Tokyo Paranormal, the beginning reminds me of the game plot

Ye Shen Taiyi glanced at the spiritual materials in front of him.

As the host of this league, Onmyoji League cannot really talk about fairness and justice.

As early as when they came out of the Fantasy Flower Tree World, the list of spiritual materials for this year's potion-making preliminary competition had actually been distributed to Ye Shen Taiyi and the other two who were preparing to participate in this event.

The contestants from the other six teams are actually well aware of this small benefit.

After all, the superpower organization behind them has done similar things in the past.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Yagami Taichi raised his hands and first formed a dream seal to suppress all his emotions.

Then, he took out all the spiritual materials involved in the high-level potion he was going to make.

Taichi Yagami's movements were not very fast, but they were very stable.

But this is normal. Shortly after school started, he used his status as a member of the school team to buy a large amount of spiritual materials from the exchange office to increase his proficiency in potion making.

And by the end of September, he successfully upgraded this skill to the perfect level.

Combined with life and spiritual attributes reaching 3000+.

As long as he doesn't make mistakes intentionally, Ye Shen Taiyi's success rate in refining medicines can reach 99.9%!

that's the truth.

The slicing and preparation of various spiritual materials took a total of 3 minutes.

The subsequent potion making took 49 minutes.

With a "bang", the originally turbid liquid in the crucible instantly turned blue as if by magic.

Yagami Taichi raised his hand and said, "My Type III Life Enhancement Potion is ready."

Katagiri Kase was originally paying attention to the three players from his own country and had already stood in front of the opponent.

As for the other six judges, who came from different countries, they walked a little slower.

These seven people are undoubtedly masters in the field of potion making.

With just a quick glance, he was able to basically determine the quality of Yagami Taichi's medicine.

Then they nodded to each other, and Katagiri Kase announced: "Congratulations, contestant Yagami Taichi, for becoming the second qualifier in the potion making preliminaries."

"???"

After these words were spoken, Yagami Taichi couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise.

Perfect-level skills have already reached the limit of human techniques. It can be said that there is no room or margin for omission in related operations.

Add to that the cheating from the Onmyoji Ryo, no matter how you think about it, I should be the first one to pass the preliminary round.

Can……

As if he saw the confusion of the person in front of him, Katagiri Kase raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder.

"You're the second one to pass the preliminary round, which is already very good. After all, the first one..." As she spoke, she pointed at the girl standing in front of another operating table, "but she cheated."

Following the other person's gaze, Yagami Taichi's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Previously, because he was immersed in potion-making, he almost cut off all sense of foreign things.

It was not until this moment that he realized that there was a female knight who had been following the saint.

I didn't know when I put on a set of golden armor.

On its left shoulder, there is a water bottle like an ancient pottery barrel placed on it using some kind of connecting device.

260 Star Armor and the Zodiac

It is similar to the Four Sacred Mountains system and the Ten Sacred Kings system that were constructed by Onmyojis thousands of years ago after they foresaw the future decline of spiritual veins.

The other seven countries that still have mysteries left also have their own preparations.

Among them, the defense mechanism of the Holy See is called the "Zodiac".

It is a special defense system built based on the star armors left behind by the twelve star warriors who initially cultivated to the eighth sense of Alaya-vijnana.

Star Armor is the Star Warrior's natal armor, which is somewhat similar to the Soul Armor of the Sakura Empire. It needs to be constructed through a ritual similar to the Soul Refining ritual.

When it was first condensed, the Star Armor's ability to protect star warriors was not very strong due to its small coverage area.

However, with the improvement of the star armor's own level and the sacred power cultivated by the star warriors, the armor that originally could only cover a small area such as the heart, shoulders, arms, legs, feet, and hips has gradually evolved into a full-coverage armor.

Over the long years, researchers from the Vatican divided the grades of star armor into bronze, silver, and gold according to the area covered by the star armor.

Among them, bronze corresponds to the initial release of soul armament, silver corresponds to Bankai, and gold is equivalent to the collapse of the soul weapon.

However, similar to the situation in the Sakura Empire, the difficulty for a star warrior to possess a set of golden armor is not much easier than cultivating the divine power to the legendary ninth sense.

Since Europe began recording history, the Golden Star Armor has only appeared about fifteen times.

Taking into account the damage caused to the golden star armor by the holy wars throughout the ages, what finally remained were the twelve golden star armors corresponding to the twelve astronomical zodiac signs.

Under normal circumstances, even a star warrior who has awakened the same type of star soul cannot inherit the star armor of his predecessor.

But in the holy war nearly a thousand years ago, the saint of the time, 'Ester Edes', sacrificed herself and received the blessing of the goddess of the sky.

Afterwards, any star armor that reaches the gold level can be inherited by later generations.

Even, there is no need to awaken the corresponding star soul!

"...So that's what happened."

After listening to Sayuri Tsuchimikado's scientific explanation, Taichi Yagami showed an expression of enlightenment.

According to the girl, the female knight named Freya is the star warrior who inherited the Aquarius Gold Star Armor.

Although the Aquarius Star Armor is also a combat weapon, its original condenser was a master of alchemy in ancient Europe. When the star armor was advanced to the gold level, it gained the special effect of accelerating the refining of potions.

"It's not unfair at all that I lost to her."

Yagami Taichi muttered softly.

Little did she know that Sayuri Tsuchimikado, who was standing by, couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this.

As the inheritor of the 'Nine Phantom Gods' technique, the girl's abilities in all aspects are considered top-notch among her peers.

In addition to the Onmyoji's early leak of the test questions, she thought that even if she couldn't beat the Aquarius, getting second place would be easy.

But in fact, the person who passed the potion-making preliminary competition right after Freya was her classmate.

Moreover, the opponent did not use any magic to enhance his power, but relied entirely on a pair of steady hands, and then defeated all the "cheaters" including himself.

It was only after being struck countless times by the talent displayed by Taichi Yagami in the past year and a half that Sayuri Tsuchimikado was able to barely keep her composure.

Look at the fourth and fifth place next door. At this moment, they all look dazed.

Obviously devastated.

Those who dare to sign up for potion-making naturally have full confidence in the techniques they have mastered.

However, after five people passed the test in a row within a quarter of an hour, half an hour passed before Rena Yae finally got the qualification to advance with her bottle of high-level potion of slightly lower quality.

A girl with shoulder-length hair skipped in front of Taichi Arimagami. Because there were outsiders present, she did not make any intimate gestures.

He just chuckled twice and said, "My junior, you didn't expect that I would make it to the finals."

"Congratulations." Yagami Taichi smiled back.

"Congratulations, senior." Sayuri Tsuchimikado next to her added.

Below the stage, Kyoko Tsuchimikado, who was watching the competition, breathed a sigh of relief. She had dared to give her cousin the green light despite the pressure from the dormitory because she saw that the quality of the Onmyoji Academy's team members was indeed very good.

As it turned out, her decision was not wrong.

Although it was only the preliminary round, the little princess of their own family and the future son-in-law of the Ryugu family had indeed demonstrated the qualities to dominate an era.

"Among the eight people in the finals, are there three students from Sakura Empire?"

Max held the big pipe that he always carried with him, and his eyes narrowed slightly behind his sunglasses.

"That's something I didn't expect."

Although they were not as good as the Sakura Empire and their ranking was not high, two people from the White Eagles also passed the assessment.

To be honest, there is a chance to compete for the top three.

The premise is that the final test can no longer be the quick refining of potions.

Thinking of this, Max blew out a smoke ring from his mouth.

——I will meet with Prince Marianna and Patriarch Lisa later. I think they don’t want to see the Holy See and Sakura Empire take the top three places.

The royal wizards, due to their inheritance, are good at preparing potions, and the Empire's Flame of Death is a natural plug-in for potion-making.

Because of this, two members of the school teams from these two countries each entered the finals.

As for Iron Blood and Northern Alliance...

All I can say is that for the time being, there is no discernible change compared to previous sessions.

When they returned to the Sakura Empire camp, Taichi Yagami, Sayuri Tsuchimikado, and Rena Yae received a lot of praise from people.

Nura and Ma patted the heads of several people in turn, and said in a gentle tone: "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the preliminary round, but you can't relax yet. In the final, if the prediction is correct, the content of the competition will be temporarily changed."

As the vice-president, he had led the team to participate in several joint examinations, so he was naturally familiar with the ins and outs of it.

The three people who were reminded also looked serious at this time.

"Of course, you are already very good. You know, in the last session, we didn't even pass the preliminary rounds in both the potions and magical instruments competitions."

Tsuchimikado Haruka spoke in comfort.

She was under a lot of pressure, but she was unwilling to pass it on to others.

At this time, Sayuri Tsuchimikado suddenly raised her right hand, clenched her five fingers, and spoke with an extremely firm expression on her face: "Don't worry, I will help you win the championship."

If the girl said this at any other time, it would only make her appear too arrogant.

But at this moment, hearing her words, everyone smiled.

"Well, come on!"

261 Rivals in the Joint Entrance Examination and the λ-DRIVER System

It was already eleven o'clock in the morning when the preliminary round of potion making ended.

After lunch and a break until one o'clock, everyone gathered in the arena again.

However, unlike the slightly empty auditorium in the morning, perhaps because there were no classes, many first and second grade students came and chose to watch.

Among the seven school teams, a total of 42 people signed up for the magic battle.

This afternoon, 21 elimination matches will be held.

In order to ensure sufficient time, the Onmyoji Ryo sent out several Onmyojis who were skilled in setting up barriers to divide the arena into four areas.

Another temporary draw was conducted, dividing the 42 contestants into four groups: abcd.

Based on the numbers obtained from the draw, the daily schedule for the next few days' competitions was quickly divided out.

Students who are selected into the school team are not too weak.

Everyone had already understood this when the first round of fighting began.

The students standing on the arena, according to the classification of Onmyoji, have magic power, sacred power, death energy, spiritual power, divine power, etc. in their bodies, and the weakest one will not be lower than the normal level.

Many people, relying on some special explosive states, can compete with the Ming level in a short period of time.

And among this group of gifted people, another group of people quietly stood out.

The first one is Freya, an Aquarius star warrior who is far superior to Yagami Taichi in terms of potion refining speed.

The divine power in her body did not reach the minimum requirement to fully activate the Aquarius Star Armor - the seventh sense.

But even so, with his extreme sixth sense and the inherited techniques from his ancestors in the Star Armor.

He defeated his opponent easily without even wearing the Star Armor.

Compared to her, Lloyd, another star warrior who awakened the star armor entirely by his own strength, did not perform as well.

His Unicorn Star Armor, according to Nura and Ma's appraisal, should still be at the bronze level.
