, we've arrived."

Upon hearing the driver's words, Kenmei Isayama immediately ended his dozing and opened his eyes to glance out the window.

"Okay, driver, please drop me off by the roadside."

Kenmei Isayama stepped out of the taxi and was greeted by a vast expanse of lush, green mountains completely covered by trees, prompting him to sigh in admiration.

Is this really Tokyo?

The road sign next to him reads "Yanshan Foothills," so he must be right. He called a taxi here based on the location Xia Youjie gave him.

"I didn't know Tokyo had such remote places; it looks almost like the countryside."

There is also a sign for "Private Second Ise Grand Shrine Academy" by the roadside, but it looks dilapidated, making one wonder if the sign hasn't been changed in decades.

Who would have thought that this seemingly unorthodox Jingu Academy is actually home to the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Higher Specialized School, one of only two jutsu education institutions in Japan.

The private (religious) school that Jingu Academy advertises is actually a front for the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School. At first glance, it seems like a fraudulent institution, but in reality, it is a cradle for training jujutsu masters.

Kenmei Isayama came to Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School to resolve the peculiar cherry blossom mark on his arm and to find out its origin.

The Sesshoseki incident made Kenmei Isayama realize the importance of knowledge. It's said that the library of books on high-level sorcery is comparable to any of the three founding families, so he came here to try his luck.

"Let me see."

However, Kenmei Isayama encountered difficulties before even reaching the mountain, struggling to find a possible path by referring to the map.

There's no way around it; the map on Kenmei Isayama's phone is so simple it looks like a child's doodle.

The crooked lines vaguely indicate how to get there, along with a few sketches of landmarks and a few little figures indicating the "destination," making up this hastily drawn map.

This was drawn by Xia Youjie's friend, the same white-haired, sunglasses-wearing young man who liked to show off last time. He heard that Isayama Kenmei was visiting for the first time, so he enthusiastically drew this map to guide Isayama Kenmei up the mountain.

As for the two of them, they couldn't go down the mountain to pick him up because they had tasks assigned by their teacher.

The only part of the map that Kenmei Isayama thought was decent was the two little figures. One was wearing sunglasses, and the other had his hair in buns. Both of them were waving happily, as if welcoming Kenmei Isayama's arrival.

"Sigh, it just doesn't feel reliable."

Kenmei Isayama sighed.

The map indicates that the entrance is located at the third tree from the left on the left, near the large rock.

But who knows which big rock it was? After searching around, Kenmei Isayama finally found the entrance marked on the map by a combination of guesswork and deduction.

"Finally, I saw it."

After squeezing through a gap, Kenmei Isayama's view suddenly opened up before him.

Before me lay an ancient, white stone-paved staircase, above which stood a series of vermilion torii gates, with shrine-like auxiliary buildings on both sides of the path.

Kenmei Isayama looked up at the mountain. The telephone poles were hidden among the trees. The path led straight up, and there were torii gates all along the way. According to the map, it seemed that all he had to do was follow this path up the mountain.

"This road is really long; it feels like it will take a while to walk it."

"Never mind, let's just treat it as exercise."

When Kenmei Isayama first stepped onto these steps, a certain being, who was dozing off in a magnificent palace located on the lowest level of the Tokyo Magic Academy, sensed it and seemed quite interested in Kenmei Isayama's arrival.

After passing countless torii gates, Kenmei Isayama finally reached the summit, where someone was already waiting.

Upon seeing Kenmei Isayama, the people waiting there immediately came forward to greet him, appearing very enthusiastic.

Kenmei Isayama also noticed that the newcomer was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who looked very energetic, wearing the uniform of the Jujutsu High School.

"Is that Mr. Isayama?"

Kenmei Isayama nodded.

"That's great, because it was Natsuyou-senpai and Gojo-san who suddenly asked me to do this, I was worried I wouldn't make it in time."

The student breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and began to introduce himself.

"Hello, my name is Haibara Yu, and I am a first-year student at the Jujutsu High School."

"I have been entrusted by Senior Natsume and Senior Gojo to serve as your guide."

Upon hearing that it was someone sent by Jie to meet him, Kenmei Isayama nodded and responded in kind.

"Hello, Haibara-kun."

Isayama Kenmei said

"Don't be so formal, just call me Xianming."

"No, no, that won't do. Mr. Isayama is of the same generation as Senior Natsumi and the others."

Upon hearing what Kenmei Isayama said, Yu Haibara hurriedly waved his hand in refusal.

Kenmei Isayama then realized that Japan has a particularly strong hierarchical system.

He didn't press the matter, but continued speaking

"Then, Haibara-kun, just call me Isayama-senpai."

"That can."

Haibara accepted the title and continued...

"Senior Isayama, you really are a very kind person."

Isayama Kenmei asked

"Why do you say that?"

"Haha, because I'm very confident in my judgment of people."

Haibara Yu touched his head and said

"Is he kind?"

Kenmei Isayama stroked his chin. "Your judgment of people is really... terrible. Even he himself is afraid of the things he's done."

"Senior Isayama, stay close to me a little, because our school is quite big, and you might get lost if you're not careful."

Haibara Yu said

Thank you L and Li Chen for the two monthly tickets.

Thank you for the two monthly tickets from He Nai Bu La!

Thanks to Daochong for the monthly pass.

Thank you Ziyun Qianyu for the monthly ticket.

Chapter 87 Nanami

(Nanami's) assessment

"The scenery is really beautiful."

Led by this rather outgoing first-year student from the Jujutsu High School, Kenmei Isayama finally arrived at the actual location of the Tokyo Jujutsu High School.

"The barrier of our Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School was personally set up by Lord Tengen. The inside of the barrier is quite safe and no one can invade it."

Haibara Yu proudly introduced the situation here to Isayama Kenmei.
