Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 295 Ten Shadow Spells

"On June 13, a XX Airlines passenger plane was hijacked by terrorists. Fortunately, we communicated in time and finally rescued a total of 124 passengers and all crew members. No casualties have occurred so far..."

Under public pressure, the hijacking incident was finally hastily reported on the official news channel, which also included some interviews with the captain and several passengers, but overall it was still very perfunctory and meaningless.

In an ordinary apartment full of smoke and fireworks, Shen Er turned the key, opened the door and walked into the house very easily. Then he went straight to the kitchen. Before he entered the room, his amazing five senses had already sensed the fragrance wafting from the house.

"Yue, what delicious food are you making today?"

Shin'er came into the kitchen with a smile and started touching things here and there, but was soon kicked out by the impatient Ogata Yuzuki. When he returned to the living room, he saw the four-year-old little Hui sitting on the sofa watching the news on TV.

He sat down and changed the channel. Hui couldn't understand it anyway. In short, he didn't have the slightest awareness of being a father. In fact, since Hui was born, the child has always been very close to his mother.

But this may also be because Shen Er is not a reliable father. Of course, Shen Er has thought about being a competent father. His childhood was basically garbage, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to give his children a better future. But there is a most crucial problem: he can't.

For many years, he has lived a life different from that of ordinary people and, to some extent, is even incompatible with this society. Even his ability to love was something he gained from Ogata Yuzuki when he met her.

He tried to find answers from books such as "How to Be a Good Father", "One Hundred Methods of Parent-Child Education", etc., and then he tried those methods.

In the end, Shinji found that he was completely unable to do that kind of thing, and Xiaohui's reaction was not like those in the examples. In addition, Ogata Yuzuki did a good job in this regard, so Shinji almost let it go.

Having a good mother is enough, so he can be the "silent" father, and then he can feel at ease to leave the child's education to Ogata Yuzuki, who looks very capable.

He was a little absent-minded while watching the TV screen. After completing the task of Panxing Sect, he got some time to rest. It was also the time to prepare to test Zenin Hui's talent in spells.

Even though this is a little early for Hui at the age of four, it is not impossible for him to awaken the technique at his age. Moreover, even if it doesn't work, it's actually not far away. If Hui's technique is determined early, the future that has been discussed can be carried out earlier.

"But... can this kid really awaken the Ten Shadows?"

He glanced at the young child who seldom cried and stared at him with a pair of dark and bright eyes, and even reached out to ruffle the soft black hair on his little head, which was somewhat similar to Ofan Youyue's hairstyle.

Then, the angry Zenin Kei jumped off the sofa and trotted towards Ogata Yugetsu. In the end, one thing conquers another and even brought down the suppression of his "nemesis".

After the family of three finished their warm dinner time, Shinji told Ogata Yuzuki about the surgical examination on their son.

"Just today?"

Even though she already had some understanding of Shinji's character, Ogata Yutsuki was almost unable to hold back and beat him up. This kind of thing was told to her so suddenly without any preparation in advance!

Shinji then had to explain that he could ignore other people's emotions, but not Ogata Yugetsu's. Fortunately, the latter was reasonable, but just a little worried about Hui's affairs.

"Don't worry, you can just go along when the time comes. The checkup is simple and won't have any effect on the baby."

……

Tokyo Metropolitan Technical College of Jutsu.

Jiner brought Ogata Yuzuki and today's protagonist here again, and Shen Yuanyi came to greet them personally.

After greeting each other, Shen Yuanyi set his sights on Hui, whose surname was now Chanyuan. Only four years old, he inherited the good genes of his parents and could already show some of his future appearance, but he looked cute and ignorant because of his young age.

"Call me uncle..."

Ogata Yuzuki was about to introduce Xiaohui to him, but Shen Yuanyi interrupted her with a smile: "No need, just call me teacher. He will still study here in the future, it's more intimate this way."

He led them to a prepared secret room, which had been decorated with spells. The effect was extremely simple, which was to guide those who were qualified in spells to discover his techniques.

But it is easy to say, but only these big forces can do it. Those wild sorcerers or declining sorcerers like the Itadori family can only wait for their descendants to awaken the spell themselves.

However, there is not much difference between the two. The resources of both sides in spells are not reflected in this aspect. The reason why the big families want to verify the children's spells is mainly because of the existence of "family spells".

Otherwise, you can't expect a four-year-old or five-year-old to learn any spells, right? Those who have family inheritance also start to learn spell-related knowledge after they are ten years old. Exceptions like Gojo Satoru only learned some easy-to-understand things at the beginning. However, there are actually some benefits. Awakening the spells too early can help you become familiar with the spells with limitations under the guidance of the elders, especially some special spells. Using them more often is also a bit of a benefit.

Without much ado and without much guidance from the adults, the obedient Xiaohui sat in the center of the magic circle in the room. Naturally, facing him was Shenyuanyi.

Input cursed energy, activate barrier... From Xiaohui's perspective, the white-haired, amiable-looking adult in front of her suddenly had many floating blue "ribbons" around his body.

It also looked like a stream of water. In short, from the child's perspective, this scene was very gorgeous. Then those "water belts" slowly surrounded him. Xiaohui even tried to reach out and touch them, but although the cursed power could affect worldly matter, it actually had no entity.

So Shen'er and the other person who were outside the range of the barrier could only watch Xiaohui constantly reaching out to touch and fixing her eyes on something. After these special magical powers wrapped around Xiaohui, the ceremony officially began.

Just as Shen Yuanyi said, the ritual was created with the recipient in mind, so it is very gentle, and the warm feeling it brings can even make the child fall asleep.

Xiaohui was already feeling a little drowsy at the moment, but he did not fall asleep in the end. Instead, he was confusedly thinking about what those visible and intangible things were.

When the ceremony reached its final part, when the recipient began to awaken the technique in advance, strange phenomena finally appeared on Xiaohui's body.

"shadow……"

Shen'er and Shenyuan almost caught this abnormal situation at the same time. It was the small shadow under Xiaohui's body. Under the illumination of the overhead light, the originally small shadow suddenly twisted and changed, and finally turned into a dog-wolf-shaped shadow that was completely disproportionate to the size of its owner.

Even Ogata Yuzuki later noticed this obvious change. Seeing the miracle in her son with her own eyes, her mood was very complicated at this moment. However, she was not the only one, Shi Er was also a little dazed at this moment.

"【Ten Shadow Spells】, that's right... Jade Dog, the first shikigami summoned by this technique that does not require any surrender conditions, Kei really awakened this technique."

The ceremony was basically over, but Xiaohui's transformation was not over yet. After the shadow turned into a wolfhound, the shadow on the ground soon rippled like water waves, and then the real entity of the "Jade Dog" broke free from it.

It was a large wolfhound with an almost black body and a red "foot jade" pattern on its forehead. The ferocious and mighty shikigami squatted on the ground and was taller than Xiaohui.

But Shen Yuanyi and Shen'er seemed very calm. Even Xiaohui, who was staring at the black jade dog, did not panic at all. He even froze for a second before excitedly reaching out and grabbing the black jade dog's ears.

"Big dog!"

Ogata Yugetsu, who had just put on the glasses provided by Shen Yuanyi that could see cursed spirits, saw this scene: his young son was grabbing the ears of a large dog that looked very ferocious and could even swallow his head in one bite.

She was so frightened that she was about to rush over to "save" her child regardless of the consequences, but Shener stopped her in time. Didn't she see that the black jade dog was so well-behaved that it didn't seem like...it was actually in line with its appearance.

As the first of the Ten Kage Shikigami, the Jade Dog and its master are in tune with each other, so it is naturally impossible for it to hurt its master. So it just allows Xiaohui to "ravage" it with its dog-like appearance, and it really gives Xiaohui a furry feel.

In contrast, Xiaohui naturally has a natural affinity for her jade dog. In a sense, the Shikigami and the caster of the Ten Kage are one and the same.

After Xiaohui played with the Black Jade Dog for a while, Shenyuanyi squatted down with a smile and seduced its owner under the Black Jade Dog's instinctively vigilant gaze.

"Xiao Hui, do you want to create more fun animals like this big dog?"

Xiaohui blinked and nodded vigorously. Children seemed to have a general liking for animals such as cats and dogs. But after all, Xiaohui was young and Ogata Yuzuki would naturally not agree to keep a pet for safety reasons.

Now that he had such an opportunity, Xiaohui didn't think too much about it. He only knew that he might be able to have this big dog, and even other animals, so he nodded in agreement immediately.

"Okay, try to do this with me..."

Xiaohui watched Shen Yuanyi put his hands together to make shadow puppets, and he followed suit, actually imitating Shen Yuanyi's slow steps almost perfectly.

"Now call out its name - Jade Dog."

"Jade, dog."

The name was recited word for word, and there was no need to specifically teach the operation of the cursed power. With the combination of the spell, the seal, and the caster's firm desire to see the summoned object, the other of the twin shikigami named Jade Dog responded to its master.
