9 Chapter 9

(Chapter 9 is a filler chapter that explains the progress in power of Rokuro, Benio, Ryougo, and the others in Seika Dormitory, Mayura, Seigen, and Shimon Ikaruga, as well as how many techniques Rokuro recreated using the A. I chip and how stringer he had become, as well as a bit of Rokuro and Benio's school life together. You can skip this chapter as it is full of fillers )

And with that, Time slipped away like a passing cloud. Two years had passed since the incident with Ijika Yuto and the Night Fair event with Benio and Rokuro. Benio and Rokuro are now in the middle of their third year of Middle School.

Rokuro finished recreating the entire Hazama-Ryu Kekaijutsu that works with Spiritual Power or Magical Power in this world with the help of his A.I chip. Not only that, but he completed the entire breathing technique for Hamon or Ripple Arts.

The Association classified the Hazama-Ryu Kekaijutsu as a Yin Art Exorcism Technique, whereas the Hamon Breathing Technique as a Yang Art due to its Ripple Energy that resembles the sun. This occurred a year ago.

While the second year of the two-year time skip was spent training and teaching Ryougo and the other dorm residents the Hazama-Ryu Kekaijutsu and Hamon Breathing Technique.

Rokuro also recreated the Imperial and Common Style Exorcist Arts from the Tokyo Raven world. But, after recreating and submitting the entire manual to be taught in the mainland and on the island, Rokuro stopped recreating techniques from other Exorcist Anime and Manga and instead continued training and strengthening his body using the Mortal Cup and fighting against SSS and EX Rank Basara in the Instant Dungeon.

The Hamon Breathing Technique is a Yang Art that strengthens the user's power when using Yang Related Exorcism Arts, as well as strengthening the user's body by using solar energy from the sun and Spiritual Power or Magical Power from the atmosphere as he breathed in and out. Furthermore, if the user became a master of the art, he or she would have the same strength as an S Rank Basara using only his body.

Close Combat Exorcists began to learn and master the Hamon Breathing Technique, which Rokuro began spreading in the mainland and on the island with the assistance of Shimon, who left the mainland a year ago.

Seigen, on the other hand, left immediately after mastering both Musou and Zekkai, which became his Absolute Defense because he is usually in a bad mood every day. The Zekkai technique, which uses Negative Emotions, was ideal for Seigen, whereas the Hamon Breathing Technique was ideal for Shimon, who usually focuses on Yang-related arts.

Not only that, The sword that Shimon used became much more powerful if he used the Hamon Breathing Technique together with another Yang Technique. While the Common and Imperial Style became the mainstream 5 Element Sealing and exorcising technique that the Exorcist used.

Not only that, but Shimon's sword became much more powerful when he combined the Hamon Breathing Technique with another Yang Technique. While the Common and Imperial Styles became the dominant 5 Element Sealing and Exorcism Techniques used by Exorcists.

Aside from that, the Common and Imperial Styles became the mainstream elemental Sealing and Exorcism Arts in the association, which became well-known among exorcists who specialized in the Elemental Arts in the association.

Rokuro received a pass that allows him to enter and leave the island without permission because he was an exorcist who created a completely different system that benefited the entire association.

But that wasn't the only thing Rokuro accomplished in the two years that had passed. His human body was completely transformed into a body of an Impurity and an Immortal Demon. His purple talisman evolves as well, and he makes two more releases. The Astral Flame Lord Celestial Flame Body was the first to be released.

However, the second release was a fusion of his Abe No Seimei form, Impurity Body, and the Immortal Demon Bloodline's Battle Mode. He referred to it as the Astral Flame Lord Heavenly War Demon Body. A body that had all of the advantages of the Immortal Demon Body, Impurity Body, and His Abe No Seimei form but without the disadvantage of becoming unconscious after entering Abe No Seimei form and going on a mindless rampage.

The second released is more or less the Mystic Equip of the Heavenly Commanders from the island, which completely transforms his entire body and increases his overall power and spiritual power by 15x. His second release is also quite different from his first release, as his first release only increased his Physical Power and Spiritual Power by 5x, whereas his second release not only increased his Physical Power and Spiritual Power by 15x but is also much more combat-oriented than his first release, with a passive defense that reflects 80 percent of the damage he received to his enemies.

With how easily he kills SSS Rank Basara in the Instant Dungeon, which is also a much stronger version than the Basara in the real Magano, his current power is already below that of Abe No Seimei and Ashiya Doman, who are at the peak of SSS Rank.

According to what Rokuro discovered about Magano. Magano is a complete replica of the real world, but in a post-apocalyptic setting. Not only that, but it feels more real than a world of destruction and chaos. Which led to him theorizing that someone who can completely master the Hazama-Ryu Kekaijutsu can make his or her own world and seal someone inside for a very long time.

With what he learned about Magano, he began devising a plan that involves the King of all Impurities, who is sealed at the farthest reaches of Magano. So much for his progress. It's time for Benio and Mayura to make headway in the two years that have passed.

Benio grew to the strength of a S Rank Basara thanks to the Hamon Breathing Technique and the Hazama-Ryu Kekaijutsu that he learned and mastered all the way to the expert level. Not only that, but she also learned both the Common and Imperial Styles as a precautionary measure in case she becomes unarmed.

Benio also learned and mastered the Musou and Zekkai techniques, as well as the Stealth magic from the Common Style and the Movement Technique, Far Step from the Imperial Style. She even devised her own movement style that incorporated the Stealth Magic she had learned.

The movement technique she devised became the primary movement technique used by Rokuro in battle. After mastering and incorporating Stealth Magic, she named the movement technique she created Void Step. The Void Step lets you enter a Void Like state where you move much faster than your opponent can even react to.

Seigen wasn't able to learn the technique even the technique was quite perfect for him as he's a Heavenly Commander who focuses on both speed and power. And Benio couldn't give a manual to Shimon as a gift as he already left before the technique was made.

Except for Benio, the creator of the technique, Rokuro, and Mayura, no one else was able to learn and master it. Ryougo and the others were unable to learn, so they began learning far step and stealth magic with much greater zeal than before, as well as the Hamon Breathing Technique and the Hazama-Ryu Kekaijutsu as a long range combat measure.

Ryougo and the others specialize in Closed Combat exorcism, but if they are pushed to the limit, they will resort to Long Range combat in order to live another day. Mayura, on the other hand. Mayura has made the most progress in the two years, and she is now on the same level as Ryougo, who is the third strongest in the dormitory after Rokuro and Benio.

Mayura, like her father, concentrated on both speed and power, becoming the fastest to cast the entire Hazama-Ryu Fundamentals Technique to exorcise Impurities. Not only that, but her mastery of the Void Step allowed her to enter a state similar to bullet time, which greatly increased her reaction speed, allowing her to set boundaries on the Impurities she targeted long before the Impurity could take a step.

And that's her battling an impurity while moving. Mayura's fighting style is akin to that of an assassin: quick, sharp, and precise. While Benio's combat style is similar to that of a Swordswoman, she relies on speed and power to behead her enemies in a single strike.

When she fights, she usually does this. She kills and exorcises the Impurity in one blow by beheading it. With her mastery of Musou, Zekkai, and the Void Step, which she created by combining Stealth Magic from the Common Style and the Far Step from the Imperial Style. She became an unbeatable swordsman, killing ten impurities with each step forward.

Rokuro's fighting style, on the other hand, is a cross between a tank and a closed combat fighter from a video game. He's a powerful tank with his Resilient Body and Healing Factor, as well as a powerful Warrior with his gauntlets or fist.

He could remove a few dozen impurities with just his fist, which creates a shockwave that travels 90 meters forward in a cone shape every time he hits the body of his enemies.

Seigen, on the other hand, became the fastest and sharpest exorcists in the entire association simply by mastering the Hamon Breathing Technique, which increased his attack power, Musou, who increased his speed, power, and how fast he can react, and Zekkai, who acts as a natural defense from enemies while also dealing constant damage due to his mastery of the Byakko.

Seigen rose directly in the Heavenly Commander Rankings and is now only weaker than Tenma Unomiya, Arima Tsuchimikado, and Enmado Rokuro, whose power level is already equal to Arima Tsuchimikado's.

Aside from that, another notable event that occurred in the two-year time span was the relationship between Rokuro and Benio, which became widely known at their school a year ago after one of their schoolmates at Narukami Middle School saw them out on a date.

The event was quite amusing because it occurred a day after news of him and Benio going on a date had spread. All of their classmates started asking them when they started dating, How long they have been dating, How did both of them meet, and questions more or less like that.

Rokuro, Benio, and Mayura's school lives are still quite normal, with the only changes being Benio becoming the 2nd top scorer, Mayura becoming the 3rd top scorer, and Rokuro remaining at the top of the class for the past three years in Middle School.

Rokuro's current power level is comparable to that of the Exorcist Association's current leader, Arima. Not the Arima who was compelled to become a fallen impurity and die. Sakanashi going all out and Arima going all out is on the same level as Abe no Seimei and Ashiya Doman, while Rokuro can only compete with Arima if he uses his second release.

The only way Rokuro can have the same power level as Abe no Semei is if he truly becomes the incarnation of Yang and fully awakens his Abe no Seimei form, which is impossible unless he goes to Magano and kills both Yuto and Sakanashi, who both have other parts of Yang inside them.

Benio, on the other hand, will never be as powerful as her ancestor, Ashiya Doman, unless she awakens as the Great Yun incarnate, which will be imposed for the time being unless her entire Magic Power vanishes.

That situation will only happen in the future after she gets tested by the proctor that had been sent from the island for both Rokuro and Benio. If both of them pass the proctor's exam, they can go and live on the island, but only Rokuro has a good chance of passing because he is the son of Abe no Seimei, making Kuzonoha recognize him as Abe no Seimei, while Benio won't be able to pass unless Rokuro talks to Kuzonoha and lets her pass her assessment while forgiving what Ashiya Doman did back then.
