Chapter 35: Pillar of Fire
In the courtyard, Yaoya Sanyashiki was smiling, and although he was blind, Senjuro could still feel that he was looking at him: "Senjuro-kun, before the ceremony begins, you need to give yourself a title just like the other 'pillars'. β
"Let's call it a pillar of fire!" After a night of careful consideration, Senjuro, who had already made a decision, spoke out without hesitation.
"Pillar of Fire...... It's a good match for the Purgatory family, and it's a good title. β
Yaoya nodded and continued, "Then, this Fire Pillar Promotion Ceremony has officially begun. β
"The pillar, which symbolizes the pillar of the Ghost Slayer Team, is the highest honor for the Ghost Hunter Swordsman."
"Not only does it have the right to dispatch its members, but it also shoulders the burden of fighting against the Twelve Ghost Moons and exterminating the Oni Clan."
"So, Senjuro-kun, are you willing to serve as the 'pillar of fire' of the ghost killing team and contribute your own strength to the elimination of evil ghosts?"
Hearing this, Qianjulang nodded solemnly: "I am willing!" β
He worked so hard to participate in the selection of the team, isn't it just to join the ghost killing team and get intelligence help, so as to hunt more evil ghosts, how can he refuse?
Hearing his reply, a heartfelt smile appeared on Yaoyashiki's face.
Even if it is known that the likelihood of Senjuro's refusal is slim, everything is possible until the parties do not agree.
"It's an honor for you to join this team, Senjuro-kun. Come, bring the things. β
Hearing his order, a servant in the attic slowly walked out with his head bowed, holding a set of exclusive team uniforms for "pillar" level swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Team in both hands.
Taking the team uniform, Chijuro looked at it.
γGhost Slayer Team "Pillar" Class Swordsman Uniform (Fire)γ
[Quality: Magic]
[Defense: 5]
[Durability: 15/15]
[Attributes: Gathering Fire Lv.1, Flexibility Lv.1, Cleansing Lv.1]
[Gathering Fire Lv.1: A cloth made of orangutan scarlet iron powder, plus a costume woven from various precious flexible materials, has a certain bonus to fire-attribute sword skills. γ
[Flexible Lv.1: A very tough garment that is resistant to pulling, slashing, etc.] γ
[Cleaning Lv.1: A special material used on the garment that automatically cleans the surface of the dirt.] γ
[Note: There is no need to expect how strong its protective ability can be, this outfit is more symbolic than the actual utility.] γ
This was the first time Senjurou had seen a costume of magical quality.
And the attributes are pretty good.
"Senjuro-kun, do you still like it? It is a treasure that the seamstress has worked so hard to make that only the 'pillars' are qualified to wear it. β
Yaoya smiled, "You can go to the side room to change your clothes." β
"Thank you!" Bowing in gratitude, Senjurou followed the servant's guidance to the side room to change into the outfit.
When he came out, everyone's eyes lit up.
The young man's face is angular, revealing a strong masculinity, coupled with orange-red hair, at a glance, it looks like the rising sun, scorching and full of vitality.
Originally, when he wore an ordinary white robe, he gave people a sense of awe, but now he changed into this white robe with small flame patterns on the edges, which made people dare not offend in the slightest.
"Senjuro-kun, this dress suits you very well~"
Looking at the appearance of Senjurou changing into the team uniform, Butterfly couldn't help but praise.
The honey glass of Ganlu Temple on the side also nodded in agreement.
"So, is there any objection to Purgatory Chijuro becoming a 'pillar of fire'?"
When Senjuro walked back to the courtyard, Yaoya Shikiki faced everyone and spoke slowly.
This is the regular process of the promotion meeting, which is to seek the approval of the new members from the current "pillars".
Generally speaking, the strength of a swordsman who becomes a "pillar" by killing fifty ghosts may be slightly insufficient, but a swordsman who is promoted to a "pillar" by killing twelve ghost moons is rarely questioned by people on the strength side.
Being able to destroy one of the Twelve Ghost Moons, whether it is hard power or other means, means that it has the means to threaten the Twelve Ghost Moons.
That alone is enough.
Therefore, Yaoya Sanyashiki was just asking as a routine, and just as he was about to continue to say something, he didn't expect a voice to interrupt his words.
"I have an opinion."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, and they all looked at it with astonishment.
If it was the "Wind Pillar" Minoru Kawa who raised the objection, everyone would not be so surprised, after all, he has always been known for his temper and eccentricity, and it is not surprising that he stood up against it, but it was not he who raised the objection, but someone else.
Where everyone's eyes were watching, a young man wearing a two-color feather weave and holding a sword in one hand stood quietly.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Tomioka took a step forward and repeated again: "I have an opinion. β
"I apply, and I have a fight with Purgatory Senjuro."
Hearing this, Butterfly couldn't help but step forward and said, "Mr. Tomioka, Senjuro-kun is a swordsman with a record of killing the twelve ghost moons, and he is still the ghost of the wind." β
"It's because he's slaying the Winding Ghost." Tomioka Yoshiyu didn't squint, held the handle of the Hinawa knife on his waist with his right hand, and said word by word: "That's why I want to fight him." β
He turned his gaze to Senjuro: "I know you, Purgatory Senjuro. You are the younger brother of Purgatory Kyojuro and the second son of the Purgatory family. Of course, none of this matters. β
"Importantly, I met you two years ago, when you slew the 'Second String' Wolf."
Tomioka's words shocked the room and the room exclaimed.
Two years ago, the two words "second of the lower strings" were put on a 14-year-old boy, which was somewhat unbelievable.
Could it be that two years ago, a 12-year-old boy had a strength comparable to that of a ghost on the lower strings?
"I've seen your skills two years ago, and with your level at that time, even if you improved, it was far from enough to defeat Shangfeng, so I'm going to have a competition with you to test your strength."
Tomioka Yoshiyoshi's words made Chijuro's heart shake.
Unexpectedly, there were still bystanders in the battle between himself and Pei Wolf two years ago, and he didn't realize it at that time.
"Since Mr. Tomioka has asked for this, then I will grant your request."
Qianjulang sighed, Baimi finally had a mistake, but he didn't expect that the strength he had always wanted to hide would be revealed in such public.
Feeling the curious eyes of the butterfly shinobu behind him, and thinking about how to explain to Kyojuro when he returned, he felt a headache.
"Since someone has put forward an opinion, and Senjuro-kun has also agreed to the request for battle. So, under the witness of everyone, let's carry out this battle for the promotion of the 'pillar of fire'. β
Yaoya smiled slightly and announced the beginning of the battle.
