Ototornis appeared behind Minamoto No Sho and asked the question that all Spirit-branded Retainers cared about. "Milord, you've already graduated from middle school. Have you decided which high school you want to study in?"

"Yes, I plan to enroll in the Heroaceae Xiongying High School. Xiongying High School is close to home, and it'll be more convenient for Heroaceae to get a temporary Hero License. It'll be more convenient for me to bring you out with me in the future," Minamoto No Sho replied to Ototornis as he organized the things on the table.

"Milord, you can make the decision. I'm sure Yingcao and the others will be very happy with your decision. After staying in the courtyard for so many years, they've long wanted to go out and have some fun."

"Shifters have always been free. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have stayed here for so many years," Minamoto No Sho put down the things in his hands and said seriously to Ototornis.

"Every monster in the courtyard is willing to stay. Besides, there are so many monsters in the courtyard, yet we don't feel lonely." The Ubisoft's tone carried a hint of a smile.

"You've been with me for so long. Let me do something for you from time to time," Minamoto No Sho said seriously.

"Milord, you've always been a gentle person."

Ototornis stood up and bowed to Minamoto No Sho, "I'll go and tell everyone this news. In order to celebrate milord's graduation, we've already prepared a celebratory banquet in the courtyard. Milord, when you're done with your work, please come to the courtyard for the banquet."

Minamoto No Sho nodded in agreement. Ototornis turned around and disappeared from the room.

"Knock knock knock!"

There were three knocks on the door, and then the door was opened. Ōta Aizawa walked in with a delicately wrapped box in his hand.

"Uncle Ōta." Minamoto No Sho stopped what he was doing and looked at the person who had come in.

"Ah, your graduation present. Congratulations on successfully graduating from middle school," Ōta Aizawa passed the present in his hand to Minamoto No Sho and congratulated him.

"Thank you, Uncle Ōta."

Minamoto No Sho took the gift box and opened it. It was a brand new pair of black leather gloves, which were used to protect his hands when wielding a katana.

"Are you sure you don't want to take the Xiongying's Guaranteed Student Exam? I still have a spot." Ōta Aizawa thought about it and asked.

"Uncle, do you still not believe in my abilities?" Minamoto No Sho put on the gloves and tried them on. The size was just right.

"Of course I believe in your ability."

Ōta Aizawa stared at her with his dead fish eyes. "I just want you to take the admission exam so that you can enter the school early."

"I know the contents of the Guaranteed Student Exam. Although it changes every year, the Guaranteed Student Exam is not as challenging as the Xiongying Entrance Test." Minamoto No Sho's tone was full of eagerness.

"Ah, you can decide for yourself."

Ōta Aizawa replied indifferently. "If there are no accidents, I will be the head teacher of this year's Heroaceae Year 1 Class A."

"I understand, Uncle. I will definitely enter Year 1 Class A Heroaceae Year 1 Class A." Minamoto No Sho instantly understood the meaning behind Ōta Aizawa's words and promised.

"Ah, don't ruin my reputation as Eraser · Head." Ōta Aizawa got the answer and turned to walk towards the door.

"Oh, right, don't stay up too late at the party with the monsters. Also, underage children are forbidden from drinking."

Ōta Aizawa, who was about to close the door, remembered that the monsters valued Minamoto No Sho. How could they not hold a party to celebrate Minamoto No Sho's graduation?

"I understand, Uncle." Minamoto No Sho smiled and nodded.

"Ah." Then the bedroom door was closed again.

Minamoto No Sho tidied up the things in his hands and picked up the sword on the sword rack beside him. He used his spiritual energy and went to the courtyard to attend the party.

Under a huge cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, there were a few tables under the tree. All kinds of monsters were sitting around the tables. Cherry blossom monsters and peach blossom monsters were dancing under the tree.

"Minamoto No Sho -sama is here. The party can start now." Yingcao said cheerfully when she saw Minamoto No Sho walking over with a sword.

Many years ago, the current society had undergone drastic changes. Superpowers had gradually become a daily occurrence. Eighty percent of the people in society now had all kinds of superpowers, both strong and weak.

With the emergence of superpowers came social unrest and the growth of evil. In order to solve this problem, the profession of Hero was gradually born.

Minamoto No Sho was born in this situation. Unlike normal people who only discovered their personality when they were around four years old, Minamoto No Sho's personality was awakened the moment he was born. His superpowers were the power of a sword and the power of seeing ghosts.

Minamoto No Sho's power of seeing ghosts not only gave him great power, but it also attracted the attention of many monsters. Fortunately, the sword that appeared with him scared these monsters away and protected him at all times.

Minamoto No Sho had memories from the moment he was born. His memories began from the moment he opened his eyes.

In the current society, Hero was a profession that many people yearned for. Minamoto No Sho's parents were also professional Heroes, but they were not the kind of Heroes who were particularly strong.

Later, Minamoto No Sho's parents met with an accident. In the process of carrying out a mission, they fought with villains and died in the line of duty, gloriously sacrificing themselves.

Minamoto No Sho saw all of this from the television. The little Minamoto No Sho already knew what death was. At that time, he was only four years old.

For the first time, Minamoto No Sho was very glad that he had such a strong spiritual power. This ability allowed Minamoto No Sho to see his parents and a stranger again.

This stranger had a head of black hair, a small horn on his forehead, short eyebrows, and a serious expression.

"Xiao Sheng, this is the assistant of Hell, Ghost Lantern."

"Mom and Dad have already left this world and are going to Hell."

His parents' expressions were so sad. Minamoto No Sho's hands involuntarily gripped his parents' sleeves.

His parents squatted down and hugged their young child.

"Mom and Dad won't be able to stay by your side often in the future."

"Mom and Dad have already asked a good friend to take care of you. In the future, you must listen to your uncle and grow up healthily."

"Can I not leave?

Even if I become a ghost, I can still see you, so can I not leave? "Minamoto No Sho's tone carried a trace of imperceptible hope.

"No, this will disrupt the order of the present world."

Ghost Lantern on the side held a mace in his hand and said seriously, "But after you become a Great Onmyoji, perhaps you will have the ability to walk in Hell as a living person and visit your parents."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Then can I ask you to teach me how to use my spiritual power?"

"Mm …" Ghost Lantern stared seriously at the delicate boy in front of him and reached out to touch his head. Soft black hair slid through the Ghost Lantern's hand. Ghost Lantern nodded in agreement.

"I will arrange the time and send a servant to inform you when the time comes."

"Mom and Dad, I will go to Hell to visit you after I master the Onmyoji." Minamoto No Sho was very happy after receiving Ghost Lantern's agreement.

"Thank you, Ghost Lantern -sama." His parents were also very happy to receive this good news.

Ghost Lantern nodded, "It's almost time. We should go to Hell."

"Xiao Sheng, Mom and Dad's good friend is a man with seaweed-like black hair and a pair of dead fish eyes. His name is Ōta Aizawa." Ghost Lantern left with his parents as soon as he finished speaking.

"Okay, Mom and Dad."

Minamoto No Sho turned off the television and ran to his parents' room and pulled out a large black suitcase from the closet.

The four-year-old Minamoto No Sho now had his own room.

He dragged the suitcase all the way to his room and prepared to put his things in the suitcase.

When Ōta Aizawa dealt with this matter and rushed to his good friend's house, Minamoto No Sho had already packed his luggage and was sitting on the sofa quietly watching TV with a katana that was taller than himself.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Minamoto No Sho looked back at the person who appeared in his sight and asked, "Are you the uncle named Ōta Aizawa that my parents said would take care of me in the future?"

Ōta Aizawa's footsteps paused.

"How did you know?"

"Mom and Dad told me. They told me to wait at home for an uncle named Ōta Aizawa with black seaweed-like hair and dead fish eyes to take me away."

…

…

Ōta Aizawa immediately remembered that his good friend had worriedly mentioned his child's personality. He had also seen the records of this child's personality in the police station's files, such as "Swordsmanship" and "Hell."

'I always feel that this child is a little troublesome. Forget it, I've already promised those two people. I can't go back on my words.' Ōta Aizawa rubbed his hair and thought.

"Yes, I'm Ōta Aizawa, your guardian from now on. Your parents asked me to take care of you."

Ōta Aizawa walked to the child in front of him, squatted down slightly, and rubbed Minamoto No Sho's head. "From today onwards, you'll live with me. If there's anything you need to take with you, pack it up and take it with you when you leave."

Minamoto No Sho jumped off the sofa with the katana in his hand and turned off the television. He looked up at Ōta Aizawa and said, "I've packed everything in my bedroom. We can leave at any time."

"Ah, you're done. That's neat."

"I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future. I'll be obedient."

Minamoto No Sho spoke like a little adult. Then, Minamoto No Sho took the initiative to hold Ōta Aizawa's hand and walked towards his bedroom.

Ōta Aizawa looked at the child holding his hand and thought, 'Such an obedient child shouldn't be that troublesome.'

After taking Minamoto No Sho's luggage, Ōta Aizawa locked the door of the Minamoto family's home and left with Minamoto No Sho.

First, they went to the police station to handle the adoption procedures for Minamoto No Sho. Then, Ōta Aizawa led Minamoto No Sho into his house.

The single man's house was cold and monotonous. It was a simple house with two bedrooms and one living room.

Ōta Aizawa pulled Minamoto No Sho's luggage into the empty bedroom. The bedroom was empty.

Ōta Aizawa placed Minamoto No Sho's luggage against the wall and turned to look at Minamoto No Sho. "Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to buy some furniture and daily necessities. Tonight, you can sleep in my room."

"Won't that be too much trouble? I can sleep on the floor." Minamoto No Sho was a little embarrassed.
