Chapter 9: Never Forget
“9997…… 9998…… 9999……”
In an abandoned temple, Tenraku is sweating in the yard while practicing his Swordsmanship. Not far away, Himejima Akeno was preparing food for the two of them, while a few Ghost imps flew in the air around Akeno.
High School D×D is a magical world of Higher Plane, with a variety of legendary races and various magical powers.
Devil uses Magic Power to gather wind and rain, Thunder and Lightning, Angel uses Power of Light to purify all evils, and there are even divine powers that only the original protagonist Hyoudou can use.
As a hybrid of Devil and human, Tenraku is able to practice both Magic Power and Spirit Qi.
Magic Power comes from spirit and imagination. The stronger the spirit is, the easier Devil gets Magic Power, and the spirit is the expression of the soul. Perhaps because his soul does not belong to this world, Tenraku did not have the ability to practice Magic, and the Magic Power that he can gather is also pitiful, so he gave up on the practice of Magic Power a long time ago and chose Spirit Qi.
Spirit Qi, also known as Spirit Power, Internal Qi, Chakra, is an ancient fundamental force that flows between heaven and earth. If Magic Power comes from the spirit, Spirit Qi comes from the whole body. It is a mysterious and unknown power hidden in all animals, plants, and human bodies.
Since the death of his mother, Tenraku has been practicing for almost 5 years now, but the amount of Spirit Qi he had gathered in his body is unsatisfactory.
This is not to say that Tenraku has no ability to practice Spirit Qi. On the contrary, his ability in this area is quite good. However, Spirit Qi is different from Magic Power. Magic Power can quickly accumulate as long as one has a strong spirit, but Spirit Qi can only be dug up from the body step by step and drawn from the world.
