It seemed like I had just told Nanjo-san that I wanted to learn some thunder magic, and in the blink of an eye, I received a thunder magic that was perfectly compatible with me from a netizen.

Moreover, this skill is followed by the word "Qi He", and combined with the "a swordsman in the Heian period" in the introduction, it is almost said that this thunder method was also created by the swordsman who created the Qi He technique.

This damn luck is just too outrageous.

Uesugi Che felt a little dizzy. He took a while to calm down before typing slowly.

[Tsukisa-chan]: Bro...won't you get spanked by your family if you teach me this?

"puff--"

Nanjo Aimi sprayed a mouthful of coffee onto the computer screen.

It's only been a few minutes, and he has already learned this obscure and rare Five Thunder Method?

You should know that this Five Thunder Method is fundamentally different from other ordinary Yin-Yang techniques. Rather than being a Yin-Yang technique, it is more like "a breathing method that can use spiritual power to emit thunder."

[Go to hell with work]: The grass on the graves of my family members who are in charge of me is three feet high.

Oh my god, how could I have stepped on such a landmine so accurately?

Uesugi Tetsu quickly apologized.

【Tsukisa-chan】: Sorry...

[Go to hell with work]: There’s no point in apologizing. It’s all good to die. Just open the champagne.

[Work to Death]: Okay, take your time learning. We'll talk later. I'm going to work now.

After sending an emoticon to thank his adoptive father, Uesugi Tetsu stood up impatiently, wanting to try out how to use the Five Thunder Method: Qi He.

"call--"

Subconsciously, Uesugi Che practiced his breathing technique and exhaled as usual, but what came out was a mouthful of crackling and flashing arcs of electricity.

There was a sudden flash of lightning in the air, which was so uncomfortable and interesting that it was comparable to the sparks of a few cigarettes that were about to burn out.

That’s right, it’s the smallest fireworks that you often see in fireworks displays in anime, the kind that JKs hold in their hands and watch quietly as they burn out.

"Fuck, my mouth is almost numb from the electric shock."

Uesugi Che rubbed his lips, where the pain had disappeared, and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth.

It's really powerful... Let's lose a thousand of our own first and then talk about whether to kill the enemy, right?

Temporarily slowing down his breathing, Uesugi Che stood there and felt it for a while, then he found the key point of combining the Five Thunder Technique and the breathing technique.

He stretched out his hand and practiced the newly learned Five Thunder Technique in rhythm with his breathing.

Crackling!

Immediately, a dazzling electric current shot out from Uesugi Che's fingertips!

Its power is comparable to the firecrackers sold in convenience stores.

If it is placed at the very beginning, it might be able to cause considerable damage to scattered wandering souls or even half-star demons, and it should be enough to use electric foxes, dogs, and raccoons.

But now...

"It seems that this thing is just like the Qi He Jutsu. It is a skill that requires more practice and power in the later stages."

This is not a problem.

Because this Five Thunder Method: Qi He is in line with the breathing rhythm of the breathing method, as long as Uesugi Tetsu uses it while practicing the breathing method, he does not need to spend time practicing it specifically.

It was just that every time he breathed, he would exhale a lot of static electricity, which made his mouth bitter.

Uesugi Che thought about the scene and found it quite curious.

But in order to practice more efficiently, can't he overcome this small problem?

Uesugi Tetsu thought, exhaling a mouthful of static as if nothing had happened.

Crackling, but proficiency +1.

"——Uesugi-kun! Are you going to die? Why are you spitting out a mouthful of electricity?!"

Lilizi's auspicious words came from afar.

In less than two seconds, Lilizi arrived along with the whistling wind. She looked at Uesugi Che in amazement: "How did you do that just now?!"

Uesugi Che stared at her and suddenly let out another breath.

Caught off guard, Lilizi's face collided with the static electricity.

Crack!

Lilizi's black hair exploded, with strands standing up in all directions like a bursting ball of yarn, just like a cat in Spinosaurus form.

Uesugi Tetsu turned his head and tried to hold back his laughter.

In silence, Lilizi, with a numb face, took out her mobile phone, turned on the selfie mode and saw her current appearance.

“Uesugi Tetsu——!”

……

After a fight, Ririko tied her hair, which had returned to normal, into a ponytail.

She put her hands on her hips and said, "If you spit static electricity at me again, I'll make you bald!"

Uesugi Che thought of her appearance just now and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Smile again!"

Lilizi kicked him on the butt, but the force was barely enough to tickle Uesugi Tetsu.

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble." Uesugi Tetsu took two steps back and waved his hand, "I'm going to have dinner with Nanjo-san and a monk later."

"Have a meal?"

Lilizi blinked: "What store?"

Uesugi Tetsu scratched his head and said doubtfully, "A self-service barbecue restaurant."

"eat!"

Lilizi immediately shouted, "Take advantage of the Special Affairs Office and don't miss out on a barbecue!"

So the two of them walked out of the school together and headed towards the barbecue restaurant they were destined for.

With the Queen of Rolls, Lilizi, by his side, Uesugi Tetsu naturally couldn't relax.

So along the way, Uesugi Che was spewing static electricity from his mouth, and at the same time he felt countless curious and envious gazes from the people around him.

After being stared at like an alien all the way, Uesugi Tetsu nudged Ririkko next to him and asked,

"Practicing after eating?"

Lilizi chuckled and said, "No need to practice, no need to practice. I was satisfied just watching it."

"That's pretty much it..."

Uesugi Tetsu walked into the store and went to table number 36 located deep inside the barbecue restaurant.

After a while, he and Lilizi stopped and looked at each other, and they saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Uesugi Tetsu remembered that Nanjo Aimi said that the first person to arrive at the store was Master Keikaku of Honganji Temple.

Lilizi also remembered that the first person to arrive should be a monk.

In front of table number 36, a bald young man was grilling meat with his legs crossed. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt that was stretched extremely tight by his muscles.

The word "trend" was written in large letters on the short-sleeved shirt, and the back was covered with meaningless graffiti and spray paint.

He had a black metal skull necklace around his neck, cross earrings on both sides of his earlobes, and a baseball cap worn backwards on his head. From the gaps in the cap, one could vaguely tell that the young man was bald.

——Except for the bald head, he doesn’t look like a monk at all!

He looks like a total non-mainstream bad boy!

Uesugi Tetsu pulled out his phone and checked with Nanjo Aimi before cautiously approaching and asking tentatively, "Excuse me, is this Master Huijue?"

"Well?!"

Huijue, who was eating barbecue with big mouthfuls, immediately looked up, but ended up choking. He had to drink a lot of bubbly cola before he could catch his breath.

"Ahem... You must be Uesugi-kun, the seed from Arakawa District. Come on, come on, please take a seat."

Huijue immediately picked up the black leather jacket inlaid with artificial diamonds that he had thrown across the street, grinned at him with his teeth still stuffed with flesh.

Uesugi Che sat down and looked at Huijue's equipment, not knowing where to start.

"And the one at the back whose mind is as bright as the sun must be Miss Tokugawa. Please take a seat as well."

After Lilizi sat down, Huijue used his serving chopsticks to help the two of them with the nearly cooked barbecue. He then asked with a smile, "What do you think of my outfit? Is it trendy and cool, with a particularly rock-and-roll vibe?"

Whatever the two men were about to say was blocked by the mudslide.

Uesugi Tetsu and Ririko: "..."

Huijue smiled as he ate his meat and said, "I met two young men on motorcycles on the side of the road a while ago. They both said that my clothes were too old-fashioned and couldn't keep up with the development of the new era."

"I thought it had been a while since I'd been down the mountain, and it was time to learn to accept new things, so I asked them to take me for a walk and dress me up."

Huijue shook the skull necklace around his neck and said, "This is their farewell gift to me. Not bad, isn't it?"

——It turned out that I met a spirited young man, the will-o’-the-wisp boy.

——The two of them felt ashamed that such a great Buddhist master had been harmed in this way.

Uesugi Tetsu: "Master, as long as you like it."

Lilizi: "Master, if you go out for a walk in the early morning dressed like this, everyone on the street will definitely say you are handsome."

"Is that so? Haha, thank you both so much."

Huijue smiled and nodded, then saw Nanjo Aimi walking towards him wearing a mask not far away.

"Ms. Nanjo, this way!"

Nanjo Aimi, who had cast a cognitive interference Yin-Yang technique on herself, was slightly startled, then frowned: "Huijue, what are you wearing? Are you going racing tonight?"

So Huijue patiently explained it again.

Nanjo Aishi sat down, chewing the barbecue and said calmly: "If the old abbot saw you like this, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he would have a brain hemorrhage."

"He's already old, so it's naturally difficult for him to accept new trends." Huijue lowered his eyes, staring at the still bubbling Coke, and said, "That's why we, the younger generation, need to do something."

"--So, Ms. Nanjo, what do you think of my outfit? Is it handsome?"

Nanjo Aimi: "To be honest, it's ugly."

Huijue's smile froze, and he immediately revealed a puzzled expression: "But both Uesugi-kun and Miss Tokugawa said..."

Nanjo Aimi glanced at the two people across from her who were stuffing their mouths with barbecue. "They're just lying to you, or being sarcastic and you just don't understand."

"Yin and Yang?"

Huijue scratched his head in confusion and asked, "What is this?"

"You can spend more time on the 2ch forum or Twitter. After a dozen days or so, you'll probably be able to connect with society."

Nanjo Aimi pointed out a path of no return for him.

Huijue nodded seriously, and operated his latest model of Apple phone a little clumsily, and quickly downloaded the two software.

"Let's put this little thing aside for now." Nanjo Aimi pointed at Uesugi Tetsu. "Uesugi-kun has a one-and-a-half-star Kaidan Shikigami who wants to go the divine path. Do you have any space?"

"no problem."

Huijue, who was busy registering an account, looked up and said, "I haven't been able to convince the two main temples yet, but there is a branch temple in Yokohama."

Huijue grinned at Uesugi Che and said, "I'll take Uesugi-kun with me. The sooner rather than later, the better. Let's go after we finish eating."

Uesugi Tetsu hesitated and said, "I can do that...but don't you two have something important to discuss offline?"

"talk?"

Huijue smiled and asked, "Hasn't this been discussed a long time ago?"

Uesugi Che blinked, quickly recalled everything that had just happened, and then understood.

It turned out that the so-called "important matter" had been negotiated as early as the first time Nanjo Aimi met Huijue.

It seems that not only are there differences of opinion between the Special Affairs Bureau and the Onmyoji, but even within Buddhist institutions like Honganji, there are serious differences on how to deal with the new era.

"Sorry, I have to answer the phone."
