Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko frowned.

A doll is essentially a tool.

The goal is to achieve realism and intelligence.

But wouldn't turning humans into dolls be putting the cart before the horse?

"This hastily produced product was constructed using forbidden techniques such as Corpse Assembly and Curse Domination as its core, supplemented by talismans and magic arrays."

Hoshino Rin's tone was tinged with sadness and anger.

Domination is a third-order spell, an essential spell for puppets, used to prevent them from going out of control.

Haruhiko never expected that his skills would be used on humans.

As for magic arrays, they can be understood as computer systems that integrate talismans and spells to form a self-consistent and functional whole.

"She must have considerable power behind her."

Haruhiko exhaled and said.

The first and second orders are relatively common.

However, once it reaches the third stage, the number becomes extremely small.

Not to mention this systematic technology.

Moreover, wasting so much data only to obtain a second-tier Onmyoji is simply not worth it.

Unless Tanno Hazuki is an experiment used to practice techniques.

"Ah."

Hoshino Rin put the documents back in her bag and said, "The Oogami and Izumo Shrine will conduct the follow-up investigation."

"I'll go to Professor Nishimura's office first."

Haruhiko stopped in front of the spiral staircase and asked, "You really don't want this spirit tool?"

"It's useless to me."

Hoshino Rin's pretty face lit up with a mischievous grin. She tilted her head and said, "Hey, consider this a reward for you."

"What? You want to be my sugar daddy?"

Haruhiko immediately launched a counterattack.

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Rin froze, as if she had been petrified.

She subconsciously bit her glistening lips, as if she was genuinely considering it.

"Then you'd better work hard."

Haruhiko smiled and said in a teasing tone.

He turned and left without waiting for her to speak.

"..."

Hoshino Rin came to her senses and realized she had done something stupid.

She ran to her seat, buried her head in her arms, and even her ears turned a little red.

Fortunately, she arrived early, and there weren't many people in the classroom, thus avoiding an overly awkward situation.

"for you."

When Nishimura Koji saw Haruhiko, he took out a talisman from his desk drawer.

In a broad sense, talismans and charms fall under the category of spiritual tools.

It can be understood as a one-time use spiritual tool.

It is mainly used by Onmyoji.

By using talismans, one can quickly establish a connection with shikigami to form a coordinated combat system.

Without incantations, any command would require time to chant, which would undoubtedly be fatal.

Therefore, playing Onmyoji is quite expensive.

However, this does not mean that other professions cannot use it.

After all, talismans are very convenient.

"This talisman contains the second-tier spellcaster, Star Shield, and can be used three times."

Koji Nishimura explained, "The matter of Hazuki Tanno is very troublesome, so I chose a life-saving spirit tool for you."

"Thank you, teacher."

Haruhiko was quite satisfied.

Three uses of Star Shield can save 300 points of psionic energy.

Moreover, it is a relatively rare defensive spell.

This greatly improved his safety.

Back in the classroom, the first class hadn't even started yet.

Everyone is chatting.

The hot topic is the completed serial murder cases.

They didn't know it was Haruhiko and Hoshino Rin who did it, but that didn't stop them from being surprised.

This commission lasted for a week.

I had no clue what to do before, but it was suddenly solved last night.

This naturally sparked their discussion.

The same applies to the forums of DaYuSuo Software.

Shortly after, the bell rang.

A woman in uniform, probably in her thirties, entered the classroom.

Sato Chiyo.

Second-order priest.

The course she took was called "Psionics".

“The source of spiritual energy is not gods, but is generated by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but only gods can use it directly.”

Without further ado, Sato Chiyo began her lecture.

Purely theoretical lectures.

Haruhiko didn't seem to be under much pressure.

Psionics mainly discusses knowledge related to psionic energy.

In addition to the primordial energy of heaven and earth, there are also spiritual veins.

A mountain range where spiritual energy is highly concentrated.

It is generally controlled by three major institutions.

If there are wild spiritual veins, they will definitely cause bloodshed and chaos.

The advantage of simply meditating nearby is enough to increase the speed of meditation.

Haruhiko had heard that the University of Tokyo was built on a spiritual vein.

If he can reach the second-tier priesthood within a year, he will meet the admission requirements.

Otherwise, one cannot enroll in the Tokyo University Psionic Academy.

Class is over.

Haruhiko took out his phone and started looking for commissions.

Simply sitting in meditation is too slow in acquiring spiritual energy.

Leveling up by defeating monsters is undoubtedly better.

Moreover, it can also help you improve yourself.

"Looking at the commission?"

A warm, beautiful face, carrying the delicate fragrance of a young girl, moved closer.

Haruhiko only needed to roll his eyes to see Hoshino Rin, who was right in front of him.

"How about we go on a commission together?"

"Need not."

Haruhiko felt a warmth in his heart and smiled, "Do you really want to take care of me?"

"You think beautifully."

Hoshino Rin snorted and turned her head away, saying, "I'm just helping you out of friendship, so I don't have to attend your funeral someday."

"You can't always be the one helping me, can you?"
