A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

The main reason is that Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suguru's formidable strength has become a stereotype in their minds, causing Shoko to subconsciously categorize the unfamiliar Kenmei Isayama as being in the same camp as herself.

Who would have thought that Kenmei Isayama, who might just be a quiet spectator, could actually be just as capable as Natsume Yuki, or even someone like Gojo Satoru?

"And glass, don't forget that Nanami was saved by Kenmei in the previous accident."

"Right, Nanami?"

Xia Youjie turned his head to look at the other bed over there, and heard his senior's shout.

The person who was sleeping finally "woke up".

"Yes, it was indeed Senior Xianming who saved me."

Previously, thanks to Kenmei Isayama's timely intervention, Kenji Nanami was only too frightened and was resting in the infirmary.

But Wu Tiao's senior was screaming like a pig being slaughtered, and Qi Haijian was lying in the infirmary unable to sleep.

When the seniors were revealing each other's secrets, they probably felt embarrassed knowing there was a junior present. Nanami Kento tried his best to keep a low profile, but Natsuyou-senpai still saw through him, so his tone was quite resentful when he answered.

"If it weren't for Senior Xianming, I might not be here now."

Qi Haijian listened to every word Xia You and the others said. It turned out that the person who saved him knew Xia You and the others.

"Isayama-kun is that powerful."

Shoko covered her mouth in surprise.

Nanami Kento's creature is a genuine level two cursed spirit, which means that Isayama Kenmei is at least a level two cursed mage.

Shoko thought it was Gojo Satoru or Natsume Yuuki who saved Nanami Kento. But she didn't expect it to be Isayama Kenmei.

"Yes, I almost forgot!"

"Xianming beat Jie to a pulp, I always said he was super strong."

"Could we not bring that up, Wu?"

Being utterly defeated in basketball is truly a blow to one's pride.

Xia Youjie's tone was somewhat reluctant.

"No! I'm going to tell you."

Gojo Satoru doesn't miss any opportunity to strike at Xia Youjie. This guy is a real troublemaker; he won't stop until he's been put on the wall.

“Shoko, let me tell you something, Jae.”

When Gojo Satoru was courting death, he must have completely forgotten how he got that injury in the first place.

"You are such a person!"

Xia Youjie's forehead veins bulged again as he made a hand seal.

A pink, fleshy cursed spirit enveloped Gojo Satoru, who was about to speak freely, at an extremely fast speed.

Gojo Satoru had already overused the "No Limit Technique" today, so he was completely covered by Xia Youjie's cursed spirit and couldn't even speak.

It could only make "mmm" sounds. When the ugly cursed spirit pouted its lips to "kiss" it, Gojo Satoru's face turned pale, and he patted the cursed spirit's arm as if begging for mercy.

“Jay, I’m going to rub it.”

"Too late, Wu."

"You two scumbags! Don't forget this is the medical room!"

Shoko, unable to contain herself any longer, suddenly erupted into a loud roar that could be heard clearly even in the corridor outside.

"Hahaha"

Sensing the chaotic atmosphere inside, Kenmei Isayama, who was passing by, had a slight smile on his lips.

"They're a bunch of hopeless idiots. Maybe being classmates with them wouldn't be such a bad choice."

"I know, I know."

A "cursed spirit" that was almost touching his face flapped its wings as if urging him on. For once, Kenmei Isayama did not destroy it, but followed behind it.

"They're here, don't rush them."

The creature in front of him, which would definitely not sell as a toy, is a "cursed spirit" with an ugly-cute doll appearance. It is a product of the Night Moth's orthodox technique, the [Puppet Manipulation Technique] - a cursed skeleton.

Previously, Kenmei Isayama had shown Masamichi Yagami the tattoo on his arm, and as expected, Yagami-sensei knew something. He fell into deep thought for a long time, and the more he thought, the more serious his expression became.

Having quickly reached a conclusion, Masamichi Yagami asked Kenmei Isayama.

"Lord Isayama, have you seen the Sesshoseki?"

As expected of an expert, Moth Zhengdao hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.

Kenmei Isayama naturally knew that the tattoo on his arm was related to the "Kesshoseki" (Killing Stone), and the same was true of the place that made him uneasy.

The tattoo on his arm was activated when Kenmei Isayama killed the white-haired brat and fell into becoming a cursed spirit, absorbing the power of another Sessho-seki within him. After getting the extra tattoo, he felt an increasingly profound connection with some unknown entity.

Upon learning that Kenjiro Isayama had indeed come into contact with the top-grade cursed artifact "Sessho-seki," Masamichi Yagura instructed Kenjiro Isayama...

"Wait a moment, then he hurriedly went out. If he was ready, he would have the Cursed Corpse come to pick up Kenmei Isayama."

Chapter 96 The Peaceful Yearbook

(2.2k)

"Lord Isayama, you've arrived."

When Kenmei Isayama followed the cursed corpse created by Master Yagami to the eighth floor of the largest teaching building of the Jujutsu Academy, there was a place resembling a shrine.

Upon opening the door and entering the secret room, Yoruichi Yamamoto was immediately shocked.

All you can see are burning candles!

The altar, made of golden candlesticks, was filled with pale white candles, and the air was thick with the acrid smell of burning grease. The walls were painted with various lifelike, fierce-looking "deities"—whether Rakshasa or Asura—using bright paint. The whole room had an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Wait, what's going on here?"

Kenmei Isayama swallowed hard, feeling as if he were about to be judged.

Meanwhile, the teacher, Moth, looked very serious as he methodically lit each candle one by one.

Upon seeing Kenmei Isayama enter, Ms. Yagami stopped what she was doing and said to him.

“Let’s talk in the preparation room outside.”

In the preparation room next door, various ancient exorcism ritual implements were displayed around the room, such as vajras, soul-suppressing bells, and talismans. Those collected by experts in sorcery must have collected the real thing.

Kenmei Isayama noticed a transparent crystal box on the table, inside which was a tattered book.

It appears to be quite old; the words on the tattered cover have been eroded by time and are no longer visible. Moreover, what is called a book is actually a tattered booklet made up of fragments of yellowed paper stacked together.

The flowing magical energy indicated that the book in front of Kenmei Isayama was actually a book-shaped magical artifact, but why were there signs of fire, water damage, and even tearing?

Moth Masamichi carefully put on gloves and gently lifted the lid, as if afraid of damaging the book, being quite cautious.

"The book is called the Heian Annals. It is one of the few ancient books that has been passed down from the Heian period a thousand years ago. It is the last surviving copy at the Jujutsu Academy."

"The author is unknown. It records some events that occurred during the Heian period. However, most pages of the book are missing, which makes the interpretation of the book problematic."

"Some pages of this book are about ghosts and gods, which record the curse king from a thousand years ago, Ryoumen Sukuna."

As the Night Moth Master slowly turned the pages, a grotesque monster with four arms and two heads appeared on the pages in front of Isayama Kenmei, as if projected. Before he could even make a move, the ancient sorcerers were already torn to pieces.

However, the image was very blurry and disappeared in less than three seconds.

"The other part of the book records the strongest cursed spirit of that era, the Lord of Calamities, the Nine-Tailed Fox - Tamamo-no-Mae."

Under the moonlight, a terrifying cursed spirit with overwhelming evil power roared at the sky, exuding a terrifying aura. Its nine white tails, enough to blot out the sun, stirred up monstrous waves and caused the earth to shake with each swing.

The image quality was also very blurry, but this Kenmei Isayama looked familiar, similar to the image he saw when he held the Sesshoseki last time.

However, unlike what he saw, the nine-tailed fox recorded on the tattered page seemed to be healthier.

Kenmei Isayama didn't know how to describe it, but when he compared the Nine-Tails he saw with the Sesshoseki with the Nine-Tails on the fragment, the former was full of weakness while the latter was a tyrannical ruler.

What exactly happened to cause such a change in this top-tier, terrifying cursed spirit?

Kenmei Isayama was puzzled as to why he was being shown this, until Masamichi Yagami showed him a magnified portion of the image of Kurama that he had previously recorded with instruments.

"King Isayama, don't you think the tattoos on your body look somewhat like the pattern on the Nine-Tailed Fox's forehead?"

The pattern on the Nine-Tailed Fox's forehead is composed of twelve inverted hooks shaped like cherry blossom petals, intertwined and encircling each other to form a closed loop symbol.

Although when Kenmei Isayama showed him the tattoo earlier, the symbol was incomplete, with only a rough outline and a single tomoe, it still successfully awakened Masamichi Yagami's memory of the thing.

The study of this book

Archaeological excavations have been ongoing since the beginning of the last century, providing a true record of the two most powerful monsters that left behind terrifying legends thousands of years ago: one is a "human," and the other is a "cursed spirit."

When he was young, Masamichi Nobi saw a crest symbolizing the nine tails in an illustrated book, but he just listened to it as a story and let it go.

However, when Yemo Zhengdao's authority was upgraded to the point that he knew of the existence of this "Peaceful Yearbook," Yemo Zhengdao discovered that this monster, which seemed like a natural disaster, had actually existed a thousand years ago.

Anything involving existence from a thousand years ago must be handled with utmost care.

"This emblem is called the Immortal Emblem, and it is also the symbol of an ancient sorcerer organization called the 'Heavenly Way Clan' that was active a thousand years ago."

Masamichi Yagami told Kenmei Isayama about the information he found in another ancient text.

This group regards the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Lord of Natural Disasters, as a deity, and takes "killing as the catalyst and souls as the vessel to attain eternal life" as their doctrine. They carry out inhumane blood sacrifices everywhere, and everyone lives in fear.

With the disappearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Heavenly Dao Clan also vanished without a trace. They left behind a prophecy: "When the flower of blood and reincarnation blooms, and the path of Yin and Yang reverses, that will be the time for our Lord to return."

If the Nine-Tailed Fox, the deity of the Heavenly Path Sect, were to return, it would mean the resurrection of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the lord of calamities from a thousand years ago.

“King Isayama, you haven’t shown this tattoo to anyone other than those two bastards and me, have you?”

When he heard Masamichi Yagami ask this question, Kenmei Isayama nodded.

Night Moth Masakado immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The "Killing Stone" and various signs in ancient texts indicate that if the Nine-Tails were to truly revive, it would be the most terrifying calamity.

Given the personalities of those "old fogies" in the Spellcaster Association, upon learning that Kenmei Isayama might be connected to the "Flower of Blood and Reincarnation" mentioned in the language, and thus involved in the resurrection of the Nine-Tails, there's only one outcome: secret execution.

Some information cannot be accessed; if you do, someone will contact you. Night Moth is fine because some of the information he accessed was within the High School of Spellcasting. Even he would be subject to review if he used the Spellcaster Association's intranet to search for sensitive information.

At the same time, Masamichi Yagami suspects that Kenmei Isayama's sudden increase in strength may also be related to the "Sesshoseki" (Killing Stone), otherwise it would be impossible for him to have the power to easily exorcise a level-two cursed spirit in such a short period of time.

As far as he knew, the Sorcerers' Association had conducted many dangerous experiments in an attempt to use the "Killing Stone" for military purposes, but all of them failed.
