Soya Misaki, Furuya Haruhisa, Karasuma Aoi.
We submitted the application form with our names written on it to the teacher and without any problems, it was accepted.
The day after we successfully formed our party made up of the dregs of dregs.
I was surrounded in the morning by the guys in my class and driven to a corner of the classroom.
"Damn you, Haruhisa, you told us that there was nothing between you and Misaki-chan!"
"Cunningly teaming up behind our backs! Didn’t you say you were going to become Kuzunoha-sama’s slave!?"
"Since it’s come to this, I’ll force you to leave your body and make your body mine."
The guys came at me with bloodshot eyes while saying things an evil spirit would say.
Information about Soya Misaki was indeed quite popular among the guys. It spread very quickly.
"Oh, shut up already! I have no choice because Soya has leverage over me! You guys also know, don’t you!? How scary Soya’s ability is!"
Despite my desperate attempt to defend myself,
"Hah!? You’re bragging that a pretty girl threatened you to join her team!?"
"I’m so pissed… I’ve been pissed for a while now…"
It was no good. I couldn’t get through to these morons.
However, having known about Soya’s popularity beforehand, I had already taken countermeasures.
"Juice made from 100% breast milk."
I whispered that to one of the guys surrounding me and his face paled quickly.
I went on to whisper to the guys one after another, "Onee-Shota Complete Works: Getting Your Ears Cleaned While Enjoying a Lap Pillow for Your Head and a Boob Pillow for Your Face", "Sock Oxygen Mask", and so on.
"I’m teaming up with Soya. Do you know what that means?"
I declared so clearly to the guys and their expressions stiffened.
"I know all about your fetishes!"
I had gotten the information from Soya beforehand!
"If you continue your grumbling, I’ll reveal them one by one at random!"
The boys backed away slowly while exchanging glances with each other,
Returning to their seats after getting in a few more grumbles, each began to shed tears of blood.
Sorry guys. I was desperate to keep my secret, too. I couldn’t be choosy about the means.
However… maybe this hadn’t been the best way to go about it after all? They didn’t even need to prepare a straw doll or anything to make me feel like I was going to be cursed.
The morning went by as I wondered if I should buy some talismans for reflecting back witchcraft from Kaede.\n
After the deadline for team applications passed by at the School for Exorcists, the exorcism requests for first-year newbies were all posted at once. The first-year students who had finished their regular morning classes were clustered together in front of the bulletin board, eager to see which one should be their first job.
Requests were posted by difficulty level from S level to D level and overall, their degree of difficulty was fairly low. The requests posted as S level were actually A or B in terms of difficulty.
Even though we may have had plenty of practical training in middle school, this was our first time exorcising spirits completely on our own. It was an appropriate level of difficulty for helping us get warmed up.
"For now, I’d like to get at least a temporary license during the first assessment next month!"
Soya’s eyes sparkled as she examined a request posted on a bulletin board.
"What are you talking about? Very few people get a temporary license on their first assessment, even in class S."
Although there were some monsters like Kaede who obtained their permanent license in their first year, they were the exception. For both the temporary and permanent licenses, the usual way to get one was to work hard and build up a track record steadily.
Of course, it varied from team to team and from person to person, but as long as you got a temporary license during your second year and a permanent license by graduation, you were good to go.
"Mmm, although that’s true… if I don’t have at least a temporary license, I won’t be able to access the Society’s database to search for information on demon eyes."
In response to my comment, the ribbon on Soya’s head swayed gently as she moped.
"Besides, we have your amazing ability, Furuya-kun. So we should keep our ambitions high!"
Soya seemed very motivated and I was nervous that she was going to take on an unreasonable request.
In the end, however, Soya chose a request with a difficulty level of C. The request was to exorcise an abandoned house where several minor first-ranked spirits had appeared.
First-ranked spirits were the kind that even a D class student could handle. To be honest, this difficulty level was a little low for our team since it was led by Soya who was from class B.
But Karasuma, whose actual ability we had no clue of,
"It will be difficult for you to understand the might of my true power unless I actually use it!"
Continued boasting without explaining what she was capable of. Therefore, we chose a simple request to see how things would go.
"I would be lying if I said I didn’t want us to start clearing a bunch of high-level requests right off the bat but well, this is our first one after all."
Soya said so helplessly as we rocked on the train to the scene.
I was relieved that she wasn’t stupid enough to choose a reckless request without knowing what her teammates were capable of.
"You know, Karasuma, I will be pissed if after talking so big, your ability ends up being disappointing."
"Hmph, your doubts are foolish!"
Karasuma, dressed in a pantsuit, replied to my words while crossing her arms.
By the way, we were free to wear whatever we wanted when receiving a request. Since our psychic abilities were mainly influenced by our mental state, the general rule was that we each wore whatever made us feel most comfortable and focused. Some people took requests in shrine maiden or nun uniforms, while others, like Soya and me, wore our school uniforms since we didn’t particularly care about what we wore.
Karasuma was in a pantsuit because she thought it was popular with girls, which apparently helped raise her mood.
At this point, I almost felt respect for her.
"Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that, Haruhisa?"
Karasuma glanced at Soya and then gave me a questioning look.
"I’ve been wondering since yesterday. All the students that Miss Misaki had been trying to recruit were from high-ranking classes. Since she chose to team up with you, there must be some kind of powerful exorcism ability you’ve been hiding from us."
In the end, I had not told Karasuma about my ability yesterday.
I couldn’t be blamed for putting it off since it was difficult for me to say it myself. I mean, what kind of face was I supposed to make when I said, "My ability is climax exorcism."
Besides, even if I explained it to her, she would probably just think I was nuts… I didn’t care if it was someone else but if Karasuma said told me I was nuts, I would probably die of rage.
"There’s a lot of people on the train so here’s not the best place. I’ll show you when we’re completing the request… you’ll understand it when you see it."
Karasuma then looked convinced for some reason.
"Fufufu, I know what you mean, Furuya. A hawk who keeps his ability hidden until the very last moment is very popular. I thought you were a stiff man, but it turns out you’re more like me than I thought."
–Don’t put me together with you.
We chattered like this for a short time until we arrived at a station near our destination.
