Chapter 24

Rin stayed for a few more days going through all sorts of tests before he was discharged by the doctor and of course he had to go back to the academy, once again with the hood which was so 'kindly' provided by the men in black. Though Rin never saw his mirror self, in his heart he was still warry.

Going back to his dorm area, he could see his classmates toiling about as usual, though they were not only running but chanting at the same time. They weren't that good at it but they were trying so the trainers weren't shouting at them as much.

'Wait there are less of them than usual, were there some who gotten hurt like me?'

What Rin did not know was that within the first year onmyouji almost everyone got hurt in one way or the other. It was only the degree of the injuries. If Rin were to explore further perhaps him and his team would sustain more damage.

Each of the teams were all deployed within rather safe zones but exploring further was a whole different story. Many of the teams got a harsh lesson after thinking little of their foes and had to stay in the hospital for an extended period. Some even died.

The smarter ones were the ones running right now but majority of them did not manage to hunt strong monsters thus earning extra training with love from the trainers.

Rin had the light duty status which his doctor so kindly provided so he wasn't required to exercise like the rest and for some reason that brought him great joy and some sense of fulfillment.

Rin decided to head to the library as usual since he could skip out physical training but when he was half way there an old feeling that he would never miss came back.

It was something you never want to feel again but it would be trouble if you did not on time.

It was the feeling of 'danger'.

Rin tossed out five charms and formed half a water dome around himself.

True enough flames came soon after and bombarded the water wall.

Steam started flooding the area blocking visibility around Rin but it was the same story for his attackers.

��Shit that kid really has good instincts, how did he block that without being on guard?"

"Young master we really should go! The army guards might be coming to check any second now that we caused such a ruckus."

"Why are you lot so scared? My family name would scare those guards shitless, just help me get rid of that brat."

The young masters guards truly hated this stupid young master, truly he caused nothing but trouble. Who in the right mind would attack another person in the middle of a military area?

But this young master who was spoilt rotten did so anyway without thinking of the consequences.

"We can't just kill someone willy nilly young master! Even master can't protect you if you do something like that!"

His guards were sweating bullets, they truly felt like crying taking this young master as a employer was simply intolerable.

The young master gritted his teeth and hissed "Fine if we can't kill him we can at least beat him up can't we?"
