Chapter 44: Club Activities of the Supernatural Society
Ring ring ring.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class in Shiraishi High School, in a bright and clean classroom.
Pinggong Qianye was sitting in his seat, writing furiously, and his writing was almost leaving afterimages.
Three days have passed since I returned from the mountains of Osaka.
The last time he asked for leave, he took a total of two and a half days, during which time he took an exam in foreign language, mathematics, and science respectively.
In addition to making up three test papers, he also needs to complete the homework assigned in various subjects during this period.
Originally, he was thinking of going to a nearby shrine to discuss with the priests there how to resolve the old mountain boy's commission.
But I really can't spare the time.
It wasn't until today that I gradually caught up with the lessons I missed during this period.
During lunch break, Pinggong Chiye stayed in the classroom eating fried noodles and bread, and was busy for another hour.
School in the afternoon.
Hiramiya Chiye first went to the school store to buy some bread and snacks, and then walked towards the Supernatural Society.
"Hiramiya-san, are you finally willing to show up?"
As soon as Hiramiya Chiye walked into the conference room, Horii Suzune, who was sitting at the top seat, glanced over with a smile.
"I've been a bit busy lately and really can't spare the time."
"My grades are pretty good. Do you need me to lend you my notes?"
Pinggong Qianye pulled out a chair and sat down, asking curiously, "Your grades are good?"
"Just barely in the top five in the grade."
Horii Suzune tapped lightly on the books on the table with her slender, white fingers.
"That's not necessary. I'm probably in the top two in my grade."
"..." Horii Suzune rolled her eyes at Hiramiya Chiye, "Hiramiya-san, next time you want to show off, remember to tell me in advance."
A female member sitting to the right of Horii Suzune said with a smile, "I heard that on the first day of school, Hiramiya-san was determined to win the first place scholarship for all three years of high school."
"Did I say that?"
Pinggong Qianye, who was opening the bag of pineapple bread, was a little surprised. He was very sure that he had never said this before.
"I don't know. I just heard about it from your classmates. They said that you and the teachers even signed a military order."
The military order is real, otherwise how could a famous high school like Shiraishi High School allow him to enter the school alone at 9 o'clock to attend classes.
But what he said at that time was that he would never fall out of the top ten in every exam.
Leave yourself enough room for retreat.
"Just now Hiramiya-san said that the top two in the grade are probably because of the existence of Momoko Aso."
A member of the club took over the conversation, "I used to study in the same junior high school as Momoko Aso. During her three years in junior high school, she always took first place in all the exams, whether it was a quiz or a final exam."
Pinggong Qianye nodded in acknowledgement of the strength of this opponent. The opponent basically never made mistakes in exams and often got full marks on the papers.
He got almost full marks on his papers, except for the composition questions in foreign languages and Chinese.
Sometimes I would be deducted one or two points for no apparent reason, and the same was true for the other party.
Therefore, sometimes their performance depends on luck.
See if the teachers are in a good mood when they mark their test papers.
An inexplicable metaphysical confrontation.
This is also the reason why Pinggong Qianye cannot say directly that his grades are the best in the whole grade.
"Aso Momoko is indeed a very hard-working and diligent girl." A female member added: "I am in the same class with her. She listens attentively in class and carefully organizes her notes after class. She rarely has time to play and relax."
"Hiramichi-san, you often skip classes, yet you still have such grades. I'm sure Momoko Aso feels threatened."
Boom!
dong dong!
Horii Suzune tapped the tabletop several times with her right index finger, drawing the attention of all the members.
"Let's not discuss Momoko Aso for now."
"It's a rare opportunity for Mr. Pinggong to attend the club activities today, so we can try out the supernatural rituals recorded in the book."
"We are a paranormal club here, and exploring the paranormal phenomena in daily life is what we need to work towards." Horii Suzune brought the topic back on track.
Trying out the supernatural rituals recorded in the supernatural books on the market is a daily activity of the supernatural society.
In this regard, Horii Suzune has always strictly required that members cannot hold unfamiliar supernatural rituals in private, and when supernatural rituals are held during club activities, Hiramiya Chiya must be present.
Any member who violates this ban will be ruthlessly expelled by her.
A member once asked Horii Suzune why she did this. Obviously, some supernatural rituals contain dangers. Isn't the best way to avoid danger to stay away from all supernatural rituals?
At that time, Horii Suzune answered: "Those books that record supernatural rituals are openly sold in our country. There are always some young people who are eager for novelty and excitement and buy books privately to try them out."
"We are different from them. We use formal methods to find out those dangerous supernatural rituals, and then ban them through official channels. We don't allow them to be published in books anymore."
"To protect all those who are curious from danger, this is one of the purposes of our Psychic Society."
Pinggong Qianye personally appreciated this approach. With him by his side, even if there were any problems with these supernatural rituals, he could easily suppress them.
Because this kind of supernatural ritual summons low-level spirits, the danger level is roughly between 0 and 2.
For those who want to try excitement, such behavior is also a good deed of saving lives.
"The supernatural ritual we are going to try today is the fox, dog and raccoon."
As Horii Suzune spoke, she opened the supernatural book in front of her and began to introduce the supernatural rituals related to foxes, dogs and raccoons.
Fox, dog and raccoon dog divination is similar to a kind of advent magic. It is a divination ritual that can invite low-level spirits such as foxes, dogs and raccoons through certain rituals.
First, prepare a piece of paper, a pen, a table, and a 10 yen coin.
Write "yes" and "no" on the left and right sides of the white paper respectively, and draw a torii in the middle.
Then write the numbers 1234567890 and the fifty-sounding syllables under the Torii.
This supernatural ritual is usually performed by 2 to 3 people.
They gathered around the table with the paper, placed 10 yen coins, and each person placed their finger on the coin, holding it still, and then they could perform the summoning ceremony.
Before the ceremony begins, say: "Fox Fairy, Fox Fairy, please show yourself. If you have already arrived, please move the coin to yes."
If the coin successfully moves to yes, it means that the fox fairy has appeared and come to their side.
If the coin does not move successfully, you can continue to repeat this step.
The same method is used to summon dog spirits and raccoon spirits.
When the 10 yen coin reaches the position representing yes, you can start asking questions that you want the fox fairy to help answer, and the coin will move to the fifty sounds and give the answer to the question.
After asking the last question, remember to say: "Fox fairy, fox fairy, please return to the original torii position."
Until you confirm that the coin has successfully moved to the Torii pattern.
At this point, the entire supernatural ceremony is over.
This time, the supernatural ritual only requires three people. Horii Suzune and Hiramiya Chiya did not participate, but gave the opportunity to other members who were eager to try.
Soon, everything needed to perform the supernatural ceremony was ready.
On the windowsill, the sun is gradually setting, casting an orange-red glow.
It passed through the window and landed on the table where the papers were placed.
Two women and one man stood in a corner, each of them stretched out their index finger and pressed it on a 10 yen coin.
"Fox Fairy, Fox Fairy, please show yourself."
The three of them chanted in unison to summon the fox fairy, but the coin they were holding did not move.
They tried several times in succession, and changed from fox spirits to dog spirits and other low-level spirits, but there were no abnormal phenomena.
After finishing the last bite of bread, Pinggong Qianye looked out the window and clearly saw that when he summoned the dog spirit just now, a dog spirit floated over.
It was just that he was instinctively afraid of his own existence, so he didn't dare to go through the window and into the room.
Not to mention completing this supernatural ritual.
From this aspect, it can be seen that this fox, dog and raccoon supernatural ritual has a certain probability of coming true.
Pinggong Qianye tried to restrain his breath. The dog spirit wandered around outside the window and looked around for a while, and finally floated in slowly.
As expected, there is not much intelligence.
Pinggong Qianye stood up from his seat to throw away the garbage, and passed by the window on his way. He blew a breath out of the window, and the dog spirit turned into a ball of white light and dissipated.
