This was the first time in Ōta Aizawa's life that he was raising a child. Fortunately, Minamoto No Sho was a well-behaved and sensible child, so they lived together under the same roof.

A few days later, after Ōta Aizawa came back from work, he placed some information about kindergartens in front of Minamoto No Sho and asked him to choose from the ones that were close to home and had good reputations.

"You're already four years old this year. Although I don't know why you didn't go to a kindergarten, a child your age should be exposed to the outside world."

"Also, I have to work most of the time, and occasionally have to participate in some heroic activities, so I can't take care of you all the time."

Ōta Aizawa thought about his colleagues' suggestions about taking care of children and decided to send Minamoto No Sho to a kindergarten.

"A Nuo, can I go to primary school directly?" Minamoto No Sho, who did not want to go to a kindergarten, whispered his thoughts.

"Why?"

"Before my parents passed away, they wanted me to go to a kindergarten, but in my opinion, there's not much point in going to a kindergarten. Most of the children in kindergarten are still in the state of playing," Minamoto No Sho said as he secretly raised his head to look at Ōta Aizawa's expression.

"I can also make friends in primary school. I want to go to primary school to learn more. Kindergarten can't satisfy my learning needs, and I've already read some of the primary school curriculum myself."

Ōta Aizawa thought about Minamoto No Sho, who had been obedient at home for the past few days. Perhaps it was because his parents often went out for heroic activities and could not stay by his side for a long time, so Minamoto No Sho was a little precocious. Fortunately, the child could understand his parents' behavior and did not complain that his parents could not stay by his side often.

"It's fine if you go to primary school first, but you have to get along well in school and study hard."

Ōta Aizawa looked at Minamoto No Sho, who was staring at him with her cat eyes. He couldn't resist Minamoto No Sho's feelings, so he put away the documents in his hands. "I'll help you find out more about the primary school in the next two days."

"Thank you, Uncle Ōta." Minamoto No Sho showed a big smile when his thoughts were confirmed by the adults.

"Alright, go to sleep first. I'll take you to see the school in two days."

"Good night, Uncle."

Back in his bedroom, Minamoto No Sho said goodnight to the Ghost Cut on the knife rack and prepared to go to bed.

"Dong dong dong."

Someone suddenly knocked on the bedroom window, and then a piece of white paper was stuffed in through the gap under the windowsill and slowly floated to Minamoto No Sho's feet.

Minamoto No Sho, who was startled by the sudden sound, waited for a while, and saw that the Ghost Cut on the knife rack didn't react, so he bent down and picked up the paper.

"Hello, we are the Seat Boy. Ghost Lantern -sama sent us to deliver something to you. Please open the window."

"Seat compress … boy."

Minamoto No Sho looked at the words on the paper and recalled what happened a few days ago. Minamoto No Sho had some guesses about the identity of the visitors outside the window.

Minamoto No Sho moved the stool beside him to the window, stepped on the stool, and opened the window.

In front of him were two girls about the same height as Minamoto No Sho.

They looked exactly the same, and the patterns on their kimonos were the same color as their hair, one black and one white.

"We are the Seat Boy."

"Are you the student that Ghost Lantern -sama wants to teach?"

The two girls had the same expressionless face, and they said the same thing without a trace of emotion.

"This is the list of plans that Ghost Lantern -sama wants us to give you." The white-haired Seat Boy took out a thick stack of papers from behind him.

"This is a list of plans for the next ten years starting from now."

"Aligado."

Minamoto No Sho took the list of plans with difficulty, and suddenly felt that his future life was a little hopeless.

"This is how you learn how to use Reiki and some Yin-Yang techniques and principles." The black-haired Seat Boy took out a bamboo scroll that was about half her height and handed it to Minamoto No Sho.

Minamoto No Sho put down the things in his hands, and then took the bamboo scroll with trembling hands.

"These bamboo scrolls are the notes left behind by the Yin-Yang Masters. You have to study hard. Ghost Lantern -sama will come every month to check on your progress."

"The things have been delivered. We'll take our leave now. Goodbye."

As soon as the voice finished speaking, the two seated boys disappeared.

Minamoto No Sho closed the window again, put away the things that the Seat Boy brought, and then slowly climbed into his bed to sleep.

'Nothing happened just now. I'm going to sleep.'

On the way back to Hell, the two Seat Boys held hands.

"Ah, I accidentally increased the list of plans that Ghost Lantern -sama gave me by more than three times," the white-haired Seat Boy said with a stoic face.

"Ah, what a coincidence. Me too. I accidentally increased the number of bamboo scrolls that Ghost Lantern -sama gave me by more than three times. There seems to be some drafts for Yin-Yang techniques in there. Ghost Lantern -sama told me to throw them away," the black-haired Seat Boy said with a stoic face.

Then the two of them looked at each other and said in unison, "It doesn't matter anyway. Let's just pretend that we don't know about this. Let's go back."

Minamoto No Sho sneezed in his sleep, and his body shook.

Minamoto No Sho, who had tried to hypnotize himself the night before, woke up in the morning and looked at the bamboo scrolls and list of plans. He could no longer lie to himself, and from then on, embarked on the arduous path of learning.

Ōta Aizawa dealt with things very quickly. In less than two days, he came back with some elementary school materials for Minamoto No Sho to choose from. Because Minamoto No Sho was very young, there weren't many schools that were willing to accept Minamoto No Sho. Ōta Aizawa gave Minamoto No Sho a list of schools with good reputations.

"Because you're not of the right age, the school will have a simple entrance exam to test your ability. Which school do you want to go to?"

Minamoto No Sho picked out a school that was especially close to home — Didan Elementary School.

"Have you chosen?"

Minamoto No Sho nodded.

"Then I'll take you to school tomorrow morning. Do your best." Ōta Aizawa put away the other materials and encouraged Minamoto No Sho.

"I'll do my best."

April was the season when cherry blossoms bloomed. Minamoto No Sho successfully entered Didan Elementary School with 80% of the test results and became a first grade elementary school student.

The principal of Didan Elementary School took the test results and considered Minamoto No Sho's age into consideration and put him into Year 1 Class A.

"Class A is full of obedient and good children. Everyone is very friendly. I believe that Minamoto No Sho will quickly integrate into the class."

The principal smiled and patted Minamoto No Sho's hair. Then, he instructed the head teacher of Year 1 Class A to bring Minamoto No Sho into the class.

After school in the evening, Minamoto No Sho walked out of the school gate and saw Ōta Aizawa waiting for him at the gate.

"You've successfully entered the school today. As an admission gift, I'll take you to buy a school bag."

Ōta Aizawa held Minamoto No Sho's hand and walked towards the shopping center. "While you're at it, we'll also finish dinner tonight."

"Okay."

Minamoto No Sho's daily life slowly became regular. Going to school, exercising, learning how to use Spiritual Power. His time was packed full.

As he grew older and learned how to use his Spiritual Power, Minamoto No Sho became more and more familiar with the use of his Spiritual Power.

The plan that Ghost Lantern made for Minamoto No Sho was very effective. Because Minamoto No Sho didn't know the truth and was tricked by the Satoshi Boy, the original plan of ten years was completed in nine years.

After completing all the tasks, Minamoto No Sho successfully graduated from Ghost Lantern and became an excellent Onmyoji.

After Minamoto No Sho successfully summoned his Spirit-branded Retainer, Ghost Lantern gave him a Dimensional Space courtyard. It was said that it was the final masterpiece of Onmyoji Abe Seimei. It was a gift for future generations who had the ability to use it.

After becoming an excellent Onmyoji, Minamoto No Sho was also able to go on a day trip to the Multiplication Hell. He also saw his parents, who had become ghosts, again. When he left, he also took a lot of specialties from the Multiplication Hell that could be brought to the modern world.

Of course, while learning Spiritual Power, Minamoto No Sho didn't fall behind in physical skills. This was because one of his personalities was "Sword Mastery". In order to make use of this personality, Ōta Aizawa even signed Minamoto No Sho up to the Sword Dojo.

Occasionally, Ōta Aizawa would personally go up and exchange pointers with Minamoto No Sho and participate in Minamoto No Sho's growth.

Nine years and the guidance of a famous teacher were enough for Minamoto No Sho to make great progress on his own path.

The morning of the 26th of February, the sun was shining brightly.

Minamoto No Sho woke up early and tidied himself up. Today was Xiongying Academy's entrance exam.

Ōta Aizawa was a teacher at Xiongying Academy. He was also going to invigilate the students' exam today. Because they were going the same way, the two of them were going to the academy together.

Minamoto No Sho skillfully took out a pot from the kitchen and put an egg into the pan.

Two pieces of toast were baked on the toaster, giving off the aroma of wheat.

He opened the fridge and took out the jam that was going to be spread on the toast. He put some milk into a small pot and heated it up.

"Add a piece of ham for me." Ōta Aizawa, who was smelling the aroma, pulled out a chair and sat at the table.

"No problem." Minamoto No Sho answered, then cut another piece of ham and put it into the pan.

Ōta Aizawa was not a good cook. Before Minamoto No Sho's kitchen stove was tall enough, the two of them would usually go to Yukihira's restaurant to eat.

Later, in order to be self-reliant, Minamoto No Sho learned a thing or two from Yukihira's restaurant owner, and then took over the right to use the kitchen at home.

After breakfast was taken care of, Ōta Aizawa took Minamoto No Sho to Xiongying Academy with him.

Ōta Aizawa walked Minamoto No Sho to the entrance of the exam hall. At this time, many people had already entered the exam hall.

Minamoto No Sho tightened the black leather gloves on his hands. He held the Ghost Cut in his left hand and rested his right hand on his shoulder bag.
