Yin Yang School, the principal's room.
It was an office on the top floor of the school building.
Luo Zhen and Natsume took the elevator up from the bottom floor, stepped into the corridor, and headed towards the principal's office.
Walking in such a corridor, not only Natsume, but also Luo Zhen were looking around, observing the strange environment here.
Although I haven't gone to the classroom yet, I can't be sure what the rest of the place looks like, but at least the interior decoration on the top floor of this private school is very simple, with only exhibits such as magic items or magic props surrounding it. There are armors and helmets hanging on the wall, blackened tin staffs, gold-threaded robes, Japanese swords with seals, etc. It feels like a museum.
Not only were there no stains on the glass cabinets displaying these items, there was also no dust on the floor. The foliage plants placed around them were all well taken care of and were very clean.
However, the person who takes care of these things should not be the staff of Onmyojuku, but the shikigami.
Since the guard guarding the gate is a high-level man-made mecha-style shikigami, it is very likely that the daily affairs in the school will be handled by shikigami. This will not only save a lot of hiring fees, but also highlight the Yin-Yang School. It's special, has all the benefits and no harm, and can't be used.
Of course, this is a situation that only occurs in Onmyojuku.
Except for Onmyoji, which is approved by the Onmyo Agency and can freely use spells, if you don't have professional qualifications and manipulate shikigami to do things without professional qualifications, you will be arrested immediately, right
"I just don't know who owns the curse that is the source of Shikigami's power."
It’s not all provided by the school principal, right
In this case, the power of the spell will be exhausted quickly, and it will be impossible to continue to hold on.
Therefore, the ones who provide the shikigami with magical power are probably the teachers in the school, or simply the students. As long as this work is included in the duty, the students will provide the shikigami with the magical power for free. It is simply the best thing. But this is a great way to save money.
Luo Zhen was thinking about such things, and took Natsume, who was a little nervous, to an office at the end of the corridor.
On the door of the office, the words "Primary School Principal's Office" were written on a tag that could be seen clearly at a glance, telling Luo Zhen and Natsume that their destination had arrived.
"Qiuguan?"
Natsume looked at Luo Zhen, as if asking Luo Zhen something.
In response, Luo Zhen nodded.
"Knock on the door."
Luo Zhen gave very brief instructions.
"Um."
Natsume immediately nodded, and as if mustering up courage, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Tsuchimikado Akikan and Tsuchimikado Natsume are here at the request of the school principal."
Natsume made this report seriously, letting his voice flow into the room.
This made a funny sound come from the room.
"Please come in."
Such a voice reached the ears of Luo Zhen and Natsume.
Leaving aside Natsume, Luo Zhen can tell that the voice carries a sense of time and vicissitudes.
"excuse me."
Natsume didn't know if he heard it, but he just opened the door and let the scene inside the door unfold before their eyes.
The office that appeared in front of me was completely different from the corridor outside.
It's like a cafe from the Taisho era, with an elegant and retro room.
The walls are a faded cream color.
The floor was covered with a rouge-colored velvet rug.
Tinplate coat rack with colorful broken glass partitions.
Behind the partition is a reception area with cat-leg chairs and a beige coffee table.
Both sides of the wall are full of bookshelves, with an astonishing number of books, lined up close to each other. Judging from the covers, there are not only foreign books, but also Japanese and ancient documents, and even scrolls.
In such a room, in front of the frosted glass window, there is a huge mahogany desk.
Behind the desk, a petite figure sat there, with a dignified posture, and an indistinct smile on his wrinkled face, letting his elegant temperament permeate the air.
"Welcome to Yin Yang School, the children of the clan and branch families."
The petite figure who said this is an old woman. Her shoulder-length hair is half white. She is old but has an extraordinary bearing. She is wearing a red bean-colored kimono. There is mystery in her eyes when she looks here. of brilliance.
"I am the principal of Onmyojuku, Miyo Kurahashi."
The old woman introduced herself in a dignified tone.
Yes.
Miyo Kurahashi.
The old woman in front of her was clearly a member of the Cangqiao family.
She is the biological mother of Genji Kurahashi, the former head of the Kurahashi family, and the current director of the Onmyojuku. She has been in charge of the Onmyojuku for nearly half a century. She is a well-known in the magic world and is very popular among Onmyoji. A highly respected person.
Of course, since he is the former head of the Kurahashi family, it is impossible for the other party not to know Luo Zhen and Natsume.
After all, the Kurahashi family is a branch of the Tsuchimikado family. From a formal point of view, Kurahashi Miyo naturally has to call Luo Zhen, the next head of the Tsuchimikado family, as the clan. It is almost impossible not to know him. .
Of course Luo Zhen and Natsume also knew the old woman in front of them.
"Hello, school principal, I am Tsuchimikado Natsume."
Natsume respectfully saluted Miyo Kurahashi.
"I am Tsuchimikado Akikan."
Luo Zhen also showed symbolic courtesy and bowed his head to Miyo Kurahashi.
In response, Miyo Kurahashi just stared at the two of them, narrowing her eyes as if she felt dazzled.
"I see."
Miyo Kurahashi muttered as if talking to herself.
"They are indeed very beautiful stars. They will surely shine brightly in the future, right?"
Miyo Kurahashi said this.
"Stars?"
Natsume was slightly surprised.
Luo Zhen also seemed to have thought of something and spoke with interest.
"Is this the legendary "Star Chant"?"
"Star Chant".
That is the ability to predict the future through stargazing.
Although this ability also belongs to the category of spells, it is a natural aptitude. In ancient times, it was generally only possessed by witches and priests. In modern times, it has almost disappeared, and only a very few people have such abilities. Qualification can be said to be one of the most precious abilities in the world of magic.
In the past, Luo Zhen had heard of this ability and heard Tsuchimikado Taishun mention it in this way.
"The former head of the Kurahashi family and the current head of Onmyojuku used to be a miko and possessed the ability of ."
Tsuchimikado Taishun mentioned this once, but Luo Zhen wrote it down.
Now, Luo Zhen finally sees himself showing this ability.
However... ...
"This shouldn't be too rare for you, right? Qiuguan-san?"
Miyo Kurahashi looked at Luo Zhen, with an optimistic smile, and said these words.
"The current head of the Tsuchimikado family, your father, is also an Onmyoji with the ability of "Star Chant". Don't you know?"
Miyo Kurahashi said something that shocked Luo Zhen and even Natsume.
