The Sword Deity In Tokyo Chapter 265

Before this, Kimura Kazuki had asked Chiba s.h.i.+ori what she wanted as a present, and the answer she gave was a ring. Hence, Kimura Kazuki stayed at home for the preparations, and the ring was prepared a few days before Yuriko completed her obsession.

The ring's function was a norm during the era of recuperation of reiki. It was also known as a Reiki Suppressor. The inner side of the ring was engraved with a tiny Ki Constraining Formation, and the Ki represented reiki. The Ki Constraining Formation and Spiritual Gathering Formation were similar in the sense that they were developed through generations. Hence, the formations were far simpler than when they first started. Even an ordinary person would be able to draw the formations. As someone from the Enchanted Talisman Division of the Spiritual Academy, and an ordinary person who was unable to cultivate, he would need to wear a Reiki Suppressor at all times. That was why he knew how to draw a Ki Constraining Formation.

Moreover, if he did not know how to draw a Ki Constraining Formation, he would have to trouble the Formation Division for help at times when the Ki Constraining Formation was damaged by collision with objects.

Chiba s.h.i.+ori held the ring in her hand, and rubbed it lightly between her fingers. She noticed that although the ring was silver, its texture felt like jade. She muttered, “This ring… It's expensive, isn't it?” After she said this, she realized that even if the ring was not expensive, it would still be a priceless treasure as it allowed her to see specters at all times. Moreover, the ring might be able to also put some Enchanted Talismans to use according to Kazuki.

She knew about Enchanted Talismans as well. The Onmyojis depicted in novels and animations would tend to use Enchanted Talismans.

“Only jades can sustain the formations.” Kimura Kazuki did not add on any further. The ring itself was definitely expensive. In an era with no Spiritual Stones, only high quality jades could sustain formations for a long time. Originally, the ring was not silver, but he had asked someone to plate it in a coat of silver. This was to prevent people from recognizing what it was and stealing it.

However, Kimura Kazuki had already pa.s.sed the point of caring about monetary issues. At first when Harukana and her sisters asked him to accompany them during mealtimes to keep the other boys in school away, he would shamelessly ask them to give him more money.

Now that he thought about it, he could not help but blush in shame. However, if he was given another chance to go back in time, he would still do the same. He did not have a choice as he was sick of being poor. How could he care about his pride when he was struggling to even fill his stomach?

Chiba s.h.i.+ori nodded, and she kept her silence without mentioning anything about compensation! This was a gift from Kazuki. She gladly picked it up, and slipped it onto her left middle finger. After putting on the ring, she sneaked a peek at Kimura Kazuki, and was relieved as he did not seem surprised.

Kazuki is truly a straight guy. He doesn't even know the meaning of putting on a ring.

However, Chiba s.h.i.+ori quickly tossed the thought out of her head. This was because the very moment that the ring came in contact with her skin, she sensed the difference.

This had a major difference with the Vision Spell that Kimura Kazuki had casted on her. After casting the Vision Spell, her eyes felt cold, and not only could she see the specters, her eyesight was also restored.

The ring did not restore her eyesight… Her eyes also did not have the cooling sensation. Since there was no spector nearby, she had no way of checking if she could see them for sure, but Chiba s.h.i.+ori did not doubt Kimura Kazuki.

The difference that she felt after putting on the ring was a flow of warmth trickling from her palm to the rest of her body, with her left hand as the center of circulation. She could not help but to close her eyes, and relish the warmth. Then, the heat gradually travelled to her stomach, and faded instantly.

And the cycle repeated again after that!

At the sight of Chiba s.h.i.+ori's face, Kimura Kazuki laughed softly. “Reiki will circulate within your body. As time goes by, it will also change your const.i.tution, and increase your physical strength.” Improving her body const.i.tution was not for Chiba s.h.i.+ori to be able to cultivate, but rather it was for her body to become healthier.

Chiba s.h.i.+ori's thoughts were not wrong. The ring itself was not expensive, but the abilities that Kimura Kazuki had bestowed on this ring had made it a priceless treasure in this era, where there was no recuperation of reiki.

In the past, Kimura Kazuki could have actually used Reiki Suppressors to earn money. However, the Ki Constraining Formation that had gone through generations of simplification became way too easy to be used. Ordinary people or even a mere Onmyoji could trace and understand how to draw the formation as long as they obtained one.

The simplified Ki Constraining Formation was the product of the hard work of countless geniuses from the Enchanted Talisman Division of Spiritual Academy after generations of modification and research. He could not expose the Ki Constraining Formation to the world for money. Of course, the main reason was that he could not draw the complicated Ki Constraining Formation. He was from the Enchanted Talisman Division after all, and had specialized in research and development of enchanted talismans.

Noticing Chiba s.h.i.+ori's delight, Kimura Kazuki said seriously, “Keep this ring to yourself. Do not show it to any other Extraordinary Individuals to prevent unnecessary trouble. The formations in it could be easily imitated.”

“Alright.” Chiba s.h.i.+ori nodded solemnly after hearing this. Her heart was also filled with joy because the ring had become even more precious now that Kazuki put it this way. As she gave it some thought, Chiba s.h.i.+ori could not contain her curiosity any longer and asked, “Is this the first time you've given a present to a girl?” Her eyes shone in antic.i.p.ation as she finished her question.

“Yes.”

Chiba s.h.i.+ori was satisfied with the answer. She liked Kazuki for being so straightforward, and her heart leaped with joy.

Sorry, Harukana. It seems like I took the lead this time. Lost in her thoughts, Chiba s.h.i.+ori suddenly noticed that Kimura Kazuki took out a stack of yellow colored Enchanted Talismans from his bag.

The pa.s.sersby and service crew were stunned at the sight. Originally, they were just peeking at Chiba s.h.i.+ori due to her beauty, and she was a schoolgirl too, a perfect eye candy.

The mood quickly became sour when they saw Chiba s.h.i.+ori putting on the ring from Kimura Kazuki. After a few moments, he took out a stack of Enchanted Talismans. What are they up to? What kind of situation is this?

Kimura Kazuki could not care less about what others think. They were just ordinary people, so there was no way they could think of him as a cultivator.

Seeing how Chiba s.h.i.+ori was in a trance too, he laughed. He separated the stack of Enchanted Talismans into categories, and explained by pointing to each one. “This is a Spirit Stabilizer Talisman, use this first if you meet a wraith! This is a Spiritual Fire Talisman, which can easily kill normal wraiths. Next to it is the Ghost Expelling Talisman. It can also be used to dispel wraiths, but its main purpose is to bring pain to the wraith, and disperse its consciousness for a short time. This is a Lightning Attracting Talisman. It is powerful and causes great damage, so you need to be careful when you use this. Aside from the ability to severely inhibit wraiths, it can also kill a human easily.”

Listening to Kimura Kazuki's explanation of each talisman, Chiba s.h.i.+ori's eyes grew wider and wider. Gazing at the Enchanted Talismans on the table, she suddenly recalled his incredible power when he used the talismans in Akichi High School. It felt like a dream.
