Upon hearing that Touma Kazusa had said so, Kanzaki Teru nodded. At that moment, he also noticed that Kasumigaoka Utaha had gone out at some point and had not come to 'argue' with him as usual.
"If you have any problems that you can't solve, just come to me. It's nothing more than the Yin-Yang Dao."
Kanzaki Teru wasn't just referring to the Onmyo Hall, the Onmyo Academy, or any individual; he was referring to the entire Onmyoji community.
The mere Yin-Yang Dao—
What might sound like arrogant words to others—even gods and demons wouldn't dare to so casually deny the great human heritage—was, in Kanzaki Teru's eyes, not boasting, but the truth.
If he wanted to, eradicating Yin-Yang Taoism would be far simpler than slaughtering the entire Egyptian pantheon.
"If I really encounter a problem that I can't solve, I will."
Touma Kazusa smiled knowingly.
Kanzaki Teru's words filled her heart with immense sweetness, and she didn't care at all that he was just saying it casually.
Then, Touma Kazusa left the classroom.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Antique Shop
Lunch break—
On the rooftop of the third-grade school building, Kanzaki Teru lazily basked in the sun, stretching and looking down from above, he could see the most beautiful view of the entire Toyonosaki Private School.
It must be said that this is a great viewpoint.
"It seems that Kazusa has made her choice."
As Kanzaki Teru was overlooking the beautiful scenery of Toyonosaki Private School, two familiar figures, one in front and one behind, one in white and one in black, suddenly came into view.
Behind her, in black, was Touma Kazusa. In front of her stood a woman of noble elegance, beautiful in appearance. She wore a white wide-brimmed hat and a white European-style dress, and always carried a fan. Kanzaki Teru recognized her; she was Subaru Miheishima, one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals of the Yin-Yang Alliance, the strongest woman among them.
"That's fine. Choosing Yin Yang Lian is much better than Yin Yang Shu in some aspects."
Because of Kanzaki Teru's suggestion, the possibility of Touma Kazusa choosing the Onmyo-cho is extremely slim. Her choice will only be decided between the Onmyo-ren and the Onmyo-juku. He quite agrees with her current choice of the Onmyo-ren.
If you want to systematically enter the path of Yin and Yang, the Yin-Yang Academy is the best choice. After all, the Yin-Yang Academy is the enlightenment for those who are seeded in the path of Yin and Yang, and it is also a truly complete educational organization for Yin-Yang masters.
Although the Yin-Yang Academy is independent, the disputes between it and the Yin-Yang Hall are too complicated, and one could easily be drawn into an indescribable conspiracy.
Since Touma Kazusa wants to enter the path of Yin and Yang and focus on cultivation, she naturally needs to stay away from this source of trouble.
However, the internal harmony of the Yin-Yang Alliance is much better. Almost all enemies and threats come from filth, the filth of [Huaye]. Moreover, with the physical strength that Touma Kazusa has gained after the [Intermediate Physique Modification], the Yin-Yang Alliance's cursed armor is very suitable for her.
"Katsura Kotonoha, Eriri... these people shouldn't make such a hasty choice, after all, each of them comes from a high-class family in Japan."
Kanzaki Teru muttered to himself, "Those foolish and short-sighted people who can squeeze into that level have all been eliminated. Knowing that these people who made it onto the list are the foundation for the future prosperity of the family, they will definitely try their best to find the most advantageous cultivation path for them."
"I don't need to worry about that."
Just as Kanzaki Teru was about to lie down on the bench next to him to rest for a while before continuing his morning and afternoon classes.
unexpected--
Kanzaki Teru looked down and saw a few more people, or more accurately, a trio that was completely unexpected. Just as he was considering whether to pretend he hadn't seen anything and avoid the situation, unfortunately, he was the first to be discovered.
Below the teaching building complex—
"Sister Shiyu, our Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office is usually abbreviated as 'Super Disaster Countermeasures Office.' We are mainly responsible for eliminating evil spirits. Of course, we also handle some spiritual disasters, but these cases are very rare..."
As Kagura Tsuchimiya walked, she explained the various situations to Utaha Kasumigaoka, who had recently joined the [Super Disaster Countermeasures Room].
Although it has been explained before, the details were not elaborated.
Actually, she hadn't been in the [Super Disaster Countermeasures Room] for very long, and this kind of thing should be explained by the experienced Sister Huang Quan. However, Sister Huang Quan, who was walking ahead, didn't seem to care about this.
"Sigh, come to think of it, these two are rivals in love."
Kagura Tsuchimiya couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking to herself.
Kasumigaoka Utaha also looked displeased; it seems unlikely that the two would get along.
Suddenly, Isayama Yomi, who was walking in front, stopped. Tsuchimiya Kagura, who was behind, did not stop in time and crashed straight into him.
"It hurts..."
Immediately, Kagura Tsuchimiya couldn't help but rub her sore little nose and asked in confusion, "Sister Yomi, what's wrong?"
"Found you! Still trying to hide!"
With a powerful push off the ground, Isayama Yomi leaped towards the rooftop as if dancing lightly in the sky, using the air conditioner unit on the teaching building as a foothold.
"Who?!"
Kagura Tsuchimiya was even more confused.
"Hmph, it's Kanzaki Teru!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked displeased.
"Brother Hui!"
……
By the time Kanzaki Teru tried to retreat, it was too late. With a few leaps, Isayama Yomi drew her treasured sword, Lion King, and placed it against his neck.
"To place an exorcism sword on an ordinary person is unbecoming of an exorcist."
Kanzaki Teru flicked his finger and spoke to the Lion King, who was standing on his neck.
"You're just an ordinary person?!"
Yomi Isayama said to Teru Kanzaki in a sarcastic tone, "If you were an ordinary person, even evil spirits would have to reform."
At this time-
Kagura Tsuchimiya, along with Utaha Kasumigaoka, climbed up to the rooftop.
"Hui!!"
When Kasumigaoka Utaha saw the Lion King sword held to Kanzaki Teru's neck, she instinctively wanted to save him. However, she then remembered that the woman in front of her was none other than one of his ex-girlfriends. The thought made her furious, and she thought she might as well just kill her.
"Long time no see, Kagura. You've grown quite beautiful. No wonder you made it onto the [Immortal Beauty Ranking]."
Kanzaki Teru greeted Tsuchimiya Kagura with a smile, but the fact that the Lion King sword was resting on his neck looked rather strange.
Kagura Tsuchimiya is ranked 54th on the "Immortal Beauty Ranking," four places lower than Yomi Isayama, who is ranked 50th. However, as Kagura Tsuchimiya's appearance and figure continue to develop, this ranking will obviously improve.
"Brother Hui."
Kagura Tsuchimiya greeted Teru Kanzaki with a slightly shy yet happy expression.
"Hey, you better stop trying to seduce Kagura!"
Isayama Yomi threatened Lion King, brandishing his treasured sword.
Kanzaki Teru shrugged and said, "Alright, alright. If I were to make a move on Kagura, I would give you, her protector, a heads-up beforehand. Now, could you please put the Lion King sword down from my neck? It's rather uncomfortable."
The first part of the sentence made Kagura Tsuchimiya's face blush slightly, and Yomi Isayama glared at her angrily. However, she still sheathed the treasured sword Shishio.
Kanzaki Teru subconsciously rubbed his neck and said to Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Utaha, you really did choose an organization with little future."
These words almost made Isayama Yomi draw his treasured sword, Lion King, again.
"Indeed, we should have chosen the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters, an organization with military background."
"That one has even less of a future."
Kanzaki Teru shook his head and said, "Forget it, perhaps a 'small workshop' like the [Super Disaster Countermeasures Room] would be more suitable for you."
"Who are you calling a small workshop?!"
Isayama Yomi couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Kanzaki Teru, scolding him.
"Compared to the hundreds or thousands of people in the Yin-Yang Hall, you have less than ten people. Calling yourselves a small workshop doesn't seem wrong."
Kanzaki Teru pushed his hand away and said.
Isayama Yomi wanted to refute, but couldn't find any other words. After all, it was the truth, and in this respect, they couldn't compare to the Onmyoji Agency. She could only give up in embarrassment. However, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"What's so good about Onmyoji like those in the Onmyo-Tai Hall who are all talk and no action? Most of them are useless with almost zero practical experience."
This statement caused not only Kanzaki Teru but also Tsuchimiya Kagura to shake their heads, as it was completely filled with prejudice and hostility.
If the Yin-Yang Hall were truly that bad, how could it have become such a behemoth that controls the Yin-Yang path?
"Oh, right, since you're here, there's something I need your help with."
"No time!"
Kanzaki Teru rejected Isayama Yomi's invitation cleanly and decisively, clearly indicating that it was a troublesome matter.
“No time…” Izayama Yomi glanced at it and said, “I don’t think anyone in this school has more free time than you. You have to go this time, whether you want to or not.”
Next, despite Kanzaki Teru's objections, Isayama Yomi took the initiative and asked him for an afternoon off, then led him out of the school gate.
……
On the street—
The group consisted of four people: three stunning beauties listed on the "Fairy Beauty Ranking" and one reluctant Kanzaki Teru.
Logically speaking, a group of four like this should attract a lot of attention.
However, the passersby on the street seemed to completely ignore them, treating them like complete strangers, which made Kasumigaoka Utaha very strange.
"Sister Shiyu, this is a talisman that reduces our presence, allowing others to overlook us unintentionally."
Kagura Tsuchimiya explained, holding up a faintly glowing talisman.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was filled with astonishment. This was the first time she had directly witnessed supernatural power, apart from the previous [Dimensional Ranking].
Ten minutes later.
The group of four arrived at a coffee shop facing the street.
Antique Shop
Upon seeing the name of the café, Kanzaki Teru instantly understood why Isayama Yomi had come here.
