Comprehensive Manga: Hope in Another World

Chapter 69: The Father of Quintuplets



The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became silent.

Miko looked at the old woman with curiosity, while Maruo looked at Shun silently.

Everyone could see how respectful the renowned Grandmother Mitsue was to the young man in front of her.

As a high-class person who managed the hospital, Maruo was part of a group of people. Although not as good as the chaebols, they were all wealthy and elite who had great hands and eyes and were very extraordinary.

However, in the mouths of these people, Grandmother Mitsue's reputation was very famous. She not only had enough power, but she also sold exercises that could significantly increase physical strength.

Therefore, after hearing about the kidnapping case of the rich people a few days ago, Maruo came to visit her. After being lucky enough to get the Breathing Technique and practicing it for a week, he was even more surprised.

Now, when he visited her again, he had great respect for this old woman who had extraordinary abilities.

But he never thought that this high school student in the Shuchi'in Academy uniform could make Grandmother Mitsue have such a humble posture.

Shuchi'in school uniform?!

What Grandmother Mitsue had just said suddenly popped into his mind:

'That man also goes to Shuchi'in. You should tell me your daughter's name. I'll help you ask next time. If they know each other, maybe because of friendship with classmates, that man…'

Is this a coincidence?

After all, there are several descendants of chaebol families at the top of Japan in Shuchi'in.

NO!

When Onmyoji became increasingly popular among the richest people in Tokyo, it was rare for this extraordinary Onmyoji to show respect to ordinary rich people's children.

No matter how Maruo looked at it, Grandmother Mitsue was very respectful and grateful to the young man in front of him as if he was seeing great success.

Therefore, there was only one truth!

'This must be the man mentioned by God Mother. Maybe he gave her the Breathing Technique to sell, and he is the real person behind the scenes!'

'I have to think of a way to ask him to help show the five daughters in my family!'

'If not, with their brains, they might not be able to practice it in this life.'

In the blink of an eye, Maruo made a decision!

For his daughters, he would give anything!

Shun didn't know about Maruo's psychological activities. After he saw the fluctuations of spiritual energy in Grandmother Mitsue, he nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Grandmother Mitsue, I'm here to visit you. I want to ask for your help about something."

"Takema-sama is joking. Your kindness will never be forgotten. If there is anything you want to do, just ask me."

Grandmother Mitsue quickly stepped forward and bowed. Such wise courtesy made Shun sigh, she was truly experienced.

"This is my friend Yotsuya Miko. She has the 'talent to see ghosts' but she has never received the Onmyoji spiritual energy training method. In the next few weeks, I will ask Grandmother Mitsue to help teach her."

Shun took Miko's hand and brought her to Grandmother Mitsue.

Seeing the nervous girl in front of her, Grandmother Mitsue couldn't help but look envious after looking at her closely.

"You were actually born with the ability to see ghosts. You can do this without going through Onmyoji family training. It's truly enviable."

Grandmother Mitsue had been in the world for half her life, but for the girl in front of her, it was the most ordinary state, which made people feel sad.

"There is no problem with this spiritual energy development. It's just a matter of following up on Onmyoji teachings. I..."

Successfully developing spiritual energy is only the foundation for becoming an Onmyoji. Next, it needs to train spells, talismans, and shikigami.

The spells uttered need to be memorized.

The techniques used need to be written down.

The launch process also needs to be recorded.

It can be said that learning spells is a process of accumulating knowledge, similar to learning magic in the Western fantasy world.

Therefore, when a famous family trains its descendants, it is best to let them accumulate knowledge first and lay a solid foundation for future spell learning.

However, for an ordinary onmyoji like Grandmother Mitsue who accidentally stepped into the world of Onmyoji, this is not something she can know.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the rest of the spell and talisman training."

While talking, Shun took out a pamphlet from his pocket, which clearly stated [Common-Style (Part 1)].

This is what he found when he destroyed the Twin Horn Syndicate branch and rescued those ordinary rich people.

"Even though it's just chapter 1, for now, it's enough, right?"

"Enough! Of course, it's enough!"

Grandmother Mitsue took the book excitedly, her fingers trembling continuously.

"With my qualifications, practicing Imperial-Style might not be enough. Especially me, although I'm not a famous student at the Onmyo Academy, I'm already qualified to learn Common-Style."

Imperial-Style was created by Tsuchimikado Yakou who gathered all the major Onmyoji families and various ancient books.

Imperial-Style is very vast and profound. Yakou compiled the spell system by combining the mysteries of Onmyodo, Shinto, Shugendo, Esotericism, and other systems with his own understanding.

This even includes forbidden spells like the Taizan Fukun Ritual which can control souls. It is estimated that only Yakou is capable of learning all the spells in the entire system of learnable parts.

In addition, Imperial-Style is too complex, powerful, and practical, and requires very high qualifications from its practitioners. If taught as the main course, there might be very few students in the entire Onmyo Academy who are capable of mastering it. To become an onmyoji, there are many dangerous forbidden techniques in Imperial-Style, and there will be no lecturers who will teach them in onmyoji.

As for Common-Style, it was originally a spell system created after removing the overly complex and powerful parts of Imperial-Style and finally popularizing and universalizing it. Common-Style is very practical, so it lowers the requirements for practitioners, allowing more juniors to successfully learn it and eventually become qualified Onmyoji.

Therefore, only Common-Style is taught at the Onmyo Academy, not Imperial-Style. If you want to learn Imperial-Style, you have to use other means, or you have to enter the Onmyoji Agency, show sufficient qualifications and abilities, and then register with the superiors to get Imperial-Style and learn it.

Of course, this is just the rhetoric of Onmyoji today.

The real main reason might be because Yakou's hand was too big at that time, which almost triggered a chain reaction of global spiritual disaster. The chaebols were afraid that another Yakou would appear, so they extensively deleted Imperial-Style and formed the Common-Style taught by the mainstream today.

As for the second reason, it is also related to the major Onmyoji families and the Onmyo Academy wanting to ensure their status.

The summary version and the full version, you can think of both with your fingers. If you finish Onmyo Academy education and want to continue learning Onmyoji, then there are only two options left: join the Onmyoji Agency or join other famous Onmyoji families.

However, this blockade is meaningless to Shun, it is nothing more than a means to pass time.

At worst, find a qualified Onmyoji as a Type II Onmyoji from the Twin Horn Syndicate and put in a few more Tsukuyomi and imprison him. The other party will definitely tell him Imperial-Style sincerely.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I have something else to do, so no need to see me off."

Shun patted Miko's hand, then turned and left.

Maruo, who had been silent and unseen for a long time, saw the right opportunity and stepped forward to respectfully ask for information about Shun.

❀❀❀

Evening.

After returning to his apartment, Shun recalled the appearance of the man at the store and made some assumptions in his heart.

'He should be Nakano Maruo, the father of Itsuki and Nino.'

'As a parent, he is planning long-term for his children. I expect him to try to contact me soon.'

'If Itsuki and Nino know that their teacher is me, it will be an interesting sight. It's a pity that these five silly girls don't know anything.'

Shun was thinking while climbing the stairs. When he returned to the fourth floor and heard the sound of a boring soap opera coming from Mafuyu's room, he could only sigh.

Mafuyu was really a useless girl.

The key is that Mafuyu thought she hadn't been found and tried her best to hide it, making Shun's house not even able to enter.

"When I come back from time travel, I will find a way to expose her disguise first, otherwise I will have no chance to move!"

Thinking about this, Shun opened the door and returned to his small house. After tidying up, he started his retreat before traveling.

For two consecutive days, he was completely immersed in chakra training and Sun Breathing training.

Finally, the wheel in the field of vision slowly rotated, and as the cooling ended, the wheel expanded with eternal brilliance.

"Danmachi... Orario... Falna..."

Shun looked at the world on the panel and thought hard.

"This system can quickly improve physical strength. In this way, I can first upgrade the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and add points to Izanagi. Having two resurrection coins in hand can make people feel comfortable when traveling around the world or reality."

"As for the remaining roulette points... let's keep them for now. Maybe next time I travel, I can try the deluxe version of the ID card. What benefits does it have for me?"
