Part 1
After the exorcism by Kagurazaka-san.
I was being trained by Kuuya-san to practice spiritual power.
..
Good, keep it up. If you are in a hurry, it will end up with an outburst of spiritual power. So, it is important to continue your training slowly.
The goal of my current training was to be able to freely release my spiritual power at will and to be able to circulate my spiritual power freely within my body.
As a way to achieve this, I first needed to face my own spiritual power, so I focused on my own body while sitting in meditation.
This method was similar to the first time I sensed magic power, but at that time, I was unaware of this spiritual power that was lurking in my body.
It was only after I completed the trial in the heavenly realm that I became able to sense the spiritual power in my body.
I dont remember what kind of trial it was, but it was a test to cease being human, and I guess it was that act that led me to face my own existence, and this was how I came to manifest my spiritual power.
As I was thinking about this and manipulating the spiritual power inside my body, Kuuya-san gave me the signal to end the session.
Alright, lets call it a day.
Hmm
Umu, umu. As expected of my descendant. You have quickly mastered the art of using spiritual powers.
As Kuuya-san said, it had not been that long since I began training, but I was able to freely release and move spiritual power within my body without any particular difficulty.
The only thing I had to be careful about was that I dont spread my spiritual power around too vigorously, but since Kuuya-san was watching over my training, I dont have to worry about that at the moment.
In other words, I could say that my training was going quite well.
I continued with my training regarding spiritual power, but there were still many things I didnt know about it.
Um, Kuuya-san. I am training in this way, but what can I actually do with spiritual power and sorcery?
Well, right It seems that there is a technique called magic in the other world, it can definitely do something similar to it. If magic consumes magic power to cause phenomena, then similarly, sorcery is a technique that consumes spiritual power to cause phenomena.
Does that mean you can create flames?
Yes. The only clear difference between magic and sorcery is that sorcery is more offensive.
Offensive?
I tilted my head, and Kuuya-san continued.
As I mentioned before, spiritual power is the result of the stain of death becoming a power. Therefore, its power is also close to death. In other words, the sorcery that is released by consuming this power also has a high ability to kill. For example, if you compare a flame created by magic and a flame created by sorcery, the flame created by sorcery is much hotter, and above all, it does not disappear.
It doesnt disappear?
Yes. Just as you cannot attack a demon without spiritual power, a phenomenon created with spiritual power can basically only be canceled by another phenomenon that is also filled with spiritual power. You must remember that.
Indeed, the difference would be quite large since a flame created by magic can be extinguished even by water that is not separately imbued with magical power.
I see
In addition to this, the training you are currently undergoing to manipulate the spiritual power within your body, if you are able to do this, you will naturally be able to continue strengthening your body.
In other words, it would be a sorcery version of the physical ability through magic.
Due to having the demons constitution, you and I have never been able to develop proper muscles, but if you can handle your spiritual power, you will always be able to exert a force that cannot be compared to muscular strength. Unlike sorcery, which releases spiritual power out of the body, this one does not consume spiritual power
If it werent for this power, I wouldnt have been able to fight against those demons.
Thus, I spent peaceful days with Kuuya-san training me to control my spiritual power.
To be honest, Im curious about the demons that appeared in this world and the reason why they appeared in this world.
But I couldnt exterminate the demons on my own.
I think Kuuya-san was concerned about this, too.
You shouldnt worry too much about it. Right now, you should only think about helping the people around you.
Its not a laughing matter its true that all the events youve been involved in have been successful, but you certainly cant take it lightly with the effort that went into them Thats why the other teachers are stopping you. If you would just think a little more about what youre doing, youd be able to act as a normal student council president, you know?
I wont be such a boring student council president!
Do as you please
Apparently, this student council president is quite a unique person.
So, Kitaraku. I have a very bad feeling about this you, whats your business with Tenjou?
Oh, thats right!
The student council president Kitaraku, who remembered his purpose thanks to Sawada-senseis words, said to me with his chest puffed out.
Yuuya Tenjou-kun! I would like you to raise the school idols of our school!
..Yes?
I couldnt help but ask back at the unexpected words of the student council president.
The other classmates who were listening around the room were also darting their eyes at the student council presidents words.
However, only one person, the student council president, alone was convinced and took my hand.
Oh, youll take care of it! Then lets start talking about the details
W-wait a minute! I didnt say Id take on the job.
Hmm? Didnt you just say yes?
I was asking back!
It should not have looked like I agreed to it by any stretch of the imagination, but apparently, the student council president didnt think so. Thats strange is it possible for there to be such a difference in perception?
Then the student council president let go of my hand and tilted his head.
Hmm that I was mistaken. But what do you want to ask back?
No, I want to hear it all back from the beginning
As well as the school idol, and Im the one who will raise it, and I dont understand the situation from what its all about.
Sawada-sensei, who had been quietly watching what was going on, let out a sigh.
Hey, Kitaraku are you trying to start something weird again?
What do you mean by strange? Im just proposing a means to spread the word about how wonderful this academy is!
This direction is too crazy
Everyone in the class, not just me, nodded in agreement with Sawada-senseis words.
Then Luna, who was getting ready to leave as well, asked in a whisper.
I dont know what it is, but what is this school idol thing that guy was talking about?
U-um
To be honest, I dont know how to explain it.
I am not very familiar with those things as well.
Shingo-kun, perhaps sensing my concern, appeared out of nowhere.
Lu-Luna-san!
Oh! W-where did you come from?
T-thats not the point. School idol is
Shingo-kuns explanation, which was even more enthusiastic than usual, helped not only Luna but also me to understand the school idol thing somewhat.
I see So, there is such a culture in this world and when it comes to a position of gaining popularity among the people, it may be similar to that of a saint or a hero, like Mai.
Luna was a little overwhelmed but seemed to understand the concept of idols by matching it with her own knowledge.
Ah, Kitaraku-senpai!
I-Ive been looking for you!
Kaori?
