The bearer of ghosts and gods who return the spell

Just as he was thinking about it, there was the sound of a key turning at the door.

"I'm back~"

Soma Josuke responded almost instinctively: "Welcome back."

Although I already knew what my sister Yui looked like, seeing it with my own eyes was another story.

With no vocabulary, he could only describe the girl in front of him as ordinary.

The ordinary long hair, the ordinary face, the ordinary facial features... except for the curves that a girl should have, everything is so ordinary.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, let's eat."

This was the first time since he was born that he heard such a title in real life, which made him feel a little elated.

Dinner time ended quickly, and he lay in bed silently thinking about everything that happened today, but it still felt unreal.

Traveling through time rejuvenated his soul, but the physical exertion soon made him fall asleep.

The night passed quickly.

Soma Josuke opened his sleepy eyes and saw the ceiling of Soma's house. He was a little disappointed but also a little lucky.

There was a note left by Yui in the living room, saying that he would ask for leave for him. In the morning, he couldn't wake up no matter how much he shouted. If he hadn't been snoring, he would have almost called an ambulance.

It was almost dusk outside, and he didn't know why he slept for so long...

Suddenly, a headache struck Souma Josuke and he found that there was something called a system in his head.

"system?"

Perhaps hearing this call, a translucent panel appeared in front of Soma Josuke.

[Host: Soma Josuke]

【Age: 16 years old】

[Strength: E, Agility: E, Physical strength: E, Magic power:? 】

[Form: None]

[Spell Tool: None]

Spell power, spells, spell tools...

When he saw these words, the first thing he thought of was the comic he was reading before traveling through time, called "The Return of the Spell."

A very absurd guess emerged in his heart uncontrollably: He traveled through time because of reading comics, and he was in the world of magic.

He remembered that in this world, magicians used magic power to exorcise a kind of monster called the curse spirit.

Spell power comes from people's negative emotions. Except for some special cases, almost everyone has spell power.

Ordinary people have less magic power. They cannot keep the magic power in their bodies, and will create monsters like magic spirits due to the leakage of magic power. However, they themselves cannot see the magic spirit, which is a bit ironic.

"Ding dong~"

Souma Josuke, who was recalling the setting of this comic, suddenly heard the clear ringing of the doorbell.

Looking at the time, Soma Josuke felt a little strange.It's only around 5 p.m., who would come to my home at this time?

With some doubts, he opened the door, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Josuke-kun, you didn't come to school today. I helped you organize today's course materials."

The rosy-cheeked Mirai stretched out his hands and handed a notebook to him, but Soma Josuke couldn't see any happiness on his face. Instead, he looked somewhere ugly.

Chapter 2 The ultimate in controlling ghosts

In Souma Josuke's eyes, a monster with eyes all over its body and seven or eight arms was crawling behind Mirai's back, saying "Soft... soft..." Soft..." Such a disgusting voice, but she herself had no reaction to it.

"you......"

As soon as he spoke, the monster seemed to sense something. All its bloodshot eyes stared at him, exuding a cold aura.

Mistake!He should pretend not to see the monster for now.

The current situation seems to have developed in an unpredictable direction...

Eh?etc!

Ordinary people can't see the curse spirit, so since he can see it, doesn't it mean that he has good curse power.

With a slight thought in his mind, he opened the panel again.

[Host: Soma Josuke]

【Age: 16 years old】

[Strength: E, agility: E, physical strength: E, spell power:? 】

[Form: None]

[Spell Tool: None]

Automatically ignoring the attributes all marked with E, he looked at the magic power displayed as a question mark on the panel...

Although it is not clear what this question mark represents, from the fact that he can see the curse spirit, it is inferred that his spell power has at least crossed the threshold of a spell master.

But he doesn’t know how to use it!It's like a person who finds a mine at home but doesn't have the tools to mine it. He doesn't know what to do for a while.

Souma Josuke could only maintain his previous actions because the monster in front of him did not take his eyes away from him.

Time passed by second by second.

Future lowered his head and stretched his hands straight.

But after waiting for a long time, the notebook still didn't leave his hand.

She couldn't help but look up and found Souma Josuke standing blankly without any reaction.

"Josuke-kun, what's wrong with you?"

"Josuke-kun?"

She called several times, but there was still no response from Souma Josuke, with a look of disappointment on her face.

"Josuke-kun, if you don't welcome me, then I'll go back."

[Start triggering task selection]

【please choose】

[1. Prevent the opponent from leaving and exorcise the target curse spirit. The host is at risk of death and will be rewarded with an adaptive spell*1. 】

[2. Let the opponent leave, and you will be rewarded with a random spell*1 (effective after 24 hours). 】

A translucent bullet frame appeared in front of Soma Josuke.

It is indeed a curse spirit!

Just these two options...

On the surface, the second option seems to be more suitable. There is no risk to you and you can also obtain the magic tool.

However, it can be seen from the first option that this curse spirit is life-threatening to humans. The second option needs to be completed after 24 hours. If the curse spirit is allowed to leave...

"I'm leaving." At this time, Future had already taken back his notebook and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Souma Josuke stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

[The host has made a choice, please kill the curse spirit as soon as possible. 】

Damn the system, I haven’t chosen it yet!

Although he was complaining in his heart, he could only continue now, "I'm sorry, future classmate, I was just distracted just now, you can come in and sit down first."

As he spoke, he observed the curse spirit.

The curse spirit seemed to be on guard against him, remaining unchanged, but there seemed to be more bloodshot eyes.

To be honest, Soma Josuke doesn't know what to do now.

Although he remembered that he could carry out magic attacks without any spells, how to mobilize the magic power in his body was a problem.

"Josuke-kun, I heard from your sister that you were sick today. Are you feeling better now?"

"Well, I feel better after sleeping for a day."

......

While he was talking to the future, he was observing the movements of the curse spirit, and he was still recalling the settings in the comics.

It turns out that multitasking is too tiring, and he is getting more and more irritable now.

Time is still passing slowly.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but he found that something was not right about the curse spirit. The bloodshot eyes in its eyes were almost to the point of pinkeye, and its body was smaller than before.

Suddenly a very strange thought came to his mind: Does this curse spirit seem to be afraid of me?

Souma Josuke leaned forward a little without leaving any trace.

Although it was not very obvious, Souma Josuke, who had been staring at the cursed spirit, still noticed some small changes.

He suddenly had an idea.

"Future classmate, do you feel very tired today?"

"Eh? How do you know, Shirosuke-kun?"

"You don't look too good. Let's play a relaxing game."

"what game?"

"It's very simple. One of us has his back to the other person, and then bends back to see who can bend lower. The other person should be behind to protect the person in front from falling."

"Then what's the reward for the winner?"

"There are also rewards."

"Of course, Shirosuke-kun, since it is a game, there must be punishment or reward. Otherwise, the loser must agree to the other party's request."

"Uh, okay."
