    "What is this… teacher?" Misumi Mikoto''s eyes widened in astonishment as the brand flew onto the back of her hand, clueless about what was happening.


    She had only seen Chen Yu and the Nakado Department sign a contract that looked almost like a magic contract, then the contract turned into brands on the back of both of their hands, and now her own teacher had transferred the brand to her, making Misumi Mikoto feel quite bewildered.


    The Nakado Department found the situation eerily inexplicable as well. Chen Yu had agreed to his request and hadid out conditions, and that mysteriously magical-looking contract was indeed valid, as he had also received information from it. But why could Chen Yu transfer the contract to Misumi Mikoto? What exactly was happening, and would Chen Yu continue to honor the contents of the contract?


    These questions and thoughts suddenly filled the Nakado Department''s mind, causing him to grow uneasy.


    "Don''t be too nervous, I don''t n on breaking the contract. I''ve simply transferred it to my disciple. If I wanted to break the contract, then the price demanded by the Endless Styx would be paid by her... it''s a little trick to get out of Stygian River Contracts.


    Of course, it''s also a lesson for her to understand not to sign any contracts lightly, because you don''t know if the other party will truly honor the contract—even with the most unbreakable Stygian River Contract."


    Chen Yu looked towards Misumi Mikoto, stood up, walked to his desk, picked up the crystal ball imprisoning the killer''s spirit, and handed it to Misumi Mikoto.


    "Next will be your first practical lesson. I''m going to teach you how to conduct irvoyance." Chen Yu looked at Misumi Mikoto with a serious and earnest expression, advising her, "Although I told you not to sign any contracts lightly, simrly, if you do sign one, you must fulfill it. I''ve transferred the contract I made with Dr. Nakado to you, so now the person who needs to pay the price is you.


    You need to help Dr. Nakado get his vengeance and help him meet his lover. And Dr. Nakado will honor the contract and serve you for a hundred years."


    "But I don''t know how to perform irvoyance!" Misumi Mikoto, holding the crystal ball, didn''t know what to do next.


    "That''s why this is your first practical lesson, to learn how to perform irvoyance." Chen Yu said with a smile, truly enjoying the feeling of teaching his disciple.

    "This is a property under the ownership of the Mingyue Society, donated by an enthusiastic member." Kyuuzai Ryousen led the way, with Chen Yu and Misumi Mikoto, among others, following behind him through a building: "After I received your call, I had people prepare the venue and materials.


    But as you specifically instructed not to set up the ceremony, I didn''t let anyone overstep and set up the ceremony beforehand."


    Chen Yu was very satisfied with Kyuuzai Ryousen''s efficiency; he had made a call only half an hour before, and everything was already prepared. It was undeniable that he was a very handy subordinate, and inparison to Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu, Kyuuzai Ryousen didn''t have so many ideas and could focus more on serving him—which was exactly what Chen Yu appreciated.


    "Well done, Ryosen-kun. I''ve seen your work over the past period, and when the time is right, you''ll receive the reward you deserve." Chen Yu encouraged Kyuuzai Ryousen and then told him, "Go and tend to your own matters. I''ll call you again if needed."


    "Yes, sir." There wasn''t a trace of tion or pride on Kyuuzai Ryousen''s face at the encouragement andmendation. He bowed to Chen Yu, then left the room and thoughtfully locked the door behind him.


    Watching Kyuuzai Ryousen leave, Chen Yu shifted his attention to the three somewhat awkward individuals standing before him.


    "Rokuro, stand aside. Just don''t make any noise that might disrupt the ceremony, and you can do whatever you please... of course, no photographing or any kind of record-keeping," Chen Yu first said to Kube Rokuro, who seemed curious and a bit ufortable: "Mystery and transcendence are too dangerous for ordinary people.


    Without professional guidance, you should never attempt or get in touch with it lightly, so the spread of transcendent knowledge isn''t a good thing."


    "Understood, Brother Yu, I know what to do," Kube Rokuro nodded, moved quickly to the side of the room, and made it clear he didn''t intend to do anything that would disturb the ceremony.


    Seeing that Kube Rokuro respectfully took his ce, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction and then turned his gaze to Dr. Nakado, who was waiting anxiously: "Dr. Nakado, please wait on the side."


    Dr. Nakado, like Kube Rokuro, was somewhat awkward, not knowing where to ce his hands and feet and even appearing nervous.


    It had been a long eight years of searching, driven by both hatred and longing. Now everything wasing to a conclusion, but he felt unusually anxious and uneasy. The thought of soon seeing his lover again even left him unsure of what to say.


    However, Chen Yu didn''t seem too concerned about Dr. Nakado''s state but started to arrange the materials prepared by Kyuuzai Ryousen, and, after gesturing for Misumi Mikoto toe forward, exined to her.


    "The Spiritual Communication Ritual is a very basic yet frequently used ritualistic spell in necromancy, ranging from simple irvoyance that ordinary people can use, to themunication with the world''s root will that only deities can perform.


    It runs through all the knowledge a Necromancer coulde to grasp." Chen Yu began his exnation and took out a ck and a white crystal from the materials prepared by Kyuuzai Ryousen: "Different materials y different roles in the Spiritual Communication Ritual. The White Crystal symbolizes purity and, of course, light, and how to use it depends on the needs of the ritual.


    The ck Crystal is the same, symbolizing darkness, the moon, and death. Sometimes when we don''t have ck Crystal, we can use Obsidian as a substitute, but Obsidian can only symbolize darkness and death, not the moon."


    Listening to Chen Yu''s exnation, Misumi Mikoto tried her best to memorize his words, but as shecked pen and paper, she could only quicklymit them to memory.


    Seeing Misumi Mikoto diligently trying to remember what he said, Chen Yu smiled and said, "No need to memorize it so rigidly. Once you''re officially inducted, I''ll give you a Spellbook with rted knowledge. Now let me teach you about the Spiritual Communication Ritual and the most important foundation of all other rituals: the Unity of All Things."


    With that, Chen Yu lifted his hand to summon purple mes, drawing a ming circle on the ground to surround himself and Misumi Mikoto.
